i wanted to say a lot about this game but i'll just say congrats Rebels and good game Bobcats

i still don't see how that was a touch back the ball never crossed the line only the player's legs

It seemed from my point of view, and I was pretty high up, that the momentum as our player slid caused the ball to break the plain.  It was close and I could be wrong, but I think it was the right call.

Way to go Rebs heck of a game, keep it up. Good fought battle bobcats good luck to you guys the rest of the way. I knew it could go either way and it was going to be a tight one. Congrats kiddos now lets rest and buckle up for Burkeville on their turf.

Great game by the HD defense again. 

[Rebel Fan]

Good job Rebels  ;D

[prepballfan]

Evadale is playing some really good football right now good luck on the rest of your season. Ps my son plays for the rebels 7th grade team.

From a stats point of view this one was much closer than it should have been. I do not want to take a thing away from HD, but I know that the Rebels had twice as much offense as HD had. Total offense for the game was Rebels 195 to the Bobcats 104. Note 47 yards of HD's offense came on the 47 yard TD pass in the second quarter. 

Time of possesion had to be 3 to 1 in the Rebels favor and again in the first half the Rebels had 7 first downs to only 2 for HD For the game First downs was Rebels 14 and HD 4. The HD touchdown was a great pass over the Rebel corner when he bit on the run fake. Gilmore was Hd's leading rusher with 36 yards, but 20 of that total came in the first quarter so 16 more yards for the rest of the game. The Rebel defense allowed only 24 yards of rushing and three rushers from HD had negative yards for the game.

The Rebels wore HD down and being on the field for so long on defense had to take it out of the Bobcats, not to mention the only HD offensive play of the third quarter was a pas picked off by the Rebels that went for a TD. The Rebels won the turnover battle as HD lost an Int, a fumble and an onsides kick. It was a HARD fought game. But this was a big victory for the Rebels.

The Rebels are now one of only three remaining undefeated teams in SETX. PNG, Newton and Evadale are all that remain with a clean loss column. 

Great job Rebels, keep it going!

i was told it was a tough week in practice for HULL a lot of sike between these two teams.

I hope the Rebs get there minds on the Mustangs now. the way they played high island

their going to be ready for us on their turf.

[whambulance]

Game was simular to last years where the Rebs controled the ball and held HD to just under 100yds total offense.  I see the Rebs winning out the rest of the way and hopefully we can stay healthy.  Hopefully we can open up the playbook a little more with some sucess over these next few games. 

[johnnyreb]

Maybe im the only one that thinks Evadale just couldnt get it going last night. The Rebs are much better than they have been playing the past two weeks. Come on guys get it going

[Lol :)]

The rebels probly played there worst game but it was physical and the leaders steped up and showed them bobcats that they are not ready to be dethroned

[DVILLE-GORILLA]

I was a the game supporting my Evadale buds and this being a huge game, couldnt pass up the invitation.  The Rebels looked very flat compaired to the season opener against Deweyville.  Seemed like they are getting one dimensional.  They won, so what can you say?  I just feel that if they are going to have success in the playoffs they will have to get the running game going(other than the QB) and at least pass a little to keep the defenses honest.  If I'm not wrong, they completed one pass and that was by the halfback.  Only one attempt by the QB.  Seems like they have no intention of passing.

Best of luck to Evadale from here on out and i wish em luck.

[trophyman]

PLEASE guys on the offence we have to pass block by the time playoffs get here if we don't have a passing game we're sunk

HD calls timeout. Evadale WR came on field from sidelines and never went to the huddle. No call by refs.

yes he did go to huddle, film shows it clearly

HD calls timeout. Evadale WR came on field from sidelines and never went to the huddle. No call by refs.

I was told by one of the chain gang that the ref told the HD coach that they called a time out and that there could be no flag if there was no play.

[trophyman]

they didn't go to a huddle it was right after the time out and no one huddled

after the time out

[trophyman]

i dont think the other coach would have even noticed if our coach hadn't been jumping up and down to get billys attention

[grad88]

Where you at 55?

[traywick10]

Where you at 55?

ur the one that should be silent right now cuzz yall all thought evadale was gonna blow us out and they had the ball way more than us and only scored once on offense just like HD to tell u the truth we beat ourselves with all the mental mistakes

[HDcats0422]

Sorry traywick, ya'll got beat by evadale sounds like it was a good game, but either way a win is a win! Don't come on here saying how ya'll beat ya'lls self because obviously they had something to do with it holding ya'll to 100 yards of offense. No excuses! You shouldn't be on here talking about last night's game instead start thinking about what ya'll can do better individually and as a team so ya'll don't "beat ya'lls self" next week.

[H-D BOBCAT 55]

Congrats to Evadale, yall have a good team. Tough scrappy game just like I said it would be. Evadale was finally tested this year by a good H-D team, and they passed the test. Looks like back to back District titles for the Rebs. Also it was good to meet yall Big Mo and 83, yall share the same passion I have for my team. H-D keep working hard and remember yall can still make the playoffs. Bobcats we have tons of young talent coming up for the next 5 or 6 years. Kids like the 8th grade QB "Spot" they call him. Next year kids like Garrett Hickman and Micheal Tanner will move up to play with Tyler Drake and Chris Taylor two freshman already on Varsity. So Bobcats don't worry the District Championships will be coming back to H-D soon. I am glad Gilmore and Issac Humphrey will be back next year. Is Andrew Persley coming back? Andrew is a good player that works hard. Also the Hill kid is a tough smart player and a good cornerback. Go Bobcats !!

[evadalerebel4life]

this was a very tight game all the way . jusrt as everyone knew it would. good luck hd on the rest of your season......

[TunnelKing]

i dont think the other coach would have even noticed if our coach hadn't been jumping up and down to get billys attention

you are right,,, the huddle was on the sideline during the timeout.. they came straight out of group huddle and went to the field... no infraction

[eaba26]

Andrew Pursley isn't going anywhere.  But what we need is more players who take the game serious in the off season and not just play on their ability.  Too many players dont get any better from year to year.  Thats a lack of discipline .  The boys played very hard and nobody is going to score many points on the HD defense.  We just have to score some ourselves.  The team is getting better and will be ready come playoff time.

[strike king]

Evadale has been very lucky so far Billy Nichols is going to get krushed by someones

defence and put him out if the offence don't start blocking in pass situations a one dimensional

team wont survive in the early playoffs
