The first quarter was all highlights for the Rebels. Crestview would score within two minutes of the game with a 48 yard run by Ethan Powell. Later on defense, they would block Campbell’s punt and turn that into a safety. The second drive, the Rebels would have Powell once again pound one in from the 8-yard line to bring it to 16-0. Towards the end of the first Rebel’s kicker, Brandon Yanssens would kick a field goal to put them up 19-0 to end the first quarter. The second quarter would go to the Red Devils as they won the quarter 13-7. As deep touchdown pass by quarterback Christian Stores to wide receiver Christian James that would give the Red Devils momentum. Later throughout the quarter, Crestview’s Brandon Yanssens would punch one in from the one-yard line to put the Rebels up 26-7. The Devils would answer back as wide receiver Malachi Bannarn would jump to the sky to reel in a touchdown pass from Stores. To bring the game and ending the half at 26-13.

The second half was not high flying as the 1st. At the start of the 3rd quarter would cut through the Red Devil’s defense running for a 60-yard touchdown. A couple drives later, Cusick would throw his second pick of the game as Campbell’s Malachi Bannarn would pick it off in the red zone. After the 3rd would end, Crestview’s Roclen Bettura scores a 21-yard rushing touchdown to put the Rebels up and win the game 40-13.

RAMBO: FIRST BLOCK

Crestview senior Sidney Rambo’s main job is to stop other team’s attackers from getting the ball across the net, and Sidney is good at her job. Rambo has become a wall at the net with her blocking ability. With blocks this strong it takes away other team’s ability to be aggressive. Rambo leads the team with 39 total blocks, including 11 solo blocks. Don’t think that you can sleep on her offense either, with 78 kills on the season Rambo is a consistent threat. 

Anthony Hartwig sat down with Sidney to talk about her senior season, her future goals, and much more. Learn all about the next Rebel Volleyball Player Profile Rambo First Block.

KEEP ON COPING

Webster’s Dictionary defines cope as a protective course or cap. Crestview volleyball senior Cassie Cope is just that for her team. One of three captains voted on by the team Cassie is the energy that keeps them up. Cope joins eight seniors on the Rebel squad trying to reach an ultimate goal of a district championship. The Rebels will definitely need Cassie’s energy to navigate some of the tough times a season will bring. 

Anthony Hartwig caught up with Cassie to talk about her senior season, how she keeps the energy up, and much more. Get ready Rebel volleyball fans, a new player profile is coming at you. Keep on Coping.
