Two Dadeville men arrested on drug charges Marijuana, ecstasy, crack cocaine, a gun and cash were seized by police after two separate incidents Friday.
STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Two Dadeville men were arrested on drug-related charges Friday in two separate incidents, one stemming from a traffic stop and another from a tip leading officers to an individual selling Farley drugs out of a Dadeville motel. Officers with the Camp Hill Police Department stopped a vehicle for speeding on Highway 280 on Friday. When the vehicle came to a stop, the officer quickly smelled the strong odor of high-grade marijuana, also known as

Task force investigators responded to the scene and processed the evidence. Devante Goodman, 21, of Goodman Dadeville was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana in the first degree, possession of drug paraphernalia and speeding.

It was the doctor’s office delivering some news. “It was Jan. 12, 2016,” Patton told the group of women gathered for the Celebrate Life Luncheon at Haven Memorial United Methodist Church Thursday. “They called to tell me I had cancer.” But it was not Patton’s first run-in with cancer.

Models strutted their stuff modeling local fashions from area retailers. The show had a Mardi Gras theme, with decorations and an atmosphere making attendees feel as if they were at an event in New Orleans. Along with enjoying the auction, runway show and food and beverages, guests also had the opportunity to visit a number of vendor tables set up by local merchants at the fundraiser.

For students in the Alexander City School System preparing to embark on their journey of learning, Jim Pearson Elementary School is the first stop along the way. Under the leadership of principal Jamie Forbus, the school works hard to build these students up for a strong future by laying the basic educational foundation students need to be successful. “I’ve been in education now for 23 years,” Forbus said. “This is my fifth year as a principal, all five of which have been at Jim Pearson.” Prior to becoming the principal at Jim Pearson, Forbus taught for nine years as a science, social studies and PE teacher in the Coosa County system.

DEAR ABBY: Recently something has come up in my life that has pushed the shaky relationship between my girlfriend, “Linnay,” and my parents to the front burner. She insists they do not like her. Because of it, she rarely speaks more than a few sentences to them and dreads going to my house to visit them. I don’t think my parents dislike Linnay, but they do seem hesitant to interact with her, involve her in things our family does, and they don’t seem motivated to create a better relationship with her. Linnay has asked me to “fix” the situation, but I feel the way to make their relationship better is for THEM to work it out. What should each of them do to make this happen? And what can I do to help? -ANONYMOUS IN TEXAS DEAR ANONYMOUS:
DEAR ABBY Advice
This is not something your girlfriend can work out on her own. Ask your parents why they seem hesitant to interact with her, why they don’t invite her to things the family does and why they seem less than eager to create a better relationship with her. Linnay may be shy, or she may have picked up on not-so-subtle signals your parents are sending that they don’t approve of her. DEAR ABBY: I’m 11. My parents aren’t in my life, so my grandparents are my guardians. I’m thankful for all they do, but I am very scared because my grandfather is 85,

works. If I don’t want sticky counters, ruined pots and pans, or trash piling up, I have to do it myself.

If it isn’t yours, the logical thing to do would be find a place to live with more mature roommates who feel the way you do about clutter and hygiene.

T
he Outlook recently gained some new faith columnists and has a great team of faithful writers who share their heart with our readers. But we could always use some more. Do you know someone who leads by example, lives life positively, encourages others and lets their faith shine through as they speak? Maybe it’s a person who is a leader in the community or a pastor at your church. Maybe it’s just a friend who is confident in their faith and proud of what they believe in. Maybe it’s just a person who has a way with words, loves to write and enjoys inspiring others. Maybe you’re even reading this and thinking, “Hey, that’s me.” The Outlook is looking for these kind of people to write a faith column as little as once every few months or as often as once a month for our Weekend edition. We want to add even more faces to our religion page and grow our columnist team. Columns are only 400 words long and can be about anything that is weighing on your heart you want to share with Outlook readers. In a time where the world is so divided due to politics and everything else, it is necessary to spread some positivity and that’s what we’re looking for. You can do that right here in our newspaper. Be a voice for the community and be a positive model for others when they may be feeling nothing but negativity inside. Talk about your faith and how believing in something can strengthen a weak mind. Maybe God has taught you a lesson lately and you want to share it with others. Maybe you just have some sort of story to tell involving your faith. That’s exactly what we’re looking for. If you think this is something you would be interested in, email design editor Santana Wood at santana.wood@alexcityoutlook. com. Additionally, if you know someone who would be perfect for this, send them our way.

How not to modernize Saudi Arabia
More faith I
columnists welcome
Outlook
f, as appears increasingly likely, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ordered the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, then he has joined Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong Un among the ranks of rogue leaders who assassinate their critics on foreign soil. The only difference is that the Russian president and North Korean leader weren’t reckless and stupid enough to kill their opponents inside their own consulates. The disappearance of Khashoggi, a Post contributing columnist, is a horrific crime. His loss will be felt deeply for those who cherish freedom of expression and believe that all people, including those in the Arab world, deserve to be free. Khashoggi’s disappearance is also a betrayal of President Trump. Upon taking office, Trump made Saudi Arabia his first foreign trip and put his new administration’s reputation and prestige behind the crown prince and his reforms. The crown prince, or MBS, as he is widely known, has possibly repaid those efforts by brutally killing a permanent U.S. resident. His betrayal has now put Trump in an impossible bind. The president must now find a way to reconcile three sets of irreconcilable facts: Fact No. 1: The United States can’t simply ignore or sweep Khashoggi’s death under the table. Even if Trump wants to do so, Congress won’t let him — nor should it. There must be consequences. Fact No. 2: MBS is not going anywhere. Saudi Arabia is a monarchy. He is the son of the king. He has spent the past few years systematically eliminating his rivals and consolidating power. The idea that a new leader is going to emerge to replace him is not realistic. And if, by chance, such a leader did emerge, it would likely be someone who wants to roll back the crown prince’s efforts to rein in the religious establishment, clean up
MARC THIESSEN Columnist corruption and open up Saudi society. Be careful what you wish for. Fact No. 3: We need Saudi Arabia, less as a source of oil — the fracking revolution has dramatically expanded our energy independence — than as a counterweight to Iran, which is the main strategic menace to U.S. interests in the region. Saudi Arabia is our most important ally in countering that threat. No other country in the Middle East can play that role. A permanent breach with Saudi Arabia is not an acceptable outcome. How does Trump reconcile these three irreconcilable realities? The answer is: He can’t. The result is going to be unpleasant and unsatisfying. Many Democrats taking shots at the president as he tries to figure out a path forward need to check their hypocrisy. As my American Enterprise Institute colleague Danielle Pletka pointed out, “if you can’t restrain yourself from blaming Trump, spare a moment to blame [President Barack] Obama for the war in Syria,” where more than 470,000 men, women and children have died while the United States has stood by and done nothing. If you had a role in Middle East policy in the past eight years, that finger you are pointing at the Trump administration has blood dripping off it. So, what is going to happen? While we do need Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia also needs us. Trump said that he has told King Salman that Saudi Arabia would not last “two weeks” without U.S. military support. He’s right. We saved the Saudis from Saddam Hussein’s aggression and now protect them from Iran’s. Moreover, the United
States has other leverage. Trump should make clear Saudi Arabia’s actions have squandered the once bipartisan support in Congress for the kingdom — and that, unlike Saudi Arabia, the United States is not a monarchy. Congress has a say in our Middle East policy. It can impose costs on Saudi Arabia, by blocking military aid and arms sales. A bipartisan group of senators sent a letter to Trump calling for an investigation under the Magnitsky Act — a U.S. law that mandates sanctions, including travel restrictions and freezing assets, of foreign individuals who have committed gross violations of human rights. Magnitsky sanctions would have real teeth, because members of the royal family love to travel outside the Arabian Peninsula, where they can do things they cannot do at home. If MBS wants to avoid a rupture in relations, then he must accept responsibility and make restitution. He must acknowledge that he understands the gravity of this mistake — that he has made Saudi Arabia an international pariah, and is willing to do what is necessary to dig himself out of that hole through steps such as the release of political prisoners. And he must commit to stopping this kind of brutal behavior. Because his professed desire to modernize Saudi Arabia is incompatible with the medieval horrors that apparently took place in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

A referendum to authorize the display of the 10 Commandments on public property has been put on the November Alabama ballot at the behest of Roy Moore backer Dean Young. State legislators unwisely approved a measure to amend the Alabama Constitution to allow 10 Commandments displays in courts and public schools. Alabamians must vote down
this unconstitutional ruse. The U.S. Supreme Court has spoken clearly on this question, noting that Bible edicts do not belong in our public schools, which exist to educate, not to proselytize. High courts have likewise spoken against Moore and his crusade to put 10 Commandments monuments inside Alabama courthouses. He’s even been removed from judicial office for trying to do so. The First Commandment — dictating which god must be
worshiped — is reason enough why the decalog does not belong on government property, since it clearly violates the First Amendment. Instead of placing Bible verses on public property, we ought to be placing signs reminding citizens such as Young and Moore to “Honor Thy First Amendment.” Annie Laurie Gaylor Co-President Freedom From Religion Foundation

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Kick back, and do some deep thinking. What might not work now could later. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give out any ultimatums; if others donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree, let them be. You could be eyeing more responsibility involving an older friend. Think before even halfway saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? Tonight: Not to be found. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Zero in on a long-term desire. A friend provokes you to think of what you most desire. Go for what you want. You might feel as though you need to reach out to someone at a distance. Catch up on this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s news. Emphasize your goals and dreams. Tonight: Where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Reach out to someone whom you often put on a pedestal. Plan on getting together with this person as soon as possible. You nearly always enjoy each other. Join in on what he or she is doing. A spontaneous happening could occur from out of nowhere. Tonight: Let the party go on. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might want to rethink a personal matter. What is happening around you could change, if you would like it to. When presented with a fun invitation, the only answer is â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;? Be willing to travel a little further in order to meet someone halfway. Tonight: Follow the music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) When making a request, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be as direct and charming as possible. Know that a friend could be acting a little wishy-washy. You might be stunned by this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s automatic reaction. Recognize a need to play it cool rather than be authentic. Tonight: Visit with a loved one. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Defer to others when you can, yet remain sensitive to your needs. Perhaps loved ones can throw themselves into an event and not feel inundated. You, on the other hand, are likely to feel overwhelmed in the same situation. Give yourself permission to pull away. Tonight: Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;yes.â&#x20AC;?
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might not be as free as you would like to be. You have a lot on your plate that you need to clear out. Get to it, because you might want to enjoy your weekend. Your focused diligence pays oÉ&#x2C6; quickly. Do not postpone what you can do now. Tonight: Time to join pals. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your creativity emerges when you are dealing with a new friend. Your sense of amusement is piqued. Understand that this person serves as a muse for you more often than not. You will see that you also inspire others, as they do you. Tonight: Allow a daydream to take over. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be overwhelmed about your emotional needs. You also might not be sharing them with a partner or close loved one. A friend could help you get past self-imposed restrictions. Understand what is happening around you. Tonight: The action is at your pad. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Start moving through a hassle that has caused a lot of confusion as of late. Understand that no one is trying to sabotage the situation. Stay calm and centered. Reach out to a loved one who understands you and often oÉ&#x2C6;ers helpful advice. Do not avoid a call. Tonight: Be responsive. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Going overboard can happen when you are with your friends or want to let oÉ&#x2C6; steam. When you are sharing your thoughts, your sensitivity could come to the surface. Do not be surprised by othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; responses. Stay as centered as possible. Tonight: Make it your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Your emotions could dominate the moment. Recognize your unique intensity and ability to sense what others feel. Sometimes, you pick up on a close loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feelings and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even realize it. Make an eÉ&#x2C6;ort to reach out to someone you rarely see. Tonight: Where your friends are.

more year as an administrator in the Coosa County system before coming to Alexander City, going first to Alexander City Middle School for a year, then Radney Elementary School for four years before finally arriving at Jim Pearson as an administrator. With Jim Pearson being the first stop on the path of learning, Forbus said his main goal is to create an environment the students will want to come to every day and learn, while not losing sight of the most important assets the school has. “The thing I try to remember is focusing on the fact that our students are the most important thing here,” Forbus said. “I remind the staff regularly how our students are the most important part of our school. They are the key, then our teachers and staff, and then me. Our teachers and staff are the ones that make the magic happen every day. Everything they do every day matters. “I go out and I greet the students every day when they arrive at school. I want our students to see we care about them.” In order to help build the foundation for Jim Pearson students to grow up and become successful at every other level of their education, Forbus said there are many ways teachers and staff work to foster a love of learning in every student, while also teaching them how to better interact with others. For example, there is a greeter for every classroom at Jim Pearson, with the student taught how to answer the door, make eye contact and shake the visitor’s hand. “Children are naturally inquisitive. We want to give them an environment where they feel comfortable being inquisitive,” Forbius said. “We want learning to be fun for them. We encourage our Accelerated Reader program to develop a love of reading. Our math program encourages students to find several ways to solve problems, not just one. The new reading program we started two years ago, we felt it better met our students’ needs. “I feel our students love being here. I talked to some of them who were excited to be back in school after fall break. You see a lot of hugs and highfives in the hallways every day.” Art and music are also a key component of the education experience at Jim Pearson. By exposing these students to the fine arts at an early age, it can help them not only gain a greater love for art and

music, but can be beneficial in other facets of learning as well. Forbus said many of the school’s teachers incorporate music and art into their daily lesson plans, which can help students learn more effectively. “We see a lot of movement, dancing and singing in our classrooms,” Forbus said. “Our comprehensive art program is a big draw.” Under the one-to-one initiative implemented throughout the city school system, all students at Jim Pearson are provided with an iPad to integrate technology and learning. Though the students are not allowed to take their iPads home, they are able to use them throughout the day as a way to enhance the traditional classroom learning. One program with the iPads Forbus is proud the school offers its students is the ability to read Accelerated Reader books on their tablets. On one wall of the hallway leading past the media center to the cafeteria, there are sheets with QR codes on them. A student can scan the code, which will then download the corresponding Accelerated Reader

book to their tablet. In addition to the traditional kindergarten through second grade classrooms, Forbus also helps oversee the four pre-K classrooms the Alexander City School System offers parents and students. Although space in each pre-K classroom is limited, Forbus believes the program has made a positive impact on both Jim Pearson and the school system as a whole. “It opens up the preschool educational setting to more children,” Forbus said. “It helps them develop more of the skills needed to become a successful kindergartner. We will see the benefit of this program for years to come.” One of the biggest issues Forbus feels the school deals with on a regular basis is poverty. He said a lot of other factors can relate to the issue of poverty, but at the same time, the school is working hard to mitigate its effects and provide for every student, no matter their socioeconomic status.
“We have been focused on training and personal development with regards to poverty,” Forbus said. “It’s a challenge, but it’s a challenge we’re up to. We are taking steps to address the needs of our students. The first and most crucial part is recognizing that it’s an issue. I feel really good about what we do to help our students.” While the educational experience at Jim Pearson only lasts for three to four years, Forbus believes the things he and his teachers do every day helps successfully prepare those who pass through the hallways of Jim Pearson for a bright educational future and the potential to go anywhere in life. “We have to be mindful of meeting all the needs our students have, educating the whole child,” Forbus said. “The programs are good, but establishing a good, caring relationship is the key first step in all of this. We are very purposeful in doing that.”

Cancer “My father died of cancer when I was in eighth grade,” she said. Patton’s journey with cancer made her realize cancer knows no boundaries. “As a child you think cancer slays old people,” Patton said. “As a young woman, I realize cancer does not have an age on it. Cancer starts young, at birth and goes all the way to 80 and 90 years old. Cancer is not for elderly people. Cancer is not for a certain gender. Cancer is for all people. This journey has taught me so much about my enemy – cancer.” Patton believes God and faith has guided her to a successful path through cancer. First she was originally scheduled to present a program for work the day she got the call, but as fate would have it, she was asked to present on Monday. Now she had to get home after receiving the dreadful call. “The first thing I did was cry,” Patton said. “I was driving. The first thing I thought was why do this while I am driving down the road.” Patton was not happy it was a cold phone call to deliver such news, but she said it was God who guided her. “Did you not consider me enough to call me into the office to tell me?,” Patton asked herself while driving. “That was a test. I could pull over and cry, have an accident or pray.” She would first call her brothers. “Of course I was look-

ing to my brothers for strength,” Patton said. “They started to cry and knew I could not listen. They started to reminiscence about my father’s fight.” Patton understood they were struggling with the idea of losing their sister so she made another phone call to get home. She was determined to beat cancer even moments after finding out she had breast cancer. “Cancer chose the right woman at the wrong time,” Patton said. “We will be fine in this journey.” The next call was to someone she knew who would help. “I called my best friend,” Patton said. “She took a deep breath. She didn’t cry, at least I didn’t hear her cry and she began to pray.” Patton realized early on she would go elsewhere for treatment. “I knew I had to leave to live,” she said. “On cancer you have to move, you can’t rest on it.” Patton would travel to Zion, Illinois for surgery at Cancer Centers of America and then three months of radiation at UAB in Birmingham. She is now cancer free but realizes God had a plan even before she received the dreadful phone call in the car in Jan. 2016. “God had already lined up people to help me down the path,” Patton said. “He put people in place.” Patton has retired early and made some lifestyle changes, like becoming

It’s time to get serious for local volleyball teams, as their postseason begins Monday with area tournaments. All five teams will play Monday, but only one — Horseshoe Bend — will host. “Of course, any time you host the tournament and you’ve done well,” HBS coach Julie Turner said, “you’ve won all your games all season long in your area, you expect to come out and dominate the area tournament. That’s kind of what I want to have the girls do is just come out and play hard and don’t make the mental mistakes we’ve made in the past.” No. 1-seeded Horseshoe Bend will start off its Class 2A Area 9 tournament against LaFayette at 3 p.m., while Woodland and Ranburne will face off in the other semifinal set for 4:30 p.m. The winners of the two semifinals will face off in the championship, which is scheduled for 6 p.m. Although Horseshoe Bend went undefeated in area play in the regular season, it knows the tournament isn’t going to be a walk in the park. The Generals are especially watching out for Ranburne, which was the toughest competition for them during the season. “We’ll just have to learn how to let the little errors go, and we’ve got to work still on our mental game,” Turner said. “If we can keep from making the mental mistakes, when we go to the regional tournament down the road, it’s gonna be a bigger environment and we’re gonna have to learn how to let things go a lot quicker than what we’re used to. That’s what we’re gonna

work on is just learning how to let it go.” In Class 6A Area 6, Benjamin Russell will hit the road for Opelika. It’ll take on Russell County in the first round at 4:30 p.m., and, if it wins, advance to the championship against the Bulldogs immediately following. The Wildcats split with both Russell County and Opelika during the regular season. “Anytime you beat somebody, it makes it easier for you to beat them again,” BRHS coach Magan Ford said. “But the same goes for them; they know they can beat us. So it’s going to be a fight and we better go with our A-game.” Like Horseshoe Bend, the Wildcats seem to play better when they keep their focus. “I’m feeling good about Monday,” Benjamin Russell
setter Makenzie Davis said. “If we stay up, we can win it. We need to make sure we keep our confidence up and keep our heads up, and we need to stay disciplined.” Dadeville is also in a three-team area, and the Class 3A Area 6 tournament will be hosted by Beulah. Dadeville will play B.B. Comer at 3 p.m. for a spot in the final with the championship immediately following. The Tigers finished second in their area last year and were the only team in the county to advance to the second round of regionals, but they’ve struggled this year and have just three wins to their name. They have, however, beaten Beulah once. Finally, Fayetteville will play host to the Class 2A Area 8 tournament which includes both Central Coosa
and Reeltown. The Cougars are the No. 2 seed and will face the Rebels at 2 p.m. to kick off the tourney. Fayetteville takes on Thorsby in the other semifinal, and Coosa and the Wolves are expected to meet in the championship, which is set for 5 p.m. “We just have to minimize the mistakes and just try to play together collectively as a team,” Coosa coach Doris Gamble said. “We’re just trying to get them to get out there and execute, play as hard as they can and try to win that championship game. We’ve been placed second before in our area and came out and won it, so we’re looking forward to getting out there, trying to work hard to get it done.” The top two teams in each area advance to regionals, which are set to begin Thursday.
Generals top Cougars in 4-set finale By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Aces and streaks were the name of the game Thursday night in the regular season finale between Horseshoe Bend and Central Coosa’s volleyball teams. The Generals topped the Cougars in four sets, 25-13, 18-25, 25-12, 25-9. “I just told them we had to work on things we’ve been working on in practice,” Horseshoe Bend coach Julie Turner said. “We haven’t played in over a week. We’ve been doing a lot of practicing. I just told them we needed to implement some of those things we’ve been working on.” Coosa coach Doris Gamble told her girls before the match, “Do the best [you] can and let’s play hard. Take care of your territory and try to leave out on a good note.” The Generals recorded at least three aces, held lengthy service runs and broke the Cougars’ service before Coosa could get much going in each of the sets Horseshoe Bend won. At the same time, the Cougars strung together three aces in a row and regularly broke Horseshoe Bend’s services during the only set Coosa claimed. Despite Coosa taking the second set to even the match at 1-1, the Generals responded strong in the final two sets, outscoring the Cougars 50-21

in the third and fourth sets combined. “I told them that they could either lay down and not play well like they did in the second set, or we could just forget about it, have a shortterm memory and move on from that,” Turner said. “We passed better. Passing is the key to volleyball and that is what we did better in the third and fourth sets.” According to Gamble, mental mistakes and breakdowns are what killed the Cougars in the final two sets. “Just didn’t do the fundamental things that we
need to do,” she said. Down 7-5 in the third set, Horseshoe Bend went on a 15-2 run to take a commanding lead, and although Coosa put together a short run of its own to try to claw back, the Generals scored the final three points of the set to move into the final set with the 2-1 advantage. A similar run in the fourth frame gave Horseshoe Bend the victory. After a Coosa serve went straight into the net, the Generals put their foot on the gas and took 16 of the last 18 points to return home with a victory before they host the area tournament Monday.
few high school football games were put on hold last week, which is not a normal occurrence in the South. It takes something pretty major to cancel or reschedule a ballgame around here. But the disaster of Hurricane Michael wreaked havoc on the Southern part of the state, and it was time to put the ball down for a night and focus on what’s really important. Earlier this week, the Alabama High School Athletic Association Central Board of Control unanimously approved to give assistance to Cottonwood High School, which suffered significant damage during the storm last week. In photos published by Dothan Eagle, some of Cottonwood’s damage included the visiting bleachers toppling nearly to the ground. It’s great to see the AHSAA reaching out to a school in need during a time like this. With the holiday season right around the corner and an air of unrest surrounding the country, it’s extremely important now more than ever to give back to those in need, regardless of how much you can give or in what way. Find a purpose that’s meaningful to you. In addition to the ASHAA donating funds to Cottonwood High School, there are plenty of organizations around Tallapoosa County that are raising funds or material items to help those who were harmed or are still in need after the hurricane. If you’re a student, being a volunteer for your community looks great on college applications and is also a way to give back to a place that’s given to you. I’m always in awe when I see football teams or volleyball squads doing something for their community. It’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and it’s great to see volleyball teams around the area hosting Dig Pink days to raise money for either an organization or someone specifically in need within the community. I wrote a story for our Breast Cancer Awareness special section about what local football teams are doing to honor the cause, and while wearing pink may make football teams look great, it doesn’t necessarily help anyone. That’s why I loved the idea the Reeltown Rebels do, which is every player who wants to wear pink must donate $10 that will then be collected and given to someone in need. A lot of student-athletes in this county have aspirations to play at the collegiate level. At the next level, it becomes that much more important to be a pillar of your community because you’re in the public eye. The Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide players are heroes in the eyes of many young people, and it’s important to take that status and use it to teach good lessons. So whether it be donating something to hurricane relief or taking part in a Habitat for Humanity build, volunteering at Lake Martin Animal Shelter or raising money for someone suffering from cancer or another disease, find a way to get involved. Not only will it be good for the person you’re trying to help, but it’ll also make you feel better about your purpose. Keep this lesson in mind with Thanksgiving and Christmas coming up. If you’re blessed enough to have a giant turkey and a pile of presents under the tree, just remember not everyone is. See if you can find a way to help.

Benjamin Russell secures postseason spot with dominating win vs. Calera By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
T
he math was easy heading into Friday night’s game. One team was going home knowing it would go to the playoffs; one team’s postseason hopes would be dashed. Luckily for the Benjamin Russell faithful, it was the Wildcats who seemed to be firing on all cylinders, especially after an even-keeled first half. Benjamin Russell scored in every way possible, putting two touchdowns in on the ground and another two through the air, scoring a defensive TD and even adding a safety and a field
goal en route to a 40-7 victory over the Eagles. It was the Wildcats’ most convincing win of the season, and it came at a perfect time as they locked up the No. 4 spot in Class 6A Region 3. “The most impressive thing was what I talked about all week, which was can we come out and sting them right away?” Benjamin Russell coach Kevin Smith said. “The first drive looked sloppy because we had a bad snap and right out of the gate, we were going backwards. But I thought defensively we came right out and played extremely well.” Although bad snaps did cause the Wildcats (5-4, 2-3) some trouble, it See BRHS • Page 3

was nothing compared to the difficulties Calera (1-6, 1-4) had on the snaps. At least a handful of snaps went over quarterback Cornelius Brownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head, causing him to fall on it for negative yardage, and one bad snap was fumbled and recovered by Benjamin Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Deshaun Gonzalez, who took it 10 yards to the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was brand spanking new, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t figure it out,â&#x20AC;? Calera coach Andrew Zow said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That normally never happens. Ryan Caver is usually our ace in the hole when it comes to being our center. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of our smaller guys but does an outstanding job technique wise. And of course, our quarterback is 6-foot-5. Ryan snapped it low a couple times then overcompensated by snapping it high a couple times. It turned out to bite us.â&#x20AC;? Benjamin Russell went toe to toe with the Eagles for the first quarter but managed to build up a 19-7 lead at halftime thanks to a safety â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Pokey Norris tackled Brown in the end zone after yet another bad snap â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and a Wilson Hays field goal, both of which happened in the final 40 seconds of the second quarter. But it was really the third quarter when Benjamin Russell began to assert its dominance. Gonzalez scored his defensive touchdown just 52 seconds into the half, and from there, the Wildcat offense took over. Keedon Young had a 21-yard touchdown run and Landon Cotney added a rushing touchdown after having two throws for scores in the first half. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Landon was on fire tonight,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was hitting everything in stride. Even ones we dropped, he hit them laser right there in the hands. I thought he did an awesome job of getting it out of his hands, and they were sending a lot of pressure too. They did what Selma did to us which was get right up on us and come after us and make us throw it quickly. I thought we han-

With the loss, Calera was eliminated from the playoffs, marking the first time the Eagles will miss the postseason since 2011. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed the playoffs in years, even before I got here,â&#x20AC;? said Zow, who is in his third year as head coach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So not getting in this year really hurts.

Whether they had 13 or 7, in the big picture, it probably doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean anything, but in that locker room, those young guys feel like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hey, we can play on this field too.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Charles Henderson 34, Tallassee 28 OT
Charles Henderson rallies past Tallassee in OT By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For Tallapoosa Publishers
A
fter falling behind early in the game, the visiting Charles Henderson Trojans systematically worked themselves back into the game and ultimately a 34-28 overtime victory over the region’s No. 2 team, Tallassee. With the game knotted at 28-28, Charles Henderson took offense first in the extra frame and made quick work of the situation. Quarterback Yahoshua Jones (16-of-33 for 220 and four touchdowns) took the snap and stepped into the pocket. He scanned the defense and settled on a target before firing a strike to a Trojan receiver in the end zone. The score gave Charles Henderson its first lead of the night, 34-28. “We shoot ourselves in the foot and get behind, but the team came back with some fight and got us back in this one,” Trojan coach Brad McCoy said. “I’m proud of everybody. The defense and all the offensive guys — proud of the whole football team with how we went in at halftime and made some adjustments and came out and executed in the second half.” Things didn’t go so smoothly for the Tigers when they took the field. Instead of marching forward, a sack and stalled runs moved the offense backward. On fourth down and long from their own 29, quarterback Kalvin Levett (266 all-purpose yards) took the snap and rolled out, scrambling for his life while looking for an open receiver. He moved up the field dodging tacklers until he got to the 20-yard line. Levett pulled up and completed an 8-yard pass to Dylan Turner for what would have been the game-saving first down. Unfortunately, the pass came way beyond the line of scrimmage resulting in an illegal forward pass penalty. The result was a loss of down. And just like

and that’s what happens,” Tallassee coach Mike Battles said. “We’ll regroup
and hopefully we can come back and get to work and come out Monday and get ready to play Beauregard.” The Tigers jumped ahead early when Trent Cochran-Gill reeled in a blocked punt and returned it for a first-quarter score. Quinton Jeter added the point after and the Tigers were up 7-0. The score doubled one series later when Levett (127 yards rushing on 26 carries) called his own number on a 13-yard touchdown run. With the point after, the lead grew to 14-0. The Trojans answered in the second quarter. Jones connected with Derrick McKinney on a 23-yard touchdown pass. The point after was wide moving the mark to 14-6. Tallassee opened its playbook and called Cochran-Gill’s number on a 46-yard touchdown pass to Tavarious See TALLASSEE • Page 6

Opelika topples Stanhope Elmore, 59-21 By SCOTT FIELDS Opelika-Auburn News
The Stanhope Elmore Mustangs arrived in Opelika Friday night undefeated in region play. By the end of the first quarter, the Bulldogs had made it evident they wouldn’t stay that way. Opelika (4-4, 4-1 Class 6A Region 3) pounced on Stanhope Elmore (5-4, 4-1) early and never let up in a 59-21 region victory for the home squad. Opelika running back Brantan Barnett delivered highlight after highlight, finishing with 138 yards and five total touchdowns. Thanks to Opelika’s win and Wetumpka’s victory over Selma, the Bulldogs will have the second seed in Class 6A Region 3 behind the Indians. Stanhope Elmore, meanwhile, takes the third seed. “It was great to come out and finally put a full four quarters together,” Opelika coach Erik Speakman said. “We’ve been battling that all year playing some great
competition. It’s good for all the pieces to finally come together against a really good Stanhope team.” Opelika’s secret to success starting the night was capitalizing on mistakes by the Mustangs. Stanhope Elmore’s opening drive went from bad to worse, as a would-be punt after a three-and-out was mishandled due to a high snap. The Bulldogs took over on the Mustangs’ 11-yard line and soon took a 3- 0 lead with Marshall Meyers’ 24-yard field goal. Two plays later, the Opelika offense was on the field again. On the first play following the kickoff, Opelika defensive back Zackery Collins read the pass play coming his way, jumped the route and grabbed the ball for an interception on the Stanhope 16-yard line. The pick became the first of back-to-back blows for the Mustangs, as Barnett took off to his right on the next play for a rushing touchdown to put Opelika up 10-0 just two minutes and 37 seconds into the game.

After recovering a fumble, Charles Henderson began chipping away at the Tallassee lead. Jones hooked up with McKinney a second time from nine yards away for the touchdown. Leading 21-13, Levett completed back-to-back passes to Griffin for 39 yards and then for 28. After a pair of short runs, Cochran-Gill took the snap into the end zone. With the point after, the Tigers pushed ahead 28-13. The Trojans defense stepped up and forced a turnover on Tallassee’s next possession. The strip by the defense led to a score, inching them closer to the lead at 28-19. They added a 33-yard field goal by Caleb Guice make the score 28-22. The final score of the regulation came with 5:12 to go. Jones, after dodging rushing Tigers defenders, dropped a pass into the arms of Desmond Byrd for the 56-yard pass and run. The point after was no good and the game was knotted at 28-28.

Tallassee’s game ball was parachuted in on Friday night by a skydiver.
Stanhope Collins said he knew what was about to happen before the Stanhope Elmore quarterback even let go of the ball. “We just watch film a lot and had practiced the play,” Collins said. “We knew the play was coming. That’s why we got the pick.” After Stanhope Elmore’s second three-and-out in three drives, the Bulldogs began their next possession in their own territory for the first time. It was hardly an issue, however, as Barnett and quarterback Cade Blackmon paced the Bulldogs down the field on an eight-play, 65-yard drive that ended with Barnett’s 4- yard touchdown run. Following another Mustangs’ threeand-out, the Bulldogs piled up 41 yards on eight plays before Barnett reached the end zone on a two-yard run. With just over one minute left in the opening quarter, the Bulldogs led the region leader 24-0. Speakman credited the heads-up play on the botched punt and Collins’ interception as starting Opelika’s wave of dominance it rode throughout the blowout. “We just try to pounce on teams and
continued from page 6
take advantage of their mistakes just like great teams do,” Speakman said. “With the botched punt and the pick, we scored to really put the game away and just take the will away from them.” Stanhope Elmore showed signs of life with Xavier Hall’s 4-yard rushing touchdown with five minutes left in the second quarter, but that spark was short-lived. The Mustangs could not take advantage of their first stop of the Opelika offense, and with 38 seconds left before halftime Barnett was in the end zone for the fourth time. Barnett’s finale came in the form of a 13-yard touchdown reception from Blackmon with 7:26 left in the third quarter, a score which gave Opelika a 38-7 lead. Barnett lined up next to Blackmon prior to the snap then took off to the flats to Blackmon’s left, where Barnett had plenty of room to work with. There was one Mustang within reach, but Barnett made quick work of him for his fifth and final score in the game. “I just ran out there, turned around, saw the ball coming my way and just had to catch it,” Barnett said. “I caught
it, saw the defender, made a move and scored.” Blackmon ended the night 12-of-20 passing with 209 yards and the one touchdown. The Bulldogs continued to roll once the likes of Barnett and Blackmon retreated to the sidelines. Kani Thornton Kellum joined the scoring fun on a seven-yard run with 3:44 to go in the third. Just over one minute later, Opelika defensive back Marcus Tyson picked up a fumble and took off 29 yards for a touchdown that gave the Bulldogs a 52-7 lead. Stanhope’s Tray Duncan managed to pull off a 43-yard touchdown run before the quarter’s end, one of two scores the junior had in the game. He finished the night with 11 carries for 102 yards. Nate Evans gave the Bulldogs their eighth and final touchdown with a 20-yard run on the opening play of the fourth quarter. The effort marked the most points the Mustangs had allowed since surrendering 66 to Central-Phenix City in 2013. Speakman was especially pleased with how his team never eased up in a game where the outcome was apparent
after the opening 12 minutes. “That’s the way we want to play,” Speakman said. “We have a thing this year called ‘the relentless pursuit of excellence.’ It doesn’t matter what point in the game we’re at — we always teach our kids to play like it’s 0-0, don’t look at the scoreboard and play every play as hard as you can.” After the game, the major contributors for the Bulldogs were riding high after such a one-sided victory. Collins lauded the defense’s performance, saying it was the best the unit had played all season. Barnett, meanwhile, was thrilled with how the team made the Mustangs regret their miscues to seal a major region victory. Barnett and the Bulldogs have a nonregion game against Class 5A Vigor remaining, but he made it clear he and his teammates see themselves doing something special once the postseason begins. “We feel like we’re probably the best in Class 6A right now,” Barnett said. “We have a big chip on our shoulders for the upcoming games. We have to work hard and get better every day. We have to come up with that big trophy.”

Wetumpka runs over Selma, 61-40 By WILL WHALEY The Selma Times-Journal
The Selma High Saints lost against the Wetumpka Indians 61-40 on Friday night at Memorial Stadium. It was a night with touchdowns in each quarter, starting early with the Indians scoring first with Tyquan Rawls and Zach Grindle kicking the extra point with 10:01 left in the first quarter making the score 7-0. The Indians ended the first quarter with a 10-yard run from Rawls with 4:48 left in the first quarter making the score 14-0. In the second quarter, the Indians made their next touchdown with 11:36 remaining on a pass from Rawls to De’Angelo Jones. Rawls added more to the Indians’ total score with a 40-yard run with 7:16 left in the first half to give the Indians a 28-0 lead. The Saints’ first score came in the second quarter with 4:54 left when Gabriel Wade caught a touchdown pass. The Indians answered with their own 90-yard return run by Terrance Thomas with 4:37 left in the first half to bring the score to 35-7. Selma’s Nicholas Parnell made the score closer at 35-14 just 27 seconds later with his first touchdown of the game. The Indians ended the second quarter with a successful field goal with 1:34 left. This made the score 38-14 at halftime. Saints running back Amarian Molette scored on a 5-yard run making the score 38-20 with 9:22 left in the third. Wetumpka’s E.J. Rogers made the next score of the night with 6:04 left in the third quarter, which increased the Indians’ lead to 45-20. Selma made a 4-yard pass between Keondre Hope and Parnell to make the score 45-26 with 2:56 left in the third. Wetumpka opened up the final quarter with a completed pass from Rawls to Rogers with 11:51 left, bringing the score to 52-26. The Saints returned with their own touchdown with a completed pass to Parnell, and Molette earning an extra two points from the Saints with only 5:44 left in the fourth quarter. The score now sat at 52-34. Wetumpka kept scoring in the fourth with a field goal at the 3:39 mark and a 90-yard run from Thomas with only 23 seconds left in the game. Selma ended the game with a completed pass from Hope to Wade. As the buzzer sounded, the final score was 61-40. “I was at Wetumpka for four years, and I knew they would come in as a fine-tuned machine,” Selma coach Christopher Raymond said. “It is the little things. Wetumpka is one of the best teams in our region, and I knew they would come in full cylinders.”

Reeltown 48, Vincent 13
Youth gets experience in ‘fast’ Rebel win By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Since coming out of the gates a bit slow last week, Reeltown made sure it was firing on all cylinders before next week’s showdown with Ranburne. “Our focus since halftime last week to tonight has been fast,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “We were all disappointed last week; a lot of that is my part. That was our focus this week, that was our identity this week – fast. Come out and dictate the pace and play our game.” The Rebels did come out fast in a 48-13 victory over Vincent. Reeltown’s Keke Hughley led the way with six runs for 160 yards and three touchdowns, but not far behind was Cameron Faison with seven carries for 105 yards and three touchdowns. Trey O’Neal led the way for the Rebel defense with nine tackles, eight of which were solo and two for a loss. Chandler Gray came up with two sacks while Robert Crittenden came up with a blocked punt that turned into a short touchdown and six tackles. Hughley and Faison’s efforts came mainly in the first half and both were benched after a halftime lead of 34-6 to allow younger players a chance to gain live experience, something Johnson was happy with. “Those guys show up to work every day too,” Johnson said. “This is Week 9. They have come this far through workouts, practice and stuff like that. When their number is called they do a good job. You can’t replace experience.” In addition to experience, Johnson said his guys gained a little something in Friday’s win. “When you come to work everyday and prepare yourself, you get a level of confidence,” Johnson said. “When you can get that, it’s fun. Leadership is fun. When you can lead and be confident

CUTTING IT CLOSE: By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Despite fighting hard and keeping things close, the Dadeville Tigers fell short of defeating the Beulah Bobcats on homecoming night Friday, 32-27. “The bottom line is, we gave them the ball first snap on offense; we gave them the football. We can’t do that,” Dadeville coach Richard White said. “Then you had something else happen. We’re down 13-0 again before the first quarter’s over with. We can’t keep doing these things. We shoot ourselves in the foot and we just continue to shoot ourselves in the foot. I’m proud of our effort. We gave effort. Our kids played
hard. We made a gallant effort to come back like that, but it just wasn’t enough.” For the second week in a row, early miscues cost Dadeville (2-7, 1-5 Class 3A Region 3) when the Tigers fumbled on the first play from scrimmage. The Bobcats (6-2, 4-2) scored on the next play to take a 6-0 lead after missing the extra point. Dadeville’s offensive woes continued on the next series, when a low snap allowed Beulah to sack Slade McCullers on a fourth-down conversion attempt. The Bobcat offense was invigorated by this stop, moving the ball methodically and scoring again when Caden Dowdell punched it in from 16 yards out. In addition to turnovers, penalties were a major
Dadeville can’t keep up with Beulah on homecoming night issue for Dadeville. A botched punt return gave the Bobcats the ball in prime position to add to their lead late in the third quarter, but false start and holding calls killed some of the Tigers’ momentum on several drives that showed some serious potential. “Our kids have fought hard all year long; we’re just snakebit,” White said. “Things happen to us that just don’t happen to normal football teams every ballgame. Every ballgame we’ve played this year, we’ve done something to give the other team opportunities to have a short field to score. That’s been the telltale sign of this football team.” The Tigers finally found their rhythm late in the first See DADEVILLE • Page 10

quarter, when McCullers called his own number on second and 1 from the Beulah 6. Dadeville tied it up 13-13 after recovering a Bobcat fumble then driving all the way down to the Beulah 7. A pair of penalties backed Dadeville up to the 22-yard line, but McCullers found Jamarion Wilkerson open for the score. After halftime, the Bobcats again found a way to move the ball effectively to retake the lead, an advantage Beulah did not give up for the rest of the game. A missed field goal from Dadeville left the score 20-13 going into the final 12 minutes of play. The final frame opened with Beulah scoring again to take a 26-13 lead, but Dadeville refused to quit, clawing for every yard and pulling within six points at the halfway mark. However, the Bobcats put the game virtually out of reach with 2:59 to go on a 55-yard rushing touchdown from quarterback Lonzie Portis. With less then a minute to go, McCullers found Cooper Childers open in the end zone to narrow the gap to 32-27, but Beulah recovered the onside kick and elected to kneel the ball to run out the game. With Senior Night and the final game of the season coming up Friday night, White said he will continue to try and stress working to put together four tough quarters of football before the season comes to a close, finding a way to go out strong. “Last game, try and go out on a winning note,” White said. “That’s the only thing we can do. Go to work Monday, get ready for this team, Prattville Christian; try to figure out a way to win a football game.”

Generals take the bite out of the Wolves By MELISSA REYNOLDS For Tallapoosa Publishers
Despite going into the game with less-than-stellar records, both Fayetteville and Horseshoe Bend were obviously eager to win a Class 2A Region 4 matchup. With both teams hitting sour notes in their previous games and not being able to put together a strong offensive attack, each were looking to make every point count in Friday night’s game. “This game tonight was about pride,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett said prior to the game. “The guys we have playing tonight are here for the right reasons. They are out here ’cause they love playing and it’s what they want to do.
Fayetteville coach John Limbaugh said, “We are in the same boat as Horseshoe Bend, the same record (1-6, 1-3 prior to the game). We need this win because we are not ready to throw in the towel. We appreciate Horseshoe Bend coming to play tonight; we respect them for what they stand for.” Horseshoe Bend begam the game with monstrous defensive plays stopping Fayetteville offense attack and causing a offensive fumble in the first half to give Horseshoe Bend its first advantage of the night. Horseshoe Bend quarterback Holt Tidwell connected with Adrian Buchanan and Stephon Buchanan to move the team down field and earned See HORSESHOE • Page 12

Horseshoe the team’s first touchdown plus a two-point conversion to put the Generals up 8-0. In the second quarter, HBS started out slow, giving the Wolves the advantage by giving them their first touchdown of the night. They missed the two-point conversion, though, so the Generals still led 8-6. The second quarter turned silent for more than 45 minutes due to an injury to Horseshoe Bend’s Devon Bowen. The Generals’ players and families stood together on the sidelines and in the stand during time praying together for their injured player. Play resumed, but Horseshoe Bend looked sluggish with turnovers and Fayetteville even took a 13-8 lead. But that didn’t stop the fight in the Generals as Stephon Buchanan returned the ensuing kickoff to the end zone for a touchdown, and just like that, Horseshoe Bend was back ahead 16-13 after a successful twopoint conversion. Fayetteville again took to the field being given another chance to rain on the Generals’ parade only to be stopped by Horseshoe Bend’s defense. The Generals’ offense picked up right where it left off with another touchdown and two-point conversion. After a long first half and with Tidwell and his team showing great effort with their offensive plays, the team’s momentum was visibly lifted going into the second half. The third quarter began with Fayetteville kicking off to Horseshoe Bend, and Tidwell once again moving the ball well. The Generals capped off the drive with another touchdown to bring their lead to 28-13. Both teams were caught off guard with consecutive penalties, but the Wolves did connect on a first and 10 with 8:14 left in the third quarter to get into enemy territory. But Buchanan stopped that threat with an

he Central Coosa Cougars continue to search for their first win of the season after being blanked by the LaFayette Bulldogs, 44-0, Friday night in Class 2A Region 4 action. “We were just outmatched,” Coosa coach Brett Thomas said. “All things considered through, they hung in there until the very end.” Donta Daniel and JaMichael Chambliss were among those Thomas felt stood out on both sides of the ball for the Cougars (0-8, 0-5), while Tahj Robbins was among the defensive players who gave it their all in the loss. “They gave it their best,” Thomas said. “They fought until the very end. They gave it 100 percent the whole game, and I can’t complain about that.” Facing adversity has been one of the key things Coosa has dealt with the entire season, but Thomas believed his players have handled it well and is proud of them for continuing to fight as hard as they can, despite having been on an uphill battle the entire year. As the season winds down and only a couple of games remain on the Cougars’ schedule, Thomas said the message he will preach to his players will remain the same. “This game is behind us and we have to move on to the next one,” he said. “If they can continue to persevere like we have, we will overcome that and come out on top.”

Holtville keeps playoff hopes alive with home win By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
It took a while for the Bulldog defense to wake up but once it did, it could not be stopped. Holtville erased an early 10-point deficit to keep its playoff hopes in a 39-19 win over Talladega at Boykin Field on Friday night. The Bulldogs are now 4-0 at home this season. “We just started playing hard,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “It was no rocket science, we just started playing assignment football and doing what we were supposed to do.” Holtville (5-3, 3-3 Class 4A Region 4) got on the board first after a 66-yard run by Drew Nobles set up a 35-yard field goal by senior Tucker Edwards.
Talladega (4-4, 3-2) quickly erased the lead, scoring two touchdowns within two and a half minutes of the Bulldogs scoring. After Holtville had a field goal attempt blocked, it was time for the defense to get into the game. With the ball on its own 34-yard line, Talladega was forced into its first punt of the game. Holtville’s Hunter Martin came around the edge and blocked the punt, allowing the Bulldogs to take over inside the 5-yard line. “I saw I had empty and I was wide open,” Martin said. “I didn’t really think, I just went. I try to stay level headed.” Alex Gibbons took care of the rest, finishing it off two plays later See HOLTVILLE • Page 16

with a 1-yard touchdown run to cut into Talladega’s lead. The Tigers did not get a first down for the rest of the opening half, allowing Holtville to jump back in front. With 3:49 to go in the half, Braxton Buck found Nobles on a swing pass to the right side of the field. Nobles found the sideline and ran 61 yards into the end zone to give Holtville a 17-13 halftime lead. Nobles finished the night with 162 yards of offense on just seven touches. “It was just amazing,” Nobles said. “I knew my blockers worked for me. We had some errors when we started the game but we went on and capitalized on a lot.” Talladega came out in the second half ready to fight and got inside Holtville’s 30-yard line on the opening drive of the third quarter. However, on a fourth down attempt, Martin dropped Talladega quarterback Nigel Scales for the team’s first sack of the night. The Bulldogs continued to harass Scales throughout the second half. After Talladega took a lead with a defensive touchdown, Holtville’s offense began to stall but Martin was not done with Scales. On the first play of Talladega’s next drive, Martin got another sack to set the Tigers back. Holtville forced a punt and got the ball back, trailing by two points going into the fourth quarter. On the drive, the Bulldogs faced a fourth and 7 from the Tiger 39-yard line. Buck was forced to scramble before finding Dajon Reeves on the sideline. Reeves cut back to the middle of the field and ran into the end zone for a touchdown to give Holtville a lead it did not relinquish. Buck finished with 194 passing yards and two touchdowns on just 10 completions. Gibbons added another rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter before finishing with 98 yards on 15 carries.

Holtville will see its postseason fate decided next week when the other six teams in the region finish region play. However, Franklin said there is still
plenty to play for as the team is looking to secure its first winning season since 2010. “We’ve done what we can do tonight,” Franklin said. “What happens, happens. But I think our chances are a lot better now at 3-3 than losing this one and being 2-4. So who knows what happens.”

lmore County defeated Dallas County 42-14 Friday night, securing its first winning season since 2015. The Panthers scored three touchdowns in the second quarter, shaking off a slow start to the game to put the Hornets away before halftime. The victory was just the second road win of the season for the Panthers. “Things started off a little sloppy but we put it together offensively,” Elmore County coach Jordan Cantrell said. “Defense played really well in the first half but we’ve got a lot to work on moving forward.” Elmore County (6-2) took the lead when Antwan Cooks opened the scoring with a 4-yard touchdown run with 2:39 to go in the first quarter. However, the offense could not find consistent success but it got a little help on the defensive side of the ball. ECHS’ Hayden Bass intercepted a ball and returned it 45 yards for a touchdown. The score put the Panthers up 13-0 and sparked the team’s offense for the remainder of the night. “You love getting a pick six,” Cantrell said. “That will get the team fired up and it gave us a boost of energy there. It really got us going.” On Elmore County’s following possession, quarterback Austin Downey connected with Hayden Holton for a 21-yard touchdown pass. D.J. Patrick got his first points of the night on the two-point conversion, putting the Panthers up 21-0. Patrick added his lone touchdown of the game just before halftime on a 29-yard run. He finished with 135 yards and the score on 12 carries. “We know how good he is and his effort level,” Cantrell said. “We’re very confident in the guys who play in front of him and are blocking for him. We had an array of good ball carriers tonight so we’re excited about that.” In the second half, Cooks got on the scoreboard one more time with a 2-yard touchdown run. He finished with 36 yards and two scores on seven carries. Elmore County sat out of region play this week but will make a trip to Lincoln for its final region matchup of the regular season. Cantrell said the team was treating this week as a region game to make sure there would be no letdown. “Every game is very important to us so we just want to go out and compete on a very high level every game,” Cantrell said.

No. 1 Autauga too much for Wildcats in region finale By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
The Edgewood football program has come a long way over the last year. The Wildcats were in a position to play for an AISA-AA Region 1 championship Thursday night but they were no match for the top-ranked team in AISA. Autauga scored four touchdowns in the opening six minutes to put the game away early before winning 61-3. “We knew Autauga was going to be fired up for this ball game,” Edgewood
coach Darryl Free said. “They’re tremendous across the board. They don’t lack much in talent, size or speed.” The Generals (8-1, 5-0) took at 42-0 lead after one quarter behind touchdowns from five different players. Derrion Ashley scored the first two of the game on the ground while quarterback Tripp Carr capped off the scoring with a pair of touchdown passes against Edgewood’s second string defense. The Wildcats (6-3, 4-1) scored their only points of the game on a 42-yard field See EDGEWOOD • Page 19

goal by Robert Stewart on the final play of the first half. Free said he had a plan to pull the starters if the game got out of hand as the team prepares for the postseason. “It was early by time but I had a number in my head,” Free said. “It didn’t matter if it got there in the first quarter or the fourth quarter.” The biggest story of the game was Autauga coach Bobby Carr coaching against his former team. Carr spent 15 years at Edgewood, winning seven state championships before leaving in 2016. “I’m just glad we got it behind us,” Carr said. “It’s been a long time coming. I spent 15 great years at Edgewood and we had something special but it was time to move on. I’m glad they got their program up and running again. Coach Free has done a good job with those guys.” There was a lot of negative talk between Carr and the Edgewood program since he left the school. To combat against that idea, the two teams met at midfield prior to the start of the game for a prayer in front of the packed crowd at Generals Field. “There had been a lot of negativity over the last three years,” Carr said. “I called them and asked if they would meet our team at midfield to pray. I knew it would be a good crowd but it’s like NASCAR. People don’t go to see who wins; they go to see the wrecks. And I think a lot of people expected that but that’s not what we wanted.” As expected, there were a couple of personal foul penalties and a few jeers from both stands throughout the game but the teams showed mutual respect once the game was over as opponents turned back to friends and shook hands before saying a postgame prayer. “They’re having a good year,” Edgewood quarterback Alex Johnson (2) hands off to running back Kolby Potts (6) Thursday night. Carr said. “Free is doing a good job with them and the kids have responded. They’ve played with a Many a bit of an edge all year. He’s doing things the right way and I’m sure they’ll bounce back from this and be ready come playoff time.” Edgewood will look to rebound in the regular season finale next week against Success Unlimited. Free said the Wildcats will continue business as usual in practice next week with several goals still ...with the right kind to play for this season. “We have a talented football of advertising. team,” Free said. “So we have to get back to the basics and do what we do to play Edgewood football.
