Dadeville Dixie Youth stops short of asking for Parks & Rec director’s head By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Repor ter Names were named as a clash with the Dadeville Parks and Recreation Department director came to a boiling point Tuesday. “Scott Baker is the most immediate problem, sir,” Dadeville Dixie Youth Baseball board president Phillip Moore told the city

attorney, Robin Reynolds, at Tuesday’s council meeting. Moore and two other board members approached the mayor and city council to address maintenance issues at McKelvey Park, where the little league plays baseball, which have been accruing for over three years now, according to board vice president Mike Simmons.

Dadeville Beta Club adopts E South Street By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter Dadeville High School students decided to take ownership of their home turf Saturday by picking up litter. Dadeville’s Senior Beta Club, a national service organization, recently adopted a stretch of E South Street, including the campus’s front entrance, as part of the state’s Adopt-A-Mile program. As such, students resolve to keep it clean. Five students and a teacher got to work early Saturday morning with hi-vis jackets and trash pickers lent by the Dadeville Beautification Board. Senior Beta president Cameron Brooks, a 12th-grader, approached the Dadeville City Council last month to announce their adoption of E South Street, and to “normalize and formalize” the club’s relationship with the Dadeville Beautification Board as two groups with a common interest. “I like you,” councilwoman Teneeshia GoodmanJohnson said at the meeting. Beta Club, an academic honors program, “is about community service,” club sponsor and science teacher Renatta Rives said. Students must log a certain number of service hours to be recognized as members at graduation, which they do with projects like Saturday’s litter pick-up and the cleaning of Tiger Stadium after home games. “That saves the school $200 a home game in clean-up fees,” Rives said.

PICK-UP TRUCK STRIKES DADEVILLE RESIDENCE By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Reporter A pick-up truck collided with a house in Dadeville Tuesday, lodging itself in the dining room. The Dadeville police and

volunteer fire departments were called to the scene on State Highway 49, just south of downtown, at about 6 p.m., creating a slight traffic slowdown for commuters heading out of Dadeville.

Ambulances were called to the scene with at least one person refusing medical treatment, according to an eyewitness. It is not yet known how many were involved and/ or injured. SIRI HEDREEN | THE RECORD

Dadeville police and fire departments responded to a motor-vehicle collision on State Highway 49 just south of downtown Tuesday, in which a pick-up truck struck a house.

Dadeville unveils new fieldhouse By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Dadeville’s product of multiple years of planning and construction was unveiled to the public Friday. The high school’s brand new modernized field house, complete with coach’s offices, team meeting room, weight room, locker room and equipment room, officially opened its doors after a ribbon cutting ceremony. “The community support, I couldn’t have done it without their support,” Tallapoosa County Schools superintendent Ray Porter said. “So we’re leaving a legacy for young people, which is what we said we would do when we came into office.” Porter added that his own role in the project was made easy by the people surrounding him. After securing funding, the next step for Tallapoosa County Schools was to find an architectural firm to design the facility, for which Porter and company selected McKee and Associates. Then they turned to Beasley Construction to build the See FIELDHOUSE, Page A8

whoever y’all have in charge of parks and rec is doing a horrible job, bottom line,” Simmons said. “And for y’all to sit up here and say ‘We’re going to fix it now’ and you keep doing the same thing that you’ve been doing for the past three years. You keep the same person in charge for the past three years. It’s stupidity.” Simmons’ comments were met with a round of applause from fellow attendees. The Dixie Youth volunteers were not the first to complain about the Parks & Rec director in a council meeting, with councilmen Tony Wolfe and Darryl Heard urging the mayor, charged with the “day-to-day operations,” to take action. “It’s the mayor’s job to make him do his job,” Wolfe again said Tuesday. Baker was not present at Tuesday’s meeting. But councilwoman Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson called for immediate action by the council. “Let’s stop ‘his job, our job’ — right now, tonight, we need to decide what we’re going to do, because we don’t have time to table it until the next meeting,” she said.

Dadeville Dixie Youth presented the city council with a list of the little league’s maintenance responsibilities, as patrons of the park, and a list of what they believed to be the city’s responsibilities that were now overdue. Top of that list was the burned-out lights, which meant the Dixie Youth board was having to either bring in their own lights, Moore said, or play somewhere else at night. Moore addressed the issue in a letter to the mayor and council last month, but with baseball season starting April 2 — and the next council meeting not until April 12 — the issue was coming down to the wire. The city council passed a motion to solicit bids for a licensed electrical contractor the next day, to deal with the lights issue. However, no public action was taken on Baker. “Truthfully, [I] feel like you guys want us to ask for his head, right? For us to ask you to fire him?” Moore said. “However, I am not a resident of Dadeville. I volunteer because my kid plays in Dadeville [...] But I feel like you guys want us to ask for you to fire him. That’s not our place.” The Dadeville City Council went into an executive session for about 20 minutes to discuss a person’s “good name and character.” After the executive session, the council meeting was adjourned without any further action.

ALEA kicks off spring safety campaign TPI Staff The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) is kicking off its second annual Think Smart Before You Start spring safety campaign as students of all ages and their families prepare for the end of the school year festivities such as spring break, prom and the upcoming graduation season. With the school year winding down and the weather warming up, end of the year events will soon be in full swing, Alabama citizens should plan for and expect heavier than normal traffic on roadways across the entire state. ALEA Troopers encourage parents to take the opportunity to discuss the importance of obeying all traffic laws and explain the consequences of driving distracted or impaired. “This is one of the busiest times of the year, particularly for families that are participating in spring break or end of the school year functions,” said ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor. “For high school and college students these events can be considered a rite of passage, in many instances this could be the first time traveling without their parent or chaperones. We certainly encourage everyone to think smart before you start and fully understand that the choices and decisions you make while behind the wheel can affect your life as well as the lives of others. There is never a right time to do the wrong thing, everyone must obey and follow all laws when operating

motor vehicles on Alabama’s roadways.” The same can be said for prom season, when many young inexperienced drivers will be on Alabama’s roadways traveling to and from proms or other school-related functions. Therefore, ALEA Public Affairs Officers partnered with local communities across the state and participated in a variety of prom promise events that reenforced the importance of sound decision making during this exciting time of the year. Secretary Taylor reminds parents to be aware of the hazards associated with many of the functions and festivities surrounding this time of year. Secretary Taylor added spring break travelers of all ages and those heading out right after graduation should plan their routes and inspect their vehicles to ensure they are functioning properly and are fully equipped with roadside emergency kits, water and other essentials. Several Alabama roadways are popular among out-ofstate travelers headed to the beach for spring break and/or following graduation. ALEA Troopers will focus their enforcement efforts through the end of May on traffic violations that frequently contribute to crashes that result in injury and in some cases death. Priority during this enforcement period will be speeding violations, following too closely, impaired drivers and making improper lane changes as well as those not wear-

ing seat belts and children who are unrestrained. One of the many goals of the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is to prevent crashes to save lives. “All we ask is that everyone think smart before you start,” said Taylor. ALEA offers seven spring safety tips: 1. Safety first! Review the law and discuss safety before your teens make plans for spring break, prom or graduation; and be sure you are aware of the route they will take, estimated arrival times, etc. 2. Buckle Up – no matter how short the trip. Everyone in the vehicle must buckle up. 3. Cell phones down. The driver must forget all distractions and focus on driving. 4. Obey the law. The driver must follow speed limits, do not follow too closely, do not make illegal lane changes, use the left lane for passing and move over for emergency vehicles. 5. No DUI!

Utility bills, gasoline prices and Ukraine. By DR. GLENN MOLLETTE Guest Columnistr Most of us simply want peace in our lives, nation and world. We enjoy resting in a warm or cool house, with something to eat, free from worry and stress. Peace is not always easy. This winter, chances are that your heating bill was chomping on your checking account and taking a huge bite out of your income. You may have turned your thermostat down and wore extra layers hoping to cut back on literally burning up your money. People have reported gas and electric bills from $500 to over a $1,000 for one month of trying to stay comfortable in their homes. While you are attempting to stay warm or cool, you are wondering if you can afford to start your car. Americans are seeing gas prices dance between $4.00 and over $6.00 for one gallon of gas. Filling up my old truck is pushing toward $150 at a time. When my wife goes to the grocery store the same staples seem cost more every time she goes. The current inflation is not only expensive but is chipping away at our peace. Peace? It’s hard to have peace if you go into cardiac arrest every time your utility bill arrives, you buy gasoline or go to the grocery store. If you are renting a place in America then you have a further burden as some Americans are paying over $2,000 a month to rent a house. If they can find one to rent. Russia has destroyed Ukraine and has become a major player in driving up our cost of living. We were already experiencing inflation but the entire planet is reacting to what Russia is doing to Ukraine. Do you remember when we heard the news that Osama Bin Laden had been shot by one of our seal teams? When and how will the murderous rein of Vladimir Putin end? We must hope and pray for an end to this evil. Unfortunately, the world is a difficult place for peace. The Bible assures us that in the last days there will be wars and rumors of wars. There will be pestilence, famine, and our hearts will fail us from fear. Thus, our peace must come from God who is greater than our problems. There is an internal strength and peace that comes when we focus our minds on Him. Currently millions of Ukrainians have nothing left but the shirts on their backs and whatever internal resolve and fortitude that is keeping them going. Our peace in America is very unsettling but compare your situation to millions of Ukrainians today. Pray for them and let us all give thanks for what we have.

Benefactor or idealogue O ver the years, I have discussed my observations and concepts of the two different roles or routes taken by a U.S. Senator or Congressman during their tenure in Washington. One clearly chooses one of two postures in their representation of you in Washington. Our delegates to DC are either benefactors or idealogues. The role of benefactor is much better for any state, especially Alabama. This public figure is not only a benefactor but also a facilitator and a statesman. In other words, this person is interested and diligent in bringing home federal dollars to the Heart of Dixie. The perfect example of a benefactor, facilitator and a statesman senator is our current U.S. Senator Richard Shelby. No senator in Alabama history has brought home more federal dollars to our state than Richard Shelby. He has helped Alabama more during his 36-years in the senate than any other senator. The second role is idealogue. This politician sees his role as a zealot on issues. The idealogue is more interested in advocating for popular social and non-economic issues with no regard for the state’s financial interests. Beginning in the 1930s and extending for 30 years through the 1960s, we had two of the greatest U.S. Senators in history. Lister Hill and John Sparkman were giants in Washington and were erudite diplomats for our state. They can aptly be described as benefactors, facilitators and statesmen for Alabama. During the 1970s and 1980s, we had two wellrespected and effective senators in Judge Howell Heflin and Richard Shelby. Upon arrival of Jeff Sessions in 1996, as the

Dedicated to the people of Ukraine To Pray There’s a dove in a tree. Singing happily. I wish he were singing to me. A song that has rhyme and reason, to help us all get through the seasons. Because, now days we’re all so hesitant. And, that’s because of two presidents. We’re wondering how we will ever get by. But, most of all we can’t figure out why. Out world is in such a mess.

And believe it or not many people could care less. Moms, dads, sisters, brothers and cousins. We would like to help over there, the children the wives and husbands. Of course we can pray. So, soon they will have happy days. Oh, yes we will and they will have happy days. Rebecca Catrett Equality, Alabama

Understanding tornadoes

twister word Find

Springtime in the United States is the most-active time for tornadoes. A tornado is a column of air that rotates violently, stretching down from a thunderstorm to the ground. When hot air masses slide over the top of cold air masses, the atmosphere becomes unstable. The changes in the temperature, wind direction and speed cause a swirling of winds. When the conditions are right for a tornado, these swirls are pushed up farther into the atmosphere causing the swirling winds to go from horizontal to vertical. This vertical storm is a tornado. The winds they produce can spin DR KIDZ at speeds up to 300 miles per hour, and they can travel as fast as 200 miles per hour. Their paths of destruction can go on for miles and miles. Waterspouts are tornadoes that have formed over a body of water. A tornado can begin as a transparent storm; the debris and dirt they pick up are what gives them their dark coloration. The area in the United States known as Tornado Alley sees most of these storms, although a tornado can occur anywhere and at any time of the year if the right conditions are present. The states of the Great Plains, mainly Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska, are the main areas of Tornado Alley. Tornadoes do occur in other parts of the World, such as Canada and Europe, but are most common in the United States. With the right weather conditions, a tornado can occur anywhere. A tornado’s intensity is rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale, ranging from the weakest EF0 at 40 to 72 miles per hour to the largest EF5 storm at 260 miles per hour and up. If a tornado watch is issued, it means that the conditions are perfect for a tornado to develop, and you should use caution. If a tornado warning is issued, it means that a tornado has been spotted, and you should seek shelter immediately, underground if possible!

You need: 2 empty, 2-liter soda bottles, food coloring, 1 washer, duct tape, water How To Make Your Tornado: Step One: Take both 2-liter bottles and rinse them out thoroughly. Fill one bottle 3/4’s full. Add about 6 drops of food coloring of your choice. Step Two: With the caps remaining off, place a washer on top of the bottle with water in it. Place the empty bottle on top of the other bottle with the washer between them. Make sure they are evenly lined up. Step Three: With the two bottles securely in place with the washer between them, take the duct tape and tightly wrap it around the bottle necks, sealing tightly. Step Four: Once the bottles are securely together it is time to make the tornado. In order to start the tornado you must flip the bottles over so that the full bottle is on top. As soon as they are flipped, rotate the top bottle in a circular motion for a few seconds without really tilting them. Watch as there is a tornado inside the soda bottle!

Did you know that tornadoes are especially dangerous at night? Not all tornadoes are easily seen. Many are masked by thunderstorms. Always heed the warnings of local weather officials and take cover, even if you cannot see or hear the tornado!

around and into eternity. Williams’ atheism may even help explain his already troubled “afterlife.” Ted’s desire was to triumph over death without the help of any Deity. To offer hope for his unbelief and one last hope of immortality, Ted Williams’ body now rests at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation. The baseball legend’s head and body are stored separately inside large cylindrical stainless-steel tanks at the foundation’s office. The purpose is that someday when “science becomes smarter than God” that the body parts will be thawed, reunited and Ted Williams will be back “slinging the wooden splinters” that made him famous. As far as anyone knows, Ted Williams never had his name written in the Book of Life. His success as a professional baseball player is remembered only from history books. You see, in this life, everyone has a choice to make! Each of us can “choose this day whom we will serve,” (Joshua 24:15). Or, we can absolutely refuse to make the choice, which by the way is not an option! God’s desire is that no one should perish and go to Hell, but He gives us the choice to either accept or reject Him. When the last breath is taken, there will be no more decisions to be made. Your decision time will have run out!

The Triumphant Quartet recorded the lyrics to “I’m Gonna Live Forever.” The lyrics seem to remind each of us that God does not give Heavenly reward to the best people, the most athletic person, the most educated person, the highest in society circle people, the most famous Kyle Horne people, or even to the best church going person; 334-296-1090 instead, our Eternal Home is reserved only for those who have had their name written in the Book of Life. Our eternal destination is a gift offered by God, but each individual must accept that gift. Back in the early 1940’s a young baseball slugger, who played with the Boston Red Sox, was said to have been “the greatest hitter who Dadeville Animal Clinic ever lived.” He was elected to the Baseball Hall of 566 E. South Street, Dadeville, AL 36853 Fame but dozens had been elected before him and For Appointments Call 256-825-9308 that was not good enough. Ted Williams wanted to be the one and only person to be acknowledged as the Number One Hitter of All Time and this is how he thought he would overcome death. His body Jackie Wilbourn, member of Bethel Baptist might perish but the memory of his achievement Church, a chaplain with Alabama Baptist Disaster 38669 Hwy. 77 South • Ashland would live forever.

ALEA invites public to meeting on new driver license system TPI Staff Prior to the April 26 launch of its new state-of-the-art system, the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency’s (ALEA) Driver License Division will conduct two online community meetings via Microsoft Teams providing the citizens of Alabama an opportunity to ask questions and learn more about the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Driver License System, simply known as LEADS. “Not only will LEADS consolidate multiple legacy driver license systems into one integrated, modern system, but it will further protect Alabama citizens’ personal information and enhance our customer service,” ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor said. “This project has taken a tremendous amount of dedication from

ALEA’s Driver License employees and is yet another example of our Agency’s mission of providing quality service for all, as well as a continued focus on improving communication and technology.” ALEA’s Driver License Division has scheduled two Microsoft Teams meetings at the following times: For the southern half of Alabama: Monday, April 4, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. For the northern half of Alabama: Wednesday, April 6, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. With the LEADS launch scheduled for April 26, the Agency reminds the public its Driver License Examining Offices must close statewide, and its online services will be temporarily unavailable from April 18 to April 25, for the new system to be installed along with the

current system’s data to be converted into LEADS. During the temporary closure, however, ALEA Driver License Examiners, will be available to administer Class D and CDL Road Skills Tests. Please note that citizens who complete road skills tests will not be issued a copy of their license until offices are reopened. County offices will remain open during the transitional period but strictly for revenue and probate services. To join the meetings, follow the instructions below: southern half of Alabama: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, April 4 (Includes Mobile, Baldwin, Escambia, Conecuh, Monroe, Clarke, Washington, Choctaw, Butler, Covington, Coffee, Geneva, Dale, Houston, Henry, Crenshaw, Pike, Barbour, Wilcox, Marengo, Dallas, Perry, Sumter, Greene, Hale, Bibb,

Tuscaloosa, Pickens, Chilton, Autauga, Lowndes, Coosa, Elmore, Montgomery, Tallapoosa, Macon, Bullock, Chambers, Lee, Russell, and Macon counties.)

Old 280 residents put stop to proposed name change By SIRI HEDREEN Multimedia Repor ter A motion by the mayor of Camp Hill to rename a road the “Gray-Norris Memorial Highway” died in a council meeting Monday, following nearly an hour of objections from its residents. Mayor Messiah Williams-Cole first proposed the rededication of Old 280 Road last month in memory of two Black residents, Ralph Gray, lynched in 1931, and Mae Lizzie Norris, lynched in 1947. However, the resolution was tabled at two successive council meetings to allow time for the citizens to weigh in. Old 280 Road, formerly Highway 280, was renamed in 2005 to avoid confusion with the new U.S. Highway 280 bypass that runs parallel to it. In a town hall forum on Saturday, WilliamsCole said the proposal was not just about historical preservation, but safety, as the similar street names can be confusing in an emergency response situation. Camp Hill has a volunteer fire department which often relies on Dadeville and surrounding volunteer fire departments, who are less familiar with the area, for assistance. “Something will happen on Old 280, and they’ll say, ‘I’m on 280.’ That is something that happens quite frequently,” Williams-Cole said

Saturday. “It’s a problem for law enforcement; it’s a problem for the fire department.” But Old 280 resident Linda Caldwell said another name change would be even more confusing and asked why the town couldn’t put up historical markers instead. “That would be permanent,” Caldwell said earlier this month. “No one could change it, no one could move it.” On Monday, Caldwell returned to city council to speak against the name change for a second time, this time joined by a group of Old 280 residents from both within and outside of town limits. The testimony was heard in rounds as several batches of residents filed in and out of the cramped room, which has a limited seating capacity, to weigh in against. After about 57 minutes of discussion, Williams-Cole made the motion to adopt the resolution to rename Old 280. The motion was not seconded, and thus, did not carry. Gray, a member of the Alabama Sharecroppers Union headquartered in Camp Hill, died on July 15, 1931 at the hands of a lynch mob incited by Tallapoosa County Sheriff Kyle Young and Camp Hill police Chief J.M. Wilson. Historian Robin D.G. Kelley describes it in his book, “Hammer and

Hoe.” In an article drawing on Kelley’s research, Steven Nixen writes, “The simple fact of Black organizing, not to mention the involvement of the Communist Party, terrified the region’s white power structure and made a violent confrontation almost inevitable.” Norris, a 22-year-old mother of three, was murdered on May 4, 1947 by white resident Albert Huey in a town-wide rampage. Last month, Williams-Cole shared on Facebook a contemporary article about the day Norris (referred to as “Mary Noyes”) was “wantonly killed by a hate-crazed murderer.” According to the account “Tallapoosa Terror,” Huey entered the Black section of a segregated cafe and assaulted several patrons before shooting Norris twice.

FILE | THE RECORD

In addition to his proposal to rename Old 280, Williams-Cole said he hoped to place historical markers, in partnership with the Equal Justice Initiative, on the sites where Gray and Norris were killed. Williams-Cole said he would have preferred to rename Wilson Street, which is presumed to be named after the police chief involved in the lynch mob, and Slaughter Avenue where Norris died. But according to Williams-Cole and city attorney Charles Gillenwaters, that would risk violating the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act. The act was passed in 2017 to protect Confederate monuments, but applies to the removal or rededication of any public landmark over 40 years old, if it can be proved the landmark was named after a person. Municipalities may be fined $25,000 for violating the act.

It also has intrinsic rewards, according to its members. Remarking on the pile of garbage accumulated just from a short turn around the block, “A lot more people could benefit, especially from an early age, from learning how to be more environmentally conscious,” Sean Whitley said. “From a very young age people should be taught that — as well as the impact that they can have on nature.” They should also be taught to “not drink and drive,” said Adam Ray, holding a bag of bottles, and “to have good maintenance on [their] car,” said Logan Rawls, holding up a discarded brake pad.

fieldhouse, who Porter said did a “fantastic” job. “A project like this has hundreds of moving parts,” Porter said. “The key to that is financing. Without the courage of the Tallapoosa County Commission and the former superintendent working with them to secure a tax base, none of these projects that we’re doing around the county would be possible right now.” Tallapoosa County Schools maintenance supervisor Dwayne Johnson directly oversaw the project, Porter added. Former Dadeville football head coach Richard White, who played running back and linebacker for the Tigers before joining the team’s staff as an assistant in the late 1980’s and running the show from 2000-2019, noted that it’s something for current and future athletes to be proud of. “Our kids really have something to look forward to, to come into,” White said. “They can lift weights in a room without stepping all over each other. They can dress for practice or games, they don’t have to sit on top of each other. Like I told two or three people earlier, this room [the weight room] is about as big as that old fieldhouse.” Current Dadeville football coach and athletic director Roger McDonald added that the new facility is as much a point of pride for the community as it is for his players. “If you have a community that supports and pushes the kids the way ours does, it helps the kids to continue to work and be motivated,” McDonald said. “When I got here this was already in the works. I am so grateful to everybody that

was involved in the planning, putting this in place, everyone. My job now is to help instill pride in these kids to take pride in this building.” Then of course, there’s the developmental advantages of an updated place to train. Few schools in Class 3A have facilities that compare to the Tigers’ new building. It’s a massive upgrade over the previous fieldhouse, which contained a weight room McDonald referred to as “archaic” — the floor prevented players from doing explosive exercises such as hang cleans,

ALL-RECORD PLAYER OF THE YEAR:

JORDAN RAMBO By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director

o winter sports team covered by The Record made it further in the AHSAA playoffs than Dadeville boys basketball. And no player did more to help them get there than junior forward Jordan Rambo. An all-around star with D-1 genetics, Rambo’s well-rounded game and ability to fuel team success have made him the 2021-22 AllRecord Player of the Year for boys basketball. “That joker lives in our gym,” Dadeville coach Jesse Foster said. “Since the season ended he’s been in there. He stays in that gym. He was in there last night, I just leave a key in the mailbox. He puts in the work, and you can just tell, it shows when he gets on that court.” Rambo might be the Player of the Year for his on-court performance, but he’s made a clear impact off the floor as well. The young star loves being around people and volunteers with youth at a local church. Teachers and coaches rave about how much of a “great kid” he is. “He’s always been a people person,” Reggie Rambo, Jordan’s father, said during The Record’s profile of his son in January. “He loves hanging out with his friends, going fishing and hunting and different things like that. Riding 4-wheelers and side-by-sides, stuff like that. Outside [of basketball], his outside activities, he likes to keep himself busy in a positive way.” Reggie Rambo played three seasons of SEC basketball at Alabama himself.

Following his high school days at Peabody in Lena, Louisiana, his best season with the Crimson Tide was his sophomore year. He averaged 7.2 minutes and 2.3 points per game. Still, the younger Rambo has been carving out his own path with the Tigers. He averaged a double-double for Dadeville this season, playing both guard and forward depending on where he was needed in the lineup. It’s been enough to garner collegiate attention. From several mid-major D-1 programs and, to a lesser extent, his father’s alma mater. “I’m still feeling options out,” Rambo said in January. “I really like Jacksonville State. I talk to Alabama but that’s high-grade, high-level basketball. But JSU, Alabama State, schools like that.” As a team Dadeville made a run all the way to the AHSAA Class 3A Elite Eight for a third straight year, though the team fell short of reaching its first Final Four since the 1980s by one point in overtime against Houston Academy. That game snapped a 13-game winning streak. Rambo will return alongside star guards Philstavious Dowdell and Antojuan Woody to try and finally break through that barrier in the 2022-23 campaign.

All-Record Coach of the Year: Jeremy Freeman By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director The vision is now here. When Benjamin Russell basketball coach Jeremy Freeman was hired to coach the Wildcats in 2019, the program hadn’t had a winning season since its 2014-15 campaign. He entered about as bad a situation as one could expect, reflected by a 3-16 record in his first season at the top. Still, he said that one day, he’d bring a state championship back to Alexander City, and now that goal is closer than ever. Just two years after the three-win tumult, Benjamin Russell won its area championship and reached the AHSAA Class 6A Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008. And the team is set up for even more success in 2022-23. After orchestrating his team’s unexpected run, Freeman has been named the 2021-22 All-Record boys basketball Coach of the Year. “Hats off to all those guys for participating in the process, because you know, that was not easy for us,” Freeman said when discussing some of the key players on his team. “And when you look at it for what we got — we got the max out of them.” Freeman’s strategy for the season started by getting his players experience against the best competition he could, which included a home-andhome with Class 7A Auburn, a playoff team from Alabama’s top division. They lost both those games, but each by seven points or less. That close nature of games proved habitual for the Wildcats throughout the season. The team won a triple-overtime thriller over Dadeville, beat rival Opelika on last-second free throws by eighth grader Cederian Morgan and bested Sylacauga on a layup from junior forward Corri Milliner with 10 seconds remaining. “We always speak about everybody having an important part, and that was a true situation tonight,” Freeman said after the latter victory. “Just hats off to the whole team for fighting out there tonight.” Following a 5-4 start that included a loss against Central Coosa, Freeman’s prior coaching stop, the Wildcats embarked on a six-game winning streak that included three wins in area play, clinching home court for their area championship. They closed the regular season 13-6. Benjamin Russell beat Stanhope Elmore for a third time in its next contest, this time a 77-56 shellacking that included a 27-4 third quarter. It was the first area championship for the Wildcats since 2018. “I’m just proud for the city, for the school, the parents. This was dedicated to them. I’d just like

to say I’m so happy to be a part of it,” Freeman said at the time. Winning that game meant Benjamin Russell got to host its sub-regional playoff game, where it met a 21-win Chilton County team. The Tigers were declawed 88-82 and the Wildcats had reached Montgomery for regionals for the first time in 14 years. To put that in perspective, Morgan, the team’s starting center, hadn’t even been born yet. They were heavy underdogs against McGillToolen in the Sweet 16, a team with a top 100 national recruit in Barry Dunning and a 25-4 record with only two losses to schools within Alabama. The Wildcats led by 15 at two different points in the second half before taking the state title favorite to overtime and falling 82-74. “Basketball is a funny, funny game,” Freeman

said after the loss. “We had so many highs and lows. We were as high as you can get at one time. Just couldn’t get it going from there.” The stars that guided Benjamin Russell to that point can all return next season. Milliner is just a junior, as is leading scorer and star guard Quez Thompson. Point guard Chris Foster, the team’s leading 3-point scorer and distributor, is a sophomore. Morgan returns after posting a few varsity double-doubles while still in junior high. Even two of the team’s top options off the bench, guards La’Bronski McKinney and Ty Williams, return next year. “We’re way ahead of the curve in terms of expectations, we know where we can go now,” Freeman said. “We’ve had a taste of what it takes to take us there. But we’re just gonna work to get stronger and better in what we do.”

The Dadeville Record

The 2021-22 All-Record boys basketball team By TPI STAFF With the dust settled on the 202122 boys basketball season in the state of Alabama, The Record wanted to take some time to recognize the top players from its coverage area this year. The five first- and five secondteam selections are guard heavy, with seven of the 10 handling the ball from outside. Not to say this year’s area teams were unbalanced, as much is disproven by the fact that all five made the playoffs and three made regionals in Montgomery. Dadeville junior forward Jordan Rambo, the 2021-22 All-Record Player of the Year, is not included in this list. Benjamin Russell head man Jeremy Freeman landed Coach of the Year as well Wednesday. Without further ado, here’s the list: FIRST TEAM Philstavious Dowdell, Dadeville junior Dadeville’s hyper-athletic shooting guard is one of two players here with the rare distinction of making first-team All-Record in both football and basketball. Not only did Dowdell have the burst, hops and agility to be an elite scorer around-the-rim, he added some production beyond the arc and proved one of the team’s best on-ball defenders. “He can guard the best guy on the other team, and he’s just so athletic and so humble,” Dadeville coach Jesse Foster said. “Just a great kid, a great athlete. I just love coaching him.” Klark James, Horseshoe Bend junior A well-rounded inside-outside scoring game is the staple of a few players on this list, and it certainly applies to James. Horseshoe Bend’s point guard is a creative finisher around the rim with excellent handles and a silky jump shot, making him a consistent threat to score 20 on a given night. “He just showed up this year, put in that hard work, did everything he was supposed to,” Horseshoe Bend

coach Chad Kison said. “Just loves the game of basketball. You could tell this year by how he played.” Corri Milliner, Benjamin Russell junior Milliner joins Dowdell as the only two area athletes to make first-team in both basketball and football, and the same length and high-point abilities that served him at wide receiver made him a defensive powerhouse. No local player recorded more steals, mainly due to interceptions. On the offensive end his flash and incredible leaping ability made him a sight to behold near the rim. “Corri Milliner does a great job of completing the game for us on the defensive end, taller guys,” Freeman said. “It puts a bind on the other team because he is not an inside threat. So he makes a defensive matchup for the other team. That’s very valuable. He’s a good rebounder, and he leads the break. And he finishes the break really well.” Demarkus Sandlin, Central Coosa junior He may be a small forward but Sandlin certainly isn’t a small figure on the basketball court. His length, strength and overall athleticism created problems for opposing defenses all season, to the tune of a team-leading 15.8 points per game. He added 1.2 blocks to that total. “Every time he’s out there, it’s his length, it’s his aggressiveness, his defense,” Central Coosa coach Richard Bell said. “That’s always been great. But the biggest thing was this year, I really challenged him on being out there and being team-first, playing a team game. And that’s what he did the whole year. I was really proud of him.” Quez Thompson, Benjamin Russell junior The last player listed as first-team only because his last name comes last alphabetically, Thompson proved the most complete scorer of any player covered by the paper in his time as Benjamin Russell’s shooting guard this year. His 3-point, midrange and interior game all proved lethal as he racked up multiple 30-point games

for the Wildcats. “Really did a great job providing a scoring punch, inside, outside,” Freeman said. “He was able to find himself at the free throw line quite frequently. Quez also started developing the sense of when to score and when it was time to make a play. He really did a great job this year of advancing his game from just one of the players on the team to a player that we’re looking to provide a kick for us.” SECOND TEAM Trae Butler, Central Coosa senior Butler’s personality and play style were ideal for the classic role of a floor general point guard in Central Coosa’s run to the regional tournament in Montgomery. One of the area’s best on-ball defenders, he paired his team-high 3.2 steals per game with three assists and 10.5 points per contest. “Trae is more the energizer bunny,” Bell said in January. “He’s always high-strung. He’s our best defender, he’s always going to get everybody involved in the offense and the defense.” Chris Foster, Benjamin Russell sophomore The margin between Foster, Milliner and Thompson for first- and second-team was razor thin. Foster could create his own open 3s out of similarly thin air with his James Hardenesque stepback, but also fit the bursty athletic identity of Thompson and Milliner, making the Wildcats one of the better transition teams in the state. His skills as a distributor also showed through from his point guard position. “Just electric,” Freeman said. “He does a lot of things that come just naturally to him. Really cerebral guy. Tries to take games, content, and makes a lot of plays with the ball and without the ball. He’s also a competitive defensive player and really does a great job of closing out quarters for us.” Marcus Haynes, Reeltown senior Being a three-stat leader tends to lend itself to lists like these. That’s

exactly what Haynes was for the Rebels, collecting more points (13.9) rebounds (8.2) and steals (2.8) per game than any other Reeltown player. His leadership and presence as a senior were also vital, per coach Jonathan Gardner. “He carried us the whole year,” Gardner said. Holt Tidwell, Horseshoe Bend senior Horseshoe Bend’s brightest threesport star ended his basketball career with another stellar season, a go-to scoring option beyond the arc in particular. The ability to knock down free throws also contributed to his scoring in, including a 10-for-10 night at the line against Central of Clay County. “Holt’s been with me for seven years, he’s been playing basketball, every sport for seven years,” Kison said. “He’s an unbelievable athlete and really brings the team together, just does what he’s supposed to do and does it every night. Very consistent.” Antojuan Woody, Dadeville junior Rambo may have been Dadeville’s focal point and Dowdell may have been its best all-around athlete, but in crunch time Woody was the guy who earned the right to have the rock. He could finish from all sorts of angles. He could knock down jumpers. He led on defense and in team huddles. Foster can take it from here. “He’s just like a bulldog,” Foster said. “That joker just wants it. Clutch time, he wants to guard the best guy, he wants to take the big shot.” HONORABLE MENTIONS Benjamin Russell: La’Bronski McKinney (jr.), Cederian Morgan (8th), Ty Williams (jr.)

Nevertheless, today at work or with health-related matters, or even when dealing with a pet, you might face shortages, delays and glitches. Things will improve after the Moon Alert is over. Tonight: Cooperate. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) This is a strong day because both the Sun and the Moon are in your fellow Fire signs, which supports and empowers you. However, be mindful of the restrictions of the Moon Alert. Nevertheless, this is a creative, playful day! Enjoy! Tonight: Work. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) This is a good day to relax at home among familiar surroundings if you can swing it, even though you might encounter shortages and mixed-up communications. Avoid domestic decisions until the Moon Alert is over. Nevertheless, this can be an easygo-

ing day. Tonight: Relax. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Be careful when talking to others, because most of today is a Moon Alert, which happens to be taking place in your House of Communications. Make no promises to anyone. Don’t volunteer for anything. Just tread water. Tonight: Cocoon at home. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) It’s important for you to know that today the Moon Alert is taking place in your Money House, which means to restrict your spending -- for sure -- to food and gas. Avoid other purchases or nancial decisions until the Moon Alert is over. Tonight: Study. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This is a creative day for you, which means you are full of imaginative ideas because you’re thinking outside the box. Write down these ideas and keep them in mind, but don’t implement them or act upon them until the Moon Alert is over, especially because the Moon is in your sign. Tonight: Work. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You will feel good if you can cocoon at home and keep a low prole. Some of you will be more involved than usual with a parent. Don’t make important decisions today until the Moon Alert is over. Ditto for spending money. Tonight: Be strong. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You value your friendships, and today is a wonderful day to hang out with friends or groups. There’s a fuzzy quality to the day because of the Moon Alert. Wait until it’s over to agree to anything important. You’ll be glad you did. Get some physical exercise. Tonight: Solitude. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Do not volunteer for anything today, and be mindful of discussions with bosses and parents, because the Moon Alert is taking place at the top of your chart. Wait until this is over before you make decisions. Until then, just coast. Tonight: Listen to advice.
