The Reeltown Rebels are back-to-back area champs.

In the two years since Matt Johnson took over the Rebel baseball program, the blue and white have won two consecutive area championships. The team hosted Ariton last season in the first round, and will host St. Luke’s Episcopal this season. While Reeltown couldn’t get past the eventual 2A state champs last year, the team will be looking to flip the script against the Wildcats this week. First pitch for the series starts at 4:30 p.m. Friday.
