Vestavia DL Josh Arendall (93) runs to celebrate play in the Hewitt-Trussville vs Vestavia game at Thomspon Reynolds Stadium on Sept. 6, 2024.
Friday marks 35 days until the Vestavia Hills High School football team kicks off the 2025 season.
Vestavia Hills defensive lineman Josh Arendall is one of the returning defensive leaders for the Rebels, and he will lead his unit onto the field Aug. 22 to take on Westside out of South Carolina.
Arendall will anchor the Rebels' defensive line at nose guard, and head coach Robert Evans says he is "strong as an ox."
