Rebel Loyalty

Maybe because it was a night game.  Maybe everyone was healthy.  Or they were excited or calm.  Whatever it was, we won.

We needed this win so badly.  Our team, our school, our spirit was dwindling.  The excitement in the stadium and the grove was palpable.  You could not escape it.

We had our mascot taken away from us a few years ago, but the biggest controversy surrounding that has been recently.  By season-end, we will know what our new mascot will be.  We will have a new identity that we may or may not want.  People are waiting with baited breath for this to solve itself.  We will still technically be the Rebels, even though our team and school will take on a new meaning.  All of this drama has caused us to stop being ourselves.  Somewhere in the anger and the removal of our traditions and pride, we stopped being Rebels.

We just needed a Rebel victory.





Part of being a Rebel is loyalty.

I wish I was in the land of cotton, good times there are not forgotten.
