Project update
WAR ON LITTER
Courthouse square project not dead yet By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Despite bids coming in $700,000 over budget for the courthouse square renovation in Dadeville, county and city leaders may still see the project come to fruition after four years of work. The extra funding might come from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) thanks to a meeting with director John Cooper set up by the local legislative delegation of Rep. Ed Oliver and Sen. Tom Whatley. “A contingent from the city including myself, Debbie Minor, Dick Harrelson, County commissioner Emma Jean Thweatt and county administrator Blake Beck visited with ALDOT director Cooper last Thursday,â€? Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith said. “As you know the bids came in high on the courthouse streetscape enhancement project. We went to Mr. Cooper to ask about more funding.â€? Tallapoosa County and City of Dadeville partnered in applying in 2015 and 2016 for TAP (Transportation Alternative Projects) grants with ALDOT. The city was going to provide $135,000 in matching grant funds and engineering fees and the county was going to provide $94,000 in matching grant funds and fees. With engineering fees and testing already paid for, the bid would bring the project to $700,000 over budget. The project is through the engineering firm of CDG. Originally, the project was budgeted for $900,000 and was to include renovating sidewalks, moving utilities and landscaping. With the project on both county and city property and rights-of-way, the Tallapoosa County Commission and the city combined their projects to try and get more work done for the money. As the idea of the project progressed, so did the scope and it eventually included an idea for onedirection traffic around the courthouse, meaning portions of Cusseta and Tallassee streets would have to meet ALDOT requirements for a state road. Tests revealed work would have to be done to the base of those streets to bring them up to par. See SQUARE • Page A3
Dadeville council trying to rectify trash issue By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Dadeville City Council and Mayor Wayne Smith want to do something about trash on the streets in Dadeville. At Tuesday’s council meeting, Smith reminded everyone of a community wide cleanup this Saturday. “This city has declared war on litter,â€? Smith said. “ We’ve got our citywide cleanup this Saturday. We are meeting here at city hall at 8 a.m. Waste Management has donated a dumpster.â€? Smith and the council hope more than just city officials will come out. “I’m looking for a good turnout,â€? Smith said. “I am challenging the schools and churches to come out and help. The weather will be good but a little bit cool early.â€? Councilmember Roy Mathis said he has a solution to the city’s litter problem after picking up trash along a three-quarter mile stretch of North Loop Road. “We have to go to the source,â€? Mathis said. “I picked up two wine bottles, a whiskey bottle, nine beer bottles and 11 beer cans. I picked up a Mellow Yellow bottle and a Coke can. People are See COUNCIL • Page A3

The Tallapoosa County Commission was given a presentation on a facility assessment for Tallapoosa County schools as part of a plea to keep a new 1-cent sales tax in place at Monday’s commission meeting. Last fall the commission tabled a resolution to rescind the 1-cent sales tax and asked leaders with county schools to present a plan of what they would do with the funding. Tallapoosa County schools superintendent Joe Windle said schools need the tax to remain in place so projects at all

county school campuses could take care of life-safety issues and bring facilities up to code. To help make the case, county schools brought back Goodwyn, Mills and Cawood executive vice president Fred Lynn who presented a facility assessment to the county school board in February. “It is a $34 million shopping list,â€? Lynn said. “It is about half renovations and half capital projects. It comes down to many of the facilities are tired; they need some work done.â€?

Other councilmembers said residents and guests would just purchase their alcohol elsewhere and come back to Dadeville not eliminating the litter problem. Smith said the Dadeville Volunteer Fire Department has already started the weekend cleanup. “A lot of our volunteers work at another department and won’t be available,” Smith said. “They have already gone out a couple days picking up setting an example for the rest of us.” Scott Henderson with CDG gave the council an update on the courthouse square renovation project. Henderson said there was a meeting with Alabama Department of Transportation officials and it seems likely ALDOT will take on the paving, drainage and utility-moving part of the project to help with project costs. Smith said the city’s street department has been working hard with drainage. “We have had a tremendous amount of rain this winter,” Smith said. “We have had a few drainage problems but nothing major.” Smith said employees in the department have been quick to check on problem areas correcting blocked drains and making quick fixes.

The project seemed dead until the Thursday meeting but there are still some hurdles. “They agreed to have additional TAP funding,” CDG’s Scott Henderson said. “We are trying to satisfy Mr. Cooper with some of the issues with the concrete paving. We are working to resolve that issue and it should be resolved over the next few days. There is another possible issue since it would now be two different fundings; there is Mr. Cooper’s funding and TAP funding. There is a possibility the funding for the paving could be pulled from the TAP project.” If the paving part of the TAP project is pulled, the project may need to be rebid, leading more costs. “If that does happen that will change the overall cost of the project,” Henderson said. “If it changes 10 percent, we would have to rebid the project. If ALDOT decides to pull that part out of the project we will have to rebid the project. We are waiting to see if that is the case. We don’t want to rebid it.” The TAP project cost $4,500 for the publishing and opening of the bids. Councilmember Roy Adams said it will cost another $6,000 to rebid. But those costs could be saved because ALDOT would take on the utility relocation. Harrelson said he was ready to get the project moving again

after almost losing hope for it. “We are trying to do it without rebidding,” Harrelson said. “It was an impressive meeting. I wasn’t expecting much when going, but I think we have a good chance at getting it approved.

o you want to do something special to help the community? There is an effort set for Saturday that will allow you to do just that. Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith reminded the city council and those joined at Tuesday’s meeting there will be a citywide cleanup Saturday. Smith hopes more than just the usual suspects will show up for the event. “I’m looking for a good turnout,” Smith said. “I am challenging the schools and churches to come out and help. The weather will be good but a little bit cool early.” We see trash every day as we drive up and down the highways or walk through the square, and it’s sad. We can do our part in many ways, and probably the easiest way is to simply not litter. How hard is it? Use a trash can and keep Tallapoosa County, Dadeville and the Lake Martin area in general beautiful. We applaud the efforts of officials for organizing these cleanups to keep our area clean. We encourage residents to get involved in activities that promote sustainable living. We hope you will volunteer Saturday and help. Volunteers are asked to meet at city hall in Dadeville at 8 a.m. If you can’t help Saturday, you can help every day in simple ways. • Use refillable water bottles or tumblers while out instead of plastic • Keep a box of trash bags on your boat or in your vehicle handy so you’re able to pick up trash even if there isn’t a trash can nearby • See an illegal dumpsite? Report it to your local law enforcement agency Let’s try to leave every place we visit not just the way it was, but a little bit better. In doing so we have the power to set the standard of behavior and treatment of our area and one step at a time help reduce pollution and illegal dumpsites that harm the ecosystems in our area, our state and our country.
ov. Kay Ivey made infrastructure improvement in the state her cornerstone issue for this year and more importantly for her term as governor. Within less than three months in office she and the legislature have successfully accomplished this mission. Last Friday the Alabama House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed monumental legislation on an 84-20 vote. It was a remarkable victory for Ivey and the House leadership. It was a bipartisan coalition of support. Only 18 of the 77 Republicans voted against the bills and only two of the 28 Democrats voted no. It passed the Senate just as easily and was sent to the governor for her signature on Tuesday. The leaders in the House were the sponsor, Rep. Bill Poole (R-Tuscaloosa), Speaker Mac McCutcheon (R-Madison), Rep. Steve Clouse (R-Ozark) and Rep. Anthony Daniels (D-Huntsville). The Senate leaders are Sen. Clyde Chambliss (R-Prattville), who is the Senate sponsor, Sen. Del Marsh (R-Anniston), Sen. Jabo Waggoner (R-Vestavia), Sen. Bobby Singleton (D-Greensboro) and Sen. Greg Reed (R-Jasper). These legislative leaders, along with Ivey, threw down the gauntlet and clearly dug in to make this infrastructure initiative their No. 1 priority. These leaders recognized the need to improve our roads and bridges and the long-term economic expansion of our state. They are truly thinking about the next generation, not the next election. Huntsville is projected to grow faster than any city in America over the next decade. The job growth will continue

A
retired couple who are friends of mine told me, “Many people believe us old people get our healthcare free. Do they realize that we, and we are not alone, pay over 50 percent of our income for healthcare insurance, and that doesn’t include co-payments or cost to get to and from doctor’s offices or hospitals. The VA does help us (maybe) with co-payments and mileage but that isn’t true for most people on Medicare.” Democrats promised to fix healthcare with the Affordable Care Act, signed into law March 23, 2010. Nowadays, Democratic presidential hopefuls for 2020 are proposing new and improved plans for fixing healthcare called universal healthcare or Medicare for all. Sen. Bernie Sanders, the self-proclaimed leader of the socialist pack of Democrats, has been beating the universal healthcare drum for years. In a CBS Interview last month, Sanders said, “If our friends in Scandinavia can provide quality healthcare to all of their people as a right, for far less than we spend, you tell me why we can’t do it.” Bernie’s fellow presidential hopefuls are trying to follow his lead. Universal healthcare will be a huge issue in the 2020 election, and supporters will appeal to systems in other “developed” nations that apparently work just fine. How are Scandinavian nations
DANIEL GARDNER Columnist providing “quality healthcare to all of their people?” According to a March 8 Reuters’ article, there is trouble in healthcare utopia. “Healthcare systems across much of the developed world have come under increasing stress in recent years as treatment costs soar and people live longer, meaning fewer workers are supporting more pensioners,” Anne Kauranen wrote. “Nordic countries, where comprehensive welfare is the cornerstone of the social model, have been among the most affected. But reform has been controversial and, in Finland, plans to cut costs and boost efficiency have stalled for years.” A recent BBC article also noted the problems in Finland. “Like many developed nations, Finland has an aging population that is putting financial pressure on its social welfare systems. As an increasing number of people live longer in retirement, the cost of providing pension and healthcare benefits can rise. Those increased costs are paid for by taxes collected from the workingage population — who make up a smaller percentage of the population than in decades past.”
American voters need to know Scandinavians at every income level have to pay higher taxes than Americans in order to pay for socialist services including healthcare. According to the Tax Foundation: “A lot of the spending-side programs in Scandinavian countries cost a lot. Taxes would definitely need to be increased in the United States if it were to adopt them. If the U.S. were to raise taxes in a way that mirrors Scandinavian countries, taxes — especially on the middle-class — would increase through a new VAT (value added tax) and high payroll and income taxes. Business and capital taxes wouldn’t necessarily increase, in fact, the marginal corporate income tax rate would decline significantly.” In other words, the federal government would have to create more taxes, and Americans would have to pay higher payroll and income taxes to cover costs for universal healthcare or Medicare for all. Many Americans understand the dangers socialism poses for any nation. Medicare is not free in America today. Medicare for all would be disastrous. Daniel L.

million was needed in capital projects. Lynn, a Reeltown High School graduate said much of the work is needed at Reeltown Elementary School. “I love that building,” Lynn said. “It needs a lot of work.” Lynn told the school board in February the building’s windows, boiler and restrooms needs a lot of work, while equipment is needed in the school’s cafeteria so food is not cooked at the high school and brought to what he called a “warming kitchen.” The assessment even took a look at student population. “We are only concerned with growth in one area (Reeltown),” Windle said. “We only see it level everywhere else.” Windle told commissioners currently the school system has about $8.4 million in the bank with $1.8 million being the required one month’s operating expense the state requires. Windle also said the county school board would not be putting all of the 1-cent sales tax to a bond issue. “We are looking to pledging 80 to 85 percent of the tax to a bond issue,” Windle said. “That would leave us about $400,000 a year to go to other things.” Windle said the board is looking at a $25 million bond issue to be paid over 25 years. He said it looked at 30 years but the extra five years to repay the bond would cost county schools $4 to $5 million more. “As you can see, we have a lot of needs,” Windle said. “We rank 94 of 138 in local funding. We can do better in Tallapoosa County; our kids deserve better.” Windle said life-safety issues would be the first projects to be addressed. Windle said the last time there was an increase in local funding was in 1989 when the commission passed a 1-cent sales tax. The newest tax brought $1.47 million to county schools the first year, $1.54 million the second year and $1.57 million the third year. “That 1 cent is the last raise in local funding,” Windle said. “If children in 1989 were worthy of 1 cent, surely children in 2019 are worth 1 cent. Without good schools Tallapoosa County will not progress.” Commissioners asked Windle and the county school board to come back to the commission with a prioritized list of projects it wishes to complete. While Windle thanked the commission for the sales tax at the commission meeting, he was more critical of the commission at Monday night’s Tallapoosa County Board of Education meeting. Windle was especially upset at the requirements the commission put on the county school board but not Alexander City schools. Forty months ago when the commission passed the newest 1-cent sales tax to help meet its one month’s operating expense requirement, it asked county schools to report how the funds from the tax were being

spent, to get a property tax referendum on the ballot which it did and failed and to present a plan on how county schools wanted to spend the funds from the tax. “It rubs us the wrong way,” Windle said. “We had all these requirements the last 40 months but (Alexander City Schools) have not had any.” Windle also noted at the board of education meeting the lack of reaction of commissioners to county school board member Carla Talton’s invitation to tour county schools to see the system’s needs. “It was dead silence,” Windle said. “It was crickets.” Officials say Alexander City schools could be making a similar presentation at the commission’s next meeting. Tallapoosa EMA director Jason Moran asked for the commission’s help in notifying the public about Tallapoosa Alert especially since an EF4 tornado took 23 lives in Lee County a little more than a week ago. “Tallapoosa Alert is considered the primary system to alert in Alexander City and Dadeville,” Moran said. “Due to rising cost to maintain sirens, they have elected to use Tallapoosa Alert as their primary system.” Moran said everyone needs more than one way to get alerts when watches and warnings are issued. “I want to encourage everyone to have multiple ways to get alerts,” Moran said. “I also want to encourage everyone to have a plan.”

Commissioners wanted Moran to extend an invitation to Lee County if it needed help with anything from equipment to manpower as it had helped Tallapoosa County with mutual aid in the past. The commission recognized Larry Henderson, who recently retired as a superintendent in District 5. “I have worked with Mr. Larry for 21 years,” county engineer David Moore said. “I appreciate his dedication. “We appreciate all that you did and best wishes,” commissioner T.C. Coley said. “We keep asking our people to do more with less and less and they still do great work.” In other action, the Tallapoosa County Commission also: • Approved April as Child Abuse Prevention Month. • Approved warrants and purchase orders. • Approved the reappointment of Ernie Barnes to the Walnut Hill Water Authority Board. • Approved the reappointment of Wilbur Terrell and William Rogers Welch to the Wall Street Water Authority Board. • Approved the reappointment of Roger Pritchard to the Jacksons Gap Water Authority Board. • Approved employee leave under the Family Medical Leave Act. • Approved road name changes in StillWaters. • Approved applying for fiscal year

On Sunday, March 17, many people will celebrate the life of Maewyn Succat, commonly known as Saint Patrick. Many Nations around the World observe this holiday. Maewyn Succat was born around 400 A.D. in Britain. When he was around 16 years old, he was kidnapped by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland. After he escaped those who enslaved him, he returned to Britain where he became a Monk. He changed his name to Patricius and returned to Ireland where he performed many good deeds as a missionary. Legend even states that he drove all snakes from the Island. (This is not true since there are no native snake species in Ireland.) For his good works, he was made the Patron Saint of Ireland. He died on March 17, 461 A.D. The holiday was originally created as a religious feast day in honor of Saint Patrick. In other parts of the World, it has almost become a celebration of Ireland itself. Today people celebrate the holiday by wearing green and having parties where foods are often dyed green. Parades are held in many major cities around the World. Rivers have even been dyed green to honor the occasion. If you are not wearing green on St. Patrick’s Day, tradition states that friends might teasingly pinch you.

Senate President Pro Tem Del Marsh (R-Anniston) said dramatically improved funding for infrastructure improvements was needed. “This bill was passed the correct way,” he said in a release. “Over the past year my office alone has held over 30 open meetings with legislators and all interested stakeholders. All voices were heard and nothing was rushed. “Over the last 10 years we have seen unprecedented growth in Alabama. Median income is up 20 percent; unemployment is at an all-time low. We have dramatically reduced the size of state government; we have over 6,000 fewer state employees today than we did eight years ago which equates to a 15 percent reduction. However, in this time, our infrastructure has lagged behind and everyone agreed that something needed to be done.” Marsh said strict oversight of ALDOT will ensure the money is spent as intended. “Because of this, there is no doubt that going forward the money which is supposed to be used for infrastructure will be used for road, bridge and port improvements,”
Marsh said. “As a fiscal conservative, it would have been impossible to support any type of revenue measure in the infrastructure package without the oversight and accountability laid out in this bill. Marsh said he is proud the legislature made a significant move to help future generations. “This infrastructure package will drive industry in Alabama for years to come and ensure that we continue the strong economic growth that we have enjoyed over the past few years by making sure that we are competitive on the world stage when it comes to recruiting jobs,” he said. “It’s going to allow an opportunity for our children and grandchildren to stay in Alabama, find good jobs here (and) earn a good living. So this is about the future of Alabama. It’s a great day for Alabama.” Another $12 million a year will be allocated to a bond issue to widen and deepen the Mobile Ship Channel and boost the Port City’s capacity for cargo traffic; 75 percent of that project will be paid by federal dollars according to Rep. Bill Poole (R-Tuscaloosa), the architect of the bill.

Fifth inning gives way to Wildcats’ victory over Tigers By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
TOPS IN THE STATE
Dadeville’s PJ Eason earns spot on 3A second team Coosa lands 3 on all-state, Freeman named 2A Coach of the Year
Two major things happened in the fifth inning of Saturday’s all-local baseball showdown between Benjamin Russell and Dadeville. The first was BRHS limiting the Tigers to just one run despite them getting three on with only one out. The second was the Wildcats taking advantage of a costly error that allowed them to kick start some momentum and score four runs of their own in the bottom the frame. Those two things combined let Benjamin Russell avenge an earlier loss to its rivals, as it defeated Dadeville, 9-1, Saturday afternoon. “We were rolling in the fifth,” Dadeville coach Curtis Martin said. “We (should’ve) got the first out when we struck out the guy but we couldn’t make the throw to first and that killed us. That was the play that changed the game. That throwing error to first base is really what started their momentum. That jumpstarted their rally.” Benjamin Russell (8-5) got itself out of a jam that could’ve made the game a lot worse prior to that play though. The teams went scoreless through the first four innings before Dadeville (5-4) really started to make some noise. Seth Atkins and Max McClendon started the inning with back-to-back singles before the Wildcats put the first out on the board. The Tigers then scored their only run of the game, as Jake Outlaw smashed a double just inside the left-field foul line See BASEBALL • Page B2

Just because you win a state championship does not mean you’ll be recognized individually across the state. But that wasn’t the case for three Central Coosa players and their coach when the Alabama Sports Writers Association All-State team was released this weekend. Despite missing nearly half the season with an injury, Coosa guard/forward Noel Jones had undeniable stats, which were good enough to land him a spot on the Class 2A boys first team. Jones averaged nearly 18 points per game this season and also led the team with 6.8 rebounds per game. “He played against the right teams though,” Coosa coach Jeremy Freeman said. “He didn’t miss any big games. He was there for Talladega, Sylacauga, so that probably did it for him. There’s also not anybody else that’s a three-year starter for me.” Jovon Richardson, who was the 2A tournament MVP at state, earned a spot on the second team, and Omar Gaddis was named an honorable mention.

’all know I’m a big fan of the student-athletes and coaches in the area. When I first came to the South, a part of me was worried about being a female in what a lot of people consider a male profession. I was a little nervous about being surrounded by Southern men who I stereotyped as potentially being sexist. Coming from up north, I honestly didn’t know what to expect. But every day since I moved to Alabama almost two years ago, I have been proven wrong. Not once has a coach or player made me feel uncomfortable. Not once have I felt they thought I didn’t know what I was talking about or they were judging me for being a woman talking sports. I have been treated with the utmost respect since I’ve been here, and I’ve grown fond of my “Miss Liz” nickname so many of the kids around here call me. So it shouldn’t come as a shock to me when I’m inspired and in awe of players, coaches See ARBOGAST • Page B2

After getting off to a strong start Friday afternoon at the Wetumpka Tournament, things went downhill for Dadeville’s softball team, as it lost both its games Saturday afternoon. The Tigers started out with a 4-2 victory over Montgomery Catholic but then fell to Robert E. Lee, 8-2, and Elmore County, 11-4.

SLOPPY VICTORY
Reeltown takes win over Park Crossing By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
What started a pitchers’ duel turned into a pitchers’ flop as both Reeltown and Park Crossing’s baseball team had a walk-filled inning. But despite the Rebels allowing seven walks and three other free passes via hit batters, they still managed to come out on top, 10-8, on Friday night. Colby Clark got the Rebels off to a great start, allowing just one hit through the first four innings. “Colby’s just a competitor,” Reeltown coach Trey Chambers said. “He’s going to go out and give me the same thing every time. He’s going to fill it up and give us the best chance to win, so I commend him for that.” Although Clark threw some fire in the opening four frames, sitting down six Thunderbird batters via strikeout, the Rebels were still trailing, 3-2, when Clark was relieved. Park Crossing scored a run in the first inning off a hit batter and two back-to-back errors. Its second run came in the third inning as Mason Williams walked to lead off, was moved only by an error and a wild pitch and was plated by a sacrifice fly. The only hit Clark allowed did some damage too, as Park Crossing scored again in the fourth. But Clark was helped out in the bottom of the fourth by the Rebels’ best offensive inning. Logan Hunt led off the frame with a single, and he moved all the way to third on a pair of wild pitches. Reed Baker then walked, and while he was stealing second, it gave Hunt time to score a run. The Rebels then scored back-to-back runs on a double from Andy Mann and a single from Jordan Whitlow to take back a 4-3 lead. It looked like things might fall apart for Reeltown in the fifth inning, as Park Crossing drew four straight walks and managed to score four runs on six walks and a hit batter in the fifth frame alone. Luckily for the Rebel faithful, the Thunderbirds also struggled on the mound after taking out their starting pitcher. Reeltown’s only hit of the fifth inning was a leadoff single then it scored for runs on three walks and a trio of hit batters, giving it an 8-7 lead. Reeltown really seized the momentum in the top of the sixth as Logan Lee made the first out with a popup to second base then chased down the second out, grabbing it a ball out of the air. The Rebels also got a

places with her with one of her own. Makya Johnson then drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to give the Tigers the lead. Dadeville (4-6) scored more than enough insurance with two more runs in the third inning. After one out, Tiffany Rice drew a walk to get things started. Isis Johnson then singled to left field, and Montgomery Catholic got the second out with a fielder’s choice. But a single from Makya Johnson plated two more runs. Throughout the three games of the tournament, Dadeville finished with 12 hits, including three apiece by Isis Johnson and Veres. Cali Jones had two hits and two RBIs. Malorie Meadors did most of the work in the circle, firing 5 2/3 innings. Although she gave up 14 hits and 11 runs, only six of those were earned. She struck out two and walked three. Grace McCary also threw 3 1/3 innings and gave up only one hit. Makya Johnson had four strikeouts in three innings of work.
Wildcats struggle against tough competition
Benjamin Russell’s softball team headed to the Hoover Tournament this weekend and fell to three straight tough opponents. After suffering a loss to Brookwood on Friday night, the Wildcats fell to Scottboro, 7-4, and Hoover, 10-2. Benjamin Russell (8-7) struggled throughout the tournament, especially defensively. The Wildcats committed a total of 17 errors and of the 28 runs scored against them, only 13 were earned. Asia McWaters did most of the work in the circle, firing 15 2/3 innings. She gave up 29 hits but also struck out 16 and walked only two. Taylor Harris threw just 1 1/3 inning but allowed only one hit. Benjamin Russell also didn’t have its best offensive performances throughout the tournament, totaling just 14 hits and eight runs. Haylee Hunter led the way with three hits and three RBIs. Leah Leonard, McWaters and Brooke Bowden each had two hits.
All-State
In addition to Coosa’s players’ success, Freeman was also given the highest honor as he was named the Class 2A Boys Basketball Coach of the Year. “That was another one of my goals that I wanted to try to achieve,” Freeman said. “It’s very humbling to receive something statewide. A lot of things, people know you locally but when you’re getting recognition from all across the state, it’s just a big step for myself. I’m very happy File / The Record about it and pleased to know Jovon Richardson was that my body of work is appreciated.” one of three Coosa players In just his second year named to all-state. at the helm, Freeman led the Cougars to a 23-4 record and their first state championship since 2004. Central Coosa wasn’t the only local team recognized by the ASWA. Dadeville sophomore PJ Eason averaged nearly a double-double this season and was named to the Class 3A second team. Eason averaged 15.5 points and 7.9 rebounds per game. He also had 72 blocks, 86 assists and 64 steals on the season.

strong play in the outfield to retire Park Crossing in order for just the second time in the game. “I’ve been preaching to them that defense is going to win you games,” Chambers said. “So we try to take pride in our defense and try to take it one day at a time. Once they did make those plays, it kinda gave us momentum.” Reeltown added some insurance with a two-run single from Mann in the bottom of the sixth. Logan Hunt also had a hit in the frame, and the Rebels held off the Thunderbirds in the final frame to grab the victory. Reeltown has been up and down throughout the season, but Chambers said he’s liking the progress he’s been seeing. “We’re slowing improving and that’s what we want,” he said. “We don’t want to be too high, and we don’t want to be too low. We just want to stay even keel.”

for Reeltown and Elmore County also committed an error in the seventh. It still wasn’t enough for Reeltown first-year coach Trey Chambers. “We didn’t make the routine plays,” Chambers said. “A lot of those runs were the result of us dropping a lot of balls and not making our throws. We’ve got a lot of work to do if we want to start winning games.” Area play begins next week, but with all the rain that has fallen in the state of Alabama, there hasn’t been a lot of time devoted to practice. It’ll come down to how many game reps each team can get as the season winds down. The 27 runs scored Tuesday was all the indication of the lack of time handling the baseball. “We made some mistakes in that last inning,” Byrd said. “We’ve got to correct those things because we’re not always going to be in games like this, hopefully. We’re heading in the right direction. I feel like we’re gaining our confidence at the plate, and that’s should help us as we look to win some area games.”
Baseball

driving in Atkins. With McClendon and Outlaw in prime scoring position, Benjamin Russell pitcher Brock Elliott started the damage control. He fanned the next batter on a full count before intentionally walking Slade McCullers to load the bases. The decision paid off, as the Wildcats got the final out with a fielder’s choice. “Brock threw the ball really well,” Benjamin Russell coach Richy Brooks said. “That fifth inning was the big turning point for him. They had one out and already gotten a run in, and he kept the game there. When he kept the game there, that let us stay in the game. They could’ve broken it open right there and that would’ve been tough to come back from.” McCullers, who threw a fantastic five innings for the Tigers, looked like he was going to get right back to work as he struck out Huell Lumpkin. But Lumpkin motored to first on a dropped third strike and got on base via an error. That seemed to ignite the Wildcats, as Wilson Hays followed with a single, which was BRHS’ first hit of the day. With one out, Denzel Greene grounded into fielder’s choice to score Lumpkin and tie the game. The Wildcats then loaded the bases when Joe Young drew a walk, and Brett Pitts made the Tigers pay with a two-run single. Benjamin Russell scored once more on a fielder’s choice by Elliott to go ahead 4-1 after five complete innings. “Slade pitched a heckuva game; just defensively, we couldn’t back him up by making plays,” Martin said. “I hate giving games away and I felt like we gave that one away. It’s tough but we can’t dwell on it. We gotta put our boots on and win the

next one.” Brooks said, “I thought we started off a little sluggish. Credit to their pitcher though; McCullers threw the ball really well. But we didn’t have good at bats. We didn’t have good approaches. Once we started bunting the baseball, runners started getting on base and things started happening. We got a little energy and excitement, and we picked our game up a little bit.” Hays and Elliott called the game and Elliott looked extremely sharp, scattering six hits in his six innings pitched. He struck out 10 and walked only two. Colby Riddle finished off the game with a one-hit seventh inning. He fanned two. On the flip side, McCullers threw five innings,
Arbogast and parents in this area. But I am constantly moved by the kids in this area. Sometimes it’s by their athletic accomplishments. Reeltown’s Eric Shaw just picked up his fifteenth collegiate offer, this one from LSU, and we all know how emotional I got over Central Coosa’s boys basketball win in the Class 2A state championship last week. But more importantly, when the students do something extremely aweinspiring, I’m even more moved. For instance, Benjamin Russell’s football team came together in exceptional ways after the deaths of Devin Billups and coach Curtis Glaize. The Wildcats also decided to dedicate their track and field season to Billups.

striking out nine and walking two. Both teams turned around and defeated Clay Central in the latter part of the tripleheader. Benjamin Russell won, 11-1, while the Tigers claimed an 11-8 victory. For the Wildcats, Pitts and Brooks Vardaman both had a pair of hits in the second game. Pitts threw the first five innings, allowing just four hits and no earned runs. He struck out six and walked two. Lumpkin then threw a perfect final inning to finish off the Volunteers. For Dadeville, which racked up 16 hits against Clay Central, McCullers led the way with two doubles and a single. Ty Bell, Childers, McClendon, Tripp McKinley and Alex Sims each had a pair of hits.
continued from Page B1 Obviously, when a tragedy strikes one of your own, it’s easier and clear why a team would want to raise funds or do something in memory of a fallen person. But when that tragedy strikes an opponent, it becomes even more inspirational when a team makes the decision to do something in recognition. I had the pleasure of covering Beauregard’s first baseball game Thursday after last weekend’s tragic tornado. I wondered all week if the game would still be played, but when I didn’t hear otherwise, I headed to the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex to cover the Wildcats taking on the torn Hornets. Upon arrival at the game, the teams were joined together in a moment of silence and prayer, and the Alexander City
Parks and Recreation Department had also made a “WE ARE BR” sign using both Beauregard and Benjamin Russell’s logos as the B and the R. As much as those signs of support are something to be proud of, it wasn’t until after the game when I interviewed BRHS coach Richy Brooks that I learned the Wildcats’ players and parents had gotten together to raise more than $4,000 for a Beauregard player who had lost everything in the tornado. Payton Whatley attended the game but was understandably too emotional to take the field; he did receive the money afterward though. The tornado hit Sunday afternoon, and just four days later, the Wildcats had already raised that much money. That shows the character and dedication
of the student-athletes in this area and the lengths they are willing to go to help someone they usually consider a competitor. In times of tragedy, it’s important to remember sometimes it’s bigger than a game; it’s more than just about wins and losses. There’s a whole life out there with people suffering each and every day, and sports is one of the few things that can bring us together for a common cause. Please continue to be the best studentathletes you can be, and never change, Tallapoosa County, because you guys are top-notch. Lizi Arbogast is the sports editor of The Record.

The Dadeville Record
Elmore County softball takes advantage of Reeltown late-inning miscues By KAMARRI DARRINGTON For The Record
Just as the baseball game played between the two schools earlier in the day, the softball nightcap between Elmore County and Reeltown went back-and-forth all game long. The Panthers and Rebels were tied heading into the final inning. That’s when the wheels fell off permanently for Reeltown. Aided by three walks and a trio of wild pitches in the seventh inning, Elmore County defeated Reeltown, 11-8, in a matchup of sister head coaches. Each team scored three runs in the first, two runs in the second and three runs in the fifth to set up the dramatic final frame. Eleanor Watts started the Panthers seventh with a walk and advanced on
a fielder’s choice by Madelyn Becker. After Kelina Daniels walked, Emerald Britt walked to give Elmore County a 9-8 lead. Maci Curlee followed by drawing another walk then Daniels scored on a wild pitch by Isabella Studdard. Kayla Clements added an RBI off a groundout for the final run. Curlee pitched a complete game, allowing eight runs (five earned) on nine hits with five walks. Curlee had 10 strikeouts and finished with 142 pitches. She also walked twice with two RBIs at the plate. Elmore County scored its 11 runs off just four hits. Each team committed three errors. “We made a lot of errors in the beginning of the game,” Elmore County coach Kim Moncrief said. “It’s tough to mentally battle back. I’m proud of the girls for being able to do
that. They believe in themselves and that’s what we talk about. It means a lot to me as a coach to see them fight like that.” Reeltown was set down in order in the bottom half of the seventh. Karlee Cotten started the game for the Rebels, lasting only an inning and allowed five runs on five walks. Kenzie Hornsby pitched three relief innings, allowing no runs on one hit with three walks. Reeltown pitchers walked 12 batters. Mental toughness was the theme in the postgame huddle for Reeltown coach Kelli Hilyer. Studdard’s two-run triple in the fifth was the game-tying hit. Studdard went 2-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout. Marlee Knox had a triple and a stolen base. “We have only five seniors, and the rest are freshmen and sophomores,”

Hilyer said. “We’ve got to learn that we can’t give up in these games. We didn’t make the adjustments at the plate. We saw what locations were being called strikes, and we just didn’t hit them.” When the night on the baseball and softball diamonds was finished, the two schools combined to score 46 runs. Now, Elmore County and Reeltown look forward to playing tournaments this weekend to give their players more time on the field as area play looms. Rain has caused a sputter to the start of the season on both sides. “We’ve only played one home game this year, so we’ve got a lot left on our docket,” Moncrief said. “We’ve played in two tournaments and two regularseason games. We’ve seen some good teams, and we’ve battled with some good teams. We want to move forward with the season, but we’re where we want to be right now.”
