LITCHFIELD -- Watertown-Mayer limited Litchfield to 32 percent shooting from the field and got 17 points from Laura Parochka as the Royals beat Litchfield 51-41 in the Wright County Conference Friday.
The Royals (11-3, 21-5) owned a five-point lead at halftime and never looked back in the second half. Litchfield (10-4, 19-7) got within two in the second half, but poor shooting hindered the Dragons' chances of putting together a rally.
