The Rebels will be looking for their third-consecutive Class 6A state championship this year.
Veteran coach George Quarles returns six starters on defense and five on offense and expects wide receiver to be an especially strong position. Six-foot, 180-pound junior
Shawn Prevo amassed 1,500 yards last year as a running back/wide receiver and runs 40 yards in 4.6 seconds. Junior
Cody Carroll (5-9, 150) is the fastest wide receiver with a 4.5 clocking. Quarles also is pleased to have basketball player
T.J. Kimble out as a senior.
Alcoa (Tenn.) again could prove to be the Rebels' toughest test. They began their classic rivalry series in 1926.
