Safe lake weekend
Despite citations and warnings, ALEA Marine Police report no major accidents
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Even with the threat of Tropical Storm Alberto, people took to the lakes this weekend to kick off the summer with Memorial Day Weekend. Working alongside those who were vacationing were the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency Marine

Patrol Troopers, making sure everyone stayed safe. ALEA Marine Patrol Captain Gary Buchanan said things were relatively safe on Lake Martin with no accidents. “Obviously the amount of boating traffic was lower than normal due to the weather,” Buchanan said. “But on Lake Martin 35 citations, including seven minors possessing
alcohol were issued. There was also one boater assist.” In addition to the citations, Buchanan said 109 warnings were issued. “The warnings could be for any boating violation other that BUI of course,” he said. “The warnings could have been stand alone, or they may have been issued in See ALEA • Page 3

ALBERTO CAUSES FEW LOCAL ISSUES Storm loses punch before arriving in Tallapoosa County
By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Despite early projections showing Tallapoosa County to be in line for severe weather from the first named storm of the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season, Subtropical Storm Alberto brought plenty of rain, but little else, to the area over the weekend. “As of 7 a.m. (Tuesday), the National Weather Service estimated we saw between half an inch and 1.3 inches throughout the county,” Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran said. “This has definitely been beneficial with our drought situation.” As the storm passed over central Alabama, Tallapoosa County found itself under a flash flood watch and a wind advisory, but very few problems manifested themselves.

As part of National School Counselors Week in February, students at Dadeville High School took part in a special essay contest held by the Alabama Counseling Association. Recently, the ACA announced the winners of the contest at each grade level. Among those recognized were seventhgrader Tayler Christian and 10th grader Jakiyla Gibson. Christian earned second place for the seventhgraders, while Gibson was the winner of the 10th grade contest. “We were very excited to have two winners in the contest,” Dadeville High School Counselor Mona Howard said. “We really tried to promote school See ESSAY • Page 2
Alex City woman is mother, speaker, life coach and now author By ALIAH JONES Staff Writer
Mother, motivational speaker and life coach, are only a few of the important titles Alexander City native Lakesha Denise Trimble carries. She is also a published author. Trimble is the author of a new book “Powerful Woman of Faith” that she says is filled with wisdom and inspiration. She heavily credits those who look to her as a role model as inspiration for writing her book. “I get messages from people all the time asking me to pray for
them and to give them advice on something,” Trimble said. “This book will help them to understand what God’s purpose is for them. It’s refreshing to know how this book can help others.” But her support system doesn’t stop there. She also credits her family as inspiration to write the book. “My children support me in everything, even the things we often see as small,” Trimble said. “My children would see me typing and writing and wonder what I was doing. When I told them it’s for my book, they would tell me that I could do it. I have so much

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for 13 years and have two beautiful children. I recently found out that for the last two years, he has been having an affair, and his mistress is now three months pregnant. When I confronted him about the situation, he claimed he doesn’t know what to do. I have told him I’m willing to work things out and be supportive of the child, but the affair has to stop. The problem is, he’s having a hard time letting go. He says he’s in love with both of us. I love my husband deeply and do not want to throw it all away for a mistake that I, too, once made. I know his mistress wants to be with him and has been slowly working her way into his life. Please give me some advice. -- LOST IN LOVE IN HOUSTON DEAR LOST: Insist that you

counseling week this year.” The question for this year’s essay contest was “What is a school counselor and how has your school counselor helped you?” Howard said that, for the elementary grades, the ACA sponsored a poster contest with a similar theme. “Some of the teachers had their students do an essay,” Howard said. “Others didn’t as much. Gibson actually did hers in a creative writing class. “Schools are only allowed to send in one essay per grade. We looked over all of the essays and picked the best entries to send in.” As a reward for Gibson placing first in the contest, Howard’s registration fee to the annual Alabama Counseling
Association conference has been paid. Along with this, Christian and Gibson have received special recognition from the school and others. “We gave them an award on awards day. They were really excited about that,” Howard said. “We are also going to have them recognized at the Tallapoosa County Board of Education meeting in June.” In the future, Howard said the school will continue to actively promote National School Counselors Week, and will also continue to encourage DHS students to take part in the essay contest. “We’re proud of our students for wanting to participate in this contest,” Howard said. “We want our students to keep taking part.”

Storm “I received no reports of flash flooding,� Moran said. “I had three calls of trees down, but no power outage reports. The impact we had was not as hard as it could have been.� “We had surprisingly very little happen,� Alexander City Public Works Director Gerard Brewer said. “We had no major calls. There were reports of a few branches down, but no trees that I am aware of, and no reports of flooding. This was less than what we anticipated. “The EMA did keep us well informed, and I’m glad it wasn’t as much of an event as it could have been.� Alabama Power reported approximately 20,000 customers across Alabama were left without power during and after the storm, of which 230 were in Tallapoosa County. In Alexander City, there were a few scattered power outages, but most of those were localized problems. “From Thursday through Monday, we had 11 cases total,� Alexander City Light Department’s Ricky Waller said. “Most of them were just limbs down across lines. We were able to get on those pretty quickly and no one had to be without power for very long. It was nothing like they had predicted.� Though the storm brought mostly rain into the Lake Martin area and there was very little damage seen across the county, units were standing by, ready to respond to any situation that might arise. “Different entities were on standby over the weekend if they had been needed,� Moran said. “Our road crews were out riding the roads late last week, checking on drains and culverts,� Brewer said. “Right now (early Tuesday afternoon), our crews are working on clipping some on the shoulders

to help drain water from the roadways and checking for any other potential hazards.� Though Alberto has come and gone, Moran said area residents should still remain cautious over the next several days. “We could see some severe weather come our way next weekend,� he said. “I urge people to remain cautious when the ground gets saturated. The more saturated the ground is, the less wind speed is needed to cause damage such as downing trees. “I also want to remind everyone to have multiple ways to get their weather information, including Tallapoosa Alert.

ALEA conjunction to a citation.� Lake Jordan had fewer citations over the weekend with five, but there were two reported accidents on Lake Jordan. “One was a boat fire at the state ramp,� Buchanan said. “As the operator attempted to start the boat, a small explosion and fire occurred. A small child was injured and subsequently transported to the burn unit at UAB. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.� The boat fire was not the only accident on Lake Jordan. “The other accident involved a boat towing people on two tubes,� Buchanan said. “The two tubes collided together and one of the passengers was injured. The extent of the injuries and the cause of the collision is still under investigation.� Buchanan reported seven warnings and an arrest for possession of marijuana were issued on Lake Jordan, along with the five citations. With Memorial Day over with, boaters still cannot relax on boating safely and following the law.
continued from page 1
Last year there were about 100 boat accidents statewide with 17 related fatalities. On Lake Martin there were nine reported accidents with five injures and no fatalities involving about $500,000 in property damage. There have already been six deaths related to boating accidents this year, higher than normal, most of which could have been prevented. “Three people died in a single accident on Lake Eufaula already this year,� Buchanan said. “That was the result of a boat being overloaded and being out when the weather got bad. The boat capsized and three guys drowned as a result.� ALEA Marine Patrol Trooper Brian Culligan are hoping the public takes note of precautions before going out on the water wanting boaters designate a driver and be aware of what the sun and water can do to alcohol consumption. “You hear all the time about designated drivers on the highway, we preach that message on the water,� Buchanan said. “You
need a designated boat operator, that is not drinking who is driving the boat and keeping an eye on the other things going on.� They also want to remind boaters about the boat operator being licensed, the boat being licensed and with the proper equipment like life jackets and navigational lights. Buchanan wants to remind boaters to be courteous and on the look out for others. While the rules seem intimidating, Buchanan explained it is to make sure all are safe while having fun. “Memorial Day is the beginning of the summer season,� Buchanan said. “We just want to get the message out of safety on the water. People come to the lake to have a good time. We want to make sure they have a great time. We want to make sure people don’t endanger themselves or others at the same time.�

Our View
A
total of 12 hospitals across the state have either closed or announced their closure since 2011. In other areas hospitals are treading water and cutting to the bone just to survive. Specialists are leaving smaller hospitals and moving on to larger ones in hopes of getting paid a fair price for their services. Many times residents are having to drive hours just to get the help they need. We are lucky here in Alexander City. While there has been an impact, our community hospital is faring better than most. What is the problem? There are several factors, but the main issue is the inability of Alabama’s elected officials to see the forest for the trees. We aren’t here to debate the merits of the Affordable Healthcare Act, also known my many as Obamacare. But a provision of that plan was to allow states to expand Medicaid. For the first year the feds paid for everything and by 2020 the states would be responsible for 10 percent. Instead of facing another budget challenge, the idea was rejected by the political establishment in Montgomery. Forget that hospitals were closing and that leaders from the state’s health-care community were almost on their knees begging for help. As much as we would hope leaders would reconsider that decision, we aren’t holding our breath. The Outlook featured a story about the support of Sen. Doug Jones for two bills that may help struggling hospitals some. Jones sponsored his first piece of original legislation called the Rural Health Liaison Act which is designed to improve coordination among the United States Department of Agriculture and other health care stakeholders. He is also backing the Fair Medicare Hospital Payments Act of 2017 (S.397) that would help hospitals remain open and functioning, especially in underserved and economically struggling regions by correcting a flawed formula that results in disproportionately low Medicare reimbursement payments to hospitals in rural and low-wage areas. Alabama is currently reimbursed at the lowest rate in the nation, with providers getting just 67 cents on the dollar. The bill would establish a national minimum “area wage index” of 0.874. The area wage index is based on the relative hospital wage level in the hospital’s geographic area compared to the national average. We would suggest that you all read up on these bills and urge your elected officials to support them. But if you really want to make a difference, lobby your state reps and senators to reconsider their stance on the expansion of Medicaid so we can stop the bleeding that our rural medical facilities are experiencing.

The
Senator Shelby gets appropriations
Opinion
It’s time to help rural medical facilities
Outlook
I
n my book, “Of Goats and Governors: Six Decades of Alabama Political Stories,” I suggest that based on seniority, tenure, power and prestige that Alabama’s greatest senators have been Lister Hill, John Sparkman, and Richard Shelby. Folks, Richard Shelby has probably forged to the front of that triumvirate with his elevation to the chairmanship of the Senate Appropriations Committee in April. The Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee makes the ultimate decision about how every federal United States dollar is spent. Alabama has never had a U.S. Senate Appropriations Chairman in our 200-year history. Shelby’s prowess at bringing home the bacon is legendary. You do not have to look very far to see the effects of Shelby’s power over his past 31 years as our U.S. Senator. There is an entire section of the University of Alabama where he placed buildings that are an integral part of the University’s academic success. All paid for with federal dollars. The state of the art biomedical research facility at UAB, all paid for with federal dollars, is there along with millions more in research grants because of Richard Shelby Huntsville and the Redstone Arsenal have been the benefactors of so much largesse from Shelby’s direct influence that it is not possible in the space of this column to enumerate the buildings and federal dollars that our crown jewel city has received over the years. Huntsville/Madison County and the entire Tennessee Valley are poised to become
L
STEVE FLOWERS Columnist the envy of the nation in economic growth over the next decade. There should be three gigantic monuments erected in Huntsville and put side by side of Werner Von Braun, John Sparkman and Richard Shelby. If truth were known, one of the reasons the Mazda/Toyota plant, with over 5,000 high paying jobs chose Huntsville was because of Richard Shelby. Along with becoming Chairman of the Appropriations Committee, he also took over the reins of the Defense Appropriations Sub-Committee. I am here to tell you that is big news for Alabama. There is no state in America that is more reliant on federal dollars for defense installations, defense research and defense related employees than the good old Heart of Dixie. What facilities do you think will be protected and which bases will be guarded? The Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Maxwell/Gunter in Montgomery and Ft. Rucker in the Wiregrass will be first in line when it comes to federal defense spending. More importantly, those major economic engines of our state just received a gigantic umbrella protection policy from any military defense cutbacks. Senator Shelby has chaired several extremely important U.S. Senate committees over his three decades as our senator, including Intelligence, Banking
and Rules. However, Appropriations is the crªmede la crªme of committees. Why? Because it controls the gold. “Those who have the gold make the rules.” Senator Shelby has brought home a lot of bacon to our state over the years, more than any U.S. Senator in Alabama history. However, you ain’t seen nothing yet. They have just given our senior U.S. Senator the key to the vault to the U.S. Treasury and he knows how to use it. And, guess what? He is just in his second year of his sixth six-year term. He is in the best health of any 84-year-old I have ever seen. He has the soundness of mind and the physical stamina of a 60-year-old and he works out daily. The governor’s race is getting down to the proverbial lick log. It looks as though Kay Ivey is in the catbird’s seat to win a full term of her own. There is no reason to fret over her perceived aging, looks can be deceiving. Besides when you have Richard Shelby as a senior U.S. Senator we really do not even need a governor. Twinkle Cavanaugh is poised to win the Lt. Governor’s race. When the dust settles in November my prediction is that we will have a female governor and a female Lt. Governor, but more importantly we will have Richard Shelby as our senior U.S. Senator for at least four more years. See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

A whirlwind trip to Indy
ast weekend, I had to fly to Indianapolis for a gig. Just getting there was an adventure in itself. I contemplated asking Lucy to drive me to the airport, but I recalled how just a few days earlier, she’d stressed out in Dadeville traffic. For those of you not in the know, I think Dadeville has two traffic lights and two caution lights but has twice as many cars. In her defense, there were also some cones in the road. Having her drive me to Atlanta was not an option. I decided to take the airport shuttle. I didn’t want Lucy to have to get up early with the baby, so I drove the car to the pick-up point. My plan was to take my keys with me and to leave her keys under the seat, so she could come and get the unlocked car later. As I walked away from the car, I instinctively pressed the lock button on the key fob. It shouldn’t have locked with the key inside the vehicle, but ding dong the switch was dead. I had this fear before it was confirmed. It wasn’t a huge deal. I got to the airport and saw that my flight was delayed. The first leg of my trip was to take me to Orlando, and after a short layover, on to Indy. I feared my layover was too short, thus causing me to miss my connecting flight. The lady at the service desk was confident that I’d be able to catch my flight. She was kind to me, and I was kind to her. As I began to walk off, she asked if I’d checked any luggage. I had not. She then smiled and said she could put me on an earlier, direct flight to Indianapolis. Go Colts! She was there for me, but there was one catch. I was one of the last to board and had to check my bag at the gate. I also had to sit in a middle
JODY FULLER Columnist seat and eat my peanuts like Tyrannosaurus Rex. The flight was less than 90 minutes, so it wasn’t too bad. T-Rex gotta do what T-Rex gotta do. After waiting for what seemed like an eternity—six minutes—on my luggage, I met Brad, my point of contact, outside at the curb. Brad is a veteran with a big ole burly beard. My gig was for Camp Camby, which is a 53-acre transitional housing and job training community offering veterans and families in need a hand up instead of a hand out. The facility and grounds itself was originally a Church of the Nazarene camp. The camp is complete with food, sanitation, clothing pantries, community meals, safe housing, activities, on-site church, and pain management clinic. The development of the camp is in its early stages, but there are veterans and families already living and training there. The all-day event on Saturday was meant to bring awareness to its mission, and, of course, to raise funds to support its mission. There was food and face-painting, pony rides and bouncy houses, and so much more. The day culminated with the show in which I was honored to be a part of. The first speaker was a retired Sergeant Major from the United States Marine Corps. He is also a spokesman for the Wounded Warrior Project. The closing act was Linkin’ Bridge, past finalists from America’s Got Talent. They were amazing.
Somewhere sandwiched in between the two was me, the comedian, representing The GIs of Comedy. The Sergeant Major’s speech was on point but pretty deep. I was able to come right in and lift the crowd back up. When I left the stage, Gene, the man in charge and a retired Navy commander, hugged me and said, “That was pretty amazing.” He was there for me. Burly Brad was disappointed in the evening due to the smaller than expected turnout. They expected many more people, but I kept trying to tell him that Rome was not built in a day. I told him not to be discouraged by those who weren’t there but to be encouraged by those who were there. This was the first one, so next year’s event will be bigger and better in every way. I appreciated Brad’s passion. When I got back to Atlanta, I was supposed to catch my shuttle back to Opelika. That was the plan. When I finally found the bus, it was full. He was not there for me, but the next bus was. I was proud to be a part of such an awesome weekend. There’s nothing better than helping out my fellow veterans. I made some great friends and even met a guy from Kansas City whose parents once lived in Opelika. After arriving back in town, Lucy and Abigail were there for me. It was good being home. It always is. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer. He can be reached at jody@jodyfuller.com.

H
appy Birthday to Glenda Masters of Jackson Gap. She celebrates today, May 30. It is great to live in the best country of the world. It is sad that some of the most richly paid football players feel they must disrespect this country for public television during our anthem. They could always leave if they feel so mistreated. Instead they protest to the fans of football. This brings to mind all the so-called stars who promised to leave the United States when President Trump was elected but didn’t. I have said many times I am proud to live in the South, and still happy to have grown up happily in England. Friday, we dodged showers, left the dogs in the house and ventured out for lunch at San Marcos in Wetumpka and the place was hopping. Many must have started the holiday fun extra early. We got our favorite server Miguel, who is always ‘en pointe,’ and sharing his smile. San Marcos is a special place, almost a tropical fantasy with beautiful large potted plants in the vestibule and large calming fountain in the main

ROSIE MORGAN Columnist dining area. Good background music, with excellent service and delicious food. Something for everyone. In light of Memorial Day, I’d like to mention Sir Nicholas Winton, a British man, who during World War II managed to rescue 669 children destined for death camps of the Nazis. Sir Winton arranged for them to have homes and smuggled them to Great Britain. What a brave man, working hard and continuously in danger to save so many children. He is a real hero. Sadly, in just the past century, so many wars, WWI And WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Irish Republic, the Middle East, Grenada, Israel-Palestine, so many rebellions, so much fighting and unrest. Still the Middle East, which has been warring since Jesus’ time, has no peace. On the polished black wall of the Vietnam Memorial, there are 58,267 names engraved. The figures are even more staggering when they are broken down by age. I always think of my father as I remember soldiers then and now. Alfred de Broise, his birthday June 4th. If he lived, he would be 95 now, enlisted with the British Army in Singapore. Then two weeks later was taken by the Japanese and stayed a POW, working on the Burmese Railway, until Liberation. It hurts my heart even today, to think of the abusive treatment
so many suffered for years. Hoping everyone enjoyed the Memorial Day holiday with friends and families, enjoying good food and company. Many organizations were selling cooked Boston butts and slabs of ribs including Equality Volunteer Fire Department. So, if you don’t like to cook on the grill, there’s good food somewhere. Luckily Ron loves grilling and we enjoyed ribs with his best homemade sauce. It was so peaceful here in the woods of Nixburg. I did have a piece of surprising news on Saturday in a phone call from Pat Garnett at the airport to say that she was flying to London to spend three weeks with her friend Sylvia who lives there in Kent. I met Sylvia, a lovely lady when Pat and I went in 2014. But I must say, I was envious of Pat zipping across the ocean to my original homeland. First Saturday this weekend the Equality Volunteer Fire Department will have hamburger/hot-dog lunch for sale. Just $6 per plate. Memory is the land of enchantment which belongs to you forever. Those are my memories of happy childhood and home. Saluting all the brave men and women, volunteering to fight for us to have freedom. Until next week, keep smiling. Rosie Morgan is a community columnist for the Outlook. She is a resident of Nixburg and writes about the events and people of the Equality and Nixburg areas.

AU baseball hits the road for NCAA Regional
T
he Auburn Tigers (39-21) will be heading to Raleigh, North Carolina this week as the No. 2 seed in an NCAA Regional hosted by No. 1-seeded North Carolina State. The Tigers were obviously regarded as the strongest 2-seed in the entire field because NC State was designated as the No. 16 and last (or lowest) national seed. On paper, that clearly benefits Auburn, but the Wolfpack (40-17) had an outstanding season this year and were 27-9 at home. This is the 21st regional appearance in AU baseball history and the second straight appearance under the leadership of Butch Thompson. In fact, Thompson is the first Tiger coach to make back-to-back playoff appearances since Steve Renfroe in 2002 and 2003. Auburn will open play against the No. 3 seed Northeastern Huskies (36-19) at 1 p.m. Friday at Doak Field. Northeastern hails from the Colonial Athletic Association and is already familiar with the Tigers, as the teams played a three-game series in Plainsman Park earlier this year. The Huskies lost the first two games getting no-hit by Casey Mize in the opener. However, Northeastern did salvage the final game of the series with a 2-1 victory over the Tigers. If the old saying is true that familiarity breeds contempt, these two opponents aren’t likely to have much love lost between them. NC State will open play against the No. 4 seed Army Black Knights (36-22) from the Patriot League at 6 p.m. Friday night. Army was 3-4 against teams in the NCAA Tournament. Auburn enters postseason play averaging .278 (eighth best in SEC) as a team with 66 home runs (sixth in SEC) and 420 runs scored (second in SEC). The Tigers ace, Mize, was brilliant for most of the season but faltered late in the year losing his last three starts. Obviously, he will need to rediscover his confidence and his A-game pitches if Auburn has any chance to make a Super Regional. North Carolina State enters postseason play hitting .288 as a team with 81 home runs and 391 runs scored. Brian Brown leads a very deep Wolfpack pitching staff with a record of 6-2 in 15 starts and an ERA of 2.71. Northeastern enters the tournament hitting .274 as a team with 36 homers and 334 runs scored. Sean Mellen leads the Huskies on the mound with a sterling record of 10-3 and an ERA of 2.28. The lowest of the bunch, Army has a team batting average of just .267 with nine home runs and 324 runs scored. Daniel Burggraaf, Matt Ball and Tyler Giovinco have combined for 37 starts with a combined record of 22-9 and an ERA of 3.02. The Black Knights’ competition wasn’t exactly comparable to SEC level, but that’s still pretty impressive. Auburn put itself in great position and was one pitch away from making a Super Regional last season. Cole Lipscomb had to relieve Davis Daniel in the second inning and pitched brilliantly for the next 7 2/3 innings. The Tigers were up 7-6 on Florida State in Tallahassee with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and two strikes on the batter. He eventually worked a walk. Lipscomb quickly got two strikes on the next batter, but he tripled home a run and tied the game. Auburn lost 8-7 in 10 innings. They lost again to the Seminoles 6-0 the following day. If I remember it that vividly, I’m certain most of the guys in the Auburn dugout remember it as well. Andy Graham is a regular columnist for The Outlook.

Games to Watch
BRHS has pair of big games early Editor’s Note: Throughout the summer, The Outlook will be exploring the top three games to watch for each area football team, followed by a series about the top players to watch in the area. By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Benjamin Russell’s football team will have a lot of questions to start the season. Under the direction of a new head coach, the Wildcats will be looking to usher in a new era under Kevin Smith. But losing the stability of a coach who was there for nearly a decade always leaves some question marks. That’s a big reason why it’ll be interesting to see how BRHS kicks off this season.
Week Zero: Beauregard Hornets
Luckily for the Wildcat faithful, they won’t have to wait long to see their team in action. Benjamin Russell hosts its first game of the season — and it’s coming earlier than usual. The Wildcats will be visited by Beauregard on Aug. 24, and it’ll be the first chance for the school and the community to get a taste of what the Wildcats will be like this year. Under Danny Horn, Benjamin Russell became known for its ground-andpound, run-first style of offense, but under Smith, things could open up a little bit for the Wildcats. Returning quarterback Landon Cotney will be evaluated throughout the summer as well as key returning receivers, Nick McGhee and Za Stowes, to see just how much the Wildcats will be able to send it through the air. Beauregard will be a tough opponent to start the season. The Hornets defeated BRHS, 27-7, in last year’s regular season finale, but they also graduated the likes of Mississippi State commit LaDamian Webb, who blasted the Wildcats for 240 yards last season. Beauregard will be a good test for a defense
that lost a slew of key players. The Wildcats have never beaten Beauregard in four matchups.
Week One: Clay Central
This is an obvious game to watch and for one simple reason: Horn. Horn departed the Wildcats earlier this year to return home to Clay Central. He coached at Clay County for years, and that’s where he made a name for himself. This year, the Wildcats will be looking to take down their old coach. BRHS is 3-1 against Clay Central and defeated the Volunteers, 28-14 last year. One big advantage Benjamin Russell will have going into this game is it’ll be its second of the year, while this game will serve as Clay Central’s season opener. Like Beauregard, the Volunteers graduated a solid corps of players, including top running back Camerun Peoples and quarterback Ben Street.
Week Seven: Opelika Bulldogs
Always a big game for Benjamin Russell, the Wildcats take on their rival Opelika in Week 7 in what turned out to be an essentially important game for both teams last year in the hunt for the region title. Although this

year’s region is a bit tougher, this should still have big implications. Like BRHS, the Bulldogs will be working under a new head coach this year as Eric Speakman has taken over for Caleb Ross, who lasted just a year at the Opelika helm. The Bulldogs had a strong season last year, going 9-4 and making it to the third round of the Class 6A playoffs. But one of their hiccups along the way was
a 19-14 loss to Benjamin Russell that was easily the Wildcats’ best defensive performance of the year. It could’ve been a shutout if not for two late scores in the final three minutes of the game. While it’ll be difficult for the Wildcats to match last year’s defensive prowess, this’ll be a good test of how this year’s BRHS squad compares to that of a year ago.
