Rebels finish M-P-B's year in Region 3 opener

It was enough of a chore for M-P-B to just get off uncontested shots in their 56-23 loss to the Edgeley-Kulm-Montpelier Rebels in the Region 3 opening round.

Following a semi-competitive first quarter, the Rebels blew the Thunder out of the water with a 22-2 run in the second quarter to win going away.

Allison Thomas led the Thunder (11-12 for the year) with seven points. No other player had more than three for M-P-B.

E-K-M (17-5) made use of the hot shooting hand of Kiara Jangula, as she scored 16 points, 12 of those on threes. Norah Entzi and Libby Mathern scored nine points each for the Rebels.
