Fuller and the staff at Lake Martin Area United Way got to work. But Fuller asked the girls to help too.

“The girls picked the menu — hamburgers, hotdogs and banana pudding,” Fuller said. “Somebody asked how that went together. I said the girls put it together.”

Blackberry Breeze was there too with a little concert to which everyone danced.

Girls Ranch director Candice Gulley loved having the agency

appreciation dinner at the ranch.

“It is a great opportunity for us to all get together,” Gulley said. “Over the summer we really haven’t been together. COVID-19 is still affecting and keeping us separated. This outdoor event lets us connect and have a little fun together. It is a good relationship builder.”

The ranch doesn’t just work with the United Way. “A lot of the agencies that are partners with the United Way serve our ranch,” Gulley said. “We work with Rape Counselors of East Alabama, Tri-County Children’s Advocacy Center and the East Alabama Food Bank. They all assist us.”

Fuller said the agencies don’t get enough credit for all the work they do and this just a small way to show them a little love and appreciation.

“The United Way board always thanks the agencies because they do all the hard work,” Fuller said.

“Sometimes they don’t get thanked.

They do a lot of our work. This is a way to say thank you for the support they give our community and United Way family.”

Gulley said it was an opportunity for the residents of the Girls Ranch to see just a few of those who care and love the residents.

“It is good for the girls to see their community is a lot bigger than this ranch,” Gulley said.

In the meantime, Lake Watch is working on action strategies to continue monitoring of the lake’s water and to develop an alert system for lake residents and visitors any time an area of the lake is contaminated with E. coli and unsafe for swimming.

More than 20 area residents answered a recent appeal for water monitor volunteers.

Reutebuch would like for the swim alert plan to include a dozen testing sites at popular swimming locations around the lake, with results posted or reported regularly through a variety of outlets, including The Outlook, lake stakeholder websites and blogs and on the swimmingguide.com app.

“The Coosa River has a very good program that we could look into,” he suggested.

“We don’t want to go around sending people into a panic, and we don’t want to shut down farming, but we don’t want to minimize the potential danger,” he said. “This is Alabama’s only Treasured Lake, and we don’t want to tarnish that designation.”

This pink ribbon is your sign to get a mammogram

T

hanks to modern medicine, breast cancer is not always a death knell. In the “localized” stage— meaning the cancer has not spread outside the breast — women have a 99% survival rate, according to the American Cancer Society.

But without early detection, once the cancer spreads to the rest of the body, that rate drops to 28%.

Benjamin Russell High School teacher and breast cancer survivor Elizabeth Strickland uses her story as a teaching moment for her students. After delaying her mammogram appointment for a year, her husband threatened to drag her in there himself.

Sure enough, they detected breast cancer.

As Strickland tells her students and The Outlook, “Early detection is key; I’m a big proponent of that.”

One in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes (and one in 833 men).

That’s why October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month — not because the illness is so severe, but because it is so common.

Devoting an entire month to the disease not only remembers those who have passed, but ensures many more will survive.

A pink ribbon is not just an empty gesture if it reminds someone to get her mammogram.

Opinion The

Seniority vs senility O

ur senior senator, Richard Shelby, will be remembered as Alabama’s most prominent senator when he retires next December. Folks, that’s saying a lot because we have had a host of prominent men serve Alabama in the United States Senate, such as giants like Lister Hill, John Sparkman and John Bankhead. However, history will record that none of these above senators brought the federal dollars back home to Alabama that Shelby has procured.

Seniority is omnipotent in Washington. It is everything, and Senator Shelby has it.

He is in his 35th year in the U.S. Senate. He has already broken Senator Sparkman’s 32-year record of longevity in Alabama history and at the end of his term next year he will have served a record 36 years in the Senate. In addition, Shelby was the U.S. Congressman for the old 7th Congressional district for eight years.

Shelby has not only been the most prolific funneler of federal dollars to Alabama in our state’s history, but he could also be considered one of the most profound movers and shakers of federal funds to their state in American history. His only rival was the late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia. Senator Byrd, who was in his ninth term as a senator when he died at 92, funneled an estimated $10 billion to his constituents during his 51 years in the Senate.

The obvious question asked by observers of Washington politics is, “Are some of our most powerful senators too old to function cognitively?”

I can attest to you that I know Senator Richard Shelby personally and he is the most cognitively alert and healthy

STEVE FLOWERS Columnistt 87-year-old man I have ever seen. He works out daily and has the memory of an elephant. In fact, his mental and cognitive abilities are similar to someone 30 years his junior. He very well could run and serve another 6-year term. However, he will be 88 at the end of his term.

Shelby is one of five octogenarians serving in the Senate. California’s Dianne Feinstein is the oldest sitting senator at 88. She is followed

by Iowa’s Charles “Chuck” Grassley who turns 88 next month. Shelby is the third at 87. James Inhofe of Oklahoma and Senator Pat Leahy of Vermont are 81. By the way, Grassley and Leahy are Shelby’s closest allies in the Senate.

The question becomes, “How old is too old to be a U.S. senator?” According to the Congressional Research Service, the average age of senators at the beginning of this year is 64-years. At some point voters have to weigh, “Is my senator too old to perform the duties of the office or does the weight and power of their seniority and the benefit of their influence to the state outweigh their energy and cognizance?” Voters tend to go with experience and seniority over youth.

Senator Feinstein has been the most widely discussed current senator for decline in health. Liberals believe she was too conciliatory during Supreme Court nominee Amy Comey Barrett’s confirmation hearing. There is a pervasive whispering campaign about

Feinstein’s alleged cognitive decline and the Democratic senior leadership has indeed quietly removed her as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee.

It was common knowledge and apparent that Senator Shelby’s predecessor as Chairman of Appropriations, Senator Thad Cochran of Mississippi, was not very cognitive in his last years in the Senate although he was younger, chronically. The most notable example of possibly staying too long is probably the story of legendary Senator Strom Thurman of South Carolina. In 2003 Strom Thurman retired at the age of 100 after 48 years in the Senate. It was no secret that his staff did everything for him during his last six-yearterm.

Our founding fathers created a minimum age for serving in the U.S. House or Senate but did not address a maximum. The owner of Grub’s Pharmacy used by many on Capitol Hill in Washington raised eyebrows in 2017 when he revealed he routinely sent Alzheimer’s medication to Capitol Hill.

There are continuing attempts to pass a Constitutional Amendment to limit terms of Congressmen and Senators.

Republicans run on the issue of term limits. It was part of their contract with America Agenda in 1994.

Alabamians need to consider being for term limits in 2022, because it comes down to the old adage of whose ox is being gourd. We in Alabama are going to be up the proverbial creek without a paddle after Shelby. He is our power in Washington. We need to all jump on the term limit bandwagon beginning next year.

See you next week.

A reminder to never give up

T

he Atlanta Braves are playing for a shot at the World Series. My wife and I are watching the game, cheering loudly, occasionally shouting expletives and flinging popcorn at the TV screen.

But as I watch America’s Team grind against the insufferable odds, locked in a barbarous battle against the LA Dodgers, I’m thinking about other things. Life things.

Because say what you will about these spoiled professional athletes, but these guys on the TV don’t give up. They never give up.

And that’s what has me thinking.

During last night’s game, for example, the Braves were behind, and the commentators were predicting a skull-crushing loss. They experts said the Braves didn’t have a shot in a wintery hell. But they won.

This game. Same old story.

The pundits all claimed Atlanta could never wallop the chosen team from Los Angeles. But the Braves are fighting.

Bear with me, I know this baseball analogy is getting ridiculously boring. What I’m getting at is, these twentysomething multimillionaire athletes refuse to fall down and die. They do not give up. They will not give up. And I wish I were more like that.

In my life as a writer, I have been fortunate enough to meet and interview a lot of people who have faced dire scenarios and taken on the devil without flinching.

Children with leukemia. Old men who survived numbered wars. Single mothers who raised families on shoestring budgets.

And the one quality I notice in all these remarkable people— simple as it may sound—is that they never give up. Not ever.

SEAN DIETRICH H Columnist Take my mother. She is perhaps the strongest person I know. She possesses a strength I will never fully understand. She survived a husband who beat her, tried to kill her, and then survived his subsequent suicide.

After that, she went on to survive single-motherhood, thankless jobs, and the rigors of raising an American teenage boy who had an appetite like a hypoglycemic water buffalo.

And her trials didn’t stop there. When Mama reached the retirement phase of life, when most people her age start kicking back, buying RVs, touring national parks, and drinking Mai Tais in their muumuus, my mother developed a rare autoimmune disorder.

Her disease mystified doctors.

Many a trained medical man looked at my frail mother and said, “You are going to die, ma’am.”

The disease was punching blueberry-sized holes into her muscles, and it was moving toward her heart. Mama whittled down to ninety-some pounds.

Her hair became thin. There was a catheter port implanted in her gaunt neck. At her worst, she looked like a skeleton covered in skin.

But somehow she survived.

The doctors at Emory University Hospital remarked that, throughout their combined careers, they had never seen a woman so doggedly tough.

Mama beat the rap and lived to tell. She never gave in. She never gave up.

But here’s the thing:

I do.

I give up all the time. Yes. I admit it freely, I am not a fighter.

I surrender too easily. In my life, I have gone through some very hard times—just like you. But the big difference between you and me is, whereas you probably keep going, whereas you keep smiling, whereas you keep staying positive, I usually don’t.

I have my blackbelt in the art of sucking my thumb. I’ve always been this way. Growing up, I was the kid who got his feelings hurt and ran off crying for Mama. And I did this until I was roughly in my thirties.

I am not a strong man. In fact, sometimes I don’t know what I am.

Still, on nights like tonight, when watching these young ball players dance across a green field in Atlanta, chasing a fiveounce stitched leather ball, I find myself inspired by the memory of the woman who reared me.

And I find myself humbled, too.

Above all, I find myself making a silent vow to myself.

A promise I will probably break, but one I mean just the same: One of these days I’m going to be a stronger version of me.

I swear it. Someday I am going to be less afraid. Someday I will worry less about horrible things—most of which will never happen.

One day, I’ll be so strong you won’t even recognize me.

And on that day, I hope some other hapless and defeated child, sucking his or her thumb, might look at me and feel courage.

Anyway, after the Atlanta Braves win the big game, I hear my phone vibrate on my side table. I pick it up.

“Braves win,” texts my mother.

Because, you see, that’s what happens when you refuse to give up.

Campers decorated their campsites and donned costumes for the annual Boo Weekend at Wind Creek State Park.

BOO Continued from A1

8 or 9 years for this,” New Site resident Terry Norwood said. “We have been adding to this haunted house every year.

We decorate just for the little ones.”

Norwood joins his family and friends to provide what might be the biggest one day attraction at the park, a temporary haunted house. But Norwood doesn’t allow anyone in early.

“It needs to be dark,” Norwood said.

Until dark Norwood still has fun at the entrance to the B section of the campground.

Norwood and others will get in costume standing as statues of clowns, ghosts and more. Children and adults alike will approach, knowing a scare could be on the way.

For some Norwood will stand stoically, especially for those taunting him for the scare. Then as they turn to walk away Norwood springs into action. With an air horn blaring, Norwood reaches for a now unsuspecting person. Screams quickly come, soon followed by laughs of Norwood and the scare victim.

Shane Wall has joined in the fun. Saturday before the haunted house Wall was dressed as a clown. Standing stoically at times and at others

walking in pace just behind trick or treaters.

One teenager thought she couldn’t be scared because of the protection of a truck. Norwood and Wall were soon in the bed of the pickup with the victim screaming and shaking. They back off and Wall shakes the victim's hand.

“We have fun with it,” Wall said. “We probably have more fun than those seeking the scares.”

Trick or treaters approach Norwood’s campsite for treats before the haunted house opens at dark.

“We gave out more than 400 bags of candy last year in a little over an hour,” Wall said. ‘We have about 600 bags this year.”

Just over an hour again and the candy was gone.

But Norwood and Wall have even more fun with the haunted house that has grown over the years.

“The costume I had last year, this one kid about

my son’s age, I stepped out and got punched twice,” Wall said. “I scared him that bad. We have a good time with it.”

This year’s costume is special, reminding him of a buddy, Marine Sgt. Stacy Green who died in Afghanistan. The costume was simple, Green’s Marine-issued gas mask and hood.

“It’s simple,” Wall said. “My dog got a sneak peak of it Thursday. He is about ready to be on valium.”

As dark approaches, a line starts to form.

It's a scenario Norwood is familiar with as it has happened at his campsite at previous Boo Weekends and it’s not just the day of the haunted house.

“These kids have been coming by since Monday when I started,” Norwood said. “They are talking to me, asking me what’s in it. Telling me they have been looking forward to it every year. They know it

gets better every year. We added two extra rooms this year.”

The extra rooms slow movement through the haunted house.

“In the past, they would get scared and run straight through,” Norwood said. “Now there is a zig zag. You are in there and have to find your way out.”

But Norwood and Wall aren’t out to scare everyone.

“We got some who think they aren’t scared,” Norwood said. “We have codes we call in. Others who are truly scared, we back off. We don’t try to scare everybody, just the ones who don’t think they can be.”

Boo Weekend just demonstrates what Norwood has come to know at Wind Creek State Park, no one leaves a stranger.

“We just enjoy the people here,” Norwood said. “You can walk to anybody you want to and ask for anything and they will help you.”

Boo Weekend isn’t the only reason Norwood comes to Wind Creek State Park.

“We come out here constantly,” Norwood said. “We spend numerous weekends here. This is our home away from home. This is how we get away from home. Every holiday that comes up, we come out. If it just looks like a pretty weekend, we come out.”

Stephens Elementary School assistant principal Lekisha Richardson and John Thompson hold a quilt with the first 10 T-shirts created for the annual cleanup.

CLEANUP Continued from A1

“Y’all did a great job,” Thompson told the budding artists Wednesday morning. “When I walked in this room and saw all this great artwork, my eyes just popped open.

I thought, ‘what a great bunch of artists we have here.’”

Thompson said the selection of a winner was difficult.

“Yours is right there with the best we ever had, y’all did a great job,” Thompson said. “It was tough to come up with the winner we used on the T shirt. We could have used

any of them. Unfortunately we only had room for one of them.”

Edwards image is the 11th time a Stephens Elementary School student’s artwork has graced a shirt for the cleanup and Thompson had a special presentation for the school.

“We have had 10 years of artwork and we are going to present a quilt to the school that has all 10 years of shirts in it,” Thompson said. “Doing this for 10 years is special.

The quilt is great. I can look and I remember every one of them.”

Griffith said she is trying to present all of the students’ work.

“We are going to

try to do an art show,” Thompson said. “We want to show them all off.”

Thompson was pleased to see so many of the students putting themselves in scenes free of litter or cleaning up around Lake Martin.

“We are happy to know you love Lake Martin and we hope you help us keep it clean,” Thompson said. “We need to make sure the litter is picked up. Everytime you see a piece of litter, pick it up.

Call your parents attention to it.”

Thompson encouraged the students to take part in the annual cleanup Nov. 5 and 6.

“Get your parents and come down to Wind Creek

(State Park),” Thompson said. “We will make pickers available and let you go through the park and pick up to help keep it clean.”

DADEVILLE ADVANCES TO

SUPER REGIONAL ANDY ANDERS | THE RECORD

Benjamin Russell coach Magan Ford addresses her team during a timeout against Stanhope Elmore Thursday, Oct. 14.

Stanhope Elmore ends Benjamin Russell’s season in frustrating fashion

By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Unfortunately for Benjamin Russell Thursday, the third time turned out to be the charm for Stanhope Elmore.

The Wildcats needed a win in the first round of area tournament play to extend their season at the Wetumpka High School gymnasium, and were playing a team in the Mustangs they’d beaten in four sets on two occasions earlier this season.

Thursday, it was Stanhope who bested Benjamin Russell in four sets.

Match point may remain a topic of contention for some time after a controversial call, but the fact stands that the careers of four seniors came See BRHS, Page 12

here was an unwieldy silence that fell over Dadeville’s bench during post-match festivities for their area tournament championship at Beulah.

The Tigers took second place out of the three-team bracket, beating Reeltown in straight sets, but a tight four-set loss to the at-home Bobcats made for some mixed emotions.

Few smiles were shared as the All-Area team was announced and Dadeville accepted a runnerup trophy. The team qualified for next week’s super regional tournament in Montgomery, that much is true. But Beulah, the team that handed the Tigers their only regular season loss, a team they’d beat when the two sides rematched in the regular season, kept them a few points short of an area championship.

“We couldn’t come out in the end. I think it was two great ball games though,” Dadeville coach Vicky McDonald said. “That first game was the best I’ve seen them play all year. No free balls, a lot of bump, set, spike. Gave up a little more of that in the second game, but overall I think it was a really good game.”

ANDY ANDERS | THE RECORD

Natori Giles (left) and Layla Grace (right) were named first-team All-Area for Dadeville Wednesday.

Two of the three sets Dadeville lost were decided by volleyball’s minimum two-point margin.

The most hotly contested was the third set. With the match tied 1-1 going in, Beulah inched out to a 16-13 lead before middle blocker D’aja Caldwell and hitter Enajhe Swink alternated kills as part of a four-point Dadeville rally to give the Tigers a 17-16 lead.

From there the teams traded blows back-and-forth, with another Caldwell kill opening

the first two-point edge either way in some time with a 22-20 Dadeville advantage. That fed into two game points for the Tigers at 24-22, but they gave away a point on a service error and ended a long volley with a passing error to even the score.

Another seemingly endless volley four points later gave Beulah a 27-25 third-set victory, setting up its 25-21 win in the fourth to take the match.

Such air-tight sets were See DADEVILLE, Page 12

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) There’s tough energy in the air today.

For some, it will trigger arguments and disputes with partners, close friends and authority gures. However, you also can use this same feisty energy to get things done -- a wiser and more productive choice.

Tonight: Patience.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Disputes about politics, religion or racial issues might easily arise today.

Don’t even go there. This is a waste of energy. Instead, use this same energy to be productive at work.

You also can use this energy to work out and get physical exercise. Your choice. Tonight: Choose.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Parents must be patient with their kids today to avoid confrontations.

Likewise, romantic partners need to be patient with each other to avoid nasty arguments. Meanwhile, this same energy to ght can be channeled in a different way and used in sports or creative ways. Tonight: Be smart.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Family conicts and domestic arguments might take place today.

However, you have a choice. Instead, you can use this same energy to move furniture around and make improvements at home, especially improvements that require physical energy. This choice is a no-brainer.

Tonight: Relax.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Today you are high-viz, which is why people might know personal details about your private life. (Like, what’s with that?) This might put you on edge, which, in turn, could trigger arguments. Do not say something you will regret later. Tonight: Keep busy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Money disputes are likely today, or perhaps disputes about something that you own. To put a positive spin on this, look for ways to improve what you already own. You might see new uses and applications for it. (Could that rusty barbecue be a shabby chic oor lamp?) Tonight: Get creative.

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Right now, the Sun, retrograde Mercury and ery Mars are all in your sign, which totally hypes your energy! You can use this energy to argue with others, or you can use this energy to improve something, especially your own body or your appearance. Tonight: Get pumped!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might feel rankled or suspicious about something going on behind the scenes. Don’t let this get you down. You are excellent at dealing with hidden agendas. (“Secrets” is my middle name.) Be investigative and resist the urge to retaliate against someone. Tonight: Easy does it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) This is a popular time for you, especially because you might be involved with younger people or people you haven’t seen in a while -- people from your past. You’re very good at keeping your trapline fresh, because you know how to stay in touch with others. Tonight: Avoid arguments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) People admire you now; meanwhile, some of you are involved with parents or bosses you haven’t seen in a while. This could be an opportunity for some serious catching up. Resist the urge to defy authority, be rebellious or challenge someone today.

It’s not worth it. Tonight: Be mellow.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be involved in feisty discussions about politics, religion or racial or social issues today. They could be nasty. It’s impossible to ght prejudice, because prejudice was never based on logical facts in the rst place. Avoid these disputes.

Tonight: Enjoy discussions with creative pals.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be at odds with someone today about shared property, inheritances, insurance issues or something to do with debt or what you hold jointly with someone else. This could involve shared responsibilities.

Don’t waste today ghting. Instead, use this energy to look for a win-win solution. Tonight: Peace.

The Dadeville Record

What’s the ceiling for this Auburn team?

I

t never ceases to amaze me how a little time and patience can drastically alter one’s perspective. It was only three weeks ago that Auburn stumbled and bumbled their way to a comeback win over Georgia State and were extremely fortunate to do so. After that performance, a winning record seemed like a long shot, not to mention any kind of significant bowl appearance. Well, a lot can happen in three weeks and usually does in a college football season. The Tigers went on the road to Baton Rouge and won for the first time since 1999, got beat at home by the No. 1 team in the country and soundly defeated No. 17 Arkansas in another road upset. Auburn, now 5-2 overall and 2-1 in the SEC, is in complete control of its own destiny with no final scenario unthinkable. For the record, I don’t believe the Tigers will win out, but they are definitely showing signs

He added 42 yards on the ground and was responsible for three TDs. The players were frustrated against Georgia State. The coaches were frustrated. The fans were frustrated. The mascot was frustrated. It looked like everyone of progress and Bo Nix may just had lost a little faith in Bo Nix have turned a corner. including himself. Then, something Apparently, the benching happened against LSU. Bo started, of Bo Nix in week four had an played well and seemed to restore incredibly positive effect on him a lot of that faith. He looked like and he has played like a different a QB with complete confidence guy ever since. Nix threw for 255 in himself and his teammates yards against LSU and ran for Saturday in Fayetteville. They also another 74 yards accounting for looked like a team who believed two TDs. He threw for 217 yards in their leader.

impossible. I certainly don’t believe Auburn has played their best game yet this season. Tank Bigsby actually started to look a lot like Tank Bigsby on Saturday, but the running game overall still isn’t nearly as productive as it needs to be. Arkansas ran 89 plays against the AU defense. The Tigers continue to have trouble with a consistent pass rush and receivers continue to run wide-open. While all of that is absolutely true, I really like the Tigers chances against Ole Miss, Miss State and South Carolina. Auburn has played extremely well in College Station and has a reasonable chance to win that game. I’m not counting any of those games as wins quite yet, but it would set up another unbelievably classic Iron Bowl for all the marbles. Those have actually worked out pretty well for the Tigers in the past. Oh well, the mind just tends to wander during the bye week.

Comer pulled ahead in the third set in part due to some miscommunications on serve receive by the Generals, as the Tigers’ Micaiah Harris recorded three consecutive aces in the late game for a 25-23 Comer win.

“It’s kind of how we’ve played all year, just kind of up and down, up and down, we can’t ever finish it,” Turner said. “We haven’t figured it out all year. I was hoping by this time in the postseason we’d have figured it out, how to overcome that, but we haven’t.”

Youth perhaps played a factor, as Horseshoe Bend’s team features no seniors and just three juniors after six fourth-years departed following the 2020 campaign.

It wasn’t all bad performances for Horseshoe Bend in the maxset standoff, though.

“It’s sad, but this year we also added a third team,” Hilyer said. “I always tell the seniors, you paved the way for the future.

For the Wildcats, whose mantra has been “fight” all season, they weren’t going down so easy.

“The seniors, they stepped up, they could have easily felt sorry for themselves, given up when we were down by six but that’s just the people that they are,” Ford said. “I know they’re gonna do great things from here on out.”

Senior middle blocker Laura Thames recorded an emphatic kill and followed with a block to finish a four-point rally and cut the deficit to 23-21. A Benjamin Russell attacking error yielded a match point for Stanhope, and that’s where the controversy began.

Hitter Greenleigh Key came out looking nervous and recorded a number of attacking errors the first couple sets, but appeared to regain confidence and closed the match as one of the Generals’ most efficient and deadly hitters.

She recorded seven kills in sets three and four, five in the latter set alone.

“She’s come along throughout the season,” Turner said. “She was kind of on a roller coaster like most of the girls, up and down, up and down. Tonight I felt like she had one of her better games. She was hitting the ball, at times, good. At times she was having a hard time adjusting to the set not being exactly where she wanted it. But overall I think she played very well.”

“D’aja stands out. And the good thing about D’aja is I get her back next year,” McDonald said. “D’aja stands out. She sure does.”

Dadeville returns to action in the 16-team Montgomery super regional tournament next week. A top-four finish in the single-elimination competition would put the Tigers through to the state tournament.

Tate went up to set the ball to a teammate, one of Stanhope’s blockers reached toward the net and stuffed her shot.

Blockers aren’t allowed to reach past the net to stop an opposing attack before it’s completed, they have to let the opposing team finish its attack, Ford said, adding that that’s precisely what the Mustangs’ player did.

The block was ruled clean by the first official, who immediately whistled the match dead once the point concluded in favor of Stanhope.

Ford felt the judge should have at least conferred with other referees before signalling the end of the match.

“The official ended the game. Wouldn’t even talk to her partner, she didn’t have a partner I guess, but she wouldn’t

season.

“Historically, the volleyball program has been pretty strong.

This year it wasn’t the same,” Elliot said. “We had a rough season. We had a rough go of it.

What I am proud of is our girls.

They hung in there, they fought.

That’s what I told them before this match.”

The closest the Cougars came to beating the Generals in an individual game during set two, when they sparked a five-point rally down 19-15 to take a 20-19 advantage.

Horseshoe Bend responded with a six-point rally of its own to close out a 25-20 victory in the penultimate set.

“I am proud of the way they played today,” Elliot said. “We had a tough loss at Dadeville last week, came in and worked hard at practice, and things were better today. We just couldn’t pull it out.”

Raamiah Gaddis and Sterling Heath each picked up backto-back aces in the third set, but that didn’t prevent a 25-16 Horseshoe Bend win to close the match.

Elliot said he’s been pleased with the leadership and commitment of his seniors. Even Daja Pearson, who’s missed the past few weeks with a fractured ankle, played an important role in 2021.

“We missed her. She was a key contributor to the team,” Elliot said. “Hard worker and a leader off the court. All four of the seniors were good leaders for us, I thought.”

Brynli Mitchell could be seen all over the court for Central Coosa this season, with a solid service game and dependable defense and attacking.

“She’s a go-getter,” Elliot said. “She’ll give you everything she’s got, every day. Practice or game. Everything she can.”

Elliot called middle blocker Tori Davis his “most improved” senior, someone who had to work her way into a starting position over the course of the coach’s three years in the program.

Gaddis rounds out the senior class, spending her first season as a setter in 2021 and showing off a strong service game in matches covered by The Outlook.

“She came in first year as a full-time setter and did a good job,” Elliot said. “I think she did a really good job. She was very smart on the floor about what to do and when to do things. Kind of a commander out there, kind of a general.”

Even with the four fourthyears departing, Elliot is looking forward to the future for Coosa.

Several key rotation players will be back in 2022. This season may not have produced the results the Cougars were looking for, but perhaps they set the table for a return to form in the near future.

“Hate to end it this way for the seniors but we’ve got a good group of underclassmen coming up, I’m looking forward to that,” Elliot said. “So we’re gonna bounce back. We’ll bounce back. We’re gonna have to rebuild a little bit.”

talk to the official on the opposite side,” Ford said.

“He would’ve overturned it. It was a clear miss. So instead of talking about what four seniors did, we’re talking about what an adult didn’t do. That’s never right.”

Stanhope got in such a position to win primarily through the play of outside hitter Kelbi Johnson, a high leaper with great striking power who fueled a strong collective effort on the front row for the Mustangs, even if she rotated to the back at times.

“She’s really strong and she was having a good night,” Ford said.

“We defended her very well in the first set, and we won the first set. Then she kind of took over the last three sets. But she’s smart, she serves the ball

well, she places the ball well and they get the ball to her as often as they can.”

Thames and Roberson will graduate for Benjamin Russell this spring, along with star libero JaNiya Martin and right side hitter Emma Tapley.

Ford expressed gratitude for the mentality each of her fourth-years brought into the program.
