This year’s fall-semester enrollment numbers for Central Alabama Community College have so far defied the general downward trend for community colleges across the state and nation. The community college system as a whole has seen a decrease in attendance over recent years, and CACC has
After 4 years of decline, numbers climb this year reflected those rates, but current statistics point to a slight enrollment increase for the second half of this school year. Enrollment numbers taken over the past five years show that what was once a steep decrease in attendance from one fall semester to the next has gradually lessened each year. According to information
Students at Central Alabama Community College in Alexander City move about the campus between classes.
provided by CACC and the Alabama Community College System, the ongoing fall semester has been the tipping point to small gains. In the 2011 fall semester there were about 2,500 CACC students. The count from this year indicates about 1774. However,

Tim Watkins of Whippoorwill Vineyards walks between rows of vines, surveying this year’s crop. The farm between Dadeville and Notasulga is producing wines that have taken high honors in state and national competitions.

Outlook Staff Writer
aking wine and competitions have been a mainstay for the Watkins family near Reeltown for decades. It started out as a father – son competition between Bobby and his son Tim Watkins to see who could make the best wine from the muscadines in the father’s backyard. “It was a competition between me and him (Bobby), “Whippoorwill Vineyards co-owner Tim Watkins said of he and his father. “That started about 30 years ago.” The younger Watkins explained how his See VINEYARD, Page 10
Hydock the featured speaker for RMC’s Awareness Luncheon By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer
Dolores Hydock came to Alabama’s Chandler Mountain in 1974 as part of her work on her Yale degree in American studies. She never left. “I was working toward an American folklore concentration in American studies and I came down here to do my work on the American South,” Hydock said. “I thought, ‘I’ll just be here a year or two.’ Then life happened.” The Reading, Pennsylvania, native now lives permanently in Birmingham from where Hydock she travels the nation telling her stories.

Shock. That seems to be the word most used by friends and family members who say they still find it hard to believe that Dianna Mitchell Sharpe, 48, and Robert Wayne Mitchell are dead. The brother and sister were shot to death in the mobile home they shared on Pate Road in the Goldville Community Thursday. Authorities say that Sharpe’s boyfriend, Dean Carl Stevens, 50, admitted to shooting the two after surrendering to New Site Police. The shock comes because the two were remembered as loving people who were always upbeat and looking after others. While Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said no new details were ready to be released, he said that the investigation is continuing. He did confirm that Sharpe and Stevens had been seeing each other for several months and had moved into the residence recently. “It’s just a tragic situation,” Abbett said. “Our thoughts and prayers are with that entire family. They are certainly dealing with a lot right now.” Sharpe was a single parent who was working her way through nursing school at Southern Union. She had been featured in the Outlook for organizing motorcycle rides to help veterans in need. “I still can’t believe it,” Kim Williams posted on Facebook. “She was in my nursing class. I enjoyed our talks. She was very sweet and determined to get through school. She will be missed. I know many of her nursing friends have heavy broken hearts.” Mitchell had worked as a logger most of his life, but had been dealing with medical issues of late. Still, family members say that Wayne was always joking around and would do anything for anyone who needed help. “He was always looking out for other people,” said Mitchell’s brother, who asked that his name not be used. “He had opened his home up to others and ironically, that is what led to this. It’s just been a shock. You never dream that you would receive a call like that.” No arrangement have been announced for the victims at this time. Stevens remains without bond in the Tallapoosa County Jail.

DEAR ABBY: My husband enjoys sitting around (among other activities) naked. We live in a subdivision with 700 homes. I have asked him repeatedly to stop, join a nudist group or go home to his mother -- whatever! He says he’s sorry, blah blah blah. But it doesn’t stop happening. The deputies have already visited to tell him to stop playing his ukulele while driving, and I’m afraid he’ll get caught without a stitch on one day and all hell will break loose. I realize how ludicrous this letter may sound, but I’m being truthful. Am I crazy to expect him to stay clothed in semi-public? -TERESA IN THE SOUTH DEAR TERESA: I’m sorry you didn’t define “semi-public.” It’s one thing for a person to “let it all hang out” in the privacy of his (or her) home or fenced backyard. It’s quite another for that individual to fully expose himself in public view. If this is what has been happening, it appears you have married
DEAR ABBY Advice
an exhibitionist who could be arrested for indecent exposure if a neighbor chooses to complain. If this is what’s happening, you’re not crazy; you are a concerned wife. DEAR ABBY: My daughter’s elementary school has many fundraisers each year where the children are asked to sell things like takeout pizza coupons and cheap wrapping paper to raise money for schoolwide events. I’m happy to support the school, but do not want her to participate in the selling. She’s too little to go door-todoor or make phone calls on her own, so I end up doing it for her. I am very uncomfortable
when individuals ask me to buy things. I don’t want to put that kind of pressure on other people. Also, some of the items for sale are unhealthy or not things we’d use, so it seems wrong to ask others to buy them. Instead of selling, where they only get a small portion of the funds, I’d rather donate directly to the school. However, I’m not sure how to do that without making our family stand out in this very small community. When a new fundraiser is announced, should I ask the teacher or PTA member how much our share is and then write a check? I’m afraid I’d be inviting gossip about being too stuck up or wealthy to participate (we are neither). And how do I explain to my 7-year-old why I don’t think she should be selling things, without seeming critical of her friends who are? -- JUST WANT TO DONATE IN IOWA DEAR JUST: This is a concern you should discuss with the person who is in charge of
the fundraiser. If you prefer to donate the money you would be expected to raise, rather than have your child solicit door-todoor, your wishes should be respected because the result will be the same for her school. Frankly, I think you have a point. DEAR ABBY: My mother and I disagree about what to do if a child is invited to a birthday party but is unable to attend. Mom says you should still buy a present for the honoree. I think that’s a nice thing to do, but not necessary. What do you think? -- UNSURE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR UNSURE: I agree with you. Buying a gift for the birthday child would be a very thoughtful gesture, but it is not required.

Celebrating a life with words from the heart
Our
Opinion
Be on hand today to wish the 214th well
F
or many in Alexander City, today marks a sad, but proud goodbye. The Outlook hopes that a nice crowd is on hand at 9:30 a.m. today at the Benjamin Russell High School auditorium for the departure ceremony for our local Army National Guard 214th Military Police Company. These troops – our our troops – will, after extensive training at an undisclosed mobilization station, ship out for Cuba and infamous Guantanamo Bay, where they will provide external security for detainees and force protection for military personnel located at the base. The deployment of the 214th came as a surprise to us here in Alexander City. And it came on the heels of the Alabama National Guard’s announcement one week earlier that the 214th was losing its home and that Mac W. Speaks Armory, built more than 60 years ago, would be closing its doors. But despite being in limbo with regard to its National Guard home, we expect the 214th to perform its assigned duties at Guantanamo Bay with valor and distinction. Just as it did in recent deployments as part of operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm, Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn. During its time in Iraq in 2003-2004 for Iraqi Freedom and New Dawn, the unit was awarded the Valorous Unit Award and suffered the combat death of one its soldiers. Since 9/11, unit members have also been awarded a total of 40 Purple Hearts for wounds sustained in combat while serving overseas. We are sure that this morning marks the beginning of yet another noble stint of active duty by the members of the 214th. We are proud of our hometown warriors and pray that their service time is successful and that each member of the company remains safe from harm throughout his or her term of active duty. Finally, we look forward to the day – hopefully, in the near future – when we will all gather to celebrate the homecoming of the members of the 214 Military Police Company, each and every one of them.
I
’m often thankful that I’m a member of the Episcopal Church.I’m what they call a “cradle Episcopalian,” which means I was born into the church, I was baptized, confirmed, married in the church and someday I’ll be buried with the liturgy of the dead in the Episcopal Church. I’m not a cradle Alexander Citian – I moved here in 1989 and there are still some folks that I’m trying to impress so I can get “full hometown status.” But I am a cradle Episcopalian, which gets me at least one gold star and a measure of clout in some circles. One of the times I’m most grateful of my church heritage is during an Episcopal funeral. And even though I’ve been an Episcopalian all my life, I think I can say “The Episcopal Church gets funerals right” with some confidence. I thought that several times Thursday, when St. James’ Episcopal Church packed into our sanctuary – standing room only – for Charlene Bates’ funeral. Charlene was a longtime member of our church. I don’t know if she was a cradle Episcopalian, but I know she was attending St. James’ before I came to town. Charlene taught 37 years in the Alexander City School system, and she was an important figure for generations of Alexander City residents. Charlene and her children Megann and Andrew lived on Dobbs Road; our first house was
KENNETH BOONE Publisher
on Lavista Road, so we shared a church and a neighborhood. Megann was one of the babysitters who looked after our children. Our families grew up together, but as all families do, we moved, our children got older and left Alexander City and we hadn’t spent much time outside of the church with Charlene and her family I recent years. If you ask me, a good funeral has a number of characteristics. It’s meaningful, poignant, sad and joyful. It’s a time for mourning, a time to comfort each other, to renew friendships and share love, a time to celebrate a life on this Earth and a time to be thankful for resurrection. Charlene’s funeral was all that and more. I cried. I laughed. I felt my heart swell in my chest. And the Episcopal liturgy provided a time for all that. Bobby Boone and the St. James Choir and soloist Carolyn Walsh did a beautiful job with the music, from traditional hymns like Amazing Grace and Lift High The Cross to more modern praise music like Seek Ye First and Alleluia Medley, which includes some of the verses we all learned as tiny children: “Jesus loves me, this I know …” David Cain, Charlene’s son-in-law, did a superb
job reflecting on her life on behalf of the family. He told funny, insightful, heart-warming stories about first meeting his motherin-law by escorting her to a wedding where Megann was a bridesmaid. He said they “cut the rug” during the reception; when Megann asked Charlene how she liked her boyfriend, Charlene said, “It was love at first sight.” It’s not often that a relative’s comments at a funeral get an ovation, but David Cain got a well-deserved round of applause Thursday at St. James’ Episcopal Church. After I had communion at the altar, I walked over and hugged Megann, who was sitting on the front pew. It was a long, memorable hug. And I whispered in her ear, “It’s a good day.” I don’t know why I said it. It wasn’t planned. And when I got back to my pew, I briefly thought that might not be an appropriate thing to say to a loving daughter during her mother’s funeral. But the more I considered it, the more I realized it was exactly the right thing to say. It was from the heart and it paid tribute to her husband’s wonderful comments, to the scores of people who came to say goodbye to their friend and teacher, to the end of Charlene’s suffering from cancer and to the next phase of her existence. It was a good day indeed. Boone is publisher of The Outook.

Letters to the Editor
Reader: Banning guns takes our freedom away Billy Ray Wall
James Spann
Thomas Goss
Dear Editor, Gun owners take heed. On gun control and the people who propose gun control, there are some facts that you should know. The Soviet Union established gun control; 20 million dissidents were rounded up and exterminated. In Turkey also, 1.5 million exterminated. Germany – 13 million, China – 20 million, Guatemala – 100,000, Uganda – 300,000, Cambodia and other countries who have gun bans have similar results. Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th century. Fifty-six million Australian citizens were forced to surrender their personal handguns, at a cost of $500,000 with no results. Since the criminals know people don’t have guns, break-ins and assaults have increased. You won’t see this on the evening news.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens. Take note before it’s too late. When someone talks about gun control, remind them of the countries that have gun bans. With guns, we are citizens; without them, we are subjects. I am afraid we are going down the wrong road on gun bans. Sure, there should be stricter laws. Enforce the laws we have, ban some guns. Remember, when the government gets your gun, only the criminals will have them. P.S. There are a lot of people killed in automobiles, no one is trying to ban them. P.P.S I believe that Jesus meant for people to be able to defend themselves: Luke 22: 35-38 Robert Mobley Alexander City

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH Stay level despite surprises early in the day. You could feel abandoned in some sense. You will be in an enviable position, as you seem to be able to reset your schedule and mood with ease. You will notice negative feelings drift away as time passes. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push too hard. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You will be unusually playful compared to most people. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry -- youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll Ă&#x201E;nd a playmate with ease. What you choose to do must be an activity you love. That type of excitement is what will draw in others. Tonight: You could become quite mischievous. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You might be spending a lot of time at home, as you feel comfortable in this setting. Invite friends over later in the day for a spontaneous fall happening or party. Your attitude and easygoing nature might surprise some of your company. Tonight: And the party goes on. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to have a conversation with a friend in order to clear the air. How you deal with this person could be subject to change because of information that comes in. You might feel as if you are having a difĂ&#x201E;cult time keeping a steady pace. Tonight: At a favorite spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might be concerned about the costs of a trip or a special weekend. Verify the costs now, and if you are comfortable with them, go ahead. Do not create unnecessary tension in your life. You can always Ă&#x201E;nd an alternative. Tonight: Nothing needs to be formal right now. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH The Moon highlights you and draws quite a few admirers toward you. Handling this popularity could be difĂ&#x201E;cult, especially if you are attached. Honor a changing situation with a family member who seems to be in an odd mood. Tonight: Create a special time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your ability to understand more of what is happening with a special friend is likely to emerge. This person might be more withdrawn than you have seen in a long time. Be understanding. Recognize that you handle personal matters differently. Tonight: Vanish. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Your situation is changeable. Your Ă&#x201E;nances seem to be rather tight, but you still will manage to have a good time. Sometimes throwing yourself into a situation in which you arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t normally exposed can invigorate the moment. Friends surround you. Tonight: Go for it. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH Pressure builds as a key person seems to need you and make demands. At some point, you will need to say when enough is enough and allow yourself to create some fun, personal time. Take a stand, and others will follow. Enjoy the position as leader of the gang. Tonight: Out late. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Reach out to a friend at a distance. Perhaps you will make plans to get together in the near future. You might have been considering a change of scenery anyway, so why not join this person for a mini getaway? You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to go far. Tonight: A new spot with new people. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to deal with a loved one on a one-on-one basis. As a result, you might draw a strong, unexpected reaction. You could be surprised by what comes up. Be smart and respect this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s point of view rather than create a struggle. Tonight: Add some candles and ambiance. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Others seek you out. You have so many invitations heading in your direction that you could be overwhelmed. If money is an issue, say so, and others will help you Ă&#x201E;nd a way around the problem. Tonight: Go from one happening to another!

On Tuesday, she will be in Alexander City as the featured speaker at Russell Medical Center’s 12th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month luncheon, which begins at noon in the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center on the Central Alabama Community College campus. “I’ve not been personally touched by breast cancer,” Hydock said. “But I have several friends who are survivors. And I’ve had other loved ones who have or have had cancer. I know that the support of family and friends is essential. And I think that it’s a wonderful thing that Russell Medical Center is doing with the luncheon and bringing those who have faced this disease together to share their experiences.” Hydock said that her profession as a storyteller ties right in to the supportive idea behind the Tuesday luncheon. “All stories are about the same thing,” Hydock said. “All stories tell you that you are not alone. Whether they are funny, touching or inspiring, that’s their message. We use words to support each other. The power of words to connect each other is an amazing thing.” Susan Foy, Russell Medical Center’s director of marketing, said she is excited about this year’s luncheon

and expects another sellout. “We’re looking forward to having Dolores as our speaker,” Foy said. “She has spoken to other groups here in town like Horizons Unlimited and I’ve heard that she’s really captivating. “We traditionally sell out for the luncheon and we feel like we will again this year. Betty Carol Graham Center holds about 440 for a seated, catered luncheon. We still have a few tickets left, but they’re going fast.” Tickets are available in the Russell Medical Gift Shop or by calling Jessica Sanford in the hospital’s community relations office at 256-3297145. Foy said that, in addition to Hydock, luncheon attendees would also hear a medical update on breast cancer issues from Dr. Alex Minter, a new medical oncologist at the Cancer Center at RMC and the brother of Dr. Mary Emily Sheffield, also an oncologist at the Cancer Center. Breast cancer survivors will also be recognized at the luncheon, Foy said. “Last year, I think we recognized about 40 survivors, some undergoing treatment and others who were longterm survivors,” Foy said. “Overall, it’s an informative, fun and inspirational event. “And we always have a few surprises in store.” Foy said all proceeds from the luncheon go to the breast cancer awareness fund of the Russell Medical Center Foundation.
CACC both sources emphasized that this number was not final and that it could fluctuate in either direction. In the most recent fiveyear period the initial loss from the 2011 to 2012 fall semesters was the most drastic, with a decrease in enrollment of approximately 432 students. From there, the yearly decline between fall semesters began to level off, with a decrease in enrollment of 179 between 2012 and 2013 and a difference of only 99 between 2013 and 2014. Both Janet Martin, ACCS interim executive director of public relations and marketing and Brett Pritchard, of CACC public affairs, said that historically enrollment goes up in a bad economy. Since 2011, the enrollment at CACC is down by about 27 percent. Typically at times when
continued from page 1
the economy rebounds, Martin said that enrollment drops off because more jobs are available without the unique technical education provided by most community colleges. Even so, according to Pritchard, CACC has been successful in sustaining its traditional student base of those that come directly from high school into college. The overall trend for the state however is still a decline and Pritchard said that CACC was one of the exceptions showing even a slight increase. To turn that trend around and raise enrollment, Martin said that community colleges as a system need to better communicate with their surrounding areas and the various potential student bases within them. Part of CACC’s efforts will be to continue grow-
ing their current programs, most of which are doing well, Pritchard said. He said they plan to continue building on what they have and will also implement a strategic enrollment plan in January that will

evaluate recruiting strategies, modernization efforts and will take an overall look into what the public and students need. “Things change and we have to change as well,” Pritchard said.

Vineyards father gained an advantage in the friendly competition. “There were only about eight muscadine vines in dad’s backyard.” Tim said. “We did not know it at the time but only one or two of the vines were good for wine making.” “They were Nobles,” the elder Bobby Watkins inserted. Nobles are one of about four out of 80 or 90 varieties of muscadines that are good for winemaking. “We did not know what they were, just knew they were better than the others,” Tim said. “Sometimes, dad would get to them first and do better than me. There were a couple of years that those vines did not do so well, but I knew where to find some good muscadines in the woods. I would shake the vines and pick them up off the ground.” Fast forward several years and the Watkins were able to acquire a field near their homes on the Tallapoosa and Macon county line. “It had grown up,” Tim said. “We had to do some clearing. It had some pine trees on it.” From there Tim, a tool and die machinist, started to look around and see what could they do with the property. “I was flipping through Progressive Farmer and saw it,” Tim said. “I went to dad. Lets grow muscadines, and not long after we planted our first vines. We planted the vines in 2005. We got our first harvest in 2008 and opened the winery in December of 2009.” Now the Watkins have over 2,000 vines of which about 85 percent are muscadine. Of those vines, the Watkins are only able to take advantage of about half of them to make wine because of the capacity of

the winery. “We are limited because of our tank capacity,” Tim said. “We have three 3850 liter tanks – that’s about 1,000 gallons each. It takes about seven tons to make a batch and fill a tank. We hope to someday be able to take advantage of the full crop.” The younger Watkins explained how Whippoorwill Vineyards acquired its first award. “We started entering competitions in 2010,” Tim said. “We got all these letters in the mail. I chunked most of them, but I kept one, The Finger Lakes International Wine Competition. I thought we would not stand a chance at this. We have only been making wine a year or two now. But I got to reading and all the money from the competition went to kids with cancer, so I said what the heck. We won two or three bronze medals in that first competition.” The Watkins and Whippoorwill Vineyards did not stop there. “Those medals make you want to ante up,” Tim said. “At that time, we were pulling muscadines by hand. It took a couple days to get enough to run a batch. In 2012, we got a harvester.” The harvester gives the Watkins a better fruit to work with. “Your wine is only as good as your fruit,” Tim said. “With handpicking it took three to four days to get enough fruit to start a batch. With the harvester, we can pick and crush in the same day. Winemaking starts the moment that fruit is picked. Now with the harvester we do not have to keep the muscadines and grapes cool until we get enough and we have less bruising.” For those that might say some fruit that is not ripe

gets into the mix, Watkins says it is not a problem. “The green fruit adds a little bit of acid to the wine,” Tim said. “I tend to make wines with a little bit of acid. I want them to go bam in your mouth.” The awards are still coming in for Whipporwill Vineyards. Since that first Finger Lakes competition in 2010, their wines have gone on to win more there and have won medals in Napa and Sonoma. This year, Whippoorwill Vineyards won 2 gold medals, two silver medals and Best of Show at the Inaugural Alabama Commercial Wine Competition. Whippoorwill is limited in how it can make its wines available. “It’s due to laws put into place back in the prohibition days,” Tim said. “We are limited to what we can do to get our wine out. I can’t take it to the chefs in the restaurants. We can sell it here at the winery, but we cannot ship it. We do sell it
to the Alabama Beverage Control Board and they have it in some of the local ABC stores. The restaurants can buy it there.” Until the laws change, the only way to get
Whippoorwill Vineyards wines is to visit their location just off Highway 14 between Reeltown and Notasulga Thursday, Friday or Saturday between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. or in local
ABC stores. Any other way of getting their wine is best described by the eldest Watkins. “Any other way – well that’s bootlegging,” Bobby said.

Wetumpka holds on for homecoming victory By Cory Diaz The Wetumpka Herald
Two weeks in a row, Wetumpka stopped its opponent in the red zone to preserve a win, as the defense stuffed Carroll-Ozark at the 8-yard line with 1:14 to go, holding on for a 34-27 homecoming victory at Hohenberg Field
Friday. After an errant snap on fourth-andseven at the WHS 43, the Eagles (2-5, 1-4) received a fresh set of downs at the 13. After the defense for 326 yards up to that point, the Indians (3-4, 3-2) stood tall, shutting down Carroll and forcing a turnover-on-downs at the 8. “To be as inexperienced as we are, to
win two games in a row as tight as they were -- you expect a team full of experienced players on the field to not get rattled in situations like that,” Wetumpka head football coach Tim Perry said. “You don’t really expect that with as many young guys as we’ve got playing. “With the errant snap, shortening the field right there. They had been hitting
some big plays on our defense, for our guys to step up for us two weeks in a row the defense with their backs against the wall. That’s a statement to the great job our defensive coaches do.” Carroll junior Clarence Roberts had 203 total offensive yards and three See TRIBE • Page 3

touchdowns and freshman running back Jonothan Fells had a game-high 22 carries for 163 yards and notched the region contest’s first strike, bursting through for 29 yards. Edward White added the PAT with 4:40 remaining in the opening period as the Eagles lead the Tribe 7-0. Wetumpka answered right back with a seven-play, 61 yard drive capped by junior running back Kavoisey Smoke’s 11-yard rushing score. Senior Will Digmon tied the game, 7-7, with the PAT at the 1:42 first quarter mark. Smoke finished the night with 15 attempts for 105 yards. On the opening play of the second quarter, Carroll junior quarterback Alex Reeves found Roberts on a 45-yard touchdown pass, putting the Eagles back on top, 14-7. After trading punts, Wetumpka drove the ball 83 yards on eight plays as junior running back DeAndre Williams scored his first of two touchdowns on the night from the offense’s “Heavy” formation from 23 yards out. Carroll’s Bobby Jones blocked the PAT allowing the Eagles to keep a 14-13 lead with 3:36 left in the first half. But that lead wouldn’t last long. After the Indian defense a three-andout, Wetumpka executed a 2-minute drill when senior quarterback Keldon Washington connected with Keedrick Adams on a 12-yard scoring strike with 30 ticks to go, giving its first lead of the game, 20-14, at halftime. After a scoreless third, Roberts found pay dirt for the second time with 9:18 left in the game, on a 2-yard run, but a missed PAT from White left the game
tied, 20-20. On the ensuing kickoff, WHS senior Rod Thrasher returned the kick 88 yards for a score, flipping the momentum back in the Indians’ favor. “We don’t have the depth or the numbers as the team we have to play and it showed on special teams,” Carroll head football coach Roger McDonald said. “When have some injuries -- I know everybody goes through injuries -- but when you only have 483 kids to choose from, it’s tough. They’ve played hard. We don’t have but five seniors. We were covering, but our guys were just dying, we’re out of bodies. There ain’t nothing you can do about it. They had some great players that made some great plays right there.” Fells broke open for a 58-yard big play, running down to the Wetumpka 21 on the Eagles’ next drive, setting up three-straight run from Roberts, the last being a 16-yard touchdown, his final score for the game, as he knotted things back up, 27-27. But another big kick return, this time from Williams, put to Trihe down on Carroll’s 16. Three plays later in “Heavy,” Williams powered his way in from seven yards, regaining WHS the lead, 34-27, with 4:47 left. “This is the first game we’ve had some explosive plays in our kickoff return, we’ve been close a couple times,” Perry said. “The kickoff return, they had the momentum, went down and scored and we flipped it and got the momentum back. Tonight, especially the second half, was such a game of momentum. We would get it, they would make a play and they would get it. In a game like that, your game got to keep making plays and remained focused. If not, the momentum could completely slip to other side.”

Central-Coosa 30, Beulah 14
Cougars capture third-straight win with Thursday romp over Beulah By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer
First-year Central-Coosa head coach Barry Simmons is fond of talking about buy-in when he discusses building a successful football program at Coosa County’s only high school. It appears that the buy-in is happening. The Cougars defeated Beulah 30-14 in a Class 3A, Region 3 contest at Central Stadium in Hanover Thursday night to run their record to 3-4 overall and 2-2 in region play. The win was the Cougars’ third straight. The last time the Cougars won three football games in a row was 2007, when they defeated Sylacauga, Holtville and Childersburg consecutively to open the season. The Central win was also its first-ever over Beulah in four tries. “I didn’t realize that we hadn’t won three straight in that long,” Simmons said after Thursday night’s win. “We’re just trying to focus on one game at a time and trying to get better every game. You know, we’ve done a lot of firsts around here this year. It’s exciting. It’s exciting to be a part of it and see these kids having fun with this. “We’ve got good buy-in right now. We talked about how big a game this was for our kids. I’m excited for them and how they played. It was a tough game tonight. We never got any consistency on offense and it seemed like we had a lot of penalties (Central was penalized 20 times and Beulah nine.) that held us back. But I’m proud of us for overcoming that and still being able to get the win after all the negatives that happened tonight.” After Beulah took a 6-0 lead on quarterback Trenton Lewis’ 1-yard run with 2:09 left in the first quarter, Central tied the game at 6-all on its first offensive play of the second quarter. An unsportsmanlike conduct call on the Cougars on the Beulah touchdown play allowed the Bobcats to kick off from the Coosa 45. The kick went into the end zone for a touchback, but Central drove 80 yards in just five plays, the touchdown coming when Cedarius Askew took a jet sweep around right end for 77 yards and a touchdown with 11:24 left in the first half. Rod Whetstone’s run for the two-point conversion made it 8-6 and the Cougars never trailed again. Beulah’s offense was held to threeand-out on the ensuing possession and Lewis punted the ball dead at the Central 1-yard line. Aided by three penalties – two offsides and a facemask – against the Bobcats, Central drove the length of the field, scoring on Raymond Graham’s 44-yard run off right tackle with 7:26 left in the half. Omar Gaddis ran for the conversion.
Cliff Williams / The Outlook
Central-Coosa’s Cedarius Askew (11) races past Beulah’s Ty McCants during Thursday night’s game at Central. Askew had 101 yards rushing on only three carries in Coosa’s 30-14 win.
Beulah put a drive together near the end of the half, largely behind the running and passing of Lewis, who rushed for 98 and threw for 114 yards on the night. After his 20-yard run around right end took the ball to the Central 19, the sophomore signalcaller then hit De’Javious Hunter on a 19-yard scoring strike and also ran for the Bobcats’ two-point conversion and Coosa led 16-14 at the half. After the Bobcats turned the ball over to Central on downs to begin the third quarter, the Cougars drove 43 yards in three plays to tack on eight more. After consecutive runs of 18 and 21 yards by Whetstone, Graham
hit Askew on a 9-yard scoring toss at the 9:09 mark in the third quarter and Gaddis ran for the conversion to give the Cougars a 24-14 lead. Central tacked on the game’s final points after Beulah turned the ball over on downs yet again, this time at its own 49. The Bobcats’ late hit on Whetstone gave Coosa a first-and-10 at the Beulah 32. Graham scrambled for 21 to the 11 before Whetstone ran for paydirt with 8:36 left in the game. The run for two failed. Graham and Whetstone led Central offensively, Whetstone rushing 19 times for 141 yards and Graham 16 times for 133 yards. Askew added 101
yards on just three carries. The Cougar defense proved salty as well, particularly in the second half. Led by linebacker Shakerian Hayes and defensive tackle Toney Davis, the Cougars allowed the visitors only 33 yards after halftime. Kemony Odem also had an interception of a Lewis pass for the Cougars. Next Friday, Central travels to Montgomery to play region foe Montgomery Academy, 5-1 overall and 3-0 in the region going into Friday night’s game at Midfield. Beulah hosts Prattville Christian (2-5 overall and 1-3 in the region with an open date Friday night) next Friday.

NEW SITE – The Horseshoe Bend Generals held a 7-6 lead after the first quarter, but the Ranburne Bulldogs reeled off 36 unanswered over the next three periods to take a 44-7 win on Friday at Battle Stadium. Jason Franklin, head coach of the Generals (0-7, 0-4 in Class 2A-Region 5), said Horseshoe Bend played with a lot of intensity early, but could not keep that energy for four quarters. “They’re a good football team. We knew coming in that they were going to be physical and that we had to match their intensity,” Franklin said. “I thought we did a good job of that early on being able to match the intensity, but we weren’t able to do that for four quarters. We gave up a few easy touchdowns and had a couple of missed opportunities to make something happen after forcing a turnover and we just didn’t do it. To beat good teams like that one, you have to be able to make those things happen.” The Bulldogs (6-1, 4-1 in Class 2A-Region 5) covered 80 yards in 40 seconds for the game’s first scoring, capping off their opening drive with a 17-yard touchdown run by Dalton Wiggins. But Horseshoe Bend’s Hunter White blocked the extra-point kick as the score set at 6-0 with 11:20 left in the first. The Generals responded on the
ensuing possession, finishing off a 71-yard, 12-play drive with a 28-yard touchdown run by Drew Hill. Caleb Bailey added the extra point to give Horseshoe Bend a 7-6 lead with 7:08 left in the first. Ranburne did not take the lead back until early in the second when Jacob Howle hit a 25-yard field goal to give the Bulldogs a 9-7 lead. The Bulldogs capitalized off the General’s mistakes, as Dalton Wiggins recovered a Horseshoe Bend fumble two plays into the next possession. Three plays later, Ranburne quarterback Dylan Wiggins ran 34 yards for a touchdown as the Howle extra point made it a 16-7 game with 8:35 left in the first half. Ranburne added to its lead with 56 seconds left in the first half, as Dylan Wiggins completed a 35-yard touchdown pass that was tipped into the hands of teammate Theodore Smith to make it 23-7 going into the break. Dylan Wiggins scored on a 14-yard run in the third quarter and threw a 14-yard touchdown to Landon Woodard in the fourth. Ranburne’s Jordan Beal ran for a 1-yard touchdown for the Bulldogs’ final score of the night late in the fourth. Horseshoe Bend’s Keith Hudson recovered a fumble on the night. Horseshoe Bend will take the field again Friday at Woodland in a region game.

Handley erupts in fourth to top Panthers By Tim Gayle For The Wetumpka Herald
For three quarters, the Handley-Elmore County game was the defensive struggle these two teams have come to expect when facing each other. Finally, Elmore County ran out of gas. Or out of luck. Or both. Handley scored three touchdowns in the final four minutes to turn a defensive battle into a rout, disposing of the Panthers 35-7 in a crucial Class 4A, Region 3 battle on Friday night. And while the Panthers may have struggled to stop the Tigers in the final few minutes, it was Elmore County’s offense that stalled when it mattered most, managing just 28 total yards and two first downs in the final 10 minutes while turning the ball over twice. “They’re real big on passing and I believe we took away their most important thing,” said Hadley junior Josh Hatcher. “Once we shut the pass down, they really didn’t have too much going for them.” Hatcher was the workhorse at tailback, picking up 61 yards on 10 carries, but it was his 13-yard scoring reception from Jeffrey Fetner with 3:24 left that finished off the Panthers, giving Handley a 21-7

lead. Two plays later Christion Allen grabbed a Will Venable pass in the flat and ran 22 yards to the end zone with the interception. Just four plays later, Allen would nab another Venable pass, the Elmore County quarterback’s fourth interception of the game. Spanky Watts then ran 90 yards up the middle for the Tigers’ final touchdown with 2:08 remaining, capping a 21-0 run in 76 seconds. “We’ve got a new coach (Larry Strain)
and he’s been working us hard in practice,” Hatcher said. “We work harder than any team in our region, I know we do. We just came out with a different mindset from last year because we’re trying to make it to state.” Elmore County appeared to strike first when Mikell Floyd used a block from Kentavious Cook to spring the Panther tailback for a 55-yard scoring play on a screen from Venable. But Cook was flagged for holding on the play and the Panthers would
punt three plays later. Handley used a 20-yard Venable punt to set up the only touchdown of the first half on a 13-yard pass from Fetner to Alvin Brown. The Tigers padded the lead on their first possession of the second half on a 2-yard run by Watts before Elmore County put together its only real drive of the game, scoring on a 4-yard run by Travis Rawls out of Wildcat formation to cap a 16-play, 66-yard drive. The Panthers would manage just 71 yards in the remaining 13 minutes of the game. “We’ve got 14 kids playing the whole game, going both ways,” Elmore County coach Norman Dean said. “I thought, having a shot to win it in the fourth quarter, we were hanging in there pretty good. But I think (Strain) told me they have 22 seniors and we have 11.” Handley (5-1) improved to 4-1 in Region 3 play and owns a half-game lead over Leeds, which defeated Dadeville 59-0 on Friday night. Both Elmore County (4-3) and Dadeville are 2-2 in region play and will face each other next week at Dadeville. “Our kids played hard,” Dean said. “Of course, the score is nowhere indicative of the game. We’ve got to regroup. We win these next two, we’re in the playoffs.”

Benjamin Russell 42, Chelsea 24
No. 6 Wildcats cruise to region win over Hornets By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor
The No. 6 Benjamin Russell Wildcats jumped out to a 21-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back, as they cruised to a 42-24 region win over the Chelsea Hornets on Thursday at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex. Benjamin Russell Coach Danny Horn said he was pleased to get a key region win that puts the Wildcats in good playoff position, but added he wanted to see a complete performance the entire game. “I thought we came out and played well, especially in the first half,” Horn said. “The problem I’ve got is with the second half. You can’t look at the scoreboard. You’ve got to go out and try to dominate every play regardless of what the score is. I was a little disappointed, especially on the defensive side. Of course, some of it was us having subs in, but we’ve got to compete better than that.” It took only two plays from scrimmage for the Wildcats (7-1, 3-1 in Class 6A-Region 3) to get on the scoreboard, as quarterback Tyre Gray found DeVee Herron for a 59-yard touchdown pass. The Sean Rape extra point gave BRHS a 7-0 lead with 11:13 left in the first. After forcing Chelsea (5-2, 2-2 in Class 6-Region 3) to punt on a threeand-out, Benjamin Russell finished off a seven play, 55-yard drive with a 31-yard touchdown run by Gray on the read option to make it a 14-0 game with 6:40 left in the first. Another Chelsea drive stalled after only five plays, and the Wildcats capped another short drive off with a 3-yard touchdown plunge up the middle by running back NeColby Maxwell, making it 21-0 with less than three minutes remaining in the first. The Hornets finally got on the board with 6:58 left in the second quarter after Jeffery Thomas hit a 25-yard field goal to make it 21-3. But the Wildcats responded on the ensuing possession, going 71

Reeltown 31, Woodland 6
Rebels blast Woodland for homecoming, region victory By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer
REELTOWN – With all the old grads in town for homecoming, Reeltown head coach Jackie O’Neal turned to an offensive youth movement to help lift the Rebels to a 31-6 Class 2A-Region 5 win over the Woodland Bobcats here at NixWebster-O’Neal Stadium on Friday night. Freshman quarterback Joseph Davis completed 11-of-14 passes for 195 yards and a touchdown and freshman running back Tray Hughley carried 18 times for 81 yards and two touchdowns to lead Reeltown (4-3 and 2-2 in the region) past the Bobcats (1-6 and 0-4 in the region). O’Neal said the move to the freshmen to lead the offensive attack was in part due to injuries, but was also intended as a wake-up call to some of his upperclassmen. “Injuries necessitated some of it,” O’Neal said. “Some of it, we just had to get a little jumpstart. We got more out of those guys than we’ve been getting out of the older guys. Sometimes you have to do some things to shake it up a little and get people to understand that if they don’t perform like they’re capable of performing, then they’re not going to be on the field. “It was probably a fifty-fifty thing. We had a lot of injuries. I was able to hold my running back (Cody Martin) out. He probably played about six plays the whole game. He was kind of hampered a little. We need to get back full speed because it’s not going to get any easier. We’ve got Randolph County next week and the week after that we’ve got Lanett.” Early on it looked like it could be a long night for the Rebels as Woodland penetrated to the Reeltown 7 in 13 plays on its first possession. But Ra Jerrian Wright’s sack of Bobcat quarterback Clayton Gay eight yards behind the line of scrimmage on fourth-and-goal forced Woodland to turn the ball over on downs at the Rebels’ 15. The Rebels responded with an 11-play
85-yard scoring drive with all but three yards accounted for by the running and passing of Hughley and Davis. Hughley scored the touchdown on a 14-yard scamper around left end and Kiyaski Taylor’s extra point gave Reeltown a 7-0 lead with 1:31 left in the first quarter. Reeltown’s second score was set up by one of three bad exchanges on the night between Gay and his running backs, the Rebels recovering all three resulting fumbles. Randy Woodyard fell on the first one for Reeltown at the Woodland 47. The Rebels possessed the ball for 11 plays, but finally were forced to settle for a 23-yard Taylor field goal and a 10-0 lead with 2:55 left in the half. After Clayton Gay and running back Axson Gay suffered yet another bad exchange at the Reeltown 33, Zac Thomas made the recovery for the Rebels, setting up another home team score. Five plays later, Davis hit Markez McCullough with a 20-yard scoring strike with 11 seconds left in the half. Taylor’s kick was again good and Reeltown took a 17-0 lead to intermission. O’Neal said Davis’ youthful inability to understand the magnitude of his role may have been his chief asset on the night. “He played real well tonight,” O’Neal said. “But when you’re a young kid and you’re back there sometimes you don’t even know the magnitude of the ballgame. You just get out there and play and that’s what he was doing. Of course, he’s got a lot of ability and I think he’s going to make a great quarterback down the road.” Woodland’s Gay, on the other hand, didn’t have such good luck. After the Bobcats had mounted a drive to the Reeltown 30 on their first third-quarter possession, his pass was plucked from the air by the Rebels’ Takoreyon Edwards and returned 90 yards to increase the Reeltown lead to 24-0 after Taylor’s PAT. Woodland head coach Randy Boyd was clearly frustrated with his team’s tendency to turn the ball over in the game. “We shot ourselves in the foot,” said

Boyd. “When you do that and you play a good, disciplined football team, you’re not going to recover. Before the game I told them that if we didn’t win the turnover battle, we weren’t going to win the football game. And we lost both the turnover battle and the game.” Reeltown saved its best drive for last, putting together a 79-yard march on 13 plays at the beginning of the game’s final period. The key play was a fourth-and-24 pass from Davis to McCullough from
the Woodland 42 to the Bobcats’ 7. Two plays later, Hughley went four yards up the middle of the Woodland defense to cap the night’s scoring. Reeltown travels to Wedowee next Friday night to play region foe Randolph County (6-0 and 3-0 in region play entering Friday night’s contest at LaFayette). Woodland hosts Horseshoe Bend (0-6 and 0-3 in the region entering Friday night’s game with Ranburne) in a region contest.

Edgewood 61, Northside-Methodist 16

Edgewood aerial attack too much for Northside By Kevin Taylor The Wetumpka Herald
Looking at the stats there wasn’t much for No. 8 Northside-Methodist to hang its hat on after dropping a lopsided 61-18 game to No. 1 Edgewood Academy at Storrs Field Friday night. The most perplexing stat of all was the time of possession. Northside-Methodist (5-2) had the ball for 30 minutes and mustered 18 points, while the Wildcats (8-0) had the ball for 18 minutes and scored 61 points. Like in all but one game so far this season, Edgewood put the game on ice by intermission. The Wildcats jumped out to a 48-0 lead by the half and put it on cruise control for the remainder of the game to claim the region title. Edgewood’s aerial attack was just too much for Northside-Methodist to handle. Starting quarterback Nathan Rourke completed 13-of-16 passes for 260 yards and four touchdowns, while backup quarterback Tripp Carr was 8-for-8 for 110
yards and two more scores. “Nathan he’s like a coach on the field and makes great decisions and has unbelievable weapons to throw to,” Edgewood Coach Bobby Carr said. By night’s end, Jackson Tate hauled in seven passes for 208 yards and 2 touchdowns. Northside, behind the blocking of one of the largest offensive lines in the Alabama Independent School Association, finished the night with 174 yards on 35 rushing attempts. “Defensively they moved the gall a tad bit against our first team,” Carr said. “They were way bigger and ran down hill well, especially against our younger guys.” The few times Edgewood needed to run the ball it resulted in touchdowns. Jackson Tate got the scoring started for the Wildcats with 9:48 left in the opening quarter on a 2-yard burst. Rourke later found Khalid Young from a yard out and Maurice Young from a yard out before hitting Tate on a 22-yard strike to give Edgewood a 28-0 lead going into
the second quarter. Tyler Price, who led the Wildcats in rushing with 40 yards on six carries, found paydirt from a yard out. Jordan Roberts also tacked on a rushing TD from a yard out, while Rourke closed out his
night with a 10-yard connection to Tate for the 48-0 lead heading into the locker room. Edgewood closes out its region slate next Friday night when it travels to Lanett to face Springwood.

Tribe edges, eliminates Stanhope from playoffs By Kevin Taylor The Wetumpka Herald
There was nothing to argue after a game like Stanhope Elmore played Friday night. The only question was if the 60 points the Mustangs rolled up on their new scoreboard was the most scored in a game in school history. Not quite. Stanhope Elmore scored 63 in 2005 against a horrible Northside team. But no matter how many points the Mustangs scored Friday night, coach Jeff Foshee will take anything as long as it’s one point better. There wasn’t much left for Stanhope Elmore running back BJ Smith to do after being named the homecoming king and rushing for four touchdowns to put the Mustangs in the win column for the first time all season. “Four touchdowns or no touchdowns, I’m just glad we got the monkey off our backs and got a win,” Smith said. “We knew this was going to be a big game with all the alumni coming back, and we wanted to play well for them.”
Stanhope Elmore quarterback Tanner Anderson (8) sprints out to avoid the rush from a Russell County defender Friday night.
Stanhope Elmore had little to no problems to effectively move the ball down the field against a hapless Warrior defense. The Mustangs jumped out to a 20-0 lead before Russell County scored its only touchdown of the game. Jurmorris McMillon scored his first of two touchdowns by sprinting into
the end zone from 15 yards out to give Stanhope Elmore a 6-0 lead. Smith then rattled off a 41- and a 44-yard burst for touchdowns by just running straight through the Warrior defense. After Russell County scored, Stanhope Elmore answered right back and then continued to put the game out of reach.
Quarterback Tanner Anderson dove into the end zone from 3 yards out. The Mustangs added another score following a Russell County interception. Kareem Jackson broke free for 33 yards for a score before, Smith added his third rushing touchdown of the half with an 8-yard run. “He’s just a special player who plays yard every snap,” said Mustangs coach Jeff Foshee about Smith. Smith closed out his night early in the second half with a 21-yard TD run. McMillion then found paydirt again with 54 seconds left in the third by returning a punt 47 yards for the score. Backup quarterback Tripper Warlick put the finishing touches on the game with a 6-yard pass to Logan Swindle with 6:12 left to play to give the Mustangs their first win of the season. “I’m glad to have this win. It’s big,” Smith added. “Now we just need to play these next two games like they are playoff games to finish out the year strong.” Stanhope Elmore hits the road next week to face Carroll-Ozark before closing the season at home against Park Crossing.

Tallassee 47, Marbury 12
Tallassee cruises to road victory, spoils Marbury’s homecoming By Jim Plott For The Tallassee Tribune
PINE LEVEL- Tevin Brooks ran for three touchdowns to pace the Tallassee Tigers in a 47-12 win over the Marbury Bulldogs on their homecoming Friday night. The Tigers waited until late in the first quarter to put up their first points, but broke loose before the half ended. The Tigers (5-2, 3-1) led the Bulldogs 34-7 at the break. Marbury, which has been winless since its first two game fell to 2-6 and winless in the region. “We came out and got the job done,” said Tallassee coach Mike Battles. “The game went like we wanted. We wanted to control it and get some points. Our defense played well. (Marbury) throws the ball and have a lot of combinations, but we made some big plays with special teams. We were able to play some young kids so it was a good night.” Kiwanis Woods, who led the Tigers with 145 yards on six carries, set up the Tigers’ first touchdown when he blasted 53 yards down the sideline. Two plays later, Tevin Brooks, who finished with 114 yards on 10 carries, scored from two yards out. A series later, Tallassee defender Zeryes Rivers recovered a Marbury fumble to set the Tigers up at the Bulldog four. Brooks scored two plays later and Casey Baynes ran for the two-point conversion to give Tallassee a 14-0 lead with three seconds left in the first quarter. Marbury put their passing game in gear midway through the second quarter to score on a 43-yard completion from Brayden Baggett to Quinton Sutton, but the PAT was blocked and the Bulldog offense remained shut down until the final seconds of the game. Tallassee was just beginning. On the first play after the Marbury score Brooks jaunted 46 yards for a score and the two-point conversion put the Tigers up 22-6 with 5:48 remaining in the half. Woods followed up a short time later with an 82-yard touchdown run and Brooks scored on a one-yard run a short time later. Jamarcus Miller ran back a kickoff 55 yards to open up the half to increase Tallassee’s lead to 40-6 with only 18 seconds ticked off the thirdquarter clock. Brooks scored on an 11-yard run to open the fourth quarter and Tallassee was able to make the extra point to close out its scoring. The Tigers will face Beauregard next week in Tallassee. Marbury will have a week off to lick their wounds and then they will face Beauregard.

Leeds 59, Dadeville 0
Tigers fall at Leeds, drop third straight By Drew Champlin AL.com
LEEDS – Tre Nation ran for 135 yards and three touchdowns, setting a Leeds school record for career rushing yards as the Green Wave crushed visiting Dadeville 59-0. Nation, who had no idea he was close to the record until he was informed, needed 124 to surpass Robert Williams, who had 6,126 coming in. He was recognized in the third quarter after breaking the record. He scored on touchdowns of 18, 33 and 2 yards. “It was a great win,” Nation said. “The team came out here and executed plays. The line blocked a real good game.” This was Leeds’ fifth straight win since starting out 1-2, and Dadeville’s third straight loss after losing star quarterback Shawn Jennings to a knee injury on Sept. 25. “I thought we played well,”
Leeds coach Keith Etheredge said. “We took care of the football and that was big. We caused some turnovers and I think that hurt them. It made it look worse than it probably was.” Tadarryl Marshall had a 5-yard touchdown run and threw a 38-yard touchdown pass to Toren Pollard. Pollard scored on a 9-yard run. Leeds got two defensive touchdowns within 24 seconds of each other late in the first half to take a 49-0 lead into the break. Koi Freeman had an 18-yard interception return and Arthur Patton scored on a 15-yard fumble return. The fumble was caused by Josephus Smith. Morgan Coston kicked eight extra points and hit a 35-yard field goal for Leeds. Leeds is at Childersburg next week while Dadeville hosts Elmore County.
