The Rebels and Dragons tipped off at 4:15 on Thursday evening.
(Article by Zack Godfrey)Pickens seemed a little sluggish throughout this game and it really showed when they shot the ball. After only scoring five points in the second quarter, courtesy of foul shots by Jacob Brumby and Chris McClure, one would figure that they would come out with a little more intensity in the second half. Fannin just showed that they were too much to handle for this Pickens squad, taking the game 43-12.
