10-year-old girl dies after being hit by truck

Report released in June 19 fatal boat crash Lighting and lookout cited in Lake Martin collision By Mitch Sneed Record Editor

Inadequate lighting on the part of a pontoon boat and “improper lookout” by the driver of a bass boat were cited as contributing factors in a June 19 Lake Martin crash that left an Alexander City man dead. Alexander City’s Stanley Sides, 66, was killed after a bass boat piloted by John Kenneth Stewart, 45, of Dadeville, struck the pontoon boat that Sides was in control of at the time of the crash. The cause of death was determined to be multiple blunt force traumas by the Alabama Department or Forensic Sciences. Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and its Marine Division conducted the investigation and made the report public Monday. It was 8:55 p.m. when the boats collided in an area said to be in the river channel between Dennis Creek and Mallard Point, and the report indicates that the bass boat was involved in a fishing tournament and was traveling in excess of 40 mph at the time of collision. The pontoon with eight people on board was moving less than 10 mph after the group had gone from Shady Bay to the Wind Creek area to get pizza. The report indicated that the group was eating as they idled back to their point of origin, according to the report. What caused the accident? See REPORT, Page A10

“The Pig” is alive and kicking again in Dadeville. “I have been shopping here all my life,” customer Vicky Monroe said. “It is wonderful to have another choice in town.” The Dadeville Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting ceremony with town, county and state officials on hand Wednesday at the Dadeville Piggly Wiggly at 132 E. LaFayette St. in Dadeville as the store marked its reopening under new owner Mike Patel. “It is my first grocery store,” Patel said. “I was not planning on going this big, See STORE, Page A3

A tragic accident on Highway 49 South in Dadeville Friday night claimed the life of a 10-year-old Alexander City girl. Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour confirmed that a 10-year-old girl was struck and killed by a Ford F-150 Pickup driven by a 16-year-old Dadeville male teen at 10:40 p.m. near the intersection of Highway 49 South and Aster Road. The girl, whose name was withheld, was pronounced dead a short time later, Barbour said. “There was no excessive speed or alcohol involved,” Barbour said. “The accident is still under investigation, but all indications are that it is just a tragic accident.” Barbour said that the girl was visiting a home on one side of the road and was attempting to cross Highway 49 to get to a car that was waiting to pick her up on the other side of the road. “Apparently she was just intent on getting across the road to get to where her aunt was waiting,” Barbour said. “In the rush to get across the road, she apparently didn’t see the truck approaching and ran right in front of it. He didn’t even have a chance to do anything to avoid her.” Barbour said there were no charges filed, but said due to the ages of those involved, names were being withheld until the investigation is complete. “Our hearts and prayers go out to all of those involved in this accident,” Barbour said. “It is one that will have an impact on all who were involved.”

Often, teachers are honored at the end of a particular scholastic year. However, one church in rural Tallapoosa County has been bucking that trend for half a dozen years by saluting area teachers and school officials at the beginning of the school year. Beulah Baptist Church, located between Reeltown and Union, presented its sixth annual “Teachers Appreciation Luncheon” on Saturday. Dozens of attendees came from school systems in Reeltown, Dadeville, Tallassee, Alexander City, and Opelika and included Tallapoosa County Superintendent of Education Joe Windle and Reeltown School principal Tom Cochran. Event director Dottie Carnes wel-

comed guests and Rev. Tim Davis offered a prayer. Following lunch, remarks were made by Micki Knox and a message in song was provided by Emily Urqhart. The speaker was Lindsey Zimmer, a graduate of Reeltown High School who was the recipient of multiple scholarships and presently attends the University of Alabama. She was introduced by Faye Orton. Carnes and Orton supervised door prize drawings and introduced teachers. Supplies were provided to attending educational personnel and the event director was appreciative of the support of area businesses that donated supplies, as well as financial supporters. “I start working on this around April,” Carnes said of the event, “and I’m already looking forward to next year.”

Camp Hill’s town finances questioned by councilmember By Cliff Williams Record Staff Writer

Finances are on the minds of many in Camp Hill especially since the IRS seized funds when they froze the town’s accounts. “I want to figure out why our income is down between $150,000 and $160,000 since February,” Council member Anthony Pogue said at Monday’s meeting. Members of the council wanted to know if the town had credit cards. Town staff said that the only credit card the town has is from Walmart. The issue of finances came up after the council started to look over bills from the parks and recreation department. It was discussed that the department did not have the funds in its budget to cover the bills and that in order to pay the bills the general fund would half to cover what the department did not have. The issue will likely come up again when the council’s finance committee

scheduled a meeting for Aug. 24 at 10 a.m. to discuss financial reports for the town’s departments. Mayor Danny Evans said that the town was able to pay its bills and pay its employees. “Yes, we are able to pay things,” Evans said after the meeting. “The IRS thing hurt but we are doing okay.” Evans also commended the work of the Utilities Department, all of whom were in attendance. “They work very hard,” Evans said. “They do a great job for the town.” The council heard from a business owner that is opening a convenience store in town. “It will be a stop and shop,” Council Member Ezelle Smith said. “It will be like a convenience store minus the gas.” Two Camp Hill residents spoke to the council, one asking for the termination of Robert Shelley and also from Frank Holley who presented the council with a petition

that is circulating town asking for Mayor Danny Evans resignation or impeachment by the council. The council also:  heard from Council Member Ezelle Smith as she thanked everyone that donated to the Camp Hill Library Back To School program where the library gave away school supplies.  heard from Will York on the status of the emergency siren saying that it was being shipped to allow insurance to verify that lightning had struck it.  approved the minutes from the Aug. 3 meeting.  heard from Police Chief Johnny Potts about the town qualifying for a grant to purchase two Tahoes for the department. The grant would require the town to match about $3,500 for each vehicle. These would replace the department’s 2010 Dodge Chargers. The next council meeting is scheduled for Sept. 7 at 6 p.m.

plans for the future of the property and has removed the acreage from the list of natural and undeveloped land designated for recreational use in the terms of their pending license agreement with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. “Maybe down the road, we will reopen the marina or allow someone to reopen the marina, but it’s really too early to make any plans for the property,” the spokesman said.

While the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has not yet issued an operating license allowing a fall extension of Lake Martin’s summer pool, Alabama Power Company’s manager of reservoir management Tuesday said that hardwon aspect of the relicensing application probably wouldn’t have been an issue this year. “There have been scattered showers, but conditions have been relatively dry this year. In fact, we’ve kicked in the drought plan,” said Alan Peeples. “Conditions are dry, and we’re seeing that on all of our lakes. That’s why you see the little bit lower water level. We are down about 9/10 of a foot.” The power company has not initiated the annual drawdown ahead of schedule, Peeples said, but the lower water level is an indication of use for hydropower generation coupled with dry conditions. The power company’s manager of hydro services, Jim Crew, said conditions have been met in three of the four criteria needed for implementation of the fall extension, but the wetter than normal requirements for the extension have not been met. “We’ve been running a trial evaluation for a few months now, pretending the license was in place, to set up our model for evaluating the criteria. It’s preparatory work, really, and as of today, the criteria has not been met,” Crew said. Official evaluation of the conditions begins Sept. 1 and will continue for 30 days, Crew said. If the criteria are met at any time in that 30-day period, the extension could go into effect. FERC is still in the normal response period of three to six months for consideration of the final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) their staffers released April 2, Crew said. That EIS recommended the fall extension, as well as 3 more feet of water in the winter pool level of the lake. FERC’s lack of action on the power company’s request to renew the operating license for Martin Dam is unrelated to an

extension, evaluation of the conditions will stop, and we’ll be in it for the duration. Unless we’re in a drought, once we implement the extension, we won’t go back. We’re all geared toward trying to be in that mode of keeping the reservoir higher,” Crew said.

11-page letter Crew filed in the matter at the end of last month, he said. “The letter was to clarify, to help FERC address any misinformation in their EIS. Normally, we point out the things in the EIS that might cause a problem for us or for them after the license has been issued. We did that before this time, but it has nothing to do with the timing. They didn’t request comments. We were just taking a proactive approach,” Crew said. Among the issues addressed in the letter, Crew said, was the removal of some lands in the recreational classification that do not have access to the lake; a clarification on the consultation process for implementation of the drought plan; and a clarification of the fall extension evaluation process. “In the EIS, they said the fall extension could be started and then stopped if conditions change, but we said that once the conditions have been met for the fall

We can help make area safe

ll things considered, Tallapoosa County is a pretty safe place to live. The crime rate here is low when compared to many larger cities and metropolitan counties and violent crime in particular is not common. While local police departments and the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department do a pretty good job in keeping our area safe, recent headlines have again underscored the importance of the public in fighting crimes. An arrest was made in a pair of burglaries at area convenience stores thanks to a citizen’s tip. A concerned citizen recognized saw a photo from a surveillance camera and identified the suspect. An arrest was made and a suspected thief is off the streets. Earlier this week, the Tallapossa County Narcotics Task Force conducted a search warrant at a residence after making controlled buys based on tips from senior citizens in the neighborhood. The result was four arrests and the seizure of drugs, cash and a gun. Those kind of headlines are refreshing. At a time when many people complain about their neighborhoods not being safe, these people did something about it. Local law enforcement officials have dedicated energy and manpower in several community policing initiatives. They have DARE or community resource officers in area schools. They do demonstrations and attend festivals and events showing residents how they can help law enforcement. Sherriff Jimmy Abbett has worked with several communities to help set up neighborhood watch programs. “Now a neighborhood watch sign won’t catch anybody, but it lets would-be burglars know that someone in that neighborhood is watching,” Abbett said earlier this summer. “Law enforcement officers can’t be in every neighborhood all the time, but we can guide, educate and train residents. More eyes and ears and information benefit the entire neighborhood.” Abbett is right. We encourage all residents to become active in doing their part in keeping our area a great place to call home.

Editorial Always playing with integrity

was in Orange Beach the latter half of last week speaking at a conference for the Alabama Association of Accessing Officials (AAAO.) You may know them better as “tax folks.” Integrity is essential to the foundation of the AAAO’s very existence. Per their website, the AAAO was formed to inculcate and stimulate a high degree of integrity and justice in the administration of tax laws in the State of Alabama. I provided 45 minutes of comedy following their lunch but also touched on several topics including purpose and integrity. Later in the day, many of the attendees gathered out back for a washer toss tournament, which was described as “just an old redneck game” by some. Fortunately, I was invited to compete in this tournament by my lifelong family friend Barry Ingram of Dadeville. I’d never played washer toss. In fact, I’d never heard of it. They said it was a lot like corn hole, although that’s another redneck game that I have yet to play. Come to think of it, I’ve never tipped a cow either. What kind of redneck am I? There were 16 teams of two competing in the doubleelimination tournament. I was paired with John, a vendor

JODY FULLER Columnist

from Chattanooga. John was skilled and had apparently thrown a washer or two in his life. He spent several years in the army, too, so we were a great team. The washers, standard round metallic washers, 2.5 inches in diameter, were to be thrown at a wooden box containing cups worth 1, 3, and 5 points, respectively. If the washer found its way into the cup, the team scored the points. The games were played to 11. John carried our team to our first victory. I was better by our second win, but John was still the man. We lost our third game, and I was certainly to blame. After that, I found my groove and helped carry us all the way to the championship game. We were up 6-5. It was my toss. From at least 10 feet away, my first toss of the round skipped right into the 5 cup. We were winners. All I had to do was throw the last two washers. At this point, the washer had to touch the top of the box or we would go back

to zero. I got careless, and my second throw failed to hit the top of the box. That was the only time that happened all day. I should’ve stretched. Our opponents asked if it touched the top, and I shook my head and slowly answered, “No. No, it didn’t.” One of our opponents, George Jones, yes, George Jones, extended his hand and said, “That’s that integrity you were talking about today.” George then skipped two of his next three washers into the 3 hole as he and “Tammy” cruised on to championship glory. Needless to say, George was hotter than a two-dollar pistol. Winning the championship that day was not in the cards for us, but some things are much more important than winning. The next night at the awards banquet, John and I were awarded $50 apiece for coming in second place. I had no idea there was a monetary prize. Hey, we wound up winning after all.

Will Justice Dept. indict Hillary?

illary Clinton, after first refusing to, announced last week that she “turned over” her illegal private email server to the FBI. Knowing the FBI would be coming for it, she deleted more than 30,000 emails (a crime) on her illegal, government-business, home server kept in her New York home. In saying that she just “turned it over,” her wording was curious – and by curious I mean a lie. When the FBI wants something, it does not ask, it takes. It’s like Whitey Bulger or Al Capone saying he “turned over” his freedom to the FBI when it asked. And Osama bin Laden just invited the Navy SEALs in for a drink. There are now as many Clinton Crime Family Foundation ethics lapses as there are GOP presidential candidates. Hillary is chasing an historic first: She hopes to be the first Clinton indicted before the Iowa Caucuses. After saying there were never any classified emails on her personal account, we learn that, as of Aug. 18, the State Department has flagged more than 300 emails as potentially containing classified information. This was after she deleted some 30,000 emails that she said were just emails to her husband and about yoga routines. Rumors are that her staff deleted the “Top Secret” designation from emails so they could not be searched. If I were Hillary and wanted to hide things on my computer, I would put them in a desktop folder that no one would want to look at. I would label it: “Photos of Hillary doing yoga.” The politicized, uberpartisan, Obama Justice Department will probably not prosecute Hillary. They exercise prosecutorial “discretion” to go after Republicans and other enemies, like the Mafia

RON HART Columnist

uses henchmen and thugs to intimidate rivals. The Justice Department did indict former Army general and CIA director David Petraeus, the hero commander in Iraq who took issue with the Obama regime and was made to pay the price. His “crime” was discovered as a result of his affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. Ms. Broadwell suspected that the general had another girlfriend (mistresses hate men who cheat). She started sending threatening emails to her perceived rival, who hung around U.S. Central Command headquarters in Tampa, Fla., and was described as a “Tampa socialite” (which, I can only imagine, is a woman regularly seen at inland Florida O’Charley’s restaurants, ordering salmon croquettes paired with Sutter Home wine). His secret email account, which only contained his official calendar so he and Broadwell could schedule hook-ups, was seen by both women. Feeling threatened by Broadwell’s emails warning her to stay away from Petraeus, the other woman went to the FBI. (Our crack intelligence agencies, including the NSA, meanwhile, never uncovered this.) What Hillary did was far more consciously egregious. If there is an ounce of integrity in the Justice Department and the Obama administration, they will indict her. Knowing this possibility, Bill Clinton recently played golf with Obama to charm – or threaten him. My guess is that Obama didn’t have to

make a putt inside of eight feet that day. It seems that playing golf with a president who is considering federal charges against your wife would not be OK, either. Keep in mind, neither the State Department nor IRS hitwoman Lois Lerner would turn over emails demanded by Congress. Lerner said the IRS “lost” all requested emails that dealt with the IRS going after Tea Party groups who opposed Obama. It served Tea Partyers right for acting like nut jobs who claim you can’t trust the government. According to a confidential source who is close to Hillary’s valet, and based on my own speculation, these are some other things we will find out when her nondeleted emails are released: • One email said: “Reminder, Madame Secretary: You have pantsuit fittings at 1:30, 3:30 and 5 p.m. today.” • There are recurring typos in her emails. For example, she always neglected to hyphenate “destroyed-evidence” and “witness-tampering.” • She would get drunk and send fundraising emails late on Saturday nights. • There were 500 unopened emails from Joe Biden in her inbox. • She gave Monica Lewinsky a remarkably nice Yelp review on her handbag collection. No matter what the legal outcome of this scandal, I would much rather see Bill Clinton’s Internet browser history than Hillary’s emails.

The Dadeville Record

continued from page 1

It appears to be a combination of factors, the report concludes. The report indicates that the pontoon’s lights were in the on position and all wiring seemed to be in working order. Passengers on the pontoon told investigators that while the white stern light on the back of the boat was working, they said the light was dim and was leaning down instead of perpendicular to the vessel. Passengers on the pontoon told investigators “they were nearly hit earlier by another boat and checked to make sure their lights were on and they stated they were on when they checked.” The report said a witness to the accident did see lights operating on both boats shortly before the crash. “A witness said that he saw both boats and that they both had their lights on, but when asked did he see the stern light on the pontoon boat, he said that he couldn’t be sure, but he saw the red and green lights and the docking lights on the pontoon illuminated,” one passage in the report’s narrative reads. According to the report, Stewart told investigators “he did not see vessel 2 (the pontoon) until the bow of his boat was about to make contact with vessel 2. The operator of vessel 1 said he never saw lights,” the report reads. The Ranger bass boat struck the Aqua Patio pontoon in the “stern on the starboard side of the engine and continued through” the pontoon and “exited through the bow. This resulted in the death of the operator of vessel and two minor injuries to passengers on the pontoon,” according to the report. Sgt. Mark Fuller was the investigating officer and reported on his findings in relation to alcohol being involved. “After interviewing all of the passengers of the pontoon boat it was determined that every one of them had been consuming alcohol,” Fuller wrote in the report. “The operator was said to have drank at least two beers and had poured a drink with Makers Mark Bourbon. …The operator of (the bass boat) was tested immediately for the presence of alcohol and that test showed he had not been consuming any alcohol.” No charges have been filed at this time. ALEA’s Sgt. Steve Jarrett said the findings of the investigation will be presented to the Tallapoosa County Grand Jury to determine if any indictments are warranted.

Crash findings put boat lighting in the spotlight By Betsy Iler TPI Magazine Editor

Monday’s release of the law enforcement report on a June 19 fatal boat accident on Lake Martin has again sparked conversation on nighttime boating and whether legal requirements provide enough safety on the water. Alexander City’s Stanley Sides, 66, was killed after a bass boat piloted by John Kenneth Stewart, 45, of Dadeville, struck the pontoon boat that Sides was in control of at the time of the crash. “Inadequate lighting” on the pontoon boat and “improper lookout” by the driver of a bass boat were cited as contributing factors in the crash that happened at 8:55 p.m. in the river channel between Dennis Creek and Mallard Point. The bass boat was said to be travelling in excess of 40 mph at the time of collision, while the pontoon was moving slowly, but some questioned if the rear light atop the pontoon was bright enough to provide sufficient visibility. Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Officer Mark Fuller, who often patrols Lake Martin with ALEA’s Marine Division and investigated that fatal crash, said lighting often is an issue in citations written and accidents occurring after dark. U.S. Coast Guard regulations stipulate the requirements for navigation lights, which include a red portside bow light, green starboard light and a white stern light that is visible from 360 degrees. “Oftentimes, on boats that have a soft top, during the day, people will let that light back to put the top down, and they forget about it when it gets to be sunset and beyond and the light no longer is in position,” Fuller said in July before the report was finalized. “We often see boats where that light needs to be repositioned. It has to be perpendicular to the water.” Docking lights also create navi-

gation difficulties, he said, as the bright lights reflect off the water and blind other boaters. One local boat owner said it was that June 19 accident that convinced him to add lighting to his boat. He had blue LED lighting installed and said the decision came down to safety and aesthetics. “I went back and forth about it for a long time before I actually had the lights added,” said local lawn service owner Scott Atkins. “I am more of a naturalist/traditionalist, and I thought they were invasive and intrusive. “It gives you a little piece of mind, knowing other boaters can see you that much better; besides, it looks pretty cool. I guess I’m about a 40-year-old kid, and I’ve been on the lake at night since Castaway was still open. I’ve seen a lot of changes on the lake and have been fortunate to not have encountered what happened this summer. It was the safety aspect that convinced me, but at the end of the day, it’s still pretty cool.” Fuller said blue LED lights installed along a boat’s exterior are not regulation, but because they are not red, green or white, they are allowable on watercraft. “Speaking personally, I think that as long as you are not interfering with other boaters’ ability to see, more light is better. Not spotlights or bright lights, but the LED lights are very visible,” Fuller said. He also offered some simple thoughts for boaters to consider when thinking lighting and safety for night navigation. “Make sure the lights are in good condition and the wiring is good,” Fuller said. “No blue lights can rotate, oscillate or flash because that confuses the boat with a law enforcement vehicle, but that constant blue LED does reflect well and is very visible in the water. We are seeing a lot of that on the lake. As long as they don’t flash and they are constant, they are fine.”

ALL-IN-ONE THREAT Dadeville’s Buchanan a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

His friends, family and teammates call him “Scooter,” but his opponents probably call him the devil. One thing is for sure, if there is one word to describe Dadeville junior Margarius Buchanan on the football field, it’s “dangerous.” What Buchanan brings to the gridiron for the Dadeville Tigers is a little bit of everything, as he has more uses than a Swiss Army Knife and when he gashes opposing defenses, the cuts are just as deep. While he played mostly cornerback and wide receiver for the Tigers in 2014, Buchanan made his biggest impact in the second half of the season when he was moved to running back and promptly racked up 565 yards and six touchdowns. Now, Buchanan will take on an even bigger role in the Tigers’ backfield, lining up at running back and a little bit behind center as well. “I’ve just been approaching this season with an open mind,” Buchanan said. “I like both of the positions. And I love being a quarterback and I love leading a lot. Looking up to ShawnD (Jennings), he really paved the way and he’s shown me a lot. Of course, I love playing running back, too, because I just like running the ball.” Buchanan said he has enjoyed the competition in practice as a part of a Dadeville backfield that pushes each player to be better. “I just like the competition that the other backs on the team bring. They bring a lot of competition to the table in practice,” Buchanan said. “We just come out and work hard everyday and we make each other better.”

Robert Hudson / The Record

Junior Margarius Buchanan will be called to move the chains a lot for the Dadeville Tigers in the 2015 season, as he will line up at running back, wide receiver and even a little at quarterback this year.

When he is not running up and down the field and cutting up opposing defenses, Buchanan will be playing cornerback in the Dadeville secondary that includes a pair of All-State players in safety Shawn Jennings and cornerback Isaiah Hicks along with senior safety Ty Stone. Buchanan said he is expecting the group to be one of the most dominant units around in 2015. “It means a lot to be a part of that group. Last year, I came in and I was a sophomore and I learned a lot from playing with those guys,” Buchanan said. “It was really fun, but this year we’re looking for a big year. We’re looking forward to it and it’s going to be an exciting year back there in the secondary.” Overall, Buchanan does not really mind where he is asked

to line up on the field because he knows that his versatility is a big asset to the Tigers. “I like to call myself kind of a versatile guy. I kind of compare myself to Speedy Noil (TAMU) or Tavon Austin because I can line up in the slot and catch it and I can get in the backfield and run it,” Buchanan said. “I can also throw it, so that’s kind of hard to guard. I’m a three-way player. I consider myself a solid player around the board. I can check every box, and that’s big.” Taking on multiple positions has also meant taking on a leadership role. Buchanan is one of the most experienced players on a young Dadeville squad. He said it’s been an easy responsibility to take on. “It’s kind of been easy to be a leader because I’ve got

a lot of younger guys who kind of look up to me, and it may sound crazy, but a lot of older guys look up to me, too,” Buchanan said. “I’ve really got to set the trend. I come out here and I try to run my routes right, try to be vocal and try to do the little things. That way, the guys under me look at me and know what they should be doing.” As an impact player on the field and the source of many laughs off of it, Buchanan is known to his teammates as “Scooter.” He said the nickname dates all the way back to his birth, and can also describe his running style on the field. “My grandmomma, she gave me that name. They said when I came home from the hospital, I was scooting across the bed,” Buchanan said. “So, ever since then, I was running around the house and scooting a lot. So,

they kind of gave me my name. I scoot, and I hope to scoot down the field this year.” And while he is hoping to scoot down the field for multiple scores this season, what Buchanan wants most is to help lead the Tigers to big things in 2015. “We’ve got a lot of expectations as a team. I really don’t have a lot of personal goals because at the end of the day, personal goals don’t win championships,” Buchanan said. “That’s the ultimate goal: we want to win a championship. Me just being out here working with these guys and seeing them give their all everyday, the sky’s the limit for this team. I really think we’ve got a shot at competing for a championship. “This year is going to be epic. We’re kind of coming in as an underdog, but this team, we’re out to prove something. I think we’re going to prove it, too.”

Rebels not 100 percent sure what to expect from new-look Childersburg By Robert Hudson Record Sports Editor

The 2015 season officially kicks off tonight as the Reeltown Rebels will travel down Highway 280 to take on the Childersburg Tigers at 7 p.m. Thursday’s game marks the first of the regular season and the second-ever meeting between the Class 2A Rebels and the Class 4A Tigers, with Reeltown winning last year’s game 21-13 at NixWebster-O’Neal Stadium. With Childersburg expected to run a new system on offense this season, Reeltown Coach Jackie O’Neal said the Rebels have been doing their best to prepare for the unexpected. “Well, you kind of throw a lot of different things at the kids formation-wise and plays trying to go by what they did last year,” O’Neal said. “Then, you always try to prepare for the unexpected, which is kind of hard sometimes. You can prepare for it and still not be ready. You don’t want to throw too much at the kids where they won’t be able to just go out and play at full speed. We kind of limited some of the things we did.” While a lot of teams throw in audibles to switch up during the game, O’Neal said the Rebels will open the season

relying on their base defense and making in-game adjustments to counter the Tigers. “It’s important to be able to run a checks and audible system, but my thing is that if you line up and play fundamental defense and just play hard you can have success,” O’Neal said. “This time of year, you can run so many checks and audibles that you hurt yourself. If you’ve got a base defense and you line up and make the other team beat you, and be able to make adjustments, you can be successful. You put too much authority into the hands of the kids on the field then you’re not going to get a lot done. I like to do a lot of basic stuff at the beginning of the year.” And in order to put themselves in the best position to win, O’Neal said the Rebels will have to be physical and leave all of their energy and effort out on the field. “What we’ve got to do is play extremely hard. We’ve got to leave the field emotionally and physically drained,” O’Neal said. “We don’t need to have a lot of energy to take on the bus. We have to leave it on the field. That’s the only shot we’re going to have to win, not just the first game, but any game.”

What to know when replacing your Social Security Card

eeping your Social Security number card in a safe place is vital to protecting you against identity theft. Never keep it in your purse or wallet â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this is the most common way people lose their card. No matter how hard you try to keep track of your important documents, sometimes they get lost or even stolen. Getting a replacement Social Security number card is free, but you will have to provide the proper documents to get a new one. Being prepared will save you time at the Social Security office or card center. If you are replacing your card, you will need original or certified copies of the required documents, which include: 1. Proof of citizenship: If you have not already established your U.S. citizenship with us, we need to see proof of U.S. citizenship. We can accept only certain documents as proof of U.S. citizenship, like your U.S. birth certificate or U.S. passport. 2. Identity: We can accept only certain documents as proof of identity. An acceptable document must be current (not expired) and show your name, identifying information (date of birth or age), and preferably, a recent photograph. For example, as proof of iden-

tity, we must see your: Âˇ U.S. driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license; Âˇ State-issued non-driver identification card; or Âˇ U.S. passport. If you do not have one of these specific documents, or you cannot get a replacement for one of them within ten days, we will ask to see other documents, including a(n): Âˇ Employee identification card; Âˇ School identification card; Âˇ Health insurance card (not Medicare card); or Âˇ U.S. military identification card. Remember, you are limited to three replacement cards in a year or ten in your lifetime. Legal name changes and other exceptions do not count toward these limits. For example, changes in immigration status that require card updates may not count toward these limits. Also, you may not be affected by these limits if you can prove you need the card to prevent a significant hardship. MEMBER

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more important than having your card is knowing your Social Security number. This is how we identify you, tally your wages correctly, and how we eventually issue you accurate retirement benefits. You might not even need your card for identification purposes if you know and consistently use your correct number. For more information about replacing a lost or stolen Social Security number card, go to www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber. Kylleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; D.

BENJAMIN RUSSELL WILDCATS

Leaders look to lead ‘Cats to deep run By Robert Hudson Outlook Staff Writer

While they lost a number of key pieces from a 2014 squad that finished 10-2 with a second round exit at Spanish Fort, the Benjamin Russell Wildcats return many important players in what they hope will be a successful run in 2015. As they have in seasons past, the Wildcats will look to spread opponents out and give multiple looks on the offensive ball, with an emphasis on their rushing attack. “Well, we run our spread, but we do a lot of things out of it. Sometimes, we have a fullback involved in it, which we call our gator back, and sometimes we’ll get in the wishbone,” said Benjamin Russell Coach Danny Horn. “We run a variety, but the main part of it is the spread.” The Wildcats will return four starters from last season’s team, and probably the most important among them is senior quarterback Tyre Gray.

After producing 1,883 yards of total offense, including 1,099 on the ground with 10 rushing touchdowns and nine passing, Gray has shown even more confidence in running the Wildcats’ attack entering 2015. “He’s more confident. That’s the big thing, and I think that’s what happened last year as the season went on,” Horn said of Gray. “He learned the offense better and he got more comfortable with it. He is still a work in progress on some things, but I’m not worried about him. He’s a winner. He’s going to make some mistakes, so everybody does, but he’ll make more good plays than he will bad plays. He’s going to be there when you need him.” Among the positions the Wildcats will need to fill in 2015 are a few holes on the offensive line and all of their wide receivers, but Horn said things are coming together at each position heading into the season. “We’ve got a couple there on the offensive line battling it out there where we really don’t know yet who is going to start,” Horn said. “At receiver, we’ve got a

couple battling there, so we’ll be able to play some different kids there. It’s shaping up.” Defensively, the Wildcats also return four starter, but Horn said they are looking for linebackers and a couple players in the secondary. “On defense, we lost all of our linebackers and a couple of people in the secondary. We’re a base 3-4. Back in the old days, it was called a ’50 defense’ or a 5-2, but now with the spread offenses it’s called a 3-4,” Horn said. “I’ve always run that and that’s our base defense. We’ll shift a little bit and sometimes get in a six-man front.” One area Horn said the Wildcats are lacking right now is depth at a few positions, and while he hopes a few players will step up as the season gets closer, it’s a bridge he said Benjamin Russell will cross when it gets there. “I guess every team could say this, but we’ve got to See WILDCATS, Page 3

Far left, Benjamin Russell quarterback Tyre Gray (8) is entering his second season under center for the Wildcats in 2015. Gray scored a total of 19 touchdowns in 2014. At right, junior running back NeColby Maxwell will take on more carries and a bigger role for the Wildcats in the 2015 season.

stay away from injuries, but that’s a part of it just about every year,” Horn said. “Some years you have a little more depth than others, but this year we just don’t have hardly any depth at some positions. Depth is overrated until you need it, but when you need it, it becomes very important.” During the first few weeks of opening practices, Horn said he has been particularly impressed with the leadership on display from players such as senior running back Chase Burton, defensive tackle Tae Robinson and offensive lineman Daniel Bland among others. “Chase Burton, he’s always been a leader. He’s a vocal leader and a leader by action. Tyre, he’s more of leader by action. He’s kind of soft spoken,” Horn said. “Daniel Bland, Tae Robinson and several others have stepped and led when we needed them to. We need more of them. The more leaders you’ve got, the more winners you’ve got. We need more people to get on that side. I’ve been doing it a long time and I’ve always found that the more leaders you have, the better chance you have at success. They’re the ones who are going to do the right thing.” And though the main goal for every team this fall is to win a state championship, Horn said the Wildcats are focused on getting better each day in hopes that it leads to a long run into the postseason. “We just want to get better each week. Every day, we just want to get better. The thing about football is that it is more of a team sport than any sport out there because you can have 10 people doing their job and one person not doing their job and it will mess the whole play up,” Horn said. “Our goal, basically, is to get better each day. If everybody gets better each day, eventually we’re going to end up being a pretty good football team.”

DADEVILLE TIGERS

Young Tigers have high expectations By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

As the Dadeville Tigers enter the 2015 season, they will have to replace a lot of production and a lot of experience from a 2014 squad that finished 7-5 in the second round of the Class 4A State Playoffs. Offensively, the quarterback position will be filled full-time by twoway standout ShawnDarius Jennings as he fills in for last year’s starter Cal Jones, who accounted for more than 1,500 yards of total offense and 10 touchdowns in 2014, but decided to focus on baseball in his senior season after committing to Alabama. Dadeville Coach Richard White said Jennings has taken the challenge head-on and has shown improvement throughout the year. “ShawnD is doing a great job for us. He’s throwing the ball better than he did last year and better than he did in the spring,” White said. “He’s got more confidence in what he’s doing and he is starting to understand where the ball has to be placed. He understands his check downs and those types of things. We’ve still got two or three guys that are battling it out for the backup quarterback position. That’s still a battle that’s ongoing.” The Tigers will once again utilize the spread in 2015, with an emphasis on their rushing attack, which will be anchored by returning starter DJ Pearson and late-season bloomer Margarius Buchanan, who rushed for 565 yards and six touchdowns late in the season. “We’re a spread offense. We’re going to go three wide, four wide and we’ll have a tight end every now and then,” White said. “We’re going to run the ball and we’ll throw the ball, but we try to establish the run first and throw second.” With a lot of graduations, including offensive linemen and Jacksonville State signee Jalyn Johnson, White said the Tigers have been focus-

ing on filling their offensive line. He said so far there are been a few players to step up. “The offensive line is coming along and it’s progressing better than I thought it would by this point,” White said. “We still haven’t lined up against somebody else and you really don’t know what some of these guys will do. We’ve got David Washburn back at center, who was a starter last year. Then, Kenneth Abernathy was a part-time starter last year and so was Matthew Arrington. They rotated along with Branterro Banks, so we’re looking at about four guys that have playing experience with one who was a true starter.” The Tigers are still searching for tackles on the offensive side of the ball, but White is looking for the group to develop as the season goes on. On defense, the Tigers will have to replace the production of Alabama signee Anfernee Jennings, who was 4A Lineman of the year in 2014, as well as the rest of the defensive line in their 3-4 defense. The secondary, which includes ShawnDarius Jennings, All-State corner Isaiah Hicks, Buchanan and senior safety Ty Stone, will be the strongest group for the Tigers in 2015. “I would say secondary and inside linebacker are strong. Those six guys are our most experienced guys,” White said. “After that, it’s a tossup. Tre Johnson played some inside last year, but I’m moving him to a bandit linebacker, which is predominantly a defensive end when we go to our four front. He’s got some playing experience, but after that it’s a tossup and I really don’t have a clue right now. I haven’t had anybody step up to meet the challenge in the trenches, and it’s like I told those offensive linemen, they may have to play both ways, so they better get in good condition.” While White said that some offensive linemen may also see action on See TIGERS, Page 7

the d-line, he is still looking for players to take the initiative in practice and claim a spot. “I’m not just going to put somebody out there to fill a hole because we’ll get our eyes beat out,” White said. “We’re still experimenting and searching for those three front guys, but nobody’s stepped to the forefront there.” White said the expectations never change at Dadeville, and the 2015 season is no different. “Our expectations are the same every year. We want to win a region championship and get to the playoffs,” White said. “Our ultimate goal is to get to a state championship game, but we have to take it step by step and our kids understand that. The ones that are younger are starting to learn that. Once we lose sight of that, it’s not a good thing. Our kids know we want to win a region championship, get to the playoffs and win a state championship, and nothing’s changed about that.”

NEW LEAGUE, NEW EXPECTATIONS Lyman Ward enters new era with move to 8-man football By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

For the past seven years, the Lyman Ward Rangers have competed in the Alabama Independent Schools Association, and in that span they’ve only won five games. The 2015 season will mark a new beginning for the Rangers where they hope to find success after years of competing in the AISA and the Alabama High School Athletics Association. Lyman Ward announced in June that it would be making the move to 8-man football and joining the Alabama Christian Athletic Association starting with this season. The man tasked with leading that transition is Coach Richard Oliver, who has been with LWMA off and on since 2009, serving as head soccer coach in 2013 and again in 2015, as well as offensive line coach for the Rangers in 2009, 2010 and 2013. When practices open on Aug. 19, Oliver said he will be looking to see a lot of energy as the LWMA hopes to get back on the winning side more often. “Well, we just want to get a good, solid foundation for moving forward. We’ve kind of been at the bottom of the barrel for so long that we want to reemerge,” Oliver said. “We really have high expectations for this team because we’re moving into 8-man and the sky’s the limit for these guys. We’ve got a good group coming back, which is something we haven’t had in the past. We’ve got guys who have actually played together before, so I’m super excited and ready to get going.” One big advantage the Rangers have this year compared to prior seasons is that they will return many starters and players who have experience playing together. “On offense, I think we’ve got five returning starters returning from last year, which on 8-man is pretty impressive,” Oliver said. “Then, on defense, we’ve got about five or six coming back.” Oliver said he is hoping that experience will help them against teams that have players who have been together for years. “It’s very important that we have guys back because we play against teams that have been playing together basically since rec league,” Oliver said. “They’ve got the summer workouts and things to get that togetherness where we’ve kind of lacked that

in year’s past because we’re not set up to the have that. We’ve got kids that come from all over the country. It’s huge for us. We’re looking at a pretty large number coming back.” Oliver said the offensive style the Rangers will hope to use in 8-man football is a fast one, as they look to find success. “We’re going to run at a fast tempo.

From everybody that I’ve talked to, fast tempo is what kind of works in this style of play in football,” Oliver said. “We’re going to go as fast as we possibly can and just try to see if they can catch up to us.” With the first game set for Sept. 4 at home against Tuscaloosa Christian, Oliver said he is excited that the scheduling and transition process is

over and the focus can now be placed solely on football. “It’s been a relief now that it’s all done and settled. We added a Sept. 4 kind of late in the summer, so everything kind of just fell into place there,” Oliver said. “Now, I can focus on football now and move forward knowing the schedule is done.”

A LEGEND RETURNS Retirement on hold, Reeltown’s Jackie O’Neal talks final march as Rebels’ leader By Griffin Pritchard Tallapoosa Publishers

“T

his is going to be my last year,” Jackie O’Neal said, seated at a desk in the office of the Reeltown High fieldhouse last Thursday afternoon. “You can print that.” A year ago, O’Neal’s tenure as an educator came to a close. He coached the Rebels to the second round of the playoffs in football and then coached the Lady Rebels basketball team. “I don’t really know what I’m going to miss about coaching until (not coaching anymore) actually gets here,” O’Neal said, smiling. Reeltown wasn’t done with its resident Hall of Famer. O’Neal was contracted to coach the Rebels one more time. For him, it’s business as usual. “I expect the same things this year that I expect this year, regardless,” O’Neal said. “I expect them to go out there and perform. I think our schedule dictates that in every ball game, we are going to have to be ready to play each week.” Reeltown opens with a Thursday night trip to 4A Childersburg Aug. 20 and follows a week later with a midweek trip to 4A Dadeville. “All the teams on our schedule are very competitive,” O’Neal said. “We are going to have to get the best that we can out of our kids. And our kids have always been the ones to step up to the challenge.” O’Neal, whose record according to the Alabama High School Football Historical Society is 235-105, enters his 29th year at the helm of the Reeltown football program. “I don’t really have a favorite team for the simple reason, I loved every one of them,” O’Neal said. “I do have some favorable moments. One of the ones I

point to is the Flomaton game (1994, second round of the playoffs). They were undefeated and up two scores and we couldn’t stop them. We went in and our kids made some adjustments. Came back out and won the football game “I won’t really at their stadium. The Cottonreflect on some of wood series has these times until always been great. We’ve it’s over. Right had some great now I have a job to games against Notasulga and do.” Dadeville has — Jackie O’Neal turned into a rivalry and we’ve had some great games there. The Tallassee series: When they let us alone and let us just play football. That was a great series. Clay County is another one. We’ve played some gigantic games; playoff games, state championship games. Now we didn’t always come on the good end of the stick.” Reeltown, in 2009 and 2010, reached the state championship in back-to-back years defeating Clay County 16-8 on the frosty turf at BryantDenny Stadium in Tuscaloosa and then losing to Leroy 34-7 a year later at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. That Leroy team featured a pair of future Tigers: Sammy Coates and Clint Moseley. “I think the biggest factor in that game – not just his athletic ability – we had some kids that the game was too big for them and instead of playing up to their ability, they were just star-struck,” O’Neal said. “In Jordan-Hare, against a team with two Division-I kids; to go back and look now, I have so many fond memories.” But, with O’Neal, it comes back to family. “The biggest and proudest thing is that I got to coach both of my sons,” O’Neal said. “How many coaches get a chance to coach one let alone two? I also got to coach my daughter and my granddaughter. I coached my baby boy in basketball. You talk about all the great things I’ve been a part of – to me, was to be a part of the greatest threeSee O’NEAL, Page 5

man coaching crew in the state of Alabama. There have been some great times and there have been some tough times. But we were able to get it turned around and pointed in the right direction.” In his 37 years in coaching, he said that even though the calendar has changed, the young men he has coached have remained much the same. He said the one constant is the kids’ need for structure and discipline. “It’s not popular for people to hear, but kids today need discipline more than they ever have,” O’Neal said. “They have always wanted it, but I think the ones here may not get it to the level at home that they did back then. It’s not the parents’ fault.

The way the world is today, they are almost afraid to discipline a child. “I have found that kids thrive when they knew what is expected of them and what won’t be tolerated. The trouble comes when those lines aren’t set and they try to push the limits on their own. They want that clarity. They want to be accountable – and when they achieve – they want that praise when they do the right thing and do it well.” So in his 38th season as a coach at Reeltown and his 28th as head coach, O’Neal said not to expect a whole lot of new things from the Rebels. “If the truth be told, most teams don’t have but five or six plays that they use every game,” O’Neal said. “There are variations, but the key is

execution and being able for every man to do his job on every snap. If you do that, you will win more than you lose. Football is really a simple game when you think about it.” O’Neal was inducted into the Alabama High School Sports Hall

REELTOWN REBELS

Rebels look to send O’Neal out on top By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

When you look at the roster for the Reeltown Rebels, there are plenty of names missing from the teams of the past. In all, 17 players who were on the roster last season have moved on, but there is one important name at the bottom of the roster that is back this year. After flirting with retirement, legendary Hall of Fame coach Jackie O’Neal is back to guide the Rebels. O’Neal has coached at Reeltown for a total of 37 years, including 10 years as an assistant under Duane Webster. In 27 years as head coach, O’Neal’s teams have 235 wins and a pair of state championships. His tenure at Reeltown also produced 14 area and region titles and three Alabama Sports Writers Association coach of the year awards in ’91, ’92, and 2001. That success has come by following a familiar formula. It’s rare that a team will be in better condition than the Rebels and they are physical. The bottom line is that the Rebels don’t get out-hit by anyone. O’Neal said that he thinks that this year has a chance to be cut from the same cloth.

“We feel like we have a chance to be pretty good, but until you play a few games you never really know,” O’Neal said. “I mean we make a good team picture and we look like world beaters against ourselves. But until you see how they dig down and get it done when they are playing someone as good as they are, you really don’t know for sure. “If we stay healthy and get a break or two, I feel like the potential is there. We lost 17 or 18 kids from last year, and really lost more than that because we had some that couldn’t play, so we have a lot of holes to fill. The good side of that is that the kids seem to be in better condition and that has allowed us to work hard early.” Offensively, Reeltown will have a new quarterback and starting running backs, but the offensive line returns tons of experience. O’Neal said there are four full-time starters back and seven lineman who played a good bit in 2014. Senior Zack Thomas will anchor the line, with juniors Blake Baker, Troy Futral and Torran Smith and sophomore Rajerian Wright making holes for the Rebels Wishbone attack. “Football is pretty simple really,” O’Neal said. “If you can block and tackle well, you are going to win more

than you lose. We feel like that offensive line is a strength and we plan to rely on them to help us move the ball on the ground.” Who will trigger the attack? Senior Takoreyon Edwards was a leader on defense last season. The ballhawking safety was first-team All-State and had 50 tackles, six interceptions, two fumble recoveries for touchdowns and three blocked punts. He filled in at times at quarterback last year, but this year he will take over as full-time signal caller and will be called on to be a leader on offense. O’Neal said his speed and toughness should make up for any inexperience. “He’s a good athlete and has great instincts,” O’Neal said. “He’s got great speed and if we can get him on the corner, he knows what to do with it when he gets there.” Running the ball has always been the staple of the Rebels offense, and despite losses, Reeltown has a threat in senior Cody Martin. Last year he rushed for 694 yards in limited duty, but averaged a whopping 7.4 yards per carry. His 4.3 speed is impressive, but unlike many speedsters, Martin isn’t afraid of contact and will lower his shoulder and pick up extra yardage to finish off runs. “If you are going to play for us you

are going to fight for every foot you can get and finish every run,” O’Neal. Said. “Last year we used Cody late after we had pounded a team for three quarters and he would be on the second level before the team knew he was there. This year, he will be the main guy, but he has gotten stronger so we think he’s up to it.” No wishbone attack would be complete without a bruising dive back and O’Neal said that senior Zach Lyles has the potential to develop into that banger who can pound the ball at opponents. Defensively, the Rebels will continue to use multiple fronts and looks, depending on what the opposition dictates. There is no shortage of talent, but O’Neal says he will have his best 11 on the field, even if that means some people will play both ways. Junior William Wright is expected to be the leader again this year. Depending on the look, Wright will play defensive end or linebacker. He has a track record of making things happen. As a sophomore defensive end in 2014, Wright had 80 tackles and 12 sacks and was named first team All-State for Class 2A. At 6-0, 215 pounds with 4.6 speed, Wright is bigger, faster and stronger See REBELS, Page 14

than a year ago when he was almost unstoppable. “He has the ability to dominate and change what offenses are able to do,” O’Neal said. “He was just a sophomore last year, and we saw teams looking for him and going the other way.” Obviously, O’Neal will again use Edwards at safety where he was an all-stater. O’Neal said he doesn’t see going both ways as an issue for Edwards. O’Neal had high praise for cornerbacks R.J. Woodward and Markez McCullough. Both are quick and height and the ability to read and react. “They are both tall, at 6-0 or better,” O’Neal said. “That means that with their reach, an opponent has to often alter a throw. That’s something you can’t discount.” O’Neal also mentioned senior Kiyaski Taylor as a player to watch. “We feel pretty good about the people we have,” O’Neal said. “We feel like we can be a pretty good team. I said can be. We haven’t played a game yet. “In our region, it looks like everyone is going to be a little better. There is no shortage of talent if the folks we play. We hope to compete and play disciplined football. If we do that, I think we have a chance to compete with anybody we play.” O’Neal said he thinks you have to look at Ranburne as the favorite, but said Randolph County, LaFayette, Horseshoe Bend and Woodland should also be much improved over last year. “Ranburne won the region last year,” O’Neal said. “So you have to start there. In our region there are no teams you can afford to overlook. That’s why here we never look past the next opponent of the schedule.”

Takoreyon Edwards (10) will take over the quarterback position for the Reeltown Rebels in 2015. Edwards will also line up at free safety, where he was a first team All-State selection for Class 2A in 2014.

HORSESHOE BEND GENERALS

Generals enter 2015 with urgency, maturity By Ed Bailey Special to The Outlook

What a difference a year makes. About this time last year, the Horseshoe Bend Generals were implementing a new Wing-T offense and trying to figure out the pieces to their puzzle. The result? A 3-7 record that -- while an improvement over a 2-8 mark the season prior – was marred with injuries and inconsistencies. Fast forward to 2015. The Generals have a better grasp of their scheme. The injuries of last year have allowed them to build depth. And according to Generals Coach Jason Franklin, it’s not hard to see the strides they’ve made. “Oh yeah, we’re seeing improvements top to bottom. You can see a year of maturity and a year of playing experience with a lot of the guys,” Franklin said. “We had to play a ton of juniors last year, and I think it’s paying off for us in the long run because you’re seeing a much higher maturity level.” The Generals will need it for Class 2A-Region 5, as Horseshoe

Bend will once again test its mettle in one of the toughest regions in all of 2A. With the likes of Reeltown, Randolph County, Lanett and Ranburne all eyeing the region crown and LaFayette pegged as a potential surprise squad, Franklin said Horseshoe Bend has no intention of taking a backseat to any of the playoff teams from last season. “We know our region is tough, but if you’re going to be in there you might as well get out there and compete and have a chance at the end of the season to be in the playoffs,” Franklin said. “I feel confident in our guys that we’re going to be able to be there at the end of the season.” Offensively, Horseshoe Bend boasts one of the top playmakers in the area in Drew Hill. But he is just one of several returning faces that Franklin expects to make an impact offensively, citing the return of most of the Generals’ offensive line as well as running back Hunter White and receivers Caleb Yarbrough, Drew Harden and Blake

Hudson as integral parts of Horseshoe Bend’s aspirations for success. “We’ve got a lot of guys who played a lot of snaps for us on the offensive side of the ball coming back,” Franklin said. What isn’t settled for Franklin’s squad is the quarterback position. As of now, the battle for that slot is between Braxton Walls and Cade Worthy. Thus far, Franklin said, the competition’s been a dead heat. “Both of them are doing a lot of good things so far, but (choosing a starter) will be a decision we make closer to the first game,” Franklin said. “Both have been doing a good job for us, and we’re proud of where their progress is right now.” Defensively, All-State linebacker Isac Holt will lead a 3-5-3 look for the Generals as they plan to make up for a lack of size up front with ferocity. Franklin said he expects the scheme to maximize the versatility of his roster. “It’s more of an attacking style of defense where we can utilize some guys that are a little undersized

that can play multiple positions and take advantage of our strengths,” Franklin said. While the Generals’ roster is largely the same, Franklin said the team’s attitude is like night and day compared to 2014. Combined with the experience gained from last season, Horseshoe Bend doesn’t plan on anything less than a return to the postseason. “We’re seeing more maturity and a lot more leadership out of our guys. When you’ve got an older bunch that’s been playing a little while, they tend to understand what you want every day and how to approach every day,” Franklin said. “Regardless of whether it’s 105 or 65 (degrees), you’ve got to come out there and have a good day of practice and work your rear end off and get better. “Right now, offensively and defense we’ve made some good strides as far as we can see. The main thing with us is staying healthy. If we can stay healthy, we can be competitive in the region, if not make some noise in the region.”

CENTRAL-COOSA COUGARS

Cougars enter new season with new coach By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

With just eight wins in a five-year span – including just one win in 2014 – the Central-Coosa Cougars football program needed a change. Barry Simmons, the new head coach at the Hanover school, is that change. Simmons comes to Central and his first head-coaching job after a twoyear stint as defensive coordinator at Calera High School where the Eagles advanced to the second round of the playoffs both years and posted a combined record of 20-4. His defenses held opponents to 10 points or less over that period, including pitching four shutouts. “Our goal is going to be to win every ball game we play,” Simmons said. “Making the playoffs is a huge goal. I think it’s been 15 years since Central made the playoffs.” In 2000, Central finished 10-2, advancing to the second round of the playoffs with a team that featured Oakland Raiders defensive end Justin Tuck. Since then, six different Central head coaches have combined for a 36-104 record, including two wins by forfeit. The Cougars have not finished above .500 in that span. Simmons hopes to change all that.

For starters, he’s implemented an offseason weight program that had not existed at Central. Now, he said, it’s time to work to change the Cougars’ mental approach to football. “We’ve just got to work to change the mindsets of our kids to let them know, if they work hard, they can be competitive in every game,” Simmons said. “These kids just don’t know how to win. Hopefully, if we play to our ability we can pick up a couple wins early and that’ll carry us a long way.” To find those wins – early and otherwise – the Cougars need to improve a defense that gave up 20 points or more in all but a single game in 2014. “We want to be very physical on defense,” Simmons said. “And we want to keep it simple so that we can play fast.” Cooper feels like he has the talent for the defense to be much improved, with big sophomore defensive lineman Tony Davis anchoring the line in his 4-2-5 scheme. “Tony’s just a sophomore, but he’s a big kid,” Simmons said. “We’re counting on him up front. “Backing up the line, Shakerian Hayes is a heck of a player. He’s about 6-0, 180 pounds and has really nice speed. He’s a senior, so he’s probably

our leader on defense.” Simmons didn’t single out any one player in the Cougars’ defensive backfield. “We’ve got Trevor Stover who is a senior back there, but mostly they are a young blue-collar group. Outside Shakerian and Trevor, we’re young on defense, but I feel like we have the talent to be improved.” The Cougars run very much an “Auburn-style offense,” Cooper said. The Cougars will line up in the spread, but look to run the ball first. And they have quite an offensive weapon in Outlook Super-12 running back Rodriguez Whetstone. “Rod’s the real deal,” Simmons said. “I think he was one of the leading rushers in the area last year. He’s not a huge kid, but he’s got some strength and has really good speed. And he’s definitely one of our senior leaders.” The offense is directed by junior quarterback Raymond Graham, who Simmons described as “shifty” and considers another leader on the offense. When Graham’s not feeding Whetstone, he’s likely looking for wide receiver David “Bodie” McKinney, who, at 6-4, is the Cougars’ top pass target.

“Bodie’s got plenty of height and has good hands, but he’s kind of skinny,” Simmons said. “He’s one of those kids who could have really benefited from a good weight program.’ Senior guard Winston Pearson will anchor the line for the Cougars, Simmons said. Simmons hope that, by instilling some pride in his players and having enough success to make Coosa folks come out to the stadium on Friday nights to watch the Cougars, he can build a program the area believes in and wants to be a part of. Simmons even has a school in mind after which to model the Central program. “When I got here, I could just tell that these kids didn’t have that sense of pride that you see around a good football team,” Simmons said. “I mean, they need to know that they’re the thing that people want to today around here on Friday night – come see them play. What else is there to do around here on a Friday night? “When I look at Clay Central, I think ‘What’s the difference between them and Coosa?’ Can’t we have the same kind of success? I think we can. Sure, it’s going to take some time, but we can get there.”

Tyre Gray, Benjamin Russell

Gray is entering his senior season, and his second year as a starter at quarterback, coming off of a junior year where he accounted for 1,883 yards of total offense, including 1,099 on the ground with 10 rushing touchdowns and nine passing. He said the biggest difference in the lead up to his senior season has been an increase in confidence as he has become more comfortable in the Benjamin Russell offense. “I’ve gotten a lot more confident in the offense and how I play from last year to this year,” Gray said. “I’m also learning more about what everyone else does, so that’s helped me. “My passing has improved a lot this year. I’m making better reads and getting the ball out of my hands a lot quicker. I’m working on my ability to throw on the run and things like that.”

Jennings made second team All-State for Class 4A as an athlete in 2014 thanks to his play at the safety position. He will be the starting quarterback for the Tigers in 2015 as last season’s primary starting quarterback, and Alabama baseball commit, Cal Jones opted to focus on baseball in his senior year. Jennings said it has been a tough adjustment, but the same versatility that landed him on the second team for AllState as an athlete last year will prove helpful to him at the quarterback position. “It’s been a difficult adjustment, but it helps me that I also play defense,” Jennings said. “I know what the safety can do and most of the defensive coverages, so that helps me as a quarterback to read defenses pretty good. I know a lot of the places people line up on defense, so that helps a lot.”

Isac Holt, Horseshoe Bend

Chase Burton, Benjamin Russell Burton ran for 961 yards and seven touchdowns in his junior season. The senior is will see time at running back and linebacker in 2015. In everything he does preparing for the 2015 season, Burton thinks about his team and how becoming better as a unit could lead the Wildcats to their ultimate goal. “I’m just looking to get better in general. I do what I do for them,” Burton said, pointing toward his teammates. “So, every day I come to work with the mindset to get better for my team because that’s how you accomplish the big goals. It’s not about individual stats. “My teammates, these are dudes I’ve been doing this since day one with. They’re irreplaceable. We just want to build from day one and take it one game at a time. Then, hopefully, end up at the end of the year with that ring.”

In 2014, Hicks made his opponents pay for underestimating him, as he finished second team All-State for Class 4A as a cornerback, totaling 40 tackles, four passes defended and three interceptions. “They underestimate me because I’m short and stuff,” Hicks said with a laugh. “But that’s why I work a lot on my jumping and stuff, so I can get my vertical up and compete with the taller receivers.” Along with his All-State performance last season at cornerback, Hicks returned a kickoff for a touchdown and caught 10 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns from the wide receiver spot. Hicks said it is the drive to win that helps him give his all on both sides of the ball. “To play both ways, you’ve got to have determination, you’ve got to be in shape,” Hicks said. “So you have to put extra work in because you’re going to have to go both ways in the game until the game is over.” After suffering a torn labrum in week three, Holt threw on a shoulder brace and continued the season on his way to a school record 138 tackles, including ten tackles for loss, a sack and seven passes defended to land himself on the second team for Class 2A All-State. As he has been practicing with the team and been cleared to play ahead of schedule, Holt has relished in taking a leadership role entering his senior season. “This has been the first time I’ve been the oldest one on the team. I’ve always been the younger one playing with the older guys,” Holt said. “So, taking a leadership role this year and having to have the mindset where it’s not just about me, it’s about making my team better also. Our big thing this year is just working as a team. If we all do our individual jobs, it will work as a team.”

It’s just get the ball and go, and that’s what I like to do. “I’ve got to keep trying for the team, keep doing this for them and put the team on my back,” Hill said. “I try to do the best I can for them.”

2015 GRIDIRON GUIDE

Tae Robinson, Benjamin Russell

Robinson wrecked havoc all the way to his second career All-State selection in 2014 with 59 tackles, 27 for loss, and 10 sacks. He said he is anxious and ready to do it all over again in 2015, while accomplishing big goals in the process. “Football taught me a lot, so I don’t really want it to end, but I’m ready for the football season to come,” Robinson said. “Team wise, we want to win state, of course. Beat Opelika, well, demolish Opelika, and be regional champs. Individually, I want to make All-State first team and finish up with my stats a little better. It’s going to be a good year for me in my senior year.” As he has moved up as a senior on the Benjamin Russell defensive line, Robinson has become more of a leader. He said it is important that he sets the tone for the Wildcats in 2015, and he has learned to lead from those who came before him. “It’s pretty important. I’m just about the only senior up there on the line.”

William Wright, Reeltown

As a sophomore defensive end in 2014, Wright recorded 80 tackles and 12 sacks and was named first team AllState for Class 2A. He said last season was a great one, but he is always looking to get better. “It feels like a blessing. It just makes me want to grind harder and get better,” Wright said. “Everything that I didn’t do last year, I need to get better at for this year. I just take it as a blessing to be playing and try to get better every time I step on that field.” And the goal for this year, much like his teammates, is to send legendary Coach Jackie O’Neal out on top in what is likely his final season roaming the sidelines for the Rebels. “We want to take it game by game,” Wright said. “All roads lead to that blue trophy. That’s all we think about and that’s what we practice for every day. We want to give Coach O one of the best seasons he’s ever had at Reeltown.”

After a junior season that landed him on the first team All-State for Class 2A, Edwards will hope to repeat his performance in his senior season. On defense, Edwards recorded 50 tackles, six interceptions, two fumble recoveries for touchdowns and three blocked punts just for good measure. But 2015 will also see the dynamic senior safety take up a new role as the starting quarterback for the Rebels’ high-powered rushing attack. “I’ve been staying late at practice, getting a lot of extra throws in and making sure I get all of my reps in,” Edwards said of learning the quarterback position. “It’s important that I learn it quick because the quarterback runs the offense. So, if you don’t know it, nobody knows it.”

Cody Martin, Reeltown

With the graduation of last season’s leading rusher Ed Carraker, who rushed for more than 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2014, Martin is the top returning rusher for the Rebels this season. After a junior season where he ran for nearly 700 yards to go along with seven scores, Martin is hoping to take on the brunt of the carries and increase that total in 2015. “All of the other years, I’ve been in the mix, but this year I feel like the team is going to be on my shoulders,” Martin said. “I’m going to have to really step up in the running game.” Martin is ready to put Reeltown on his back and carry them all the way to Tuscaloosa for a state championship. “Since it’s my senior year, I feel like I have to take on more of a leadership role,” Martin said. “All of the other years I had to sit back and learn and everything. But now I feel like it’s my year, and me and my teammates are going to try and lead this senior class to a championship.”

AUGUST 2015

What Buchanan brings to the gridiron for the Dadeville Tigers is a little bit of everything. While he played mostly cornerback and wide receiver for the Tigers in 2014, Buchanan made his biggest impact in the second half of the season when he was moved to running back and promptly racked up 565 yards and six touchdowns. Now, Buchanan will take on an even bigger role in the Tigers’ backfield, lining up at running back and a little bit behind center as well. “I’ve just been approaching this season with an open mind,” Buchanan said. Buchanan said he is expecting the secondary to be one of the most dominant units around in 2015. “It means a lot to be a part of that group. Last year, I came in and I was a sophomore and I learned a lot from playing with those guys,”

Whetstone rushed for 804 yards and four touchdowns in 2014, but as he is the biggest returning weapon for the newlook Cougars in 2015, he is hoping to see those numbers go even higher. “For the team, I’m trying to get us to playoffs and we want to have a winning season,” Whetstone said. “For myself, I’m trying to do better and get 1,000 yards. Last year, I had a good season, but this year I hope me and my teammates can help me have a better season this year.” With a new head football coach in Barry Simmons leading the Cougars into 2015, Whetstone has been one of many learning new plays and a new culture that aims to turn the program into a winning one after multiple losing seasons. “This year, I hope we do good. We’ve been adjusting to the new plays and stuff and we’re getting better every day.”
