‘It is a process’ New Site Town Council talks annexation

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

New Site Mayor Phil Blasingame told councilmembers at Monday night’s town council meeting he would like to see the town annex property to make drawing required council districts easier. “(Town attorney) Mac (Clayton) informed us we have to draw up five districts,” Blasingame said. “It is a process. It is not something that can be done in one meeting. Prior to drawing up districts there are areas I would like to see us annex to make things easier. It is to make everything flow, makes the districts easier. It would give us a larger number of residences.”

Blasingame said the areas are already served by the New Site Police Department as they are See ANNEXATION • Page A3

Tallapoosa County school resource officers enjoy working with students

Fresh coat Volunteers help Creation Plantation get updated look

Horseshoe Bend school resource officer Beverly East’s truck is student-approved with its superhero detailed wrap. East’s truck has Marvel’s Avengers on the sides and Batman, Wonder Woman and Superman on the hood. “(The Tallapoosa Sheriff’s Department) wanted to get me into (a D.A.R.E. vehicle) and they had that truck which was actually seized in a drug bust several years ago,” East said. “They asked us come up with some ideas for a wrap on the truck and that’s what we came up with. The kids really love it.”

That connection helps East and other school resource officers in the Tallapoosa County Schools do a better job of heading off trouble.

She was added in 2016 and works for the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department.

Reeltown High School science teacher Georgia Smith was named Tallapoosa County Schools’ Teacher of the Year for 2019-20 last week, as the county board of education held an awards luncheon “I’m thankful to be here,” Smith said.

“I love my school.”

Smith was nominated along with Dadeville Elementary School teacher Lyssa Riggins, Dadeville High School teacher Wes Talton, Horseshoe Bend Elementary teacher Thomas C. Brown, Horseshoe Bend secondary teacher Tracy Robbins and Reeltown Elementary teacher Chris Burley.

“We have some very, very good teachers in the Tallapoosa County

School System,” superintendent Joe Windle said. “We have teachers who understand (why they teach).”

Dadeville Elementary sixth grade math teacher Leslie Loftin gave the keynote speech Thursday at the award ceremony. Loftin was named teacher of the year for 2018-19 and told the nominees to enjoy the honor.

“No matter what stage of your career you’re in, just take this honor and run with it because at some point now or later, you’re going to need this moment or achievement to get through this rough patch or maybe look back and see that you have been through that time and now you know that you’ve made it through,” Loftin said.

teachers who dislikes being interrupted during class time. “I’m very proud of her,� Cochran said. “She’s gotten this selection today; she deserves every bit of it as well as everyone else who has been up here.�

Smith said she was shocked to win teacher of the year. “Like Mr. Cochran said, probably of all of the teachers he has to come to when something comes up and we’re going to miss class time, I’m probably the worst one because I do give him a hard time about it,� Smith said. “I don’t want my kids to miss anything even if they’re not going to college, and a lot of them aren’t, but I want them to get out of high school and be the best that they can be. My ultimate goal is to turn out productive, positive citizens no matter what they’re going to do. I want them to see me work hard and they see me get upset about losing class time and I hope they realize how much I value it and that it rubs off on them a bit.�

Smith said Reeltown High School is like home for her and there is no place she’d rather be. “Before I even taught at Reeltown, I didn’t know there was a Reeltown because I interviewed with Mr. Windle and some other teachers at Dadeville,�

Smith said. “Mr. Windle’s the one who called me and offered a job at Reeltown and I was thinking I didn’t even know where that is.�

Annexation in the police jurisdiction. “There are no real issues,� police chief Phillip Weddle said. “We already patrol those areas.�

Blasingame added there were no other additional costs to the town as it already provides water in the area. He added Rep. Ed Oliver had already provided a resolution to him with blanks to fill in so it would work in the legislature.

The areas being considered for annexation include a little of Highway 49, Crowe Road, Cowpens Road to Sanford Road, the remaining portions of Cowpens West not currently in the town limits, Goldville Cutoff, Lashley Road, Whaley Road and Veazy Road.

The council voted to give Tallapoosa County $20,000 to assist in paving Church Street and Boyd Loop. Tallapoosa County commissioner John McKelvey was at the meeting and said the commission hoped the town could help fund part of the project. The decision was unanimous though councilmember Mickey Carter abstained, stating he owned property along on the roads.

Councilmember Toby Hanson was absent from the meeting.

In other action the council: • Approved amending the town’s personnel policy to show the town offers health insurance to its employees and will pay $250 a month toward premiums. The policy also requires if employees choose not to go with the town’s insurance they provide proof they are covered by other policies.

The insurance will also allow councilmembers to enroll but without a stipend from the town during normal enrollment periods. • Approved the purchase of LED lights for town hall at a cost of $2,320. • Is looking at allowing the Horseshoe Bend Youth Football League to use space in the gym to store equipment and use the downstairs locker rooms for fitting areas when they issue equipment. League leadership inquired about the use of the old basketball office but Blasingame and members of the council said they needed to speak with coaches at the school as they might need the space.

Doctors deserve our appreciation; we deserve more doctors

W

e hope our readers enjoyed the Doctors’ Day special section published in last week’s edition of The Dadeville Record. Our staff worked hard to present the stories of these dedicated healthcare professionals.

This newspaper wrote about a wide range of doctors — from those who successfully treat wounds in a hyperbaric chamber to the struggles of rural doctors to provide quality care to veterinarians who love caring for animals to those who bring life into the world and those who deal with life-and-death cases in the emergency room.

Two of our staff members, Lizi Arbogast and Santana Wood, shared their personal stories in hopes of inspiring others to get the care they need.

Gone are the days when doctors were usually the linchpin of small communities. These days, specialists abound and so does the red tape they get tangled in.

But the doctors profiled in the special section genuinely care about their patients. They have devoted years of intensive study to make a difference and in many cases sacrifice family time to provide the best care they can.

Joining the medical profession is a life-changing decision and many who start the lengthy training don’t finish. In an increasingly complex profession, doctors are in short supply nationwide, especially in rural areas.

According to a story last August in U.S. News and World Report, 85 million people lack adequate primary care nationwide. Of those areas, according to the federal Health Resources and Services Administration, nearly 60 percent were in rural regions and the nation needs 4,022 rural doctors to close the gap. The magazine also reported 20 percent of the nation’s population is rural, where residents tend to be older and less well insured.

While we should be thankful for the local doctors who take care of us, we should encourage government and healthcare organizations to make sure the underserved become the well served.

Opinion Record The

To avoid shortage, med schools must support future doctors

T

he United States will be short 120,000 doctors by the end of next decade, according to the latest research from the Association of American Medical Colleges.

That shortage will become permanent unless medical schools make the path to becoming a doctor a bit less arduous.

Some medical schools seem to take pride in imposing a heavy emotional and physical toll on their students. Toughen up aspiring doctors early on, the thinking goes, so they’re prepared for long hours and high stress when they’re working in clinical settings.

That thinking is outmoded — and risks dissuading people who would make excellent physicians from considering careers in medicine. In order to graduate skilled doctors — and enough of them — med schools must invest more in their students’ mental and physical health.

It’s no secret medical school is challenging.

It should be, of course.

Students are learning to navigate matters of life and death. Classes and lab work demand long hours and significant intellectual effort. Students invest years of their time and significant sums of money.

Given these challenges, it stands to reason med schools should do all they can to help their charges succeed.

At some schools, however, the academic culture is toxic. Students are expected

GLEN JACOBS Columnistt to master material on their own; seeking help is seen as a sign of weakness. Nearly half of all medical students report having been publicly embarrassed by faculty, staff or peers.

One survey found about half of medical students are suffering burnout — that is, severe emotional and physical exhaustion.

Many talented young people have taken note of these negatives and decided medicine may not be the right field for them. The number of med school applicants has been flat for the past four years.

Neither medical schools, nor a healthcare system desperate for doctors, can afford to see the pool of potential med students dry up.

Medical schools can create a more supportive learning environment without sacrificing rigor.

Some have heeded that call. The University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine offers free mental health care delivered by a dedicated team of providers to its more than 900 students.

Stanford Medical School runs a cognitive behavioral therapy program to teach techniques for reducing stress. Administrators have also set up an annual wellness survey specifically

to identify and treat the problem of sleep deprivation that’s all too common among med students.

Recent academic research has chronicled the positive effect that institutional investments in academic and mental-health support can have on student performance. We’ve acted on the findings from this research at St. George’s University.

Our students work closely with learning strategists to navigate academic challenges. Small-group instruction and collaborative learning environments informed by the latest pedagogical research are the norm. St. George’s also offers programs on time-management, effective note-taking, and mock residency interviews — skills students don’t typically learn in the classroom.

All Americans have a stake in improving the lot of medical students. We’ll need a lot more of them to address our doctor shortage.

A healthier med school culture may also help diversify the ranks of physicians in the United States. The cutthroat status quo has yielded a doctor workforce that’s almost three-quarters white. Less than 5 percent are black.

Medical school should be tough. But it doesn’t have to be miserable. By investing in support services, medical schools can boost student well-being — and turn out better doctors.

Letter to the Editor

Port of Mobile’s significance to average citizen Dear Editor, How significant is the Port of Mobile to the average citizen statewide?

Since the beginning of statehood in 1819, Alabama has been blessed with one deepwater seaport: the Port of Mobile. Our port is invaluable to our agribusiness industry statewide making our commodities easily accessible internationally. Without a doubt, the facilities of our port were key in attracting the auto manufacturing industries of Honda, Mercedes, Hyundai and now Toyota. Because of Mobile, Alabama steel from U.S. Steel and O’Neal Steel now play a major role in international steel markets.

Georgia-Pacific as well as Yellowood can attribute much of their volume of forest products to international sales

shipped through Mobile.

When the state legislature passed the recent Amendment 354, aka the gas tax bill, a provision was included to fund Port of Mobile improvements up to $12 million per year.

Supporters say this expenditure is vitally necessary to upgrade and modernize the port by dredging and widening the shipping channel to accommodate today’s modern shipping vessels.

Yet, a private citizen from the Florence area, Tom Fredericks, says that he is in the process of filing suit against the governor to halt the expenditure of any bill funds for Port of Mobile improvements. Fredrick insists the stated purpose of the bill is “road and bridge improvement and repair” and cannot be used for the Port of Mobile.

Legislative supporters point

to Section 24 of the Alabama Constitution that designates navigable waterways and port facilities as “highways.”

Will Fredericks prevail and stop the state plan for bill money? It is highly unlikely since Fredericks is a former unsuccessful office seeker and could possibly be simply pursuing a frivolous issue for future political reasons.

Personally, I feel the state improvements to the Port of Mobile and its impact statewide of 134,608 direct and indirect jobs and a total economic impact of $486.9 million without question justifies the expenditure. We simply must do whatever is necessary to maintain our gateway to international markets and not let the rest of the world pass us by.

Above: Horseshoe Bend school resource officer East poses for a photo with her superhero truck, which was decaled for her position.

As school resource officers, East, Golden and Cowart build relationships with students to let them know they can approach them anytime.

Officers Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department deputy Jason Cowart was the first SRO hired for the school system. He started in 2010 and worked at all the county schools before the school board added more SRO positions.

Cowart now works as the SRO at Reeltown High and Elementary schools.

Peter Golden was hired as Dadeville High and Elementary schools’ SRO in 2014.

“That has been tremendously beneficial and it makes all of our positions a lot more successful by having our own schools to work (so) we can build those rapports (with students) and they see us and get to know us rather than once a week,” Cowart said.

“We’re there every day.”

As school resource officers, Cowart, East and Golden build relationships with students to let them know they can approach them anytime.

“A lot of people think we’re in the school to discipline the kids and that is not our job,” East said. “We are there as a presence for safety and I think that’s a big

continued from Page A1 misconception that the public has of what we actually do in the school.”

The SROs also teach D.A.R.E., stranger danger and drivers education to the different grade levels.

“Both faculty and students know that we’re around for that sense of security and to make them feel comfortable, relaxed,” Golden said.

“We can help with any issues that derive from any disciplinary actions that need to come our way.”

Cowart said they’ve also worked with Crime Stoppers to keep drugs and weapons out of schools and have brought in peer meditation to teach children how to resolve conflict without using violence.

“It’s really helped a whole lot,” Cowart said.

While none of the officers have dealt with serious incidents at Tallapoosa County Schools, Golden said it is heartbreaking when they try working with students to help them and they choose the wrong path.

“If we can help some of those who we see might have problems and

try to keep them from ending up on the bad side of the law once they (graduate high school), that’s a plus,” Golden said.

Golden said working with children is a change from working on patrol.

“It was a big change spending all of your time with adults on the

streets and seeing a lot of that and then taking that change and having to come into a school environment,” Golden said. “I’ve enjoyed it. I like working with the kids and doing whatever I can to try to help them.”

East said being an SRO is the best position in law enforcement.

enforcement.”

Cowart said working with children is seeing the “gateway for the future.”

“We learn as much from the kids as they learn from us I’m sure,” Cowart said. “There’s so many times that the kids come in and they teach you so many new things that’s going on in the world just by having the rapport that we build with them. They show you different things. There’s social media and all these things that are up and coming. It’s an everyday learning process.”

Cowart said the SROs have great working relationships with Tallapoosa County Schools.

“It gives us an advantage because when we go to conferences and things like that we see so many times where other SROs don’t have what we have here and that is a huge, huge benefit for us in this county,” Cowart said.

ren’t memories great?

Other things in our life take I recall my mom and this dreaded journey down the grandmom used to drain as well. Anything from tell me about the good ole loss of a friendship to the loss of days, and I find as I become a loved one, from loss of a job more of a seasoned individual to financial ruin and from a loss I reminisce about things of being healthy to grimacing in that occurred years ago. In pain. So many situations are lost eighth-grade science class, and whirl down the drain of no JJACKIE ACKIE we studied about the equator Philippians 3:13-14 tells WILBOURN return. and the most amazing thing us “forgetting the things that are Columnist I was taught was toilet water behind and reaching forth unto flushes in a counter-clockwise the things which are before.” Stop direction at the equator. Later dwelling on things that are gone or I learned the equator is only an imaginary things we cannot do anything about; if our 25,000-mile line that divides the focus is always on the drain, we soon forget Northern Hemisphere from the Southern about the water that flows into the drain.

Hemisphere. The capital of Ecuador, There is a spout of true living water Quito, sits on that imaginary line. So that runs freely and never runs out. If our which direction does the drain flow? The focus is on the drain, we will miss the flow of a drain, whether on the equator or blessings that are constantly available in the United States, goes in the direction from the spout where the glory flows out. the drain is built and assembled.

John 7:38 tells us “rivers of living water will flow.”

Why focus on a drain? Each living “I can see the world a-tumblin’ and individual has a drain in their life and all have experienced losing something “down a-searchin’, lookin’ for an answer that is certain. It’s up to us to share God’s love the drain” or throwing away something with them.” Share the love of God with “down the drain.” In fact, the drain that the unsaved.

Things of value have disappeared down the drain Jackie Wilbourn is a member of Bethel such as rings, necklaces, money and I Baptist Church, a chaplain with the even had a friend flush her cellphone down the drain.

Two more arrested in connection with rape

NO. 3 CACC nursing program gets statewide honor

STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

By GABRIELLE JANSEN Staff Writer

P

racticalNursing. org has ranked Central Alabama Community College’s practical nursing school program third out of 20 PN schools in Alabama with an overall score of 98.31.

CACC health science program administrator Jennifer Steele said the school admits students for the registered nurse program but students can go through PN boards.

“We’ve got (licensed practical nurses) working in almost every long-term care facility and our service area which would cover Talladega, Coosa and Tallapoosa counties,” Steele said. “This is truly a recognition for the dedicated faculty and then the hard work of our students.”

Steele said CACC has 35 nursing students graduating in May and August, and 14 of them have already taken and passed the National Council Licensure Examination for nurses on the first attempt.

“I think that speaks highly of what our program is and what it contributes to the community,” Steele said. “(Being ranked third is) an incentive for our current students to continue on.”

Steele said there is a PN shortage in Alabama and CACC is supplying graduates to meet the need.

“The fact that we have such a great program speaks highly to what we’re putting out there,” Steele said. “We’re able to help meet those needs probably not at the rate facilities would like but at least they know that the nurses who they hire from CACC are coming highly qualified.”

Steele said nursing programs

Two more arrests have been made in connection with the rape of a female minor at a residence in Tallapoosa County, according to the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department.

On March 25, Kameron Kailer Johnson, 18, of 2495 Waterstone Circle in Auburn was charged with firstdegree rape and seconddegree Walker sodomy, according to a release from Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett.

Johnson was booked into the Tallapoosa County Jail and released on an $80,000 bond.

On Friday, the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department arrested two more suspects. JaCoreyious Tyreck Walker, 18, of 261 Carter Street in Auburn was charged with two counts of firstdegree rape, was booked into the Tallapoosa County Jail and released on a $20,000 bond, the sheriff’s department said. A 17-year-old juvenile was also arrested and charged with first-degree rape and released on a $10,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s department.

The rape was reported to authorities on March 15 and the sheriff’s department said the investigation is continuing.

in general are difficult.

“Nursing is known for being both an art and a science, so it’s not just a pass the test,” Steele said. “(You) have to pass the class and (you) have to be successful in the clinical setting. … You’ve got theory and then you’ve got the actual practice.”

Steele said it’s a great time to be in the school’s nursing program.

“It’s becoming more competitive to get in, which means that we’re able to pull the cream of the crop, which also means we’re putting out there in the community the best nurses,” Steele said. “I think that is a huge asset to the community.”

Creation Plantation and Keebler Park that surrounds it.

“Many people are not aware of the park behind the playground,” volunteer Dianna Porter said. “We have been doing a few things, moving some things around to let people see there is a park back there.”

Porter has spearheaded efforts to make Keebler Park more visible to Dadeville residents and beyond.

Another group has been volunteering around town and helped put Holdridge in touch with Porter to spiffy up Creation Plantation.

“I got hold of the beautification board,” Holdridge said. “They put me into contact with Dianna.”

From there, the ladies got supplies donated and sought some help. On Saturday, Holdridge and Porter were joined by other volunteers applying paint to posts, railings and benches making things such as the tic-tac-toe board and pathways through the playground more visible and inviting.

And they are not through.

“We will likely be out here the next few weekends,” Porter said. “There is a lot to be done.”

Porter hopes someone can help with a special part of the project.

“We have an extension ladder but we haven’t found a volunteer to climb it yet to paint the stuff up high,” Porter said with a giggle. “I would but I don’t get along with ladders, especially as I get older.”

Holdridge said she is not giving up on the project after one weekend and will be back as needed to finish and see the playground is kept fresh.

“I just have to do anything for the kids,” she said. Dianna Porter brightens up the bridge with red paint Saturday as she helped paint the park.

Late-inning error downfall for Dadeville

Dadeville’s Timirian Tinsley played hero Tuesday night with a two-run walk-off single to lift the Tigers over Elmore County.

By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For The Record

When the conversation turns to tenacious small-school baseball teams, rivals Reeltown and Dadeville are the examples. On Saturday, their showdown didn’t disappoint as the Rebels upended the Tigers, 7-6, in Game 1 of a doubleheader.

Led by pitcher Kolby Coan, Reeltown limited the Tigers to one run through four innings. Dadeville scored in the top of the first to take a 1-0 lead then trailed until the top of the seventh after the Rebels rallied in the bottom of the second.

“I think the boys came out ready to play and it showed on the field,” Rebel coach Trey Chambers said.

“We hit a little bit of a lull (coming into this game) but we are trying to pick things up and fight to get into the playoffs.”

Down 1-0, Robert Crittenden singled to lead off the home half of the second and scored on a Coan double sliced down the left-field line, just falling fair before rolling toward the corner with a Tiger defender giving chase. Coan scored on a passed ball to give the Rebels the 2-1 lead.

Reeltown marched home again in the bottom of the fourth. Coan drew a walk and scored on a twoout triple from Cade Wood. Wood’s blast floated and bounced over the centerfielder’s head allowing him to stretch the would-be double into the three-bagger.

“We were dragging for the first six innings,” Tigers coach Curtis Martin said. “By the time we turned it on, it was too late. We couldn’t get the big hit with runners in scoring position.

We had plenty of opportunities to blow the game open. I’m very disappointed.”

Down two runs, Dadeville began to chip away at the Rebel lead. Alex Walker reached on a fielder’s choice with two outs and scored on an Alex Sims single.

The 3-2 margin was expanded by Reeltown in the bottom of the fifth.

Reeltown’s Logan Hunt tied a season-high with 11 strikeouts against Horseshoe Bend in a 10-2 win last week.

Reeltown was just five days removed from an 11-1 loss at Horseshoe Bend when it entered last Thursday’s baseball game. However, it was the Rebels walking away with their heads held high after dominating their rivals in the rematch.

The Rebels (8-7) scored at least one run in each of the first five frames and got a big pitching performance from Logan Hunt to defeat the Generals, 10-2.

here are only four more days of college basketball this season which means the long, sevenmonth wait between games is way too close. However, after a thrilling weekend of Elite 8 games, basketball fans are expecting to see more of the same across the final six games of the season.

It all gets started on Friday night when the NCAA Women’s Final Four gets underway in Tampa. Unlike the men’s tournament, there have not been many surprises during the women’s tournament and that has us set with four teams that have been among the nation’s best all season.

The first game features the top seed in the tournament that statistically looks like one of the greatest teams of all time. Baylor has a plus-19 percent difference between its shooting percentage and its opponents’ shooting percentage this season.

The Bears earned the bracket’s top seed behind a 23-game winning streak entering the tournament. They have now extended that to 27 games and only three — yes, THREE — have been decided by single digits.

Dadeville wins via walk-off over Generals

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Early on, it looked like Dadeville’s softball team was going to roll to an easy victory over Horseshoe Bend during Benjamin Russell’s annual Think Pink Round Robin tournament on Friday evening. But the Generals weren’t going down that easily.

After trailing by eight runs, Horseshoe Bend stormed back to pull within a run of the Tigers in the top of the sixth and even took a lead in the final inning. But then it was Dadeville’s turn to mount a comeback, and it captured a thrilling 12-11 victory.

The win came after the Tigers suffered a run-shortened defeat at the hands of the host Wildcats.

“I think we just left it like I told them too,” Dadeville coach Jordan McGuire said. “We had a little bit more confidence. We’ve seen both teams. Benjamin Russell, that was the third time we’ve lost to them, but we beat Horseshoe Bend in the tournament. So I think we had more confidence going in even though it was a different pitcher.

I think they believed a little bit more.”

Dadeville built up its lead slowly but surely against the Generals.

After two scoreless innings to begin, the Tigers finally got things going in the third inning with a two-RBI double from Zoe Veres. They added two more in the fourth with an RBI single from Isis Johnson, who then scored on an error two plays later.

But the Tigers really took command in the bottom of the fifth. Tiffany Rice led off by drawing a walk, and she was followed by singles from Jailee Kirkland and Cali Jones to load the bases. Veres took full advantage by lacing a double to right field,

driving in a pair of runs. After one out, Skylar Waldrep got an RBI with a groundout, and the Tigers added one more on an error before the inning’s end.

Despite trailing 8-0 with only two innings left, the Generals really came together and started pounding out the hits in the sixth inning. Kennedy Templeton led with a single and was followed by Jessie Eason, who reached on an error. Reagan Taylor then drove them both in with a double before the Generals had three back-toback hits. Alyssa Whiteard and Templeton also both added RBIs to pull their team within one run.

“We’ve been waiting to see that time,” HBS coach Hagen Whiteard

said. “We’ve been telling them all along that they have to believe in themselves, and that proved it.

That’s who they are; they just have to do it consistently.”

The Generals eventually took a lead with RBIs from Ivy Vickers, Caly Carisle and Whiteard in the seventh inning, but they couldn’t sustain the lead.

“They had some really good hits,” McGuire said. “They started to get their timing up and did really good. Some of them we couldn’t do anything about. They played the game, and we just had to play it back with them.”

Dadeville did just that, scoring four runs in the bottom of the seventh to win the game.

Spraggins. Atkins allowed a single to Logan Hunt then Crittenden sacrificed himself to push Brooks home.

With time running out, the Tigers added another run in the sixth to close the distance to 4-3. Cameron Tidwell singled and scored on a Cooper Childers double.

In the bottom of the sixth, Wood lifted an Atkins fastball into the wind and over the fence for a two-run home run. The 6-3 lead seemed secure as Coan was pulled and replaced by Colby Clark.

But Dadeville’s bats came to life to welcome the newest Rebel into the fray.

Slade McCullers, Sims and Max McClendon rattled off singles to load the bases. Tidwell took a fastball off the arm earning an RBI, cutting the deficit to 6-4. Kevin Keel cut it down even more with a sacrifice then Atkins single to drive home McClendon and tie the game, 6-6.

“Adversity happens,” Chambers said.

“That’s what I told them after the game. It was definitely frustrating, but we were able to get out of and come out on top.”

Clark with one out during the rally was able to induce a pop fly for the second out and then a grounder to shortstop for the third.

After leading for a good portion of the game, the Rebels found themselves batting in the bottom of the seventh. Logan Lee, Crittenden and Parker Hardin each drew walks to load the bases.

“Anytime you can get the leadoff runner on base, you have a good chance to score,” said Chambers. “It was a good job by us to stay in it and move the runners.”

With no outs, Coan laced an Atkins offering to third that bounced through the defender’s legs allowing the run to score to win the game.

“He just turned his head up to look at the runner and took his eyes off the ball,” Martin said.

Reeltown kept its momentum going, defeating the Tigers, 20-19, in another walk-off in Game 2 of the twin bill.

Both squads used this game as a tune-up for the final push through the area.

“Dadeville is a great program and I’ve heard about them for years,” said Chambers. “With this being my first year, it was good today to get out there and get this win.”

Reeltown has a three-game area set against Central Coosa this week before it finishes area play against Thorsby next week.

The Tigers are scheduled to tangle with area foes Beulah this week then B.B. Comer next week.

“This is a very good tune-up and a great game,” Martin said. They got after it today and we didn’t.”

Softball third inning and recorded 11 total in the game. Reeltown scored 10 of its runs with two outs, proving each fielding error to be costly.

“We practiced it all yesterday, they just fell apart today,” Horseshoe Bend coach Hagen Whiteard said. “We work on that repetition but we have to continue that so we don’t make these same errors over and over. We beat ourselves more than anyone else does.”

The Generals (5-9, 1-1) scored five runs across the final two innings but it was not enough to escape the run rule. Caly Carlise, who pitched four innings in the loss for Horseshoe Bend, reached base twice and led the team with two RBIs. Horseshoe Bend has now lost six of its last seven games. The team has averaged five fielding errors per game during that stretch and

“We’re really struggling right now with keeping momentum,” Whiteard said. “When we play a couple of good innings, it’s always followed by a couple of bad ones.

We’re just playing very inconsistent and it’s disappointing.”

With all of the miscues by its opponent, Reeltown’s offense was still the key to victory last Thursday.

The Rebels had six different players record at least two hits while Marlee Knox and Savannah Hornsby led the team with three RBIs each.

“Confidence is key in this game,” Hilyer said. “The more we can start building on that, the more comfortable they’ll start being on the field. They’ll start making the plays and hitting the ball well.”

Horseshoe Bend.

Baseball a good ball game today and that’s what we did.”

Reeltown jumped into the lead after Logan Lee hit an RBI single to score Gabe Bryant in the first inning but that was just the start for the Rebel offense.

After loading the bases in the second inning, Reeltown added to its lead after two wild pitches and an RBI single from Hunt.

The four-run lead was all Hunt needed on the mound as he used that momentum to shut down the Horseshoe Bend offense. He sat down eight Generals by strikeouts in the first three innings, including a stretch of six consecutive batters across all three frames.

“That’s just Logan being Logan,” Chambers said. “We kind of expect it at this point but when you sit back and look at it, it’s pretty amazing to watch.

We’re fortunate to have him.”

Horseshoe Bend (6-8) could not catch up to Hunt’s fastball which made the breaking pitch look even better. The Generals only got two hits off Hunt and scored one unearned run.

“The biggest difference today was their guy on the mound,” Horseshoe Bend coach Jason Johnson said. “He threw it right down our throats and we couldn’t put it in play. He threw the ball well and we didn’t make any adjustments at all.”

In his second longest outing of the season, Hunt pitched five innings before

being pulled with Reeltown leading 10-1 after five innings. He tied a season-high with 11 strikeouts.

“Logan is a competitor,” Chambers said. “Every time he is on the mound, he’s going to give us his best. We just have to have the surrounding pieces to support him and we do for the most part.

Getting out to a big lead today was big for us.”

Reeltown had lost five of six games entering Thursday’s rivalry, including being swept by area opponent Fayetteville last week. The Rebels responded well with a big day offensively, scoring 10-plus runs for the sixth time this season.

Lee and Hunt each had two hits and two RBIs at the plate while nine-hole hitter Cade Wood knocked two doubles

and scored twice. Every player in Reeltown’s lineup reached base at least once and seven of them scored at least one run.

“This game is all momentum,” Chambers said. “The Fayetteville losses were tough but hopefully we can take this and build off of it going forward.”

Horseshoe Bend found some offense late, loading the bases with no outs in the fifth inning. However, Justin Phillips grounded into a double play, scoring a run but ending the threat of a big inning.

“You have to preach to them to try to chip away,” Johnson said. “You’re not going to get all of them at once but we couldn’t string anything together. We couldn’t get enough base hits back to back to build any momentum.”

The Rebels will host the doubleheader with Coosa today and will be looking for wins to crawl back into the playoff picture in Class 2A Area 7.

Horseshoe Bend swept its first area series before losing all three games to Ranburne before spring break. The Generals will have their final area series against Woodland beginning Tuesday as they need two wins to clinch a spot in the postseason.

“I’ve been preaching all year that we have to be more consistent on both sides of the ball,” Johnson said. “We played really well the last three games but I told them it can’t be a roller coaster. You can’t just decide which games to play; it has to be all year.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could feel pressured by a boss or authority Ă&#x201E;gure who wants what he or she wants. One-on-one relating proves more eÉ&#x2C6;ective in clearing out a misunderstanding.

Your sense of direction helps forge an agreement with a partner.

Tonight: Be part of a team.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Defer to an assertive associate or friend. This person has good ideas, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tolerate others playing devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advocate. Try to grasp where others come from. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have a way of understanding some of the hot ideas kicking around.

Tonight: Meet a friend for dinner.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your eÉ&#x2C6;ectiveness could be tested.

You might not know which is the best way to proceed. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smart enough to be able to test out diÉ&#x2C6;erent theories or explanations.

Direct your energy toward the person who can make a diÉ&#x2C6;erence.

Tonight: Share with a key loved one.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Another person charges toward you and has an idea that works for them. Your way to get past a problem with this person will be to acknowledge how the approach works for the party in question; also, state your case. Tonight: Let the other party decide.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could decide to head in a new direction. You have all the energy that you need to pursue a goal. If anyone blocks you, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re likely to lose your temper. Use care around your home, investments and a personal matter. Tonight: Indulge in a favorite game.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You see a situation far diÉ&#x2C6;erently from those around you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re willing to take a stand and manage a loved one or child with wit and emotion. Good feelings and caring Ă&#x2026;ow back and forth. Your sense of caring and general friendship draws others. Tonight: At a favorite spot.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Stay in touch with your spending. It easily can get out of hand.

Financial isssues could cause a problem with a personal or domestic matter. Once you loosen the reins on your checkbook, you might go overboard. Tonight: Keep your budget.

Turrentine continued from Page B1 country. Win or lose, Oregon’s Sabrina Ionescu has been the most valuable player in this tournament and that will continue Friday night.

Ionescu grabbed the first triple-double in an NCAA Tournament game since Draymond Green did it and she had the highest scoring triple-double since Dwayne Wade’s in 2003. She is exciting to watch and when the Ducks surround her with sharpshooters, Oregon can beat anyone in the country.

In the second game, we have a rematch of last year’s final four between UConn and Notre Dame. This game has the reigning national champion and a team who has been to 12 consecutive national semifinals.

Somehow, the Huskies are the No. 2 seed in this game and they have been using that to drive their play over the last two weeks. Depth was a concern in the past for UConn but it feels like Katie Lou Samuelson has been there for seven years and she could be the difference because of her experience in these big games.

On Saturday, the men’s Final Four gets started in Minneapolis. The relatively Cinderella team this year is Auburn but it does not enter as major underdogs like Cinderella teams in the past.

The Tigers are the scariest team in the country when they start making consecutive shots.

Watching Jared Harper and Bryce Brown is the most excitement we have left in the tournament since Zion Williamson and Duke exited.

However, the lone No. 1 seed remaining is Virginia which shook off its March Madness demons to get to the Final Four behind a miracle shot in the Elite 8.

The Cavaliers are known for their defense and they still have players that can score the ball efficiently but limiting Auburn’s opportunities in transition and from beyond the arc will be key.

In the second game, Michigan State and Texas Tech will be in what’s maybe even more of an unexpected meeting. Both teams just knocked off the top seed in their respective regions and will hope to carry that momentum into Saturday night.

The Spartans may hold the biggest edge of any of the four teams because of coach Tom Izzo’s experience in the Final Four. However, if Michigan State is going to win a championship, it’s going to come at the hands of Big Ten Player of the Year Cassius Winston.

Winston plays a true point guard who can find the open man in the half court or transition but also knows how to take over the game when needed. Winston is a scorer, a passer and deceptively quick on both ends of the court.

If you do not like watching the low-scoring Virginia games, watching Texas Tech reminds you of how fun it can be to watch good defense. The Red Raiders have been the best defense team in the country without playing at a preposterously slow pace.

As for the championship games Sunday and Monday, I am standing by my original brackets. While the rest of my picks have been well below average, I had Baylor over UConn in the women’s tournament and Michigan State over Virginia in the men’s tournament so those are the predictions I’m sticking with.

Make sure to find plenty of time over the weekend to watch all of these games because by this time next week, there will be no more college basketball for the 2018-19 season. And then the waiting will begin.

his closing. “I don’t dispute the (lab) report. I do dispute the evidence forwarded to the lab in this matter.”

Duerr had one last chance to sway the jury before its 50-foot walk to the jury room.

“What motive or reason does investigator Silvey and investigator Osborne have coming in front of y’all and making stuff up?” Duerr asked the jury.

“If they had done anything illegal, we wouldn’t be here today. You wouldn’t be hearing this case. (The girlfriend has) got motive to lie. (The investigators) don’t.”

Gavin asked Martin to appoint Russell new counsel for a possible appeal despite Russell’s request to keep Gavin.

“He has asked me to represent him,” Gavin told Martin. “I think it is in his best interest for someone else to look at it and do it.”

Martin indicated he was likely to appoint new counsel and would probably do so by the April 23 sentencing.

Afterward Duerr wanted to thank the jury for believing in law enforcement and Hall for his work in the case.

“I want to thank the jury for their attention during the trial and for believing in the officers who I would also like to thank for their hard work.”

Duerr said. “Kevin (Hall) did a great job in getting this case ready for trial.”
