After losing only one match, to Drewy Mason during the 1968-69 season, the Rebel golf team finally lost at state. This year holds more promise for a better team, with the addition of Jimmy Anthony and the new coach, Mr. Swails. These additions, along with last year’s team, which consisted of: Bernard Mabe, Steven Nelson, Ralph Nelson, and Larry Nelson should make this a winning year for the Hardin Reynolds Golf Team. 1968 -69 Golf Team Goes To State For Second Year 89
