BOUNTIFUL — Following Bountiful’s 62-43 win over rival Woods Cross Tuesday night, Braves coach Mike Maxwell didn’t hide his team’s game plan.

“We knew (Woods Cross star center) Austin Bankowski’s foot was injured and we tried to take advantage of it,” Maxwell said. “Austin is a great player but we knew we might have an advantage with his injury.”

At the end of the night, Maxwell’s idea proved right as the inside game of the Braves proved too much for Woods Cross.

“Dan Prawitt had a big game down low for us and our guys were smart enough to look for him and get the ball to him.”

Prawitt did have a big night finishing with 20 points on 8-for-9 shooting from the floor. In addition, Prawitt grabbed seven rebounds while dishing out two assists.

“We’ve wanted to see Dan be more aggressive and tonight he did that,” Maxwell said. “He looked for his shot and made almost all of them.”

Bountiful took a 30-21 halftime lead in part due to the stellar play of another Brave.

Nick Williams made up nearly half of Bountiful’s first half output with 12 points including two three-pointers.

“Nick was real big in the first half,” Maxwell said. “He helped open things up down low because they couldn’t leave him unguarded.”

Woods Cross did not back down after the break, however, and trailed by 10 entering the final quarter.

In the last 12 points Bountiful exploded for a 23-14 advantage putting the game out of reach.

John Maxwell and Dillon Salazar each had seven for Bountiful.

Slowed by his foot injury, Bankowski still managed to give Bountiful grief finishing with nine points, four rebounds and two assists while altering shots in the middle.

Woods Cross coach Todd Street was less than satisfied with the game and its outcome.

“Bountiful just took it to us tonight,” Street said. “They just really gave it to us.”
