MILLEN — Four years ago, a group of former high school and college players kept their football careers going by forming the East Georgia Rebels, a minor league squad. As a semi-pro squad, the recreation departments and schoolyard fields used for games are the norm, with very few perks other than continuing to play a game that they all love. That will all change Sunday afternoon as the Rebels travel to AT&T Stadium in Dallas – home of the NFL’s Cowboys – to participate in the championship game in their first season as a member of World Minor League Football.
