Your right it wasn't "Lucky", the defense did make a play like... they did all night. The play calling in my opinion, and others (just read the previous posts) was great. Cant argue with 8-1 and shot at district championship. Keep it up offense!!! Still need to get better. Hahaha I think some people are mad bc they were wrong all year. Its ok to admit it... everyone makes mistakes, but question is will they learn from it.

Again, some people need to go reread my post. Its like I said at the beginning of the year this rebels team will be more successful if they are "able" to pass the ball. When I read my post I never saw the phrase "the passing game won the game for the Rebels". I specifically put that quote on there because it would shed light on the fact that they had trouble running the ball early, so they started passing and had success, except for the INT (they got lucky and got the ball right back), that ultimately opened up the run for them later in the second half. It is good to see that people are starting to buy in to this concept. Go REBELS!!!!

"We were able to pass the ball, and that loosened them up a lot," Ford said. "They were blowing us off the ball, but we started running to the weak side, making the first defender miss and running hard. The offensive line blocked well." Quote from Tennessean. Sounds like the things we mentioned before in order for this team to be successful. Being balanced... they were well balanced on offense and it ended up opening up the running game later in the game when it mattered most. The offensive line being more consistent in pass and run blocking. Defense contained the running attack and passing as well for that matter. Coach Webb had them ready and made great adjustments, but why did Indy get away from the dive. Great game Rebels!!

Great game REBELS!!!! Defense was great all game. I dont think the Rebels got lucky at all. Up 14 to 0 at halftime give the Ravenwood coaches or coming out and adjusting at halftime and scoring on their first drive. Hats off to the Rebels for adjusting after the that first half. I dont think anyone in the stands expected Ravenwood to lie up and play smash mouth and take them by surprise. If it wasnt for the big pass play I dont know if the Raptors could have kept that up all the way down the field for the score. Offense was definately slowed without Keylo and Ford in the first quarter but Ford ended up playing the rest of the game. Hats off to the Rebels offense, nuff said! ANOTHER BIG WEEK REBELS!!! Take care of business!!!

Anytime a back is that hot running the ball you need to give it to him. Alex Ford took the first play to the house for a huge run. Yes, there was bad weather, also the Rebels got up EARLY (not yelling just trying to emphasize that point), and the two's were in the middle of third as well. Which all could contribute to more of the running game, and the big reason... it was working so well. So, I think they did a great job of killing the clock and capping on big plays. Special teams finally got a monkey off their back with a punt return for a touchdown. The D did an outstanding job containing there special skill guys. Again, I agree with you they had 8 sometimes 9 in the box and the Rebs ran all over em, very impressive. In my defence, this is the real first game Alex Ford has run like that, like he did last year and when he is like that he needs the ball and they gave it to him. I AM SOOOOO GLAD TO SEE IT!!! they also had a touchdown by air on screen pass to Ford, very nice play. Great game Rebs. BIG DISTRICT GAME THIS WEEK!!! Ravenwood needs this one bad, dont slack off.

Great game REBELS!!! It looks like we are getting better on every side of the ball. Big test with Ravenwood next they hammered Antioch last night. AlwaysARebel I couldnt agree with you more.

Big game for the Rebels this week!!! Fern Creek sounds like they are pretty talented at some spots. Rebels will have to play a great game again limiting penalties, turnovers, and big plays from Fern Creek offense. Looking for more improvement from our boys from last week. Big game REBS!!!! Go get 'em!!!!!!!

Ok... you are right. I am not trying to yell, I promise. I am just trying to get my point across. From now on... duly noted on the caps. I am not the QB's daddy either. But since I took such a hard stance against the Wilco Trifecta against the passing game, I feel I still need to back it and my comments (especially after the new improvement). If you go back and read my post I never said that the passing game was "great" but better and also I never said that the TD throw was the "toughest throw in football", but a very difficult throw to complete. I clearly state that and you put words in my mouth each time in your post. I am excited that the QB is making tough throws now especially after the first games not so hot performances. All I want is the team to succeed and I just think they are better when they are balanced especially after last year. fbforme... I apologize. Go Rebels

Yes, I did not know what happened to Keylo immediately. I APOLOGIZE FOR PUTTING EVERYONE IN SUSPENSE. That was not very smart on my part! Yes, Keylo has a deep bruise from what I heard as well. Hopefully, he is not out for very long. fbforme... All I know is the passing game looked a lot better THAN WHAT IT HAS BEEN! Plain and simple. This was the best game they have had so far. So, why keep on with the negativity. I think real Rebel fans should be excited that the passing game is taking positive steps instead of negative because it will only help them in the long run. Like I said, ALL THE PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE MIGHT BE PAYING OFF. Which should be great for the later half of the season. The passing touchdown that happened before the half was HUGE. I remeber it A because it was huge for the team and it was over the LB'ers and between the safeties which is one of the hardest throws in football. Give them a break! The QB only threw a pick which to me looked like a bad coaching call that put the QB in a bad situation. The big thing was that the QB bounced back off an INT. Offense looked a lot better no doubt. Like I said we have to wait until next Friday to see if the offense holds true. Any way, all the way around a much better performance by the boys in maroon!!! On to Lousiville!!

Great game Rebels!!!! Limited the penalties, run game was sound and all that previous game experience is starting to payoff for the passing game (as I stated before). Yeah sooooooooooo dumb pfffffff. Defense looking better as well, a well called game from the defensive side of the ball. Hillsboro is down this year which is amazing because I saw a lot of speed and talent on that team. The Rebels could be really good on offense if they can keep the secondary back with the passing game (Hillsboro was backed off, not like BGA, Christian, or Ooltewah with one of the best Dlines in the state), which will only open up the running game and make it easier for the oline and backs. Still have to see if they can do it two weeks in a row though. Prayers to friends and family of Keylo Lee. Lost a great player for the Rebels on offense and defense. He will be missed. He has been a great player for three years. 2-0 in the district Rebs!!! Keep it going!!!

GOOD LUCK REBELS!!!!!! Hope the offense can give a good showing and that the whole team limits the penalties. Let get to 2-0 in the district.

Hey Grasshopper... by the way they were ranked #2 not #3. Cant even get something that simple straight. This is my official ending with the Wilcos. Yall can talk all you want but it will never never ever prompt me to respond to you guys anymore. Wilcobest's arguments have no basis behind them and he/she manipulates and fabricates false quotes to his/her advantage. Which make debating an annoying headache. I am sure the rest of the members of Franklin post will appreciate this fued coming to end as it has takin its toll on the post and myself as well.

Wilcobest... oh sorry GRASSHOPPER. please and I MEAN PLEEEAAASSEE!!!!! show me by posting my previous statement were I "contradict" myself. Which you dont even state what was contradicted in your first paragraph. Please post it again. I dont know where it is. ARGUMENT #1 HAHAHAHA all I can do is laugh. You can never quite get your arguments straight, and also, cant back your own attacks on me so you have to MAKE UP new ones out of thin air. Again, I was justifying the increase in passing attempts because they needed to get more reps to a less experienced player in live action against the weaker teams on their schedule. Since the phase of the game they are worst at IS the passing game. NOW... I NEVER and I mean NEVER SAID that a run-block is the same as a pass-block. (If I did prove me show me with my direct post and I will correct myself and announce you were right, but I doubt you will) YOU MADE THAT ONE UP. I said it is a rep and requires the same amount of work as any other ... which is very normal. Never did I say a run-block is a pass-block. Someone needs to go reread my post. ARGUMENT #2 ROFL HAHAHAHAHA this one is even better. "They got hurt in the passing game" which I did say. MEANT, now look at this Grasshopper, the DEFENSE got hurt in the passing game. You were so eager to strike back you ASSUMED that I was talking about OUR passing game. WOW! WOW! You know what happens when you ASSUME dont you? It makes you look like an A... which you should be use to by now. Grasshopper I cant tell you which one is false and which one is true because you DONT MAKE ANY SINCE. Ooltewah was a tough team and Franklin did not play well. They lost. Please, think before you type.

Very very very disappointing game. They missed on field goals and they got hurt in the passing game. Limiting stupid penalities and special teams are going to have to get better for this team to consistently win. Plan and simple. Lets dont forget this is a good Ooltewah team either.

I have to agree with Longhorns. The Rebels do need to get their passing game going to lighten up that pressure. Kuivenen will continue to get better with the coaching that he is getting. I too am worried about the defense' date=' especially if they have a good running game as Longhorn says they do. I've seen too many games where our defense justs plain gets run over (Oakland ) Go get em' Rebels. I'll be there as long as traffic doesn't stop me from getting there [/quote] Have a safe trip and we will have a burger or dog waiting on you. I hope the late afternoon storms we have been having this week pass us by tonight. Looking forward to another barn burner game and pray for no injuries to either side. Go Owls I LOVE IT!!! This is what high school football is all about! Sportsmanship and a great enviroment, cant wait to see yalls stadium and school. This should be a great game and everyone will get there moneys worth tonight. Thanks Owls... I WANT ONE OF THOSE BURGERS hahahaha. No injuries as well. Thanks Owls. Go Rebs!!!!!!!!
