Council OKs funding for pay study By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Deciding to strike while the iron was hot, the Alexander City City Council voted unanimously Monday night to allow the mayor to execute an agreement that will fund a study into the city’s pay structure for employees. The council heard a presenta-

tion from officials with the Center for Governmental Services at Auburn University on the merits of a study last week and all seemed excited about the potential. Human Resources Program Manager Maria Tamblyn told the council during the presentation that the study, if followed, will establish equities, assure equal pay for equal work and help the

city with recruitment and retention. Also at Monday’s meeting the council announced that it was not quite prepared to approve a new budget. State law requires a new budget be in place by Oct. 1, so the council voted 6-0 to continue under the terms of the existing budget until a new budget is approved. Most on the council believe that a new budget could be ready by the coun-

cil’s next meeting, which was moved Monday from Oct. 19 to Oct. 26. “We won’t be working in the budget this week because a number of the members of the council will be out of pocket for one reason or another,” Council member Jim Spann said. “But we will get back at it next week, with some work sessions. Provided all that goes well, we See COUNCIL, Page 5

Age a big factor in armory closure

Attendance up slightly in county schools Horseshoe Bend, Reeltown see dramatic jump in students By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

By Mitch Sneed

Tallapoosa County Schools enrollment for the 2015-16 school year increased by a total of 47 students from last year’s 2,863 to 2,910, according to final average daily measurement (ADM) reports provided to the Outlook on Monday. Average daily measurement is calculated annually by averaging the total attendance for each of the 20 school days immediately following Labor Day. Per-student allocations from the state’s Education Trust Fund are based on the ADM total from the last completed school year prior to the legislative session. “Oh, gosh, yes, we’re excited about it,” said Tallapoosa County Schools Superintendent Joe Windle. “What’s particularly exciting is that our two outlying schools (Horseshoe Bend School and Reeltown School) have given us the most growth.” Horseshoe Bend School saw the greatest growth over last year among the five schools in the Tallapoosa County system, with its ADM increasing from 777 students to 825. Reeltown School was next with an increase from 792 students to 824. Dadeville Elementary School’s enrollment grew from 576 to 584. The other two schools in the County system – Councill Middle and Dadeville High – both saw drops in enrollment.

Alabama National Guard officials say that Alexander City’s Mac W. Speaks Armory being among the oldest in Alabama was one of the primary reasons the facility was targeted for closure. Alabama National Guard Public Information Officer Lt. Col. Shannon Hancock said this weekend that the facility ranked low on a scale that included cost to operate and maintain the armory, condition of the armory and the armory’s ability to meet mission support. She said that the 61-year-old facility is in need of a lot of upgrades. “The Alexander City armory was built in 1954 and is in the range of our oldest armories, needing a large amount of upgrades and modernization,” Hancock said. No exact timeline for closure has been determined, but Hancock said that the possibility of being used in the public sector is still possible. She said that there is a protocol for disposition of Alabama National Guard assets. See ARMORY, Page 5

Flowers to sign copies of new book Friday at local library Staff Report Outlook Staff

Submitted / The Outlook

The cover of Steve Flowers’ book ‘Of Goats and Governors’ shows the color of Alabama’s political history.

Few states have as fascinating a political history as Alabama, especially in the postWorld War II era. Moving onto and off the state’s electoral stage during this time period of remarkable transformation have been some of the most interesting figures in 20th-century American government and politics. Now, the backstage intrigue of Alabama politics receives a lively treatment in “Of Goats and Governors,” the high-spirited new memoir by former Alabama Representative Steve Flowers. Steve Flowers is Alabama’s most watched and read politi-

cal columnist and commentator and he will come to Alexander City next Friday to sign copies of his book. The book signing is Flowers set for Friday, Oct. 8, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at the Adelia M. Russell Library. “I’m really looking forward to being in Alexander City and visiting with all the people there,” Flowers said. “People there are passionate about their politics and I hope they will come by and see me at the library on Friday.” In addition to weekly columns, he serves as the politi-

cal analyst for the University of Alabama radio and television network. His weekly radio commentary for the University is listened to statewide on Alabama Public Radio. He is also the political analyst for WAKA/the Alabama news network in Montgomery. Steve has been an up close observer and participant in Alabama politics for more than 50 years. He is considered the utmost authority on Alabama politics. Steve served in the Alabama House of Representatives from 1982-1998. During his 16-year tenure he recorded a perfect attendance record. His House colleagues honored him as Outstanding Freshman member See FLOWERS, Page 5

DEAR ABBY: I have a friend whose 11-year-old grandson stays overnight with her sometimes on the weekends. She has only one bedroom, and I’m concerned because he still sleeps with her in the same bed. I have mentioned it to her many times, and she says there is nothing wrong with it. I even purchased a nice air mattress, very easy to inflate, which she accepted but doesn’t use. I’m upset by this situation. I know she sometimes sleeps in revealing night clothes, although I don’t know if she does when her grandson is there. I find this sick and twisted. I am counting on you to set my friend straight and save this young boy from future turmoil. -PROTECTIVE IN WASHINGTON DEAR PROTECTIVE: There is an old French saying that approximately translates, “Evil be he who thinks evil of it.” I see

Advice

nothing sick or twisted about a boy who occasionally stays with his grandma and shares her bed, particularly if that’s the way it has always been. When he grows so big that the bed becomes too crowded for his comfort, I’m sure he’ll let Granny know. Ultimately, the boy’s parents are the ones responsible for his safety. It’s likely they know about and approve of the sleeping arrangements. DEAR ABBY: With online dating becoming popular with older people, I have a question. Most of us who were marBible Reader.

fortable with a person and there is a mutual attraction. Both people’s sexual histories should be talked about before you “do the deed.” (If you can’t talk about it, then you shouldn’t do it.) When it does happen, insist that protection is used. Too often people assume that because there’s snow on the roof that there isn’t fire in the furnace. News flash: Older folks can and do have active sex lives. So if you’re going to “play,” be prudent. Some seniors have been shocked to learn they were infected with an STD because they assumed their partner was safe.

DEAR ABBY

ried for a number of years and had a good mate learned a lot about how to make life exciting and are experienced about sex. When we meet someone online and start to become involved, how and when would it be the right time to bring up the subject of sex? For those of us in our later years, sex is usually different than when we were 35. Then there’s the subject of STDs. Can we bring that up? In rural and small towns, older women, unlike younger women, are shy about talking about sex. When we start to get serious with someone, shouldn’t we find out what they are willing to do and what they won’t? -- LOOKING AHEAD IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR LOOKING AHEAD: Your letter will be of interest to anyone who has been out of the dating scene for a long time.

Opinion

It’s time again to celebrate Lake Martin

Fall is time to enjoy F all area has to offer

all has fallen. And with it comes a taste of cool air and a host of opportunities to get out and enjoy the Deep South’s most comfortable time of year with the entire family. Football season may be half over, but the opportunities to enjoy a taste of Tallapoosa County’s wonderful autumn outside go well beyond football. There are fall festivals, Halloween-related events and other activities that prove the Lake Martin area can be fun in the fall as well as the summer. It all starts on Saturday with two big events. The Annual Octoberfest at the Charles Bailey Sportplex. It’s always one of the best events of the year. On the same day Horseshoe Bend School’s annual Fall Festival will be held in New Site. The festival will feature a variety of food vendors, entertaining games and prizes from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Horseshoe Bend School On Oct. 17, Alexander City’s own Chair-ish event concludes with a full day of activities. The fun gets under way early at the downtown Farmer’s Market, where, in addition to shopping for fresh produce and other natural offerings, folks can grab their last opportunity to view the hand-decorated chairs to be raffled that afternoon and, if they want, buy a ticket for the raffle to win any chair they like. Then at 11 a.m. the activities move to Strand Park for the Fall Festival featuring horse and buggy rides, pumpkin bowling (BYOP – Bring your own pumpkin!), spoon races, Halloween ducky pick-up and more! It’s all capped off with the Chair-ish Alexander City raffle of a variety of uniquely hand-decorated chairs. Later in the month, there’s a Fall Festival at Wayside Baptist Church on Oct. 18 with games and prizes for children from 5 to 6 p.m, while Oct. 19 through Nov. 2 a host of decorated pumpkins will on display at Amelia Russell Library We urge our readers to take advantage of this cool and colorful time of the year here in Tallapoosa County and get out and enjoy these and other family-friendly outdoor activities.

Tuesday, October 6, 2015

all is here, the lake level is dropping and every weekend is full of opportunities to catch an exciting football game on television with friends and neighbors. This is a great time to get together and celebrate; whether it is a big win, a fall festival event or just being outside enjoying the change of seasons. This is also a great time to celebrate and enjoy all the wonderful opportunities available in the Lake Martin community. Hiking and biking trails, Smith Mountain Tower, horseback riding trails and the recently dedicated Harold Banks Canoe trail are just a few of these which coupled with all of the fall festivals is enough to keep even the most active family busy. The now past summer has been extremely busy with boaters filling the lake every weekend. Wind Creek Park is enjoying one of its busiest years ever and we all know what is left behind when the guests are gone. Now it is time to clean up behind them. Now is the time to celebrate our Lake Martin Community and remove the trash that was left behind by careless individuals. Friday Nov. 6 and Saturday Nov. 7 offer every resident in the community a chance to do just that. The annual LMRA “Renew our Rivers” Lake Martin Community Cleanup will have dumpsters positioned at Kowaliga Bridge boat ramp, Wind Creek Park Marina, Coley Creek boat ramp and New Site. Organizers will be

recruiting volunteers in several neighborhoods including Smith Mountain, Real Island, Trillium, and others. Supplies will be made available and participants who deliver bagged trash or items that have been retrieved from the shoreline of Lake Martin, adjacent roadsides or neighborhoods in the Lake Martin Community to the dumpsters will receive a custom designed tee shirt featuring art work from the “Renew our Rivers” art contest held annually at Stephens School. Here is the way it will work: • Volunteers can pick up supplies and drop trash at dumpster locations from 8 a.m. to noon on both Friday and Saturday • Friday Russell Lands Associates and other volunteers will meet at 7:45 a.m. at Russell Lands office to receive supplies and assignments • Friday at 8 a.m. volunteers will meet at Coley Creek boat launch and utilize boats provided by LMRA, Alabama Power Co. and Towboat Lake Martin to access littered shoreline • Volunteers will be urged to separate recyclables, which will be accumulated and delivered to the Alexander City Recycling Center • Saturday at 8 a.m. volun-

teers will meet at Horseshoe Bend Bridge on Highway 49 to paddle a portion of the Harold Banks Canoe Trail on the Tallapoosa River and remove trash from the shorelines. A second group will meet at New Site Town Hall at 7:30 a.m. to drive into selected areas. There will be designated drop points along the river with a take out at Jaybird Creek. County Commissioner John McKelvey will host a cookout in New Site afterward for all volunteers • Saturday Wind Creek Park personnel will shuttle volunteers to designated shoreline within park boundaries • On Saturday local Scout groups will clean designated areas and gather at Wind Creek Park afterward for a hot dog cookout courtesy of Marshall Griffin, Manager of Alabama Power Co. offices in Alexander City and Dadeville Volunteers will be available at the dumpster sites to assist in unloading boats or vehicles during the hours of the cleanup. Removing unsightly and sometimes hazardous trash is a great way to celebrate and appreciate our treasured Lake Martin Community. For more information about the “flotilla” or the Newsite cleanup contact County Extension Agent Shane Harris 256-825-1050 or County Commissioner John McKelvey at 251-234-2049 John Thompson is president of the Lake Martin Resource Association.

Letters to the Editor

Good citizens with guns are not the problem Dear Editor:

In Alabama we have businesses which have been encouraged by government to be “no gun facilities.” An example of this is our local hospital. The Democrats, liberals, and progressives, who have pushed for the “no gun zones” have used the court system to hammer the conservatives on 2nd Amendment issues. They want no guns anywhere except in the hands of the state. They also seem to want government to limit the ability of law enforcement to do its job, i.e. to prevent crime and arrest and arraign criminals. It is time for the conservatives turn the tables and use the courts to make government and private businesses accountable. If these facilities refuse to allow us to protect ourselves, then they must provide protection for us. If that protection fails, they must be held accountable. They must be subject to lawsuits for failing to provide proper protection. “What is fair for the goose is fair for the gander.” I wonder how many lawsuits it would take to make these businesses re-

evaluate their “no gun policy”. Just saying that a facility or an area is “no gun” does not mean that a lunatic or fanatic could not bring in a gun to do harm to the public. If there had been one person with a gun in the Junior College in Oregon, it is probable that the shooter would have been neutralized much quicker than what was reported. Think how many lives could have been saved by a competent citizen with a gun. Guns don’t kill by themselves. There must be a finger on the trigger for the bullet to fire and kill. Good citizens with guns are not the problem. Gun control legislation is not the answer to “gun violence.” Just think how many lives could have been saved at Fort Hood, Columbine, New Town, Virginia Tech and many other locations of “gun violence” by one good citizen trained in the use of guns who dared to carry a gun. Billy Sellers Alexander City

“At this time, the disposition of the building has not been determined,” Hancock said. “The armories can be sold to state or local agencies and if there are not any state or local agencies that want the armory, then it is governed by the Public Land Sales Act and put out for public auction or bid.” Some local residents had suggested that if the armory does in fact close, that it could be used as a community center or a meeting facility. The facility already is used as a polling place for elections. Hancock said that future use will be determined by who ends up owning the building. “It will depend on the final sale of the building and what type of agency or business it is turned into,” Hancock said. When the time comes, the 214 th Military Police Company will be reassigned to an armory that survived the cut. Hancock said that no final determination on the time of closure or where the unit will be moved has been made at this time.

in 1982, Most Ethical member in 1988, and Most Outstanding member in 1992. Some of Alabama’s political heavy hitters are praising the book. • “Steve Flowers’ ability to dive deep into Alabama’s colorful political history makes ‘Of Goats and Governor’ a must read,” said U.S. Senator Richard Shelby • “’Of Goats & Governors’ offers a peephole through which readers can look back at three exuberant generations of Alabama politics,” said Dr. Edwin Bridges, Director Emeritus, Alabama Department of Archives and History • There could be no better guide to this colorful history than Steve Flowers, according to former Alabama Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor Bill Baxley. “Steve Flowers has become our state’s leading political columnist and commentator,” Baxley said. “Of Goats and Governors is delightful.”

Dadeville High’s enrollment fell from 441 to 408. Councill Middle School’s enrollment dropped from 277 to 255. Both Councill and Dadeville High saw their enrollments drop for the second consecutive year. Windle said he could cite no specific reason for either the growth of some enrollments or drops in others. “All I know to say is that our population, I think, is becoming more transient,” Windle said. “I think we’re in a time when people are more likely to move for a job or more likely to move to live with a family member for whatever the reason may be. I just don’t necessarily any one thing you can point as the reason for some of these changes.”

could have a budget in place by Nov. 1. “The budget is a pressing item. With that said, we need to get with it. The big thing to understand, especially concerning the capital budget, is that we have to be realistic. We are facing some challenges.” The council also unanimously approved: • A resolution for reallocation funds for Washington Street Project. Due to some issues with rock, rather than boring under the road, the $35,000 for a project to help drainage on Washington Street near Brown Nursing Home will now be used for a culvert. • A resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a disposal service agreement with Advance Disposal to use Stone’s Throw Landfill in Tallassee. • A resolution that will allow funds for hosting the Alabama Bass Federation Inc. Jr/High School

Fishing Tournament. The tournament is set for Nov. 7 and could bring as many as 125 boats and teams to the area. • A resolution that will allow funds for hosting the Alabama B. A.S.S. Nation Trail Regional Qualifier Fishing Tournament. The tournament is set for Dec. 5. • Application for 011 Lounge Retail Liquor- Class II (Package) Indo American Inc. doing business as Package Store 1 located at 1981 A Hwy 280. • An application for Non-profit Tax Exempt Alcohol License United Way Fashion Show. • A request from Ann Rye with the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce to call an executive session to address economic development. The public was not allowed to attend the executive session, but no vote or action was taken by the council.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Push away any hassles by maintaining a keen sense of humor and a unique perspective. Your creativity surges, to the extent that your mind keeps spinning oÉ&#x2C6; on the other partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words. Stay as pleasant as possible. Tonight: Spontaneity provides an interesting scenario. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHH You might need to get some feedback from a child or loved one about a personal decision. Remember to thank this person, but also let him or her know that you have not made a decision yet. One-on-one relating could seem like a hefty task today! Tonight: Home is your castle. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Your words tend to be quick and unexpected. Others often feel as though you just spew out the Ă&#x201E;rst thought that comes to mind. Your thought process could be faster than many peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t allow pressure to build to the extent that it has recently. Tonight: Speak your mind. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH You could discover that someone else sees a matter in a diÉ&#x2C6;erent light than you do. The issue, though it might not be apparent at Ă&#x201E;rst, is about money and/or social status. Try not to judge this person; instead, simply relax and listen to his or her thoughts. Tonight: Order in. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH Your personality sometimes works like a steamroller, which allows you to bypass a lot of problems. A loved one might be closed down. Give this person the space he or she needs, without making it a big deal. Remain connected to othersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feelings. Tonight: In the limelight. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Slow down. You might want to reconsider certain conversations. Everyone puts statements into a context that he or she knows -- you included. If you try to gain a new perspective, you could see a totally diÉ&#x2C6;erent meaning to someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s words. Tonight: Schedule more time for yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your sense of what could be occurring might be a lot diÉ&#x2C6;erent from reality. Try to erase certain expectations from your mind, and go with the moment -- you will be a lot happier if you do. Eliminate your Ă&#x201E;ltered vision as much as you can. Tonight: Where the crowds are. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Pressure comes from others expecting so much from you. You might want to clue them in to the fact that you are human and can do only so much. Resist taking on as much responsibility as you do. Infuse your life with some fun. Tonight: The party goes on and on. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might want to reconsider your plans. A last-minute invitation could be very exciting and diÉ&#x2C6;erent. Your love of adventure emerges, and demands to be taken into consideration. Opting for self-discipline can work only so long. Tonight: Try to be logical and steady. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Someone could make an enormous eÉ&#x2C6;ort to reach out to you. You appreciate this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gestures, and you will let him or her know. Weigh the pros and cons of becoming more involved with this person. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to have all the facts before proceeding. Tonight: Visit over dinner. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hold back any longer. You have a desire to go along with a group of friends. Let them know, and you will be a part of what is going in. A friend might be distant and jealous, and wishing that he or she had done the same. Tonight: Go along with someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plans. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be overanalyzing a situation and causing yourself a problem. Let go of this issue. Someone you look up to could be in a bad mood. You might not want to get into a tense discussion. A loved one might challenge a wonderful idea. Tonight: Pace yourself.

Turns out Alabama ain’t dead just yet

Tuesday, October 6, 2015

SPIKE IN SUCCESS Lady Wildcats closing in on volleyball area title By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

Apparently, reports of Alabama’s death were greatly exaggerated. Either that OR, as I hypothesized last week, maybe Georgia is a chance for Saban and Company to rise like a phoenix. Perhaps Georgia’s Sanford Stadium is the Tide’s “Lazarus Pit”; a mythical place where- the way Batman villains in the comics use it to heal – a beaten, downtrodden ‘Bama team can immerse itself in rejuvenating, magical water eventually emerging more powerful and with a youthful exuberance. After all, that stadium is kind of a pit…. And there was definitely a lot of water last Saturday. It was wetter than Aquaman’s bath mat out there (trust me; I sat in it)! Whatever the reason for ‘Bama’s beat down of the Dawgs, it is safe to say the Tide is squarely back in the title races- all of them. The dynasty isn’t dead at all. It just needed some physical therapy in Athens. But you all saw the bludgeoning that took place Saturday. No reason to rehash it (or to make fun of those who actually predicted UGA to win…. * cough*…. Me….*cough*). I would rather take time to establish why Georgia never seems to win these types of games. Ever. Georgia has a strong football history without a doubt. But why isn’t it stronger? That’s a question that has always plagued college football pundits. Given the resources of the two states, one would think Alabama and Georgia SHOULD have swapped histories. However, the Tide’s is much more storied and that is a bit of a puzzle. Then, early in this contest it hit me like Rueben Foster diagnosing a screen play: Georgia has lots of pomp and circumstance, but lacks substance in the big moments. The Dawgs’ players? They all look like All Americans running out of the tunnel. The coaching staff? Highly paid and very capable. The fans? Passionate, loyal and vocal. The game day environment? Fun, loud and lots of bright, shiny scoreboard tricks. Their team gets so fired up pregame, too! Jumping around, getting in the faces of the opposition, pointing, hollerin’, etc. Alllllll of the things a bully would do to a nerd to try and take milk money without actually throwing a punch. Here’s the catch: sometimes the nerd punches first then the bully gets frustrated. Georgia got in the ‘Bama players’ faces before kickoff. They tried intimidating the Tide. Maybe that works against Vandy or Louisiana-Monroe. No way it works on Á’Shawn Robinson. After UA threw that first punch (a 30-yard run by Derrick Henry in the second quarter), Georgia began to fold like an origami wallet. If not for a dropped pass by Ardarius Stewart, Alabama most likely would have once again put up 31 points against UGA in the first half (see: 2008). How can a team that barks so loudly lose its bite so quickly? Why does UGA always seem to fall flat in big moments like these when they have all of the ingredients to be a national title contender? Look no further than coach Mark Richt. Before I go on, I like Richt. He’s a pretty good coach and a great man. I would definitely like him to coach my son, no doubt. However, I would have to ask him this about the ‘Bama game? Why in the name Leonard Fournette was his star running back, Nick Chubb, still in the game very late in the third quarter of a blowout? Why, after a week that had media members debating if superstar underclassmen should sit out until they are draft eligible, would you risk an injury to your bell cow? Was it to get him that record of consecutive 100-yard games? Congratulations, Chubb set the record when ‘Bama busted a coverage. I am just amazed you would risk bodily harm to the one player you can least afford to lose for something so trivial. A loss to UA, no matter the point differential, is just ONE loss in the SEC standings. Losing Chubb would be a season’s death sentence. Most coaches would have weighed risk versus reward more carefully in that scenario. (For the record, I thought Derrick Henry played a little too long as well. After Chubb’s long run, though, Henry needed to be back just to make sure there was no chance of a Cam-back circa 2010.) And we wonder why Georgia doesn’t ever play for the national title; they are too focused on things that don’t matter. Meanwhile, the schools that win rings more regularly will focus regularly on getting more rings.

The Benjamin Russell Lady Wildcats are hitting the final stretch of the regular season, and are looking to capture an area championship along the way. The Lady Wildcats currently sit at 18-9 on the season with a 4-0 record in Class 6A-Area 4 entering this week’s final pair of area games, starting tonight at home against Opelika at 5:30 p.m. “We finish up our area play this week with Opelika on Tuesday and Russell County,” said BRHS volleyball Coach Pam Robinson. “I’m pleased with where we’re at right now. We’re 4-0 in the region and we’re 18-9 overall. We’re right there where we need to be.” This week caps off two weeks of successful showings for Benjamin Russell, which began with winning the ECHS Block Party Tournament. “Two weekends ago, we won the tournament that Elmore County hosted – it was their second year hosting it and our second year winning it,” Robinson said. “We played Auburn and Wetumpka during that tournament.” Last weekend, the Lady Wildcats took the trip up to Hewitt-Trussville for the Husky Challenge. Robinson said the tournament gave Benjamin Russell a good chance to measure their progress against some teams they fell to earlier in the season as well as some of the state’s best volleyball teams. “Then we played in a tournament at HewittTrussville this past weekend,” Robinson said. “I was excited about that tournament because we got to play some people who had beaten us earlier in the year to give us a little test to see if we’ve gotten better. We played Wenonah and Gardendale – who we played the first week of the season in the Briarwood tournament – and beat both of them. Then, we played Springville, who was ranked No. 5 in 5A, and played them really competitively but we lost and were No. 2 coming out of our pool. Then we lost to Oxford in singleelimination. “I was excited to see us compete well against some of the better teams in the state.” If Benjamin Russell finishes the area slate with a pair of wins, they would host their area tournament. And a top-two finish in the area would send them to the Super-Regionals in Montgomery. “If we go ahead and win both of the area games this week, then we would host the area and would be seeded No. 1 in the area again this year,” Robinson said. “Then, if we can be one of the top two teams in the area tournament, we would move on to SuperRegionals at the Cramton Bowl Multiplex in Montgomery.” Robinson said she has been pleased with the leadership and play of her three seniors: outside hitter Danasha Wyckoff, setter Tanasha Wyckoff and defensive specialist Maya Towns. Robinson has also been pleased with the progress on the outside and back row.

“I’ve got three seniors who have done a great job with leadership and coming out each and every day playing hard and working hard,” Robinson said. “They’ve done a good job in helping me train our backups and younger players. Our other outside, Trianna Lawson, spends most of the time at front row outside hitter. Then Tayla Stowes comes in a lot and plays back row defense for us. Hayley Marbury spends a little time at the outside also.” Robinson said the younger players have also been making progress and played well on the season. “We have our two middles in Ja’Tori Leonard and A’niah Ford, and I’ve been really pleased with how they’ve come along,” Robinson said. “Both of them

were JV players last year and I’m not sure they had any varsity time at all on the court last year. They’ve really progressed nicely for us. Opposite, on the other right side, we have a freshman in Asia McWaters who has really progressed well all year.” Along with solid play from Jayme Marbury, as well as servers and defensive specialists Jesalynn Beauchamp and Jazmin Miller, Robinson said everyone is settling nicely into their roles and she has been happy to see them improve this season. “They’ve all done a good job in their roles,” Robinson said. “It’s really been a team approach and I’ve been really pleased to see how much better the kids have gotten as we’ve gone through the season.”
