Rebel football
The Vestavia Hills Rebels, coming off a disappointing 2014 season, start looking toward 2015 with a spring football game at Chelsea on Thursday.
Kickoff is 7 p.m. at Richard Conkle Stadium.
The Rebels went 3-7 and missed the Class 7A playoffs, but did manage to notch a record-setting win for coach Buddy Anderson, making him the all-time wins leader in Alabama high school ranks.
The host Hornets went 6-4 in 2014, narrowly missing the Class 6A playoffs.
