No rush for same-sex marriage licenses in Tallapoosa By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

The rush of same-sex couples that some predicted would be seeking marriage licenses in Alabama may have been real in some areas of Alabama, but Tallapoosa County has not seen any such deluge. According to Tallapoosa County Probate Court Judge Leon Archer, only two marriage licenses for same-sex couples have been issued here since they first became legal last June. “We’ve had a few other calls, but we’ve just had the two licenses that we have actually issued,” Archer said. “We didn’t expect that there would be a lot. Our county isn’t one for destination weddings, but we’ve had no issues.” A United States Supreme Court ruling legalized same-sex marriage on June 26. That final word on the subject followed several months of legal wrangling as probate judges and state officials tried to sidestep an earlier federal

Training Day Alexander City residents may have noticed a plume of smoke in the air near Highway 280 Friday. The Alexander City Fire Department burned a house on Lindsay Road to help clear a dilapidated structure while training new personnel. The firefighters worked inside in smoke-filled rooms, learning how to attack in various situations before the house was fully engulfed in flames. Once the structure was fully ablaze, they concentrated on attack patterns and techniques.

County’s jobless rate at an 8-year low Tallapoosa posts 6 percent unemployment rate in September By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Unemployment in Tallapoosa County fell to the lowest rate since May of 2008 in September, dropping to 6 percent unemployment rate according to data released Friday. The local rate fell from the 6.2 percent rate posted in August and significantly lower than the 6.7 percent unemployment rate posted by the county in September 2007. Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance Executive Director Don McClellan said the news was welcome, especially after the years of job losses in the wake of Russell Corp.’s downsizing. “That is definitely good news and it’s encouraging that we do have some good things happening here,” McClellan said. “Since 2002, we have 3,200 new jobs here with 16 new companies and 15 expansion projects.” See JOBS, Page 9

Within the next month or so, Alexander City’s chapter of Habitat for Humanity will complete its 15th home since 1993, according to Jan Landers, chapter president. That’s shelter for 15 grateful families who might not have otherwise been able to afford it. “A Habitat home usually is for three people, some two, some more,” said Landers. “So, over the years, we’ve provided housing for 45-50 people here in our community. Currently, Habitat is putting the finishing touches on a home at 433 12th Ave. Landers said anyone inter-

ested in volunteering could drop by on Tuesday or Thursday mornings when crews are doing the work. “We’re sort of down to the finishing touches, but there may be some things people can do,” Landers said. Habitat for Humanity International was founded in 1976 by Auburn University alumnus Millard Fuller and his wife, Linda. Today, Habitat for Humanity is a true world leader in addressing the issues of poverty housing. The concept that grew into Habitat for Humanity International was born at Koinonia Farm, a small, interracial, Christian community outside of Americus, Georgia. Koinonia Farm See HABITAT, Page 2

Bentley announces plan to reopen offices on limited basis Staff Report Outlook Staff

After three weeks of public outcry, Alabama Governor Robert Bentley announced a plan late Friday to reopen 31 shuttered drivers license offices on a limited basis. Bentley released this statement regarding the status of ALEA rural driver’s license offices at 5:01 p.m. Friday afternoon “After careful consideration of options regarding the closure of 31 Driver’s License offices in Alabama’s rural counties, I have asked that an Alabama Law Enforcement Agency examiner be provided one day a month to service those counties affected,” the release stated. “On Thursday, I met with Congresswoman Terri Sewell, who represents eight of the impacted counties, to inform her of my decision. “I recognize the closure of the 31 driver’s license See OFFICES, Page 9

DEAR ABBY: I have been dating “Colton� for six months. He’s a year and a half older than I am and just started college. I’m still in high school. Recently, my parents have begun putting restrictions on us, limiting us to one date a week, under four hours long and in a group situation. They like Colton, but they’re worried I’ll miss out on my friends and high school events. We have obeyed their restrictions, but the time limit they have set is too short for many date activities, and getting a group together is nearly impossible. I agree I should balance my time, but I think their rules are too rigid because there are no exceptions. I know my parents care about me, but I’m looking for a little more freedom and the ability to make my own choices. My parents agreed that if I could find other people who thought this situation was in some way unreasonable,

they would reconsider some of the rules. So I’m wondering what your opinion is, Abby. -- RESTRICTED IN SALT LAKE CITY DEAR RESTRICTED: In my opinion, it is very important that your primary concern -- and Colton’s, too -- should be earning good grades and completing your education. Both of your futures depend upon it. That said, if there are special events coming up that you and Colton would like to share, the curfew should be adjusted on a case-by-case basis.

When I visit, every single adult’s attention is on the boys and no real conversation ensues. When I grew up, kids were not a part of adult time. How can I let them know their kids are so unruly I can hardly communicate with them anymore?

The noisiness is preferable, because when the kids become very quiet, they are usually doing something they’re not supposed to. Because the noise your

was founded in 1942 by farmer and biblical scholar Clarence Jordan. The Fullers first visited Koinonia in 1965. They had recently left a successful business and an affluent lifestyle in Montgomery to begin a new life of Christian service. At Koinonia, Jordan and Fuller developed the concept of “partnership housing.� The concept centered on those in need of adequate shelter working side by side with volunteers to build simple, decent houses. Thousands of lowincome families have found new hope in the form of affordable housing through Habitat. Churches, community groups and others have joined together to build or repair over 1 million homes, serving more than 5 million people worldwide. Landers said Alex City Habitat tries to build one home per year. She said homes are not gifts to the recipients, but Habitat

International currently requires the family to pay the cost (not including volunteer labor or in-kind donations) via a 20-year low-interest loan. Lake Martin Area United Way pays $5,000 annually toward the building of a Habitat home in Alexander City. Landers also encouraged area residents to watch for an announcement of a blessing for the current house and to come out for the blessing, to see the house and to meet the family the home is being built for. The Lake Martin Area United Way needs your support to reach its campaign goal and help the 26 agencies it supports, including Alexander City Habitat for Humanity. You can send your donation to Lake Martin Area United Way, P.O. Box 876, Alexander City, AL 35011 or give at their office at 17-B Main Street in Alexander City.

It’s a great time to be in Alabama

Our

Opinion

Let’s hope River Bank is the start of a trend

R

iver Bank & Trust is off to a good start in Alexander City. Its ribbon-cutting event Thursday drew a large, interested and supportive crowd. River Bank, which is building at the corner of the new Central Blvd. and Highway 280 on the old Russell Campus – across the highway from the Russell Retail Store – is the first new construction in the rejuvenated business park. The bank is now open for business in a temporary building at the same site, where the ribbon cutting ceremony was held. And we hope it is the first of many more ribbon cuttings to come on the former Russell Campus. River Bank President Jimmy Stubbs told those gathered outside the temporary bank Thursday that River Bank is a community bank and aims to operate as such in the Alexander City Community. Long-time Alexander City banker Randy Dawkins, the new office manager at River Bank, hosted the ceremony. River Bank & Trust also serves the Montgomery and Prattville markets with two branches each city, as well as a fifth branch in Wetumpka. In May, the bank announced that it was merging with Keystone Bank, which operates in Gadsden, Auburn and Opelika. Members of both boards of directors attended the Alexander City opening Thursday. Alexander City’s new location seems to fit right in as River Bank continues to grow in east and central Alabama. We would like to offer Stubbs, Dawkins, Abby Guy and all the Alexander City River Bank employees the best of luck in their new venture here.

T

his is the time of year when every Alabama resident should stop whatever they are doing inside and go outside. The leaves are just starting to turn yellow, orange and red. The sky clear, crisp azure. The lake is absolutely gorgeous – lots of different colors reflected in a slowly moving mirror that is rarely broken by a passing wake. Sunsets are brilliant this time of year, I saw one this week that was so red and so glowing it looked like the forest was on fire. It wasn’t. Mosquitos are almost gone, deer flies and horseflies are gone, chiggers and ticks are way, way down this time of year. Wildlife is active now, small flocks of birds are moving through in waves, many critters are scurrying around preparing for winter and we still have plenty of wildflowers and butterflies throughout the forests. There’s just not a better time to be outside in Alabama. And there are plenty of opportunities right now. I’ve been running trails lately and the temperature is just perfect in the morning now, a real pleasure after the draining heat of summer. The Russell Forest trails, the trails at Windcreek State Park, the short trail at the Alexander City Sportplex and the circle around

KENNETH BOONE Publisher

Horseshoe Bend National Military Park are all good choices, as are the more challenging CRATA hiking trails around Lake Martin. All are comfortable, enjoyable walks and now is the best time to be in the Alabama woods. If you want to give yourself a real treat, hike up to the top of Smith Mountain and climb the fire tower – there’s not a better place in Tallapoosa County to see the leaves changing around Lake Martin. Bow season for whitetail deer opens today, and for hunters used to shivering in treestands, this weekend’s weather will be down in the 40s at night, up in the high 60s and low 70s during the day. I will be planting the last green fields at our hunting camp on Sunday … probably too late but hey, it’s a great excuse to get outside without a bow. If you haven’t planted a fall garden, it’s probably past time for seeds. However, this weekend would be a perfect time to set out the greens of winter: kale, collards, mustards and turnips, as well as broccoli and Brussels sprout and cabbage. I enjoy raising salad greens this time of year

and my favorite has been Radicchio, also called leaf chicory or Italian chicory. It makes a terrific salad when it’s young and green, and it’s just as good after it heads up and turns red. Arugula – also called rocket, is currently in second place on my salad greens list. And parsley – the most versatile herb – grows great this time of year as well. If you do set out those salad greens this weekend, you might want to put some PVC pipe hoops across your bed so you can cover it before the first frosts of winter. If you’d rather be on the water than on the land, now is a wonderful time for a boat ride or a fishing trip on Lake Martin. I was out in a boat four times this week and the temperatures are delightful, the water is smooth and still pretty high and there is very little traffic. It’s my favorite time to be out on Lake Martin. For the fishermen out there, I saw a number of striper boats in bottom of the Lake Martin U this week, and I saw/ heard stripers and bass slamming minnows on the surface. One striper leaped right beside my boat and landed with such a loud clap I’m pretty sure my feet came cleared the deck. Get out there this weekend. Boone is publisher of The Outlook.

Letters to the Editor

Macon County has suffered enough, reopen VictoryLand Dear Editor, Billy Ray Wall

James Spann

Thomas Goss

The people in Macon County have suffered tremendously for years now. There is no reason to have close VictoryLand. I’m praying that the U.S. Attorney General will come to Alabama after Representative Teri Sewell wrote her a letter. If only she knew how serious things have gotten around here in this state. You cannot have two sets of laws. (Our laws were) designed to work for all people. We have to beg the Governor and he sitsback and does nothing. That tells you he’s been bought, too. When they break the law they put up barriers so it won’t be undone, but justice “awaits” those that wear suits and ties and think the law doesn’t apply to them. I want to know the real answer here: Why was VictoryLand and other facilities targeted? I say it was the same reason they closed driving license offices in areas. You do the math. Who lives in those

areas? Black people struggling to make it. When all you hear is the young black men are sorry and won’t work. Now people have awakened and are seeing the truth for the first time and it is ugly. But we see it everyday and live it. So people can see the things first hand when we talk about it. It’s real and it happened. So I hope the young people are still focused, because history will repeat itself. So I welcome the United State Attorney General Ms. Loretta Lynch and the Justice Department to come in and investigate and prosecute those that have broken the law and abused their positions for greed. The people demand VictoryLand be reopened and all their machines and money returned and go after Luther Strange for the damage he has done to the (Milton McGregor’s) place.

court ruling. Archer said the issue prior to the Supreme Court ruling was conflicting information and a lack of direction given to the state’s probate court judges. As soon as the ruling was handed down, Archer said they had forms ready and remain ready to treat them just as they would any marriage license request. Exact data on how many same-sex marriage licenses have been issued in Alabama wasn’t available Friday, but 2010 Census data indicated that there were 6,582 same-sex couples living in Alabama at that time. The best data found through Internet searches was that about 2,100 same-sex marriage licenses have been issued in Alabama since July. Archer said the only issue that the county has experienced was a question as to which name would be used. “We had to do a little research and get some guidance, but like we thought, it can be either name,” Archer said. “You can take the name of either partner or you can keep your own. We’ve even had a call about a same-sex divorce. We don’t do divorces, so we referred them to the court clerk’s office. But other than that, we haven’t had any real problems.”

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHHH Keep reaching out to someone whom you would like to get to know better. You could surprise others with your willingness to take oɈ on an adventure. You have a lot of energy, so use it well. You might have a secret admirer. Look around. Tonight: Opt for diɈerent. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Reach out to a dear friend whom you care a lot about. You have been gaining insights when relating to this person, and today will be no diɈerent. One-on-one relating proves to be unusually fulĂ„lling. You have energy and intent when relating to this person. Tonight: Dinner for two. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH If you rein in your need to be the alpha dog, friends will make plans that include you. Although you like to have more control, you’ll delight in the roller coaster ride that they have unintentionally provided. You could have a ball. Tonight: Keep on going. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH You could be in a situation where you feel the need to change direction. Know that an unexpected oɈer or situation might force you in a new direction anyway. You likely will be surprised by an older relative who seems to have forgotten his or her age. Tonight: As you like it. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could be oɈ having a great time, enjoying a special person in your life. You can’t seem to give this person enough time. Use today to devote your attention to this person. As a result, you will see the tension that has existed between you dissolve. Tonight: Very playful. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You put your best foot forward, no matter what you do or whom you are with. You have a great deal of sensitivity and energy. A conversation reveals a diɈerent perspective about a major purchase. You could be surprised by what happens if you negotiate. Tonight: Invite friends over.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Pick up the phone and catch up on news with a friend. You might opt to meet someone for a late lunch and/or a movie. Listen to your sixth sense regarding a loved one. Perhaps you have been making judgments that are not valid. Tonight: Hang out with a favorite person. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Understand that extremes won’t help you with your Ă„nances or with an emotional situation. You have been replaying a scenario over and over in your mind, but you haven’t come up with a viable way to proceed. Test out a few ideas on a friend. Tonight: Make it your treat. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH You could feel tense, as you know you must make an important appearance with a parent or boss. You will do what is needed, and gracefully at that. Catch up on friends’ news. You could be delighted by what you hear. Make plans that keep you close to home. Tonight: Be gracious. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Be willing to reach out to someone at a distance. The conversation you have could be unusually meaningful to both of you. Make plans to get together in the near future. Buy tickets to a concert or a special event. Tonight: Relax in a very diɈerent environment. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH You’ll have a choice to make between hanging out with friends and getting together with a special person in your life. Don’t overthink this decision. Allow a little more closeness into your life. Someone might have exciting news to share. Tonight: Choose a favorite stressbuster. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might confuse a friend or partner without intending to. You could be overtired and be delighted to have someone else take the lead. However, you still might not be able to just hang at home and veg, as a project demands your attention. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Jobs McClellan pointed to SL Alabama as a prime example. The LMAEDA helped them this year with a new parking lot because they have added so many new employees. The manufacturer now has about 935 employees including 43 new managers hired this summer alone. The local numbers are in step with the Alabama figures. The office of Gov. Robert Bentley released information showing that the seasonally adjusted September unemployment rate is 6.0 percent, down from August’s rate of 6.2 percent and below August 2014’s rate of 6.3 percent. “We are extremely pleased to see a decrease in our unemployment rate this month,” Bentley said in a released statement. “We are seeing steady improvement, especially in our wage and salary employment. Our economy is supporting more jobs than it has all year. Just this week, we have announced 470 new future jobs for two Alabama communities. Our efforts will continue until Alabama reaches full employment.” Wage and salary employment in

Northview 30, Wetumpka 28

Wetumpka junior running back Kavoisey Smoke braces for a tackle against Northview Friday at Rip Hewes Stadium.

Indians fall short in comeback at Northview By Jeremy Wise Dothan Eagle

In a game pitting two teams with even records who looked evenly matched, it may have been fitting a special teams miscue made the difference. A poor Wetumpka punt snap led to a Northview safety, eventually the difference in a 30-28 victory for the Cougars over the Indians Friday at Rip Hewes Stadium. With the victory, the Cougars (4-4, 4-2) clinched a playoff spot for the first time since 2000. When the finals seconds ticked off the clock, the Cougars’ sideline erupted into a wild celebration. “It’s indescribable. It’s so much joy – I want to cry tears of joy,” senior wide receiver Kedryan Wilson said. “We’re fixing to roll up the tree (on campus).” The Cougars’ venture to the playoffs came despite a hard charge from the Indians (3-5, 3-3), who fell behind by nine by halftime in part to that misplayed punt snap. With the game tied at 7, the snap sailed over John Ellis Rawls’ head, and he opted to boom the ball well out of Rip Hewes Stadium for a safety. That gave

the Cougars a 9-7 lead with 4:46 left in the first half. Wilson returned the free punt from the Northview 40 to the Wetumpka 41, and the Cougars parlayed the short field into more points. Northview marched the distance in five plays, scoring on a 6-yard touchdown rush from Rod Melton to go up 15-7. The extra point to make it 16-7 -a two-possession game – from Coby Neenan was good. “We’ve got to win the special teams battle,” Cougars head coach LaBrian Stewart said. “We had some great returns. We had the safety. It’s our goal to win the special teams battle.” On the first play of its second drive of the half, Nicholas McCarthy burst through the left side and rushed 74 yards to paydirt, extending Northview’s lead to 23-7 with 8:10 remaining in the third period. But the Indians, with playoff implications of their own on the line, battled back. Kavosiey Smoke tallied a 3-yard rushing touchdown on the ensuing drive, cutting Northview’s advantage to 23-13. Quarterback Keldon Washington added

the two-point conversion on a dive to the pylon, pulling the Indians within a score. On the next drive, the Indians’ special teams kept the game close when they blocked a 23-yard field goal attempt. Wetumpka eventually pulled closer when DeAndre Williams plunged in from a yard out with 11:29 left in the game. The Cougars stuffed Washington’s run to the pylon on the two-point conversion, leaving the score at 23-21. The Cougars responded with a perfect drive, marching 61 yards in 11 plays and burning almost six minutes of clock. “It would help a lot to get the first downs that we needed to keep the ball,” Wilson said of the passing game. “(The Indians) run the ball a lot, and it makes the game go by fast – and we needed the score.” Northview got that score when Wilson took a direct snap and bowled over the goal line from 2 yards out. With the extra point, Northview led 30-21 with 5:47 to go. The Indians came fighting back, though, thanks to Smoke. Smoke caught a 13-yard pass before firing a halfback pass to Rod Thrasher for

37 yards. Smoke finished the drive with a 6-yard touchdown, helping Wetumpka slice the Cougars’ lead to 30-28 with 4:32 left. Northview managed to burn plenty of clock, but left 1:03 for the Indians to mount one final drive. The Cougars’ pass defense sealed everything up, and once the final Wetumpka pass fell incomplete, the Cougar sideline erupted in joy. Wetumpka led 7-0 thanks to a 10-yard touchdown pass from Washington to Keedrick Adams on the Indians’ first drive. Northview tied the game early in the second quarter on a 3-yard touchdown run from Wilson – the drive before Wetumpka had a poor punt snap. Tyler Marshall was sharp passing, going 11-of-15 for 146 yards. Terrell Harris led the receiving corps with three catches for 75 yards. McCarthy led the Cougars ground attack with 98 yards and a score on eight carries. Melton added 91 and a score on 19 totes. For Wetumpka, Washington was 11-of17 passing for 99 yards and a score. He added 48 yards rushing to back Smoke’s 22-carry, 141-yard performance.

Margarious Buchanan, who accounted for 44 of Dadeville 50 point, blows throw a big hole on his way to a 5-yard touchdown run in the first half. The run gave the Tigers an 8-7 lead at the time.

Tigers take control of postseason destiny with home win By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

After three weeks of frustration as the Dadeville starting quarterback, Margarious Buchanan went beast mode Friday night, leading the Tigers to a 50-27 win over Elmore County. Buchanan rushed 24 times for 251 yards, ran for five touchdowns, threw for one score, had four two-point conversions, was 5-for-8 passing for 100 yards and intercepted a pass on defense as the Tigers snapped a threegame losing skid. Buchanan keyed an offense that was fueled by great play by the offensive line and moved the ball at will, especially in the second half. “It had been a rough spell, but they kind of grew up tonight,” Dadeville Coach Richard White said. “The offensive line just blocked their tails off and Buchanan is finally starting

to get a little more comfortable back there. “It was a tough situation and it just takes time. But tonight the offense started clicking and that was as good a job running the football as we’ve had in a while. I don’t know how many yards we had, but it was a bunch, I can tell you that.” The Tigers rolled up a whopping 472 yards on the ground and 572 yards total offense. D.J. Pearson added 157 yards on 20 carries and had the Tigers other touchdown on the night. More importantly than the gaudy numbers, the win assured Dadeville at least the No. 4 spot when the playoffs begin. The Tigers (4-4, overall and 3-2 4A, Region 3) broke up a game that was tied 14-14 at the half with a 37-point second half. Buchanan had scoring runs of 28, 20 and 24 yards and had a 26-yard touchdown pass to

Zander McClendon in the second half. Pearson had a 15-yard scoring run in the third quarter in the Tigers scoring frenzy. The first half was very different. Elmore County (4-4 overall and 2-3 in 4A, Region 3) had taken a 7-0 lead on the first play of the second quarter. Kell Floyd lined up at quarterback in the Wildcat formation and blasted straight ahead for a 3-yard touchdown. Joshua Stockman’s kick made it 7-0 with 11:54 remaining in the period. Dadeville answered quickly, going 86 yards in just eight plays. The big play was a 34-yard pass from Buchanan to Caleb Jones. Buchanan took it the final seven yards for a touchdown and added a two-point conversion with a nifty run off right tackle. The Tigers were up 8-7 with 8:29 left in the half. Dadeville added to the lead with an impressive 10-play, 88-yard drive minutes later. Buchanan carried the

ball six times and completed a 16-yard pass to Dartavious Pearson. It was Buchanan doing it himself to cap the drive with a 5-yard touchdown run, putting the Tigers ahead 14-7 with 2:23 left in the half. Elmore County had perhaps its best drive of the half to tie the score. The Panthers drove 63 yards in seven plays with quarterback Will Venable hitting Johnnie Jasper for a 24-yard touchdown with just 0:12 seconds before intermission. Jasper also added a 28-yard touchdown catch from Venable in the fourth quarter and Travis Rawls had a 2-yard scoring run for the Panthers, but they could not catch up with Dadeville. Floyd had 101 yards on 24 carries to pace the Panthers, while Venable finished 17 of 28 passing for 209 yards for Elmore County. Dadeville will travel to face Handley next Friday in Roanoke, while Elmore County will be at Childersburg.

The win keeps the Tigers undefeated at 8-0 going in to next Friday’s date with Horseshoe Bend and drops Reeltown to 4-4, forcing the Rebels into a must-win situation to make the playoffs versus Lanett at Nix-Webster-O’Neal Stadium in Reeltown next week. “You find out a lot about yourself when you’re between a rock and a hard place,” said Reeltown head coach Jackie O’Neal. “But really it was going to be the same situation next week regardless of the outcome of this game. There’s going to be a tiebreaker between us and Lanett. We beat them and we win the tiebreaker, they win and they win the tiebreaker. We want to win the ballgame next week because we want to win every ballgame we play.” Randolph County head coach Patrick Prestridge saw his team go to work after a slow start. “We started kind of slow, but we turned it on right there a few times,” Prestridge said. “Right there at the end, we really didn’t want to run the ball and didn’t want to throw the ball, didn’t want to score.

“But I’m proud of our guys. Recco had a big game. The offensive line had a good game blocking. (Quarterback) John Mark (Prestridge) had a good game throwing the ball. That’s just one more.” O’Neal came away impressed with Randolph County and Hannah, in particular, as well. “They’re a real good football team,” O’Neal said. “They do everything well and we are still suffering some from injuries. We just can’t get things right. But Hannah’s a great running back. He had a great game running the ball and made a big defensive play, too.” O’Neal was referring to Hannah’s stop for a six-yard loss of Rebel running back Cody Martin on fourthand-1 at the Randolph County 29. At the time, the Tigers led 28-7 and the Rebels were driving to pull within 14 near the end of the third quarter. Instead, Hannah stopped Martin behind the line and three plays later the big Tiger runner dashed around left end for 42 yards and a touchdown and, with the PAT, Randolph County stretched the lead to 35-7. No. 7 Randolph County drove 81 yards in a grinding drive for its first score. A 14-yard pass play from Prestridge to Hannah to open the drive got 14 yards. Hannah later got 13 more, carrying from the Reeltown 43 to the Rebel 30 on a draw play. Finally, with 10:55 left in the second quarter, Prestridge hit Hannah on a wheel route from the Reeltown 21 See REBELS, Page 7

Benjamin Russell 53, Valley 0

No. 6 Wildcats pitch shutout for dominant region win over Valley By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

VALLEY – The Benjamin Russell Wildcats were dominant on both sides of the ball, pitching their first shutout of the season to take a 53-0 win on the road at the Valley Rams in region play on Friday. From start to finish, starters to backups, Benjamin Russell Coach Danny Horn said the No. 6 Wildcats (8-1, 4-1 in Class 6A-Region 3) put together their first complete performance of the season. “I think we finally played four quarters,” Horn said. “I’m proud of the second and third team. They came in and did a really good job. I think this was probably our first, complete four-quarter game of the year.” After a 65-yard touchdown run by BRHS quarterback Tyre Gray was called back, the Wildcats were still able to bounce back and score on their first drive of the game. A 35-yard pass from Gray to Latravious Kelley set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Chase Burton with 6:08 left in the first. The Wildcats pulled off a trick play on the extra point, as holder Cameron Caldwell flipped the ball over his shoulder to kicker Sean Rape, who threw it to a wide-open Jacob Rogers for the 2-point conversion to make it 8-0. The Wildcats added to their lead with Gray rushing up the away sideline and cutting back across the field for an 82-yard touchdown run to make it 15-0 BRHS with 1:06 left in the opening quarter. Later in the second, a 3-yard touchdown run by NeColby Maxwell finished off a 53-yard drive and extended the lead to 22-0 with 7:45 left in the first half. The Wildcats added two more scores before the break, as an 18-yard scoring run by Maxwell and a 24-yard field goal by Rape sent Benjamin Russell into the locker room leading 32-0.

Beauregard 33, Tallassee 7

Beauregard junior free safety Zachary Feaster intercepts a pass in front of Tallassee senior tight end Jeremy Noah during Friday’s region tussle at J.E. “Hot” O’Brien Stadium.

Beauregard bullies Tallassee, wins region title By Tom Green Opelika-Auburn News

The risk was worth the reward for Beauregard at Hot O’Brien Stadium. Thanks to a pair of big fourth-down conversions in the first quarter, No. 5 Beauregard eased to a 33-7 victory against Tallassee on Friday night to claim the Class 5A-Region 3 title. It marked the Hornets’ first region championship since moving to Class 5A before the start of last season and just the second region title in school history. “We wanted to dominate early, especially when you go into a tough place to play like Tallassee,” Beauregard head coach Rob Carter said. “You want to dominate early and go ahead and put an exclamation point on it.” The Hornets (7-0, 5-0) came to Tallassee (5-3, 3-2) and did just that — but not without some gambles along the way. Twice in the first quarter, Beauregard faced a fourth down in Tigers territory. Both times, the Hornets went for it, converted — and scored touchdowns.

The first came on Beauregard’s opening drive after forcing Tallassee to punt to open the game. The Hornets drove down to the Tigers’ 23-yard line, where the offense stalled and faced a fourthand-9 situation. Carter didn’t even hesitate, keeping his offense on the field to try to pick up the first down. Quarterback Quay Wright dropped back, was flushed out of the pocket to his left and bought time with his legs before scrambling right. The senior signal-caller kept his eyes downfield and saw wide receiver Heath Senn wide open on the right side of the end zone, connecting with his fellow senior for a 23-yard score to make it 7-0 early. “He’s focused,” Carter said. “He was going to do anything he could to stay alive and find Heath.” On Beauregard’s ensuing possession following another Tallassee punt, the Hornets faced a more manageable fourth-and-inches at the Tigers’ 36-yard line. Wright took a shotgun snap and handed it off to sophomore running

back La’Damian Webb. The 5-foot-8, 180-pounder was hit in the backfield before shedding the would-be tackler, cutting to his right and hitting the hole created by his offensive linemen. From there, it was a footrace between Webb and Tallassee’s secondary that the sophomore transfer easily won, making it 14-0 less than eight minutes into the game. Webb wasn’t done there, as he added a 23-yard touchdown late in the second quarter to give the Hornets a 20-0 lead at the break. Webb, finally fully recovered from a foot injury that slowed him midseason, finished the game with 15 carries for 125 yards and a pair of scores. “He did a good job,” Carter said. “The offensive line gave him some seams and holes.” The Hornets held the Tigers to just 109 total yards, though the majority of those came in the final minutes, when Tallassee senior running back Teddy Brooks broke off a 73-yard score against Beauregard’s backups to make it 33-7. Brooks finished with 95 yards on 17 car-

ries but had just 20 yards on 15 attempts before his late score. Beauregard racked up just 274 yards of total offense and was slowed by 10 penalties on the night. But the defense stifled Tallassee’s potent rushing attack and the Hornets made the most of their early gambles and short fields. Wright finished the day with 109 yards and one touchdown through the air on 6-of-13 attempts, but he added two more scores on the ground despite finishing with minus-10 yards rushing. Senn had three receptions for 70 yards, including the opening touchdown. “It’s just another step toward our main goal of a state championship,” Senn said of the win. “We just got one step further tonight.” After the win, Carter gathered his team on the field and delivered a quick, nineword message to his players: “One more region opponent. Two wins. Undefeated. Let’s go!” “That’s definitely the goal,” Senn said, pausing as a smile formed on his face. “Plus a state championship.”

Horseshoe Bend’s Drew Hill looks for room to run during a game earlier this season against Collinsville.

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

A slow start and penalties spelled doom for the Horseshoe Bend Generals as they fell 49-42 on the road at Woodland on Friday night. Horseshoe Bend (0-8, 0-5 in Class 2A-Region 5) was tied at 42-42, but Woodland (2-7, 1-4 in Class 2A-Region 5) scored the go-ahead touchdown with a minute and a half remaining. “We fell a little short tonight, but we played hard,” said Horseshoe Bend Coach Jason Franklin. “We were up 42-35 and returned a kickoff down to their 3-yard line, but had it called back on a block-in the back. We ended up punting and they drive down to make it 42-42. We returned another long kick but had it called back with another penalty. We had four holding penalties

that drive.” Franklin said the Generals were also hampered by a slow start to the game. “We spotted them 21-0 points in the first quarter and a half,” Franklin said. “If we don’t do that and we put together those complete four quarters together like I’ve been asking for all year, we would have been able to take care of business. We played from that great from that point on, but we didn’t come out the gate fast, and that was the difference in the ballgame.” Horseshoe Bend’s Drew Hill had five touchdowns, with three rushing, one on a return and one receiving. Caleb Yarbrough also had a receiving touchdown for Horseshoe Bend. The Generals will take the field again Friday at home against No. 7 Randolph County in region play.

Edgewood offense strikes fast, often to top Springwood By Kevin Taylor The Wetumpka Herald

The offensive juggernaut that is Edgewood Academy rolled up 53 firsthalf points to cruise to another easy win Friday night. The Wildcats (9-0) rolled up 356 yards of total offense to average 10.8 yards per play, while limiting host Springwood to 147 yards in the 61-7 win to extend the nation’s longest active high school football winning streak to 67 straight games. Junior receiver Jackson Tate opened the game with a 99-yard kickoff return for a score and hauled in five passes for 92 yards and two more scores to lead Edgewood. Senior quarterback Nathan Rourke continues to increase his state record in touchdown passes in a season by throwing four touchdowns and completing 17-of-20 passes for 222 yards. Following Tate’s kickoff return,

Rourke ran 38-yards for a score. Springwood pulled within a touchdown with 4:55 left in the opening quarter, but that would be as close as the homestanding Wildcats would get all night. Tyler Price tacked on another touchdown a minute later on a 9-yard run followed by a Tanner Payton interception return for a touchdown to give Edgewood a 33-7 lead. Rourke then found Tate on strikes of 31 and 17 yards and Maurice Young on connections of 10 and 27 yards to close out the first-half scoring for the Wildcats. Trevor Johnson added a late touchdown in the fourth quarter to put a bow on another win for Edgewood, which takes next week off, before closing out the regular season against Fort Dale Academy. Once again time was not on Edgewood’s side, but it didn’t matter. Springwood possessed the ball more

than 30 minutes in the game, while Edgewood had the ball slightly more than 12 minutes.

Quick strikes and taking advantage of four Springwood turnovers was the answer to another Edgewood victory.

Munford jumps out early to cruise over Bulldogs By Jim Plott for The Wetumpka Herald

The Holtville band played a tribute to James Bond during its halftime show Friday night, but it was the Holtville team that could have used 007 during its game. The Munford Lions pounced early and took a 47-8 win over the winless Bulldogs at Boykin Field. The Lions, 6-3 and 4-2 in region play, built up a 34-0 halftime lead and then cruised to the win over winless Holtville. Munford relied on the speed of running back Charles Smith, who looked like he could have qualified at the Talladega International Speedway not far from the Munford High School campus. Smith scored on touchdowns of 37, 33 and one yard to help the Lions build up a 27-0 first-quarter lead. A 43-yard pass from Tanner Reeves to Austin Campbell provided the Lions’ first touchdown which came on the second play of the game. A Holtville fumble

and interception led to two other firstquarter scores for Munford. “We got behind early with some missed tackles and as good a team as Munford is you can’t do that,” said

Holtville coach Hunter Adams. Holtville’s scored came with 5:20 p.m. left in the game when Deontrey Jackson rambled 59 yards for the Bulldogs and quarterback Reece Burbage added the

two-point run. Other than Jackson’s touchdown run, Holtville other bright spot was Burbage’s performance. Burbage ran the ball 19 times for 53 yards often generating the only offense for the young Bulldog team. “When the lights come on, he gives you everything he’s got,” Adams said. “He fights and claws to give his team the best he’s got on game nights.” Munford’s second half scores all came off Holtville miscues. Laraie Ball took in a 20-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter after Holtville shanked a punt and a fumble by Holtville later led to a 10-yard touchdown run by Reeves. Adams said despite being winless, the Holtville players continue to practice hard. “We have talked a lot about being young, being young and being young, but this is week eight (of the season). We can’t be young anymore,” he said. Holtville will travel to Leeds next week while Munford’s next game is Oct. 30 against Talladega High School.

The Lyman Ward Rangers narrowly missed a shot at bringing home their third win of the season, as they fell 30-27 at Hope Christian School in an 8-man game in Pelham on Friday. Lyman Ward Coach

Richard Oliver said it was a heartbreaking loss for the Rangers (2-4). “We had a tough loss. It just didn’t fall our way tonight,” Oliver said. “To be honest, I think the other team just wanted it more than we did. We had a tough call toward the end of the game where we were going into the endzone. It’s a heartbreaker for us.” Oliver said the Rangers had a shot, but ultimately could not capitalize. “We had a good competitive edge. We were riding that high for so long, but that high finally ran out,” Oliver said. “We were still very much in this football game and had the ball with 18 seconds left, but we just didn’t get it done tonight.” Jonathan Jackson scored on a run and a receiving touchdown for Lyman Ward, while Christian Kitsos scored twice for the Rangers.
