Dadeville, Goodwater awarded block grants Towns will receive $250,000 each from the state to help address dilapidated houses, buildings By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Government leaders in Goodwater and Dadeville are celebrating today after Rep. Mark Tuggle confirmed that both cities have received $250,000 Community Development Block Grants to help clean up dilapidated structures. The grants are distributed using criteria devised by the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs. “It is great to see two towns in our area be awarded this grant,” Tuggle said. “I tell people all the time that there are lots of ways to get help with problems like there. The important thing is for them to per persistent and be willing to do their part of the front end and we will do what we can to help once it gets to our level. “I know Dadeville has some needs and even though

listed 49 residential properties that qualified for use of the funds. City Council Member Mickey Tarpley said he was grateful to all who worked to secure the funding. “It’s one of those things where you apply and you just keep your fingers crossed,” Tarpley said. “We applied back in June and to get word that we got it today is very welcome news. When we were doing the application, we were able to identify 63 structures or properties that needed to be addressed and many of those in our central downtown area. So to be able to get these funds for the match that we will provide makes great sense. “It will enable us to do some tremendous good in Submitted / The Outlook Dadeville.

Patriotic tunes will be coming from the stage at the Benjamin Russell High School Auditorium as Alexander City Arts Inc. hosts the Capital Sounds Concert Band Nov. 5 at 7 p.m. “It is a 45-piece orchestra band that will be playing patriotic music,” Alexander City Arts President John Forrester said. “It will be a Veterans Day Program.” Forrester explained the group may be made of volunteers but that shouldn’t keep music lovers away. “It is a volunteer group,” Forrester said. “But they are very professional. Most are from around the Montgomery area.” Many around Alexander City may remember them. “They have been here before,” Forrester said. “They were very good.”

Gifted students at Radney Elementary School are learning just how clean Lake Martin is. “You see this snail?” Lake Watch’s Dick Bronson asks. “What direction does the snail turn? A student responds right. “What does that mean?” Bronson asks again. “It means the lake is clean,” another student says. “That’s right, the right-handed snails mean clean water,” Bronson responds. “Now the left-handed snail is a different story.” The students were being assisted by Bronson and volunteers from Alabama Water Watch learning three ways to test water. “There are three techniques for determining water quality that we are using with the students,” Bronson said. “Biology, bacterial and chemical. We just want to teach them about nature and the environment. To be better stewards of what is around them, birds, critters and water. We See LESSON Page 9

DEAR ABBY: I am a 13-yearold girl. For the past few years I have been depressed to the point where I have considered cutting myself. I also struggle with anxiety and avoid social situations in order not to experience it. Mom only knows about my anxiety, but I have been sugarcoating it when I talk to her because I don’t want her to worry. Abby, we don’t have insurance and are already very poor, so I don’t want to burden my family with my problems, which I know would cost a lot of money to treat. What do you suggest I do? -- NEEDS HELP IN MISSOURI DEAR NEEDS HELP: Because you are afraid to worry your mother, discuss what’s going on with a counselor at your school. Please don’t wait to do it. That person may have the ability to see you get the professional help you need. It may not be too much for your mother to afford and may even be free.

DEAR ABBY Advice

DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-yearold college student who has never been in a relationship. I try to be as much of an extrovert as possible, but it’s hard for me. I have romantic feelings for a guy I have known for two years. When we see each other in class, we hug and talk a little. I’m having trouble telling him how I feel because, as I’ve learned from past experience, he may not feel the same. I don’t want to be a big baby about this, but I have a fear of rejection. I have experienced it numerous times. I know it’s a part of life, but I don’t know if I can take it again. Please tell me what to do about this guy.

I can’t stop thinking about him. -- HOPELESS ROMANTIC DEAR HOPELESS ROMANTIC: Before declaring your feelings, get to know a little more about your classmate, like whether he’s romantically involved with someone else. A way to do that would be to suggest having coffee after class or helping each other study for an exam. Neither of those approaches would be “risky.” If he agrees, you will have a better chance of gauging whether he’s attracted to you, too. Because he hugs you when he sees you, it’s safe to assume he is not repelled. Let me let you in on a little secret: I don’t know ANYone who, having experienced rejection, has found it pleasurable. Some of the most successful people I know have encountered rejection more than once, but they didn’t let it stop them. Because your fear is preventing you from reaching out, talk about it with a psychologist at the student health center. If you

do, it may help you feel more confident in putting yourself out there. DEAR ABBY: We give each of our grandchildren a check for every birthday. We would like to stop when each child reaches the age of 18. Please give us an idea of what to write in a letter to each child as we send the final check on his/her 18th birthday. -- LONGTIME READER IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR READER: I see no reason to make an announcement with the “last check.” When the 19th birthday rolls around, send a card marking the special day -- and explaining then the reason why there is no check included. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

it to them. Instead they come and steal computers, money and do all sorts of damage. It’s really hard to understand.” If caught, the thieves who hit Wayside and Duncan will likely do time, perhaps more than usual for such a crime since their victims were churches. But those who attend the two churches, with attitudes like Dismuke says, can rest peacefully – despite their worldly losses – in what Jesus said in Matthew. “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me. I was ill and you comforted me, in prison and you came to visit me. I assure you, as often as you did it for the least among you, you did it for me.”

in for a colder than average December-January-February here in Alabama. But now, it’s wonderfully mild outside. Thursday night, Mary Lyman and I were driving down Elkahatchee Road after dark and we pulled into our farm at Russell Pond to look at the moon. Really. We were watching the moonrise as we drove and decided to pull in and see how it looked over the lake. It was so nice outside that after a few minutes of star-gazing we climbed into our canoe and paddled across the blackand-silver lake under a harvest moon in the sky, and over it’s reflected twin on the water’s surface. And it was completely comfortable except for the moment when a beaver slapped his tail near us and Mary Lyman almost jumped out of the canoe. The beaver kept on, but after the first tail-slap, his protests became more fun than alarming. Temperature-wise, it was a wonderful evening for a canoe ride.

Which brings me to The Weather Channel’s predictions of a colder-than-normal winter here based on El Nino activity in the western U.S. It’s web site has an October Temperature forecast chart that says Alabama will have above average temperatures. Since it’s now the last day of October and it’s still in the mid70s, I think they got that month right. November looks exactly the same in Alabama, but the cold weather in the central U.S. is shifting more toward us. But by December Alabama moves from orange temperatures to icy blue, along with this not-socomfortable explanation: “The cooler southern tier may be partially a reflection of generally wetter-than-average conditions in a strong El Nino. In other words, more clouds and rain leads to cooler temperatures as the southern or subtropical branch of the jet stream is typically stronger.” So this afternoon, when you and your kin are sweating under a full length Saran Wrap Ninja Turtle outfit, trying to get a cool wisp of air through those little nostril holes in the hard plastic Leonardo mask, be thankful for mild fall weather this year. Or you may want to opt for cooler face paint this year. Boone is publisher of The Outlook.

Mission

Halloween is what you make it – make it fun

hen Halloween comes, my mind always drifts back to one memorable Oct. 31 with my daughter Jessica. In this business, to move up the food chain, sometimes you have to make a move to test your wings. In 2000, I got an opportunity to move to Kenosha, Wisconsin to be the city editor at the Kenosha News and commuting from Fayetteville, Georgia wasn’t an option. So when opportunity knocks, you have to move quickly, and my family and I did just that. The one problem was the timing of the move. Arrangements were made, the packing began, a place to live was found, and when all was said and done, the U-Haul truck was full at about 3 p.m. on Oct. 30. We planned to get an early start the following morning, working our way through Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois before arriving at our new home. As we spent the last night in the house on Tyrone Road that we had called home for almost five years and plotted our course, I noticed my daughter Jessica becoming visibly upset. “Do you even care what tomorrow is?” she asked. “In case you forgot, it’s Halloween. What am I supposed to do about trick-ortreating? You don’t even care about me at all. You move me across the country, I have to change schools, leave my friends, people are going to make fun of the way I talk, and now you are going to make me miss Halloween. Thanks a lot, Dad.” I scratched my head and devised a plan. I told her that we would stop about dark wherever we were along the way and let her trickor-treat before we stopped for

the night. I told her it would be fun being in a strange place, just seeing what the town had to offer. It seemed to work, and we took off as scheduled the next day. We ran into slow traffic a few places and crossing Monteagle between Chattanooga and Nashville was a real bear. We realized that darkness was approaching and we were in the middle of nowhere. We stopped for gas and grabbed the road atlas and found that Murfreesboro, Tennessee was about 12 miles away, and we would stop there to let Jessica do her thing. We pulled off I-65 and found a place to park the truck. We loaded in the family SUV, which was also packed to the gills, and headed for the first neighborhood we could find. Less than two blocks away we found a little street with crackerbox houses and let Jessica out to go door-to-door. We parked at the end of the street near an apartment complex and waited on her to make her way down the street. As I sat and thought about how crazy I was for doing this, a spotlight hit the back window and a police car pulled beside our vehicle. “May I ask what you are doing?” an officer asked. Blue light anxiety had hit, and the lump in my throat was as big as a wad of Red Man that had been swallowed by accident as I struggled to explain. “You aren’t from around here are you?” the officer asked. “Do you have any idea of where you are? These are

the projects and we are constantly called out here on drug calls. Unless you are trick-ortreating for nose candy, you may want to try somewhere else.” I asked him if he could make any suggestions. He asked us to follow him. We drove into the city of Murfreesboro. He pointed us to some of the largest antebellum homes and a tree-lined street that featured decorated homes – a scene straight from a Thomas Kinkade painting. We sent Jessica on her way and we thanked the man we found out was Officer Tommy Roberts of the Murfreesboro Police Department. He told us to have a great trip and drove off to make Murfreesboro a safer place. Officer Roberts is now a detective in charge of the Murfreesboro Special Victims Unit. Jessica, in a ghoulish costume, made out like a bandit, with a pillowcase full of candy. We drove on to Bowling Green, Kentucky, where we stopped for the night. As we wound down, we all laughed about the experience and talked about how no one would believe we went to all that trouble for candy. But it was incredible to see her smile and it was an experience we will never forget. Jessica is 28 now, but I will never forget that look on her face and her love for Halloween has stuck with her all these years. Today, she owns a home here in Alexander City and her lawn features a cemetery, a headless body, spider webs, a body bag and a creepy bigeyed doll that would make Chucky run and hide. Fun is fun, no matter where you are. Sneed is editor of The Outlook.

Concert The Capitol Sounds Concert Band is an allvolunteer, non-profit organization supported by the City of Montgomery Parks and Recreation Department. The current band was organized in 1972 as a recreational activity of the old Cloverdale Community Center by a small nucleus of former high school and college band members. It was known as the Montgomery Community Band. In July of 2000, the members voted to change the name to the Capitol Sounds Concert Band. The band performs a wide variety of music including marches, classical, patriotic, show tunes, jazz and swing. In addition, the band performs music written especially for concert band.

conĂ&#x201E;dent. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play into someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s control games. Respond without getting involved in a power play. Your intuition will guide you with others. You might be happiest staying close to home. Tonight: Be with a favorite person. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You have a lot to share, so touch base with loved ones. Communicate what is on your mind, but know that others might be opinionated. Friends are likely to send you invitations to parties. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get into the holiday spirit when you get dressed. Tonight: Catch up on news. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH A change of plans could be costly. You might feel more in tune with an authority Ă&#x201E;gure and his or her priorities. However, you also get where a friend is coming from. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll feel the need to touch base with different people in your life and please them. Tonight: All smiles. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Your versatility comes across right now, as you have the ability to change moods quickly. You might decide to change costumes or help a child handle a last-minute Halloween problem. Use your imagination with a loved one. Tonight: Tricking or treating? LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You might decide to retreat into your cave. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea, but today is the wrong day! A loved one is likely to knock on your door with an idea that energizes you. The phone will ring, and a dear friend will invite you over! Tonight: Keep the choices you make close to home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH You could be in the center of all the holiday commotion. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll barely have a moment to yourself. Maintain a sense of humor with a partner who seems passionate about Halloween plans. Communication intensiĂ&#x201E;es as the day goes on. Tonight: Wherever you are, you are smiling.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHH Your intentions reveal caring, but demands from a commitment could cause you to head in a diÉ&#x2C6;erent direction. Communication scores as high as actions do right now. Respond to a bossâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or other authority Ă&#x201E;gureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, even if you feel it is out of place. Tonight: Out and about. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Look beyond the obvious when dealing with a loved one at a distance. What this person shares might be a ploy to hide what is really bothering him or her. Be understanding and sensitive. Tonight: Put yourself 100 percent into your Halloween persona. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH A loved one delights you with his or her ideas. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have little to say or do but nod. Whether you are the host of a party or oÉ&#x2C6; crashing Halloween parties, fun will be had by all. A family member could get confused with all the goings-on. Tonight: Go for matching costumes. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might think you know what your plans are until a key person enters the mix and announces a whole new agenda. Be willing to break new ground. Catch up on news with a pal, whether by phone or in person. Tonight: Get into the festive nature of the night. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Perhaps you did all your haunting prior to today, so you might feel like staying close to home and making it an early night. Be ready for events to contradict this plan. Do what you want, but you still might have to jump through some hoops. Tonight: Get into the moment. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your sense of humor kicks in and adds to the fun nature of the moment. Listen to a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request, and if possible, follow through. A last-minute Halloween shindig could be perfect, and you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to stress out. Tonight: Let everyone reveal his or her true self!

want to teach them about water quality and how the little critters can tell you about what is going on with the water.” “They are learning the different ways to test the water to see how clean it is,” Gifted teacher Laurie Barrett said. Barrett has brought Radney students to the park in the past but this year is a little different. “This is the first time we have put all three testing methods together,” Barrett said. “But it has been a great way to kick off the first trip of the year.” The students seem to enjoy the outdoor classroom. “For the kids that like to get in the water and get a little muddy, the biology tests are for them,” Barrett said. “The students who are more into science will like the chemistry and chemical testing. For many students, it will be the first time handling the chemicals for the test.” The next trip the students will get a little more in

depth. “Two weeks from now we are going to go to Sucker Creek,” Barrett said. “We are going to take more time and only do the biology assessment.” The field trips are preparing the students for their next project. “We have a $5,000 grant with the Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership,” Barrett said. “We are going to do some stream restoration work behind the UAB Cancer Center near the school. There is a stream there that the students have adopted. We are going to be planting different wetland grasses and plants to help the stream.” Barrett hopes the gifted program and its field trips lead to big things for the students. “Part of the goal of the gifted classes is to get them in the field,” Barrett said. “We want them learning about their environment, hopefully thinking about science careers.”

Grant Dadeville City Clerk Mike Gardner said the city’s $25,000 match for $250,000 is a good investment. “That is a lot of bang for the buck,” Gardner said. Goodwater will use the funds to demolish and clear eight commercial buildings in the downtown area, according to the award letter. Anyone who has driven through the downtown area in recent years is aware of the need for deteriorating structures to be addressed. Goodwater City Clerk Leslie Parker has been working with grant writers for four years. Over the summer they identified the structures that could be helped if the grant was received. When she learned that the state has approved the award, she was excited.

“Thank you Lord Jesus,” Parker said. “This is something that was needed so badly. It will do some tremendous things in our town.” Goodwater Mayor Lonnie Caldwell thanked everyone who worked on writing the proposal and all the government leaders who helped assure that Goodwater’s application was successful. He cited representatives Steve Hurst, Ron Johnson and Mark Tuggle for their help. “We are so grateful to have been awarded this grant,” said Caldwell. “We have been seeking funding for about four years and to get the news is incredible. We are thankful our representative, our city clerk, the grant writers, the state and everyone who played a role in this. We will definitely put it to good use.”

Edgewood running back Tyler Price (21) looks for running room during the first half of Friday’s game in Greenville.

Edgewood closes another perfect regular season By Jonathan Bryant The Greenville Advocate

Fort Dale Academy dominated time of possession but little else, as the Eagles’ running game failed to match the pace of a high-powered Edgewood Academy offense. With the arm and legs of Wildcats quarterback Nathan Rourke, the visiting Edgewood team (10-0) had little trouble finding the end zone, ultimately heading home with a 58-14 win. Rourke closed the night completing 14-of-18 passes for 280 yards and three touchdowns. He also tacked on 51 rushing yards with another score. Jackson Tate continues to be Rourke’s go-to man. Tate caught six passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns. But it didn’t look so effortless on the Wildcats’ first defensive series, as running back Tyler Price was taken down in the backfield well short of a first down on Edgewood’s first third-down attempt. But a jumpy Eagles defensive line proved a little too fired up, renewing the Wildcats’ set of downs with an offsides penalty.

The second fourth down attempt of the drive proved equally successful as Rourke found receiver Maurice Young behind the FDA secondary and delivered a laser-like touchdown pass to take an early 7-0 lead. Fort Dale’s answer—a relentless run game with quarterback Luke Taylor and running backs Clay Mansmann and Andrew Salter at the helm—proved successful until a high-flying fumble landed perfectly in the hands of an Edgewood defender, giving the Wildcats a short field and an easy second score. Fort Dale continued to dominate the clock with a run game that consumed the entire first quarter, taking the ball to the one-yard line at the top of the second quarter. But a costly fumble on fourth and short left the Eagles with nothing to show for it. But the third time proved the charm as Salter found paydirt on a quick threeyard jaunt for the Eagles’ first touchdown of the night, and Jake Gillem tacked on a PAT to cut the lead to 15-7 with four minutes remaining in the half. But an undeterred Wildcats offense

made excellent use of the remaining clock, scoring twice in quick succession to take a 30-7 halftime lead. FDA head football coach James “Speed” Sampley said that two costly fumbles and a drive cut short just outside of the end zone proved fatal.

“They are very good, and you can’t give them anything,” Sampley said. This marks the fifth year in a row the Wildcats have closed the regular season with a perfect record. Edgewood is scheduled to host Wilcox Academy in the first round of the Class AA playoffs.

Dadeville’s Margarius Buchanan (4) breaks away from Eufaula’s Gregory Ledbetter Jr. during Thursday’s game.

By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

DADEVILLE – After trailing by two scores late, the Dadeville Tigers made a comeback attempt that fell just short in Thursday’s 28-26 loss to the Eufaula Tigers. In spite of the loss, Dadeville Coach Richard White said he was proud to see his team not give up after trailing late. “I thought we played well at times and we played bad at times, and we ended up getting beat by two points,” White said. “But I’m proud to see our kids keep fighting. We got down by two touchdowns early, then we got down by two touchdowns at the end of the game, but we came back. So, I’m proud they kept fighting. That’s a good sign. We made some strides even in this game.” Trailing 28-12 midway through the fourth quarter, Dadeville (5-5) made it a one-score game, as junior quarterback Margarius Buchanan kept it on the read option and scooted 67 yards for the touchdown with 6:01 remaining. Buchanan then found tight end Trevorous Johnson wide open in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion to make it a 28-20 game. The Dadeville defense stood tall on the ensuing possession, forcing a Eufaula (8-2) punt after a three-and-out with 4:10

left to give Dadeville the ball back at its own 35-yard line. One play after a near disaster on a fumble Dadeville was able to recover, Buchanan rolled toward the home sideline and hit receiver Ty Stone for a 35-yard reception that set Dadeville up on a first-and-goal at the Eufaula 9-yard line. Two plays later it was Buchanan to Johnson again, this time for a 6-yard touchdown that put Dadeville within two points with 1:13 remaining. But on the two-point try, Dadeville’s DJ Pearson bobbled the snap and threw an incomplete pass to Buchanan on the trick play that resulted in a failed attempt. Eufaula recovered the onside kick and kneeled the game away. Eufaula struck first in Thursday’s game, driving 77-yards on their second possession with a 10-yard scoring run by quarterback Justin Warren and the extra point by Graham Haney making it a 7-0 game in the first. Dadeville responded by opening the second quarter with a 66-yard touchdown pass from Buchanan to Pearson on a wheel route to make it 7-6 after the failed conversion attempt. Eufaula scored on a 1-yard run by Jerquaveus Johnson that made it 14-6 with 1:49 left in the first half, but an See TIGERS, Page 6

Rebels get help, clinch playoff berth

By Evan McCullers Opelika-Auburn News

As a dense fog descended on Loachapoka Stadium, the Reeltown starters, many with their shoulder pads already off, spent the fourth quarter laughing, dancing and cheering on the sideline. They had done all they could, and the Rebels were determined to enjoy what may or may not be the last quarter of their season. Reeltown (6-4, 3-3) entered the game stuck in a three-way tie with Lanett and LaFayette in the mess that is the Class 2A-Region 5 playoff situation. Coach Jackie O’Neal’s squad needed a win to stay in the picture, and it earned just that. The Rebels used a balanced offensive attack and a stifling defense to dominate Loachapoka, 41-7, on Thursday night. Though they didn’t realize it at the time, Reeltown, because of a Wadley win lifting LaFayette to the third seed, is now in the playoffs as the fourth seed in Region 5. “Frustrating, that’s the only thing you can say about it,” O’Neal said. “Any time you’re in a waiting game like that where somebody else controls your destiny, it’s always frustrating. You want to be able to control your own destiny, but we messed up ourselves earlier in the year by not playing good football.” Early in the contest, Reeltown seemed destined for a much closer call. After one interception each by Reeltown quarterback Takoreyon Edwards and Loachapoka quarterback Stephen Harris highlighted a first quarter of offensive stalemate, Loachapoka running back Shermond Callaway broke free for 83 yards on the second

play of the second quarter to give the Indians (4-6, 3-2 Class 1A-Region 3) the lead. After Callaway’s score, the Reeltown defense locked down, holding Loachapoka to only 112 yards of offense after the run. “They played exceptionally well,” O’Neal said. “We’re starting to look a little bit better (on defense). … This is the time of the year when you want to play your best ball.” The offense did its part also. Reeltown’s Markez McCullough, who recently moved from wide receiver to running back due to a rash of injuries, tied the game on the first snap of the ensuing drive with a 64-yard scamper, and after the Rebels’ defense forced a three-and-out, McCullough scored from 50 yards out to take the lead. Reeltown’s rushing attack gave the Rebels a 15-point halftime lead, but it was the passing offense that ran away with the game. Edwards threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Jamon Matthews on Reeltown’s opening possession of the second half, and he connected with William Bell for 47 yards on the next possession to widen the margin. Loachapoka will attempt to rebound next week when the Indians host a firstround playoff game. After shaking hands at midfield, Edwards, who suffered a minor shoulder injury, strolled off the field for perhaps the last time in his high school career. Not knowing he was in the playoffs at the time, Edwards said he’s ready for the playoffs. “I don’t like it, but there’s nobody to blame but us,” Edwards said. “We want to play bad. We want to make it to the playoffs bad.”

Indians drop double-overtime thriller to R.E. Lee By Tim Gayle for The Wetumpka Herald

Neither coach felt like his team played well, but Friday’s game between Robert E. Lee and Wetumpka was certainly a treat for the fans at Hohenberg Field. In the end, it was a disappointing loss for the Indians, but Lee’s 42-35 win in two overtimes provided plenty of offensive highlights on both sides. Defense was at a premium as the Generals took every blow delivered by the punishing rushing attack of Wetumpka and answered with a passing attack led by Shaq Johnson, who threw four touchdowns, and receiver Henry Ruggs, who proved worthy of Wetumpka’s efforts to keep the ball out of his hands. “I’m just very proud of our guys, our team and our coaching staff,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “We knew, after watching them on film, that Lee was one of the best teams on our schedule. We battled and gave ourselves a chance. That’s all you can ever ask. Keep battling and they did, right until the very end. The play at the end was just a young man trying to make a play to help his team win.”

Lee, who had scored first in the second overtime, found the defensive play when it needed it. As Deandre Williams leaped into the line from a yard out, Lee sophomore lineman Cameron Hill jarred the ball loose and into the hands of teammate Daniel Thomas, ending the game. “Every year we play Wetumpka it’s a scrappy game and coming in here on Senior Night, we knew we were in for a tough game,” Lee coach Tyrone Rogers said. “We didn’t play the way we wanted to play but at the end we found a way to win.” It didn’t look that way early. Wetumpka converted a fourth down with a 30-yard run out of punt formation by Kavosiey Smoke to set up Keldon Washington’s 10-yard pass to Keedrick Adams three plays later for the first points of the night. Lee would answer with a 15-yard touchdown run on a quarterback run by Johnson, but the Generals couldn’t seem to match the offensive firepower of the Indians, who got 124 yards on 20 carries by Smoke, 132 yards on 20 carries by Washington and 52 yards on 10 carries by Williams. But when Ruggs got untracked in the

second quarter, the game evened out. He had only been targeted once by Johnson, pulling in an 18-yard pass late in the first quarter as Wetumpka drifted a safety over to help the cornerback keep the Generals’ big-play junior in check. “We were trying to bracket him as much as we could and play people over the top of him and not get ourselves in too many one-on-ones,” Perry said. “And we didn’t want to kick it to him. We knew he was a tremendous player.” Ruggs’ second catch was a bubble screen that turned into a 64-yard sprint to the end zone, tying the game. “It’s real frustrating, knowing they’re trying to keep it away from you,” Ruggs said, “but you’ve just got to be patient and be ready and when my time’s called, I’ve got to make the play.” The two teams would trade touchdowns over the next two quarters before Ruggs caught another bubble screen, broke a tackle and weaved through the Wetumpka defense for 21 yards and a touchdown to tie the game at 28-28. “I got them in the groove,” Johnson said. “I just kept telling them we’ve got to fight, we’ve got to follow through. We weren’t playing Lee football for a half, but we just had to finish strong.”

The defenses tightened some in the fourth quarter, leaving two exhausted teams for overtime. Smoke lined up in Wildcat formation and scored in two plays, only to be countered by Johnson running 10 yards for a game-tying touchdown on the Generals’ first play of overtime to force a second period. Lee got the ball first in the second overtime and Johnson hit Marquis Johnson for a 10-yard pass on third down, setting the stage for Wetumpka’s final drive that came up a yard short. Johnson finished with 36 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries, while completing 21 of 29 passes for 305 yards and four touchdowns with one interception. Ruggs finished with 178 yards on eight receptions and Johnson had 82 yards on seven receptions. “It’s always good to get a win at the end, going into the playoffs,” Rogers said. “We just have to take one game at a time, have to get better. We’re going to play a good Murphy team that’s well coached.” Lee (7-3) will travel to Mobile next week to play Murphy in the first round of the Class 7A playoffs, while Wetumpka (4-6) will travel to McAdory for the first round of the Class 6A playoffs.

Dogs come 5 yards away from possibly ending losing skid By Jim Plott for The Wetumpka Herald

Five yards from pay dirt and its first win of the season, and it didn’t happen. Holtville drove 65 yards in nine plays late in the fourth quarter only to have victory snatched from it in the form of a fumble. The fumble came with less than two minutes left in game and from there Prattville Christian Academy was able to seal a 24-20 win over the Bulldogs. The loss brings to a close two consecutive seasons in which Holtville couldn’t muster a win. “It’s a continuing theme – self-inflicted wounds,” said Holtville coach Hunter Adams. “Again, we did things to beat ourselves and that (fault) starts at the top with me and goes on down.” The win closes out a 3-7 season for the Panthers and is also the last game for PCA coach Chris Jones, who is leaving the coaching profession to become a fulltime minister. “This is the last high school game I will coach,” Jones told his players following the victory. “It will always be special. This night will always be special.” The Holtville offense basically

belonged to quarterback Nathan Burbage who rushed 36 times for 206 yards. The Panthers capitalized from the beginning on Holtville mistakes. On the first play, Holtville tossed and interception and 10 plays later quarterback Tyler Jorgensen scored on a 4-yard run. Holtville battled back with a 10-play drive of its own capped when Burbage tossed a 12-yard pass to Benjamin Buck who caught the ball just on the goal line. That tied the score at 7 -7 with 3:39 left in the first half. After the Bulldogs missed a 32-yard field goal, PCA took the lead again when Tyler Bell connected with Alexander LaFrance on a 31-yard pass. With less than a minute before halftime, Holtville methodically fought back after taking the kickoff to the Panther 46-yard line. Andrew Nobles connected with Zach Weldon for an 18-yard completion and Nobles followed up with a 10-yard run to spot Holtville at the 2-yard line. From there Burbage plowed through a line for the score with no time left on the clock. A 25-yard field goal by the Panthers’ John Holt put PCA up 17-14 at the start of the fourth quarter, but the Bulldogs

took the lead for the first time four plays later when Deontrey Jackson rambled 58 yards with 9:26 left in the game. A bad snap prevented the extra point. PCA put together its strongest drive of the night following the score and in eight plays had marched 72 yards to the Holtville 1-yard line. Holtville stiffened for a play, pushing PCA back to the

three. But a play later Tyler Jorgensen busted up the middle for the score. Holtville followed with it most impressive drive of the night with 6:25 left in the game. Burbage churned out his longest runs of the night, including one for 27 yards, to set up the Holtville win. But in one play it fell apart when he tried to take the ball up the middle.

Central-Coosa 46, Horseshoe Bend 41

Cougars win shootout with Generals in wild season finale By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

HANOVER – If at some point there was a 4th-and-57, that’s a pretty good indicator that a wild football game unfolded. And ‘wild’ is probably the most appropriate way to describe Central-Coosa’s 46-41 win over the Horseshoe Bend Generals on Friday night. A 10-yard touchdown run on a jet sweep by Cedarius Askew on a fourth-and-4 with two minutes left in the game gave the Cougars (5-5) the lead for good, but it was a goal-line stand at the Coosa 3-yard line that secured the victory. Coosa Coach Barry Simmons said the 19 total penalties on the night nearly doomed the Cougars, but he was proud to see his team never stop fighting to capture victory. “Penalties tonight killed us, and I said we had to eliminate that going in. The team in white played hard tonight. I said it and I knew it – for an 0-9 team, they are a good football team,” Simmons said. “They laid it all on the line tonight. I’m proud of them, and I’m proud of our guys as well for overcoming obstacles and adversity to keep playing and believing in what we’re doing. There were a few times we could have packed it in tonight, but we didn’t and we kept fighting. I’m very proud of them for that.” Horseshoe Bend (0-10) trailed 30-28 with 9:18 left to play after a 24-yard touchdown run and 2-point conversion by Coosa senior running back Rod Whetstone. But Generals’ running back Drew Hill countered with a 26-yard run that then set up a 37-yard touchdown run from Hill

to give Horseshoe Bend a 34-30 lead after the failed conversion with 8:17 left. But Whetstone responded on the ensuing possession for the Cougars, ripping off a 39-yard run that set up his 16-yard scoring run and another 2-point conversion to give Coosa a 38-34 lead with 7:38 left. Thanks to three 15-yard penalties against the Cougars on the very next drive, Hill capped off the Generals’ drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. Horseshoe Bend’s Caleb Bailey added the extra point kick to put the Generals back on top at 41-38 midway through the final quarter. Coosa got the ball back at its own 35-yard line, and proceeded to alternate runs between Whetstone and quarterback Raymond Graham on a wildcat formation with a jet sweep fake to Askew mixed in. For 11-straight plays, the Cougars pounded the right side of the Horseshoe Bend defense with the same formation and fake to Askew mixed in, only changing who carried the ball, and getting three first downs in the process. The Generals finally held the Cougars and forced the fourthand-4 at the Horseshoe Bend 10-yard line. But it was that 12th play that the Cougars finally handed to Askew on the jet sweep to the left side for the scoring run, as Whetstone added the 2-point conversion to make it 46-41 with 2:02 left. The Generals got the ball back at their own 38-yard line and drove it down to the Coosa 3-yard line, but Hill was tackled for a 5-yard loss on first-and-goal with under 20 seconds left and the clock running.

They battled their butts off all year,” Franklin said. “The record doesn’t indicate what kind of group of kids we’ve got out here. I couldn’t be prouder of them. They could have laid down a long time ago, but they didn’t. They kept coming back and battling, laying it out on the line for this community and this school.
