Trinity Episcopal pulled away late for a 61-53 win over Prairie View on Tuesday night. It was tied 13-13 at the end of the opening quarter and 27-27 at halftime, before the Saints broke out to a 44-39 third quarter lead and outscored the visiting Spartans 17-14 in the final frame. “We played well enough to win except for the last two or three minutes of the ballgame,” said Prairie View coach Billy Pee. “We had too many turnovers late in the game. We missed nine free throws and got beat by eight points. “We’ve gotten better, but we can’t quite get over the hump in close ballgames. I thought Seth (Allen) had a good game handling the ball and I thought Connor (Smith) had a good game on the boards.”
