The Turner County Rebels put the state on notice in 2015 as they opened the year in unprecedented fashion. Finishing third in Region 2-A, the Rebels were able to string together six consecutive victories to open the season before eventually falling to eventual state-champion Clinch County in Week Seven.
The Rebels would then go on to win two of their final three regular season games; in fact, the only two losses that the team would suffer in the regular season would be to Clinch County and Irwin County, the two teams that would eventually meet in the GHSA Class A (Public) State Championship Game in Atlanta last December. The Rebels headed into the playoffs ready to compete for a title; however, their first round opponent, the Trion Bulldogs had other plans and Turner County would fall in a 40-6 rout.
The Rebels look to repeat their unforgettable 2015 run this fall as they open the 2016 season. After their season opener on the road against Dougherty, they will return to the Turner County faithful for a three-game home stand against Worth County, Crisp County, and Telfair County.
