CHAMPLIN PARK'S HOME OPENER

CHAMPLIN PARK OPENS 2009-10 SEASON AT HOME AGAINST MOUNDSVIEW HS.

Pella and CPHS Rebels are jacked up and wide eyed to get started. With heavy preseason pressure to produce, the Rebels are up for the challenge. With a busy week ahead they will be tested early on . Tonight they take on the Moundsview Mustangs at 7pm. There's a storm a brewing across the state and travel might be difficult. Head out early.

On Friday Dec 11th, the Rebels face 2nd ranked Minnetonka HS with highly recruited shooters like Cole Stefan, Tor Anderson and explosive wing Leonard Glass who was a team mate of Pella's over the summer with 43 HOOPS.

Saturday Dec 12th the water gets deeper with the Rebels taking on Cretin-Derham-Hall. Ranked higher than the Rebels, CDH has 3 big men including Elliot Owusu and Clay Horne, not to mention Seantrel Henderson. Champlin will have their hands full with strong guard play also. Pella also played with Owusu and Horne on 43 HOOPS.

Even though the stakes are high, Pella is ready to go. "I've been waiting since last March to get busy! We were very disappointed to lose the game against Cooper and we won't stop at anything." The team looked good over the past 2 weekends as they participated in scrimmages at Monticello and at BSM where they took on #1 rated Hopkins. Champlin looked strong and did not show any signs of intimidation! They are physically and mentally ready to get it on! Champlin is scheduled to play Hopkins on Jan 9th 2010 at the Target Center.

Watch this week for game results!
