Sometimes calls just don’t go your way…
… and then there are the times that they don’t go your way AND are so far out of whack that you just stare in disbelief….
Association Cup – All the other stuff!
Focusing on all the other stuff beyond the last 90 seconds that we have already handled privately…. Saturday morning dawned cold and foggy and I was wondering if I should have brought more layers. Guess what I should have brought was more goals! We opened with Ukiah, again! After getting blindsided by their new player [...]
What a bizzarre weekend…
The coaches came into the Redding December Classic with high hopes of a 1st place finish. Boy were those dashed fairly quickly! Whether it is fatigue on the boys part with a fair number playing school basketball, the end of the season dull drums or just one of those days, we just didn’t look like [...]

December 10th Player of the Week
Been a while since we had a Player of the Week since we haven’t had any games! And in a weekend of less than stellar performances, at least on Saturday, by the Rebels, we were in danger of not even having a PotW for the tournament. Then Sunday dawned and we were the team we [...]

Truth….
Saw this the other day and it kinda struck a chord… “Success is not measured in terms of your own ego. Success is measured in terms of working together as one. That’s the only way you can reach the top. If you become selfish, you’ll never reach the top.” – Ronnie Lott

November 19th Player of the Week
Not having a practice last week delayed this announcement, but that should not take anything away from this week’s winner of the Player of the Week! This week’s winner is our first two-time winner (I believe). His consistent high level of play and refusal to back down from ANY challenge while maintaining a great “can-do” [...]
A tough loss to a BIG team brings the CCSL season to a close
Man, those boys were huge! There must be a minimum height requirement in the Eureka Club! Hard to believe that 12 year olds can be WELL over six feet tall! Oh well, isn’t like we haven’t been the shortest team on the field before. The Rebels took on Eureka Stealth yesterday in a very important game. [...]
November 12th Player of the Week
“You know I just never have a concern on a break away when ________ is back there.” – Coach Brian during one of this weekend’s games. And with that statement the discussion on this week’s Player of the Week began. This player has been on a continual up curve with the Rebels since late last [...]
