FLOWER MOUND, Texas — The Flower Mound Rebels have been in the news as of late for winning, although it is because some think that their winning games is a bad thing. The Rebels are a youth football team consisting of kids from ages seven and eight. The team has been competing in the Keller Youth Association against many other youth football teams in the area. They have also been dominant in their seven games, with the team outscoring its opponents by nearly 200 points.

The Rebels have been found by the Keller Youth Association to be too good of a youth football team. Association vice president Rhett Taylor announced the team has been pulled from the association playoffs because the team is, as he says, “Too good.”

“They are a select-level team,” Taylor remarked. “They are too good for a rec-level team.”

The Flower Mound Rebels learned about their being kicked out of the playoffs before their final regular season game. The Rebels had a 7-0 record and outscored their opponents 199-6 in those games. The team won their latest match 12-0.

There are some suspicions that the team was pulled from the playoffs as an act of revenge.

Rebels coach Ragan Montero was upset that the Rebels were kicked out of the playoffs.

“Why would we enter our team into a league where we wouldn’t have a chance to compete in the playoffs?” she said. “Nobody would want to enter a league without the chance to compete in the playoffs.”

But the truth is that the Rebels aren’t necessarily a team that could be interpreted as “elite.” Only seventeen players signed up for the team and all of them were accepted. Ten of those players have not played football before this year.

The Flower Mound team hasn’t been in the Keller Youth Association for very long. The Rebels started playing two years ago. The team entered with the knowledge that if the club does well enough, it can compete for a playoff spot and potentially reach the championship.

The Association has argued that its youth football leagues are intended for recreational play only. Flower Mound was also reportedly asked to supply two teams to create a proper draft process for two separate sides with seven and eight-year-old kids. But the town didn’t have enough players to apply to safely fill out two team rosters with enough people.

The Rebels players are disappointed in how they have been left out of the playoffs.

“I feel like we deserve to play in the playoffs,” center Greyson Tanner said.
