The Rebels, who still hold the top spot in the KingCo league with a 10-1 league record, fell behind early in the game, with a 38-20 deficit going into the half. Despite a surge during third quarter, it wasn’t enough to propel the team into the lead. The team had a season high of 23 turnovers.

Junior captain Kate Cryderman had 16 points during the game, while Bre Carter had eight points and Tayler Lloyd had seven.

Last Wednesday, Jan. 19 the Rebels beat cross town rival Lake Washington 49-42.

The two teams were neck and neck throughout the game, until the fourth quarter when Juanita pulled away from Lake Washington with a 17 point quarter, while holding the Kangs to just nine points.

Mikayla Jones had 11 points for the Rebels, while Bre Carter and junior captain Kate Cryderman had 11 points each. Molly Grager added nine and Destry Seiler put in four. For the Kangs Hunter Hopkins had 19 points, while Whitney Dunlap added eight points during the loss.

Friday, Jan. 21, Juanita beat Liberty in a home game 58-41.

Carter had the team high during the win over the Patriots with a 16 point game, while Cryderman had 13 points. Jones added 10 points, Grager posted eight, Jessica Latousek had five, Taylor Paddock put in four and Seiler added two.

The 14-2 Rebels will host Mercer Island Friday, Jan. 28 and will face Sammamish and Interlake in the last week of regular season games.
