Man to serve 10 years in ‘Cold Case’ murder By Cliff Williams Outlook Staff Writer

A man who admitted to raping and strangling a Camp Hill woman to death will serve just 10 years in prison. Markis Edward Heard, 35, plead guilty Wednesday before Judge Ray Martin to the February 2005 felony murder and first-degree rape of 78-year-old Willie Louise Kellum of

Camp Hill. Heard’s plea agreement has a split sentence of 20 years to serve five years for each of the counts to be served consecutively. Heard will serve 10 years in prison and 30 years on parole. Heard was arrested on Oct. 13, 2013 after investigators indicated the state Department of Forensic Sciences had “definitively linked” Heard to the crime through DNA analysis. At the time of Heard’s arrest, he was already in jail

serving a 15-year sentence for first-degree sexual abuse of a child. Heard was convicted in 2008 in the abuse case. Heard was originally charged with capital murder/burglary and capital murder/rape. The Kellum murder garnered national attention when it appeared on the TNT Network show Cold Justice. On the television show and in previous reports See CASE, Page 3

Christmas cards set to be sent to troops in 214th By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Hundreds of brightly colored cards and envelopes filled boxes and baskets Wednesday at the Alexander City Board of Education Building, all gathered to

be sent to make a group of soldiers serving their country feel appreciated this holiday season. Alexander City resident and former councilman Bill

Young spearheaded an effort to collect Christmas cards to send to Alexander City’s own 214th Military Police Company which has been in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for about a month now. He said he never thought

he would see the response to what started out as a small gesture. Young thanked the board of education, Russell Medical Center and The Outlook for pitching in to help with collections and See CARDS, Page 3

Erosion control and new equipment will likely be the focus of the Wind Creek State Park playground renovations funded by a $51,000 grant the park recently received from the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, according to Gerad Martin, manager of the park. “The playground is already in outdated condition,” said Martin. “We don’t have a detailed plan as of now, but our priority is working on the foundation and preventing the erosion that’s taking place there. That will be our first focus.” Currently, the playground is riddled with ruts caused by erosion. Current equipment includes a sliding board, swings and “a merry-go-round type apparatus,” Martin said. “We’ll upgrade the equipment, too,” Martin said. “Hopefully, we’ll add more swings and replace the other equipment and have enough money to do some more things.” The grant requires a 100 percent match, which means the park with have a total of approximately $102,000 to work with, Martin said. Gov. Robert Bently announced Alabama’s recipients of the Land and Water Conservation Fund grants Nov. 24. Wind Creek is one of four Alabama See PLAYGROUND, Page 3

Around town today volunteers from Meals on Wheels will be delivering Chickfil-A lunches. The quarterly fundraiser for the organization has proven to be successful and this time is no different. “I think without a Chick-fil-A everyone looks forward to having something a little different,” Meals on Wheels Board President Cynthia Miller said. “This is the biggest one yet. We sold nearly 1,000 sandwich meals.” Meals on Wheels expects to deliver over 16,000 meals in 2015. But not just anybody can sign up. For the last 30 or so years it has been serving those in the Alexander City See MEALS, Page 3

DEAR ABBY: When I was 19 and played bass in a rock band, I fell in love with a guy I’ll call “Brian.” He was three years older and also a musician. We had the best times together -we were young and wild without a care in the world. But the years rolled on and we got older. After six years together, I got pregnant. I thought Brian would be thrilled, but he wasn’t. It changed how I felt about him. I was heartbroken and lost respect for him. I grew up fast, and put our son, “Ricky,” first. Brian, on the other hand, has refused to give up his rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle. He shows up to see Ricky two or three times a month, but doesn’t even look at him. I can’t stand the way he ignores our son. Brian says I can’t alter who and how he is. I say, if we mattered to him, he would change on his own. This leads to arguments. Which is worse -- having my son grow up with an absent father who’s not “present” even

DEAR ABBY: My 15-yearold son, “Todd,” has started seeing a girl he goes to school with. “Winona” seems to be a nice girl from a good family. However, my son confided that her parents (mostly the mom) have started asking him all sorts of questions like, “I thought you were a good student. Why aren’t you on the honor roll?” “Do you keep your room clean?” “Would you change for our daughter?” Todd is a good kid and a good student (A’s and B’s mostly.) He has strong morals, lots of friends and is a typical teen. He isn’t asking for that girl’s hand in marriage! It’s their first “boyfriend/girlfriend” relationship. They just like each other.

Cards spread the word on the effort. “It started out as something small, but to see all this, it is really overwhelming,” Young said. “We really do appreciate what our troops do in helping keep us all safe, and I am pleased that so many people took the time and effort to do this so they will know exactly how the people of Alexander City feel about them. “What they do is a tough job and being away from your family anytime is difficult. But to be away during the holidays is especially tough. We just hope this will make it a little easier.” Alexander City School Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper said he was glad to help and was impressed at how all the schools got behind the effort. “We were honored to be a part of this,” Cooper said. “Any time you get the opportunity to honor our men and women in service, especially during the holiday season, it is a great thing to do. “We stress community service to our students and this was a great opportunity for them to get involved and hopefully brighten the day of these brave men and women.” They will get more than just cards.

by The Outlook, Kellum was described as a person who enjoyed being surrounded by her friends and extended family when she attended the United Methodist Church each Sunday. Even at age 78, Kellum was known for her high energy and dry wit. She worked long after she could have retired as a cook at the Head Start Program for more than 40 years. Kellum’s passion for working with children was a perfect fit for the Head Start’s mission serving low-income families in the region. On her final morning, she ran errands and stopped for groceries. The grocery store was the last place she was seen alive. That evening her grandson, who was living with her, found Kellum unconscious and he called 911. When Camp Hill Police arrived at

her home, they found Kellum with a cord wrapped around her neck and bruises all over her body. The murder shook the entire community. The earliest Heard could be released from prison is Dec. 2025.

Wilkinson said the students enjoyed the project. “They really worked hard to make greetings special,” Wilkinson said. “We are thankful to the troops and I think that showed in the way the students and staff got behind this project.” Crissie Garcia has a husband at Guantanamo Bay with the 214th. She serves as the Family Member Group Leader for the company. As the boxes and boxes of cards were grouped together Wednesday, she got a little emotional seeing the outpouring of support. “I asked my husband about what they would like to have in a care package,” Garcia said. “He said getting something in the mail from home means the world to them. I know things have changed some now that there is social media and email, but with mail they have something to hold in their hands. That makes it special. “I know they all will really appreciate all that the people here have done.” Young said the cards were boxed and shipped out Wednesday evening and officials say that should allow ample time for delivery well before Christmas. “All I did was agree to collect them and ship them,” Young said. “All the people who got behind this and took the time to write out a card, I can’t than them enough. From the school system, to the hospital and the Outlook, everyone was so willing to help. “All these cards, it shows how much Alexander City really cares.”

Our

Opinion The punishment doesn’t always fit the crime Tallapoosa County and Alexander City have some of the finest and most dedicated law enforcement officials you could find. The same can be said of the men who wear the robes in our courtrooms. With that in mind, here at The Outlook we find ourselves wondering aloud how 35-year-old Markis Heard could receive a sentence that will result in his spending only 10 years behind bars for the rape and murder of a much-beloved 78-yearold Camp Hill woman in 2005. Heard and his attorney reached a plea agreement that resulted in that sentence on Wednesday. On the last day of her life – Feb. 21, 2005 – Willie Louise Kellum, who worked 40 years as a cook for the Head Start program, rose, ran a few errands and went grocery shopping. She wasn’t seen after her trip to the grocery store until her grandson found her bruised and with a cord around her neck that evening. Is Kellum’s life worth more than 10 years? We think so and we believe most would agree with us. But Alabama finds itself in a situation where prison overcrowding has forced down mandatory minimum sentences in an effort to, in time, reduce our prison populations. Meanwhile, there are dangerous men and women being released who have little to no regard for human life yet are allowed to walk among us. Simply put, the more money we spend to build more inmate housing, the sooner we can feel safe again. Because Alabamians so overwhelmingly support candidates for public office who just say no – no questions asked – to taxes and, as a result, the citizens when afforded the right to vote for taxes adopt the same attitude, we find ourselves in a dangerous damned-if-we-do, damned-if-we-don’t quandary. We heard much this past legislative session about how the Goat Hill crowd had passed meaningful prison reform legislation. But how long can we wait for the proof with men like Heard receiving proverbial slaps on their wrists?

Today’s

Adopted son brings this dad tears of joy

read with more-than-casual interest the column of Kenneth Boone, my boss, that ran in Saturday’s paper. Near the end, it told the story of Kenneth’s adoption by his father (or, as he calls him, his “dad,”), Jim Boone. I was moved by the column because I can tell the same story – from the opposite point of view. You see, I adopted my only son, Brandon, and gave him my last name when he was just a year old, shortly after marrying his mother. Brandon’s mother, Barbara, and I are now divorced and both remarried, but Brandon remains my only son (although I have a stepson that seems like a son to me, too). I saw him through preschool, grade school and junior high from about 40 miles away before he came to live with me and my wife Lynn to attend high school at Elmore County High School in Eclectic, my alma mater, from which Brandon graduated in 2002. After graduation, Brandon did a single stint with the Navy in its nuclear program, stationed aboard the U.S.S. Miami, a nuclear submarine. When he was honorably discharged from his Naval service early due to a back injury, he enrolled at AUM and earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in psychology in a little more than two years. I will not disclose to you, dear reader, how long it took me to achieve my bachelor’s degree in journalism at Auburn.

Needless to say, I am proud of my son (And I never qualify the word “son” when speaking about Brandon. He has been, is and always will be my SON, regardless of our lack of any blood relation). And I remember vividly the day he became my son. There wasn’t much too it. We just signed some papers and I shed some tears. A whole lot of tears. The joyful kind. Thing is, if I had known the man Brandon would eventually become, it’s likely I would have blubbered still more. He’s married now to a wonderful woman named Jessica. He and Jessica have a son. They named that beautiful grandson of mine Jack, after my father who died four years ago and was the only grandfather Brandon ever knew. Of course, there was more blubbering when they told me about Jack’s name. Brandon has grown into a fine Christian man and husband. He holds a full-time job and, at the same time, is trying to get his own business off the ground on weekends. I’ve no doubt he’ll be successful in that business in due time. For the first several years of his life, Brandon was unaware of who his biological father was. Frankly, I was terrified even at the thought of his knowing he was adopted. The

thought of revealing to him the identify of his biological father kept me up at night. But, in my heart, I knew that I would want to know and to rob Brandon of that knowledge wasn’t right. So we told him. Since then, he’s met his biological father and his half sister. When I asked him how it went, he talked more about the sister than his father. And, somehow, sensing my worry, my insecurity, he said, “Dad, you’ve nothing to worry about. I know who has been there. I know who raised me. As far as I am concerned, you will ALWAYS be my father.” This time, I think I set a record for blubbering. This life takes some weird twists and turns. By 55, I thought I would be surrounded by a gaggle of blood-related grandchildren. I have the grandchildren, three of them. Two from my wonderful stepson, Jeremy, and Brandon’s Jack. They may not have my blood, but they’ve got spunk and loving fathers that I helped raise. That’s the only claim I need to be their grandfather. Or Pepop (pronounced PEEpop), as they call me. As Kenneth put it in his Saturday column, “They say you can’t choose your relatives and mostly that’s true.” But like his father chose him, I chose my son, too I’m so glad – and so blessed – that I did.

Appreciating the rain and the shine

ppreciating the rain and the shine I vaguely remember going to one particular Christmas parade in downtown Opelika in the early eighties. I’m sure it was a very festive occasion, but all I remember about it were Santa Claus, leg warmers, and eighty degree weather. It was hot—at the Christmas parade. Bah humbug! I love living in the south, but there are times I wished I lived in a place with four distinct seasons. It was really warm throughout most of November. I heard many people complaining about the unseasonably warm weather, while wishing for cooler temperatures. Then, a funny thing happened; we had a cool day, and many of those same people were longing for the aforementioned unseasonably warm weather. As a human being, satisfaction is temporary. It rained for days on end during the first part of November. I’m not exactly sure how long that was, but it lasted a while. I’m sure we needed it. Well, I really don’t know if we did or not. That might just be the old person in me. It can rain 40 days and 40 nights, and some will be

ecstatic while others are upset, sad, depressed, or all of the above. My dog Ruby may be all of the above. She loves to play outside, and I love playing with her. It’s great being outside with her throwing the tennis ball across the yard. It really is great—for the first half hour or so. It’s the next hour that I have a problem with, so the rain gave me a welcomed break. Actually, it’s not the rain as much as it is the mud, and I don’t want the mud on my carpet. The grass in my back yard is struggling and is akin to a man losing his hair, but a comb-ever of the grass just won’t do the trick. In fact, a comb-over never does the trick, so stop that—stop that now. It’s like the man leaving the liquor store drinking from a brown paper sack. We know it’s not a Co-cola in that sack, so cut it out. And if you’re the guy who wears a t-shirt while

swimming, stop that, too. You’re not fooling anyone. Ruby doesn’t seem to mind the weather. Hot or cold, rain or shine, she is content and satisfied. Sometimes I wish I was a dog. She’s just happy to be alive. It’s been a little over two years since I almost lost her to Parvo. She pulled through and has since proven to be the most amazing dog I’ve ever seen, even when she was “sick as a dog.” I don’t ever like being that sick, whatever that means, but I don’t mind feeling less than stellar on occasion, because it makes me appreciate the days I feel like a champ all the more. We can’t appreciate the shine without the rain, and we can’t appreciate the comfortable weather without the miserable weather, and most of all, we can’t appreciate a nice head of hair without a bad comb-over.

The eighth annual “An Eclectic Christmas” live pageant began its eightday presentation Tuesday at the Falk farm located south of the town on Claud Road/state Route 63. This year, the event has already broken its attendance record on advance reservations alone. “We had approximately 3,600 persons to attend last year,” spokesperson Rita Falk said, “and this year we’re already right at 4,000 reservations.” Falk is chairman of the board of An Eclectic Ministry, a 501c3 charitable organization, and said that the effort is non-denominational. “There are many churches involved,” she said, “but this is a community-driven organization. We work on this yearround, but really start concentrating on it about 30 to 45 days before it happens. People of all ages get involved — children, retirees and people like firemen, who work on their days off.” The presentation is a walking tour dramatization of the Christmas story and features numerous structures, actors, and live animals, which will include donkeys, goats, and sheep. On one night this year, a live camel is slated to make an appearance. “We’ll have some 300 volunteers on any given night,” Falk said. “There are about 150 characters in full costume and about another 150 behind the scenes.” Falk said that reservations “… are encouraged but not required. It would keep people from having to wait for a turn.” Shows are reserved in 15-minute increments. Admission is free, but

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH You have the ability to change a situation with your ideas and attentiveness. You are likely to surprise others by acting in a most unexpected way. Communication between you and someone at a distance is confusing at best. Tonight: Allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well that ends well. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll gain an insight that might make you uncomfortable. A child or loved one could be quite distracting, despite your efforts to accomplish certain tasks throughout the day. A partner simply canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to leave you alone! Tonight: Give up. Give in. Have a great time. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Stay anchored, and know what you want from a situation. The unexpected is likely to occur in a meeting. You could be ďŹ red up and react too quickly. Ask questions before you make judgments. You know where you are heading. Tonight: Good vibes surround your home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Keep reaching out to others before you make a decision. A boss might shake up the status quo. The unexpected will have you ďŹ&#x201A;oundering for a short period. Avoid having a knee-jerk reaction, and ask questions for a better understanding. Tonight: Optimism saves the day. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You need to be more careful when dealing with your ďŹ nances. Pressure builds between you and a loved one. You can talk until youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re blue in the face, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll still need to keep your ďŹ nances separate from those of this person. Tonight: Decide if you can afford an indulgence. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Others will want to listen, but the unexpected continues to throw a situation into chaos. Communication at home could be confusing and not particularly beneďŹ cial. Opportunities will emerge from out of the blue. Tonight: You call the shots. Others are willing to go along.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Think through a problem before discussing it. You need to know what your limits are and what seems workable. Confusion surrounds a conversation, no matter which way you decide to go. Be reasonable in a request you make. Tonight: Make it a personal night. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities. You could ďŹ nd others to be full of ideas, some of which you have toyed with yourself. An animated conversation points to a new approach. Know that you will get what you want, but through an odd sequence of events. Tonight: Where your friends are. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH Someone who has clout holds a very different view from yours. Find out which direction would be best to head in. You have a lot going on. Do not ďŹ ght city hall. Sooner or later, things will work out as you would like them to. Tonight: Out till the wee hours again. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Try to see the big picture. You might not agree with others, and perhaps you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what would be best to do. Recognize your limits right now. State your boundaries so that others know what to expect. Unusually good news heads your way. Tonight: Take a risk. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH One-on-one relating might be difďŹ cult at ďŹ rst, especially as you and someone else attempt to work out a ďŹ nancial situation. This person has a greater understanding of the matter than you do, and he or she will create the type of money ďŹ&#x201A;ow you desire. Tonight: The decision is yours. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You could be very tired of hearing the same story over and over again without seeing any growth or resolution. You might not see eye to eye with a higher-up right now. Why not kick back and let others see the results of their plans and thinking? Tonight: A must appearance.

Looking ahead to next year’s Iron Bowl game

AN UP-AND-DOWN EVENING Lady Wildcats win second straight home game, boys fall to Aggies

JOE MCADORY Sports Columnist

et’s fast forward 360 and someodd days, shall we? Who will be Auburn’s starting quarterback when it visits Bryant-Denny Stadium on Nov. 26, 2016? Who will be Alabama’s? Quarterback is always such an important position, and considering Auburn’s struggles there and the fact that Jake Coker should be finishing his PhD. by now and will be gone in 2016, the question is very legit. First, Auburn. The incumbents: Sean White and Jeremy Johnson. According to college football’s QB efficiency rating, who do you think was most efficient? I would have guessed White, considering Johnson’s early struggles. Believe it or not, Johnson edged him out, 126-125. White threw for more yards in fewer attempts, while Johnson threw for more TDs and interceptions. Neither player was a factor in the running game. Whether or not Johnson returns, however, is a question. Despite his struggles, he is a veteran on a team that needs leadership. But transferring isn’t out of the question. The challengers: John Franklin III, a JUCO transfer, will be involved in spring practice and many say he’s a Nick Marshall clone. If Gus Malzahn wants to get his quarterback more involved in the running game – and assuming this guy can throw a bit too – then one would figure he’ll start Sept. 3 when the Tigers open the season against Clemson. But, what if he can’t? Tyler Queen redshirted this season. He showed some flashes in the spring game, but had Tommy John surgery early in the season. How will that impact his fastball? Woody Barrett, a four-star recruit from Orlando, is a runner and passer in the Cam Newton mold. This guy might be the starter in three years. Is he good enough to win the job next fall? It’s hard for a freshman to come in and take over. Now, Alabama. Not as many options here as the starter departs. Looks like a battle between Cooper Bateman, David Cornwell, Alec Morris and Blake Barnett. Some could say Bateman, a sophomore, has a leg up in the competition, completing 37 of 51 passes already this season, and was neck-and-neck with Coker for the job through much of September. Cornwell was an Elite 11 recruit in high school, but the 6-foot-5 redshirt freshman struggled in preseason practice and never hit the field. Will he rebound? Morris was third-string for the second-consecutive season. He will be a senior, but his time might have passed him by. Barnett was a jewel signee in February. He’s the wild card here. After redshirting, he still has four years to play. Give him the job in September and he’ll be very seasoned before he turns 20. Just saying. Post Iron Bowl thoughts: A play call in the second quarter bit Auburn. Trailing 9-6, the Tigers drove 44 yards on 10 rushing plays. Yes, Auburn was running on Alabama. Facing third down and 2 from the Tide 31, the Tigers elected to throw deep rather than run again. Deep balls are often low-percentage plays. They are also high-reward. Johnson’s pass intended for Ricardo Louis was incomplete, Daniel Carlson missed a 48-yard field goal on the next play, and Alabama’s Adam Griffith kicked a 50-yard field goal to close out the half for a 12-6 lead. Who knows what would have happened if Auburn ran on that third and 2? I’m not sure if Florida will score against Alabama this Saturday. I’m not sure the Gators will cross the 50. Tickets were still available for face value ($115) late Friday afternoon, believe it or not, on Alabama’s web site. By Saturday, they were gone.

Benjamin Russell’s Kishandria Marbury (20) battles Sylacauga’s Chantel Gamble (30) for position under the rim during Tuesday’s game in Alexander City.

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

In a game that was tied entering the final quarter, the Benjamin Russell Lady Wildcats were able to pull away for their second straight home win. The Lady Wildcats (4-2) defeated the Sylacauga Aggies 32-23 on Tuesday in Alexander City. Benjamin Russell Coach Latreisha Moon said she was proud of her team’s efforts in a win that will build confidence. “I was impressed with the effort the girls gave. I thought we played slow, but I also think they played slow as well,” Moon said. “But in the end I was impressed with the effort they gave. It gives the girls confidence. It lets them know that if we play hard, we’ll win. I think we’ve just got to continue to play hard and continue to work, and we’ll be OK.” Tied at 19-19 entering the fourth, Sylacauga took a 21-19 lead on a midrange shot by Chantel Gamble with 6:51 left. But the Lady Wildcats tied it back up at 21-21 when Aaliyah Thomas scored on a layup less than 20 seconds later. Benjamin Russell’s Shay Johnson finished off a fast break to give the Lady Wildcats a 23-21 lead with little over six minutes left. Sylacauga’s Kayla Dark scored under the basket to tie the game back up at 23-23 with 5:40 remaining. However, Benjamin Russell’s JaTori Leonard scored in the paint and hit the free throw on the and-1 to give the Lady Wildcats the lead for good at 26-23 with 3:06 left to play. Benjamin Russell’s Chynna Allen hit a shot in the paint and hit a pair of free throws, while Johnson finished the game with a fast-break layup as time expired to seal the win for the Lady Wildcats. Johnson led Benjamin Russell with 8 points, as Hope Westbrook and Allen added 6 points each. Benjamin Russell will return to the floor on Friday at Dadeville starting at 6 p.m.

Sylacauga 74, BRHS 57

Not much went the Benjamin Russell Wildcats’ way on Tuesday night, as they fell 74-57 at home to the Sylacauga Aggies. Sylacauga took a narrow, 9-7 lead after the first quarter, but that lead ballooned to 43-22 at the halftime break. The Aggies led the Wildcats (0-5) by a score of 67-38 entering the final quarter. Timmy Lawson led Benjamin Russell with 13 points, while Quen Reese added 12 points. Benjamin Russell Coach Jeff Hines said a technical foul against him in the second quarter did not help matters for his team. “I think me getting a technical foul hurt us. That can go two ways – sometimes it’s done to try and motivate your team and then other times, obviously, it doesn’t do anything,” Hines said. “In this case, it hurt us. I blame that on myself.” Hines said he also takes responsibility for the Wildcats’ poor defensive play that has not been up to their usual standard. “However, I can tell you that it is the absolute worst defensive team I’ve ever

coached and that is a direct reflection of the way I’ve coached them, so it’s all on me. It’s my fault,” Hines said. “The way they’re playing is my fault, and we’re going to have to go back to work tomorrow and try to get it fixed because we’re not guarding anybody.” In their five losses, Benjamin Russell has given up 77, 67, 58, 95 and 74 points. Hines said that is something that must improve because the Wildcats are not going to be able to score that much as it currently stands. “That’s what I talked to the guys about. We’ve given up anywhere from 95 and I think the low is 58 (points),” Hines said. “Fifty eight is OK, but everything is in the 60s or 70s. We’re a team right now that’s not going to score that many points and I

don’t care what game you play – whether it’s the college or high school game – if you don’t defend and block people out, your chances of winning are slim to none. We’re not doing either one and that’s my fault.” Hines said practice moving forward will be straightforward. “We’re going to find some guys that want to defend and want to give effort. I told our guys I thought we had tremendous effort last night (Monday),” Hines said. “But our effort tonight was nonexistent. If I can’t motivate them to play, that’s on me.
