VOLUME 90, NO. 51
By David Gambino For the Enquirer
A Hartselle man remained in jail Dec. 14 after grand jury indictments led to his arrest on eight counts of second-degree sexual
abuse and two counts of seconddegree sodomy involving a juvenile between 12 and 16 years of age. Jay Warren Lawrence, 65, was arrested Sunday evening by the Morgan County Sheriff ’s Office and is being held in
Lawrence
Morgan County Jail in lieu of a $102,000 bond, according to jail records. Morgan County grand jury indictments for
Lawrence, signed Sept. 28, were filed in circuit court Monday. He’s scheduled for an arraignment on Jan. 8. Second-degree sexual abuse is generally a class A misdemeanor under state law, unless the offender is at least 15 years older
than the victim, in which case it becomes a class C felony. Second-degree sodomy, or “deviate sexual intercourse” with a person incapable of consent or between the ages of 12 and 16, is a class B felony punishable by up to 20 years imprisonment.
Hartselle’s Booth receives inaugural Lifetime Achievement Award
Hartselle baseball coach William Booth became the inaugural recipient of the Alabama Baseball Coaches Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Booth was awarded the honor Dec. 9 at the association’s annual banquet. Being the first recipient, the award will be renamed after Booth and will be given each year to those who meet the criteria set by Booth according to the association. Booth has been the head coach of Hartselle baseball for 36 years. He’s amassed 1,172 wins in that span with nine state championships. “Coach Booth has done more than accumulate wins,” said Hartselle’s Athletic Director Jake Miles. “He has spent countless hours investing in people. He is a difference-maker.” Hartselle High School Prin-
cipal Dr. Brad Cooper agrees. “Coach William Booth’s impact is remarkable. He has made a positive difference in his community and in the lives of the young men and women who have sat in his classroom. There is no one more deserving,” Cooper said. Former Hartselle City Schools Athletic Director Pat Smith adds that Booth “wrote the script for modernday high school baseball in the state of Alabama.” “Coach Booth’s state trophies fill a trophy case, but it’s the hearts he’s filled that resulted in this Lifetime Achievement Award,” Hartselle City Schools Superintendent Dr. Brian Clayton added. “Trophies collect dust, but the students and athletes who Coach Booth helped to grow have turned his influence into something that lives on in them and in those who they influence. That’s what a lifetime of achievement is all about.”

Photos by Jodi Hyde By Jacob Hatcher For the Enquirer A parade of Hartselle Police Department vehicles made its way to Walmart in Hartselle Dec. 15 for HPD’s fifth annual Shop With A Cop event. The event is an opportunity for children to go on a ride along with a police officer and purchase items for themselves and their loved ones. Police Chief Justin Barley said that he had wanted to do a Shop With A Cop event for years but the funding did not materialize until 2019 when Woodmenlife Insurance Company reached out offering to donate funds to the department for something special. “It was the week before Christmas break when we got a call from Woodmenlife saying they had some money to give away if we could figure out something to do with it and we knew it would be perfect for Shop With A Cop,” Barley said. Since its inception it has grown each year with continued support from Woodmenlife, as well as Hartselle Kiwanis Club,The Hartselle Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association, Fraternal Order of Police and private donations. The children who participate in the program are selected through the school system with help from counselors as well as nominations from Shining Stars. “We typically average 10-15 kids per year and honestly it’s one of our favorite days of the year,” Barley said. “The opportunities to interact with our community in a total positive way is tremendous because the nature of what we do limits our chances for something like that.” After completing their shopping the children are treated to Pizza Ed and have an after party where they can wrap gifts they purchased for loved ones.

Special to the Enquirer The Alabama State Department of Education held its first Artificial Intelligence Summit in Montgomery Nov. 28. Alabama school districts were represented by superintendents, principals, district technology directors, and board members who worked alongside ALSDE department directors to explore what is currently known about AI and its implications on public education. Hartselle City Schools’ Summit Representative and Crestline Elementary
ing major from Hartselle, was among approximately 680 Bob Jones University students named to the Fall 2023 President’s List. The President’s List recognizes students who earn a 3.75 or higher grade point average for the semester. Located in Greenville, South Carolina, Bob Jones University provides an outstanding regionally accredited
ordinance drafting, conflicts of interest, the state ethics law, duties of the mayor and council, tort liability, the competitive bid law, zoning and planning, annexation, municipal regulatory powers, municipal revenues and expenditures, personnel actions and leadership development. “Alabama’s municipalities are the foundation of our state’s economy,” ALM Executive Director Greg Cochran said. “Vibrant communities depend on knowledgeable and engaged
leadership, which is exactly what the CMO program encourages through training on the finer points of municipal government. Earning the Certified Municipal Official Emeritus designation further showcases the commitment of community leaders to be better informed, more effective municipal officials.” The Alabama League of Municipalities was organized in 1935 and has since served as the recognized voice of the cities and towns in Alabama. Through the years, the orga-
nization has steadily grown and now serves more than 450 municipalities. This voluntary membership program brings officials of cities and towns together in fellowship of public service – which strengthens and guides local government in a progressive, responsible fashion. The primary purpose of the League is to promote understanding of municipal government and administration in Alabama and thereby advance the welfare of the people of this state.
School Principal Karissa Lang said, “AI is here to stay, and we must work diligently to provide targeted professional development to our teachers, safe and informed access to our students, and discernment of information gleaned from AI to everyone.” The Summit was designed to empower legislators and then school districts to do just that. Representatives discussed in-depth the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of three areas: AI uses and the impacts on education of students and staff using
AI resources, AI regulatory and policy considerations for school districts, and the logistical administration of any such policies a school district might enact. The December and January follow-up sessions will continue with the goal of providing educationfocused guidance to Alabama legislators ahead of the spring legislative session. Hartselle City Schools’ Summit Representative and School Board Member Randy Sparkman added, “I applaud the ALSDE for working to address AI and its impact on education.
They clearly understand Artificial Intelligence is here and will have fundamental impacts on education. ALSDE is being intentional to manage its positives and its potential negatives to the advantage of students. I am honored to have a voice in the process.” In preparation for policy or procedural changes that AI will bring, Hartselle City Schools has begun a dialog within the district that will inform use and influence district policy as the board begins to think about how to address AI in the classroom and elsewhere in the district.

Opinion A
side from the glittering décor, the parties we attend, the food we eat and the gifts we give and receive on December 25, there is a much more important reason why we celebrate the Christmas season. Christmas is a holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ, according to Webster’s New World Dictionary. The meaning is made clear in the second chapter of Matthew, the gospel writer. He tells the story as follows: “And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
A
s the days wind down to Christmas some are still searching to find the perfect gift for a special person. In his heart-rending short story, The Gift of the Magi, O. Henry writes of a young married couple spending their first Christmas together. In their love and devotion, each searched for the perfect gift to express the depth of that love. It was Christmas Eve and the young couple had very limited funds. The wife had searched through the stores and settled upon a gold chain to compliment the treasured watch that had been passed to her husband from his grandfather. But it cost $20.00 and all she had was $1.87. The only thing of value she possessed was long flowing hair
I
t was a dark, cold night when our blue Hyundai hatchback sputtered to a stop somewhere between Corinth, Mississippi and home. We’d been visiting my great grandmother for Christmas and something I was too young to understand gave out on the highway. I’m not sure how long we rode in that tow truck, but it seemed like it was a cross country trip. We finally got home and went to the shop in our Impala to get our Christmas gifts. Upon arriving at the shop flames came pouring out of the Impalas exhaust.

Mission Statement
So all went to be registered, everyone in his own city. Joseph also went up, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, Clif Knight which is Staff Writer called Bethlehem, because Emeritus he was of the house and lineage of David. To be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
So it was. that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling cloths. And laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Now there were in the same country shepherds living in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And behold an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, Do not be afraid. I bring you good tidings of great joy, which will be to
all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you. You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger. And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying: ‘Glory to God in the highest, And on earth, peace, goodwill toward men.’” May the reason for the season shine brightly in your observance of the Christmas season in 2023.

He had seen a set of jeweled combs in a store window and could visualize how they would look in his wife’s beautiful hair. But their cost was far above any funds he had. In his unique style, O. Henry gives us an unexpected ending to the story. Each found a way to
give a gift of love beyond material things. Tearfully the wife sold her long tresses that she had treasured through the years and purchased the chain. The husband sold his family heirloom and purchased the combs. O. Henry concludes the story by indicating how the couple had given their most treasured possessions out of love and sacrifice. After reflecting upon what they had done, they lay aside the material gifts and reaffirmed their love for each other. They had given out of hearts of love. Now they gave themselves anew. O. Henry compares their giving to that of the wise Magi who followed the star of Jesus many miles and months after Jesus was born bringing costly gifts worthy of a king. When they found Jesus, their greatest gift was giving themselves
in worship. That was the best gift they could give for one who would give himself for them. A perfect gift must convey the love of the giver, even the giving of self. In this season of gift giving let us remember faith teaches us that God is a giving God. John reminds us that he so loved he gave. When he looked down upon his creation and the need he saw he gave the perfect gift. He gave a gift of himself even his only begotten son to become a sacrifice for our sins. Can we do less than the Magi? We must not forget the words of James; “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights.” (James 1:17)

Hartselle Enquirer One night, two cars down. The Hyundai was parked next to a cemetery and the Impala was obviously seconds away Jacob Hatcher from being Community a fiery death Columnist trap, so seven year old Jacob made Mama and my sister stand out in the cold while Daddy
and my brother walked the two miles home to get Daddy’s old Dodge Dart. Seeing that old white car rolling down the road I felt what I can only imagine the soldiers in war movies feel like when the tanks roll in just as the enemy is about to overtake them; it looked to me like a golden chariot speeding towards our salvation. My only other distinct memory of that car is the time Daddy picked us up for football practice and said, “Jacob, you ate yet?” And I said, as serious as a heart attack,, “Nope, I’m still four.” On the way to practice I was terri-
fied of a dead yellow jacket in the back window. A few years after that we sold that Dart, which made Mama happy because the only other time she ever liked that car was that cold, December night. There’s part of me that wishes we could have kept it and it would be sitting in a garage somewhere in pristine shape. The reality is, though, we’re not that kind of family. And besides, maybe it’s being gone is part of the lore. Maybe it’s being in our lives for such a short time as kids makes those two memories all the more special.

A tumultuous fall in the legislature gave way to the fear of no farm bill becoming a reality. While a new farm bill was not drafted or signed, Alabama residents can breathe a short sigh of relief. However, a continuing resolution was signed, extending agricultural and nutrition programs through Sept. 30, 2024. Continuing resolution Adam Rabinowitz, an Alabama Cooperative Extension System economist, said all permanent programs — including Title I crop programs, crop insurance and Supplemental Nutrition
Special to the Enquirer
This past week, Hartselle Junior High middle schoolers came together for a #GoodCharacters Expo to share powerful service projects with community members, mentors and peers. Having completed several weeks in the American Character Program, where they delved into the lives of transformative historical figures, the students faced the challenge of initiating change themselves. Sharing their experiences from dedicated booths, these students recounted how they formed groups, identified issues, collaborated with local mentors and took proactive measures. Beyond learning about civics and character through the program’s curriculum, they gained invaluable real-

ceremony marked the official start of the holiday season. Attendees enjoyed a variety of delicious refreshments, including hot cocoa and freshly baked cookies. As the night concluded, families strolled through the illuminated park, taking in the festive displays and embracing the sense of community. Falkville’s Christmas in the Park once again proved to be a cherished tradition, fostering community pride and spreading the warmth of the season to all who attended.
Assistance Program (SNAP) — will continue in their current form. He also said some other programs — like the Feral Swine Eradication program — needed additional allocations that were provided. “With the farm bill extension, Congress is providing Alabama citizens with certainty in agricultural policy for next year, including knowing what farm safety nets and nutrition policies will be in place,” Rabinowitz said. “The continuing resolution also provided additional funding for the feral swine pilot program that ran out of money Sept. 30. This is especially important to our row crop producers that need assistance combating this
threat to their crops.” What’s in a farm bill? Contrary to the bill’s name, most monies in a farm bill are not allocated to agricultural programs or research. Based on recent budget estimates, Rabinowitz, who is also an associate professor in the Auburn University College of Agriculture, said Americans could expect a nearly $1.5 trillion bill proposal in 2024. Approximately 85% of that figure would be designated for SNAP. According to data obtained from the United States Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service, one in seven Alabamians received SNAP assistance in May 2023. This is equivalent
to about 15% of Alabama’s population or 772,813 people. Farm Bill’s emphasis on Agriculture While the nutrition assistance programs will continue to be a priority for Alabama legislators, the impacts on agriculture will also be high on the list. Alabama has more than 44,000 farms, covering 8.9 million acres. Agriculture is a big industry in Alabama, with one out of every 4.6 jobs in the state relating to agriculture and forestry. While there are many farms, the average farm size is 211 acres. “There are a lot of areas that Alabama farmers are concerned about for the next farm bill, even after
the signing of the continuing resolution,” Rabinowitz said. “The way input costs have increased for crop production over the past few years has not been addressed by the current safety net programs. Labor issues are especially important for specialty crop producers, and new or beginning farmers continue to have challenges accessing land and capital.” Looking ahead While the continuing resolution expires in September 2024, agricultural producers will hope for plans to be in place prior to the expiration. Rabinowitz said the extension is a welcome sight for Alabama farmers, but the timeframe
surrounding the expiration will be critical with an election year on the horizon. “The big question now is when we can expect the next farm bill,” Rabinowitz said. “The longer the process lasts through 2024 and gets closer to the presidential election, the less likely we get a new farm bill next year. Our agricultural producers, especially, need assurance of what government policies will affect their operations.” More information For more information on the farm bill, visit www.aces.edu or contact Rabinowitz directly at anr0072@aces.edu with questions as he follows the farm bill process.

Christmas Eve in Eastern Kentucky. The snow lay heavy, somewhere around eight inches, on the hills of Eastern Kentucky, as the Alabama transplant family prepared for their mission. Preparation meant to fill the trunk of their car with rocks, enough to force traction as the family
would be traversing eight miles of treacherous roads on their way to play Santa to a set of twin girls, living in no more than a pitiful shack. Their single Mom did the best she could, trying to keep heat in that little house, clothes on their backs, food on the table

and hope in their hearts. The Dad of this Alabama family had taken a job driving a bus for the local board of education and those little girls were on his route. Assessing their situation and asking a few probing questions in conversations, he concluded there was little with which the mom had to reach the dreams and wishes of the children. He confided their wishes to his family and the mom shopped filling everything the girls were hoping for,
and bags of candy to boot! These now loaded into the car, they were on their way. A short time later, they neared the house. The darkness of that little shanty portrayed a sense of sadness as it stood in contrast to the layer of white that surrounded it. The family drove past and positioned their car a safe enough distance to avoid being noticed but close enough to see what would happen. Dad and the boys hoisted the sacks of gifts, carefully trekked

“Mortimer’s Christmas Manger” By Karma Wilson Illustrator: Jane Chapman Mortimer is a mouse that lives in a creepy, cramped, cold hole. He finds a new home set up on a tabletop. Mortimer scurries up the tree in order to reach the tall table that holds this home. Mortimer finds people statues and a bed that is full of hay and very cozy and feels just right. Mortimer
kicks the statues out and moves in. Every day Mortimer traces over the house looking for crumbs. And every evening when he returns, the statues are put back in place. One evening Mortimer hears a story of these people who had nowhere to go. He hears about a baby born and laying in a manger full of hay. Suddenly, Mortimer realizes that he took over that baby’s bed. Mortimer realizes how special the baby is. And so, Mortimer decides to find a new home and to give the cozy bed back to the baby.

across the snow, quietly mounted the steps, placing the gifts just a step away from the door. With a breath of anticipation, they knocked at the door and with the speed of gazelles they were back at the car, watching to see what would happen. In just a few minutes the single light that hung from the living room ceiling came on. The light shot through the now open door sharply contrasting with its shadow barely revealing the bags before
her. The family watched as the bags were slowly dragged into the house. The door shut and the family drove back to their home. The gifts the family exchanged the next morning seemed to pale in comparison to the gift they had received the night before. Neither of the Alabama Family members could tell you what they experienced on that Christmas day, but 35 years later, they still rehearse and relive the joy that they received that wonderful Christmas Eve.

Photos by Justin Powell Special to the Enquirer The 2023 Hartselle Christmas Parade last week saw a record number of entries and spectators alike. “The Hartselle Kiwanis Christmas Parade is growing every year and brings
out the best in our community,” said Marianthe Snyder, president of the Hartselle Kiwanis Club, which organizes the parade each year. “It’s our community supporting our youth through Hartselle Kiwanis while celebrating the best of
the holiday season. We are blessed.” Out of the many floats, three were judged to be the best, winning cash prizes from the club: First place: It’s Your Day; second place: Hartselle Utilities, with two floats in the
parade and third Place: Gobble Fite Lumber Company DiamondPro sponsored this year’s parade, and limited-edition parade t-shirts are still available through Hartselle Kiwanis and at Robin’s Nest on Main Street.
fi By Erica Smith For the Enquirer Holidays bring stress for
many, but a mental health expert said putting yourself first through the holidays can help, as can meditation, exercise and a proper diet.
Stacy Hagood, registered nurse and clinical supervisor at Decatur Morgan West, said when it comes to dealing with holiday stressors, the

key is to keep it simple. “You don’t have to be all things to all people,” she said. “You come first; be selfish. When it comes to your mental health, if you don’t want to do something because you know it’s going to affect you in a negative way, don’t do it. It’s OK. People will get over their feelings. Take care of yourself first so you don’t end up in a crisis.” Alicia Carpenter, 53, from Danville, said she suffers from holiday stress starting the week after Thanksgiving. “After Thanksgiving’s over, then I start to feel the pressure of everything I have to get done before Christmas,” she said. Hagood said there are many stress triggers during the holidays. Some of them are finances, extra stimuli from additional events to attend, loss of family members, not having a family, drugs and alcohol. Carpenter said one of her stress triggers during the holidays is worrying about money. “Thinking I don’t have enough to do everything I want to do,” she said. Hagood said the financial pressure of the holiday season is common. “Feeling like you have to buy for everyone,” she said. “Everything’s much more expensive now. If only everybody could just reconsider the whole system and instead of exchanging gifts with everybody or buying for everybody, pick names or just do white elephant or dirty Santa. Carpenter said she also worries about deadlines, time constraints and doing enough for each of her 10 grandchildren, eight of whom are school-aged. “For years and years, I went to make gingerbread houses in (my kids’) classrooms,” she said. “I’ve started to do it with the grands, and I was thinking, there’s no way I can do it with so many grands that are in school, so then I feel guilty. So, that’s another stress, the guilt; the grandmother guilt is almost as bad as the mom guilt.” Hagood said family gatherings can be stressful as well. “Families may not get along,” she said. “Even good families, it’s still stressful. Even if everybody gets along,
it’s still stressful.” SAD Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects many people this time of year, Hagood said, and can add to holiday stress. She said SAD’s symptoms are similar to depression. “No motivation, you don’t feel productive, don’t want to do anything, stay in the bed all day, sadness, the blues” Hagood said. “Basically, the same as depression, it is just apparent more in the winter months because it’s darker for the most part.” Carpenter said she suffers from SAD. “As soon as it starts to get dark earlier in the day it’s like I’m ready to go to bed at 6:30 p.m.; literally, I can barely hold my eyes open,” she said. “My body just starts switching off; it’s not my body, it’s my brain, I get that.” Hagood said SAD is in full swing now that it is getting dark earlier. “It’s easy when the sun goes down at 4 p.m., 4:30 p.m., you want to get in the bed and not do anything,” she said. Carpenter said she has suffered with SAD her entire adult life and it has some effect on her emotional state during the holidays. “It definitely adds to the stress because I think, how many hours of daylight can I get things done and feel good and be OK,” she said. Holiday stressors can be worse for people already suffering from SAD, Hagood said. “Having the mindset that you recognize that you do have seasonal affective disorder, you’ve got to fight harder,” she said. “There’s so much more to do, much more pressure. Some people get overwhelmed and go into freeze mode; they just want to stay in the bed and do nothing.” Hagood said medication can help people who suffer from SAD, but they can also purchase a light therapy lamp to help. They are used to boost energy and mood levels and treat conditions such as SAD. “If you can’t get that, just know that you really need to work hard at planning projects through the winter that’ll keep you busy,” Hagood said. Quiet time in the morning
and exercise throughout the day by walking trails are just two of the things Carpenter said she does to cope with the stressors of the holidays and her SAD. “I’m definitely a TV person, so if I get things done in a timely manner, I think I need a reward, I’ll definitely watch,” she said. “Give myself that reward and watch something, let me relax.” Carpenter said she finds that spending time with her grandchildren does not cause her stress during the holidays. “Just having my grandkids over, making popcorn, watching Christmas movies, baking with them,” she said. “All the fun Hallmark movie stuff.” Hagood said there are three important coping mechanisms that will help with the stress and anxiety of the holidays, and with SAD. She said to find time alone to meditate, exercise and diet. “Meditate, get time alone — 10, 15 minutes, two or three times a day — just quiet, try to just relax, deep breathing, put on some music,” Hagood said. “Sometimes, and especially during the holidays, you have to do it several times and hopefully people respect that. People you know, when you need your time and space, they respect that.” Hagood said exercise will help alleviate stress during the holidays. “Even if people don’t have means to go to the gym or have gym equipment at home, there’s always something you can do,” she said. “Everybody has a phone; you can click (an exercise routine) on YouTube. As long as you’re moving.” Watching your diet is important during the holidays, Hagood said. “It’s so important to eat healthy because if you eat junk, you’re going to feel like junk and that just makes everything worse,” she said. Hagood said you should not feel obligated to attend every holiday event. When shopping for the holidays, Hagood said, pick times that the stores are less crowded. She said to also stay away from stimulants like caffeine which can add to the stress.

those years ago — and now, once again, she will play a key part in the Danville volleyball program. Franklin has been named the new head coach of the Danville Hawks. It’s her first head coaching job. “I’m so excited,” Franklin said. “I’m a big Danville girl. I love this community and I’m thrilled to have this opportunity.” The hire was made official Tuesday night. “Coach Franklin checked all the boxes we were looking for in a new coach,” Danville High School Principal Brian Ellis said. “We were fortunate to be able to hire someone with her knowledge and skill. “Her being from Danville and her playing history is just an added benefit. I think
it will give her instant credibility with our student athletes.” Franklin has been an assistant coach for the Danville volleyball program for the past two seasons. She also spent time at Danville as an aide shortly after college. “Everybody always says you need to leave your hometown and find yourself,” Franklin said. “I did that. I went off to college, and what I learned is that Danville is where I belong.” When she was dominating on the court for the Hawks, Franklin admits now, she never thought she would find herself coaching that same team nearly 10 years later. “It’s actually a funny story. Everyone always said I would make a great teacher
and coach, and that kind of turned me off to it,” Franklin said. “I went to college with the plan of being a nurse, but when I got back I wanted to find a way to be involved in the community. I took an aide job at Danville and quickly realized this is what I wanted to do. “In hindsight I guess everyone knew what the future had in store for me.” The Danville job may be Franklin’s first as a head coach, but she feels more than prepared thanks to the many influences in her life. Franklin credited former Kennesaw State head coach Keith Schunzel, as well as former Danville coaches Spencer Cole (2014 state championship coach) and Megan Alrdridge as having helped prepare her for this moment.
She played for Cole and Schunzel and spent time as an assistant under Aldridge. “I’ve learned so much from so many people,” Franklin said. “I still talk to Spencer all the time, and I learned a lot sitting on Megan’s bench. She was so efficient and taught me a lot about having practice plans and game plans.” As Franklin prepares to take over the program, don’t expect any major changes. She made it clear that what has worked for the Hawks in the past will continue to work now. “I’m not going to come in and change the culture,” Franklin said. “Danville has built success on being competitive and hard working. That’s what has made this program great.”
Sydni Franklin (formerly Sydni Shelton) is a former volleyball star for the Danville Hawks who helped the team win the 2014 4A state championship. Franklin was named the new Danville volleybal coach Dec. 12.

DANVILLE — In 2014 the Danville Hawks went on a magical run as they stormed their way to the 4A state volleyball championship. At the center of it all was Sydni Shelton. Shelton was a star for the Hawks, selected the Decatur Daily Player of the Year in both 2013 and 2014, and named MVP of the state tournament in 2014. Her talent led her to the Division 1 level, where she played at Kennesaw State University. Flash forward almost a decade, and she’s traded the Shelton name for the married name of Sydni Franklin. However, she’s still as important a figure in the Danville community as she was all
