Nabors: Parties are interested in property development director Al Jones said. “But no check would be written until it is completely cleared.” The deal also includes 100 feet of right of way needed for the eventual completion of Central Boulevard. The city previously bought 17 acres across from the land the city agreed to buy during Monday night’s meeting.

City buys 11.6 acres, which would complete cleanup of old Russell complex By JIMMY WIGFIELD Managing Editor

Alexander City Mayor Jim Nabors said Monday night two developers are interested in property the city bought or has agreed to buy on the former

Russell Corp. campus. The city council voted 5-1 — councilmember Bobby Tapley dissented — to purchase 11.6 acres of property behind the former Russell Main Office for $275,000, pending its complete cleanup by the current

owner, Lake Martin Excavating Inc. Owner Roy Granger said the property, located at Central Avenue and Lee Street, should be cleared of all debris by early April. “That would get the entire Russell complex cleaned up,” city community

Former air traffic controller feels grounded raising alpacas

Rash of thefts occur across Alexander City By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

The Alexander City Police Department has taken in a few extra reports for breaking and entering vehicles in the last few days. “The B&E’s (breaking and entering) happened in the same area,” ACPD deputy chief James Easterwood said. “They all happened in the Houston Street area.” Easterwood said the property owners were partially responsible. “All three are from where vehicles were left unlocked,” he said. “In two of the incidents the owners of the vehicles could not tell if anything was taken but noticed someone had been in their vehicles.” Easterwood said the department would like to remind everyone a few precautions can prevent the crime. “First off, lock your vehicle,” Easterwood said. “Second, remove valuables from vehicles or at the very least hide them from sight.” Investigators with the department are also investigating burglaries at storage units again. “We have taken reports of someone cutting padlocks on units at the mini warehouses on Hillabee,” Easterwood said. “They took some of the contents.” See THEFTS • Page 2

Coosa County man enjoys farm life and wool from his animals By RON COLQUITT For The Outlook

A

lpacas are gentle creatures with big, soulful eyes and comical faces that normally roam high in the Andes Mountains of South America. So why is there a herd of the woolly critters on a farm in rural Coosa County near Alexander City? Bill Peacock can answer that question. He retired after 30 years as an air traffic controller with the Federal Aviation Administration and moved from Florida to his alpaca farm. Peacock, 70, now has roughly 20 alpacas, six horses, nine dogs and numerous cats on his 130-acre spread he calls Southern Star Farm. Peacock and his daughter, Amber, came up with the idea of raising alpacas for their wool. She died in late 2017. “It was her idea,” Peacock said. “Once we had decided that we were going to raise something, it was her input that it couldn’t be an animal that has to be slaughtered. That

Bill Peacock owns Southern Star Farm in Coosa County near Alexander City. His dogs help herd his roughly 20 alpacas that live on his 130-acre farm. Ron Colquitt /

Promising relationship fades with man’s missing smile DEAR ABBY: I need your advice. I’m a 66-year-old woman who has been single most of my life. I am semi-retired and don’t look or act my age. I recently met the man of my dreams on a dating app. We are the same age, and the attraction is mutual. However, there’s one thing I’m having trouble with. He lives on Social Security, which is OK, but he has no upper teeth. He lost his false teeth. His bottom teeth are rotten, and he has no intention of replacing them. I would be willing to pay for his teeth, but because I’m not sure how to approach the subject, I have decided not to see him anymore. We have agreed to stay in contact by texting. I don’t know how to handle this. Can you help me? -- TURNED OFF IN VIRGINIA DEAR TURNED OFF: Your ideal man has more problems than having lost his uppers.

DEAR ABBY Advice there are low-cost options for getting treatment -- such as contacting a school of dentistry where students treat patients under the supervision of qualified professors. If his problem is fear of dentists, that can be dealt with too. Rather than write any checks to pay for his new teeth, encourage him to be more proactive in taking care of himself. If you do, you’ll be doing him a favor. DEAR ABBY: I have read letters in your column about lazy adult sons moving back home. I’d like to present the other side of the story.

Nabors couldn’t divulge the identities of the interested parties because of ongoing negotiations but said there is a lot of activity connected to the adjacent pieces of property. “We’ve got someone looking at the 17 acres and they have plans for it,â€? Nabors said after the meeting. “They will attract other people as well. The people who are planning on buying the 17 acres also want to buy the Russell Main Office. We’ve also got someone interested in the 11½ acres, and we’ve got a meeting Friday with someone looking for (business) space.â€? Nabors answered critics who assert the city is buying property with no potential buyers to develop it. “It’s frustrating that we can’t talk about it right now in more detail but a lot is going on,â€? Nabors said. Jones said once the 11½ acres the city has agreed to buy, the property Russell Lands is buying for its marine superstore and a parcel behind the old Russell Machine Shop is cleared by a private buyer, all debris on former Russell property will have been eliminated. The council also convened an executive session concerning an unrelated potential economic development project. Afterward, the council voted 6-0 to allow Nabors to exercise an option with a Florida corporation on property the city owns but Jones and other officials stressed a purchase has not been completed. Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance executive director Don McClellan spoke to the council during the closed session. In other action at the meeting, the council: • Heard Michelle Jones, a resident in one of four duplexes on property the city has agreed to buy, criticize the city for what she characterized as a failure to give tenants adequate warning they have to move. The current property owner has given formal notice to all the tenants they have 60 days to vacate; the city expects to close on the property in April, tear down the duplexes and renovate the former Russell Sales Office into city hall.

File / The Outlook

The Alexander City City Council voted Monday night to purchase 11.6 acres of property behind the former Russell Main Office for $275,000, pending its complete cleanup by the current owner, Lake Martin Excavating Inc. Owner Roy Granger said the property should be cleared of all debris by early April.

• Voted 6-0 to support a resolution in the U.S. House of Representatives to overturn the Federal Communication Commission’s orders last summer requiring local taxpayers to subsidize the use of public streets and other public assets by the wireless industry.

Our View

We should think before we post

P

eople network with family, friends and colleagues in more ways than one and keep those connections through social media. The First Amendment grants us a right to freedom of expression, information, etc. and the advent of social media went hand in hand with that. As a news outlet, we’ve seen social media serve as a wonderful tool to disseminate information. We love its ability to work for us in our endeavors to keep the public informed when news happens beyond office hours. But we also recognize the pitfalls that come with that freedom and anonymity. The instant transmission of information sometimes reveals a lot of bad things. Don’t believe us? Just check the comment section on any newsworthy post these days. With cyber bullying at an all-time high we can’t help but think about the true weight of these tools we’ve been given. In less advanced times we were more likely to think before we spoke because communication was in person or not as anonymous as we now have via Twitter, Facebook or Snapchat. In today’s world, we find ourselves asking almost daily: What were they thinking? We’ve seen child pornography shared via social media, crimes broadcast live over the internet, people posing in profile photos with murder weapons and social media users making public death threats to law enforcement. Those examples aren’t national news, those all happened right here in Tallapoosa County. It seems nowadays we need a little help thinking before we type or before we share false information. Social media can be a great tool and we know this. But as with many of our rights we also have a responsibility to do our part to maintain some sort of order. We urge everyone to remember there is a person behind every post, news story, comment, share or like on social media. Think of it like this. Don’t post anything you wouldn’t want your mother or child to see. Pretty simple rule, but it works. Let’s do our part to make sure we not only think before we type, but we read and research before we share.

Walls divide morality today H ouse Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading Democrats to a standoff with “The Wall.” They call the wall “immoral” and “unnecessary” slamming the wall as 14th century technology and a waste of taxpayer dollars. They claim President Donald Trump wants 2,000 miles of concrete wall when Trump has asked for funding about 300 more miles of barrier in strategic areas. In the past, Democrats have voted for funding the current 700 miles of border barrier, including 105 of 140 miles of border separating Pelosi’s state of California from Mexico. Nevertheless, “The Wall” remains steadfast and silent, standing there unmoved and unscathed barring illegal entrance into California. Pelosi invited Trump to give his 2019 State of the Union Address to the nation today. The event promises to be more entertaining than usual with Pelosi sitting directly behind the president as he speaks. The state of America’s economy is booming compared to the eight years prior to Trump’s arrival in the White House. Wages are up and unemployment is at record lows for all demographics. In just two years, Trump’s policies have driven America’s stagnating economy to all-time highs. Democrats and their mainstream media cousins are incensed the economy has heated up so much so quickly, contradicting all the predictions of doom and gloom

DANIEL GARDNER Columnist

from former presidents and Nobel Prize winning economists. In foreign relations, instead of selling 20 percent of America’s supply of uranium to the Russians and abandoning our missile defense in Europe, Trump has reprimanded Russia for violating terms of the INF (Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces) treaty after it continued to build and deploy missiles banned by the treaty. Instead of giving billions of dollars to Iran, Trump has given Iran a thumping with sanctions intended to curb Iran’s development of longrange missiles with nuclear capabilities. And NATO members are now giving more money to fund the organization due largely to Trump’s leadership. Unlike his predecessor, Trump is renegotiating trade agreements with Canada, Mexico, China and the rest of the world. America’s producers and manufacturers have suffered for decades from irresponsible trade imbalances that penalized our businesses and supplemented foreign businesses. America’s economy is so good Democrats and media cousins have given up trying to paint all the green arrows red.

Speaking of walls, Democrat Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam advocated tearing down walls prohibiting any abortion “with the consent of obviously the mother, with the consent of the physician … and it’s done in cases where there may be severe deformities.” Northam said. “The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.” That discussion would be to decide whether the newborn baby should live or die. A day or two later, a photo on Northam’s page in his 1984 medical school annual surfaced of one person in blackface and another wearing a KKK outfit. Was Northam one of the people? Apparently nobody knows. Democrats quickly erected a wall between the party and Northam for his blatant lack of racial morality. Twentyfour hours earlier Democrats had united behind Northam for his moral stance tearing down legal walls preventing abortion of full-term, unwanted babies. Walls divide morality today. Daniel L.

Letter to the Editor

Why are we purchasing more property? Steve Marshall

Dear Editor,

Ed Oliver

Tom Whatley

Clyde Chambliss

www.alexcityoutlook.com

By the time this editorial goes to print, the decision will have been made to purchase 11 acres of the Russell campus by the city at the astounding price of $25,000 an acre for future economic development. Saturday morning when the short article came out describing the proposal, I started getting phone calls. The gist of each call was the same — why are we purchasing more property for economic development? My question is where the money is coming from to purchase the property. The continued expenditure of funds without any economic growth is senile. The Russell Sales Office acquisition was a done deal. The problem was the citizens of Alex City were given no viable alternative to the sales office as the new city hall. Now our leaders are going to tear down the duplexes although they are a revenue stream, which would offset the money pit the sales office will become. Include the purchase

of the 17 acres on Lee Street at $27,000 an acre, and all I see is debt. All these acquisitions without any proposed economic gain by the current administration are senile. Currently there are two industrial parks with available space in Alex City. Why gain more building sites without some prospect? My opinion is the leadership is putting the cart before the horse. The city continues to be more involved in economic development. The plan for the guest house next to the sales office will be a place for visitors with potential economic development to stay. If this is the case then why pay for a membership at Willow Point for the EDA? The city wants to be in the hotel business but not in the rental property business. Hmm, how nice. I would not have a problem with acquiring industrial sites if our community actually had a group actively recruiting industry to come to our area. There are very few citizens in our area who understand the EDA has no requirement or

obligation to recruit industry for our area. Currently there is no active recruitment of industry for the lake region. This area has so many assets and resources we don’t have to recruit, we just sit back and wait for the industry to roll in. That is what has been happening for the last 20 years and you see where we are. My opinion, the leadership of the Lake Martin Economic Development Alliance replacement is long overdue. Every time I question city officials or EDA officials on performance, I get the same answer. They say they are working on something big. They cannot talk, but it is big. I have been waiting for big for 20 years. Without active recruitment of industry, I don’t think we will see anything in the near future. I put together a report on the EDA and anyone wishing to read the report email me at wbaird@thesureshot. us and I will send you a copy. Thank you for your time.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Meetings and discussions could produce enthusiasm and results. Someone close could surprise you with his or her activity and vision regarding a Ă„nancial matter. Open up a discussion. Tonight: Take care of your needs Ă„rst. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Others Ă„nd you to be unusually verbal and direct. You are likely to tell it like it is. Do not get uptight when dealing with a high-strung person. Center yourself, knowing what you need and expect from this interaction. Tonight: Head home Ă„rst. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) While others might act, you decide to kick back and reassess an evolving situation. Communications demand attention. You could Ă„nd it diɉcult to Ă„nd quiet time for reĂ…ection until late in the day. Tonight: Don’t allow someone to push you too hard. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You nearly always excel when dealing with someone on a one-onone level. Try not to charge a discussion with too much passion, as the other party might react to this intensity. Tonight: The unexpected encourages you to kick back. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You know when you need to defer and let others run with the ball. You actually might enjoy being more passive and laidback than usual. You see what is happening in a diɈerent light than most people. Maintain your perspective. Tonight: Go along with a loved one’s suggestion. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Focus on getting through some pending work. You will feel better and be able to judge what needs to be done in a diɈerent light. Schedule an important appointment. A loved one or associate decides to act. Tonight: Let someone else run with the ball. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

While others could be running around in circles, you have a clear vision of what needs to be done. You could become involved in a vociferous conversation with an associate. The end result will allow you to interact on this matter more closely. Tonight: Take some much-needed personal time. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your ability to judge a situation quickly emerges. You might disagree with someone about a domestic or real estate matter. You are able to bypass frivolous details and home in on the major issue. Do that today. Tonight: Change gears and relax with a special person. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Remain responsive to inquiries and communications in general. A child or a new love interest might suddenly become demanding. Tap into your endless creativity for answers rather than get into a squabble. Tonight: Visit with a friend, but head home at a reasonable hour. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Money’s multifaceted involvement in your life continues to dominate. A potentially high-voltage discussion surrounds your home, real estate and/or domestic life. Finding a point of agreement could be diɉcult. Tonight: A long-overdue visit with a neighbor. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Your charisma still speaks for itself. Have an important discussion during the daylight hours. You could feel overwhelmed by all that might be happening. Pick up the phone and start clearing out a problem. Tonight: Make it easy; order in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow yourself to feel less than energetic during the day. This phase will pass. Don’t push yourself or get angry that you are not doing more. Many people go up and down like you. Head home early. Tonight: Take a much-needed nap, then decide.

The Outlook

Alpacas

continued from Page 1

limits your options quite a bit, so we did the research and came up with the alpacas. We started with a pair of alpacas. We started small so my daughter could learn about them and be able to take care of them before we expanded. We’ve got roughly 20 now.� Alpacas are members of the camel family, Peacock said. They are not to be confused with llamas, a close relative which is also a member of the camel family. “They are very gentle for the most part,� Peacock said. “They weigh somewhere between 160 to 200 pounds, so they are small animals and very easy to take care of. Alpacas are not aggressive and rarely kick. They do spit occasionally and only if they are irritated. So they are very gentle, very easy to take care of.� Life in rural Alabama is less stressful than living in a city and working as an air traffic controller, Peacock said, but there is a lot of work to be done on the farm. “It’s a working farm and I am a one-man operation,� he said. Peacock’s wife, Pam, runs the farm’s store, where she sells household items and clothing related to alpacas. Alpacas are normally raised in South America for their wool and for meat. Llamas are typically pack animals in their native South America, Peacock said. “We shear them once a year,� Peacock said. “We have an alpaca store here on the farm. All the yarn in the store is from our animals. We have some throw rugs that are made from the fiber from our animals and the rest of the products we have in the store are imported from Peru.� Peacock said alpaca meat is more common in Central and South America than it is in the U.S. “They are edible, and in Central and South America, where they are native, they are definitely on the menu,� he said. “There are not that many in this country that are used as a food product. But in some exotic restaurants you can find alpaca on the menu.� Alpacas graze on grass and eat hay, just as cows and horses do, Peacock said. “We do provide them with a feed,� he said. “I feed them what’s called an all-stock, which is an inexpensive, 12-percent protein feed. I feed them that once a day so they will all come to the barn and I can keep an eye on them. That’s the main reason for doing it.� Like other farm animals, alpacas must be fenced and protected from predators, including coyotes, Peacock said. Maverick and Ketchikan, the farm’s two Great Pyrenees dogs, guard the alpacas, he said. “The dogs are bred to protect,� Peacock said. “They roam through the pasture at will and we have never had an issue with coyotes or dogs.�

‘IT’S WIN OR GO HOME’

Area tournaments for BRHS, Coosa, Reeltown begin today By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Everything up to this point no longer matters. It doesn’t matter if a team enters its area tournament with a perfect record or a winless season so far. Records literally do go out the window. Playoffs for local basketball teams have begun, and it all comes down to this. Both Benjamin Russell’s boys and girls teams head to Opelika for the Class 6A Area 6 tournament, while Central Coosa’s boys will host the Class 2A Area 8 tournament, which also includes Reeltown, beginning today. “This is our second season, and it’s win or go home for us,” BRHS boys coach Lewis Daniel said. “Hopefully our kids will be a little more focused, so that’s what we’re looking forward to.” Coosa’s girls team started their area tournament Monday night at Reeltown, and Dadeville’s boys and girls will begin hosting their Class 3A Area 7 tourney

Wednesday. For Benjamin Russell, the Wildcats are staring down the easiest schedule in that they have only three teams in their area. That means they need to win just one to secure their spot in the sub-regional, as the top two teams from each area automatically advance to the next round. In both boys and girls, BRHS will take on Russell County. The girls easily defeated the Warriors in both regular-season meetings, 67-46 and 63-32, but that doesn’t mean Benjamin Russell is taking them easy, especially with some of the mistakes it has been making lately. “We had a lot of unforced turnovers,” Wildcat girls coach Latreisha Moon said after Friday night’s game against Coosa. “We were traveling and just throwing it away. Nobody even forced us, and we’re going to have to clean that up. Otherwise, we aren’t going to be able to play against Russell County. It’s hard to beat a team three times; it’s not a

improvement throughout the season, but Daniel knows there’s no other chance after tonight. “We’re going to start looking at the areas that we didn’t do so well in,” Daniel said. “Rebounding is one of those things we need to improve on,

From the logo, Jared Harper launched the deepest of 3s, swishing a 30-footer that symbolized Auburn’s scorching first half. Alabama coach Avery Johnson immediately called timeout, but the pause served only to give the sold-out crowd more time to celebrate. The Tigers remained red hot, amassing a 20-point halftime lead in Saturday’s 84-63 rivalry win at Auburn Arena. “I work on that all the time,” said Harper, who scored 19 points and had five assists. “I just know if I can hit from

coach Bruce Pearl said. “I thought the effort and energy defensively was huge to turn Alabama over 21 times. That’s the closest we’ve looked to the kind of Auburn basketball that I like to see.” After missing its first five shots, Harper’s 3-pointer got Auburn going. The Tigers connected on 7 of 11 3-point attempts in the first half. For the game, Auburn hit 13 of 22 3-pointers, a 59.1 percent clip. McLemore’s 3-pointer and dunk off J’Von McCormick’s assist completed a 13-0 run, part of a 21-2 Auburn stretch that turned an early deficit into a 25-11 lead.

hate to admit it because I’m not usually a fan of winners. I like a good underdog story, and as a fan of sports teams that typically do very poorly in the postseason, it’s always been easier to hate LLIZI IZI on the successful teams. ARBOGAST But after Sunday Sports Editor night’s Super Bowl LIII, there’s no argument New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is the greatest quarterback of all time. And more than that, he should be in the conversation of best athlete of all time. He’s up there with Tiger Woods, Serena Williams, Wayne Gretzky and Michael Jordan. Let’s just take a look at a list of Brady’s accolades. • The man has six Super Bowl rings. That’s as many titles as the Pittsburgh Steelers have, a record that stood for an extremely long time. • He also has four Super Bowl MVP awards, the most by any NFL player, and three league MVP awards. He’s the oldest player to ever win either. • If you combine his regular-season and postseason stats, Brady is first in league history in career passing yards and touchdowns. • He’s been selected to fourteen Pro Bowls. And you thought Terrell Owens’ six selections were impressive. • Brady has won the most games ever by an NFL quarterback; he’s the only one to get to 200 regular-season wins. Oh, and he’s never had a losing season. Name a better quarterback. Please. I’ll wait. During Sunday night’s Super Bowl against the Los Angeles Rams, there was no question in my mind who was going to win. Similar to why I just knew Alabama was going to get into the College Football Playoffs: Because, well, it’s Alabama. How did I know the Pats were going to win Sunday night? Because, well, it’s Tom Brady. When the game was tied 3-3 with under five minutes to go, it seemed like the prime time for Brady to do what Brady does, and that’s exactly what happened. Brady put on his game face and methodically moved the ball down field with four straight completions, and Sony Michel topped off the Patriots with a 2-yard punch for the ultimate game winner. The score certainly indicated a defensive showdown, and it was. But Brady still got his. He finished with 262 passing yards on 21 of 35 completions. There was no way Brady was going to let the Patriots lose. And people may jab at Brady for bragging in his celebration videos on social media, but again, he’s Tom Brady. He’s won more Super Bowls than I could ever dream of winning. He’s allowed to brag a little. And again, as much as I say I dislike Brady, he actually seems like a decent human being.

BRHS goes 2-1 at umpires clinic STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Benjamin Russell’s softball team got its first taste of action Saturday at its annual umpires clinic in Montgomery. The Wildcats took on three teams and came out of the day 2-1. They first defeated Jefferson Davis, 5-1, before falling to Alabama Christian Academy, 3-0. BRHS then finished off the clinic with a 10-5 defeat of Park Crossing. Asia McWaters was the star of the show in the opening game. She threw a five-inning no hitter in the win over Jeff Davis. McWaters fanned 12 batters and didn’t walk any; if it weren’t for three Benjamin Russell errors, it would’ve been a perfect game. Despite the defense having those three miscues, McWaters’ offense did back her up well. The Wildcats finished with seven total hits, including two from Taylor Harris. McWaters, Taylor McVey and Haylee Hunter each had an RBI. The tables were turned on the Wildcats against ACA as Eagles pitcher Haley Pittman did throw a perfect game in the fourinning win. Benjamin Russell’s bats went silent, and although Harris threw a fine game herself — she allowed just four hits and only one earned run while striking out five — the offense couldn’t overcome ACA. In the final game, BRHS racked up its most runs of the clinic but a lot of that was thanks to seven Park Crossing errors. The Wildcats scored seven earned runs in the 2 1/2-inning game. They

also had just three hits, one each from Baylee Adkins, Harris and McVey. In the circle, Laine McWaters and Leah Leonard combined for a three-hitter. They combined for four walks, but Leonard struck out four. The Wildcats officially start the season Feb. 19 at Chelsea.

BASEBALL CACC once again splits with Pensacola State

For the second time in as many days, Central Alabama Community College’s baseball team avenged a loss to Pensacola State. After falling to the Pirates, 11-1, in the first game Saturday afternoon, the Trojans bounced back to earn a 5-4 victory in Game 2. CACC (2-2) led 5-0 after five innings but had to hold on with all its might as Pensacola put up four runs in the bottom of the seventh, but a fielder’s choice with the bases loaded finally ended the game in the Trojans’ favor. Offense was the name of the game for the Trojans in the victory, as they racked up 11 hits. Chris Gillette went 3-for-4 with two runs scored, while Jay Macke had a double, a single and two RBIs. Louis Olivieri also had two hits, while Jeremy Almaguer, Donald Stokes, Mathew Radoslovich and Jacob Frye each notched a single. On the mound, Harrison Fant, Drake Hamil and Cody Rodger combined to allow seven hits, two earned runs and five strikeouts. In the first game, Stokes was the only person to create any offense for CACC. He finished with a home run for the only run of the game, and he also had a double.

mark surrounding the Wildcats. As of Monday afternoon, it was uncertain if starting point guard Za Stowes would be playing against Russell County. During Friday night’s game against Central Coosa, Stowes was sent to the locker room, got dressed and left the game midway through the fourth quarter. “It was a miscommunication,” Daniel said. “I think the pressure of the game got in our heads and we got out of control emotionally. That’s basically the bottom line.” Daniel has brought up two guards, Carl Russell and Qua Brownfield, from the JV team, and both have been playing decently well so far. But neither have been putting up nearly the same amount of points Stowes has recently. Daniel said he and his coaching staff would make a decision on Stowes’ return sometime today.

“It’s up in the air right now,” Daniel said. “We’re evaluating what it sprung from and how he manages it from (Monday) to (today).” Central Coosa will take on Fayetteville in the first round of its tournament today and will play the winner of Thorsby versus Reeltown if the Cougars win tonight. Like Benjamin Russell’s girls, the Cougars are the clear favorites in the area, having swept all six games. Their closest game was a 55-52 defeat of Thorsby, but in the other five games, the Cougars won by at least 19 points. But also just like BRHS, Central Coosa isn’t overlooking anyone. “The message this week is we can never disrespect an opponent and we’re never in awe of an opponent,” Coosa boys coach Jeremy Freeman said. “Any time you’re playing an opponent for a third time, it’s going to

Auburn Auburn caught fire again, reeling off 17 unanswered points, culminated by Harper’s steal and alley-oop to Brown for another slam. The Tigers ended the half on a 19-2 run and led 48-28 at intermission. “We’re going to go as No. 1 and No. 2 (Harper and Brown) take us,” Pearl said. “One and two showed, while size matters, speed and quickness are important, too.” Alabama trimmed the deficit to 11 but Harper answered, drawing a foul on a corner 3-pointer and making the free throw for a 4-point play. Twenty-two seconds later, J’Von McCormick assisted on

Just like that, Auburn led 60-43, and the crowd noise increased once again. “I want to thank our fans for creating this environment,” Pearl said. “I want to thank our students for standing in line all afternoon. The line was all the way down to the football stadium. I had never seen it like that.” John Petty led Alabama (13-8, 4-4) with 18 points. “This a tough building to play in,” Petty said. “You’ve just got to give credit to them, they shot the ball extremely well and they had their fans into the game. These are some of the best fans probably in the NCAA.”

be difficult. You know each other, you know the personnel and you know what to expect. It’s really about execution at this junction of the season.” Coosa, which was ranked No. 10 in Class 2A in the final Alabama Sports Writers Association rankings, has the ability to be extremely versatile. The Cougars have won games scoring fewer than 50 points and also earned victories with scores of more than 80. Freeman is hoping that diversity is going to help the Cougars achieve their ultimate goal of a state championship. “The greatest thing about that is that will be a reference point to any type of situation we get into,” Freeman said. “It’s always good to be versatile because you’ll be able to adapt. You just don’t know what style you’re going to have to implement with who you’re playing against.”

see him in the headlines for doing things he shouldn’t be doing, and he just comes across as a standup guy. There’s also a couple more amazing things about Brady you should consider. He’s easily the biggest steal of any draft for any sport ever. Brady was taken in the sixth round of the 2000 NFL Draft. That’s just unbelievable. He’s also a staggering 41 years old. Granted, that’s not actually all that old. But in the sports world, that’s ancient. He’s also got at least one more year in him — if not more. And knowing Tom Brady, he’ll probably be hunting down lucky No. 7 this time next year. Lizi Arbogast is the sports editor of The Outlook.
