The Prescott Badgers and Lee Williams Volunteers played a game of flipping quarters Wednesday night, but in the end it was the Badgers who prevailed in a 67-55 contest in Kingman.
Lee Williams came out and took it right at Prescott, outscoring the Badgers 27-17 in the first quarter.
The Badgers came alive in the second quarter, going on a 13-0 run to take a 30-27 lead. It all started with a solid defensive effort, holding the Volunteers to just four points. Prescott held a 35-31 at the half.
The third quarter, Lee Williams and the Badgers recreated a first quarter scenario, but not quite to the opening quarters extent. The Volunteers rebounded to take the lead 48-46 as the game entered the fourth quarter.
Once again, the Badgers went back to a pressured defense that assisted in baskets for a 21-7 quarter advantage, and a win by twelve.
Prescott (4-0) in the Grand Canyon Region, and (14-3) overall, winners of five straight, will travel to face Mingus on Tuesday at 7pm. Lee Williams dropped to (1-3) and (8-7).
