TAYLORSVILLE BASKETBALL

Willie Pratt's 41 points on Friday night tied the state's individual game-high scoring mark for the season.

"He's more than just a scorer," Warriors coach John Bowman said. "His rebounding and defense is instrumental in the success we're having right now."

Pratt also drained five three-pointers and scored 41 points in just 2 1/2 quarters in Taylorsville's victory over Jordan.
