How Mid-Carolina football went from being a surprise team to state title contender

The sounds of Bon Jovi’s “Blaze of Glory” and songs from AC/DC blared from speakers Monday on the Mid-Carolina practice field. That field, tucked behind the school located in Newberry County a few miles off Interstate 26, was filled with Mid-Carolina football players and coaches getting ready for their playoff opener. The Rebels have been one of the surprise stories in the Midlands and the entire state this season. Mid-Carolina completed a 10-0 regular season and won its first outright region title since 1991 after beating rival Newberry two weeks ago. Prior to this season, M-C hadn’t had a winning season since 2014 or won 10 games in a season since 2010. Mid-Carolina had a bye last week and is the No. 1 seed in the Class 2A Upper State bracket. The Rebels will host Mountain View Prep, the third-year public charter school out of Spartanburg, in the second round of the playoffs on Friday. The Rebels are looking for their first playoff win in 16 years. “It really has been a perfect storm,” M-C coach Jody Haltiwanger said. “We’ve got a good group of seniors, great assistant coaches. It all just came together. “I knew we had some experience.
