Week 5 - Rebels vs M&Ms

Melt in your mouth, not in your hand?  Ha!  Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Red and the hated trash-talker Brown.  These are the players that the Rebels must overpower in order to... oh, its the M&M Timberjacks!  That makes a lot more sense.

The Rebels and Timberjacks split the victories in last year's matchups.  The Tjacks were victorious in Howards Grove in week 3 (27-14) and the Rebels took the field in week 7 (30-20) in Peshtigo.  Whenever the Rebels and Timberjacks step onto the same field it automatically becomes the year's most physical game.  There will be big hits, apocalyptic blocks and Brad Dobson.

Just because Brad Dobson is the fair haired pride of Elkart Lake doesn't mean that he isn't a big giant beast.  He is known for his speed and ankle breaking moves in the open field but he is also a phenomenal passer.  He is averaging nearly 17.5 yards per completion on the year so far and has thrown 4 TDs and only 1 interception. 

Dobson's boyhood friend and biggest weapon is the human joystick, Tyler Hau.  T Hau is usually good for at least 1 touchdown a game (3 if you include the plays that are called back for penalties) and he is also the league's best return man.  Hau gave the Timberjacks nightmares (and I hear several bed wettings) last year in the Wildcat and the Rebels hope to continue the trend into this season.

Another weapon for Dobson is the impressive Calvin Thomas.  He wears #1 and its for a reason.  If a cheetah was fast, they'd call it a Calvin.  He is looking for another a big game this week and if I know anything about him, he will deliver.

Come out and support your Rebels for the most physical game of the season.  With a victory, the Rebels will take complete control of the league.

Rebels Rush to 3-0

The Rebels had a cause against the Bulldogs Saturday night.  The Rebels were ready for a switchblade knife fight type of game but instead won handily 42-0.  If the teams were playing chicken by a seaside cliff it was the Bulldogs who blinked.  Enough with the 'Rebel Without a Cause' references!

The Rebel offensive line was looking for a breakout game and they got just that.  The Rebel backfield combined for 243 yards and 3 TDs on the ground.  Paul Widder lead the Rebels in rushing with 123 yards and a score on 8 carries.  8 carries.  8 carries.  Skyler Ebbers added 51 yards on 6 carries.  When asked how he thought the game went, Chris Cox hulked out and smashed a truck in excitement.

The Rebel defense recorded their second goose egg of the season.  The dark side continues to terrify opposing quarterbacks.  They are relentless, they are unstoppable and I am glad I don't play against them.  The Rebels have outscored their opponents 112-14 so far this season.

The Rebels have their Bye Week this weekend and will return to action on the 27th to face the hated M&M Timberjacks.

Week 3 - Rumble in the Dells - Rebels vs Bulldogs

The 2-0 Rebels will take on the newest addition to the WSFL in the Tri-City Bulldogs (0-1) this Saturday at 6:00pm.  It will be like an old man taking on a newborn baby... no.  It'll be like a grown man fighting against a dog... that's dumb too.  It'll be like a grizzled veteran in a standoff with a wide eyed young gun at high noon in the wild west... I give up.

Speaking of grizzled veterans, the Rebel offensive line, lead by Jeff "Depends" DeBlaey, is looking for a break out game this week.  On most teams, the offensive line is a group of the most disgusting looking group of guys on the team.  It is the exact opposite for the Rebels.  This group of men is quite pleasing to the eye; almost to the level of Tyler Hau or Jamil Moore. 

First, there is Tyler Courtright, the perfect right tackle.  He is one of the most aggressive linemen in the league.  Ask anyone who gets blocked until the whistle every single play of the game.  Next, at right guard is the real life version of the Hulk, Chris Cox.  When this Offensive Captain gets his hands on you, you might as well just go to the ground on your own to make things easier for you.  The other Captain on offense is the iron pectoral god himself, Jeff DeBlaey.  As the center he is the natural leader of the offensive line.  He also serves as a peace maker between the left and right sides of the oline when they have their flexing competitions.  At left guard there is Drew "I don't care if you outweigh me by a billion pounds I will still work you over" TenPas.  He never met a guy that he didn't think he could roll.  He is also probably the best conditioned guy on the oline with all of his half marathon running.  At left tackle is Mike Kruis.  Nobody cares about or likes him because he went to Cedar Grove- Belgium High School.  Newbie Kyle Heim is capable of playing anywhere on the offensive line when he isn't busy ripping the sleeves off of his shirts.  Adam Gilson (another rookie) fills in at both tackle positions when either Tyler or Mike need a break.

The Rebel rushing attack has averaged 4.5 yards per carry so far this season and the oline is looking to increase it.  They will get after the Bulldogs this Saturday at 6:00pm.  Come witness!

Dark Side boosts Rebels to 2-0

The Sheboygan County Rebels avenged last season's playoff loss to the Washington County Untouchables with a victory Sunday afternoon.  They (well, I) say that you gotta look good to play good and with the new uniforms, the Rebels did both.

The Rebels jumped out to a 18-0 lead by the end of the first quarter thanks to lights out defensive play by the dark side of the ball.  Brad Dobson linked up with the best tight end in the league, Marcus Ninneman, with a beautiful touch pass over the top of the defense for the first score.  Jamil Moore had the biggest play with a pick six though.  As he took the rock to the house, everyone could sense a little Bon Jovi (Jamil's favorite band) in the air; or maybe it was coming from the vocal chords of Mr. Moore.

To their credit, the Untouchables managed to claw back into the game thanks to several big plays.  At halftime, the score read 18-14 in the Rebels' favor.  David Benton gave an emotional halftime speech to the team and the Rebels refocused and rededicated themselves to finishing the game strong.

In the second half, it was all Rebels.  Jarred Querio (Mr. Q) played lights out registering 3 1/2 sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.  The defense didn't allow a single point.  The Rebel's Dark Side had 6 takeaways over the course of the game.  A touchdown and field goal were added by the Rebel offense thanks to good field position.  In the end, the scoreboard read 28-14.  The Rebels faced adversity and overcame it to defeat one of last season's top teams.

Week 2 - Rebels vs "The U"

Unfathomable anger gripped the Rebels on October 31st of last year.  Extreme controversy surrounded the playoff loss to the Washington County Untouchables.  In the end, the scoreboard read 35-36.  The Untouchables won.  "The U" seemed to play the part of the Joker to the Rebels' Batman last season, defeating them in both match-ups.  Just like Batman, a dark side exists inside the Rebels.  The Rebels' dark side is the most terrifying group of men in the league.  Manbeast, Mr. Q, Fettuccine, The Human Missile, Halo and (the most terrifying of them all) Rick Hartman all dwell here; the Rebel defense.

After achieving a week 1 shutout against the Titans (only giving up 115 yards of offense), the defense will be back to attack the Untouchables.  Al Capone proved in the 1920s that nobody is untouchable.  Defensive Captains Josh Bardon and John Wagner aim to reaffirm this truth along with the rest of the Rebel dark side.

The solidified and jacked up Rebel offense will be ready to show the "Touchables" that they can still throw up a lot of points against their defense.  As always, the Rebel special teams will be ready to put on a show.  Come out and show your support for the Sheboygan County Rebels in their Bad Blood match-up against the Washington County Untouchables on Sunday, August 7th at 1:00pm.
