Rebel Experience Ach The 1968 edition of the South Lenoir Rebel football team was the best in the school's five year history. Led by its thirteen seniors, the team posted a 7-1-1 record. The season began with a stunning 19-O victory over Burgaw. Only a heartbreaking 14-6 loss to Wallace-Rose Hill pre- vented The Rebels from gaining a berth in the district playoffs. The fact that at one time the Rebels were ranked Number 1 in the East is a representation of the respect they earned for their football excellence. Several players received post season honors. Jimmy Smith, Larry Avery, Frankie Rackley, and Marty Smith were named to the All- Conference team. Larry was also named to the second team of the Class 2-A All-East squad.
