MBA Fall League Week 3 Results ... Rebels Keep Rolling Along, Pick Up 2 More Wins To Get To 6-0

Champlin Park 58 - St Anthony 38
After sleep walking to a 22-20 halftime lead, the Rebels awaken and lock down in the 2nd half and cruise in for the win. Pella led the way with 18 points with Reibling knocking down four 3's to finish with 13 (of course his free throw came on a made 3). Brandon Davis and Matt Sellers both had 8 points apiece. Good game for the non-starters to get some floor time. Josh Pratt had 7 points for St Anthony.

The Rebels will face St Anthony again in the Olive Garden Christmas tournament December 28th.

Champlin Park 53 - Henry Sibley 43

In one of the feature games of the day the Rebels fall behind 17-12 in the first half do to horrible shooting. Once the Rebels stepped up the defensive pressure the game started to swing there way ... 25-21 Rebels at the half.

Sibley who was playing without their 7 foot center Jake Kreuser do to an injury had to exclusively depend on Mike Rostampour on the inside who picked up 3 fouls in the 1st half as Jordan Jackson was forced into a number of turnovers as he had 7 points at the half.

AGAIN, the Rebels flex their 2nd half muscles with their pressure defense and traps causing a number of turnovers for the Sibley back court. Rostampour who was constantly attacked by Zimmermann, Pella and Sellers on the offensive end last as long as he can before fouling out with 14 points with the game not yet decided.

Duberry led the Rebels with 16 points (2 deep run cutting 3's) that where nicely and timely spread out thru the game with Zimmermann adding 10 (5 for 5 from the free throw line). Sellers who added 8 points with some nice put backs around the basket while showing off a nice hook shot in both games today.
(Duberry)
Game ball to Jordan Reibling (2 for 8 from the arch for 6 points) for his relentless perimeter defense that got the Rebels going in the 2nd half. It was one of his LONG 3's that sent the Rebels on the run that finally put Sibley away. Fitting enough it was his pass that led to the game ending dunk by Pella that finished theRebels 10-2 close out run. Jackson who scored 4 points in the 2nd half to finish with 11 points, had 3 crowd raising spectacular block shots for Sibley.
