Dropping their first two games of the year, the Rebs lost to Fayetteville on December 1 and Little Rock Central Decem- ber 4. Two victories in a row hiked the Southerners record to 2-2 as they defeated Mulberry 62-56, December 8, and Van Buren 57-39, December 11, in two home games. Senior Reece Jaber took scoring honors in both contests with 13 and 12 point outputs respectively. After a December 15 loss to Russellville the Southside five captured two wins-over Van Buren 47-33, December 17, and Charleston 62-46, December 2. lVlax Roberts, a junior guard, led all scorers in both wins with 15 and 16 points respectively. Defeats to Northside January 5, and three conference foes, Hot Springs, Parkview, .and Little Rock Catholic brought the Confederates losing streak to four before the squad took its first conference win from Texarkana 60-56. Leading scorers for the Rebs in the January 22 win was Jaber with 14 points. Victory in the Southsiders' final game in the first half of the schedule brought the Rebs mid- season record up to 5-7. Even at this point, the young team was showing signs that experience was the needed ingredient which would create a winning combina- tion for the Rebs. Basketball 71
