Lady Rebels Dominate Jaguar Gymnasts

As they welcomed the squad from Jackson Memorial to town on Tuesday afternoon, the Howell gymnasts were looking to win their third meet in as many tries. 

By the time the day was done, the girls not only kept their record perfect but also had their most dominating performance of the young season with a 101.65-89.75 victory. 

The day also provided a chance for another member of the team to shine as Monet Masters won the all around scoring with a total of 34.95 points. That put her just ahead of Jackson's Celine Rabo who tallied 34.6 points on the day. 

Masters' best event was the vault where she had a score of 9.2, which was well ahead of Jackson's Carli Fargione who earned a score of 8.6 while fellow Lady Rebel Jessica Hoch was right behind her with an 8.5.

Winning the bars on Tuesday was Howell's Courtney Boyle who took the top spot with an 8.7 which bested Rabo's 8.45. The one event the visiting team did win was the beam where Rabo had her best score with an even 9.0. That score was only slightly better than Theresa Gagliano's 8.6 who beat Rebel teammate Masters' 8.5.

Rounding out the day was the floor exercises where the highest scores of the day were recorded. Masters won with a 9.05 giving her a razor thin advantage over fellow Lady Rebel Antoanette Bronisevsky who had a 9.0. The closest Jaguar was Rabo who received an 8.85 for her efforts.

The girls are scheduled to return to action tomorrow when they will take on Colts Neck in another early test of the still maturing squad.
