FS #9 Angel Hidalgo makes the sure tackle as DL #63 Christian Settecase looks to assist.

After a hard fought game, the teams shake hands at midfield.

It was a hot afternoon for football with temperatures reaching 106 degrees at kickoff. The Rebels played a sloppy brand of football today, could be the heat or could have been 1st game gitters, but a tough Covina Viking team made the plays in the end to secure a 25 - 12 victory.

The Rebel Defense gave up 2 long touchdowns on missed tackles. A third TD was scored on a batted ball that was intercepted and returned all the way. The Rebel offense was turned away on a 1st and Goal from inside the 5 late in the 2nd quarter.

The two Rebel TDs were scored by WR #81 Seth Cloud. the first, coming on a kickoff return of 65 yards, the second on a 50 yard beautiful leaping pass reception over a Covina defender.

I expect a better overall team performance as the Rebels travel to Temple City to take on the Rams.

They played to the level of their opponent instead of the normal brand of REBEL football. After hearing it from the coaches during halftime, the REBELS came out firing in the 2nd half scoring 6 TDs, while posting a shutout on defense.

The REBEL O-Line

Today the Rosemead Rebel Pee-Wee team opened up the pre-season with it's Annual Tri-City scrimmage. This year's teams included the Boyle Heights Wolfpack and the Pico Rivera Dons.

The REBELS played well and finished the scrimmage scoring 6 TDs (3 vs BH & 3 vs PR) and only allowing 1 score against our defense on a long run by Boyle Heights.

As always, there are things to work on and get better as a complete team, but it was a very nice showing for the 1st scrimmage of the season.
