It was a great year for sports in Tallapoosa County, with some teams making history while others are right on the verge. Either way, we can all collectively agree that this year in sports was magical.

You could venture out to say it was the year of the Rebels, who walked away with two state championships — one in football and one in fishing. Even looking towards the baseball team, who made it to the semifinals for the first time in school history, all the while the softball team is coming off an impressive showing at the AHSAA Class 2A Regional Tournament.
