The Rebels had less than 16 hours to get over their opening loss to St Marys before taking on the Sleepy Eye Public Indians Saturday morning at 11:30. The Rebels are a veteran team with four starting seniors and two more seniors coming off the bench. Sleepy Eye is the opposite as they don’t have a senior on the roster and dress more 8th graders and Freshman than any other age category. The Rebels experience and strength down low would help them along with their defensive pressure on their way to their first win of the year.

The Murray County Central Rebels opened their home schedule by taking on Red Rock Conference Rival Adrian Ellsworth on Friday night. The Rebels struggled with turnovers against TMB in their first outing of the season but they wouldn’t see near the pressure from the Dragons on Friday. The Rebels would also have a quickness advantage in their overall lineup compared to the Dragons even though Adrian Ellsworth would have the best individual player in the game. The Rebels would put together a good defensive first half but MCC would dominate the second half on their way to victory. The first half would see two very different styles between the two teams. Adrian Ellsworth’s Sadie Krahling was red hot from the field scoring 15 early points. For much of the first half the Dragon guard outscored the Rebels by herself but the longer the game went the tougher it became for Krahling to score. The Rebels struggled to score over the first five minutes of the game but as the Rebels rotated in their players the defense got better and better and the team was able to create fouls. MCC went to the line in the first half and scored half of their points from the charity stripe. Casey Miller and Jayda Hellewell scored 7 points each in the first half and they were the only Rebels to make shots from the field. The other six points were scored at the free throw line. Adrian Ellsworth got 15 points from Krahling but the rest of the team scored 6. The Dragons led at halftime 21 to 20.

The MCC Rebels and the HBC Patriots squared off in Slayton on Tuesday night in a Red Rock Conference Girls basketball showdown. Both teams were coming in off wins in their first conference games of the season. The Patriots scored 50 points in the second half in a win over Edgerton Public while the Rebels pulled away for a 12 point win over Adrian Ellsworth. The two teams are about as opposite as it gets. The Patriots are long and fast while the Rebels are stronger and more physical on the court. The Rebels are an older team with 3 seniors starting and another 3 coming in off the bench while the Patriots were led in scoring by a junior and an 8th grader. It would be an interesting game that in the end would be decided by the little things.

The Murray County Central Rebel boys opened their season this past Friday night in Sleepy Eye. The Rebels have been part of the Tip Off Classic for years and it has allowed them to get a good look at where they were to open the season. Friday night the Rebels opened with the Knights of Sleepy Eye St Marys. The Rebels got to the gym later than they had hoped due to the weather and had a shorter time than normal to warm up. It wasn’t the perfect way to open a season but the Rebels would battle through and would compete with a very good team unfortunately in a losing effort.
