Concerns, updates highlight council meeting By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
A small handful of Dadeville residents were present during Tuesday night’s city council meeting to voice their concerns about issues facing the city, as well as presenting updates on where civic projects stood. Rayford Farrington, who volunteers spraying for the city, brought up how easy it was for Ordinance 484, dealing
with abandoned and overgrown lots and property, to be enforced. “The worst mistake we can make is to have an ordinance and not enforce it,” he said. Farrington said he wanted the city to enforce this ordinance, and also mentioned that it had been designed to make it very easy for any resident to file a complaint report about any possible violations of the ordinance. Similarly, Sandy Creek Estates
resident Stephen Badalamenti voiced his concerns about people dumping garbage in a certain spot of the subdivision, which had become a serious issue over the last several months. “The city workers do a good job in cleaning it up, but sometimes, it’s only a few hours later, the site is full of garbage again. I want to see this stopped,” he said. Mayor Wayne Smith said that Police Chief David Barbour was aware of
the problem, and that steps would be taken to resolve the issue, while also encouraging any citizens that may see someone dumping trash to report it to the police department. Dianna Porter was also on hand, giving the council an update on her beautification project at Keebler Park. During her initial work there, other small projects had popped up. Porter said she wanted to add signs along the See COUNCIL • Page 3
Potts reinstated as chief in Camp Hill only to be ousted again
County school board updated on trip abroad
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Things are getting stranger in the never-ending drama that the Camp Hill Police Department has become. At Monday night’s council meeting, Johnny Potts was reinstated as police chief with a strict six-month probation period by the council. The move comes just two weeks after Mayor Ezell Smith demoted Potts. The council spent 30 minutes in executive session and one and half hours in a public hearing discussing issues between Potts and Smith. But just moments after the meeting, Smith delivered a letter to Potts stating his services were no longer needed and granting him another hearing. “I gave him a termination letter after the meeting,” Smith said late Monday night. “It gives him a 10-day due process hearing.” The termination was immediate and Smith again named Danny Williams as interim chief as he was after the July 24 demotion of Potts. Smith stated in the meeting that she could no longer work with Potts and asked the council to back her. Smith presented her grounds for the demotion including conduct unbecoming an officer, refusal to obey orders from the mayor, refusing to return a car to a suspect who was “no billed” by a grand jury in a case and refusing to give the mayor the code to the lock at the police department. Potts refuted most of the claims. See POTTS • Page 3

a basic computer science class. “I want students and parents to know this isn’t a typing class. This isn’t about making a PowerPoint,� said AP Computer Science Principles teacher Bradley Bearden. “Students are going to make their own computer code, make their own apps, and learn how to stay cyber safe.� In addition to these activities, last year’s students took part in a coding competition against other high school students from across Alabama, and welcomed Dr. Anna
Wan from the University of Southern Mississippi, who gave them a handson experience with 3-D printers, according to Bearden. “This isn’t a traditional brick and mortar class. Students are active, they are exploring, and they are creating. The class is rigorous but interesting and there is something for everyone,� he said. AP Computer Science Principles is open to any Dadeville High School student who has completed Algebra I. The course can count as a math
credit, or as an elective to meet the career prep requirement. As it is an AP class, enrolled students have the chance to earn college credits from the course. Bearden said that future plans for computer science at Dadeville include adding a chapter of the national organization Girls Who Code, as well as a Computing Honor Society club. With so many jobs in the field of computer science being created every day, including Gov. Kay Ivey’s
recent claim of 4,700 such jobs averaging an $82,000 per year salary available in Alabama alone, having these skill sets will pay dividends after high school. “We have a lot of talent, academic talent in Tallapoosa County. The students in our community will live up to the challenge, but they just need the opportunity,� Bearden said. “Encourage your girls to take the class. Encourage your athletes to take this class. Encourage every child to take this class.�

Board The group will be traveling with EF Education First, an international company based in Switzerland that specializes in educational tours for students, taking them across the country and around the world. Talton said the window for their trip was early June 2018, but that an exact date had not yet been officially decided on. Talton took time to address a number of concerns that had been voiced, including insurance policies for the trip, like if a student had to cancel or was in need of medical care while overseas, and especially security. “The guides EF uses are from the cities we’ll be going to. They know these cities like the back of their hand,” he said. “EF is also in contact with authorities, monitoring any situation.” Following his presentation, the board wanted to recognize Talton for engaging his students in this way. “I want to applaud you for taking the initiative in doing this. What an educational opportunity this is,” Superintendent Joe Windle said. Board member Matilda Woodyard-Hamilton said she was very serious about wanting to help with the trip financially, though she stressed that, in order to help out as much as she could, she wanted to know what she could do as early as possible. Once the meeting agenda had been amended,

the board discussed selling off some of the system’s older buses. Ten buses, two of which were designed for students with special needs, would be sold at auction through Southeast Auction Company in Tuscaloosa, with the funds raised going back into transportation. A motion to approve a contract with Southeast passed. The buses would be taken to their lot in Tuscaloosa for the auction, and the auction company would be in regular contact with the board about the auction. The board also handled the following matters during Monday night’s meeting:
• Minutes from the meetings on July 10 and July 24 were approved. • A resolution declaring September as “Attendance Awareness Month” was approved. • Payment for the July bills was approved. • The board approved the monthly financial report. • A special called meeting was announced for Monday, Aug. 28 at 5 p.m. for the purpose of discussing budgetary matters. • Resignations from Dadeville High School PE Teacher and bus driver Rodney Taylor and Reeltown Elementary School Pre-K Auxiliary Teacher Brittany Alexander were approved. • The board approved hiring Matthew Garrett as a social studies teacher at Dadeville High School, Jeff Hardin as a paraprofessional at Reeltown Elementary School, Summer Bryant to be a Pre-K auxiliary teacher at Dadeville Elementary School, Christie Winslett as a Pre-K auxiliary teacher
at Reeltown Elementary School, Amy Ledbetter to be a CNP worker at Reeltown and Phillip Strickland and Joe Abercrombie for the positions of bus driver within the system. • The transfer of Catina Pogue from a SIMS operator at Dadeville High School to become a counselor and SIMS operator at Dadeville High School. • A number of Purchase Service Agreements for special needs therapists were approved: Debbie Brewer, Faith Berryman, Michelle McArthur, Linda Andrews, Richelle Rice and Clarice Davis. • An updated Data Governance Policy regarding how student data would be secured and who would have access to it was approved. • It was reported the Tallapoosa County Commission had received the board’s resolution regarding the one-cent sales tax. “We have done what we needed to do, what was required of us,” Windle said. • The timeline for the Capital Improvement Plan was announced as being up for discussion during the September work session on Tuesday, Sept. 5. • The board recognized Transportation Supervisor Len Carter for being nominated as an outstanding fleet management professional, one of 65 that would be honored in the August issue of School Transportation News Magazine.
The next regularly scheduled meeting of the Tallapoosa County Board of Education will be Monday, Sept. 11 at 5 p.m. in the board room of the Board of Education Building.
Potts “I would like the council to support my decision,” Smith told the council. “I cannot work with him.” Discussion amongst council members suggested they were uncomfortable with demotion. “I just want to be fair,” Council Member Cliff Wilkerson said. “I got to look at what is right and what is not,” Council Member Dean Bonner said. “There are some issues here. Is it illegal?” The discussion also appeared to have many on the council believing that it was more of a personal issue than a personnel matter. The council wanted to reinstate Potts with the condition that if there is any conflict between Potts and Smith for them to come to the council immediately. Smith is allowed to vote with the council and when the motion came to the council for a vote to reinstate, all council members voted to return Potts to chief of police while Smith voted no. Potts was eager to put things behind him to move forward. “I am a bigger man,” Potts said. “I can work with

anyone.” Potts was represented by Opelika attorney Courtney Murchinson Monday night who questioned Smith and town attorney Charles Gillenwaters about matters leading to Potts’ July 24 demotion in the hearing at the council meeting. A preliminary hearing was continued for Lt. Derrick Coley, who was terminated by Smith July 24 to allow Coley to
present a recording. Coley was also represented by Murchinson. Coley’s matter is to be taken up at the council’s next meeting, Aug. 21 at 6 p.m. Both Coley and Potts had previously been suspended by Smith and reinstated by the council. When Smith demoted Potts July 24, she soon named Danny Williams as interim police chief.

Everybody needs a hug now and then Local educators create welcoming I environment
M
onday marked the beginning of another school year for students in Alexander City and Tallapoosa County and if early success is any indication, students could be in for a banner year. The year began with optimism and very few issues as students of all ages woke up bright and early Monday morning, got ready for the day and returned to school for another academic year. Parents dropped their children off, students made their way to their classrooms and worked to begin settling into a new routine. Despite the issues that so often arise on the first day of school, educators in the city and county systems believed Monday was a successful day for students and teachers alike. “Overall, I think (the first day of school) has gone very well. There have been no major issues I’ve heard of other than the usual first day things,” Alexander City Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper said Monday. In the county, it was much the same story. “The first day was smooth,” said Tallapoosa County Superintendent Joe Windle. “There were very few issues the principals saw today.” It was encouraging to see how well things flowed on a day when confusion is understandable. In Alexander City, the police department was out in full force, directing traffic at all campuses. Event the captains were seen helping direct parents where to park. School staff was curbside, welcoming students and helping parents with any questions they had. Both Cooper and Windle spent portions of their Monday going to the different schools in their respective systems, taking a personal look at how students across the board were adjusting to being back in the classroom. The way the first day was handled shows what sets our local schools apart. It’s that personal touch and the hard work of educators to create and open and friendly environment that encourages family involvement and academic success. Congratulations on a great first day and here’s hoping this is the best school year in history.
f you know me, chances are we have hugged. I don’t discriminate. I even hug people wearing Bama attire. I’m a hugger. It’s who I am. There are many types of hugs. There is what I call a normal hug, which can vary in length. Then there is the side hug, which is often accompanied by a pat on the back. Rounding out the hugs are the bear hug, the bro hug, and the awkward hug. When I was in high school, there were several girls who I hugged daily. Our relationships were completely platonic, but I sure did like hugging those pretty young ladies. These were normal. The length of the embrace varied depending on what they were going through. They smelled good, too. When I was a kid, we attended a small country church in Tallapoosa County. Most members of the church were either kin, branch kin, or kin to someone they were kin to by marriage. That’s a lot of kin. When the preaching was over, we’d gather outside and fellowship before going our separate ways for that inevitable Sunday feast. Before doing so, a lot of hugging and hand-shaking took place. These were mostly side hugs. I’ve never been a fan of the bear hug. I just don’t need someone wrapping their arms around me, shaking me around like they’re about to sink their canines into my skull. If you see me, don’t do it. I’ll defend myself by any

means necessary. I seldom leave home without bear spray. You just never know. Then there is the bro hug, which is described as a manly hug between two dudes who are cool with each other. Normal hugs between guys are acceptable, depending on the length and the circumstances. If it’s at a funeral, length is irrelevant. If it’s at the Piggly Wiggly, you have to make it quick. I often turn my bro hug into a normal hug once the initial embrace is complete. I don’t think side hugs are ever acceptable among men. It’s one thing to stand at a guy’s side with your arm around him for a second while you catch up, but it’s another thing to embrace and have your hips rub. Dudes, don’t side hug me. I have bear spray. Don’t forget about the awkward hug. It can sneak up on you. Sometimes the hugger goes in for the normal hug but the huggee shifts their body into a side hug position midhug. If you’re not prepared, it can turn awkward in a hurry. The normal hug can also go awry when the heads of each party aren’t on the same sheet of music. Normally, each head goes towards the right shoulder. It’s just natural.
But sometimes, the huggee haphazardly hugs toward the wrong shoulder, and the two heads converge upon each other as if they’re about to lock lips. It’s disturbingly embarrassing and awkward. Always aim your head toward the right shoulder. Trust me. Speaking of hugs that go awry, last week, I went in for a bro hug and that’s when things got weird. The initial part of the hug went off as planned, but then something happened. We both rotated our heads in such a way that our cheeks were touching. We were cheek to cheek for what seemed like an eternity. It’s like we had magnets in our faces and couldn’t escape the magnetic force. I felt helpless. A friend of mine who is a subject matter expert on the bro hug says you’ve got to get in and out with shoulder contact only. He suggests keeping the head lateral or there is going to be unfortunate cheek contact. A little head rotation away from contact provides for extra protection. Hugging is wonderful and can go a long way in this chaotic world, but there is a right way and wrong way to do it. Now that you know, go out and hug someone today. We all can use one. Everybody needs a hug. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer. He can be reached at jody@jodyfuller.com.

Our
Trump’s vacation: Is it a reversal or is he being kind?
I
t looks like I won’t be the only one on vacation over the next few days. President Donald Trump is also taking a break. He’s worked so hard, you know. With all those early morning Tweetstorms, I’m sure his thumbs are rubbed raw and need time to heal. Of course, my vacation is only three days. Trump’s? Seventeen days! That said, I do think that I chose a better vacation destination. After all, had you rather go to Orange Beach or New Jersey? There won’t be a world-class golf course where I’m headed, but there will be a world-class sand trap. And I plan to get stuck in it. Furthermore, I won’t have anyone back home investigating me and/or my staff. There is no special counsel looking into The Wetumpka Herald’s dealings with Russians or anyone else. Oh, there may be a few folks who are, for whatever reason, angry with us. There’s evidence of that on our Facebook page. But we can sleep at night knowing that we’ve done things on the up and up. No fake news here. And no grand jury issuing subpoenas to anyone connected with us for any meeting we’ve been a part of. Which brings me to a question: Is Trump truly taking, as his spokesperson says, a “working” vacation?

Prior to Randolph County, he served as an assistant principal at Heard County Elementary School near Franklin, Georgia. The first day of the school year brought the normal glitches for teachers and students alike. “The first day was smooth,” said Tallapoosa County Superintendent Joe Windle. “There were very little issues the principals saw today.” Windle said he saw a number of parents in the schools registering their students, but there were
no major problems he witnessed while out and about, touring the schools and getting his own look at how things were going. “Transportation and student schedules are the two main issues you usually face,” he said. “No transportation issues have been reported, and that’s good news. “I got a text from one of our principals, telling me today went as smooth as silk. Another one texted me and said this was the best opening he’s ever had.” Despite the minor issues, Windle was pleased with what he saw on the first day of school. “I saw a lot of excitement and a lot of enthusiasm,” Windle added.

Kiwanis in cases of those arrested on charges of animal cruelty and dog fighting, they are being prosecuted and serving sentences instead of simply receiving a slap on the wrist, as many had gotten in the past. There are still a number of issues facing pets Chandler sees on a regular basis, including dogs that were rescued from fighting rings and those kept chained outdoors or in a miniscule pen. “There is an ordinance in Alexander City where dogs cannot be kept outside on a chain, but once you get right outside the city limits, there is no such law,” she said. Following her presentation, several members of the club

asked Chandler questions, including the situation with the perception of breeds like pit bulls, identification for stray animals, and whether or not she had ever broken a car window to get to a dog in a hot car. “I have once, about 20 years ago when I was in California,” she said. Pit bulls have been given their negative stereotypes because of how people have used them in dog fighting rings, according to Chandler. “It’s not the dogs themselves, it’s the training the dogs receive,” she said. Chandler expressed the belief that more pet owners should utilize some form of
identification for their animals, which would help animal control and the shelter out when picking up strays. Whether using a collar and tag with the most up-to-date information or even the newer route of putting an information chip in the pet, she said that the use of identification is virtually nonexistent, and that needs to change. In response to a question about donating to the shelter, Chandler said that any sort of donation, be it monetary or items like towels and laundry detergent, would be accepted. “There are good things happening,” she said. “It’s a slow process, but good things are happening.”

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
— Richard White Dadeville coach
Day 1 of football practice used to be a really big deal. It was the first chance for players to dust off their football pants and stretch their shoulder pads over their heads. But with new AHSAA regulations in the last few years, not that much is different on the first couple days of practice from what teams have been doing throughout the summer.
“There’s really not a whole lot of difference,” Benjamin Russell coach Danny Horn said. “Just with it being the first official day, there’s a little bit more excitement in the air. Trouble is, everyone looks good in helmets and shorts by now, so we’ll have to see what the rest of the week brings.” The first days are more of a heat acclimation period with players allowed to wear only helmets, shorts and T-shirts.

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
If Matt Johnson is asked which game is most important on Reeltown’s football schedule, he’ll pretty much always give the same answer: “The next one.” This year, that means Notasulga is the first game the Rebels have circled on their calendar, and the tone could be set early this season. Reeltown came out of the first two weeks without a win last year, so getting off to a good start could be key for the highlyanticipated Rebels. Week Zero: Notasulga Blue Devils Although this isn’t a region game, Notasulga and Reeltown sit less than 10 miles apart, and the Rebels have no more familiar opponent than the Blue Devils. The teams have met 66 times over the years, and Reeltown has won 40 of those matchups. After taking a two-year hiatus, Reeltown hosted Notasulga last year and the Blue Devils came out with a 25-6 victory to start the season. Expectations are fairly high for both teams. Notasulga returns allstate wide receiver Walter Tatum and is coming off a postseason appearance, but the Rebels bring back some of their best skill players in Tre Hughley and Eric Shaw. Although this is a road trip, fans can expect a good crowd to kick off the 2017 season. Week One: Dadeville Tigers It seems impossible to talk about Reeltown’s football season without mentioning Dadeville. This rivalry game fills the stands, and it helps that it’ll be played on Thursday night so even more area football fans can make their way down to Reeltown. The Rebels have beaten Dadeville just twice in the last 10 years and both of those wins have come by a touchdown or less. On the flip side, the Tigers have

had big victories over Reeltown, especially in the last two years. Much of Dadeville’s success last year came thanks to Margarius Buchanan, so there are some questions surrounding the Tigers’ possibilities this year. Both teams are still deciding about their starting quarterbacks, and this game could come down to which squad worked out its early-season jitters better in Week Zero. Week Six: Ranburne Bulldogs Although Ranburne finished with just a 2-8 record last season, it was a powerhouse in Region 3 Class 2A since it returned in 2015. For some reason, this matchup
always seems to be a good one. The last three meetings have been decided by less than a touchdown, and Reeltown had a come-frombehind victory last season, taking its first lead of the game with just four minutes remaining. Like the Rebels, Ranburne returns some of its top skill players in running backs Sam Calvert and Aaron Benefield and wide receivers Landon Woodard and Jake Burson but the Bulldogs also graduated their quarterback. The Ranburne game marks the halfway point of Reeltown’s region schedule and also is one of the final games at home as Reeltown travels for three of its last four outings.

Dadeville youth programs a big hit By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
This summer, Dadeville assistant football coach Michael Taylor organized not one but two free youth sports programs. The first was the second annual summer training program, which allowed kids to take part in a myriad of sports training on Monday and Tuesday evenings all summer long. The second was a new venture in which Taylor teamed up to form a free gym designed for youngsters to get in shape through lifting weights. The training program came to a close on Monday, and Taylor couldn’t wipe the smile off his face. “The goal I had, we accomplished way beyond what I thought,” Taylor said. “We averaged about 50 kids per day, sometimes more, and the kids never quit coming. The parents bought into it, and now they understand their kids a little more.” During the training camp, kids were involved in everything from running and conditioning to learning fundamentals of different sports. But not only was the focus on sports, it was about teaching the kids respect, sportsmanship, teamwork and discipline. “The kids found out they’re not athletes, they’re student-athletes, so they know to apply themselves at school,” Taylor said. “They learned

a lot about their bodies and how to respect your teammates and coaches. The main thing was discipline. One thing (Dadeville head football) coach (Richard) White and I talk about a lot is his vision is to get the younger kids to come through the program, so I learn a lot from him and apply that to the camp.” Because it was the second year of the training camp, expectations were pretty high after last year’s success. But what Taylor was really surprised about was how well the gym took off. With the help of donations and parent volunteers, he was able to accommodate between 25 and 30 kids
on a nearly-daily basis. “The gym has been a great success, it’s crazy,” Taylor said. “I was thinking it was going to be something hard for them as far as lifting weights, but it’s something different and they want to go every day. That was a blessing to me to see kids really wanting to work hard.” While the high school and JV season will soon become a priority for Taylor, he definitely plans to continue these programs next year. Parents have also been asking if Taylor can try to find a way to do some kind of youth-oriented program during the year, so he said he has some ideas in the works.
Reeltown begins volleyball team By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
After the success of Reeltown’s track and field team, which was resurrected during the spring season, it’s easy to see why the Rebels are excited about yet another new sports program. On Monday, the first day of fall sports practice, Reeltown will hit the courts for its first ever volleyball season. “In the fall especially, we just wanted to give the kids another option,” Reeltown athletic director Matt Johnson said. “Band is big at Reeltown and they do a great job, so does cheerleading, but we wanted to get another sport for our female athletes.” Kelli Hilyer, the Reeltown softball coach, will be the head woman in charge, and she brings both playing and assistant coaching experience to the table. Because of her success with the Rebels’ softball team, Johnson approached Hilyer near the end of the 2016-17 school year and asked if she’d be interested in helping start a volleyball program. She began with a simple sign-up sheet and said the response was overwhelming. “A lot of the girls here have never played before, so we’re starting from scratch but it’s been amazing,” Hilyer said. “At first, we were asking them, ‘Has anybody played?’ No. ‘Has anyone ever watched volleyball?’ No. But now, they’ll come in saying
Reeltown ranked 11th in preseason poll
they watched a video on YouTube or something.” So many girls signed up for volleyball the team even had to host tryouts and make some cuts to get the varsity and JV numbers down to a total of 24. Throughout the summer, Hilyer has been hosting optional workouts and the Rebels even traveled to Benjamin Russell last week for a series of scrimmages. “We played three games, so from the first one to the third one, they were moving better and doing some good things,” Hilyer said. Although the response has been great so far, there are definitely some challenges that come with starting a new team. Reeltown will also be launching a wrestling team in the winter, and in addition to funding, Johnson said the biggest obstacle has actually been facilities. “Volleyball isn’t as bad because we do have a gym which nobody is using except for cheer, and they are working great together and around each other in the fall,” Johnson said. “But we only have one gym, so in the winter now we’ll have wrestling and (boys and girls) basketball.” Also, especially in the case of wrestling, travel expenses will be a problem, and a wrestling mat could cost several thousand dollars. Reeltown’s volleyball play will face many similar teams that the softball teams play, including Horseshoe Bend, Lanett, LaFayette, Beulah and Beauregard. The Rebels also have
matches with Central Coosa and Holtville, but in terms of scheduling home games, it’s still uncertain. The wrestling team will be on the road for its entire season. But as the track and field team discovered, it seems as if much of the community is receptive to helping out with fundraising and donations. “It costs a lot of money to start a program — uniforms, equipment, anything you can think of,” Johnson said. “Last year, we kinda padded that fund so we could have something to fall back on now, but all of our athletics are funded by Reeltown, so we have to raise our own money. Coaches and kids have to get involved to raise money because we’re not getting money from anywhere else.” Although there are certainly challenges, Reeltown is excited to hit the ground running, especially after seeing the team grow throughout the summer months. “I just want to make sure they know the fundamentals and improve every day and every game,” Hilyer said. “Like any sport, it may take one person one week or two and they’ve got it, so it’s just amazing how everybody is catching on. The girls have really latched onto it.” Johnson said, “We have great kids at Reeltown, and the expectations are here. Academics are high; we compete very well in everything we do, so the expectations are there for them to do well in anything we do. We’re not going to start it just to be mediocre. We want to be the best. That’s the expectations and I think they’ve done a great job.”
The Alabama State Writers Association preseason football poll was released Tuesday, and it seems expectations are high around the state for the Reeltown Rebels. In Class 2A, Reeltown was voted just one spot outside of the top 10. The Rebels, who return a corps offensive group, received a total of 17 top10 votes. The only other team on the rankings list was Horseshoe Bend, which was also on the others receiving votes list in Class 2A.

First day the same day did quickly get players into a routine. That routine will change a bit, though, as the AHSAA regulates how much time players must spend in shorts and helmets prior to putting on the pads. The first two days are helmets only followed by two days of shoulder pads before Friday when players can wear full pads. “The first day of practice now is not as big a deal as it used to be because you’re (wearing) the same thing you have been all summer,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “But now, when you add in the first day

of practice and the first day of school, we’re getting our routine down.” For Dadeville, it was a new feeling, though. The Tigers’ helmets just arrived late Sunday night, so they weren’t able to accomplish as much as coach Richard White would’ve hoped during the summer. Another odd theme in the area is low numbers. Horseshoe Bend had 44 between varsity and JV with about 20 of those as anticipated varsity players. Benjamin Russell had the lowest number in Horn’s tenure with 66, and Dadeville also had a much
lower roster size than usual with just 40 on the first day. “Kids just don’t want to commit to hard work and what it takes to be a football player,” White said. “Hopefully down the road somewhere, there will be a tick in those kids’ heads and we’ll have our numbers get back where they’re supposed to be.” Coaches like Horn and Johnson weren’t too worried about their numbers, though. “We can only play 11 at time,” Horn said. “I’ve won a lot of championships with 35 or 40 players, so it is what it is.” The air surrounding football
was also a bit different, quite literally. While many coaches and players are used to sweltering heat and sluggish humidity, the first day of practice barely touched 90 degrees and the humidity stayed relatively low. Most coaches hope that changes, though. “(The weather) started bearing down in July a bit, but overall for the summer, it wasn’t bad at all,” Johnson said. “I’m interested to see what these next couple weeks bring and I’m hoping it does bring a little bit of heat so we can really start getting that
Summer Although many teams do voluntary workouts throughout the summer, this is a mandatory period for kids wanting to participate in football. “These two days will look very similar to what we did in the summer,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “We’ll do a lot of fundamentals and mental stuff along with a lot of walkthroughs and conditioning in the end. Wednesday, we’ll change it up a bit and keep climbing from there.” Wednesday and Thursday, players are allowed to wear shells, and Friday will feel more like the

conditioning going when we put these pads on.” White said, “It can be a good thing if it stays like this, but if it turns out hot the week of the game, we’re not going to be used to it. Hopefully we’ll have a little hotter weather so we can get used to the heat and humidity.” As for practice itself, it was much of the same. Teams have been used to running drills, going through fundamentals and reviewing situations throughout the summer. With one more day of helmets only, today seems as if it will continue to be more of the same.

old “first day,” when teams can don their entire uniforms. Depending on the team, various levels of intensity were apparent throughout Tallapoosa County’s first day of practice. While Reeltown had an abbreviated schedule due to picture day coinciding with the opening day of practice, Benjamin Russell had a militarylike operation with players moving from station to station on a strict schedule. The two-hour session had a lot of hustle and a lot of reps and lessons in form, fundamentals and technique. Horseshoe Bend, which had its
first official practice under new head coach Josh Averett, didn’t have quite as much as energy as Averett would’ve hoped. “The first day of practice is a day to have fun, but I’m looking for a lot of energy and folks flying around with some enthusiasm,” Averett told his players. “I know it’s the first day of school and the first day of practice, but we want that energy.” Dadeville coach Richard White and his staff were also demanding quite a bit of energy. The Tigers were hindered this summer because their helmets didn’t
arrive until Sunday evening. White said that combined with a low roster number will mean for an intense three weeks of camp prior to the first game on Aug. 25. “No doubt it’ll be a little more intense,” White said. “We’re depth-challenged right now, so we have a lot of kids that are going to have to play both ways and even some (special teams). That’s something they’re not used to doing, so we’re going to have to get them in the best shape of their lives.” Because this three-week period of practice is so regulated by the AHSAA, it’s that much more
important for coaches to have efficient practices and use their time wisely. “You also gotta schedule around the weather,” Johnson said. “You’re only allowed a certain number of minutes in shells and with full contact in pads. You have 120 minutes total, so you gotta fit that allotted time to make sure that fifth day is beneficial for you. You don’t want to come out Friday with a chance of rain and practice for 15 minutes and get nothing out of it.” Because at this point in the offseason, every second counts.
