Zerrick Fuller has a great floor game as the Rebels defeat Anoka 79-67 to reach the 500 mark (8-8-) and go 6-3 in the conference. Fuller led the way with 10 points, 5 assist and 3 rebounds. The Rebels had 3 other players score in double digits as well, Theisen 24 (4 more 3's), Nolte 13 and Zimmermann finished with 11 as well as adding 11 boards for his first double double of his career. The Rebels where up 35-29 at the half and pretty much kept a 4-8 point lead thru out the 2nd half do to the outside shooting of Anoka's Bernie Ward (20 points) and Eric Birch (10 points). Anoka started the game in zone defenses which caused the Rebels to show some patience on offense as well as not let them get out and run. When transition opportunities where available, Fuller converted as well as Duberry and Jesinoski who added 7 points apiece.
The win brought the Rebels record to 500 (8-8) for the second time this year. The Rebels now get ready for their conference showdown rematch on Friday with Maple Grove (6-3) who lost to Blaine last night for their 3rd straight conference lost. A Rebel win would give them sole possession of 2nd place!

Wednesday: Columbia Heights at Cooper. Cooper comes in mad after an upset loss at Irondale. The Hylanders come in high (no pun intended) after a home upset of Spring Lake Park. Always fun to watch Rodney Williams, Jr (1st time I'll see him in person this season) but Jacob Thomas of CH is on the star watch as well. Park Center at Coon Rapids and Anoka at Champlin Park are a couple of interesting NW Suburban games. DLS at SPA might be worth it just for the Davanni's pizza.
The Box: Whitehead 2, Fuller 10, Duberry 7, Nolte 13, Jesinoski 7, Theisen 24, Okafor 5, Zimmermann 11.
