Ok Rebel Fans.....Here we are coming up on one of the most exciting weekends in Rebel Football that EVERYONE has dreamed about.
First of all, Take time out to CONGRATULATE a Rebel on all the accomplishments they have taken on and won.I cannot think of one specific, single item to say..."This is what did it...this is what lit the fire.." ..there were sooo many.
If there was any advice we could give our team, I think Coach Clayton said it well.. "MAINTAIN THE FOCUS "If we can start with that, we will be the WINNING team this Saturday..There is NO BETTER COMPLETE team than this years Rebel team...Yes I said it, and will argue that many times over.
MANY times this season we have heard....Our Defense is young, and undersized, We dont have as much depth, We have folded in the BIG game...Brentwood this, Independence that, Ravenwood this...Well guess where they are?
I read an article in a local publication...Our players were quoted as " There are no single hero's on our team, we all do our job, we RELY on each other.." As a coach or a parent or a fan, how could you not want a team with that mentality? There we go..ANOTHER area to be proud of for this team. Congratulations again, for possessing the maturity of a Champion.
Ok lets add it up...what are the keys to a championship win on Saturday?
1) Maintain the Focus
2) BELIEVE in yourself
3) BELIEVE in your teammates
4) BELIEVE in your Coaches
5) BELIEVE that on every single play, you will win that battle one play at a time.
You will maintain that block, you will wrap up on that tackle, you will stay on your assignment, you will cover your man, you will run harder for that extra yard, you will KNOW where that First down is, you will see the ball into your hands and catch it no matter the circumstance,you will hold on and protect that ball,you will be alert and know the snap count,you will continue until you hear that whistle,you will play your game....you will PLAY YOUR GAME.
6)BELIEVE that you will give 110% to reach your goal.
and finally BELIEVE..
.....At the end of that game, whether you hoist the Gold ball or the Silver ball...We as parents and fans and a great county and community...will be there to back you and CELEBRATE a Great Season and a team full of Winners on the field and off. For if it came down to Teamwork, Leadership, Maturity and work ethic..You would have already won without playing the game.
Congratulations 2008 Rebels..Seize the OPPORTUNITY...you deserve it!
GO REBELS!!

U ask the question......
"MANY times this season we have heard....Our Defense is young, and undersized, We dont have as much depth, We have folded in the BIG game...Brentwood this, Independence that, Ravenwood this...Well guess where they are?"
Well I won't speak for Independence or Ravenwood, but I will speak for Brentwood. They are the Region 6-5A Champions.
What is Franklin? O as you said below... Guess where they are "Independence" can you help with that? They are just where Franklin is...Sorry to say coming in 2nd place mean's nothing in the history books as you said yourself about IHS "where are they?".
Your blog was great till you started slamming the other schools in the area. Everyone played hard and did their best. Next time don't slam the other school. You might not have to eat crow now that FHS has lost just like Brentwood, Ravenwood, Independence and several other...
You know, I didnt realize Franklins blog was being read by other schools.
Although I post to try and fire up our boys, you are 100% correct.
I do believe that we have the BEST region but many times my emotions run away with me....
Go Rebs!
