Up Next Park Center

The Rebels (14-4 / 9-1) continue conference play on Tuesday February 9th as they take on the Park Center Pirates (9-9 / 3-7) at home. The Rebels defeated the Pirates 78-61 back on January 5th as Duberry (18) and Pella (21) (pictured) combined for 39 points.

Since that point both teams have gone in completely different directions. Park Center who was the talk of the conference when the teams first met, have compiled a 4-6 record since then including a 62-54 lost at home last Friday to conference co-leader Osseo.

The Pirates who have three players averaging in double digits, are led in the middle by senior center Justin Casey (14 ppg) (pictured below) who had a huge game against Osseo last Friday. He fouled out in the Rebel’s earlier game and finished with 12 points. Also look for their junior point guard Terez Vanpelt to create in the open court. The streaky Pirates should not be taken lightly as they are a very athletic and unpredictable team.

The Rebels, who have four starters averaging double digits, have been moved up to #5 (they were #8 last week) in the state. The Rebels are on a seven game winning streak and have won 13 of their 15 games.

Tip off time is 7pm.
