A NEW CROP OF TALENT fcontinuedj But the Rebels were not to be denied. Subi- aco and Greenwood, two Class AAA schools, became the first victims of the Rebel steamrqller. Wise bounced back to true form as Southside trounced Subiaco 53-20 and Greenwood 76-49. Another close encounter came against Mc- Alester and the Rebels pulled off an 82-80 over- time victory behind Wise's 48 point output. In fact, it was Wise who tied the game and then hit all Southside points in the extra period. Tough Blytheville, a AAAA-East contender, abruptly halted the Rebs 76-64. Wise dumped in 31 points, including 18 in the final stanza. Winning ways returned in a re-match with the Subiaco Trojans 89-41. Wise rang up 28 while Cates and Frank Sharum came off the bench with 20 and 12 points, respectively. Southside upped its record to 5-2 by blasting Waldron 87-66 as the Christmas break rolled around. During that win Wise eclipsed the old school scoring record of 49 points. He hit 53 points before setting out much of the final period. With the Christmas break came the Fort Smith Classic, held at Southside. The Rebels picked up third place with two wins and a loss during the three-day event. Southside beat Van Buren in the first round but fell to Springdale in second round. They bounced back to beat Rus- sellville 47-40 in the consolation game.
