Coach James Nichols quickly discusses present game situation and tries to come up with winning combination during time-out. Players anxiously await the results of the tip as Waters C503 and his Milton opponent strain themselves to the limit in hope of emerging victorious. Individual Efforts Shine Through Unsuccessful Year With great hopes for a good season, first year varsity head Coach James Nichols and his Rebels suffered many upsets but managed to save a 4-17 record. The Rebs chances for a winning season seemed excellent because the team consisted of seven seniors and one junior. However, they were unable to get untracked and play to their full potential. As the year progressed, postponed and for- 152 feited games added to their frustration. The brightest spot for the Rebels was the aggressiveness of Mark Leatherwood as he captured highest scoring honors for Escambia. Although only one letterman will be retuming next year, Coach Nichols is optimistic. He feels much has been learned this year and hopes to put this knowledge to work for a suc- cessful 73-74 season.
