MCC vs. Edgerton Jan.

The MCC Rebel Girls were on the road Friday night in Hills taking on the Hills Beaver Creek Patriots. MCC was coming off a tough loss to Adrian Ellsworth on Tuesday night and was hoping to avenge a close loss to the Patriots earlier this season.

HBC loves to push the tempo and trap the basketball and for the Rebels that would mean a long night.

The MCC Rebel Girls were on the road Monday in Westbrook. The Rebels were blown out by the Chargers just ten days earlier in Slayton, when the Rebels scored just 13 points in the entire game. Monday night would be a different first half for the Rebels but unfortunately, the second half was very similar to the first matchup.
