Byrnes set to take on Florida, Ohio teams
Published January 31, 2006
Byrnes' football team will have two games nationally broadcast this fall, coach Bobby Bentley said.
The team is set to host a game on Aug. 26 against Glades Central High School of Belle Glade, Fla. That game will be on ESPN.
The Rebels will then travel to Ohio on Sept. 16 to play Moeller High School in the Kirk Herbstreit Ohio vs. USA Challenge. That game will be part of a two-day, six-game event played at the University of Cincinnati's Nippert Stadium. Bentley said Herbstreit and his group will fly the Rebels to Ohio and pay for their lodging.
"It's tremendous for our district to be able to do something like this," Bentley said. "If you're a young athlete in District 5, it's extraordinary to be a part of something like this." Bentley has taken his team to Louisiana and Tennessee for games during the Rebels' recent run of success.
