Milap Owens led all scorers with 17. Jason Parent added 16. Coconino’s Preston Olney led the Panthers with 16.
Prescott fell behind in the first quarter, trailing by five. The Badgers were able to close the gap to 22-19 at the break.
It was close throughout, but the the things the Badgers needed to happen down the stretch, just did not, resulting in the three point setback.
