The Lady Bulldogs won 59-39 while the Bulldogs won 68-40 against the Longhorn teams.
In the girl’s game, Prairie Valley started off fast, going up 14-2. Foul trouble hurt the Lady Bulldogs as Forestburg players, specifically Allie Ciseneros, drew tons of free throw attempts.
Forestburg was chasing Prairie Valley all game after the first quarter and while the team scored well, just struggled to keep up with the Lady Bulldogs hot shooting from 3-point range as they made 13 in the game.
The Lady Horns cut it to five points at one point, but foul trouble and limited depth meant they finished the game with only four players.

In the boy’s game, it was a similar story as Prairie Valley came out hot up 31-5 after the first quarter which is the most it has scored in any quarter.
The Bulldogs were using their defensive pressure and hustle to get offensive rebounds to make up for a not so great night shooting the ball.
The Longhorns eventually got things going and played more competitively, but the score was out of reach for a chance to come back as Prairie Valley won 68-40.
Tyler Winkler led the Bulldogs with 26 points and eight steals. Tyson Easterling put up a double-double with 13 points and 12 rebounds. Dakota Fore nearly joined him scoring nine points and grabbing nine rebounds.

Saint Jo vs Bellevue
The Saint Jo Lady Panthers won easily at Bellevue on Tuesday night.
The Lady Panthers won 63-27 against the young Lady Eagles.
Saint Jo used its pressure defense to push the tempo and play fast like it likes to do to race out to a one-side win. Lady Panther Coach Daniel Lindenborn thought the team did a good job of cutting down on fouling so much, which has been an issue he has addressed in practice.
