Gambling placed in local law enforcement’s hands By Kevin Taylor Copy Editor

Those wanting to see the doors reopen at VictoryLand may see that day sooner than later. Gov. Robert Bentley allowed that by issuing an executive order Thursday morning to repeal the order he issued in 2011 giving state Attorney General Luther Strange primary responsibility to enforce the state’s anti-gambling laws. Those powers have been stripped from Strange and put in the hands of local district attorneys and sheriffs by Bentley’s order. “Enforcement of Alabama’s criminal laws most properly lies with the elected

sheriffs and district attorneys of each county and is to be guided by their respective interpretation of the laws of the state,” the order read. While it looks like a win for Milton McGregor, owner of VictoryLand, he said he sees it as a win for those who were put out of jobs when the Shorter business was closed down January 2010. “Bentley’s actions today will help put thousands of Alabamians back to work,” McGregor said in a statement released Thursday. “Our citizens want to work and provide for their families. Our facility will provide jobs for not only Macon County, but hundreds of people in each surrounding county. We look forward to

getting our doors open, providing quality entertainment, hiring people and finally being able to compete on a level playing field.” VictoryLand employed 2,300 people when it was in full operation. Macon County Probate Judge Al Menefee said he was “excited” about the governor’s action. “We’ve got an opportunity to put people back to work,” he said. Since Bentley signed the executive order to disband former Gov. Bob Riley’s anti-gambling task force and give full policing power to Strange, Bentley said more than $9 million of the state’s money had been spent to enforce the anti-gam-

bling laws. While the residents of Macon County, who voted in favor of a state constitutional amendment to allow for electronic bingo, may be happy to see VictoryLand’s doors come closer to reopening, the order may also vindicate Circuit Judge Tom Young’s order to keep the doors open when former Gov. Riley ordered them closed. “There are still some issues out there, but now the local district attorneys, sheriffs and other law enforcement are making the local decisions, not the state,” Young said. Bentley’s order comes on the heels of

BRHS officials, businessmen discuss future Group exchanges ideas about preparing students for workforce

By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

About 30-35 local business and industry representatives sat in on classes and met with principal Anthony Wilkinson Wednesday morning in an effort to strengthen partnerships between Benjamin Russell High School, its students and the local business community. “We wanted to hear from our business community about what we could do to better prepare our students for the workplace,” said Wilkinson. “At the same time, we wanted to let them know about some things we’re already doing and create with them some partnerships that would help both them and our students.” Wilkinson said he wanted the businesses to see what Benjamin Russell is doing in the classroom instructionally, but also see that they were cultivating students’ soft skills and teaching them in project-based scenarios. He said the business representatives seemed impressed with what’s happening at BRHS. “I think they could see that we’re wanting to plan for their needs three, five, 10 years down the line,” Wilkinson said. “They were able to see that we’re providing our kids with the skills that entry-level people need, the essential soft skills like attendance, work ethic, social media and cell phone usage, dress and communication. But we also wanted to know from them what we were lacking.” See MEETING, Page 3

Home fire sparks at original Russell Cabins By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Firefighters from Alexander City Fire and Rescue, Windermere Volunteer Fire Department, Willow Point and Kowaliga Volunteer Fire Department responded to a home fire on Tucker Road. Officials say a neighbor and resident likely saved the structure from total loss.

A home that was one of the original Russell Cabins was heavily damaged by a Thursday morning fire, but officials say it’s a wonder that the structure wasn’t totally destroyed. Firefighters from Alexander City Fire and Rescue, Windermere, Willow Point and Kowaliga volunteer fire departments and Russell Lands Security all responded to the residential fire on Tucker Road Thursday morning. The home was roughly 15 miles from See FIRE, Page 3

Several people in the Tallapoosa County area have recently received calls claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service in what appears to be some type of scam. Dennis Catrett of Alexander City said that he received a call from a number with a Washington, D.C., area code with a recording saying, “This call is officially a final notice from IRS, Internal Revenue Services (sic). The reason for this call is to inform you that IRS is filing lawsuit against you. To get more information about this case file, please call immediately on our department number (usually the number from which the call is made). I repeat (repeats number).” Catrett called back and there was no answer at the number. “I called my attorney at Dunlop & Hare and he said that they had heard from several people about the same kind of call,” Catrett said. “He said that the IRS normally contacts you by mail first and that he wouldn’t worry about it and would not call the number See SCAM, Page 3

She must have a very understanding employer to have tolerated it, because that kind of disruption has been known to cost people their jobs. And when your dad shows up at your home unannounced, speak up. Tell him you and your husband don’t like it. Make clear that his nasty comments about your mother aren’t welcome, and neither will he be, unless he calls first to see if a visit is all right with everyone.

Information

DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-yearold woman. A few months ago, my boyfriend (my very first boyfriend) committed suicide. I feel absolutely destroyed. The problem is, my family doesn’t regard my feelings of grief seriously because our relationship was started and maintained online. We lived several states apart, and while we never met in person, we talked every night and videochatted many, many times. My feelings for him were real. I broke down when I heard the news, and I still hurt, but my family thinks I’m overreacting. They can’t understand how a relationship with someone online can be serious. How can I make them recognize how much pain I’m in? The fact they refuse to recognize this loss hurts me so much more. What do I do? -- ALL ALONE IN LOUISIANA DEAR ALL ALONE: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of someone you cared about so deeply. That your

The price per ticket is $50, a portion of which will go to the LMAUW general campaign fund. Sharon Fuller, LMAUW executive director and DACC board member, said that Denim and Diamonds was a result of the chamber’s desire to host an evening event from which a portion of the proceeds would go toward a charitable cause. “You’ll see long dresses. You’ll see formals. You’ll see guys in blue jeans,” said Fuller She said that they wanted to have something formal and entertaining. But Fuller said that they wanted the money to be able to help someone. According to Fuller, the proceeds will be

directed toward the various local charities that operate in the area and receive funding from the LMAUW. “We’ve gotten several thousand dollars from the event,” said Fuller. “It really is amazing,” said Fuller. Alexander City and Dadeville area businesses will provide the items for the silent auction that will include, among other things, a Yeti cooler, and a golf package from Russell Lands, along with several gift baskets and certificates. The music, which the DACC said would be great to dance to, will be provided by Lisa and the E-Lusion. According to Andrews, tickets can be purchased at the Lake Martin Area United Way, the Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce, the Lake Martin Event Center at the Rodeo Club and also Lakeside Mercantile.

of commitment to this process, mentioning Wellington, AmTech, Aprinta and S and L. Wilkinson said there were a few skills the businesses, particularly the manufacturers, asked about that were new to his thinking. “They mentioned some minor stuff like sharing responsibility with co-workers and cleaning up your work station, things like that,” Wilkinson said. “Things you wouldn’t often think about, but now we will.” All in all, Wilkinson said he thought the meeting validated much of what is happening at Benjamin Russell with regard to entry-level job preparation. “Absolutely they validated what we’ve been doing,” Wilkinson said. “No doubt. We’ve done a good job of identifying the obstacles. They want the things we’ve been talking about.” Wilkinson said each of the attendees provided him with written feedback, which will let him learn more about how the representatives felt after the meeting. “I’ll go through that and we’ll look at things again,” Wilkinson said. “What I like to tell the businesses is that I have 1,000 students walking my halls every day and those students are going to be their future workforce. The people that met with us here today obviously know that.”

Wilkinson said the group talked about a four-point process through which the school and local businesses could help each other. • Exposure: “We want to partner with them so that they will work with us as advisors, provide us with speakers and in other ways where their businesses gain exposure to our students,” Wilkinson said. • Experience: “We’re asking our local businesses to see if they can work out a flexible schedule where we can send them students who can do some job-shadowing with them. That way, the student who may be considering something like what the partner business does can make an informed decisions as to whether it’s something he or she likes or doesn’t like,” Wilkinson said. “Meanwhile, the business gets a little extra help in their workplace.” • Investment: “That’s the next step,” Wilkinson said. “We’re asking them to hire some our students through co-ops.” • Vested: “This is the top level of commitment,” Wilkinson said. “This is where the student is provided a scholarship by the business or industry in exchange for committing to work for that business for a given number of years. It’s a win-win for both the student and the business. That’s what I call the holy grail.” Wilkinson said there are already local businesses who are showing certain levels

Executive order right thing for state

I

t’s a good day in Alabama. Gov. Robert Bentley, through his issuance Thursday morning of Executive Order No. 13, has finally taken the right step by turning enforcement of the gambling laws over to local law enforcement. One immediate effect of the order would seem to be the imminent reopening of Macon County’s VictoryLand, which was authorized for electronic bingo by local voters and has almost unanimous support of local officials, including law enforcement. At its peak, VictoryLand employed approximately 2,300 citizens of Macon and surrounding counties, including Tallapoosa. That included the casino and just one tower of the proposed two-tower hotel. Another less tangible effect of Executive Order No. 13 is the governor’s public acknowledgement of the state’s waste of $9 million – perhaps a conservative figure – on its enforcement of antigambling laws. This figure is particularly appalling when we consider that the great majority of those taxpayer dollars were spent to close the doors of a single facility – VictoryLand – by a governor – Bob Riley – who appeared to have a vendetta against the facility and its owner, Milton McGregor. With the governor’s acknowledgement this morning of the state’s financial waste, we’re not likely to see such a misuse of resources again in the future. In that case, the whole state wins. All in all, we believe that the governor’s executive order is a good thing and will give true local control – as Macon County believed it had and should have had – over gambling laws in the state. No longer will we see tractor-trailers rented with taxpayer money staged to storm a business that, under local and state law, is legal. From our perspective, it’s been a good day for Gov. Bentley, too.

The

A time to remember America’s veterans

E

ach year on Nov. 11th, we honor those brave men and women who have served our country in uniform and those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy today. As many of you across East Alabama may know, I have a veterans Advisory Council that includes veterans from each of the 13 counties that make up the Third District. These council meetings allow me the opportunity to hear directly what is on the minds of our veterans and take their concerns back to Washington. This year our meeting is scheduled during the week of Veterans Day and will include a very special guest, Mr. Bennie Adkins of Opelika. Mr. Adkins was awarded the Medal of Honor in September of 2014 for his acts of bravery on the battlefield during Vietnam. Mr. Adkins, like all of our veterans, is a true American hero and we look forward to having him at our meeting.

MIKE ROGERS Guest Columnist

Over the past couple of years, most folks may have seen on the news the different scandals that have occurred within our VA System, including the Central Alabama Veterans Healthcare System (CAVHS) in Montgomery. I think we all can agree our Veterans deserve the best care we can offer them. It is the least we can do to thank them for their selfless service. One of the changes implemented was the Veterans Choice Program that allows veterans to get health care from non-VA doctors. Unfortunately some of our veterans still haven’t been able to get the help they need. That is why I’ve joined Congressman Byrne in cosponsoring H.R. 1096, which would make the choice

program work better by changing the criteria to closest medical service instead of medical facility. While this is just one fix to one issue it is an example of what we as a Congress have to continue to do to make sure we keep the Veteran’s Administration accountable and responsive to the needs of our veterans. In addition, my office always stands ready to assist any veteran from the Third District when it comes to dealing with the VA. Not just on Veterans Day, but every day, I encourage all of us across East Alabama to remember the men and women in uniform that have lost their lives and to keep those still serving and their families in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless America. Rep. Mike Rogers represents Alabama’s Third Congressional District. He can be reached at 202-2253261.

Our

Mission Teacher of the Year: Bureacracy, absurdity, perverse policy

A

nn Marie Corgill is, by all accounts and by almost any definition, a highly qualified teacher. It is regrettable that the modifier "almost" is necessary in that sentence, but its inclusion is instructive. From it, the people of Alabama can learn a lot about what ails their system of education. More on Ms. Corgill's story in a moment, but the Associated Press headline provides a précis: "Alabama's Teacher of the Year Told She's Unqualified, Resigns." Whether the title of "Teacher of the Year" is borne by a worthy titleholder every year in Alabama is unknown, but it certainly is in the case of Ann Marie Corgill, the reigning Alabama Teacher of the Year. This is a woman who has practiced the art of teaching for over two decades; who has been called upon to teach other teachers about teaching; who has written a book about teaching. She went on to become a finalist--one of only four--for National Teacher of the Year, regarded as the teaching profession's highest honor. But we know she is a great teacher not through her résumé but through her work. Ellen Anderson, her student: "Ms. Corgill is the best teacher I have ever had. She has taught us more in one year than all my other years combined. She made us feel important, empowered, and loved. . . . She is very special." Kathy Snyder, her fellow teacher: "Ann Marie Corgill is an exemplary teacher . . . a teacher who represents the essence of our profession." Betsy Bell, her principal: "Ann Marie believes that we can build a better world one child at a time. She is doing precisely that!" In short, Ann Marie Corgill's bona fides are inarguable--or so one would

ANDREW YERBEY Guest Columnist

think. But modern bureaucrats do not think. When they were alerted this past week that Ms. Corgill lacked a certain certification, which she never had and never needed, she was deemed not a "highly qualified teacher." Ms. Corgill's attempts to make sense of her Kafkaesque situation proved futile, met as they were by--to borrow her apt description--"a wall of bureaucracy." At length, she tendered her resignation, writing regretfully: "After 21 years of teaching in grades 1-6, I have no answers as to why this is a problem now, so instead of paying more fees, taking more tests, and proving once again that I am qualified to teach, I am resigning." It has been well established, by over forty years of research, that the characteristics commonly found on a teacher's résumé--such as education, certifications, and experience beyond the first few years in the classroom-have essentially no effect on a teacher's quality. That is, how much a teacher contributes to the learning of his or her students has nothing to do with whether the teacher has a baccalaureate or doctorate, five years of experience or fifteen; and certifications certify nothing with regard to actual teaching. Yet it is precisely, perversely, those résumé characteristics that govern Alabama's approach to its teachers. In Alabama, a person must minimally have a baccalaureate and a certification to be hired as a public-school teacher, and then is automatically given pay raises for having or acquiring advanced

degrees and more experience. All of this is decided without inquiry into the quality of anything : not of the universities the teacher attended (the best equals the worst); not of the degrees awarded to, or the academic performance of, the teacher (majoring in education and graduating with a 2.5 grade point average equals majoring in math and graduating with a 4.0 grade point average); and, most importantly and illogically, not of the person's ability to actually teach. We should make it easier– not harder–for people to become teachers, and harder– not easier–for bad teachers to remain teachers. As it stands, our system deters people who would have been great teachers from entering the profession, including both college students and mid-career professionals, and abuses great teachers already in the profession, including Ms. Corgill. Worst of all, our system ignores the best interests of our schoolchildren, especially those most vulnerable. At the beginning of the school year, Ann Marie Corgill had moved from Cherokee Bend Elementary School in the city of Mountain Brook to Oliver Elementary School in the city of Birmingham. She was now using her talents to teach children who are among the most disadvantaged, economically and educationally. Not anymore. The children who just lost perhaps their last best hope at a good education will not, it seems certain, look back and take solace that a bureaucrat protected them from being taught by an "unqualified" teacher like Ms. Corgill.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Pace yourself, and handle as much as you can. You could wake up to some intense emotions. Take a walk, preferably by a body of water, in order to clear your head. Once you relax, you can accomplish what you want to. Tonight: Don’t push yourself too hard! TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You still might be in dream land as you get your morning started. A friend is likely to need your time; it could be as simple as listening to his or her problem. You naturally seem to Änd solutions to emotional conÅicts. Tonight: Let your imagination rock and roll. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You could be in a situation that is creating a lot of tension -- most likely because you feel obligated. Share your feelings with a trusted friend. You might be surprised by this person’s reaction and suggestion. Ultimately, the decision is yours. Tonight: At home. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Your feelings could be all over the place. You might be having a difÄcult time reading someone else. Let this go for now, and don’t worry so much. You are far from being stuck. An older person dashes in and out of your day. Tonight: Catch up on a loved one’s news. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Use caution with any money matters. You might not be the one who is confused, but having any party involved feel unclear about what is going on is a recipe for disaster. You are best off postponing conversations for a few days. Tonight: Treat a pal to TGIF. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH Step out of your old image and into your new, more conÄdent one. Not every moment will be perfect, but you certainly won’t allow a bad situation to get the best of you. A loved one might have a lot to share. Tonight: Invite a special person to join you at a favorite haunt.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Step back graciously. This position of lesser importance will give you more freedom to do what you want. You could join a favorite person and christen the weekend early. You might not want to make public knowledge of what you are up to, though. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Zero in on your priorities, even if you’re surrounded by several people. You must be carrying a lucky rabbit’s foot, as you seem to get exactly what you want. Sometimes you Änd that even when are on an obscure path, you still reach your goals. Tonight: With friends. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You suddenly might be stopped in your tracks by a request from a boss, higher-up or older relative. Use your instincts when dealing with this person. Confusion seems to surround your home or a family member. Tonight: Count on being available and needed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Keep your eyes open, and look for the most universal interpretations of what is going on around you. Detach in your preferred method, and it will allow your understanding and empathy to evolve. Consider a last-minute getaway. Tonight: Your call, but opt for something different. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHHH A partner or an associate will make a request. You might not have planned to honor it, but you will indulge this person anyway. Be as clear as you can be about the Änancial implications involved. Help a friend follow this same path. Tonight: With a favorite person. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH What you feel you’d like to do might be very different from what is happening. Try to detach in order to complete your plans. Use caution with handling your Änances, as you could make a simple mistake, like miscounting your change. Tonight: Make it memorable.

Wildcats dominate Spartans By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The Benjamin Russell Wildcats opened the Class 6A State Playoffs by making a statement, cruising to a dominant 41-10 win over the Saraland Spartans on Thursday at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. Benjamin Russell (10-1) won the battle up front over Saraland (8-3), as the Wildcats rolled up 393 yards rushing on the Spartans in a game between the two teams that finished No. 6 and No. 5 respectively in the final Class 6A state rankings. BRHS running back NeColby Maxwell had 239 yards rushing on 29 carries to go along with his two touchdowns. BRHS quarterback Tyre Gray rushed for 121 yards on 12 carries to go along with his three scores. Gray threw an interception to Saraland’s Justin Dunnam on the Wildcats’ only pass of the game. “I thought we dominated on the offensive and defensive lines. If you dominate the line of scrimmage, you’re probably going to win,” said Benjamin Russell Coach Danny Horn. “It’s a great win for us because we’ve been getting the short end of the deal playing them Mobile schools. Saraland’s got a great team, and I thought we came out and played great. The coaches worked really hard on getting the team prepared. I’m proud of the players because we played hard and good things happen when you do the right thing.” Midway through the first quarter, Benjamin Russell cornerback Timmy Lawson picked off the Jack West pass at the Spartans’ 16-yard line. Two plays later, Maxwell ran for a 9-yard touchdown, with the Sean Rape extra point giving the Wildcats a 7-0

lead with 5:20 left in the first. Benjamin Russell added to its lead early in the second, capping off a 10-play, 83-yard drive with a 6-yard touchdown run by Gray to extend it to a 14-0 lead with 11:27 left in the first half. A failed fake punt by the Spartans set Benjamin Russell up at the Saraland 39-yard line. Gray finished off the short drive with a 12-yard touchdown run that made it 21-0 for the Wildcats with 5:44 remaining in the second. Saraland’s Justin Harper hit a 29-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to send the game into halftime with a score of 21-3 Benjamin Russell only needed two plays to add to its lead, as Gray scored on a 48-yard run on a read option keep straight up the gut to make it 28-3 with 11:15 left in the third. Two drives later, Maxwell scored on a 31-yard run to extend the lead to 35-3 with six minutes left in the third. Benjamin Russell’s final score of the game was a 2-yard run up the middle by JaKoby Lawson with four minutes left in the fourth. Saraland running back Sean Long scored on a 7-yard run with 52 seconds left in the game, as Harper added the extra point. West was 13-of-21 passing for 141 yards. Saraland’s Velus Jones had 79 yards receiving on seven catches. Jones also rushed for 61 yards on five carries. Long added 67 yards rushing on 18 carries to go along with his one score. The Spartans had 247 yards of total offense on the night. Benjamin Russell advances to round two of the Class 6A playoffs and will travel to McCalla next week to play McAdory, which defeated Wetumpka 35-3 on Thursday night.

Jackson 35, Tallassee 7

Aggies roll over Tigers in Class 5A playoff opener By Rick Couch The South Alabamian

JACKSON – Jackson High School got off to a fast start and finished strong in its 35-7 first round Class 5A win against visiting Tallassee. The Aggies rode the arm and the legs of quarterback Demarcus Williams, who turned in another outstanding performance. It was a tough way for an up and down season to end for Tallassee. The Tigers had made the playoffs with a 5-5 record, but the loss ends the year with a 5-6 mark. Jackson Head Coach Danny Powell said the early fireworks helped the Aggies establish themselves immediately on both sides of the ball. “We had some big plays early,” he said. “It was a pretty physical football game, and they didn’t do a bad job up front. Demarcus had a great game, and the defense played a good game.” Tallassee gave Jackson a short field to open the game when the Tigers attempted an onside kick. Kameron Rotch fell on the kick to set up a three-play, 54-yard scoring drive. Williams, under pressure from the Tigers’ defense, twisted and turned through the Tallassee defense for 39 yards and the score. Miller McHargue added the extra point to give Jackson a 7-0 lead with 10:59 remaining in the opening quarter. On Jackson’s next possession, Williams had a chance to show off his arm with a 53-yard scoring strike to Tyler Jackson on first down. The extra point was again good, giving Jackson a 14-0 lead with 9:15 left in the opening quarter. From there, both offenses fell silent for a while. Tallassee rolled off a nine-play drive that took them into Jackson territory and included a fourth-and-1 conversion from Tevin Brooks at the Aggies’ 34-yard line, but the run eventually stalled. After turning the Tigers away at the Jackson 25-yard line, the Aggies offense began to move again in the second quarter. Williams connected with Ken Handy to the 26-yard line and Cooper Christian hit Williams on a fourth-and-22 play to put the ball at the 2-yard line. Williams slashed through the Tallassee defense on the very next play to increase the lead to 20-0. McHargue’s extra point gave the Aggies a 21-0 advantage with 2:03 remaining in the half. Midway through the third quarter the Aggies added to the lead again. Michael Phillips broke free for a 52-yard touchdown to make the score 28-0 with 7:18 on the clock after the McHargue kick. The Aggies final score came on a 44-yard run from Williams to cap the scoring at 35 with 5:13 left in the game.

Tallassee tight end Jeremy Hoah (42) goes up for a catch as Jackson’s Keyshaun Parker defends. Tallassee ended it’s season at 5-6 after the road loss Thursday night.

The Tigers did not go home empty handed. Tallassee was able to grind out a 13-play, 77-yard drive that ended with Brooks finding the end zone on a 2-yard score. Nolen Shipman added the extra point to make it a 35-7 game with 11:03

remaining. The score held for the remainder of the game. Jackson, 11-0, moved on to face the winner of the Calera-Eufaula game. Powell said the Thursday night matchup with Tallassee will give his staff an

extra day to prepare. Most importantly, he said, it will give his players another day to heal. “It’ll give us an extra day of rest,” he said. “We’ve got a couple of guys that are beat up. We don’t think it’s anything serious, but they’ll get some extra rest.”

McAdory tandem too much for Indians By Cory Diaz The Wetumpka Herald

McAdory scored 35 unanswered points en route to stinging Wetumpka, 35-3, in their Class 6A first round playoff game at

McAdory Stadium Thursday night. The No. 7-ranked Yellow Jackets (101) proved too strong led by senior quarterback Jordan Jones and senior tailback Shaquil Terry, who combined for 351 yards and all five touchdowns, against

the young Indians (4-7). “When it’s a playoff game, and you’re hosting it in familiar surroundings, and you’re able to get going quick in the game and that just makes you feel more comfortable and confident,” Tribe head

coach Tim Perry said of McAdory. “We knew on film, that this was arguably the best team that we’ve played all year, maybe with the exception of Park Crossing. See INDIANS • Page 6

Wetumpka sophomore quarterback DeAndre Ezell avoids a tackle.

Indians Continued from Page 5

“We knew they were very fast on both sides of the ball. We knew they had some great skill players. We knew they were very physical up front. We knew their defense was fast, got off blocks, ran real well. We knew it was going to be a challenge for us.” Wetumpka got off to an ideal start, eating up 6:29 off the clock on a 13-play, 61-yard drive. Junior running back Kavoisey Smoke chugged out 36 of those yards on the ground, and senior kicker Will Digmon capped the possession, splitting the uprights from 23 yards, giving WHS its only lead of the game. “I thought that was great, come away with points and gave us some confidence. But whenever you’re playing against a very explosive offense like theirs and you go three-and-out, you put the defense out there too long,” Perry said. “You’re just giving them more opportunities to make plays.” Less than two minutes later, Terry carried his team right back down the field, rushing the ball six times for 47 yards on the drive before Jones punched the ball in from a yard out on second-and-goal to give McAdory a lead which was never threatened. As the Jackets started scoring touchdowns, the Tribe offense sputtered, recording back-to-back three-and-outs. Terry tallied the next two scores, a 9-yard touchdown catch at the 8:38, second-quarter mark and a 17-yard rushing touchdown with 4:48 to go before halftime, extending the Yellow Jackets’ lead to 21-3. Matters worsened on the next play from scrimmage with Wetumpka senior quar-

terback Keldon Washington reaggravating a rib injury and exiting the game. The Indians’ leading rusher Smoke (10 carries, 49 yards) went down on his team’s next series with a hip injury. “I’m very proud of our team and our coaching staff. We had one senior on defense tonight,” Perry said. “Offensively, that’s where our experience was, but we had some key injuries. Our starting quarterback comes out, he’s been nursing bruised ribs from last week. Our starting tailback nursing a hip pointer, and he got that reinjured in the first series and hurt his ankle. “It was a tough situation to put sophomore quarterback (DeAndre Ezell) in. He was a little bit nervous and mishandled the ball a couple of times, but then I thought he settled down and did an admirable job. Our guys rallied around him.” Ezell finished the night going 8-for-12 for 91 yards and rushed for 16 yards. Coming out of the locker room, it took McAdory three plays to get back on the board. After a 36-yard run from Jones to open the second half, Terry finished the job scoring two plays later from 17 yards, giving the Jackets a 28-3 advantage. Ezell guided Wetumpka down the field the ensuing possession, but WHS stalled at the McAdory 23-yard line. Yellow Jacket junior wide receiver Malcolm Askew put up the game’s final points, capping a 7-play, 77-yard drive, hauling in a 6-yard touchdown pass from Jones, pushing McAdory’s lead to 35-3. “Even though the mistakes were made, our guys gave great effort,” Perry said. “They had a lot of outstanding players that they get the ball to, and it’s tough to defend all of them.”

Edgewood 48, Wilcox Academy 6

Edgewood linebacker Demarvin Perry (33) closes in on Wilcox Academy quarterback Stone Vick (4) for a minimal gain during the first quarter Thursday night.

Edgewood cruises to easy playoff victory By Kevin Taylor The Wetumpka Herald

Edgewood quarterback Nathan Rourke attempted more passes on the sideline warming up than he did on the field of play. Only on the field, he made almost every pass count. Rourke, who currently holds the single-season Alabama Independent School Association touchdown pass mark at 60, completed 6-of-7 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns, while also scrambling for another score to lead the Wildcats (11-0) to an easy playoff victory over Wilcox Academy Thursday night. Edgewood was one of two teams in the Class AA playoff bracket to opt to play Thursday and avoid the thunderstorms which were forecast for Friday night. While the Wildcats’ offense seemed to be clicking on all cylinders rolling up 450 yards total for the game, their defense stymied Wilcox Academy.

Daniel Green looks for running room after catching a pass in the second quarter during the Class AA AISA playoffs Thursday night.

The visiting Wildcats were limited to 118 yards of total offense, which all came on the ground. Edgewood looked to pitch a shutout to extend the nation’s active high school football winning streak to 69 games, but Wilcox managed a TD with less than

seven minutes left in the game. “We challenged our first-team guys after Fort Dale scored twice on them last week,” Edgewood coach Bobby Carr said. “The perception, especially from the schools over in the west side of the state, is that we are not a very physical

team. At the end of the night we wanted Wilcox to know we were the most physical team.” Edgewood took an early 7-0 lead with 9:49 left in the opening quarter when it blocked a Wilcox punt. Landon Pinckard scooped up the ball and rumbled 19 yards for the score. Rourke then threw three straight TD strikes of 55, 45 and 59 yards before running for another with 53 seconds left in the first quarter to give the Wildcats a comfortable 34-0 lead. After Wilcox opted to close the game with a running clock, Carr began to make wholesale substitutions. Tripp Carr, who closed the night 7-of7 for 110 yards found Maurice Young for a 49-yard strike with 3:31 left before the half. David Poole closed out the scoring for Edgewood just as the third quarter ended on an 8 yard run. Edgewood will return to action next Friday to play host to the winner of the game between Clarke Prep and Northside Methodist in the Class AA semifinals.

Dadeville 54, Thomasville 53 (2 OT)

Dadeville tops Thomasville in double-overtime thriller By Mitch Sneed and Cliff Williams The Outlook

THOMASVILLE – Dadeville did the unthinkable Thursday night, traveling three hours and took a thrilling double-overtime win over Thomasville, even after falling behind early. Dadeville beat Thomasville 54-53 on a gutsy, scrambling, across-thebody, desperation heave by quarterback Margarius Buchanan to Tyreke Stone for the two-point conversion in the second overtime. It’s a game that Dadeville Coach Richard White said will never be forgotten in Tiger football lore. “It was just an incredible football game,” White said. “Two good football teams just kept battling back and fourth. Then when we had to have it – we made the play – Ty Stone made the catch down for the win. That was after there after Scooter (Buchanan) kept moving around with kids chasing him all over the place. Finally he threw it up there and Ty went up and made the play. Players making plays – that’s what it’s all about. “Scooter is just an incredible athlete. I tell you – if I had a Heisman Trophy, I’d give it to him right now. That’s how much this one means to me.” There is good reason to cherish this win. Dadeville was down 25-12 at the half and trailed by 15 points, 35-20, at the end of the third quarter. But the Dadeville Tigers refused to die. From there Dadeville scored three touchdowns, while holding Thomasville to just a field goal. It was that game-tying third touchdown that still has hearts beating fast. Down 38-32 with less than three minutes to play, the Tigers were facing a fourth-and-3, when Buchanan scrambled and raced for the pylon, diving into the end zone for the score.

Dadeville quarterback Margarius Buchanan dives backwards into the endzone for the tying score late during Dadeville’s thrilling, double-overtime win at Thomasville in round one of the Class 4A State Playoffs.

The Tigers rarely kick, and this time the two-point conversion attempt failed, making it 38-38 with just over a minute to play. Thomasville drove and flirted with trying a 63-yard field goal to win the game, but instead they punted and the game went to overtime. Buchanan scored on Dadeville’s first possession then hit Isaiah Hicks for the two-point conversion to give Dadeville a 46-38 lead. Thomasville answered with a touchdown and conversion to send it to a second overtime at 46-46. Thomasville got the next possession in the second overtime and scored in

just two plays. They opted to kick the extra point, putting the heat on Dadeville, leading 53-46. Dadeville took three plays, but Buchanan again rambled his way into the corner for a touchdown. The Tigers then lined up for the conversion, but were whistled for illegal procedure, making it an 8-yard attempt. Buchanan bobbled the snap and rolled right, was forced to reverse his field and retreat back to the 20. From there he flung a high-arching pass across the field and Stone out-jumped two defenders to make the catch and give Dadeville the win. “We were down, we were down and

they started dropping their heads and the next thing you know we are back in the game and found a way to get a win,” White said. “I’m as proud of this team as I have ever been of any team at Dadeville High School. It’s all because of what happened on the field tonight. They proved everybody wrong. They came down here to a hostile environment. Nobody thought they could win except the people who came down here with us. Now we get to play at home. Just incredible.” The home playoff loss means that Thomasville finishes the season with a 6-5 record.

Reeltown’s Takoreyon Edwards looks for room to run during a game earlier this season against Horseshoe Bend.

Reeltown loses heartbreaker in round one at Cleveland By Rob Rice The Blount Countian

CLEVELAND, Alabama – Sophomore kicker Juan Castro drilled an 18-yard field goal with no time on the clock to cap a furious comeback as No. 2 Cleveland survived a gutsy effort from visiting Reeltown. Castro got two shots at the winning kick. His first attempt from 21 yards was wide right with 1.8 seconds to play but Reeltown was flagged for roughing the snapper. It looked like the Panthers wouldn’t have a chance to be that close. Reeltown broke open a defensive struggle – Cleveland led 3-0 at the half – on the strength of the running game, and Martez McCullough in particular. After the Panthers extended the lead to 6-0, the Rebels got touchdown runs of 47 and 8 yards from McCullough and a 1-yard sneak by Korey Edwards – all in the third quarter – to take a 20-6 lead. The Rebel defense had limited the Panthers to just 76 total yards but the home team came to life at the end of the third quarter. Peyton Gilliland capped off a quick three-play, 77-yard drive with

a 28-yard strike to Nick Randolph to cut the Reeltown lead to 20-13. After an exchange of turnovers, Cleveland took over at their own 15 with 3:53 to play. Gilliland finished the ensuing drive off with a 27-yard run and Castro’s kick tied the game 20-20 with 1:54 left. The Rebels tried to answer with the passing game but Gilliland stepped in front of an Edwards pass at midfield and raced 45 yards to the Reeltown 5 to set up the final sequence. McCullough led the Rebels with 24 carries for 161 yards and two touchdowns. On defense, he had an interception and broke up two passes. Edwards completed 9-of-19 passing for 109 yards but was picked off twice. C.J. Bell caught six passes for 88 yards for Reeltown. Gilliland, an all-state selection a year ago, completed 7-of-14 through the air for 158 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He added 72 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries. Reeltown ends the year at 6-5 while Cleveland (11-0, the most wins in school history) hosts Sulligent (8-3) in the second round next week.
