The MCC Rebel Girls were on the road Monday night as they traveled to Cottonwood to take on the Lakeview Lakers. Both teams had practiced just one time in the last week which set up an interesting matchup of two one-win teams. The Rebels’ were hoping to bounce back after blowing a 13-point lead over the last 12 minutes of their game against Mountain Lake Area Comfrey. The Lakers had a 3 game losing streak heading into Monday’s matchup but the young Laker team was hoping to see some positive improvements taking on the Rebels. It would be a higher-scoring first half than expected but the Rebels came through.
