 2018 Preview 


       Rehobeth finished the 2017 season with a disappointing 3-7 record. Last year Rehobeth just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 5A region two with a 2-4 region record.

       The Rebels last playoff victory came during the 2005 season. They would love to break through this year with a post season win.

       Rehobeth was inconsistent offensively last year and they need some improvement if the Rebels want to be competitive. They only averaged 15.2 points a game.

       Since 2010, the Rehobeth football program has struggled with a record of 19-62.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Rehobeth has managed to compile a record of 96-157. Their 38.0% winning percentage ranks 52nd in Class 5A and 298th in the AHSAA. Their last winning season was 2005.




       The Rebels will be under the direction of new head football coach Donny Gillian as they enter the 2018 season.

       The Rehobeth Rebels will play in Class 5A region two during the 2018 season. The Rebels have one of the toughest schedules in Class 5A. Their opponents had a combined record of 65-45 last season. That ranks 8th in Class 5A and 48th in the AHSAA.

       Region two will be one of the most competitive regions in any classification this season.

       The Rebels enter the 2018 season in the middle of a 6 game losing streak. They would like nothing better than to end the string of losses early in the season. It will be an uphill battle for the Rebels if they hope to grab one of the four playoff slots in region two this season.

      

       The Rebels open the 2018 season at home against non-region opponent Ashford on Friday, August 24 at W.F. Andrews Field. Last year the Ashford Yellow Jackets finished with an overall record of 1-9 and in sixth place in Class 4A region two. The Yellow Jackets closed out the regular season with a loss to Wicksburg by a score of 42-0.

       Rehobeth and Ashford have met a total of 76 times on the football field. The Rebels have a 31-43-2 record against the Yellow Jackets. They last met in 2017 with Rehobeth winning by a score of 17-0.
