Gov. Ivey prevails Republicans storm to slew of state victories By DONALD CAMPBELL and SANTANA WOOD Staff Writers

Special / The Herald

Gov. Kay Ivey garnered the majority of votes over Democratic candidate Walt Maddox and will serve a full term as Alabama’s governor.

Kay Ivey made history Tuesday night winning a full term of her own as governor defeating Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox. Many Republicans were elected Tuesday as results rolled in. “Together, we’ve done it,” Ivey exclaimed Tuesday night at a press conference streamed by CBS 42. “The people of Alabama have spoken today loud and clear, and we want to keep Alabama on the right track and keep Alabama working.

“It is with immense gratitude that I stand before you tonight as the next governor of Alabama. I am ever so grateful for your steadfast support, your prayers and your votes. Folks, tonight, today, together, we have made history — the first Republican woman elected governor.” Ivey, who said the odds were against her, said not only did she and her supporters finish, but they finished strong and are just getting started. Unofficial results at Herald press time showed Ivey garnering 67 percent of the votes, while Democratic candidate Maddox received 33 percent. See ELECTION • Page A8

A familiar staple at Wetumpka’s Memorial Park has recently received a much-needed facelift, thanks to a local Boy Scout. For his Eagle Scout project, Noah Hudson, 16, refurbished the World War I cannon that formerly stood on blacktop in the park and moved it to a new spot near the Coosa River. “The cannon had been sitting there on what used to be a basketball court for some time _ I think as long as I’ve been in scouts,” Hudson said. “I See CANNON • Page A2

thought that it would be a good idea for a project because it’s unique.” Boy Scout Troop 50 assistant Scoutmaster Gardner Perdue said he had wanted to see the cannon restored for a long time, and he was glad Hudson picked up the gauntlet. “I help young men find community projects that improve the area they’re in. I proposed this to several young men, and Noah is the one that said, ‘I can do this,’” Perdue said. “He had some questions about it, but he followed through.” Perdue said the last time anything was done to the cannon was in 1996 before Hudson decided to take on the project. Prior to being painted and given new tires, Hudson said the cannon had been in a fairly bad condition. “The paint was coming off, people had spray painted on it, some parts were rusted and the tires were disintegrating,” Hudson said. “It just looks a whole lot better.” In the future, Perdue and Hudson said the area around the cannon will be landscaped and the cannon will be designated as a historic monument. Because of the blacktop’s dilapidated condition, Hudson said the cannon deserved a better location. “We couldn’t just put it right back there,” Hudson said. “Right here, it’s overlooking the river and a lot more pleasing to the eye.” At noon on Nov. 11, Perdue and Hudson said the community is invited to gather at the cannon to pay respects to the 43 Elmore County service members who died during World War I. “World War I ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, which is Veterans Day,” Perdue said. “We’re going to dedicate this cannon to all the men and women who served from this area.”

The Wetumpka Depot Players are getting ready for their Candy Cane Cabaret Performances, which will benefit the theater’s upcoming Penguin Project for children with special needs. Wetumpka Depot Players director Kristy Meanor said those who attend performances at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 15 or 16 are in for an evening of holiday-themed songs and readings. “We are so blessed here at the Depot with excellent singers and storytellers, so it’s nice to host extra events like our cabaret to give them the opportunity to showcase their

talents,” Meanor said. Meanor said she reached out to the cast of the Depot’s summer musical, “Hands on a Hard Body,” and asked them to perform in the cabaret. She said several others, including well-known local Bailey performer Leslie Bailey, will also be included. “The folks who are involved in the play are bringing their best holiday songs and stories. We’ll put it together into a truly enjoyable evening,” Meanor said. “It’s a small, very intimate musical gathering

that’s very connected to the audience You feel like you’re a part of what’s going on onstage.” In December, the Depot Players are planning to launch the Penguin Project, which gives children with special needs the opportunity to produce a musical. Meanor said proceeds from the Candy Cane Cabaret will help the theater cover the Penguin Project’s royalty and set costs. “It’s such a special project. It really embodies community, and involves us reaching out and providing a gift of some sort to our kids who really would benefit from a special needs theater program,” Meanor said.

Child drowns at Wetumpka residence By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A 2-year-old child recently drowned in a pool at a Wetumpka residence, according to Wetumpka police. Reports said officers were dispatched to the residence on the afternoon of Oct. 22 after receiving a report that the child was

Franklin said Street’s arrest came after a thorough investigation by the drug task force, who he commended for their work. “I think the task force did an excellent job of acting on the information they received,” Franklin said. Selling drugs to a minor is a Class A felony. If convicted, Street could face a life sentence in prison and up to $60,000 in fines. Both chemical endangerment of a minor and first degree marijuana possession are Class C felonies, and possession of drug paraphernalia is a Class A misdemeanor. As of Oct. 31, Street remained in the Elmore County Jail on bonds totaling $43,000, and his preliminary hearing had not been scheduled.

unresponsive. Cpl. Sean Blackburn said the person living at the residence was not a relative of the child’s. After emergency personnel arrived and found the child lying next to the pool, they immediately began to administer CPR and other first aid techniques. A short time later, the child was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced

dead. Police did not release the child’s name, but said the death appears to be an accident and foul play is not suspected. “It’s an unfortunate tragedy anytime we have something like this happen.” Blackburn said. “It’s never easy, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.”

Other members of the award-winning ensemble include Amanda Borden, Adrian Borden, Lauren Norris, Cheryl Jones, Brad Sinclair, Terry Grant, Matthew Mitchell and Lloyd Strickland. Other production team members included Mary Katherine Moore, Noah DePace and Gayle Sandlin. “The Depot Players have a won the state festival seven out of the last nine festivals and are

so pleased to continue our great track record with The Diviners also taking top honors,” Depot board president Jeff Langham said. “This is a wonderful show and we believe that the show has potential to go all the way at SETC.” “The Diviners” is the story of a disturbed young man and his friendship with a disenchanted preacher in southern Indiana in the early 1930s. It’s told with warmth, love and humor is poetic and touching. The cast and crew will regroup

to give local audiences another chance to see the performance from Jan. 3-6. Plans are underway for benefit performances that will include not only the show, but also an evening of gospel and vintage music from the era of the play. Ticket information for those benefit performances will be online at wetumpkadepot.com in early December.

The city council voted to alter an ordinance concerning signs to allow businesses in the historic district to display blade signs.

Wetumpka council amends sign ordinance By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

The Wetumpka City Council unanimously voted to amend an ordinance that would affect businesses in the city’s historic district, during a regularly scheduled meeting Monday. The council voted to alter an ordinance concerning signs to allow businesses in the historic district, which lies primarily in Wetumpka’s downtown area, to display blade signs. Blade signs are displayed perpendicular to the sidewalk or road, and are typically attached to storefronts. City planning and project director David Robison said the changes will go into effect within the next two weeks. The vote came after a public hearing, in which no one spoke out in favor or against the amendment. Because blade signs will increase

the visibility of the businesses affected, Robison said he views the amendment as a positive for merchants in the historic district. “I think that blade signs, or projecting signs, are more appropriate for a historic downtown district than what the current regulations are,” Robison said. In other business, the council: •Amended the city’s personnel policy regarding safety awards. Under the new regulations, Wetumpka Human Resources Director Kathy Ellis said city employees could stand to lose half or all of their $75 quarterly award for safe driving if they are involved in an accident and found to be at fault. •Granted permission for the Wetumpka Municipal Airport to renew its land lease with Arrowhead Plastics. •Granted the Order of Cimarron to host the Mardi Gras festival and parade in Gold Star Park in March.

A well-known Elmore County business officially opened its doors at a new location on Oct. 31. After almost 65 years at its former location in downtown Wetumpka, Austin’s Flowers and Gifts LLC moved to 8580 Holtville Road in Deatsville. Powers said he started to consider moving Austin’s Flowers about a year ago, and made the final decision about three months ago. Powers said saying goodbye to the old location was emotional, but he believes moving was the best decision for both his business and the growth of Wetumpka’s downtown area. “We wanted to make room for what’s fixing to happen downtown. We wanted to reduce the overhead,” Powers said. “For our business, this seemed like the best thing.” So far, manager Lauren Head said business has been “pretty good,” at the new location. While it’s attracted interest from new people, Head said they expect to still receive business from its regular clientele, who she described as 100 percent supportive of them. Because there wasn’t a flower shop in the Deatsville prior to the arrival of Austin’s Flowers, Head said their presence has already

drawn positive feedback from the community. While Austin’s Flowers is no longer within Wetumpka city limits, Powers said he will remain invested in the downtown area’s development. “It’s not like I’m abandoning Wetumpka’s downtown,” Powers said. “I’m with Main Street Wetumpka, and I serve on the board there. I plan to keep up with downtown Wetumpka and support them.”

WPD participating in No Shave November By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

Things will be a little hairy for the Wetumpka Police Department for the month of November. According to chief Greg Benton, this will be the first time that the police department will be participating in No Shave November. While WPD officers are typically not allowed to have excessive facial hair, Benton said they will be allowed to grow out their beards in exchange for a $20 donation to the Elmore County Food Pantry. “They’ll have to trim it up, but they won’t be shaving for the whole month of November,” Benton said.

“It came up a couple of months ago. Someone asked about it, and I really had some reservations. But we decided to do it, and donate the money to a local charity,” Benton said. “This is something we wanted to do to give back to the community.” Benton said they chose to raise money for the food pantry because it is a local nonprofit that benefits local people. “It’s a place where people that need to be fed can go get food,” Benton said. “It’s a local place that helps out people in need.” Because of his hatred for shaving, assistant chief Ed Reeves said he was excited to be able to participate in No Shave November. “It really feels weird. I get dressed and come

to work and I touch my face and I’m like, ‘Oh crap, I forgot to shave,’” Reeves said. By Friday, Benton said about 10 out of the department’s 29 members had already signed up. “We expect there will be more, since we just put out the word,” Benton said. “As shifts come in, there are more and more (officers) signing up,” Reeves added. Benton said members of the public are also welcome to donate, and can bring donations to the station at 208 Marshall Street.

More than an election going on in Alabama politics

ur gubernatorial election year politics ended Tuesday. However, there have been other political maneuverings and developments going on behind the scenes, which may ultimately have more longterm ramifications in the Heart of Dixie’s political future. The selection of a new Business Council of Alabama leader is imminent and will probably occur in the next few days. In addition, the jockeying and wrangling for the U.S. Senate Seat in 2020 has begun. Alabama Power President, Mark Crosswhite, prudently cleaned house at the BCA earlier this year. He organized a team of cardinals to interview and select a new leader. Much like the vetting process for a new Pope, the Cardinals meet in total secrecy and send out smoke signals from the Vatican that they have not yet reached a decision. However, there are smoke signals that a new leader of the BCA is about to be named. The process has been very private with no leaks. This entire year long process of removing Billy Canary, who had reigned for 12 years, and selecting a new CEO has been a battle of business titans in the state. It has been a battle waged behind an iron curtain. The role of Crosswhite in this change has been clear. Crosswhite has emerged as the clear leader of the Alabama Business Community. The original BCA was forged under the leadership of former Alabama Power President, Elmer Harris several decades ago. It had become a toothless tiger in recent years through poor leadership. Crosswhite has picked the organization out of the junk pile and given it new life. Chances for a new beginning happen very few times. Like in politics, after the

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist election, you must govern. My belief is that with a new leader and a fresh start the Business Council of Alabama will emerge bigger and better than ever. You can rest assured that the business community of Alabama, and indeed the nation, will be looking forward to defeating Doug Jones in 2020. It is a glaring anomaly that one of the most conservative Republican states in America would have an ultraliberal, left-winger in one of our senate seats. In last year’s special election against Roy Moore, Jones received $22 million from the most liberal zip codes and enclaves in America, especially from the left coast of California and San Francisco. It was the only show bill in town, and Moore energized liberal money from throughout the country. Thus, the two truisms, “more people vote against someone than for someone,” and “money is the mother’s milk of politics” combined to create Alabama’s accidental anomaly, Senator Doug Jones. Our anomaly senator has done nothing to remedy the uncertainty about who he is since taking office. He has done no campaigning or visiting around the state. He has shown a disregard and disinterest in basic political practices, like getting out among the rank and file Alabamians. Jones seems to just go to Washington to vote, then back to Mountain Brook. The book on Jones is that he will not be elected to a full term in 2020. It is a presidential election year

and Alabama will vote for the Republican nominee, probably Donald Trump, overwhelmingly. This is a Republican senate seat and it will be won by a Republican. Jones seems to know this, therefore, he appears content to represent California during his tenure. As soon as Jones was sworn in, the race to be the Republican nominee began. The obvious candidates are one, if not all, of our six Republican members of Congress. Speculation abounded that the three best potential congressional horses would be Robert Aderholt, Bradley Byrne and Mo Brooks. The horse that has emerged as the favorite is Byrne. He has started early and has staked out the inside track. He has crisscrossed the state building an organization and is collecting and tying up the Washington establishment money. Aderholt will probably defer to staying in the House. He has more than 20 years of seniority and is in line to chair the Appropriations Committee. Congressman Mike Rogers is moving up in seniority and is on Armed Services. Brooks is expected to defer to Byrne in 2020 and look to run for Senator Shelby’s seat in 2022 if he retires. This stealth campaign for the 2020 Senate race has been going on this entire gubernatorial year. Byrne is indeed laying his stakes. There is a maxim in life and politics, “the early bird gets the worm.” See you next week. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s leading political columnist.

Polishing life requires discipline

tanding outside the window of my truck, a man is holding a bowl of Halloween candy. A large motorcycle rally is in town, the island flooding with chrome and a constant deep rumble. “Here, please take some,” he said. He is friendly, but with a hint of desperation to be separated from the colorful bowl of treats. Unclaimed candies from Halloween, no matter how small the colorful packages appear to the eyes, turn radioactive to adults – the mere proximity a threat to contributing to expanding waistlines. We strike up a conversation. He is working detailing motorcycles in the corner of a narrow parking lot along the water. His disposition is sunny, matching the sky above. Across the road, incoming waves twinkle as if a bag of children’s decorative glitter dances across the surface. The day is much brighter than the night he came to town. “I’d parked my truck for the night,” he said. “Then the storm came through, flipped it over. Totaled the eight bikes I’d brought.” His voice was even in tone, almost as if speaking about someone else’s experience. There was a

LEONARD WOOLSEY Columnist disappointment in his voice – but a disappointment absent of anger. He shrugged his shoulders, pushing the movement back into the past. “Figured I was already down here. I might as well hang around and do something.” We talked through the window about how he’d once owned a company selling detailing polish. He proudly held up a bottle for me to see. But what struck me most was his total acceptance of his circumstances. What had happened had happened. Nothing on his part would have stopped the high-winds from coming to town. Maybe, he admitted, he could’ve moved the bikes out of the trailer, but he didn’t. His bad, so the saying goes. Two Kit Kat bars moved from his bowl and into my truck. But he’d given me much more than two pieces of candy. What he’d really shared me was a

reminder of how to deal with situations we cannot expect to control in life. Here was a man, polishing rag in hand and eight motorcycles mangled and twisted in a trailer, with a smile on his face. What was done was done. What he controlled, he demonstrated, was the now. To him, and the success he’d found in life – the one led by a positive attitude – saturated his being like an inland marsh during high tide. Everyone gets upset or mad from time to time. But what separates people seems to be their ability to successfully control the moment, somehow putting the proverbial genie back into a bottle without creating lasting damage. Careless words used in anger or emotional decisions made without thought can linger uncomfortably afterward – serving as stubborn reminders long after the original moment has passed. Candy in the truck, we laughed, wishing each other a good day. But pulling out into traffic it occurred to me that for him, that was already a given.

Elmore County remembering WWI Sunday STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year1918, the guns of World War I fell silent. Elmore County’s 10th annual Veterans Tribute at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 11 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Wetumpka will dedicate this year’s event to the memory of all Americans who served in World War I. The featured speaker will be Nimrod Frazer, a retired businessman, veteran, and author. Nimrod “Rod” Frazer has authored two recently published books highlighting Alabama’s fighting men during the war in the fields of France. His book, “Send the Alabamians” is a well-researched account of the 167th Infantry Regimen of the Rainbow division. Frazer’s father was a soldier in this Regimen.

A bronze sculpture, gifted by Frazer, stands in Union Station in Montgomery as a tribute to those Alabamian guardsmen (some 3,600) who boarded the train here to go and fight in this “greatest war”. The sculpture was created by British artist, James Butler, and is a recast of the one that sits on Croix Rouge Farm in France today. Frazer, a veteran himself of the Korean War, received the Silver Star medal for gallantry in service to his country. He will be available for book signings before and after the concert in the Gallery of Honor. Alabamians of the River Region are encouraged to display their own and their family’s military photos and memorabilia in the Gallery of Honor which will be open to the public from 4 to 8 p.m. on Nov. 11 at Trinity Episcopal Church. We hope some citizens will dig into chests and old

family albums and display photos that have been passed down from relatives who served in WWI and other conflicts. Mark Harris, of Wetumpka (and a member of the Veterans Tribute Committee), has a portrait of his grandfather, Andrew Jackson Turner, in his WWI uniform. It will be on display in the Gallery along with a brief video created by Mark recounting the story of World War I. The annual concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. Once again, the performances will delight the audiences with patriotic songs, lively entertainment and personal recognition of veterans of all branches of service. Our featured choir will be the Montgomery Chorale under the direction of Dr. James Seay. The Belle Fleurs, a trio of singers performing in the Andrew Sisters style of WWII, will once again entertain with “Boogey Woogey Bugle Boy” with Melanie

Perry of Tallassee on the trumpet. Nathaniel Graham of Montgomery will regale the audience with his tearprovoking performance of “God Bless America”. For the 10th year, the “Stars and Stripes Forever” will ring out in the 6-handed style of Trinity Church’s trio: Barbara Davis, Elizabeth “Ebba” Dunn and Charlotte Henderson, Robert “Robby” Glasscock, percussionist; Justin Hardin, flutist/ piccolo; and Sarah Cater, organist and pianist round out the list of talent. A reception follows the concert in the Gallery of Honor with a cake by McKinney Cakes of Montgomery and sponsored by the Trinity Episcopal Church Women’s organization. All aspects of this event are free to the veterans and the public. The many donors and contributors are listed in the program for their generosity which makes this event possible.

Lock 31 added to state historic registry By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

A Coosa River landmark was recently added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage. Main Street Wetumpka Executive Director Jenny Stubbs, who nominated Lock 31, said she was notified Thursday that it was added by the Alabama Historical Commission. “I’m thrilled that it’s happening, and I think we’re all surprised that this hasn’t been done before now,” Stubbs said. “I’m glad I can be a part of it.” While the lock appears to be two large slabs of concrete in the river, Stubbs said it was nominated because of the

historical significance it carries from the late 1800s. “The lock, in particular, is very visible in the downtown area. Everyone looks at it, but they don’t really understand what it is,” Stubbs said. Though construction of Lock 31 began as a $6 million project, Stubbs said it was never finished and never used. According to Stubbs, the project was abandoned because of how quickly trains replaced steamboats as the most prominent method of transportation during that era. “It was part of a series of locks, and it was the last lock of the series. These locks for steamboats had

News that Wetumpka’s Lock 31 was added to the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage broke on Thursday. Main Street Wetumpka Executive Director Jenny Stubbs said the unfinished lock represents the shift from the use of steamboats to trains in the late 19th century.

special doors that let the steamboat through, but the doors were never put on (Lock 31) because it was literally during the shift,” Stubbs said.

“It just tells you how important it was when it began, but how quickly the trend changed.” Throughout the years, Stubbs said Lock 31

has been cultivated into a boat ramp and has become part of Main Street Wetumpka’s annual Tulatoma Snail Trail tour. “We have a steamboat mural (on the old Lancaster Hotel building) facing the lock, which is something” Stubbs said. “Now, we’re working with an Eagle Scout to cultivate a space at the lock, so that it’s a bona fide stop on the trail.” While there are many buildings in Wetumpka that could be added to the registry, but have not due to the time and effort it takes to get a structure listed. “I don’t think it’s because we don’t have historic buildings. I think it’s because it’s sometimes a lengthy process to submit to get things approved, and it takes time and effort,” Stubbs said. “You have to be very focused on your submission, because you have to research and be educated with a lot of information.”

Stubbs credited Main Street Wetumpka member Joe Champion, who she said was a pivotal part in getting Lock 31 nominated and approved for the registry. “He would do things like get a copy of (the lock system map) from the probate office. He would find historic documents that legitimized the historic value of the space,” Stubbs said. “In the beginning, he knew that the lock was important, and he helped me understand why.” Currently, Stubbs said is working to acquire a marker for Lock 31, and already has $1,200 in funds from Central Alabama Community Foundation’s Margaret and Auston Bridges Historic Preservation Grant. “Markers are almost a couple thousand dollars, depending on how large you get it,” Stubbs said. “We’ll probably end up having to pay some overage costs, but we do have the bulk of the funds.”

A United States Veteran is a man or woman who has served the USA in military service with the Armed Forces. Every year on November 11, we honor these brave men and women. Unlike Memorial Day, which is a holiday to honor soldiers who have died in service or battle, it celebrates all military personnel, both retired and active.

Maddox was disappointed in the results but encouraged Alabamians to join together in support of Ivey. “I just want to take a step back,” Maddox said to Tuscaloosa News. “I love my job as mayor of Tuscaloosa, and the challenges that face Alabama are going to be challenges felt by our city. We need to take a look at the city of Tuscaloosa and see what we can do to help address those challenges. “If (there’s) anything I want to convey tonight it’s that we’ve gotta come and support Gov. Ivey. The challenges that I talked about are real and she needs all of our support. You can’t talk about bringing unity and then go back to divisiveness, so I want to do everything I can to support the governor and hope we can do our part to make her successful. “If Gov.

Mustangs not shying away from tough road trip

CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

ASHAA playoffs sure to be full of surprises

Wetumpka expected to be here. Now, with the arrival of the postseason, Wetumpka is facing expectations it has not had for a long time. After making a trip to the state championship game last season, Wetumpka looks to be one of the top threats to Pinson Valley’s reign as Class 6A champions. Coach Tim Perry said his team is ready to get the playoffs started Friday night against Daphne. “We’re very excited,” Perry said. “We don’t take anything for granted. It’s a very special privilege to be practicing and preparing for a game this time of year, when you consider how many teams’ seasons ended last week. Our guys are very excited.” Wetumpka (8-2) enters the playoffs in a similar situation it was in last season. After a disappointing finish to the regular season, Wetumpka was still crowned

region champions and is coming off a bye week. Last year, Wetumpka turned that into a four consecutive playoff victories. Perry believes the experience from last season can help the returning players lead this year’s team to another run. “We hope that the guys from last year’s team are seasoned players and know what it’s going to take to play at the level you have to perform at,” Perry said. “Our team last year knew that and elevated their play in the playoffs so this group has to do the same thing.” Daphne (5-5) may be the best No. 4 seed in 6A this season. The Trojans clinched a spot in the playoffs for the 21st consecutive season with a 20-0 victory at Blount last week. Daphne enters the postseason winning three of its last four games. “They’ve been in every single game that they have played,”

o not let the cold weather or any rain deter you from getting out to a postseason football game this Friday night. There are plenty of good teams around the state this season and every classification should be up for grabs over the next five weeks. Some region champions will surely fall in the first round and there will certainly be lowerseeded teams making a run at a spot in next month’s Super 7 in Auburn. It is impossible for every team to have common opponents so it makes it difficult to try to predict how teams stack up against other teams from around the state. But why should that stop us from trying? In Class 7A, it is hard to pick a team other than Hoover every year. The Buccaneers have won three of four state titles since the creation of 7A in 2014. Sure, Hoover is entering the playoffs at 7-3 but the not-so secret is Hoover entered last season’s playoffs with a 7-3 record. And they easily rolled to the title. With all of that being said, Central-Phenix City appears to be on another level this season. The Red Devils are outscoring their opponents by an average 36 points per game. Thirty six. The most impressive part is those same opponents have a combined record of 59-30 against other teams. And that is why Central-Phenix City is my pick for the 7A title. Class 6A has the potential to be even more exciting this season. Pinson Valley will once again be the favorite but possible matchups with top-10 teams Muscle Shoals and Homewood could make See TURRENTINE • Page B2

Stanhope Elmore finished the season with just one loss in region play but will now be forced to travel to one of the best teams in the state for the first round of the Class 6A playoffs. The Mustangs will face No. 5 Saraland to begin the postseason Friday night. Stanhope coach Brian Bradford said his team is excited for the game and believes it has a good chance to advance to the next round. “This is what we’ve been waiting on and we’re all fired up about it,” Bradford said. “We know Saraland is a very good football team but so are we. We’re not going to change our game plan. We’re not going to change who we are.” Stanhope (6-4) lost its chance at the Region 3 title during a 59-21 loss to Opelika which Bradford said was the worst

Elmore County Player of the Week

Leonard helps shut down high-powered offense By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Stanhope Elmore faced a tough test in the final week of the regular season, traveling to No. 5 Greenville. The Tigers’ offense entered the game averaging 35.8 points per game but Stanhope’s defense was up to the challenge. The Mustangs held Greenville to just nine points and senior defensive tackle Ladorian Leonard was a big reason why. “The quarterback was on the run all night,” Stanhope coach Brian Bradford said. “For him to step up like that and throw off their rhythm, it didn’t allow them to be in sync all night. They pressured him all night long and totally changed the game plan for them.” Leonard recorded seven tackles on the night, including four tackles for a loss and two sacks. As a defensive lineman, Leonard is not used to filling the stat sheet and he was surprised to hear he finished with so many tackles. “Honestly, I didn’t even realize I had that many tackles,” Leonard said. “I guess I just got lost in it. But going through that is the best feeling in the world. Taking on a double team or coming off a block to make a play feels like we’re on top of the world.” Although he may not have known his stats, Leonard still sensed he was having a good game. He said he knew early on the Greenville linemen could not block him. “If I’m getting in the backfield consistently against you, then I associate you with anyone on the line,” Leonard said. “I think if you can’t block me, no one on your line can block me. Adrenaline does help in those moments, it gives you that drive

Stanhope’s Ladorian Leonard (52) has been a force for the Mustang defensive line for the last two seasons.

to go make that play.” Stanhope had a bye week after its loss to Opelika to prepare for the regular season finale against Greenville. Leonard said he was recovering from a minor injury during the off week. The Mustangs got anxious during the off time but Leonard said it made the team hungrier entering the Thursday’s game. He said the threat of being beaten by a team from a lower classification also helped push them to another level. “Coach (Hunter) Adams, our defensive coordinator, stressed that us and Greenville are on two different levels,” Leonard said. “(Class) 5A and

6A football are completely different levels and we took that mindset into the game. We went out on that field with strong confidence.” Leonard and the Mustangs will hope to take the momentum from Thursday’s win into this week’s playoff matchup. Stanhope will hit the road to face No. 5 Saraland this week and Leonard is still ready to see improvements from his team. “Of all the good things we did last Thursday, take all of the wrongs and work on those,” Leonard said. “And this week, we have to focus on having good, intense and fun practices. We get after it but it is fun and competitive.”

“We had to sit back and mull over it for two weeks,” Bradford said of the loss to Opelika. “It gave us a chance to focus on fundamentals and get back to what makes us a good football team. That showed the kids that when we play our best and play our game, we can do whatever we want.” Saraland (9-1) will enter Friday night on a similar note after missing out on a Region 1 title with a loss to No. 2 Spanish Fort in the regular season finale. This is the eighth consecutive season the Spartans have made the playoffs. Stanhope played just two ranked teams this season but one of those games resulted in a 34-28 win over then-No. 1 Wetumpka. The Mustangs hope their strength of schedule has prepared them for a tough postseason draw. “When you play Wetumpka, Opelika, Prattville, we’re used to the good competition,” Bradford said. “We know that we can play with anybody. They’re another really good football team but we’re going to treat it just like those games. We just have to keep fighting until the whistle blows.” This season, Saraland has the highest point differential across 6A, outscoring its opponents by 25.9 points per game. The Spartans have the top scoring defense in the state, allowing 91 total points during the regular season. “They’re very solid all the way across the board,” Bradford said. “They do a lot of movement and changing coverages. They’re going to give us some fits but I think we’ll be up for the challenge.” Stanhope has taken pride in its own defense this season but it will be up against a strong rushing attack. Saraland running back Rashawn McAlpine had a stretch of four consecutive 200-yard performances earlier this season. McAlpine, a junior, is coming off a 141-yard performance against Spanish Fort last week. “They run the football very well,” Bradford said. “They really do everything well, you can’t be a top-five team without doing everything well.”

Avery Roberts caps emotional week with signing By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

he Edgewood Wildcats finished their season with a loss in the state championship match Thursday. However, it did not stop the students and fans coming out to supports senior Avery Roberts as she signed her letter of intent to play volleyball at Pensacola State College next season. “The amount of support we have from the students and the fans is something I’ll never forget,” Roberts said. “The past 24 hours have been crazy but I’m so glad I can end it with something this exciting.” The AISA-AA state tournament was held in Montgomery with Edgewood playing three matches across Tuesday and Thursday. Roberts wanted to be celebrating a state championship to go along with her signing but she said the quick turnaround helped her stay positive. “I woke up this morning and it just hit me that we lost state yesterday,” Roberts said. “I had to say ‘It’s OK; today’s a new day and I’m signing to play college ball.’ So it’s just a great day.” Edgewood coach Sellers Dubberley echoed that sentiment and said the celebration for Roberts helped wash out some of the disappointment from the night before. “It forces you to have a quick turnaround and put one thing in the back of your mind to focus on the positive,” Dubberley said. “I think it helped. I didn’t know how it would go but I think being forced to focus on a positive is a good thing.” Roberts was a big reason the Wildcats made it to the championship match, recording 11 kills in the playoff wins over Tuscaloosa and Glenwood. Despite the loss to Macon-East, Roberts still recorded eight kills in the championship match. “She’s the first player I’ve ever coached to have signed,” Dubberley said. “She’s extremely talented. She’s been a crucial part of our success. We’re extremely proud of her.” See ROBERTS • Page B8

Wildcats fall one game shy of perfect season By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Edgewood’s expectations were as high as they could be entering the 2018 season and the Wildcats lived up to all of them until running into Macon-East in the AISA-AA championship match. Edgewood did not have an answer for Macon’s strong attack as the Knights pulled away from the state’s top-ranked team to win the title in three sets. The Wildcats (28-1) defeated Macon twice during the regular season, allowing the Knights to win just one set in the two

matches. However, the Knights played their best match of the season at the right time and Edgewood coach Sellers Dubberley said he was not surprised by it. “They played well like they did all year,” Dubberley said. “We had a game plan but we didn’t get anywhere close to running what we wanted to. All the credit to them though because they played as well as they did all year.” Despite being the underdogs, Macon-East quickly made its presence felt in the opening set. All-tournament player Ariel

Turrentine things difficult early on for the defending champions. Wetumpka can ride another wave of momentum to the state championship again but its path may be even tougher. Daphne, Hillcrest-Tuscaloosa, Spanish Fort and McAdory would all have to be beaten before Wetumpka even reaches the title game. No matter who comes out of the North in 6A, I believe it will be the South champion that wins the state title. While I think the favorite should be Spanish Fort, my dark horse pick will be an underrated Opelika team with Wetumpka, Saraland and McAdory sitting just behind it. The number of teams

continued from page B1

capable of winning the state championship in Class 5A is just a little crazy. Between the favorites such as Vigor, Ramsay, Briarwood and Etowah and the surprises in Madison Academy and Greenville, the 5A playoffs should be a lot of fun. And just for the record so everyone can let me know it is wrong, I’ll go with Briarwood. In Class 4A, Jacksonville and Hokes Bluff have made big strides and look capable of making a run at the state title game. The thing about that though is someone has to beat UMS-Wright and I do not think anyone can do that. There has been a bit of a mess in Class 3A as well

this season. Eight different schools have received firstplace votes in the ASWA poll this season and all eight of them are still ranked in the top 10. Westminster-Huntsville and Winfield are the only undefeated teams remaining but I’ll take the Mobile Christian Leopards who are playing some great football right now. The theme continues into Class 2A with several teams looking to make a run in the postseason. Teams like Leroy, Abbeville and Collinsville may be able to make some surprise runs but no one wants to run into Fyffe in the playoffs this season. Linden and Lanett have

been the best two teams in Class 1A all season but only one of them can make it to the state championship game. The North side of the bracket may be a little bit up for grabs and a team like Mars Hill or Falkville could turn some heads. However, the winner of the Lanett-Linden semifinal game will be winning this state championship. So, if your team is in the playoffs, good luck dealing with the stress. But if you have no rooting interest in this postseason, go out to a game or two to watch what will surely be a great month of football. Caleb Turrentine is a sports writer for The Herald.

Brown had four kills in the opening set as the Knights won 25-19 to move closer to the state title. Despite falling behind, Dubberley said he knew his team could come back. “I had hoped we would put that first set behind us start fresh but it was just more of the same every set,” Dubberley said. “We didn’t do a good job of slowing down anything they wanted to do. We just didn’t rise to the challenge.” Edgewood battled in the second set and held a 20-18 lead after an ace from CJ Weldon. See VOLLEYBALL • Page B8

Victory Christian celebrates winning the six-man state championship Friday night. The Eagles were undefeated this year and did not get scored on all season.

Victory Christian wins fourth state championship in 6 years By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Submitted / The Herald

Carter Piatt, top, celebrates with coach Jim Hardy after Victory Christian won the six-man state championship on Friday night.

After more than two decades of never having a winning season, Victory Christian in Millbrook has been ushered into the bigtime when it comes to six-man football in Alabama. Jim Hardy, a resident of Coosa County, took over the program in 2012, and since then, the Eagles have appeared in six straight state championships. Last week, they capped off their undefeated season with their fourth state title in six years, defeating Chilton Christian, 47-0. “I enjoy having a front row seat to watching the guys play,” Hardy said. “A lot of people want to give coaches most of the credit, but it’s the kids who are the ones that play the game. I always tell them once they get on the field, it’s their job, so I really am just proud of my boys.” A member of the Christian

Indians Perry said. “We’re trying to communicate to the players that Daphne is a very good team. We’re also communicating to them that this will be a four-quarter game.” All five of Daphne’s losses this season are by one possession. The Trojans lost by seven points to No. 2 Spanish Fort and by eight points to No. 5 Saraland. Daphne had an overtime loss to Fairhope this season, a team Wetumpka beat by 18 points in its season opener. “We know from watching them on film and watching them on Friday night that it’s a very good football team,” Perry said. “We understand that, at this time of year, everyone is good so we know that we have to play at our best to have an opportunity to win.” Wetumpka has found itself in the middle of a stretch of inconsistent play to end the regular season. The team saw its 20-point average margin of victory slip to just 5.2 points per game in the final four weeks of the season. Perry said his team has learned from the mistakes it has made this season but now is the time to play at a high level. “During the regular season, if you don’t play well and make too many mistakes, then you can always say we have next week to get back on track,” Perry said. “This time of the year, you don’t so it creates a sense of urgency.” Wetumpka will have the advantage of playing at home Friday night, where it has won 13 consecutive games. Being matched up with a region much further south, it was important for Wetumpka to win the region

Football Association, Victory Christian finished the year 10-0 and, even more impressively, was not scored on all season long. Because Hardy has been the coach for six years now, he said the strong relationship with some of his players has contributed to the Eagles’ unmatched success. “It’s a combination of the scheme we have as well as these seniors that will graduate in May, there’s five of them and they’ve been with me since they were seventh-graders,” Hardy said. “They know what I’m looking for. They’re like miniature coaches on the field, so it’s just the perfect storm. The league average was midto high-30s as far as what people scored, so it’s crazy to even think about.” Two of those seniors Hardy talked about are William Duhon and Will Fondren. Duhon was the Eagles’ running back and cornerback, while Fondren was the quarterback and played at linebacker.

When the league gave out all-star awards after Friday’s championship game, Fondren was named the offensive MVP and Duhon earned the league’s defensive MVP. The Eagles also had a special reason for playing, as they dedicated their season to Carter Piatt, a second-grader at Victory Christian who was born with multiple birth defects and has undergone seven surgeries in as many years. Hardy said he brought Piatt out to practice, hoping to give him something to get excited about, and the team naturally gravitated toward him. “The more he was out there, the more the boys got attached to him,” Hardy said. “It really came from the boys; they would say, ‘We need to do this for Carter,’ or ‘We need to score for Carter.’ It was built on every day, and he really grew on the boys.” Piatt was on the sidelines for Victory Christian’s big win Friday night.

tage to be able to play that first round at home. You’re comfortable with it so you can stay focused on your assignments. I think a routine is important in keeping a team focused. It’s an advantage.”

Edgewood Academy is back in the state semifinals after a two-year absence but the Wildcats have a new look to the team this time. Edgewood will enter Friday night’s matchup as the underdogs against Escambia, which was ranked No. 5 at the end of the regular season. “They’re a very big and powerful team,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “They’ll line up and come straight downhill at you. They’re a very physical and

talented team.” Escambia (9-2) is the defending AISA-AA state champions and has made it to the final in each of the last two seasons. The Cougars are undefeated in AA play and are currently riding a five-game winning streak. They have outscored their opponents by 28.8 points per game during that span. Escambia is coming off a 45-14 win over Coosa Valley in the first round of the playoffs. The Cougars got two touchdowns from See WILDCATS • Page B8

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your instincts will guide you through a difĂ&#x201E;cult talk, but only if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too tied up in who is right and who is wrong. A close loved one could prove to be an amazing inspiration. Reach out to this person more often. Tonight: Meet friends for some drinks and munchies.

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might need a break from the extremely hectic pace you have been maintaining. Be aware that making a money decision right now would be ill-advised. Make sure that you and a friend see eye to eye on how to split a bill for a meal. Tonight: Partake in the good times. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) The New Moon in your sign announces that signiĂ&#x201E;cant changes are about to head your way, if you so desire. You have to want these changes in order to make them a reality. A family member might weigh you down with his or her heavy ideas and thoughts. Tonight: Time for fun! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You put on your best face, even if you do not feel on top of your game. You know the power of positive thinking. On the other hand, not processing the negative thoughts that surround you might be a mistake. Stay as clear-headed as possible. Tonight: Do something just for you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Zero in on what is good for you. A get-together could be part of the scenario. You might need a friend to help you clear the air. Let this person play devilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advocate. A friend or loved one could jolt you with a sudden twist or turn. Tonight: Visit with an older relative. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might not be sharing your desire to be more of a leader or an inĂ&#x2026;uencer around the workplace. Your talents in that area could emerge from out of the blue, or so others think. Co-workers will help pave the way if you let them know your desires. Tonight: Fun and games. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Look beyond the obvious when trying to make sense of a situation. Consider what has not been said. Think about how others feel. You might be able to understand why you are doing all of this processing, but know that it will pay off in the end. Tonight: Be near good music.

Class action lawsuit filed against ABC Board By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Bureau Chief

An Eclectic resident recently filed a class action lawsuit against the Alabama Alcoholic Beverage Control Board with the Montgomery County Circuit Court. According to the suit, which was filed by Cary Reagan Jr. on Tuesday, the 6 percent sales tax the ABC Board has applied to the 56 percent excise tax placed hard liquor is in violation of the Code of Alabama. Reaganâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attorney, Jim DeBardelaben, said the ABC Board is unauthorized to apply the sales tax. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For each bottle of whiskey you buy, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re charging you 3.36 percent too much. That doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem like

much, does it? Do you know how much whiskey the state sold last year? About half a billion dollars worth,â&#x20AC;? DeBardelaben said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are taxing you a tax on the excise tax. In other words, a tax on a tax.â&#x20AC;? Since 2010, DeBardelaben said the ABC Board has overcharged Alabama residents between $45 and $50 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of money that they took out of the pockets of the hardworking people of this state,â&#x20AC;? DeBardelaben said. The lawsuit stated Reagan is filing on his own behalf, as well on behalf of more than 500,000 Alabama residents who have purchased liquor from the ABC Board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;All members of the class have suffered the same wrong, but in

different monetary amounts,â&#x20AC;? the formal complaint read. Additionally, DeBardelaben said the 6 percent sales tax is also in violation of the ABC Boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own rules and regulations. DeBardelaben also argued, because the ABC Board is a state entity, it should not be charging sales tax in general. DeBardelaben, who has personally known Reagan for decades, said they have been researching the issue since last year before coming to the conclusion the lawsuit was likely the only way to getting it resolved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mr. Reagan brought me a Christmas gift last year, and it was a bottle of whiskey. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink much, he doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t drink much and he was fussing

about how much it costs in Alabama,â&#x20AC;? DeBardelaben said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Give me the receipt. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk through it.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? If the court rules in favor of Reagan, DeBardelaben said Alabama residents who have purchased liquor from the ABC Board may be entitled to receive financial compensation. Hopefully, DeBardelaben said the lawsuit will prompt members of the ABC Board to take a closer look at their rules and regulations in the future. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to make the people who appointed these boards study the (ABC) Board and make sure itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing the right thing,â&#x20AC;? DeBardelaben said. As of Herald press time on Tuesday, representatives from the ABC Board were unavailable for comment.

Holtville’s JaDerrick Carter is expected to be back at full strength for this week’s playoff game.

majority of games that we play in,” Franklin said. “No one gave them a chance to be in the position they’re in so keep playing like you’re the underdogs. Play like you have that chip on your shoulder. Play like no one gives you a chance.” Holtville (7-3) will hit the road for the first round of the playoffs Friday night as it travels to face Montgomery Catholic. The Bulldogs have not played in a postseason game since 2010 and have not advanced to the second round since 1993. Catholic (7-3) is on the opposite end of the spectrum as it enters the playoffs for the third consecutive season. The Knights are 6-1 against 4A schools this season, with their only loss coming in the regular season finale to No. 8 Headland. Catholic allowed a season-high 34 points in that loss before taking a bye week to prepare for the postseason. Holtville believes it can find a way to put points up on the board against Catholic’s defense. “It gives us some ideas of what they had trouble with and some things we might be able to take from it,” Franklin said. “We might try to implement a few things that they haven’t seen from us this year.” The Knights have limited the majority of opposing offenses this season. They have allowed their opponents to reach double digits just four times and the Knights have recorded three shutouts this season. Franklin said the defensive success starts up front for the Knights. Catholic senior and Indiana commit CJ Person has recorded 71 tackles for a loss over the course of his career and leads the team with 10.5 sacks this season. Person, a defensive end, has also forced three fumbles, recovering two of them, and intercepted a pass this year. “They haven’t had to blitz a whole lot against anybody because their front four has been so good,” Franklin said. “But I have a lot of confidence in our offensive line and the way they’ve played this year.” Catholic is undefeated at home this season, where its defense has been even better. The Knights have allowed only 12 total points in five home games this year. Holtville has had some struggles on the road this year, finishing the regular season with a 2-3 record away from Boykin Field. Running into an opponent with as much home success as Catholic may not be the ideal matchup for the Bulldogs but Franklin said the road trip should not bring the difficulties of the past. “We’re not traveling two and a half hours this time,” Franklin said. “It’s a short little trip down the road so that’ll be a good thing. We’ll be able to keep a pretty normal routine other than maybe leaving early and dressing somewhere else.” Holtville enters this week on a three-game winning streak, its first since September 2010. Over the course of the last three weeks, the Bulldogs have outscored their opponents 12925. Franklin said he feels like the Bulldogs are playing their best football of the season at the right time, especially as players return to full strength. JaDerrick Carter has transitioned into backfield role for Holtville this season but a minor ankle injury was cutting into his playing time over the final three weeks of the season. Franklin said he has been getting better and his play Friday could be crucial for the Bulldogs to pull off the upset. Drake Baker had surgery on a torn UCL in his throwing elbow earlier this season but returned to the field in last week’s win over Marbury. He has not been cleared to throw yet so Braxton Buck will remain as the starting quarterback but Baker was able to run the ball, rushing three times for 35 yards and a touchdown. He also recorded four tackles and a fumble recovery on defense.

Roberts won two state championships during her varsity career with Edgewood. However, her senior season may have been the best of her career. Roberts was one of the top hitters for Edgewood’s strong attack and often led the team in kills. She finished with seven or more kills in 10 matches this season, including a season-high 13 in the team’s regular season win over Macon-East. “Even though we didn’t win state this year, I’m going to remember it more than the past two years,” Roberts said. “The memories we made this year are just incredible.”

Holtville’s Rachel Lindsey finished 17th at the Class 4A Section 1 meet. Her running time of 23:51.07 was enough to qualify for the state meet as an individual. Elmore County did not run as a team in the meet but Reece Baker qualified for state with a finishing time of 19:12.12. Tallassee’s Woodrow Dean led the way for the Tigers. The freshman

Roberts will continue her career playing for Pensacola State in the National Junior College Athletic Association. The Pirates just wrapped up their season with a 10-15 record but Roberts said choosing Pensacola State was easy once she saw the campus and met the coaches. “My 10th-grade year is when I knew I wanted to play volleyball,” Roberts said. “I started putting more time in the gym and this past summer I started getting offers. My recruiter coordinator set up a visit to Pensacola State and from the moment I stepped in I knew this is where I wanted to be. I’m excited.”

finished second in the Class 5A Section 1 meet, crossing the finish line at the 17:11.37 mark. The Tigers finished fourth in the section to qualify for the state meet as a team. Caleb Mason also finished in the top 10, with Baxlee Burton and Clay Johnson rounding out the team’s top four finishers. Tallassee’s Catherine Crawford finished fifth overall in the girls sectional. Her time of 22:38.67 was good enough to send Crawford to state for the second time in her career. The state cross country meet will be held this weekend in Moulton at Oakville Indian Mounds Park.

Wildcats their special teams unit before using their rushing attack to finish off the Rebels. Free said the Wildcats have to sustain drives on offense to keep the ball out of the hands of Escambia’s playmakers. “Ball control and time of possession in this game could be the difference,” Free said. “You want to keep it away from their bigplay threat and keep some drives to shorten the game as much as you can.” Edgewood (8-3) will look to use its own rushing attack to keep the chains and clock moving when the Wildcats are on offense. Kolby Potts has been the workhorse for the offense this season but Tyler Abernathy is also a proven threat in the backfield. Both players rushed for two touchdowns during the team’s first-round victory against Clarke Prep. Escambia will counter with a strong 1-2 punch of its own in the backfield. Running back Patrick McGhee and fullback Jabo Davis combined for three touchdowns in last week’s win. McGhee has been one of the best backs in the state this season, racking up 1,891 yards and 29 touchdowns on the ground. “You have to stop the run,” Free said. “They line up in different formations but they’re a run-heavy team. They’re a unique team to game plan for but you have to focus on stopping the run game.” The Cougars have averaged 36.4 points per game this season, scoring at least 35 in every game against opponents within their classification. In both of Escambia’s losses this season, the team was held to just seven points. Free said the team will not look to differ from the strategies which got the Wildcats this far but there may be things from those games Edgewood can pull from its film sessions. “We just look for little things we try to take advantage of here and there,” Free said. “We look for how we can adjust within our style of play to be successful.” Despite playing on the semifinal stage, Free said the team is not trying to get any extra excitement built around the game. The players believe they can win Friday but

However, the Knights stormed back, taking seven of the final eight points to win the set. Tournament MVP Madisyn Kennedy had seven kills in the set for the Knights. “We never slowed them down,” Dubberley said. “It wasn’t one play or one thing they were doing. (Kennedy) took over when she walked onto the court and she’s always been that good. We didn’t respond so it’s just frustrating.” Edgewood was not giving up yet but Kennedy and the Knights were too much to handle in the third set. Kennedy recorded kills on four consecutive points to give Macon a 17-9 lead from which the Wildcats did not recover. “It’s a learning experience,” Dubberley said. “I hope I get better from it and I hope the girls learn from it and come back better next year.” Weldon and Kenzie Johnston made the all-tournament team for Edgewood. Johnston, the libero for the Wildcats, recorded nine digs and eight aces in the final three matches of the season. Avery Roberts led the team with eight kills in the final match and finished the tournament with 19 kills and six blocks. Haylee Brown finished the tournament with 15 total kills, including seven in the semifinal win over Glenwood. This was Edgewood’s first season in AISA-AA, the highest division for AISA volleyball. Despite the overall success the Wildcats had this season, Dubberley said this loss was going to hurt for a while. However, he said he told the team he hopes everyone will eventually look at this season as whole. “That is the hardest part of my day to day,” Dubberley said. “We’ve had a very good year. We lost five sets all year in 30 games but we just lost three sets in a row today. But to be honest, we aren’t just playing for good seasons anymore. We were playing for perfection, a state championship so right now, it’s hard to balance that out.”

Edgewood’s defense has held five opponents to seven points or fewer this season.

they also know the season has already been successful no matter what happens against Escambia. “We’re going to try to do business as normal this week,” Free said. “The kids know what this

game means but we’re not going to put everything into one game even though it is a semifinal game. We’re not going to have an attitude that our season’s success is make or break on this one game.”
