Prior Lake's Sydney Yotter hit a three-pointer at the buzzer for a 79-78 victory over Moorhead Saturday in the Breakdown Sports Tip Off Classic at Hopkins High School.

Yotter got the final shot, but Riley Wheatcraft and McKenna Hofschild did much of the heavy lifting for the Lakers (1-1). Wheatcraft finished with 32 points and Hofschild scored 17 for Prior Lake, which appears ready to put last year's disappointing 6-21 season in the rear view mirror.

The Spuds (2-2) led 38-37 at halftime and got a team-high 30 points from Sam Haiby. Brooke Tonsfeldt added 28 in the loss.
