By John Stenen Here we are, celebrating Christmas once again. How shall we do it? Typically we have time off from work; we usually eat pretty good, and we spend lots of money that could have been better spent for necessary items, but, it’s all good, right?

On Tuesday, December 12th by played a strong HBC team who would come into the game undefeated and a 3-1 Canby Lancer team in a non-conference battle Friday. Hills came into the game averaging 76 points per game and they were giving up 59, sporting a well balanced attack from all areas of the court.

The Rebels would finish off their third game in a row at home Friday night vs. an aggressive Canby Lancer team. The Lancers came into the game with a 3-1 record, averaging 62 points per game and were giving up 52, for a plus 10-point differential.

The MCC Rebel Girls were in Tyler on Thursday to take on the RTR Knights in a Red Rock Conference matchup. The Rebels have played the Knights for years, so the game isn’t that big of a change, but what will be different is how fast the teams will play again this season later in the year now that RTR has joined the Red Rock Conference. In the first meeting of the season, the game would come down to a key run in the middle of the first half.
