Wharf Casual Seafood announced that construction will officially begin on their Alexander City location the week of April 11.

In February, president and CEO of Wharf Casual Seafood Noah Griggs, Jr. told The Outlook the company was waiting on its ALDOT permit, the last hurdle to clear before they can “start going vertical.”

“It’s been a minute and a half,” he said. “When I get my permit, I’m going to start construction — I feel like any day, but I have been saying this for two to three months now.”

In a press release Tuesday, April 12, Wharf Casual Seafood said they are fully permitted and ready for construction after “many months of due diligence and working with the city.”

“We are grateful for the communities’ patience and overwhelming support of this endeavor” said Griggs in the press release.

They are hoping to open in early 2023.

Griggs, former executive at the company behind Hardee’s and Carl’s Jr., partnered with chef and Wharf co-owner Stephen Duggar seven years ago. Duggar’s parents Early and Eva opened the first Wharf restaurant in Tallahassee, Florida in 1986, after two hurricanes nearly sank their seafood business.

“They were literally on the side of the road with a food truck; they had to build

their business back from nothing,” Griggs said.

In the years since, Early and his son Stephen evolved that original concept into what it is today, an order-at-the-counter restaurant chain serving shrimp and grits, po boys, tacos, salads and gumbo. Early continued to run the restaurant until he passed away in 2020.

Griggs, a Tallassee native, is back in his hometown where he owns another restaurant with his wife Pam, 1220 Cafe.

The decision to bring Wharf Casual Seafood to Alexander City was helped by the connections he made catering in the area.

“Through the years, we’ve built a great relationship with people in that area,” Griggs said of Alexander City. “That really convinced us that we really need to be in that market.”

The U.S. 280 site, owned by Russell Lands chairman Ben Russell sits between Regions Bank and what’s soon to become a Sonic. “Ben came to the Wetumpka site last week and had lunch; he’s excited,” Griggs said.

According to Griggs, Russell isn’t the only Alexander City resident to make the trip to Elmore County.

“It’s unbelievable how many people are coming out of Millbrook, Alexander City, the lake, because it’s now the closest they can go for good seafood,” he said.

Alexander City residents will have a much shorter drive in the future. The restaurant is slated to open by 2023.

In the Tuesday morning press release, they also announced they are in discussions with the city of Sylacauga to bring Wharf Casual Seafood there.

Commission hears complaints on courthouse parking, recognizes Child Abuse Awareness month

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer The parking spaces around the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville are full and business owners want the Tallapoosa County Commission to do something about it.

Several business owners and members of the Lake Martin Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce attended Monday’s commission meeting to let their displeasure of occupied parking spaces during the workday be known. Chamber member Rhonda Gaskins said several of the business owners on the square have tried to address the problem to no avail.

“We are requesting that you instruct the employees not to park around the square during normal business hours on business and utilize two parking lots at the church and new lot,” Gaskins said. “We are at a loss as to how to correct the problem on our own and that is why we are here today.”

Some downtown business owners have erected limited time parking signs in front of their storefronts but Gaskin and See COMMISSION, Page A5

students for seventh grade and eighth grade math,” Porter said.

Porter added that another benefit of the middle-school grade classes being in closer proximity is lower maturity gaps between students.

“Socially, sixth graders are not what sixth graders used to be. Children are just maturing much more quickly than I have in the past. There’s a maturity gap that didn’t exist for elementary students so that will need to be addressed as well,” he said.

Lastly, the reorganization will alleviate long-term overcrowding at the elementary school, which according to Porter has become a problem as the

school attempts to balance classroom instruction for multiple grade-level classes.

“There is zero room in that elementary school, and the high school has at least three empty classrooms that would accommodate the sixth grade without adjustment,” Porter said.

He also noted that the proposed middle-school section would have its own dedicated wing of the building, providing a healthy separation between the middle and high school gradelevels.

Porter said he anticipates mixed reactions from the Dadeville community regarding the transition, but

emphasized the long-term academic benefits of the restructuring.

“There’s not a real justifiable reason why we wouldn’t do that. Both the elementary and high school administration are very supportive of it, but I realize that we will get some backlash,” Porter said. “But It’s something that we’re doing countywide because we want students at each campus to have the same advantages,” Porter explained.

The recommendation will now go to the Alabama Department of Education for final approval and if approved, the transition would likely go into effect during the 2022-23 school year.

Dadeville Chamber hosts 1st Annual Chili Cook-Off

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter

T

his past Saturday, April 9, the Lake Martin Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the organization’s first annual Chili Cook-Off, which was a day filled with delicious food and friendly competition among community members.

During the inaugural contest, Chamber executive assistant Molly Parker described community engagement as overwhelming, with 18 contestants competing for the title of top chili recipe.

“There was a wide range of chili and all very tasty. Some not spicy, some mild and some that cleaned your pipes. The contestants were all fun and friendly, and I hope they come back next time,” she said.

For the past three years, Parker has worked with the Chamber to introduce new community events to start each year, and Dadeville’s 1st Chili Cook-Off is the most recent addition.

“Our Board of Directors strive to find ways to bring the businesses and communities together and this came about when we were thinking of events we could hold in late winter and early spring, and what

food goes good on a cool day... chili,” Parker said.

Parker added that the food festival also marked a return of more in-person events for the organization as there have been less opportunities to host community events due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We missed the opportunity to bring a fun event here in 2020 due to the pandemic. In 2021 we held our first Summer BBQ Social with over 200 attendees, far surpassing our initial goal of 125. And this year we held Dadeville’s 1st Chili Cook-Off,” Parker said.

Chamber President Peggy Bullard noted the occasion as a great start to the year indeed and described the event as a time for local businesses and communities to join together in fellowship.

“We could not have had a better day. The chili and the fellowship was great. Thank you to all who attended,” Bullard said.

The contest ran from 11am to 3pm with winners being selected by attendees. Cash prizes were awarded to the top five best chili recipes, with first place receiving $550.

Each contestant also received a commemorative t-shirt along with supplies for giving samples to people who paid $5 to be “Tasters.”

Besides chili, attendees enjoyed Tiger Dawgs and live music throughout the event. Among the artists that performed included the River Dan band, Matt Campbell, and Ryan Downing.

Rhonda Gaskins, a participant with Andy Moore and the C-21 Lake Area Realty team, said she is excited for next year’s cook-off.

“It was a fun event and everyone seemed to have a good time.

We look forward to next year’s cook-off,” Gaskins said.

Among Best Chili winners include: • 1st “Woodlands Chili” - Erin Barnett (Head Chef) and her father Dan Barnett • 2nd “Guilty As Charred” Courtney Hall (Head Chef) and Keven Hall • 3rd “River Bank & Trust” Abby Guy • 4th Buddy Aucoin (Head Chef) • 5th 3-way-tie C-21 Lake Area Realty - Andy Moore (Head Chef) Rhonda Gaskins Tom Whatley (Head Chef) “Hall for Circuit Judge” - Kevin Hall (Head Chef) Best Looking Booth Blackberry Breeze - Trey Foshee (Head Chef) and Kim (AV Gal)

VOICES shares facts, legislature provides help

By BETH CHAPMAN

T

he legislative session just concluded and coincided with the release of VOICES for Alabama’s Children’s annual data book. The VOICES report indicated we have many more issues ahead that need attention. The research results provided by VOICES are not good.

Too many children can’t read or perform math at grade level, and many of them are hungry and being abused in their own homes.

Since 1994, VOICES for Alabama’s Children has provided extensive research on the conditions of our children and released its annual data book. The report documents and tracks the facts on the health, education, safety and economic security of Alabama children by county.

VOICES’ data found there is only one mental health provider available for every 923 Alabamians. It pointed to research that shows unaddressed childhood trauma and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) lead to lifelong chronic health issues. Those factors also can cause significant barriers to educational achievement and financial security.

Last year, less than 25 percent of our children were proficient in math. Data found that when it came to economic security, 24 percent of Alabama’s children live in poverty, and one in five of them are food insecure. In simple language, these children are hungry!

When it comes to education of Alabama’s poverty-stricken fourth graders, only 38 percent are proficient in reading, and only 12 percent are proficient in math.

In 2021, there were 3,453 children who entered foster care. An estimated 48 percent of those cases involved parental substance abuse use. And of course, there is child abuse involved in many of these homes as well.

I greatly commend VOICES for all it has done for years and for what it continues to do for Alabama’s children.

Great progress can be made to improve the lives of Alabama’s children. But legislators, and we as a society, must continue to be concerned if our children are learning, have access to three meals a day, and live in safe homes. We must be proactive to see that our children’s needs are met on a daily basis and our state’s needs will be met in the future, too.

Our

Congressional lines, congressmen Mission will remain the same

F

or several years leading up to the 2010 Census count, the national projections were that Alabama would lose one of our seven congressional districts and drop to six. When the count was taken, we surprised ourselves and the nation and kept our seven seats in the United States Congress.

Therefore, the legislature’s task in drawing our seven congressional districts was relatively easy. Except for some tweaking here and there due to growth in Madison, Limestone, Lee, Shelby and especially Baldwin counties, and the loss of population in the Black Belt, our congressional district lines were kept basically the same as they have been for the past few decades.

We essentially have six of our seven districts that are safe Republican seats. We have one dedicated majority minority African American Democratic Congressional District.

That Democratic seat is held by Congresswoman Terri Sewell. She has been in that seat for over a decade and has become a respected leader in the Democratic House leadership. The Democrats are in the majority which makes her a powerful member of the House. However, most political experts and polling indicates that this year’s election will bring a swing of 30 or more Republican seat pickups or takeovers, thus making the Republicans the majority party. This will be beneficial for Alabama since six of our seven seats are held

by Republicans. It will be particularly beneficial to folks in the fourth district, who have Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) as their congressman.

Aderholt is the most senior member of our delegation and is the ranking Republican on the House Appropriation Committee.

Realism vs. Christianity during Easter

T

hroughout the Russian invasion of Ukraine, I’ve received several emails touting either realism, or a noted realist scholar. The sender usually adds some words of enthusiasm about the theory. It’s often because we hear little of the costs of following this path of power politics, especially as this this theory would treat Easter as a day without any special importance for our lives.

Realism is one of the oldest theories of political science.

Scholars often trace its origin to Greek historian Thucydides and his account of the “Melian Dialogue,” in his writings on the Peloponnesian War. As my students learn when the read the account, the tiny town of Melos insists they be allowed to be neutral in the conflict, rather than submit to powerful Athens.

When faced with annihilation, the Melians appeal to their gods and the injustice of the Athenian position. The Athenians shrug off those arguments, with a “might makes right” counterargument, and claims that the gods either don’t care, or will smile upon them if they win. Athens eventually does slaughter the Melians, which realists claim proves their point.

In fact, whenever a stronger side crushes a smaller side, some adherents of power politics count those as a win for their theory. They seem to forget that Athens was wrecked during the

By WILLIAM MARLOW Multimedia Reporter The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) will temporarily close all driver license offices, including the two in Tallapoosa County, next week as part of a statewide effort to roll out a new modernized driver license system.

Governor Kay Ivey’s Office along with ALEA officially announced the new system in February. The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Driver License System, simply known as LEADS, will completely revitalize the current system that has been in place for nearly two decades.

The launch will require, however, a temporary

weeklong office closure to ensure a successful and thorough transition. In order to install the new system and transfer all necessary data, ALEA must temporarily close its Driver License Examining Offices across the state, from Monday, April 18, with plans to reopen on Tuesday, April 26.

ALEA Secretary Hal Taylor explained in a statement that he understands the closures may cause some inconveniences to citizens, but the new services are well worth the wait.

“We understand that it may cause an inconvenience to some citizens that will not have full access to the Driver License Division’s resources and capabilities, but we assure everyone the result will be impressive, providing significant improvements for both citizens as well as Driver License employees across the state,” Taylor said.

During the temporary closure, ALEA Driver License

Examiners will be available to administer Class D and CDL Road Skills Tests. However, citizens who completed these tests will not be issued a copy of their license until offices are reopened.

Once LEADS is live, citizens will have access to a variety of new options and enhanced services such as allowing individuals the ability to pre-apply for an Alabama Driver License and enter all necessary information prior to visiting a local office.

Secretary Taylor added LEADS is yet another example of ALEA’s continued commitment to improving customer service through the enhancement and utilization of technology, as well as focused communication, to effectively achieve the Agency’s mission of providing quality service for all.

“We would like to thank Governor Ivey and all members of the Legislature for continuously supporting our Agency and providing us

with the necessary resources to complete such a monumental and historic project for the state of Alabama,” he said.

Director of ALEA’s Department of Public Safety (DPS) Colonel Jimmy Helms added that the modernization of the state’s Driver License system has been one of his administration’s priorities.

“I would like to take this opportunity to assure everyone this will be the first of many steps within ALEA’s plan to continue to enhance the driver license experience for all Alabamians,” he said.

“However, I also want to highlight and make note that the upcoming driver license office closure may affect several of the industries within our state and I ask everyone to begin making preparations immediately for the upcoming closure to reduce the potential for any negative impacts within your industry.”

others said it hasn’t corrected the problem.

“Even with the businesses providing limited hour parking signs, there are still a lot of courthouse employees parking all day in front of their storefronts,” Gaskins said.

“They are seen arriving before 8 a.m. and departing at 5 p.m.

Most businesses are struggling enough to remain open during these trying times. When it’s not easy to find a parking place, people won’t stop and patronize the shops on the square.”

The commission constructed a new parking lot on the southeast corner of the square last year. Tallapoosa County Revenue Commissioner Eva Middlebrooks said employees of her office were using the lot until winter came.

“It was very dark over there,” Middlebrooks said. “One of their main concerns was walking over there in the dark.”

Tallapoosa County administrator Blake Beck said Alabama Power is working to

install lighting on utility poles at the new parking lot.

The parking issue has come up before. County commissions across the state have been reluctant to institute requirements on citizens such as speed limits and parking restrictions inside city limits as it steps into the decisions made by city councils.

Around the Dadeville courthouse, the parking is part of the public right of way and not owned by the county. Previous discussions of the Dadeville City Council surrounded a lack of manpower of the Dadeville Police Department to enforce parking restrictions on the square. Any such restrictions would need to be put in place by a city ordinance to allow the police department to issue parking citations.

CHILD ABUSE AWARENESS AND PREVENTION MONTH Commissioners adopted a resolution proclaiming April as Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month.

of Human Resources (DHR) director Brenda Floyd gave the commission some statistics related to DHR and the TriCounty Child Advocacy Center’s involvement in child abuse and neglect cases.

Floyd told the commission Tallapoosa County DHR reviewed more than 250 cases of alleged abuse or neglect within Tallapoosa County in 2021 affecting 375 children.

Floyd said Tri-County Child Advocacy Center conducted 112 forensic interviews of children and conducted 14 pediatric sexual assault examines.

The center also provided 1,246 counseling sessions to Tallapoosa County children.

BUDGET AMENDMENT The commission approved an amendment to the current budget for both revenue and expenditure of the RRR gas tax.

County engineer David Moore projects were going to cost $900,000 more than budgeted and revenues would be up $600,000 leaving the county to come up with $300,000 for planned projects.

The commission briefly heard from Central Alabama Community College Dean of Workforce Development about programs at the school.

In other action the Tallapoosa County Commission: • Approved minutes of the March 14 meeting.

• Approved warrants and purchase orders.

• Approved a proclamation declaring April as fair housing month.

• Reminded the courthouse will be closed April 25 in observance of Confederate Memorial Day. Commissioner Steve Robinson was absent from the meeting due to injuries from an accident.

The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commission is scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, May 9.

EASTER WORD FIND

DR KIDZ

T H E

C O N N E C T

D O T S

Easter is a popular Spring holiday in the United States, and we will celebrate it this year on Sunday, April 17. Easter represents the new life and warm weather that are so often associated with it, although in some parts of the Country it may still be somewhat cold. Many people dress up in their finest clothes and go to Church on Easter Sunday, while many others have picnics and participate in community events like Easter egg hunts. Children love Easter for the fun that it brings. Kids are visited by the Easter Bunny who brings a basket of goodies each year. Eggs are dyed to look bright and colorful. Many Easter egg hunts are held for kids to enjoy. Today, we celebrate Easter because the Council of Nicaea declared in 325 A.D. that Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full Moon that follows the Spring Equinox (the first day of Spring). This means that Easter can occur on any Sunday between the first day of Spring (which usually falls on March 21, except during a leap year when it falls on March 20) and April 25. That is why Easter sometimes comes earlier in some years than others. It is believed that the term Easter which we use today is derived from the Old High German word “eostarum” which, in turn, is derived from Latin and means “dawn.”

hat a beautiful drive on Sunday morning from home to church! The neighbor yards were adorned with beautiful azaleas; I only know what azaleas and roses looks like! Along the edge of the road were mighty hardwoods with their green leaves, an abundance of pines blowing in the breeze, and the woods were dotted with some of the prettiest dogwoods.

With new births of plants and animals, spring in the air, and God’s beautiful creations, my mind focused sharply on the dogwood trees.

Legend has it that Jesus was crucified on a dogwood tree.

During the days of Jesus, the dogwood tree grew tall, and the wood was very strong. After Jesus’ crucifixion, God did not allow for the dogwood to ever grow so large that someone could be hanged on it.

He gave it white flowers in the shape of a cross with a crown in the center. The white was significant of the purity of Christ, the cross was a reminder of his suffering, even the tips of the pedals are crushed and have a red tint to represent the nails and the blood which he shed. The center crown is to remind us that He is King of kings and Lord of lords.

Archelogy states that dogwoods did not grow in Jerusalem, but the Olive trees were plentiful and in fact, a find of a root ball from an Olive

tree dates to the time Jesus walked on earth. Do you suppose the olive tree was cursed; Jeremiah 11:16 reads, “The Lord called thy name, ‘a green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit; with the noise of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.’”

The type of wood is not important. What is important is that the Son of God died a cruel death on a cross for you and for me. The cross of Christ is at the heart of Christianity. The Bible is filled with references and a cross is the most recognizable symbol of Christianity. Why do we make such a big deal about a cross? It is not the physical significance of a cross but what it represents!

The cross symbolizes that Jesus died for my sins and the sins of the world. He made the sacrifice of His death for me. It is a powerful symbol to remind us of the price paid for our redemption. Secondly, on the surface, the cross is a tragic event. An innocent man cruelly put to death by the Romans. To those watching, it appeared that evil had won. Jesus was defeated and made into a public spectacle.

But appearances were deceiving and just the opposite was true. At the cross, He defeated the powers and authorities of evil, disarming them, forever! Focus this week on His walk to the cross.

Record

Gabe Bryant: Reeltown’s No. 1

By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Gabe Bryant wears No. 1 for Reeltown’s baseball team and donned the same number during football season. There’s little doubt that it fits him.

On the gridiron he was the Rebels’ quarterback, orchestrating an aggressive spread offense and often connecting with star receiver Marcus Haynes for big gains.

On the diamond he’s their leadoff hitter and No. 1 pitcher, dominating as a

two-way force.

“He [leads] by his play,” Reeltown baseball coach Trey Chambers said. “And that’s more the type of leader you’re seeing in today’s game, is by show. He gives us a good opportunity every game to be successful. And I think the other guys see that, and they want to be as successful as he is.”

Dominating in baseball well enough to earn a spot at the collegiate level, Bryant is wrapping up his last season as one of Reeltown’s premier athletes

— even if he’s not fully prepared to move on.

“While I’ve been here, I’ve made a lot of friendships with the coaches and players,” Bryant said.

“I’ve just loved it here with them. I’ve grown as a teammate and as a leader.

It’s just been a great year, I’m not ready for it to end.”

Bryant’s athletic career began before he hit preschool.

At 2 years old he was already in T-ball. By 6 he was playing football. He’s played both nearly every

year since.

Even during those first days in football, he was a quarterback. Some youth coaches saw he had a decent arm and threw him there.

“You’re just in a role where you call the shots,” Bryant said. “That’s just why I like it so much. You get to lead everybody, tell them what to do, fix them if they’re wrong or help them if they’re right, if they need help.”

The shots he called for Reeltown football certainly paid dividends.

In two seasons as the team’s starting quarterback, Bryant amassed more than 3,000 passing yards.

“You know the obvious things, his physical attributes,” Reeltown football coach Matt Johnson said.

“He’s got a big arm, he’s a big body, he’s over 6-2, close to 200 pounds or more. He moves well. He picked up on the offense early. But just his command for the huddle, his competitive spirit.”

FRESH OFF PLAYOFF CLINCH, HORSESHOE BEND SMOKES CENTRAL COOSA

By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director

I

t took one inning for Horseshoe Bend head coach Scott Peavy to sub out his starters Friday.

The Generals were out to a 6-0 lead against Central Coosa and it became clear quickly that the Cougars were overmatched, which proved to be the case in a 13-2 five-inning run-rule victory for Horseshoe Bend.

Peavy didn’t have many takeaways for his starting group.

“I pulled them pretty quick in this one.”

Four different pitchers saw action for the Generals, including sophomore JVer Thomas Kinnan, who tossed 1.1 innings of one-run ball.

In total, substitutes accounted for more than half of Horseshoe Bend’s run production, even if many scored via wild pitches, passed balls or errors.

“They come to practice every day, they work hard with everybody else and they don’t always get a lot of playing time,” Peavy said. “That’s always nice to get them in and

give them an opportunity to play. It also gives them experience and allows them to better themselves.”

Infielder Rylan Sharpe got the scoring started with an RBI single in the first inning after Gavin Brazzell reached on an error. Sharpe then stole second, stole third and scored on a passed ball.

Junior Taylor Humphrey picked up an RBI double a few batters later to stretch the lead to 4-0, and one more RBI single closed the six-run opening frame.

The Generals’ group of backups came in and recorded three more runs in the second and two more in the third to post an 11-1 lead and set up the eventual 13-2 run-rule.

The much bigger news for Horseshoe Bend came Thursday, when the Generals clinched a playoff berth by beating Randolph County on the road twice.

Juniors Luke Jones and Jacob Turner combined to throw a no-hitter in the latter contest.

Horseshoe Bend returns to action Monday against Beauregard.

Area baseball and softball roundup April 3 through April 9

By ANDY ANDERS Regional Sports Director Area play is in full swing throughout the state of Alabama, and the baseball and softball teams covered by the Outlook have begun vying for playoff position.

Horseshoe Bend’s baseball squad locked up a berth into the state playoffs, as did Dadeville.

The Generals’ softball squad also extended its winning streak to seven games.

Here’s a breakdown of this week’s action: BENJAMIN RUSSELL

Falling 16-1 in its first area game against Wetumpka Thursday, Benjamin Russell baseball nearly beat the Indians to level things playoff wise on Friday.

Trailing 3-1, a two-rally culminated in an RBI single from Jaxon Hay and two-run, goahead single from Gabe Benton to put the Wildcats ahead 4-3 in the contest.

Wetumpka was able to walk it off in the bottom of the frame for a 5-3 win, though, putting Benjamin Russell in do-ordie mode for its series against Stanhope Elmore this week.

The Wildcats’ softball squad played just one game last week, clashing with Class 7A power Central of Phenix City. The Red Devils came out with a 6-2 win.

Bryant described himself as the type of person to lead by example, a sentiment Johnson and Chambers both echoed.

He’s willing to set the tone for teammates during offseason training sessions, even when it’s not the flashiest types of exercises. Johnson noted his willingness to “get his hands dirty” separates him as a leader. He even stepped in to play safety or outside linebacker when called upon to do so.

“That example of leadership from that position is huge, because he’s not a guy that tried to petite around anything or try to tip-toe around hard work,” Johnson said. “He’d jump right in.”

Still, football isn’t where Bryant’s future lies. That’s in baseball. His favorite sport. The one he’s committed to play in college.

Bryant’s batting average has held steadfast above the gaudy .500 mark, and he’s been a stolen base and RBI machine on top of it.

“It’s pretty special, in my opinion, to have a bat like that in the lineup,” Chambers said. “It’s not necessarily the dynamic of the power he can produce, it’s more about what he brings to the plate as far as approach. It’s a real struggle to get him out for teams. And mentally, that can wear on you.”

The ace of Reeltown’s pitching staff, Bryant deals the classic three-

pitch combo of fastball, changeup, curveball.

Chambers called him “our guy” on the mound. Bryant’s ability to pitch to contact alongside the strikeouts he records has impressed his coach.

“It just depends,” Bryant said. “If they’re on time for the fastball, if they’re not seeing it, or if they are on time, give a curveball or changeup to throw them off. I’ve just been developing, getting my arm stronger, hitting spots and taking what I’ve done in practice, putting it into the game.”

Bryant also served as a productive starter for Reeltown’s basketball team this year, collecting 5.6 points per game to finish fourth on the team. He placed second in assists with 1.4.

There’s work left to do in Bryant’s

senior baseball season, for sure. Reeltown can lock up a playoff spot with a win in either of its first two area games against Beulah this week.

But he’s relieved to have his future secured too, he said. Bryant recently announced his intention to attend and play for Lurleen B. Wallace Community College in Andalusia.

The Saints recruited him as a dualway player but are big fans of his pitching in particular, Bryant added.

“It just takes a lot of pressure off,” Bryant said. “Now I can not worry about getting recruited by anybody, I can just have fun and play baseball, the game that I love.”

For Reeltown in the 2021-22 sports calendar, though, he’ll always be No. 1.

Ranking SEC Basketball Coaches

W

e have come to the close of another terrific college basketball season and this year’s Tournament has been very entertaining.

Congratulations to the Kansas Jayhawks and to the South Carolina Gamecocks on their championships. Auburn will have their annual A-day this Saturday, but I’m going to do something this week I’ve never done before. I’m going to rank the men’s SEC basketball coaches.

It’s totally subjective and actually pretty difficult.

1. John Calipari (Kentucky) – As much as I would like to rank someone else in the top spot, Calipari’s resume is just too impressive. 768 wins between UMass, Memphis and Kentucky. 12 Elite Eight, 6 Final Four, 2 runner-up & 1 Championship speaks for itself.

He’s always had the most talented to work with, but that’s no longer the case.

2. Bruce Pearl (Auburn) – What he has done on the Plains is nothing short of remarkable. Pearl has

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist

628 career wins and a Division II championship.

Hopefully he can add to his monumental accomplishments of the next few years. I wouldn’t trade him for anyone in the country.

3. Eric Musselman (Arkansas) – No one had been able to win consistently at Arkansas since Nolan Richardson, but that appears to have changed.

Musselman spent 4 years winning at Nevada and has taken the Hogs to the Elite Eight in two of his first three years.

4. Rick Barnes (Tennessee) – With 35 years of experience at Providence, Clemson, Texas and now Tennessee, Barnes has 754 wins and has been to the Tournament 26 times.

However, he only has one Final Four and two Elite Eight appearances.

5. Nate Oats (Alabama) – He took Buffa-

lo to the Tournament three times in his four seasons and now has gotten Alabama there twice in three seasons.

He’s one of the younger coaches in the league, but already has an SEC regular-season and tournament title. He could be moving up the list quickly.

6. Buzz Williams (Texas A&M) – Williams went dancing with Marquette five times and three times with Virginia Tech. He has yet to break through with the Aggies, but it seems only a matter of time. I think he has a lot in common with Bruce Pearl including the ability to sweat through a suit.

7. Mike White (Georgia) – He seems to be an example of a guy that has great success at a lower level school, but only moderate success at a big-time program. He’s always going to win around 20 games year, but hasn’t shown the ability to be a true title contender.

8. Jerry Stackhouse (Vanderbilt) – Stackhouse inherited a program in shambles and is attempting a major rebuild. It’s been a slow process, but I do believe he is making progress. Next year could be a pivotal one for his tenure in Nashville.

9. Kermit Davis (Ole Miss) – In 16 years at Middle Tennessee he won five conference titles. He definitely knows the X’s and O’s, but I’m not sure his ability to recruit is on par with his contemporaries. After four years he is 64-61 in Oxford.

There are five new coaches joining the league in 2022 – Todd Golden (Florida)… Matt McMahon (LSU)… Chris Jans (Miss State)… Dennis Gates (Missouri)…

Lamont Paris (South Carolina).

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Guard against a tendency to be nitpicky today, especially at work. Or you might be this way when dealing with a pet or with issues related to your health. Instead, decide to go with the ow and let it be.

Sometimes perfection is overrated.

Tonight: Relax.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) This can be a creative, fun-loving day, unless you decide to ne-tune everything to a point where you have taken the joy out of something. Don’t do this. Let the chips fall where they may, because in all likelihood, things will turn out just ne. Relax. Tonight: Teamwork!

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) In order to keep the peace at home or when talking to family members today, your best option is to go along to get along. Of course, with your fast-moving mind, you see better options. But maybe others don’t want to hear of these possibilities. Keep it simple. Tonight: You’re focused.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) When talking to others today, you might insist on something being correct, perhaps even correcting someone’s grammar. (People love that.) Keep the spirit and general intent of what someone means in mind and don’t get hung up on the details. Tonight: Explore!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) People are never casual about money, and even though you are a very generous sign, you’re not casual about money either. However, if you become a stickler today about nancial matters or perhaps something that you own, someone else might be annoyed. Tonight: Passionate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Be patient when talking to partners and close friends today, because your penchant for getting things correct and observing little errors or seeing “what’s wrong with this picture” might hurt someone close to you. Relationships with others will be much better if you cut them some slack. Tonight: Patience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) More than any other sign, you are affected by your surroundings.

Lighting, colors, smells -- they affect you. Today you might feel a bit uncomfortable or critical about something that is bothering you.

This might be external; it might be internal. Fortunately, it’s brief. Relax.

Tonight: Work.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) It’s easy to be critical of others, not only our enemies but also our friends. Naturally, this means we are looking at the world with a critical eye, which means we’re coming from a point of criticism. It’s a choice. The ipside is you could come from a point of admiration.

Feels better! Tonight: Play!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today you might feel that someone is raining on your parade, especially someone in a position of authority like the police, a boss, a parent or a teacher. Bummer. However, don’t let this affect you. It’s just for today.

Tonight: Cope at home.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be discouraged by the news today or something in the media. Some of you also will be discouraged because a planned trip seems to be threatened or impossible. This can be disappointing. After the Full Moon on Saturday, things might change. Tonight: Lively conversations!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Financial matters and issues related to shared property, inheritances, taxes or debt might be discouraging today. Things are not the way you hoped they would be. Relax. Join the club -- we number the millions.

In fact, your nances will improve!

Tonight: Take stock.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Relations with partners and close friends might be stiff today because one of you is critical of the other.

Well, if one is critical, then the other will be critical, creating a vicious cycle. The secret is this cycle is easily broken by offering a compliment.

Tonight: You’re energized!
