Local United Way almost halfway to campaign goal By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Thanks to the most successful fashion show to date and a secret donor, the Lake Martin Area United Way has raised $248,090.68 just two months into its annual campaign. Executive director Sharon Fuller read a letter delivered to her just hours before Friday’s campaign update and luncheon. The letter came with a $75 donation from a local retailer. “A long time ago I stole a top from your store,” the anonymous letter read. “I am embarrassed by my actions and See UNITED • Page 3

5 fall traditions to enjoy with family Editor’s Note: This is the fifth in a series where Outlook staff members will write a Halloween-related editorial piece leading up to Oct. 31. By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

There are all sorts of ways to enjoy Halloween. Some like to find the biggest, scariest haunted house to visit. Some like to go all out decorating their homes for family and friends to come to for parties and trick-or-treating. Some like to go find ghosts. While you are enjoying these things, think of ways to include your family and friends to create memories for a lifetime. Don’t forget many things are simple and do not require much effort at all I think of my late boss Mitch Sneed See TRADITIONS • Page 9

he 12th Annual Pink and Teal Fashion Show at Horseshoe Bend School was a huge success Friday with more than 50 students sporting colors for cancer awareness. The event raised funds for Tallapoosa’s Caring Refuge whose mission is to help cancer patients who have needs meeting co-pays, utilities and rent payments while seeking treatment. One of the group’s founders, Stacy Benton, spoke to the student body. It was the second time she spoke, the first being nine years ago after a Stage 4 breast cancer diagnosis where she was only expected to live six months. Benton served as one of the judges for the event and helped name Paislee Grace Sharpe, right, as winner. Abbie Ray was the runner up, Sivana Smith, above, was second and Callie Ray was the third-place winner. Pictured at top, from right, are Sharpe, Abbie Ray, Smith and Callie Ray who all were awarded in the Under the Sea themed fashion show.

DEAR ABBY: A month and a half ago, my boyfriend of five years proposed. We are happy and excited. Most of the wedding party are my friends from college, who are like a family to me. They have also grown very close to my fiance. One friend, “Eden,” defines herself as a “goth.” She wears dark lipstick, dark makeup and usually wears all black -- lace, fishnets, etc. Her casual wear isn’t all that out of place. However, when she dresses up, the goth comes out in full force -- parasol, thigh-high boots, over-the-top stuff (at least to me). She’s invited to our wedding, and I’m concerned that she may go overboard with her wardrobe for the event. I do not wish to stifle her style or sense of self, but the guests will be mostly family and it’s a formal event. Is there a polite way to mention this to her and ask her to tone it down a bit? I don’t want to hurt her

feelings or appear to be stuck up, however I am sure she will be in many of the photos. -- POLITE FRIEND IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR FRIEND: If there will be a wedding party and you have a maid of honor, the responsibility of explaining the “dress code” to Eden should fall to her -- for the reasons you mentioned. Whether Eden takes offense is anybody’s guess, but at least the message won’t come directly from you. If she chooses to ignore the dress code and “come as she is,” focus on your happiness and do not let it ruin your day. As for the pictures, put her in the back. DEAR ABBY: We live in
Las Vegas. Now and then family members in Europe contact us to let us know their adult children will be visiting Vegas and would like to see us. We are retired and would enjoy taking these “youngsters” out for breakfast or lunch on the Strip. But what usually happens is, we wait and wait and receive no call until their departure, then hear all kinds of excuses about why they couldn’t call earlier. This has happened three times now, and our question to you is: What are we supposed to say when they make their departure call? -- READY TO WELCOME IN VEGAS DEAR READY: It is telling that when you receive the initial phone call, it comes from the parents rather than the “kids.” This is what you should say when the “youngsters” call: “Oh, we’re so sorry you couldn’t fit us into your busy schedule, but we understand. Hope you enjoyed your visit. Let us know when you’ll be back in town. Bye!” Then forget about it!

Pumpkin decorations combine science and reading By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
With Halloween fast approaching, pumpkins are taking on all sorts of decorations to celebrate the holiday. At Jim Pearson Elementary School, the school lobby was full of pumpkins dressed up to look like characters from children’s books on Friday. There were pumpkins made to look like Wilbur and Charlotte from “Charlotte’s Web,” Junie B. Jones, Charlie Brown, the Very Hungry Caterpillar, the Man in the Yellow Hat from the “Curious George” books and the mouse of “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.” Jim Pearson principal Jamie Forbus said decorating these pumpkins and making a contest out of it was the brainchild of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) teacher Jerrie Mattox. “She was the one who came up with the contest,” Forbus said. “Each class gathered a pumpkin from the pumpkin
patch on club day and were challenged to decorate them as a character from their favorite book. They also had to put a copy of the book with their pumpkin.” Not only did this give the students a chance to have fun and decorate their pumpkin like they wanted to, but Forbus said this was a way to promote literacy throughout the school by tying science and reading together. Prior to the contest, he said students went over the life cycle of plants, the process of growing a pumpkin and what pumpkins and other plants need to grow in Mattox’s classroom. “I think it went really well,” Forbus said. “It was a really good way to tie the season in with science and reading.” Forbus said there will be judges coming in to look at the pumpkins on Monday, while the contest winners will be announced on Wednesday. Prizes will be awarded to the top three classrooms. “I think Ms. Mattox did a great job with this,” Forbus said. “The kids really enjoyed it. Anything we can do to tie

United have regretted it all these years. I was to obey the 10 Commandments as well as the law. Peer pressure was part of the reason. I had the money to pay for it, but friends thought it would be ‘fun.’ It was not. “I have calculated the approximate value of the top based on today’s dollar. Please find enclosed $75. Kindly accept this money and my sincere apologies for my actions.” Fuller kept the business secret but shared the story with those gathered to hear the campaign update Friday. Another successful fundraiser was last week’s sixth annual Downtown Fashion Show and Silent Auction. “This show, showed out,” Fuller said. “This show was the best ever. We had a huge turnout.” It raised more than $19,000 thanks to 15 VIP tables being purchased and sponsorships from Emporium Wines and Ocie and Belle’s. The last fashion show raised $13,000. The recent quail fry raised $15,217. Some businesses have already completed their campaigns, soliciting donations from employees through the Fair Share Campaign and the businesses themselves making

“All we need is 535 people to give $1,000,” campaign chair James Dowdell said. “Let’s encourage people to join the Red Feather Society.” Just two months in and the campaign is at 46 percent of the goal.

donations. Russell Lands has already raised $43,442.94, and the Alexander City Board of Education has raised $22,759. River Bank & Trust served as the pacesetter for the campaign. Having only 11 employees, they got creative with a raffle given away at the fashion show. Between the employees giving and the raffle, they raised $13,497. Even the 28 agencies the United Way helps fund in the area are involved in the $535,000 campaign. The United Way has

Prevent sickness as weather changes
I
t’s getting darker earlier, and it’s getting cooler outside by the day. Halloween is just a few days away, Thanksgiving will be here before we know it and then Christmas will arrive. It’s soup and chili weather, football season is still in full swing, and many of us are enjoying carving pumpkins and attending fall festivals around Tallapoosa County. While many of us are excited the hot days seem to be behind us, we also need to be on guard to avoid sickness. With a rapid weather change like this, it’s easy to catch a cold or sinus infection. It’s important to take care of yourself and be proactive to prevent getting a cold. Good health habits like washing your hands often can help stop the spread of germs and prevent illnesses. Other tips include:
1. Avoid close contact.
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
2. Stay home when you are sick.
If possible, stay home from work, school and running errands when you are sick. This will help prevent spreading your illness to others.
3. Cover your mouth and nose.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
4. Clean your hands.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcoholbased hand rub.
5. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth.

Pipe bombs show why we need to unite
T
his is going to be the most surprising column you’ll read all day. As I write this, news is breaking out that a suspect is in custody, accused of sending pipe bombs to a former Democratic president, a Democratic presidential candidate, several Democrats in Congress and several people who served in a Democratic administration. News outlets have shown the suspect in question wore a MAGA hat, had no shortage of pro-Trump and anti-Democratic candidate stickers on his van, voted Republican in primaries, had a criminal history and a history of threatening the opposition party. Democrats are going to be sorely tempted to point to this as a case of Trump indirectly inspiring someone to hateful actions. There could be a political advantage to be made out of this sad episode of domestic terrorism. Some will want this to be an “October Surprise” issue for Democrats in the upcoming election. They shouldn’t. In fact, this would be a really good time to engage in one of those great moments in American history where political opponents stand shoulderto-shoulder to block an attack on who we are. We’ve stood together to face foreign threats, came together after a bloody Civil War, and now it’s time to work together to bury one of the most insidious threats to face
JOHN TURES Columnist this country: domestic terrorism. And it will take members of both parties and independents to do it. Since the KKK, America has faced groups and individuals who sought to terrify and even kill political opponents. They use heated political rhetoric to justify their assassinations, bombings and crimes, often masking good old-fashioned hate and personal failings under the guise of some “noble cause.” It’s cooler to be the rebel instead of the loser. Turning the heat up on the opposing party is more likely to do just that, leading to more domestic hate, shootings at Congressional baseball games or killings at Kroger (the shooter in that Kentucky case this week had been blocked from carrying out a Charleston-like church massacre). It will give the tiny percentage of those Americans who want a Civil War all the ammo and justification they need. And there’s evidence beyond a reasonable doubt foreign entities like Russia are exploiting any division they can in America to destroy us. It’s important to note this is a criminal case and a law enforcement solution is where we start. Let’s figure out how to
determine if this suspect is really the guilty one, rather than have an investigation and trial in the court of public opinion, an inferior judicial body to the real thing. Even if this suspect is indeed responsible and all the stuff about his politics is true, let’s see if we can do better — as a country. Seek out someone who you disagree with politically, but find a way to connect with that person. You can agree to disagree with the policies they support, or even find a grudging compromise with someone who believes differently than you. My students from both political sides actually tend to be pretty good at doing this. Seek out groups that unify, like our civic organizations, our community-based clubs or start your own if you can’t find one. That’s one way terrorists lose. It’s important to not let this moment, which is a chance at unification, go to waste. Terrorists don’t just want to scare people; they want copycats as well. But if we use their attacks for political advantage, such domestic terrorism will become part of our politics. It’s the only way the hate groups and our foreign adversaries have any chance of beating us, and U.S. John A. Tures is a professor of political science at LaGrange College in Georgia.

Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious food.

Letter to the Editor
Alex City can still put on a show Dear Editor, On the evening of Thursday, Oct. 25 the Tallapoosa County Republican Party had a very special visitor speak at The Mill Two Eighty in Alex City — Col. Oliver North, current president of the National Rifle Association, acclaimed author, soldier and a hero of the American people. More than 400 citizens had the privilege to attend this event. Col. North was the epitome of the Christian, conservative constitutionalist. Col. North emphasized the importance of voting on Nov. 6 and voting for Republican candidates. Contrary to Mr. James
Anderson’s editorial opinion (which was in The Outlook on Oct. 26) you cannot vote for the person especially when you are talking about Democrats. The Progressive Democratic Socialist Party has no candidates or policies that appeal to the middle class, tax paying, constitutionalist Christian American. The Democratic Party is the party of violence, extremist, anarchist and anti-constitutional obstructionism. The Democrats have no plan for any of the legislation they proclaim will fix our country. More and more people come up to me and tell me I was right 10 years ago when I stated I would never vote for another Democrat and
these people have taken the same stance. On Nov. 6, there will be no blue wave. There won’t even be a blue ripple. I think you will see a red tide sweeping across this country. I predict on Nov. 8, firearm sales will spike because the Democrats, just as in 2016, will not be able to comprehend their loss or why and will resort to violence prompting conservatives to arm up even more. If you wish to see a continued rise in the economy and our borders more secure, I would advise you to vote — and vote Republican. Woody Baird De Opresso Liber

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might not be able to settle down mentally. Your mind seems to be traveling to many diÉ&#x2C6;erent places right now. If you could clone yourself for the day, you still would be busy! Pursue the plans in your mind, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be happier as a result. Tonight: Follow the music. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Listen to a friend who encourages you not to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to new possibilities. Together, you might opt to go somewhere visually pleasing or where great music is played. A loved one reveals a lot more than he or she realizes with just a gesture or expression. Tonight: Be where the action is. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You might have an intriguing dance going on with a companion or potential lover. You will enjoy being in the presence of those who experience intense feelings and magic with each other. Others canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help but notice your broad smile and positive energy. Tonight: All smiles. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your emotions seem to be out of control. You might not be discussing what you are feeling with others. If you can, share some of your thoughts that arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too radical or defensive. You might discover that those around you are receptive. Tonight: The party goes on and on. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) A friendship could play a signiĂ&#x201E;cant role in your day. Also note the possibility of bringing several friends together. Try not to overstructure your day. Leave some room for spontaneity. Confusion could cause a mishap. ConĂ&#x201E;rm details. Tonight: Till the wee hours. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might need to go into work or handle an important responsibility. You could be overwhelmed with what you must do and with the commitments you have outside your home. A loved one teases you with lots of tantalizing ideas Tonight: Make up for lost time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Continue to read between the lines to see what is motivating others. You might opt to meet a friend at a halfway point, perhaps at a fair or Ă&#x2026;ea market. Your imagination adds a lot of color to your plans; do not give up that quality. Tonight: Be where your mind can be entertained. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) One-on-one relating could heat up the emotional waters around you. Passion seems to follow, whether it is negative or positive. Know that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t deny your feelings, yet you do not need to give them a negative attachment. Be open to a serious talk. Tonight: Play the night away. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could have a problem covering all your bases. You might have forgotten that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d already agreed to plans when you said â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to another set of plans. Recognize what is happening. You might want to revisit your schedule once more. Tonight: Defer to others. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could be overwhelmed by what is happening around you. You suddenly might decide to change your plans, especially if you had the idea of completing a project at home. Your popularity peaks. You might want to go oÉ&#x2C6; and complete a project. Tonight: Put your feet up. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Life could get wild, as you might attempt to Ă&#x201E;t in too many people in a short amount of time. Do not be surprised if several friends and/or loved ones change their plans once they realize how busy you are. Make a point of rescheduling ASAP. Tonight: In the limelight. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to spend some time at home. Understand that no matter what, you will not be bored. Even if you have no plans, people will stop by, if just to visit with you brieĂ&#x2026;y. Make it OK to socialize and network to your heartâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s content. Tonight: At a favorite place.

Hand
continued from page 1
Despite serving as both principal and track and field coach, Hand said his first priority is to be the most effective principal he can be, though he does enjoy both roles. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love doing what I do,â&#x20AC;? Hand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is to provide the best possible education for our students. This will make our community and Tallapoosa County a better place as well.â&#x20AC;? Since taking over at Dadeville High School in 2011, Hand has helped oversee a number of programs and ideas implemented to bring improvement and progress to the school. The school began offering Advanced Placement classes in English language arts, math and science, while also piloting a U.S. history AP class. Dadeville High School holds an annual autism pep rally in April, helping students learn and understand more about what autism is and how it can affect those on the autism spectrum. The school also has academic pep rallies to motivate the student body before state testing begins in the spring. The DHS music and fine arts programs have
been expanded, allowing students to find more ways to express themselves through music, art and drama. In a partnership with Auburn University, Dadeville High School started a health fair this year for the 10th-grade class, checking both their physical and mental health. Different branches of the armed forces have times when they are able to distribute information to students potentially interested in serving their country after graduating from high school. Help has also come from the county school board. In January, the Tallapoosa County School System began implementing a one-to-one technology initiative, putting Google Chromebooks in the hands of all high school students throughout the county. The program has now grown to include students in the seventh and eighth grades. Since this program was started, Hand felt the county has done a good job with it, allowing his students additional resources to complete their schoolwork and be successful in the classroom and beyond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try many different
things,â&#x20AC;? Hand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not all of them may work out, but weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to try. I think we are definitely doing something right.â&#x20AC;? Overall, these programs have worked to benefit everyone, Hand said. Dadeville High School currently boasts a graduation rate of approximately 90 percent, while disciplinary issues have shrunk by 30 percent in the previous year. Involvement in the annual autism pep rally has grown, while Dadeville is seeing some of the highest growth in Alabama of students taking AP classes, now numbering seven, and the related AP exam. DHS is the most-represented school at the Edward Bell Career Tech Center, and students are also taking advantage of dual enrollment opportunities the high school and Edward Bell both offer through Central Alabama Community College. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to give our students as many opportunities as possible,â&#x20AC;? Hand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to have something for everyone. I believe our efforts have indeed been successful.â&#x20AC;? As with schools across the state and around the country, Hand says
Dadeville High School faces several challenges on a regular basis. Two of the specific concerns Hand mentioned are funding and increasing parental involvement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some requirements from the state are not funded through the state,â&#x20AC;? Hand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want our parents to be more involved with the school in more ways than just athletic events.â&#x20AC;? Despite these issues, Hand felt the school is able to find ways to overcome them and excel for its students. For example, the school will be holding a family night event in January, inviting students and their parents to come to the school to enjoy a movie together. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our teachers and our students are going to give it their best shot,â&#x20AC;? Hand said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our students deserve the best we can give them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being a principal, this allows me to help students, teachers, parents and the community as a whole. My heart is in this to make sure our students get the very best. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m here. I will support this school in any way possible.â&#x20AC;?
Traditions

who shared many stories of Halloween with everyone â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all included his daughters. One of his favorites included trick-or treating while moving. Another included decorating their home. I would like to create some of those same memories. These are not in any sort of order, just things I would like to do with my son. Some we have already done with him, others we have done but would like to do again and others would like to do more of as he gets older. Maybe these are five fall traditions you take part in with your family members or that can give you ideas of things to do this Halloween season.
Pumpkin patch
There is something about walking the field watching him pick out a pumpkin and picking up. I like to pick one out smaller and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;struggleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to pick it up. It may not seem like much, but oh to see the smile on his face that he is stronger than Daddy. The stories he

Homemade decorations
My son has an imagination and likes to use it. One of the pumpkins we brought home from the pumpkin patch we carved, well he started and I finished under his supervision. We start with one of those preplanned carving kits. Before long, we have tossed the directions aside and are freestyling. Nothing like taking sticks to prop up a carved pumpkin and draping something over it seeing what we can come up with laughing and appreciating our mistakes.
Homemade costumes
Sometimes simple is great. Sometimes the costumes are in our imaginations. My son likes to be invisible from

time to time; I let him. Before long Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the ground on my hands and knees looking for him. He will bump into me from time to time, brush by all while he thinks I think he is invisible. At some point almost every time, he will jump on my back and one of two things almost always happen. I instantly turn into a bucking bull or bronco and him into a cowboy hanging on. Or I will instantly fall to the ground and he will pin me like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.
Cooking
My son likes to get in the kitchen from time to time. My mother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; his grandmother â&#x20AC;&#x201C; loves to take over. Before long, the marshmallows come out along with Rice Krispies. I like to sit back and watch. The smile on his face as he stirs the cereal into the melted liquid marshmallows, soon complaining he is tired of stirring the thick soon to be good treat. Then to watch him act like Superman pressing the concoction into a pan.
I will tease him a little while sampling his work, â&#x20AC;&#x153;breaking a tooth on the hard treatâ&#x20AC;? created with his strength. That smile and laugh lifts any spirits brought down by life.
Making a fire
My father loves his fire. So much so he will set fire to some kindling in his fire pit to start something a humid summer night. In the fall, my son likes to watch the fire with him. He will go find small branches and his grandfather will help him put them on the fire. We will sit around the fire and share stories of the week. Maybe my son likes being one of the guys. Yes, he too will have his cup of chocolate milk sipping away like his daddy and grandpa. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t set your expectations too high. The most important thing is to have fun. These little moments are my most treasured memories and I hope to create more.

HARD-FOUGHT ENDING Wildcats’ season comes to a close versus Pelham
By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Benjamin Russell’s volleyball team ran into one of the best programs in the state during the first round of the South Super Regional tournament in Montgomery on Thursday. The Wildcats lost in straight sets to Class 6A No. 3 Pelham, finishing their season with an 18-9 record. “I’m proud of our fight,” Benjamin Russell coach Magan Ford said. “They could have easily said, ‘Oh, it’s Pelham, we’re done.’ But they fought and I’m proud of them for that.” The Wildcats played evenly with the Panthers early in the first set. After a block from Timira Lawson, Benjamin Russell trailed 8-7. However, Pelham began to take over the match and scored 14 of the next 15 points before winning the opening set 25-12. The Panthers continued their strong play in the second set. Pelham jumped out to an early lead but could not finish off the set without some fight from the Wildcats. Benjamin Russell got to within four points of the lead but fell short as Pelham took the second set 25-16. “We got more balls and passes up and just kept fighting in all three sets,” Ford said. “Even until the very end, I thought we had a chance because of how hard they
were fighting so I was proud of that.” Benjamin Russell continued that fight but could not find a rhythm against the Panthers. Pelham finished off the match with a 25-12 win in the third set. Sarah Rogers led the Wildcats in kills during the match, finishing with three on 14 attacks. Brooklyn Edwards, who led the team in kills this season, finished with two in the loss against Pelham. In her last match with the team, senior Baylee Adkins finished with three digs and was 10 for 16 on receiving serves. She finished the season with a team-high 43 digs to go along with 25 aces and eight kills. Ford said Adkins’ leadership ability has been her biggest impact this season. “At the beginning of the season, everyone was questioning what we would have because we were so young,” Ford said. “But we’ve proven to everybody that we’re going to be around and we’re going to compete. That comes from these seniors and their leadership. They worked and the younger girls fed off of their work ethic.” Benjamin Russell will lose only two seniors off this year’s roster: Adkins and Handley Owens. The Wildcats will return eight of their players which

played in the super regional on Thursday. Ford hopes the experience can be another step for the program as it looks to build on a successful season. And she said playing against a team like Pelham can help. “Playing in a game with that speed and against girls with those instincts shows us what we want to be,” Ford said. “We see we can compete with them but we’ve got to take that next step. It sets the tone for summer workouts.”
Dentons complete Alabama Scenic River Trail journey By DAVID RAINER Department of Conservation and Natural Resources
Adventure apparently has no time constraints for cousins Will and John Denton, who decided to make the 650-mile journey along the Alabama Scenic River Trail recently after answering two questions. “John was just finishing up hiking the Appalachian Trail, so he had the camping experience,” said 79-year-old Will. “But, he didn’t know if he could paddle that far. I’ve been kayaking for about 40 years, so I knew I could do the paddling. But I didn’t know if I could sleep on the ground.” Even though John was not an experienced paddler, he was considering a trip down the Mississippi River before Will found a better idea. “I had given that some thought, and I might be interested in doing that with him,” said Will of the trip down the mighty Mississippi. “About the same time, I found out about the Alabama Scenic River Trail (ASRT), and I suggested we try that first.” The two decided to combine their skills to start the paddle about 4 miles from the Alabama line in Georgia. The fact Will’s home on Lake Martin wouldn’t be that far away should something go awry also contributed to the decision. Will had paddled only a few miles of the ASRT, Moccasin Gap just below Jordan Dam to Wetumpka, and had no idea what to expect on the rest of the trail. “Except for Moccasin Gap, it was all new to both of us,” Will said. Will loaded up his trusty kayak with supplies for the trip while John, 66, opted for a Verlen Kruger vessel,

kayak-canoe hybrid. They paddled across the state line and headed down through the six lakes on the Coosa system. “It took us five or six days to kind of hit a rhythm and find a pace that was comfortable,” Will said. “We could paddle about 3 miles an hour with no more exertion than if you were walking. We were comfortable paddling at about the same speed.” The paddlers saw a variety of wildlife during the trip, although Will admitted John was more inclined to notice because of his passion for hunting. “John is a big turkey hunter,” Will said. “He spent more time looking for stuff along the bank. He would call my attention to some things. Sometimes we paddled side by side. Sometimes we were on opposite sides of the river. We were looking for eagles quite a bit. “On our (Coosa) lakes part of the trip, we averaged seeing about an eagle a day. By the time we got to Wetumpka and Montgomery, we didn’t see any more from there south.” Will said the biggest interest from friends and family he’s told about the
trip, which began Sept. 1, is the numbers of snakes the duo encountered. “I saw one cottonmouth and John didn’t see any,” Will said. “He saw six alligators when we got to the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. He pointed two of those out to me. He saw a bobcat. We heard a bunch of hogs at night. We saw deer, and we saw a lot of fish-eating water birds. Interestingly, we saw more of those in the upper end.” Will, a former public health administrator, and John, a retired farmer from the Mississippi Delta, had only a couple of episodes of difficult paddling during the adventure. “Really, we had one day on Logan Martin when we had an afternoon trying to get to School Bus Island,” Will said. “We paddled into a strong headwind for two or three hours to get to the island, which was a wonderful campsite. It was about our only option to camp on the lower end of the lake because it is all developed down there. Until we got to Mobile Bay, that was the hardest day of paddling. “When I look back at the pictures I took on the way, the water was as slick and calm as it could be.
The water conditions were wonderful.” During the time on the Coosa section, rainstorms popped up all around them, but they encountered only a couple of light showers. It turned out to be the calm before the storm. “We didn’t hardly get the tents wet until we got into the Alabama River,” Will said. “We were below Montgomery when we got caught in a storm. The people who had invited us to stay with them that night saw the storm coming and came out in a pontoon boat and towed us back to their house.” The other significant storm the Dentons weathered was during a stay above Claiborne Lock and Dam at the Isaac Creek Campground lock. Fortunately, they had their tents up when the rain started about 4:30 that afternoon. “It rained hard until about 10:30 that night,” Will said. “When we got up the next morning to go through the lock, that lock drop is usually about 30 feet. But the drop that morning was only 15 feet because the river was already up 15 feet below the dam. We had that extra push all the way until we ran into some tidal situations in the Delta. We made much better time than we normally would have. “And I really didn’t have a problem sleeping on the ground. I guess part of it was we were pretty tired at the end of the day.” The Dentons’ routine was to paddle all day and get camp set up in time to eat and be in the tents before the mosquitoes came out in force at dusk. “We really didn’t have a major mosquito problem like John is used to in the Mississippi Delta,” Will said. “One time early in the trip, we couldn’t find
a place to camp on the upper end of Lay Lake. We finally found a creek and went way back up the creek. We finally did find a place and got our camp set up. The mosquitoes weren’t bad at all. “Afterwards, John told several folks, ‘We were so far back in woods, the mosquitoes hadn’t even found that place.’” Will said the ASRT has identified a significant number of campsites on their website at www. alabamascenicrivertrail. com that paddlers can take advantage of, including those on the Bartram Canoe Trail (www. alabamacanoetrails.com ) in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. “One of the things that stands out to me is the Alabama Scenic River Trail Association has what they call river angels, like the Appalachian Trail,” he said. “Their names and phone numbers are listed on the website. When we started working on this trip, some of the ASRT people contacted some of the trail angels along the way.” Denton said two couples on the Alabama River sent word that they wanted the paddlers to stay overnight with a hot shower, supper and bed at their disposal. “These couples could not have been nicer,” Will said. “The visits were delightful. One lady in Fairhope moved one of our trucks for us, twice. The couple from Selma drove one of our trucks to Fairhope so it would be there when we got there. These are people with knowledge and interest in the trail. It really was one of the neatest things about the trip.” After a rather leisurely paddle on most of the trip, the Dentons didn’t realize how they would be tested once they hit Mobile Bay. “Probably the only
uncomfortable moments we had were when we were paddling in the bay,” Will said. “Going from Fairhope to the Nelson Shipyard in Bon Secour, we had a dead headwind. I keep my phone on a lanyard around my neck. I got two or three texts that I couldn’t answer. If I had stopped paddling to check the texts, I would have been going backwards. I paddled for all I was worth for about three hours. I slept well that night. “There were a lot of things that I will remember. The difficulty of the last two days was memorable. The only whitewater we had was at Moccasin Gap, but we had whitecaps on Mobile Bay.” On the 34th day of the trip, the Dentons paddled from Oyster Bay to Fort Morgan to complete the adventure. Will said he is proud of the accomplishment, but he doesn’t want people to focus on his age. “I really don’t think my age has any bearing on it,” he said. “It’s a function of what kind of condition you’re in. I’ve got friends older than I am that are in better shape than I am. Some folks tend to slow down when they get to some magic number and don’t stay as active. I just paddled 650 miles, so, yeah, I feel good about that. Being gone 34 days, if my wife (Charlotte) had not been supportive, I probably wouldn’t have done it. I’m glad I did it. I feel good I did it. “I would tell anybody who thinks they want to do this trip that they can’t do it any younger than they are right now.”

Dadeville demolishes Prattville Christian to end season By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
The Dadeville Tigers came roaring out of the gate Friday night against the Prattville Christian Academy Panthers, wrapping up its first season in Class 3A Region 3 with a 45-7 victory to end the year on a high note and send the seniors out with a bang. “Tonight, they showed you what they’re capable of doing,” Dadeville coach Richard White said. “It’s just, we’ve been snakebit all year long with things happening to us, like giving people 13, 14 points to start the game. We didn’t do that tonight. I know we had a couple turnovers, but we pretty much played error-free ball. I thought everybody played well; offense, defense, kicking game all played well and that’s
what they’re capable of doing when they put it all together. I’m just glad we went out on a winning note.” Dadeville (3-7, 2-5) came out of the gate like a team on fire, forcing the Panthers (3-6, 2-5) into a three and out. Despite having to punt on their first possession, the Tigers did move the ball some, showing they could gain momentum. The Tigers looked like they would find the end zone fairly early on after recovering a Prattville Christian fumble at the Panther 12-yard line. However, Dadeville fumbled the ball right back, giving PCA the ball at its own 1. The defense lessened the impact of the turnover, though, as the Tigers forced quarterback Ethan Jones to fumble the

ball out of the back of the end zone, giving Dadeville a 2-0 lead, an advantage it never looked back from. Slade McCullers was on point throughout the first half, tossing three touchdown passes to help give Dadeville a 31-0 halftime lead. He found Cooper Childers open for a 19-yard score in the first quarter, Jamarion Wilkerson from 66 yards out and Childers again from the Panther 12 in the second frame, while Joshua Taylor added a 45-yard rushing touchdown. While the Tiger offense hung plenty of points on the scoreboard, Dadevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense locked down on Prattville Christian, maintaining a shutout for more than 44 minutes, not allowing the Panthers to find paydirt until there was only 3:33 left in the game. The Tigers forced four fumbles, recovering two and having one lead to the opening safety. They also had eight tackles for a loss, while Wilkerson and Owen Hartley each snagged an interception with Hartleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming as the final whistle sounded. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We finally started executing what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been taught all year long,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We tackled well. We had 11 hats getting to the football on defense. Offensively, I thought we executed pretty much 90 percent of everything we did in the right way.â&#x20AC;? Christian Nelson broke free for a 31-yard touchdown in the third quarter, while a bad Prattville Christian snap rolled out of the end zone for the second safety of the night to put Dadeville up 39-0. Prattville Christian finally reached the end zone late in the game on a 2-yard run from Preston Cox, but Dadeville got the points right back when Ladarrius Moore turned the corner at the Tigers 22-yard line and raced 78 yards to the house. With the game well in hand in the second half, White began making sure all of his seniors got in on the action, while other players were moved around to gain experience at other positions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get everybody in, but we got all our seniors in the game and that was the main thing. They all played and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the main thing,â&#x20AC;? White said.

Despite ending the year with a 3-7 record and missing the playoffs, White said the team he saw take the field Friday night leaves him feeling positive

Wetumpka suffers defeat at hands of Muscle Shoals
By CRAIG THOMAS Times Daily
Its playoff standing secure as a No. 2 seed entering the final game of the regular season, Muscle Shoals game against Wetumpka served the Trojans primarily as a chance to learn and test themselves against a quality opponent. The 10th-ranked Trojans did not treat the game with any less seriousness, however, and that was evident in a first half that carried them to victory over Class 6A, No. 6 Wetumpka. Muscle Shoals built a 24-point halftime lead and held on from there for a 24-14 win. “I thought probably on both sides of the ball, probably the best game we’ve played. We need to do that going into the playoffs,” Muscle Shoals coach Scott Basden said. “Man, we really need this week off. We’ve got a lot of injuries and (people) banged up, but I’m proud of the way the kids came out and played.” Both teams will enter the postseason with 8-2 records and have a week off before the Class 6A playoffs start. Muscle Shoals scored on four straight first-half possessions. A defensive stop and muffed punt put the Trojans in great field position to set up a 23-yard Jacob Bishop touchdown pass to Ty Smith. The Trojans padded their lead with a 63-yard drive ending with a Kevon Hankins 6-yard touchdown, a 39-yard field goal by Trey Stoddard and a 61-yard Hankins TD run, all sandwiched around Wetumpka punts. Wetumpka had minus-8 yards of total offense until its last drive of the half, when it got to the Trojan 19 but ran out of time. “I just thought the guys were locked in all week,” Basden said. “They’ve never played this group and had a lot of respect for them. They were just really focused.” In the third quarter, Wetumpka came alive. Tyquan Rawls completed a fourth-

Tallassee falls in seesaw affair against Beauregard By JUSTIN LEE Opelika-Auburn News
Ashton Moss tucked the ball in his right arm, skipped by a defender and skirted his way around a block to the outside. Then his eyes pushed upfield, he said, and all he saw was the end zone. “I’m thinking, ‘We just iced this game. We just won it,’” Moss said. Moss broke free to score the game-winning 30-yard touchdown with just more than three minutes to play, and Beauregard defeated Tallassee 26-21 in a pivotal game for Class 5A Region 2, clinching the Hornets a home game in the postseason, and ending Tallassee’s season just short of the playoffs. Beauregard won to move to 5-4 on the season and 4-2 in the region during the league’s last week of
“They fought hard. They played hard. We just made a few less plays than Beauregard, and they made a few more. So, they won the ballgame.” — Mike Battles Tallassee coach play, clinching the region’s No. 2 seed, as the Hornets finished behind only region-winning Greenville (8-1, 6-0).
Beauregard will host Pleasant Grove in the first round of the Class 5A state playoffs. Tallassee fell to 5-4 (3-3) and will miss the playoffs due to tiebreaker rules. The visiting Tigers scored to go ahead in the late stages midway through the fourth quarter, when quarterback Kalvin Levett broke loose for a 45-yard touchdown run to score with 5:32 to go, capitalizing moments after a successful fake-punt pass kept the Tigers in the game as they trailed with the clock ticking down in the final frame. After Levett’s score, the Tigers went for two to take the lead, and Trent Cochran-Gill punched the ball in to put Tallassee up 21-20. But that’s when Beauregard pushed back down the field for its game-winning drive, capped by Moss’s run on a draw play around right end that set him loose. See TALLASSEE • Page 6

Moss faked left on the snap from the 30-yard line then, after a beat, stepped back across and in front of quarterback Quatavious Seroyer, who stuffed the ball in Moss’s gut before he sped by a defender, followed a block. He then pushed his way around an edgesealing block by Hornets receiver Isaiah McKissic at the 20. Moss powered past a draping wouldbe tackler at the 10 then tight-roped down the sideline front there to the goal line. On Tallassee’s last-ditch Hail Mary in the waning moments minutes later, McKissic pulled down an interception as time expired to end it, capping his stellar night. McKissic finished the game 10 catches for 141 yards and two touchdowns, while pulling down two interceptions on defense. “It was a hard-fought battle between two teams,” Beauregard coach Rob Carter. Carter said he was confident in his offense as the unit stepped out on the field for that game-deciding drive in the fourth. Beauregard led 20-13 at the half and held that lead going into the fourth, before Levett’s big touchdown run and that two-point conversion flipped the energy in Hornet Stadium. Beauregard was charged with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after that long touchdown run, giving Tallassee the chance to assess the penalty on the point-after and go for a 1-yard two-point conversion attempt to take the lead. “Hey, I’ve got to be positive,” Carter said, of the sideline after that Tallassee score. “I’ve got to tell the kids. ‘Hey, don’t worry about it. Offense, put on a show. Let’s go down.’” The Beauregard offense did just that and put on that show on that eight-play scoring drive capped by Moss’s touchdown. Early in the series, Seroyer hit McKissic for six yards to convert a fourth-and-4 play from Beauregard’s own 39-yard line. Later in the series Seroyer fired to

Lincoln 27, Elmore County 0
ECHS playoff hopes evaporate with meltdown
By DAVID GOODWIN For Tallapoosa Publishers
The calculus determining Elmore County’s playoff hopes was complex, but the Class 4A region 4 champion Lincoln’s domination of the Panthers was simple and complete. The Panthers’ 27-0 loss at Lincoln coupled with Handley’s 35-21 win over Talladega left ECHS outside the playoff picture. The Panthers close the season 3-3 in the region, tied with Holtville for the final playoff berth. But the tiebreaker is the team’s performance against the champion Golden Bears, according to ECHS head coach Jordan Cantrell. The Bulldogs shocked Lincoln at Boykin Field, 23-21, giving them the cherished playoff berth. “Everyone said we were in after (a 24-14 over) Childersburg,” he said, recalling the celebratory atmosphere after that win two weeks ago. “We tried to look at all the scenarios, and we missed it. I take responsibility for that.” The Panther offense never really got going Friday night, gaining just 131 yards against a stingy Lincoln defense. Tailbacks DJ Patrick and Antwan Cooks never found running room, combining for just 68 total yards. Quarterback Austin Downey completed six passes on 21 attempts with one interception. “Our offense did not click in the running game or the passing game tonight,” Cantrell said. “We did not execute, especially up front, and I that’s something I take ownership of.” Lincoln runners Shamar Hampton

and Cam Reynolds maintained nonstop pressure on the Panther defense. Of the Bears’ 290 total yards on offense, 260 came on rushes. Cantrell noted his defense allowed only two scores, a touchdown by Hampton in the first quarter and one by Reynolds in the third quarter. Reynolds added a 45-yard punt return score in the second quarter. And in the fourth quarter, Jeremy Lane got to punter Joseph Stockman for the block and Eziyah Carter covered the ball in the end zone. “Lincoln is a really good football team – obviously,” Cantrell said, as the Golden Bears (7-2, 5-1) cel-
ebrated the region title in the north end zone. “And you can’t make those kinds of mistakes against that type of team.” The Panthers’ longest offensive play came on a 43-yard third-down completion from Downey to Jason Aguilar. But the drive sputtered three plays later. Hayden Holton and Thomas Bass also combined to force and recover a fumble in the fourth quarter. The Panthers (6-3, 3-3) will close the season at home Friday, as they welcome the Class 5A Tallassee Tigers in another renewal of the annual Halloween showdown.

Generals can’t find offense on the road vs. LaFayette By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Horseshoe Bend had a glimmer of hope in the first quarter as it traveled to Lafayette, but it was short-lived as the Generals lost the Class 2A Region 4 matchup 35-6 Friday night. The Generals were down 7-0 after turning the opening drive over to the Bulldogs on. Bulldog quarterback Jaelin McCurdy was pitching to Victor Tolbert in the backfield, but it was a lateral and off target. The Generals’ Stephon Buchanan scooped up the ball from the wet ground and returned the fumble untouched 65 yards for the score. After missing the PAT, the Generals
trailed 7-6, but the Generals could never hold onto the momentum. LaFayette never looked back in the 35-6 Horseshoe Bend loss. “Stephon made a great play on that fumble recovery,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett said. The short handed Generals (2-7, 2-4) were outmanned all night allowing LaFayette to go in the locker room at the half 27-6, but it was not as close as the scoreboard said. LaFayette was allowed to accumulate 225 yards of offense in the opening half and McCurdy tossed three touchdown passes of 12, 15 and 22 yards in the first quarter and another 21-yard toss for a score in the second frame. The Bulldogs See HORSESHOE • Page 9

Horseshoe amassed 112 yards on the ground. LaFayette also had 10 penalties for 77 yards in the first half. The Generals struggled to find a rhythm in the game and advanced the ball only 25 yards in the first half and 48 yards in the second half under a running clock. Averett was proud of what his team did under the circumstances of losing players over the last few weeks. “We have a ton of injures right now and are shorthanded,” he said. “We just did what we could. We got a few things kind of going, had a couple of chances.” Averett was referring to when his Generals were about to punt from their on territory when back-to-back LaFayette penalties gave Horseshoe Bend a first down only to turn around fumble the ball. Buchanan was the bright spot for the Generals, rushing for 61 yards on 19 carries. Quarterback Holt Tidwell threw the ball down the field 13 times completing two passes to Lee Norrell and Lupe Mancillas while throwing one interception. Horseshoe Bend now has no hope of post-season play. Averett is hoping the Generals will have a better showing next Friday night on the road. “We should get a few guys back next week,” he said. “We will get a couple more healthy and that will help our depth a little bit.” But Averett is also worried. “I know Prattville Christian has won about three,” he said. “They are in a higher classification and means they will be bringing more people – bigger people than us. We will just go and try to finish strong and play one more for these seniors. Hopefully get a win for them.”

Reeltown upset by Ranburne in season finale By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
I
f you were to look up “Murphy’s Law” in the dictionary Friday night, you’d probably see Reeltown’s picture. Nothing seemed to go right for the Rebels in a non-region football showdown with Ranburne, and it resulted in a 19-7 loss. “Everything that could’ve went wrong did go wrong because it was 100 percent our fault,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “We dictated that.” It seemed like the Rebels (8-2) might cruise past the stifling Ranburne Bulldogs (7-2), as the game started with the momentum entirely in Reeltown’s favor. On the first play from scrimmage,
Reeltown’s Rhasheed Wilson picked off Ranburne quarterback Josh Ralston to set the offense up near midfield to begin. Cameron Faison bullied up the middle for 2 yards, then Keke Hughley reeled off a 15-yard rush, and it looked like Reeltown would do what Reeltown does — run the ball down an opponent’s throat and dominate defensively. That ended quickly. The Rebels lost 3 yards over the course of the next three plays and were forced to punt. In fact, the Rebels didn’t have a first down for the rest of the first half, and it was Ranburne that looked like a well-oiled machine, putting together long drives, killing time off the clock and finishing those drives with touchdowns.

Reeltown After the mishap to start the game, the Bulldogs ran the ball extremely well and didn’t pass again until the final play of the first half. “They just beat us up front on both sides of the ball,” Johnson said. “We weren’t disciplined on defense. We played pitiful the first half. Second half, I was a lot more pleased with how we played but I was extremely disappointed with how we finished.” But by the time Reeltown got things together, it was too little too late. Ranburne scored on all three of its drives in the first half. The first was a 13-yard rushing score by Christian Smith, then the Bulldogs added a 6-yard rush for a touchdown by Ralston near the beginning of the second quarter. On the final drive of the first half, the Bulldogs had a touchdown called back due to an ineligible receiver, but they tried again three plays later and Ralston connected with Caleb Hornsby for a 27-yard score. “We had a lot of missed tackles,” Johnson said. “But a lot of that was they were still running full speed through the whistle and we were just expecting someone else to finish the play.” Reeltown fumbled on the final play of the first half and went into the locker room looking bruised and broken. Whatever Johnson said to his Rebels in that locker room, though, seemed to click — at least early on. Reeltown once again started strong in the second half, and it got a break it desperately needed when Ranburne fumbled a punt return and Jay Corbitt recovered it to set the Rebel offense back up inside enemy territory. Unfortunately for the Reeltown faithful, it didn’t get to see the team in blue and white capitalize on the opportunity. In the fourth quarter, the Rebels finally got something on the board when Keon Cooper recovered a Ranburne fumble inside the red zone, and two plays later, Trey O’Neal ran it in from 6 yards out for the Rebels’ only score of the night. “The main adjustment we made was defensively,” Johnson said. “What we were doing defensively wasn’t working.

Reeltown’s marching band celebrated Halloween by dressing up in costumes for its halftime performance Friday night.
We were in a three-man front so halfway through the second quarter, I called a timeout down there and we adjusted real quick and got back to a four-man front. Once we did that, though, we still weren’t disciplined.” O’Neal had a heckuva performance on Senior Night. Not only did he score
the Rebels’ only touchdown, he also led the team with 10 tackles, including eight solo stops and two for a loss. Jordan Whitlow, also a senior, finished with eight tackles. The Rebels will now have to go back to the drawing board, spending their upcoming bye week making some adjust-
ments and waiting for their first-round playoff opponent to be decided. “We just gotta get better in both phases of the game,” Johnson said. “We weren’t very good on offense or defense tonight. We gotta shake it, figure out who we’re playing and work on us and get better.”

Bulldogs grab road win as playoff fate decided elsewhere By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Holtville was unsure of its playoff fate entering Friday night’s non-region battle at Oak Grove. The Bulldogs did not let the distractions affect their own result though, defeating the Tigers 30-0 behind a big first half. Despite the victory, Holtville coach Jason Franklin felt his team did not perform up to its potential. “I didn’t think we played real well,” Franklin said. “I was disappointed in our effort on the offensive side of the ball tonight. We missed some opportunities early. I know they were wondering about what’s going on too but our focus was to go out there and play then we’ll see what happens.” Holtville finished up region play last week and its playoff fate was going to be decided by the game between
Talladega and Handley. The Bulldogs (6-3) jumped out of the gates early with two touchdowns in the first four minutes of the game but seemed to take the foot off the gas as the game went on. Alex Gibbons rushed for 43 yards on the opening drive, capping it off with a 2-yard touchdown run to give Holtville a 7-0 lead. The touchdown came after just 49 seconds of the game, getting the Bulldogs off to a quick start. “It felt pretty good,” Gibbons said. “It showed some effort and we kept that going and kept that momentum.” Gibbons added another touchdown late in the first half. The junior running back finished with 140 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries. “He’s gotten better every week,” Franklin said. “He’s being steady, protecting the football and he’s hitting the holes a lot faster. When he hits it, he can rip off some big runs for us.”
The passing game struggled during the cold night. Holtville quarterback Braxton Buck completed just 10 of 22 pass attempts and was intercepted twice. However, he did throw touchdown passes to JaDarius Carter and Dajon Reeves, finishing with 172 yards through the air. Friday’s win snapped a three-game losing streak on the road but Franklin is still concerned about the performances away from Boykin Field. Despite the weather, Franklin said he doesn’t think the temperature changed how the team played. “I don’t think it had any effect on us; I think it’s getting on a bus and getting out of the norm,” Franklin said. “We’ve got to figure this travel thing out. I just thought we were sluggish tonight.” Holtville’s defense held the Tigers (0-10) to 50 yards of total offense and forced two turnovers. Hunter Martin
had a strip sack in the second quarter and finished with 3.5 tackles and two sacks. Tristan Bullard had a late interception for the Bulldogs. As the game ended, chatter of the Handley score began to ring around the Holtville sideline. The team finished up in the locker room and loaded on the bus before the game went final. According to Franklin, the team stayed at the stadium before hearing the final score. Handley defeated Talladega 35-21, securing Holtville’s first playoff appearance since 2010. “The kids went crazy; the coaching staff went crazy,” Franklin said. “It’s just been a long time. We’re just so proud and happy. We just wish we weren’t two hours from home to celebrate.” Franklin said he’s pleased with where the team is now but there are now more obstacles ahead.

T
hings did not come easy for Edgewood Academy’s football team during its regular season finale Thursday night. On a cold and rainy night in Montgomery, the Wildcats erased a first quarter deficit and ran to a 35-14 victory over Success Unlimited. Edgewood (7-3) will return to the field next week for the start of postseason play. “We talked about it before the game that these conditions would be different than we’ve played all year,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “And it was a Thursday night, before a playoff game, so it was a typical situation for a letdown. So I challenged them to stay focused and stay sharp.” Both teams struggled to deal with the weather early in the game. Success fumbled the opening kickoff, allowing Edgewood to take over inside the 25-yard line. The Wildcats saw their first offensive snap go wide of the quarterback, losing 11 yards. However, Kolby Potts took the handoff on the next play and ran 35 yards for the opening touchdown. Edgewood’s lead did not last long as Success’ Jamari Smith connected with Andre Wesley for a touchdown pass with 2:34 to go in the opening quarter. A two-point conversion by the Mustangs gave them an 8-7 lead. The Wildcats could not respond on their next drive, turning the ball over on downs inside the 20. However, after a short punt by Success, the Wildcats quickly retook the lead on a 34-yard touchdown pass from Alex Johnson to Kaleb Varner. “I knew I had to grip it harder and focus in on my spots,” Johnson said. “I just threw it and my receiver got up under it and caught it for a touchdown.” The Mustangs (2-8) leveled the score once again on another touchdown pass by Smith. With the score tied 14-14, Success had a chance to take the lead before halftime but Edgewood’s Tyler Abernathy intercepted a pass to put the Wildcats in good field position. Edgewood drove 69 yards on six plays in 94 seconds to take the lead. The drive was capped off by two passes from Johnson to Jackson Welch, including a 19-yard touchdown pass. “We definitely needed that to happen,” Free said. “We needed an opportunity to throw the ball and Alex stepped up and made some great passes.” Despite the conditions, Johnson made the passes when he was called upon. The sophomore quarterback completed five of his six pass attempts for 82 yards and the pair of touchdowns. “We knew we were going to need to throw it to open up the run game again,” Johnson said. The running game opened up when the rain returned in the second half. Potts and Abernathy both added a touchdown run in the final two quarters, giving Edgewood the 35-14 win. Potts finished with 163 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries. Edgewood’s defense stepped up in the second half, keeping Success off the scoreboard and limited the See EDGEWOOD • Page 15

offense to just 59 yards. The Wildcats forced four turnovers on the night. Cade Bazzell led the team with 3.5 tackles for a loss. “We made a few adjustments at halftime and they worked pretty well in the second half,” Free said. “(Smith) is a dynamic player that you have to game plan for.” As Edgewood began to pull away in the fourth quarter, penalty flags began to fly against the Success sideline. Free has preached mental toughness to his team all season and he said Thursday was a perfect example of when it is needed the most. “We focus on us and don’t worry
about the other team,” Free said. “That all comes into play right there. You control what you can control by winning the game and doing what you’re supposed to do.” Success Unlimited was called for 16 penalties for 145 yards and had one player and a coach ejected from the game for things said to an official. Edgewood was called for only six penalties during the game. “We’ve seen a lot of chippiness in games this season and it’s just taught us to be more mentally strong as a team,” Abernathy said. “We’re pretty bonded so we can just look at each other and say ‘chill out’ and it will be all right.”

Just as Central Coosa’s football team expected, Thorsby’s passing game was just too much for the Cougars in a Class 2A Region 4 matchup on Friday night. “They can pass so well,” Central Coosa coach Brett Thomas said. “We literally have no defensive backs. (Xavier) Moon got hurt; (Xzavion) McKinney got hurt, so I have a ninth-grader and linebackers trying to play cornerback. Thorsby just passed the ball over and over again.” That was the recipe for success for the Rebels in a 60-8 defeat of the Cougars. Jashaslin James scored the only touchdown of the night for Coosa (0-9, 0-6). After a pair of long runs by Tahj Robbins, who was inserted at fullback, and TD Parker, James ran the ball in from 10 yards out to finally put the Cougars on the board in the fourth quarter. Despite the loss, Thomas said he still continued to have the same standouts with James, Donta Daniel and Robbins all having strong performances. “Tahj Robbins always plays well defensively,” Thomas said. “He was all over the field. We did pass a little bit too. JaMichael (Chambliss) caught a couple decent passes, but overall, we were just outmanned. They had their passing game, and it was great.” Central Coosa wraps up the season next week at Talladega Central on Thursday, but Thomas said he’s a little worried about lack of players after a slew of injuries against Thorsby. Keonta Hines twisted his ankle, another player had a concussion and starting punter Levi Hadaway scratched his cornea. Despite all that, Coosa will hope to continue its improvement and go out on a high note next week.
