Rebel Midnight Madness/Pads Tonight At Midnight!!

[Rebel Yeller]

Once again this year the Evadale Rebels will hit the field in full pads at 12:01 AM early Friday morning on Aug. 7th. As the first day the UIL allows players to be in full pads Mark Williams and the Evadale caoching staff will see how the team has progressed in knowledge and technics from the shorts and helmet workouts to the full contact variety.

This will be the fourth year that the Rebels will begin the full contact portion of pre school practices with the Midnight Madness event patterned after the events done at college basketball powerhouses to get their seasons started.

Midnight Madness is always well attended with well over 200 people coming out last year. It will be a great morning and a lot of fun. If you happen to be driving through Evadale late night on Thursday just look for the lights as Evadale's Rebels put on their own version of "Friday Early Morning Lights!"

Will they have turkey legs available?

You know, I don't know, but a local church will be giving free watermelon slices.

ive been in the Midnight Madness since we got it started and its almost as fun as homecoming. it makes even better when you look up at the stands and you see basically the whole town watching us just practice. i encourage anyone and everyone to try an make the trip to Rebel Stadium on the 7th to see Midnight Madness. Its a great way to kick off the season.

I think more schools should do that! It sounds like a really good way to start the season....I sure wish we would've done something like that for first day of full pads! Enjoy

What a neat idea! Does anyone else do it in this area?

[KFDM COOP]

Not that i know of. Vidor used to.

Hey Coop

Would you be sure to pass this along to the Sport Dept guys. It is fun to have the cameras out and the kids get interviewed about Midnight Madness

Thanks
