Rebalumni

Does anyone have an update on Reeder and Ellis ?

McNairy didn't fair much better against McKenzie. The Rebels pretty much dominated them. So both McNairy and Liberty knows what it feels like to have it handed to them by a 1A school. The Rebels aren't playing around this year.

I would say Mckenzie has a good chance of going far into the post season. But to go all the way and win State...some changes will have to be made. In the scrimmage yesterday against McNairy County , the Rebels showed signs of improvement in alot of areas. They had the upper hand most of the time and outscored them 4 to 2. The defense stepped up, even though they were missing some key players (Reeder, Ellis). The linebackers need to read the quarterback better. There were some short yardage plays that could have been snuffed if they had picked up the ball quicker, but they really did well overall. I really liked seeing the running backs hit the line full speed. I can't really see any area of improvement for them except just keep it up and keep pounding and give it that second effort after your hit, for It sure makes a difference in yardage gained. Carr looked good and is a very good quarterback except...... he still has tunnel vision. You can tell who he is going to throw to the minute the ball is snapped. He never takes his eyes off them. Good secondary will kill you on that mistake. I seen alot of open recievers yesterday that would have been good yardage but he tried to force it into areas that were covered. He will have to get out of that if he is going to play at the next level. It might cost a game or two if not careful. but overall, McKenzie looked like a team that is beginning to come together. Good Luck Rebels !!

I don't know about Smith. He coached for alot of years and never won a championship. One year we had the team to win it all and we didn't make it because he didn't want to put in the work to get there. I know, I played for him. We need new blood in the mix. I repsect Larry Joe but I would not put him at the head of this team we have coming back. We need an aggressive coach. Someone with no premade opinions. I wish Maddox would take it one more season. But anyway I would like to see the new coach as someone who will put 100% into winning it all. Oh yeah Butchie, hasn't your son decided to play with Bethel ? I think it's time for you to move on to one of their posts. No disrespect intended.

Don't know yet, but we need a good one to go with a good team.

I really think it is a possibility.

Mckenzie will be a serious contender this year.

No doubt about it. McKenzie can play ball when they want to. I was impressed by the players who seemed to give their all (you know who you are) and the Coaching Staff. Everyone looked to be aggressive for the most part. It will take a TEAM effort of aggression and most importantly, Heart and Desire to get back to Murfreesboro. I think I seen some last night. One more thing. Go ahead and get this home field advantage Rebels. Be careful with your pitching though, (Coach). Don't use it all up on the Mustangs.
