Whatley bill could lower hunting, fishing costs for students

Investigators work on preliminary report for plane crash

STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

By MITCH SNEED Editor

Alabama State Sen. Tom Whatley (R-Auburn) has shepherded a proposal through the Alabama Legislature that will make it easier for out-of-state college students living in Alabama to hunt and fish. Whatley was the Senate sponsor of House Bill 3, which will allow nonresident college students in Alabama to purchase hunting and fishing licenses at the same price as resident licenses. A non-resident, all-game hunting license for one year costs $301.85, while the same license costs only $26.20 for Alabama residents. “We have thousands of out-of-state college students in Alabama each year, hundreds of whom would love to hunt and fish in their adopted state, but the costs are just too high,” said Whatley. “Alabama welcomes these prospective hunters and fishermen to our woods and lakes, especially since many of these students will settle in Alabama after graduation.” Under Whatley’s plan, an out-ofstate student will have to present proof of enrollment at a state college or university to qualify for an in-state license. Lifetime hunting and fishing licenses, meanwhile, are exempt. See BILL • Page A3

Dr. Jamie Evans with Medical Park Family Care in Dadeville speaks to the Dadeville Kiwanis Club about wellness.

LIVE HEALTHY Local physician talks wellness with Kiwanis By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Dadeville Kiwanians got a lesson in wellness from Dr. Jamie Evans. Evans moved to Dadeville last year and became the family practice physician at Russell Medical’s Medical Park Family Care in Dadeville. “Being healthy and staying well is so very important,” Evans said. “As

physicians, we want to talk to you about COPD or diabetes or the right diet. It is possible to be healthy with disease.” Evans almost did not make it as a doctor. “It’s kinda a running joke with the people that know me and even a lot of my patients,” Evans said. “I started out in internal medicine and found that there was a lot of hospital work and disease See KIWANIS • Page A3

Federal officials who were called in to investigate the crash of a single-engine plane Tuesday near Dadeville said Thursday that it could be a year or more before an exact cause is determined. Keith Holloway of the National Transportation Safety Bureau said that investigators on the scene retrieved the wreckage, which was located in a remote area off Highway 280 in the Slaughter’s Crossing area, not far from Dadeville. The evidence has been moved to a secure location in Tennessee where work will begin of piecing together data that will lead them to a cause, Holloway said. “It’s a very detailed process,” Holloway said in a telephone interview Thursday. “There will be a preliminary report in about a week or so, but a final determination in a case like this can take from 12 to 18 months.” See REPORT • Page A3

part of a Severe Thunderstorm Warning for a time as well. Moran said the weather warnings were a perfect test for the county’s new alert system where residents can receive calls or get warning via their cellular phones. About 1,200 have signed up so far, but Moran said it was obvious the network was working. “It was a good test for sure at a time that turned out not to be as bad as originally thought,� Moran said. “There are still a few things we need to work out, but for the most part it worked well. We hope that people will continue to sign up and take advantage of the program.� The system is called “Tallapoosa Alert,� and is a mass notification system designed to help keep residents safe and informed with reliable notifications during emergencies and other events. To sign up to receive alerts from the system, go to www.tallaco.com, click the

departments tab and select EMA. From there click on Tallapoosa Alert. But as of 4 p.m., the area had received less than an inch of rain over a 24-hour period. It was still unclear if the night would be as kind as the area remained under tornado watch until 9 p.m. Moran check and indicated that 19 people had taken advantage of the shelter that was set up at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville. Six reportedly used the location in Alexander City. “We certainly dodged a bullet during the day,� Moran said at about 4 p.m. Wednesday. “The worst part of those storms either went north, south or east of us. We were being told not to let the sunshine fool us, so we are just waiting to see what the evening brings.� While Tallapoosa County was fortunate during the day Wednesday, other parts of the state weren’t so lucky.

“This will bring more money into the state, because I think a lot of students at Auburn and other schools are simply choosing to not hunt or fish at all, given the outrageous cost. Heck, even a threeday hunting pass for non-residents is $131.65,� Whatley observed. “These kids already pay three times the in-state tuition, so this is a way to make them feel more at home in their adopted

state.� House Bill 3 has received final passage in the Legislature and is awaiting Governor Robert Bentley’s signature. Whatley represents Lee, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties. He is chairman of the Senate Agriculture, Conservation, and Forestry Committee.

tires, batteries, light bulbs, televisions, computers, propane tanks and any hazardous or medical waste cannot be disposed of at these locations during Throw Away Days events. Wood said that the volume of trash and unwanted items that were collected on Jan. 10-11, which were both two weekdays, shows that people need a place to get rid of items that have collected at their homes on a regular basis. “Over 36 tons of garbage was collected, similar to the 40 tons collected last April,� Wood said. “Unlike what was done in April, these two days were during the week. I think that shows that there is a need for this service. “We are pleased to announce that we

are moving forward with a Throw Away Day Program. Several commissioners have already agreed to join forces throughout the year and continue to offer dumpsters at no charge.� After next Monday and Tuesday’s Throw Away Days, the program will again place dumpsters in locations on July 10-11 and October 9-10. “County officials and volunteer groups have been battling the problem of illegal dumping for quite some time and this is a perfect opportunity to rid themselves of these items the right way,� Wood said. “This has been a much-needed resource for county residents and I encourage everyone to thank their commissioners and make them aware of how beneficial it has been.�

Report While all the investigation is not complete, online data flight info points to mechanical failure of some sort. Online flight information suggests that the flight began to veer off course, while losing speed and altitude quickly. Data shows that the plane made a 356-degree turn at 12:54 p.m. and then began to lose altitude at a rate of about 1,000 feet per minutes. The last radar contact came at 12:59 p.m. and the plane was down to 900 feet. Speculation is that Currier may have turned to head toward Alexander City’s Russell Field when it went down. Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Special Agent David Williams said two helicopters responded after a call indicated that engine failure had occurred. “We were contacted by the Montgomery Post

continued from page 1

who had been contacted by the FAA about a missing aircraft that had reported possible engine loss around Tallapoosa County,� Williams said. The 67-year-old pilot David Lee Currier is a very experienced pilot. He retired from the Army as a CW 5, and at the time of the crash he worked as an instructor pilot for URS Contractors at Fort Rucker near Enterprise.

Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said that at last report, Currier was improving while being treated at Grady Memorial Hospital’s Burn Unit in Atlanta. Details for a memorial service for Currier’s wife, 66-year-old Jeannette Carol Currier who died in the crash have not been finalized.

An apparent tornado caused damage in southeastern Alabama. National Weather Service meteorologists reported that a suspected tornado touched down Wednesday in Henry County, Alabama, before crossing into Georgia. An official with the Henry County Emergency Management Agency, John Taylor, said the storm hit in an area dotted with vacation and full-time homes around Lake Eufaula. Power lines and trees were down, and some homes were apparently damaged. There were no reports of injuries or deaths, but emergency crews were on the scene sorting things out late Wednesday afternoon. Tornadoes weren’t the only threat Wednesday. The nation’s Storm Prediction Center said winds blowing to near 70 mph in places toppled trees in several locations across Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

“Change is a choice. It does not happen by chance. If you see something that needs to be changed, it’s your choice.

The less you do the less you can do.

She actually lives here with us. Her child goes to school here. It is just like she belongs here.� “We have been incredibly welcomed here and we appreciate it,� Evans said. “When we came here, it was very important to be part of the community. On the first day of med school, they ask who do you see yourself being in the future. One of the things I wrote down was that I wanted to live in a small community where I knew everyone and everyone knew me and where I traded chickens and ducks for medical care.�

management. I didn’t like sick people so I switched over to family medicine where we work on prevention and health maintenance and keeping people well. I found my niche. I love it and have thrived ever since.� Evans explained that wellness is the key to control healthcare costs. “One way we can keep our costs down in this ever changing healthcare system is to regularly see a primary care physician,� Evans said. “Find a doctor and go even if you are healthy and well. We screen for illnesses so hopefully we can catch that cancer early before it gets to far advanced.� Evans said wellness is affected by choices. “Wellness involves choices in how we live our lives,� Evans said. “Those choices determine our lifestyles.� Evans explained choices like eating healthy and exercising are what everyone can do but not to forget other things like taking time to just be are all important to overall wellness. “What can I do to be healthy?� Evans asked. “Be quiet, set aside time for solitude. Be open to others and what they have to offer and be nonjudgemental of others. Be inquisitive. Be playful, laugh, enjoy, dance, just play, it helps you to take deep breaths.

Editorial Pit bulls are a misunderstood breed

Key choices R can lead to good health W e can all throw our hands up in disbelief at rising healthcare costs and insurance

costs. But we can also control some of those costs by making a few choices. Dr. Jamie Evans of Russell Medical’s Medical Park Family Care in Dadeville reminds us that choosing to be healthy does not require rocket science. “Wellness involves choices in how we live our lives,” Evans told the Dadeville Kiwanis Club last week. “Those choices determine our lifestyles.” Those choices are often simple like eating healthy, exercising and just taking time to be. Being open to others, being playful and laughter are things Evans says will help. We can’t argue with those simple steps. Just look at children. We all comment about the energy they have. What are they doing? Exercising, playing, being open to others, laughing and with adult help, eating healthy. But somewhere along the way things get in the way and that is where we encourage youto follow another suggestion from Evans – the annual wellness check. “Find a doctor to go to even if you are healthy,” Evans said. “We screen for illnesses so hopefully we can catch that cancer early before it gets to far advanced.” That simple visit is often covered fully by insurance. It helps us get reminders from the doctor that we need to lay off the sugar and if the screenings catch something early, it might save us thousands of dollars in healthcare costs. We agree with Evans something as simple as moving can get the ball rolling to a healthy lifestyle. “I believe God created our body to move,” Evans said. “I frequently tell my patients the more you do, the more you can do. The less you do the less you can do.”

uby is the greatest dog to ever grace God’s green earth. She just is. Perhaps I am a bit biased, but it’s hard to argue otherwise. She’s a lab, and most level-headed people know that labs are simply the best. Pit bulls, on the other paw, are simply the worst. They are just useless creatures up there with ants and mosquitos and should be feared like rattle snakes and sharks. Right? Wrong. Lucy has a pit bull. She also has three other dogs, but we’ll focus on Sadie the pit for this article. I’d never been around this often-misunderstood breed of dog until Lucy and I reconnected. Admittedly, I was a bit nervous around her the first few times. I’ve had two labs over the past 20 years. With labs, there is nothing to fear; however, their hyperactivity might freak you. Both of my dogs were from a litter of pups here in town. I got Chyna at eight weeks and Ruby at seven weeks. Both were well trained and a delight to be around. Sadie, too, is a delight to be around. She is a super sweet dog, but she didn’t have the luxury of growing up in a nice environment. I don’t know her full story, but she was used in a puppy mill to give birth to other little pit bulls for no

JODY FULLER Columnist

telling what all. She had many, many litters of pups, and was just not in very good shape at all. She was covered with scars, scrapes, and hot spots. Apparently, she spent the first four to five years of her life on a chain. There are some bad people in this world. Somehow, she wound up at the Lee County Humane Society. They took her in and nursed her back to health. Lucy, who has great affinity for pits, quickly adopted her and took her in. That was about nine months ago. Sadie is a great dog, but one can often tell she comes from sad and humble beginnings. For such a ferocious breed of dog— that’s sarcasm, folks—I have never seen one so timid and afraid, although she is getting better. She is terrified of just about everything from popping open a trash bag prior to lining the can to the sound of folding a pillowcase. She’s also a bit protective of her food. I don’t know her whole story, but I feel for her. One night recently, Ruby

was left inside for 24 hours and didn’t have an accident. Sadie has accidents often. She must be on a leash when we let her out. Ruby doesn’t need a leash at all. She does exactly what I tell her, most of the time anyway. She’s never run off. If Sadie runs off, there’s no telling where she’ll wind up. Does this mean Ruby is a better dog? Nope. It just means that she had a better start and better opportunities early on. The great news is that Sadie’s future is bright and will only get brighter. In just the few months I’ve been around her, I’ve seen vast improvement in all areas. She’s gotten to the point where she’ll even give me a little sugar. On top of that, she’s a great snuggler. Pits get a bad rap simply because of many of their irresponsible and downright criminal owners. I’m constantly learning. I was wrong about pit bulls. They are great dogs and deserve a shot at a happy life just like any other, but Ruby is still the best dog in the world. Jody Fuller is from Opelika.

Our

Letters to the Editor

Eight years to come up with a healthcare plan that failed Dear Editor, Please run the following is response to Mr. Mike Rogers article on repealing and replacing the Affordable Healthcare Act. President Donald Trump could learn from his mistakes. He won’t. Last week’s healthcare fiasco could end up being a positive experience for this guy if he learns a few obvious lessons. Spoiler alert: He won’t, as he’s a bit too juvenile. He should realize that the republican factions in Congress have multiple agendas, none of which resembles his own. This is why his healthcare bill was withdrawn and made a mockery of

Trump’s campaign promises. Gee! They had eight freaking years to come up with a plan, and failed miserably. Trump promised health insurance for everybody ended up supporting legislation that would have taken away coverage from 24 million people. Many, if not most, of the victims would have been working class voters – the “forgotten Americans” Trump claimed to champion. Really?? Now that he has time, maybe he will actually read the bill (or have someone summarize it for him) and realize how truly awful it was. Meanwhile, Trump’s approval rating as of Monday, March 27 was 36

percent – a stunning new low. During the campaign, Trump was nothing if not headstrong. Yet in office he has let others lead – and is getting nowhere. He could change course. He could get rid of the sycophantic aides who spend so much time blaming each other. He could focus on parts of his agenda, such as infrastructure, that have poplar support, including among democrats. But that would mean acknowledging his mistakes thus far. Don’t hold your breath. Jeff Morgan Dadeville

It’s time to form a joint animal control unit By RAPHORD FARRINGTON Community Columnist

This has been one beautiful spring. Have you noticed how great the dogwood trees look this year? It has been real nice to drive around the county and enjoy. I noticed two businesses in Dadeville that have done a great job of presenting their business with landscaping. The Farmers and Merchants Bank on South Broadnax is an established landscape, and they have shown us how to improve your yard by trimming all the shrubs and applying fresh pine straw mulch, great job.

And on the north end of Broadnax Street at the intersection of U.S. 280 is the new Jacks, they have done a great job with a new installation including sod and shrubbery. I hope these two locations will motivate other businesses and homeowners to look at their yards and do what they can to improve its appearance and presentation to visitors to our city. I award these two locations Yard of the Month. And while we are talking about improving our city, as I drive around enjoying the spring beauty I am amazed at the number of dogs that roam our streets and yards with no collar, tag, or any kind of identification at

all hours of the day and night. I have witnessed several packs of five to six dogs roaming and running through neighborhoods. Do you know where your dog is? If you own a dog we would like for you to enjoy it in your yard! I hope the city of Dadeville, Alex City, and the county will work together to share cost to develop an animal control ordinance and program for our area. At least it would be a start and all three could share the expense. Is there any interest in this? If so call your councilperson or commissioner.

Please also check their website: www. alhomemakers.club for further information. Red Ridge Methodist Church News: RR wishes to welcome four new members who joined last Sunday, two of which have been visiting quite awhile. Rev. Messer’s sermon Sunday is titled “Who’s the Guy on the Donkey” Matthew 21:111. The account of Jesus arriving in Jerusalem on a donkey and by doing

this he affirmed his Messianic royalty as well as his humility. This is known as Palm Sunday or the “Entry of the Lord into Jerusalem.” The celebrating people laid down their cloaks and small branches of trees in front of him. The symbolism of the donkey may refer that it is an animal of peace, versus the horse, which is the animal of war. The choir’s anthem is “Lift Up Your Heads Jerusalem.” The jail ministry meets Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. The visiting pastor is Mike Wells of Life Spring. Maundy Thursday or Holy Thursday service is 5:30 p.m. Maundy is the first of three days of solemn remembrance of the events leading up to and immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus. The choir will sing “Midnight Garden.” RR is located at 8091 county Road 34, Dadeville, 256-8259820, redridgeumc.org. Paul Messer is pastor. First United Methodist Church News: The deadline for ordering Easter Lillies is April 9. $12 per plant. You may take your lily home after the worship service on Easter Sunday, April 16!

Bring flashlight, chair and covered dish; April 10 through April 14, Holy Week Services at 11:30 a.m., First Presbyterian Church; April 13, Thursday, “Passion of the Christ Service” at 6:15 p.m.; April 14, 6 p.m., “Good Friday Service” at 6 p.m. Come visit us at the First United Methodist Church and Rev. William Brown will make you feel most welcome. First Presbyterian Church News: I thoroughly enjoyed attending services at the Presbyterian Church last Sunday. Rev. Ben’s sermon was “…Hear the word of the Lord” with scriptures from Ezekiel 37; Psalm 130; Romans 8; and John 11. Rev. Ben reminded us that during WWII many jobs were filled with women. Remember the movie starring Tom Hanks as manager of an all-girls baseball team during WWII? When one of his players lost the run, she began to cry. He said to her “Are you crying? No one cries in baseball!” It was a terrific movie. John’s gospel is often remembered as the seven signs: The 7th sign is “The Raising of Lazarus!” which Rev. Ben focused on. In Ezekiel, the Lord said “You will know when I raise you up and you will live. You will know

that I am the Lord.” Rev. Ben next told about Dr. Lyman Coleman, a prolific author, graduate of Baylor University & NY University. He wrote “Growth by Groups” which dealt with alcoholics anonymous. He wrote the following regarding the death of his wife: “The hardest thing was that she kept asking God to take her home.” He realized he was without his soulmate. He said he would keep the light on for the kids, and one day they would all be together again. Lovely story. Come visit our Presbyterian Church and Rev. Ben Arellano will make you feel welcome. Stillwaters Yacht Club News: The annual Stillwaters Yacht Club (SWYC) sponsored Blessing of the Fleet will take place on May 20 starting at 10:30 a.m. Members of SWYC, guests, and any public boaters are encouraged to meet in front of Harbor Pointe Marina with their boat (or riding in someone else’s boat) to participate in this ancient tradition. Decorated boats will add even more to the pageantry. Pastor Paul Messer of the Red Ridge United Methodist Church will offer the blessing. If you want to attend but do not have a boat, contact a board member and they will set you up with a ride. A $5 donation is suggested and is provided to a local charity. The best way to make this a successful event is through word of mouth, so please tell all of your boating friends they are welcome to join in this Blessing with us. If you have any questions

contact Bob Hunt, SWYC Power Fleet Captain, at 706-587-2166. Wellness Center News: We are so proud of all of those who have committed to healthier lifestyles for this year!

Will governor’s irrelevance mean Strange’s demise?

ots of folks are still mad about lame duck Gov. Robert Bentley naming Attorney General Luther Strange to Jeff Sessions’ Senate seat. If the sitting attorney general of a state openly states that he is investigating the governor for misfeasance and then that governor appoints that attorney general to the senate seat it looks funny. It gives new meaning to the word collusion. This brazen move has incensed legislators who have heard from their constituents back home. It has especially upset members of the House Judiciary Committee. They were asked to cease the impeachment proceedings last year in deference to Strange’s request to lead an investigation of the governor’s shenanigans. Needless to say

they have reinstated their impeachment proceedings against old Bentley with renewed vigor. Several legislators have taken issue with the governor’s calling for the senate seat election in 2018 rather than immediately. The constitution says the election should be held forthwith. That is open to interpretation. The more prudent path is 2018 since there are elections anyway. That is traditionally the way it has been done in the state in the past. However, most seats in bygone days were vacated by the death of one of our senators and the governor usually appointed the deceased senator’s widow for the remaining year or so on the term. She was considered a caretaker to the seat. There has been so much grief and acrimony to Strange’s

He changed his mind and met with Bentley and took the appointment. His trusted advisors convinced him that folks have short memories and that over the next year as a sitting U.S. Senator he can raise so much Washington campaign cash that he can outspend his opposition to such an extent that it will wash away the taint of the Bentley appointment. He may be right. That may be a good bet. However, folks may be smarter and more cognizant of bold brazen backroom deals than some think. Just ask Bill Baxley how that worked out in 1986 when some Democratic Party leaders got behind closed doors and selected Baxley to be the Democratic nominee over Charlie Graddick who got the most votes. The people were so incensed they elected an unknown Republican named Guy Hunt as governor. However, there is the

pragmatic side of the equation. During that 1986 debacle, Baxley, who was lieutenant governor, had become close with the King of Alabama politics, Gov. George Wallace. Wallace was in his last term as governor and Baxley had sensed a backlash might occur with such an audacious brazen move by his Democratic Party buddies, so he went to Wallace for his advice. Ole Wallace took a puff on his cigar and looked at Baxley wryly and said, “Bill you know what they call a governor who gets to be governor by a backroom deal?� Baxley asked “What?� Wallace said, “They call him governor.� See you next week.

Red Cross calls for blood donations Type O negative and AB STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

donors needed

The American Red Cross is issuing a call for type O negative and AB blood donors to make appointments to give after severe winter weather in some parts of the country caused about 250 Red Cross blood drives to cancel in March, resulting in more than 8,500 uncollected blood donations. Type O negative blood and type AB plasma are two of the most in-demand blood products by hospitals. Those who give can help patients locally or across the country as the Red Cross has the ability to move blood products where and when they are needed most. “All blood types are needed to meet the constant need of patients, and there is a significant need now for type O negative and AB donations to help some

of the most vulnerable patients,” said Alyson Barraza, communications program director for Connecticut Red Cross Blood Services. “We ask that you schedule an appointment to roll up a sleeve to help save a life in the coming days.” Donations help patients like Brady Prosser. He was severely burned in October while mowing near burning leaves. He received regular – sometimes daily – blood and plasma transfusions during his hospitalization. Type O negative blood can be transfused to patients with any blood type and is often needed in emergency situations when there isn’t time to determine a patient’s blood type. While less than 7 percent of the U.S. population has type O negative blood, hospitals depend on frequent O negative donations to ensure it’s always available for patients in need. Type O negative blood donors are an important part of the Red Cross trauma team. Type AB is the universal plasma type and can be transfused to patients of any blood type in an emergency. Plasma helps maintain blood pressure and

supplies critical proteins for clotting and immunity. Plasma can be donated through a blood donation. Eligible donors can learn more, find a donation opportunity and schedule an appointment by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). A blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also have to meet certain height and weight requirements.

Tallassee police, fire departments to get upgrades By CARMEN RODGERS Staff Writer

During last week’s city c council meeting, the th council approved a motion that will allow m the th city to purchase communication devices c for f the Tallassee Fire Department. D According to Mayor Johnny Hammock, these J devices are needed in d order to better protect o the th men and women who w severe in these positions.

some things around so that the fire department will be able to pay for this loan,” Hammock said. “He is really good at tightening his belt so that the city doesn’t have to spend money.” Tallassee’s police department will soon receive new equipment also, thanks to the Tallassee Community Development Corporation. The CDC has organized the Tallassee Police Department’s Blue Jean Ball. Sponsorships for this event are currently being accepted. “We have already raised around $20,000 in sponsorships,” said Hammock. “We still have a way to go, so it should turn out to be real good.” According to Hammock, the police department is in need of tactical equipment and a city-wide surveillance system. “A surveillance system that will monitor the main thoroughfare and our main access points into the city,” Hammock said. “This will help the police department tremendously.”

Hammock points out that a surveillance system would have been helpful in the search for the Tallassee mill fire suspect, or suspects, as well as the three individuals who robbed Hibbett Sports late last year. None of those suspects have been arrested to date. Hammock also hopes to better equip the force with gear needed to conduct raids. The council also approved a motion earlier this year to apply for a USDA grant that would add two additional patrol cars to the current fleet as well. Because the grant process can be lengthy, it could be some time before the new patrol cars are added. However, the fire department should receive the new communication radios in a shorter time frame. Because the Blue Jean Ball is set for May 11, the police department has to wait just over a month for their new equipment. If you are interested in this event, call 334-283-6578.

Tigers get swept in double-header Dadeville varsity loses pair of home-field baseball games to Holtville By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

The Tigers had a disappointing Saturday in front of the home crowd as the Dadeville varsity baseball team got swept in a doubleheader against Holtville. The Tigers started the day at McKelvey Park with a 7-3 loss to the Bulldogs. Dadeville made the first statement in the game by scoring a run in the second inning. The Tigers followed up with one run each in the third and sixth innings. Holtville rallied in the

fifth inning with two runs. The Bulldogs kept swinging with three more runs in the sixth and two in the seventh, proving too much for the Tigers to catch. Despite the loss, Dadeville junior Sam Stephenson led the Tigers at the plate with three hits, two of which were RBIs. Dadeville senior Landon Wilson took the loss for the Tigers. In seven innings at the mound he had six strikeouts. The disappointment continued as Dadeville lost the bottom half of Saturday’s doubleheader to Holtville 12-6.

The Bulldogs took command of the second game by scoring six runs in the first inning. The Tigers answered with a pair of runs in the second inning. But Holtville only added to their lead with three more runs of their own. Dadeville added three more runs in the fourth inning and one in the sixth. But the Tigers just couldn’t catch the Bulldogs, who added a run in the fourth inning and two in the sixth. “We left runners on base in key situations,” said Dadeville head coach Kyle Caldwell. “We also didn’t play well enough to get the wins.” The coach plans to use Saturday’s defeats as a

Dadeville senior Landon Tidwell led the Tigers at bat in the second contest with two hits. Dadeville junior Jeff Rice took the loss for the Tigers. In five and a third innings on the pitcher’s mound he only struck out two. Saturday’s losses drop the Tigers’ season record to 9-12 overall and 1-4 in the region.
