Kayla Stenzel scored 16 points Friday, while Val Sahr scored 12 points as the United South Central Rebels girls basketball team defeated the Randolph Rockets 54-16 in Randolph.

The Rebels (16-6 overall, 12-1 Gopher conference) didn’t allow a single field goal in the first half as Randolph scored all six of their first half points on free throws.

USC went into half with a 35-6 lead.

The Rebels also had a season low 10 turnovers, while they forced Randolph into 30 turnovers.
