In the Crosby-Ironton Invitational, the Fond Du Lac Ojibwe Ogichida and the Moose Lake-Willow River Rebels would get matched up. In the high scoring affair, the MLWR Rebels ran away with the 103-94 victory over the Ogichida.

The Rebels got off to a quick start in the first half, grabbing the 11 point lead, 50-39. The Ogichida would try to battle back, outscoring the Rebels 55-53 in the second half, but it wouldn’t be enough as the Rebels walked away with the 103-94 victory.

Leading the Rebels in the victory was Brad Fossum who scored 23 points. Ike Pederson tagged on 21, Matt Mach had a nice effort with 19, Charlie Adamczak pitched in 18 points, and Zach Shaumberg also hit double digits with 16 points. Erza Szczyrbak and Trenton Aution would round it out with 4 and 2 respectively.
