MBA Fall League Week 4 Results ... Rebels Close Out The MBA League Perfect ... They Run The Table & Go 8-0



Champlin Park 62 - Maple Grove 18
Yes, the final score is correct.
The Rebels who wanted no part of their conference foes, jump out to a 30-0 lead with 1 minute left in the 1st half. Maple Grove gets a basket and a free throw later, as the Rebels go into the half up an unimaginable 32-3.

The Rebels spend most of the 2nd half watching the clock. 6'10 center Matt Sellers finishes with 14 points with Rebling adding 13 and Zimmermann 10.

Champlin Park 60 - Duluth East 51

The Rebels and the Greyhounds entered today's action with a potential championship game of undefeated teams. If both teams won their 4pm games, the fireworks would go off at 6pm, however De Lasalle knocks off the Greyhounds in their 4pm match up.

The Rebels play unisprired defense and fall behind the 1st half 33-24 as Starkes is a one man team. Having to deal with what seems like one sided officiating this one becomes interesting as coach Duberry picks up a technical foul as the Rebels pick up ten team fouls before you can blink.
-
The 2nd half starts with the teams trading baskets, then the Rebels go into locked down mode and tie the game at 39 with 14 minutes left. Duluth was able to hang in there behinds Starkes putting up numbers but you can tell that this one was starting to go the Rebels way as there defensive pressure builds and you can see Duluth wearing down.
-
Duluth hangs around until the 5 minute mark when the Rebels go on another run, this one is 14 - 7 and seem to have this one in hand. The Rebels give up only 18 points in the 2nd half to double Duluth's 2nd half production 36-18.

Jasper Duberry led the Rebels with 18 points after having to sit most of the 1st half in foul trouble. Kyle Zimmermann had his way around the basket slashing his way to 16 points as Jordan Reibling chipped in 12.
-
The Rebels go undefeated (8-0) in the league knocking off all the leagues top teams (De LaSalle, Minnehaha, Minnesota Select, Henry Sibley and Duluth) in route to their league championship.
