The Rebels, picked to finish near the cellar in the pre-season polls, posted an early season triumph over the highly favored Morton Panthers and were then recognized as a much feared opponent to all Little Dixie teams.

Forest Hill's victorious Rebels are shown shortly after registering thier initial win of the season over the Morton Panthers 18-13. FOREST HILL 18 MORTON 13 Forest Hill's Rebels won their first game of the season as they upset the powerful Morton Panthers by a score of 18-13 on the strength of a last minute pass from Jerry Tidmore to Bill Hobson, who ran 25 yards for the touchdown. The Panthers drew first blood as the Panther's Jerry Magers raced 53 yards for the score to send Morton into an early 6-0 lead. Morton scored again in the second period when Richardson raced downfield for their second score, to run the Panthers' lead to 13-0. The Rebels then fought back however, and Tidmore went across from the five and the Rebs were back in the game at halftime by a 13-6 score. With Weeks intercepting a Panther aerial, Tidmore then carried across again to make the score 13-12. The Rebs had no intention of falling by a one-point margin as Tidmore un-leased his game-winning pass to Hobson with 44 seconds showing on the clock for the win. Jerome Massey, the Rebels' injured punter, is pictured talking to star quarterback, Jerry Tidmore, on the sideline.
