The Stark County Rebels are starting to hit their stride at the right time. The boys hosted Princeville Tuesday, Jan. 26th. The Rebels won 48-37. Calvin Lewis led the way for the Rebels with 16 points, while Dillon Kelly also added in 10. The Rebels shot very well from the free throw line making 13 out of 14 attempts.
The real test for the Rebels came Friday night as they traveled to Aledo to take on Mercer County. The LTC tournament is this week for the boys, and Stark County received the 2 seed while Mercer County received the 1 seed, despite both teams being undefeated.
This game could be a possible preview of the championship game in the tournament, and let’s hope it is, because Stark County won 64-59.

The Stark County Rebels hosted West Central on Friday, January 22. This was the second conference game for the Rebels, and they won easily 57-29. It was an amazing environment for the game as it was B-strong night, encouraging everyone to wear their yellow B-strong shirt in honor of Mr. Glenn Buchert, high school advisor who is recovering from a stroke. West Central was extremely undersized, forcing them to play a zone defense. This opened up the 3-point shot for the Rebels, and Bryce Paxson was capitalizing on his opportunities hitting four 3-pointers. Paxson ended with 14 points.
The big guys in the post also had their way with West Central. Calvin Lewis had 13 points and Dillon Kelly had 8 points, both looked unstoppable at times. Tanner Ewing also added 8 points.

The “undercard” is usually the event before the main event in sports. It is usually less exciting and is more of an experience builder than anything. But Monday night in Princeville it was the junior varsity teams on the undercard that provided the only entertainment.There, the freshman and sophomore Lady Rebels battled the Lady Princes and held off a late surge by Princeville in the waning minutes to take a 42-38 victory.
A large crowd then gathered for the varsity game with Stark County’s representation almost double that of Princeville.
