The 1999 junior high girls basketball season came to an end on December 20. The girls ended their exciting season defeating their last three opponents. The seventh grade team came out solidly and worked hard on both ends of the floor. Defensive pressure and patient offense helped to reach the final score of 20-16 in their favor this time. Scoring for the Rebels were: Kim Hauer, 8; Jessica Host, 6; Megan Busch, 4; and Teresa Krause, 2.
