       The Rebels are led by head coach Matt Johnson who is entering his third season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 13-10 over the past two seasons at Reeltown. Under his direction the Rebels have qualified for the playoffs a total of two times. They have not won a region crown with Coach Johnson.
