The Skinny
Head Coach Scott Peavy is in his second season as the head coach for the Haralson County Rebels. Coach Peavey previously had a three-year stint at Haralson from 2002-2004. The Rebels play in an extremely competitive region with the likes of defending state champion Calhoun, and the up and coming Adairsville and Sonoraville programs.
Coach Peavey said one of the biggest challenges for the Rebels this season will be the numbers. With lower total players, the Rebels will rely on many kids to play both ways.
On offense, running back Treylon Sheppard returns for his senior season. Sheppard is a speedy, shifty running back that has shown the ability to break away from defenders. He is also effective in the passing game and is a dangerous kick returner.
Defensively, Phillip Haldeman will be called upon to lead the Rebels secondary. Haldeman had three interceptions last season and several pass break-ups. He is a sure tackler and will also play some receiver for the Rebels.
While Sheppard and Haldeman highlight the returning skill players. Both DJ Coffman and Beau Chaffin will anchor the offensive and defensive lines for the Rebels.
While all of the games are important to the Rebels, the Lakeview-Fort Oglethorpe game is one they have circled on the schedule.
We asked coach Peavey how success will be defined by his team this season.
He simply responded, “(a) playoff appearance.”
