Pgge 6 April 26, 2007 Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon Great season for Runnin* Rebels B y Dave M cM echan Spilyay Tymoo The Runnin’ Rebels youth basketball squad finished their season with a near perfect record of 24-1. Most recently the team trav eled to the Red Mountain War riors youth hoops tourney in M cD erm ott, Nev., and took first place. A big part of the Runnin’ Rebels’ success is that the nine players have stayed together for some time as a team, said coach Vernon Squiemphen. The players, he said, haven’t switched teams during the sea son and off-season, so they’ve had a chance to play together and develop as a team. As with other youth basket ball teams, family plays a big part in bringing success and victory to the team. Family members help with the fundraising — burrito and Indian taco sales — needed to travel to the tournaments and purchase the uniforms. Squiemphen began coaching the Runnin’ Rebels last year. At the time, his grandson Lennox Picard was playing basketball at the Community Center on a regular basis.
