Senior David Plunkett powers his way under the basket in the Alma game, December 20. Although its season started roughly, the varsity boys basket- ball team turned in another good year. ln the Rebels' first three games, they went 1-2, but they were playing without the services of seniors David Plunkett and Bobby Martin, and junior Richard Shewmaker, who were still playing football in the AAAA state playoffs. After those first three games, the Rebs went wild, as they won 13 of their next 15 games. Three of those wins came in the Coca-Cola Christmas Classic, as the Rebs took their first ever Classic first place trophy home, with a heart- stopping 30-29 win over cross-town rival Northside, in the finals. Southside's Marty Hamilton was named to the All-Tournament, as well as Kenny Irwin, who was chosen MVP. Up for Grabs Rebels Battle for Conference Title ix tip f 1 g 4 4
