A NEW CROP OF TALENT fcontinuedJ Making his way through Mounty defenders is senior Mark Hutson, as he tries to help the Rebs make a comeback. Up above everyone is Joe Bob Wise fabovej as he aims for the basket against Northside. Traveling fast downcourt is Randy Lloyd frightj as the scoreboard shows the Rebs about to finish the game victoriously, winning 54 to 52. 118 REBS STRIKE BACK Fayetteville, ranked second in the state AP prep poll, was the next hurdle of the Rebels. The Southsiders just slipped by the Bulldogs, 48-47, in Fort Smith. That win brought South- sider's record to 13-10. Springdale showed no mercy on the Rebels as they whipped Southside 77-68, at Springdale, in AAAA-West play. Wise racked up 42 points, while Guy Smith had 21 for the Bulldogs. Three other Springdale players picked up 15 each. The Rebels took a short break from confer- ence battles to avenge an earlier loss to cross- town rival Northside. This time Southside edged the Bears 54-52 in a game that went down to the wire. Wise was again the games high scorer with 35 points. Southside split the final two league contests as the season closed. Fayetteville battered the Rebs 60-47. But the Rebels came back from that loss to end the season on a happy note, beating Rogers 55-53. That final win left the Rebels with an over- all mark of 15-12. They completed the AAAA- West round robin with a 4-7 record. But the Rebels did not earn a coveted spot in the AAAA state meet under the new qualification setup. Southside's junior varsity squad, composed of sophomores and juniors, finished the season with an overall mark of 7-10. This year's Johnny Rebs will form the nucleus of next seasons Rebel roster. No starters will be returning next season. ,Ns
