Defense was the name of the game for Reeltown’s boys basketball team in its host tournament consolation game Friday afternoon.

After dropping their first game of the Reeltown Holiday Tournament on Thursday, the Rebels came out wanting to defend their home court and they did just that against Talladega County Central. They held the Tigers to only 35 points and did just enough offensively to eke out a 45-35 win.
