 2016 Preview 


       Thorsby completed the 2015 season with a 6-5 record. With their 4-2 region record and a third place finish in Class 2A region four, the Rebels earned a spot in the playoffs in 2015. Thorsby's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Providence Christian by a score of 17-6.

       The Rebels last playoff victory came during the 2003 season. They would love to break through this year with a post season win.

       Since 2010, Thorsby has gone a combined 25-38. Their 40.0% winning percentage ranks 36th in Class 2A over the past six seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Thorsby has not won much with a record of 77-178. Their 30.0% winning percentage ranks 51st in Class 2A and 346th in the AHSAA.

       The Rebels are led by head coach Billy Jackson who is entering his eighth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 27-46 over the past seven seasons at Thorsby. Under his direction the Rebels have qualified for the playoffs a total of three times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Jackson.

       Coach Jackson's overall record as a head football coach in seven season stands at 27-46 (37.0%).

       The Thorsby Rebels will play in Class 2A region four during the 2016 season. Thorsby will face six opponents that reached the playoffs last season.
