She made three of six two pointers, a field goal and six of nine free throws. Senior Jess Prettner pulled down 11 for the team against Frederic. Prettner landed five of nine two pointers, made one of two free throw attempts and secured four defensive rebounds. In the second win, Jan. 3 against Grantsburg, the Rush City team took their winning attitude on the road again. Rush Cityís players landed 60 percent of the free throws they earned. The team attempted 20 free throws in that match-up. Prettner once again shined during the Grantsburg game. She pulled off 15 points for the team. Prettner snagged six of 12 two-point shots, three of four free throws and pulled down 10 rebounds. She also aided the team with five steals.
