1st Annual "Jess Gonzalez" Bowl Games

Our final game of the season was against the West Covina Bruin (Brown) Team. It was a nice end to a great season. After falling behind in the 1st quarter 0 -6. The Rebels turned up the heat on defense, shutting out the Bruins the rest of the game. The offense scored on long runs by #13 Brandon, then by #9 Angel giving us what looked to be a 12 - 6 victory.....but you know our team had to go out in style. What turned out to be the last play of the game and season, was another long touchdown run by #13 Brandon making the final score 18 - 6.

The Rebels final record for the 2007 season is 7 wins, 1 loss, & 1 tie

Game 8 - 2nd Half: vs Boyle Heights

The first play of the 2nd half, the Rebels scored on a 40-yard run by #13 Brandon. In the 3rd quarter, the Rebels scored on another touchdown run from #9 Angel, who also had 2 interception. A late game highlight play that was called back because of another block in the back penalty was made by #8 Jesse...who took the handoff and ran down the right side, then back to the left side of the field, then cutting back toward the right side, finally running across back to the left side for the TD...even though it didn't count, it was a terrific effort! The final score of the game was 18 - 0.

Game 8 - 1st Half Review: vs Boyle Heights

The Rebels had another great day of football. The Defense was shutting down everything the Boyle Heights tried. On the first play of the game for our offense, #13 Brandon ran fo a 25-yard gain down the right sidelines. On our second play, #9 Angel ran it in for a TD. The Rebels and another touchdown called back because of an illegal block in the back penalty. The Rebels also got stopped on the 2-yard line on a 4th down and goal. What could have been a big half time lead was only 6 - 0.
