Rebels have seven home games
The West Monroe Rebels would like nothing better than to get back to the Louisiana Superdome this upcoming season.
The Rebels have missed out on the trip to the Dome the past two seasons after winning the state 5A championship in 2005.
Fans can get a preview of the upcoming season when the Rebels participate in Bayou Jamb 4. The Rebels will play the same opponent they did last season when they take on the Neville Tigers in the final jamboree game of the night.
This season should be no different than many of the others.
The Rebels should have a good nucleus of players returning, including D. J. Banks at quarterback. Banks didn't start a lot last season, but what he did contribute was significant. He got to see a lot of playing time as a running back.
The main thing for the Rebels this season will be the favorable home schedule. In a brilliant maneuver, Rebel coach Don Shows has somehow managed to get all the Shreveport teams on the schedule to come to Rebel Stadium.
"Huntington, Ruston and Ouachita will all be improved," Shows said.
The possibility of Ouachita Parish going to a four-day work week would be beneficial for the football team.
"We could practice earlier on Monday," Shows said. "We could do lots of different things with it."
Shows, who begins his 19th season at the Rebels helm, is, of course, hoping the winning streak will continue.
In the day and time when gas prices are soaring out of sight and transportation on shaky ground, this is nothing short of a major coup.
The Rebels, who normally play a team home and home, were originally scheduled to go to Huntington and Southwood this season.
Now all of the 5-1A schools from Shreveport are coming to West Monroe.
So this means the Rebels will have seven home games this season.
The Rebels open the season to travel to Thibodaux for a return match there, then the only other road game is a trip to Ouachita Sept. 26. The District 1-5A season begins on not only the home opener but the second game of the season as well.
