Photo by Randy Moll -- Gravette junior forward Terence Pierce makes a break for a layup in Friday's game against Prairie Grove in the Gravette Lions field house. Pierce was guarded by Prairie Grove junior J.D. Speed.
Whitnee Fitts found a way to put distance between herself and Gravette defenders, and it helped Prairie Grove’s girls pull away Friday night.

Pierce then scored 24 of his game-high 36 in the second half, and his 3-pointer gave the Lions their biggest lead, 62-38, with 5:09 remaining before Prairie Grove (4-12, 2-6) made things more respectable.
