Rebel Yell Sports

West Monroe totally dominated Ruston in a game where Ruston

wanted worse than a state title. D.J. Banks connected with

Taylor Underwood for 2 td's and ran for over 100 yards

to lead the Rebels to a big win.

Eric Talton exploded for over 100 yards to help the Rebels

continue the streak over Ruston.

What can you say about the DeFense! They were all in Rome's

face all night. The only score Ruston had was on a safety and a

td pass from Rome to Davidson. Way to go Rebs!

Wow! Can I say what a game! West Monroe was down

19-0 at the half and came from behind to win a great

game. Ouachita's kicker Matt Little missed a 31 yard

field goal with 8.3 seconds left to seal the win for

the Rebels.

I had LaDarius with 180 yards

D.J. Banks had over 100 yards passing tonight and showed alot of

charcter with his injury.

Tyler Cain had 3 TD's on the night! 

I just want to say that we should appreciate our coaching staff

for whatever they done at halftime.

The DeFense completely shut down Ouachita the 2nd half.

This game reminded me of the old 2-5A and I hope this means that

all of the teams in our district has gained some ground.

 Great call of the game was the halfback pass by LaDaius Abrams to

Joel Barfield for 48 yards

This game was a defensive battle until the Rebels opened it up

in the 2nd half.

 The game was 0-0 at the half and the key

drive as always was the start of the 2nd half.

The Rebels held Byrd on the initial drive the 2nd half and

then when the Rebels had their chance, they took advantage.

The Rebels were faced with a 4th down play when D.J. Banks

connected with Josh Remedies inside the 5 yard line. Then

after an offsides penalty by Byrd, D.J. carried in in from the

2 yard line for the first score.

The Rebels held Byrd again and D.J. came alive again connecting

with Josh Remedies again for a 56 yard td.

This reminded me of the old 2-5A District. We were always in

a battle until the last minute in most of those games.

I love this type of game, it prepares you for a war and

during the regular season the last 2 years, we have not had this

type of test.
