After Tallassee jumped out to a big lead in its AHSAA Class 1A-5A Region 2 Duals match against Reeltown, Jake Debardelaben grabbed one of the most important victories of the night. Debardelaben pinned Reeltown’s Gabriel Bryant at 170 pounds to clinch the match for the Tigers, securing a spot…
Despite taking a big step up in competition level by moving from Class 2A to Class 3A Region 4, Reeltown’s football team wasn’t looking to take it easy by any means.
Reeltown makes incredible run to title game
Tallassee’s football season didn’t end exactly the way the Tigers wanted it to as they missed out on the postseason. But they still had several standout athletes and a pair of those were named to the Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State teams, which were released Sunday.
Although Reeltown senior Eric Shaw has been committed to South Carolina for several months now, it became official last week as he signed his National Letter of Intent alongside classmate Cameron Faison, who will continue his football career at Dodge City (Kansas) Community College.
In a game of runs and momentum swings, Reeltown’s girls basketball team came up just short.
Defense was the name of the game for Reeltown’s boys basketball team in its host tournament consolation game Friday afternoon.
The 2019 Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State high school football teams, honorable mentions and coaches of the year.
Tallassee and Reeltown will renew its rivalry when they open the season on Thursday, Aug. 20 against each other to begin the 2020 season. It will be the first meeting between the two teams since 2003.
In just a few short months, Eric Shaw will be getting ready for his first season at a Division I football program.
While a large part of the greater metropolitan Reeltown community had thoughts of battered hedges and shiny blue trophies potentially hoisted high above, a few were focused on matters of the mat in a Thursday night tilt in Eclectic.
The focus around Reeltown for the last several weeks has been the football team’s run to the state championship. Despite that, though, there are still more sports to be played and the basketball show must go on.
It was clear Reeltown’s football team was a bit shell-shocked to start the AHSAA Class 2A Football Championship on Friday afternoon. The Rebels made uncharacteristic mistakes and spotted Fyffe 20 points within the first few minutes of the game.
“Hurt.”

Less than five minutes into Friday’s AHSAA 2A Football Championship, Reeltown had more turnovers than offensive yards and Fyffe had already jumped out to a 20-0 lead. The Rebels never recovered as Fyffe’s defense locked down the rest of the day and rolled to a 56-7 victory to grab its second…

It is the final week of the high school football season so that means it's time for Caleb and Lizi to preview Championship Week.
This is what Reeltown’s football team has been working toward all season, and the Rebels plan to lay it all on the line Friday afternoon as they face Fyffe for the AHSAA Class 2A championship.
Caleb and Lizi are back with more football talk as they quickly recap Reeltown's quarterfinal win before diving into the semifinals (10:51).
If there’s one thing Reeltown must do Friday night in the AHSAA Class 2A semifinals, it’s stop Leroy’s Kelston Fikes.
Last week it was hard to pinpoint which play was the most important for Reeltown in its second-round playoff victory. This week, it’s nearly impossible to pick just one player who stood out for the Rebels as they downed G.W. Long, 41-22, in the AHSAA Class 2A football quarterfinals.
The postseason talk rolls on as Caleb and Lizi quickly recap the second round (1:55) before diving into Friday night's quarterfinal between Reeltown and G.W. Long (11:53).
At this point, everyone is good. Everyone is really good. A team doesn’t make it to the quarterfinals of the AHSAA playoffs by being anything other than a solid football team.
In such a tight football game — a playoff one at that — it’s hard to pinpoint just one moment that made the difference.
It's time for the second round of the football playoffs so Caleb and Lizi preview each local game including Wetumpka's rematch with Spanish Fort (14:56) and Reeltown's long trip to J.U. Blacksher (23:12).
What seems most notable about J.U. Blacksher is the sheer number of points it puts up. The Bulldogs are averaging more than 36 points per game and have scored at least 38 in seven of their 11 games thus far.
With basketball season officially starting this week, Caleb and Lizi put together a special episode to discuss some of the expectations for the hardwood.
Pure domination.
Caleb and Lizi open the show with a quick recap of the final week of the regular season (1:36) with their best moments of Week 10.

Had Reeltown won last week in its regular-season football finale, Rebel coach Matt Johnson likely would’ve wanted to carry that momentum straight into the playoffs.
In just its third season as a volleyball program, Reeltown had a great shot of advancing to the Class 2A South Super Regionals. The Rebels put together their best regular season to date and wrapped up the No. 2 seed in Class 2A Area 8.
For the first time this year, Reeltown coach Matt Johnson had to have a conversation with his team he hasn’t had since last season.
The fall sports calendar is starting to come to an end but not before Caleb and Lizi dive into the latest news from the football field to the volleyball court.
Of course every team wants to go undefeated in the regular season.

For a team that talks about not getting complacent, it certainly didn’t let that happen Friday night as the Reeltown Rebels beat the Vincent Yellow Jackets, 42-6, in a dominant defensive showing to complete its undefeated run in Class 2A Region 4.
With limited region games remaining, Caleb and Lizi dive into the local playoff picture (13:15) before shifting the focus to Week 8.
Despite Vincent boasting just two wins on the season, Reeltown’s football team can throw that record out. The Yellow Jackets seem to have found their stride, winning their last two in a row, and their new identity could pose problems for Reeltown, which is hunting down an undefeated record i…
When an undefeated team goes against a winless one it’s easy to predict the outcome. The Reeltown Rebels defeated the Central Coosa Cougars 58-0 Friday night in a class 2A Region 4 showdown by taking advantage of opportunities and playing like they were against a bigger opponent.
The playoff picture is becoming more clear each week as region play continues.
Any time a winless team travels to face an undefeated one, the outcome seems obvious.
