City High too tall of a task for Hawks
Virginia Johnson knocked down 11 field goals and two free throws for 24 points to lead Iowa City High to a 57-42 Victory over Prairie in a Mississippi Valley Conference girls basketball game Friday night in the Hawks gym.
Prairie was at a serious height disadvantage and it made a significant difference in the outcome of the game. The 6-foot-1 Johnson got her 24, 6-2 Sierra Chambers added 11 and 5-11 Kayla Hyche, contributed nine. They accounted for 44 of City High’s points.
Prairie (4-14, 3-10 MVC) countered with hard work and hustle to make the game a competitive battle. Prairie played aggressive defense, using a variety of strategies. The changing defenses kept City High (9-4 14-4) a little off balance, but Johnson always had the answer.
