ST. MARIES - Makayla Schaeffer scored 13 points on 5 of 6 from the free-throw line as the Prairie Pirates defeated the Lakeside Knights 42-25 in a state 1A Division 1 play-in game Saturday night at St. Maries High.

Joelle Miller scored six points to lead Lakeside, which finishes the season 15-6.

"We got out of our offensive rhythm in the first quarter and didn't seem to get it back," Lakeside coach Ron Miller said. "Defensively, I thought we played well enough to win, but we never got going on offense. They were a strong team, but their height caused us a lot of issues. Once we lost our rhythm, we never recovered it."
