As usual Dixie stars Candace Baldwin and Nikki Howard led way scoring 50 percent of the Rebel points with generous of 18 and 16 points. Also helping Dixie and hurting Snow similtaneously were Dixie players Rachel Clines and Mandy Hutchins who did their damage down in the trenches. Clines had 9 points and Hutchins collected 7 while both rebounded and defended extremely well under the basket. Candace (Baldwin) did a great job pushing the ball, Dixie coach Dave LaVetter said. And our big kids (Clines and Hutchins) did a very good job." Even with the dreaded fourth quarter run of Snow, the Rebels still had their chances to turn their frowns upsidedown.
