A New onop or TALENT REBS REBUIID Several questions remained unanswered as the 1978 Rebel cagers took the court in late No- vember. Only two returnees from last yearls squad were left to build around and Head Coach Ronnie Bateman had to look to a new crop of talent to find the remainder of his lineup. Bateman had a pair of 6'3', players to form the nucleus ofthe starting five. All-State and All- Conference teamer Joe Bob Wise, who also re- ceived Southwest Times Record Player of the Year, was destined to be the Rebs' offensive weapon. Big postman Mark Alexander was back to control the boards and provide versatility on both offense and defense. But the rest of the team had little or no varsity experience. Bateman and his staff settled on 6,3U Mark Hutson to help underneath and a backcourt tandem of 5l11 Randy Cates and 5,9 Randy Lloyd. The Southside squad got more than they bargained for from Siloam Springs in the season tip-off. Foul trouble plagued both teams and Wise retired early with five and only ten points. After the smoke cleared, the Panthers owned a narrow 62-61 triple overtime win. Steve Hath- cock came off the bench to lead the Rebs with 17 points. Alexander added 11. Southside's bench strength was cut during the opener as both Mike Mann and Galen Hunter suffered ankle injuries that sidelined them for long periods. 112 X ' . ,.,t , In the home game against Subiaco, sophomore Brian Dickinson fleftj shoots up for two. A while later, Kenny Johnson U22 and Randy Lloyd take the ball down to add to the Rebells 89 to 42 victory. I
