Harper drains 21 for the Urbana in loss to Prairie Central
URBANA - In a career performance, Lai'yonna Harper scored a game-high 21 points in Urbana's home basketball game against Prairie Central on Tuesday. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to help the Tigers secure the "W' in the 48-35 non-conference loss to the Hawks.
Junior Madison Shade finished with seven points, and Sofia Recio rounded out the top three UHS scorers with three points.
The visiting Hawks were led by Jayla Hammond's 14 points, the sophomore and one of two team captains, delivered nine in the third quarter. Two other players notched double figures. Cami Slagel finished with 13 points, and the other captain Abi Nimbler chipped in another 11.
The Tigers play their next three contest on the road, starting with a trip to Peoria to take on Richwoods for a 12:30 PM varsity game on Saturday. The team then heads to Normal University High School for a non-conference game against the Pioneers. Then, on Thursday, it is another trip west to Peoria for a Big Twelve battle with the Rams of Manual.
