Agency. “Years ago it was actually recommended that people dispose of their old meds by flushing them,” said Sabrina Wood, of Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership. She said now studies have shown that flushing medications is not the best method at all. And where the DEA hosts this event to keep drugs off the street and out of the hands of those who would use and abuse them, the Clean Water Partnership’s concern is to keep them out of the environment

National Park Service Southeast Regional Director Stan Austin has selected Barbara Tagger as superintendent of Horseshoe Bend National Military Park in Daviston. Tagger currently serves as site manager for the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail, also Tagger in Alabama. She will begin her new assignment Oct.18. “We are very pleased to have Barbara as the superintendent of Horseshoe Bend,” Austin said. “She has a tremendous background in history and preservation and has displayed great leadership skills. We know she will work hard to strengthen the park’s bonds

Police officials say evidence against Eltoro Freeman will be presented to grand jury By Mitch Sneed Outlook Editor

Alexander City Police Chief Willie Robinson confirmed Wednesday that a sexual assault claim involving former Benjamin Russell and Auburn University football star Eltoro Freeman has been investigated, with the findings likely to be presented to the grand jury. “The incident was first reported in April,” Robinson said. “It was reported by a third party, but we had not had an opportunity to speak with the victim. That has been done now and a sexual assault complaint was signed earlier this week.” Robinson said he could not release any further details of the investigation, but did say that Freeman had not been arrested on charges related to the sexual assault complaint at this time. He said the adult female who filed the complaint has been advised of her options as far as protective orders. “We will allow the process to work See PROBE, Page 3

Residents can keep drugs off the street and out of Alabama’s waters by participating in the 10th annual Drug Take-Back event. On Saturday, Sept. 26, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. there will be a collection center set up at Walgreen’s in Alexander City to dispose of unwanted, unused or expired medications. Anyone can bring any kind of over-thecounter or pharmaceutical-grade drug to be disposed by the state Drug Enforcement

The evenings are growing cooler here in Tallapoosa County, promising fall soon and everything that goes along with it. One of those things is the annual Chair-ish Alexander City, sponsored by MainStreet Alexander City, where the artsy-craftsy ladies around town decorate chairs and other pieces of furniture to donate toward a fun and fundraising raffle. “This is our third year to do this,” said Jane Benton Howell, who sits on MainStreet’s Chair-ish committee. “Last year, we raised

We build a lot of events around Chair-ish and they’re all lots of fun.” Already, the decorated items are beginning to drift into the MainStreet office. Items are due by Thursday, Oct. 1. Photos of the items will be made available on the MainStreet Alexander City Facebook page and open to in-person viewing at the Lake Martin Area United Way office at 19 Main Street from Thursday, Oct. 8, through Saturday, Oct. 17. “The way it works is you can buy a raffle ticket for a chance on the item you want

for $5,” said Howell. “We will draw for the winners of each item at our Fall Festival on Oct. 17.” Fall Festival will be the culmination of the Chair-ish Alexander City event. Before then, there’s Rally in the Alley from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 8, which will allow residents to socialize, view the pieces to be raffled off at the festival and purchase their raffle tickets. “We’ll have wine and beer and appetizers available at Rally in the Alley, too,” Howell said. “It’s really just a chance for everyone to get together, socialize and see what beautiful

One injured in Thursday crash Alexander City Police Department personnel were called to the scene of a Thursday afternoon crash on Highway 280 at Dean Road. Oﬀicials said that the accident remains under investigations, but preliminary information suggests that a maroon Nissan Sentra traveling north of Dean moved into the path of a silver Scion that was eastbound on Highway 280, causing a “TBone” collision, with the Scion striking the Nissan in the driver’s side door. The driver of the Nissan received injuries described as “very serious,” and was still listed in critical condition as of presstime Thursday evening. Mitch Sneed / The Outlook

DEAR ABBY Advice

for our kids. Maybe we need to go back to teaching like when I was a kid. Just call me ... GRANDPARENT IN TEXAS DEAR GRANDPARENT: Frankly, your letter leaves me at a loss for words. I can only say that the problems with our educational system will not be resolved in an advice column. Readers? DEAR ABBY: I was sober for a year when I met my husband. Neither my alcoholism nor my 24 years of perfect sobriety have ever caused any upset for anyone in his family. His niece will be married later this year in a winery in

another state. The thought of it makes me anxious, and I am opting to not attend with my husband. Abby, I am not a “special” aunt, and I have no place in the wedding, which will be large. Some family members think I’m being selfish, but I believe I am my first responsibility. They are not the sort you can talk to, so please advise. Am I being selfish? -- VERY SAD IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR VERY SAD: Not in my opinion. Your reason for not attending makes sense to me, and it’s not “selfish” to skip an event at which you would not be comfortable. If you send your husband -- and a nice wedding gift -- I’m sure the bride will forgive your absence. And for those who would hold it against you, “remind” them that although you have maintained your sobriety for many years, it can’t be taken for granted because sobriety

is a day-to-day challenge for people with alcoholism. DEAR ABBY: My friend and I have a disagreement. We do crossword puzzles together at the dog park. She says using a thesaurus/dictionary is cheating. I say that if I look something up and then write it down, I’m learning. What say you, Abby? -- WILLIAM IN OCEANSIDE, CALIF. DEAR WILLIAM: I agree with you. For this friend to shame you because you need a little help with the answers isn’t very nice. The next time she says it, smile and ask her what a five-letter word with a “t” in the middle is. 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.

DEAR ABBY: There are no words to express how disappointed I am at the education kids receive now and still graduate with “honors.” I was at the grocery store a short time ago. Two young ladies working there just completed their freshman year at the local college. One of them had been on the honor roll all through high school. I bought four packages of gravy mix that were on sale -- four packages for $1. As the cashier rang it up, I noticed that she had entered them at 44 cents apiece. When I brought it to her attention, she asked the other cashier if that was right. She asked, “Fortyfour cents, wouldn’t that be four for $1?” The other one picked up a calculator to find the answer. Can you tell me, what did this honor student learn in school? Both girls are in college. My heart is broken

and ultimately out of drinking water. A release from the attorney general’s office said that about 5,624 pounds worth of drugs were collected in one day last fall and that from all of the nine times that the state has participated, roughly 37,624 pounds have been collected. “Sewage and waste water plants are not set up to process this medicine,” said Wood. She said that, for example, antibiotics are creating problems for treatment facilities because they kill beneficial bacteria needed by the wastewater treatment plants to operate. According to Eddie Spivey, a task force officer with the DEA, all of the drugs collected on Saturday will be taken to one of the agency’s four offices in the state and from there they will be taken to an incinerator and destroyed. He emphasized that the agency’s main concern is to prevent the abuse and unlawful distribution of prescription medicine. Spivey said that there is an officer is there to monitor the process, but that is all. The Drug Take-Back event is supposed to maintain a “no questions asked” drop off, and Spivey said, even the medicines discarded Saturday will not be sorted through. They are there for the drugs, not the person, he said. “The only thing we really say is thank you have a good day or something like that,” said Spivey. Prescription medicines are the easiest to obtain, the most potent, and still a very big problem, said Spivey, and even though it’s far from his agency’s list of important reasons for collecting the drugs, he also noted their environmental impact. “Everything you flush, it eventually goes back to a clean waterway,” said Spivey

with local community leaders and other stakeholders.” Tagger has been a professional research historian and historic preservationist for the National Park Service for more than 33 years. She participated in the creation, development, and management of several national park units. In 2007, the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, Maryland Park Service, recruited Barbara to act as interim project manager for the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad State Park Initiative. In the fall of 2012, she was selected to manage the Selma to Montgomery National Historic Trail headquartered in Lowndes County. She has authored numerous articles and essays that have appeared in National Park Service and professional publications. Tagger received the coveted 2013 Harriet Tubman Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the Baltimore African American Tourism Council in Maryland, and the 2002 William C. Everhart award for sustained achievements in interpretation and fostering an appreciation of cultural and historic heritage within the National Park Service. She earned a bachelor of arts degree in United States history and political science at Howard University, Washington, D.C, and a master of arts degree in United States history with a specialization in African American history at Atlanta University. “I am honored to be selected as superintendent of Horseshoe Bend,” Tagger said. “The park holds an important place in American history and I look forward to working with the park staff, volunteers and partners to continue preserving it for future generations to learn about and experience.” Tagger’s hobbies are reading, traveling, music, and sports. She is also an avid fan of the St. Louis Cardinals baseball team.

and let the grand jury make that determination,” Robinson said. News of the sexual assault investigation comes on the heels of Freeman’s arrest on Aug. 24 on a criminal mischief charge of criminal. Robinson said that Freeman was accused of causing damage to a vehicle belonging to the same woman who is listed as the victim in the sexual assault case on Aug. 24. Records show that Freeman posted a bond on shortly after his arrest and released a short time later on Aug. 24. It is unclear when the matter

could be presented to the grand jury. Freeman had been working in some capacity at Alexander City Middle School. Alexander City Schools Superintendent Darrell Cooper said that they are limited in what information can be released regarding past and present employees. Cooper said that Freeman had been a contract employee with the school system since the spring of 2013, but indicated that Freeman “no longer works here as of last week.” Freeman, a 2007 graduate of

Benjamin Russell, was a 2006 All-State linebacker before signing with Auburn. He did not qualify academically, but attended Mississippi Gulf Coast where became a Junior College AllAmerican and led the team to the 2007 NJCAA Co-National Championship. Freeman transferred to Auburn in 2008 and was a part of the 2010 National Championship team. Despite being a non-qualifier to begin his college career, Freeman worked hard and graduated with a degree in philosophy from Auburn in 2011.

pieces the participants have decorated.” The celebration of the Fall Festival starts at 9 a.m. with the MainStreet farmer’s market and one final chance to view the items up for raffle and purchase tickets. Before the items are raffled beginning at 2 p.m., there will be wagon rides through the town available and games for the children, including a spoon race, Bone in a Haystack and pumpkin bowling. Pumpkin bowling is strictly BYOP – bring your own pumpkin – according to committee member Peggy Clayton, who, along with Kay Perryman, is in charge of this year’s Fall Festival. “We’ll have alleys lined with hay bales and our homemade bowling pins set up,” Clayton said. “But people need to remember to bring their own pumpkin if they want to bowl.” The annual pumpkin roll will round out the events prior to the raffle. Everyone is invited to roll their pumpkin down the hill on Alabama Street. The person whose pumpkin reaches the finish line first is the winner. “The Pumpkin Roll is always our last event prior to the raffle and it’s always a lot of fun,” said Howell. “We hope everyone will come out and join us for that.” The raffle is the final event of the Fall Festival. Howell said they hope to have at least 50 items submitted for the raffle and to raise more money than last year. The money raised through Chair-ish Alexander City is used to help fund other events in Alex City’s downtown area. Chair-ish Alexander City 2015 committee members are Jane Howell, Richie Radney, Sandy Thompson, Jan Jung, Jamie Dark, Peggy Clayton, Betty Barnett, Richard Wagoner, Sandra Thompson, Kay Perryman, Laurie Sturdivant, Denise Walls and Pam Young.

Our

Opinion

Talk of Wind Creek additions is encouraging

he potential of additions at Wind Creek State Park to create a first-class conference center is exciting news. And now that both our Tallapoosa County Commission and Alexander City Council have thrown their support behind the effort, we hope Alexander City and Tallapoosa County residents will give it their full-fledged support as well. We feel comfortable that conference accommodations, a 250room hotel, an 18-hole golf course and other recreational additions would turn Wind Creek – already one of the biggest engines for the area’s economy – into one of the most desirable conference locations in the state for corporations and other groups. As an added bonus, it would likely expose countless individuals who might not otherwise experience the Lake Martin area to all it has to offer, bringing them back again and again with their families and other groups to one of the true recreational jewels of the South. We sincerely hope that all the necessary parties can come to the table to make the Wind Creek conference center happen sooner rather than later. This project is yet another that the Alexander CityTallapoosa County area needs to help establish it as bona fide destination for both tourists and business groups needing time away from their offices either to plan or just take a much-deserved few days’ break. Yet as much as we’d like to see the project happen quickly, we want something the area will be proud of. We want a tastefully designed, well-constructed and well-planned destination that offers everything visitors to a full-service resort at a beautiful location like Lake Martin would expect. This proposal comes on the heels of word earlier this year that a zipline attraction is planned in the near future at Wind Creek State Park. It is still unclear what cuts to the state parks budget in the recently passed state budget will have on the parks, but we hope that the direction will continue to be forward thinking rather than stuck in neutral or being shifted to reverse. After all, as our most precious natural resource in the area, Lake Martin deserves only the best. We trust that those working to bring this proposal to fruition agree. And we trust that all of our readers see the value such a project would add to the area, both through economics and reputation. We ask that you join us and advocate for this project in any and all ways you can.

The

The Left has finally found its Pope

ope Francis makes his first U.S. visit this week. He will chat with President Obama and address the Senate and House. It will be a good crowd for the pope – he loves audiences who have never really heard his material. In the pope’s orthodoxy, sloth, anger, gluttony, greed, envy, pride and lust are the Seven Deadly Sins. In Washington, they’re the days of the week. Francis’ time with Obama will be interesting, given the holier-than-thou attitude and unbending dogma he is known for. But the pope will just have to look past that. Obama’s presidency and the nation are more secular than ever. Today, when people say, “Is the pope Catholic?,” it’s because they really don’t know. The two men have become unlikely political allies. Obama sold the pope on the global warming scam that helps take money from some and redistribute it to others based on a belief, not facts – similar business models. And they both have contempt for capitalism, which I hope the pope tempers while here. He will learn that our prosperity and generosity stem from freedom and capitalism. The pope’s leftist ideologies have resulted in a recent decline in his U.S. favorability ratings, from 76 percent to 59 percent. If this trend continues, we could be looking at a one-life-term pope. His economic address sounded like Obama’s speechwriters had penned it. The pontiff demanded more government control and regulation over the economy, citing the gap between the rich and the poor. He told world leaders to stop the “the tyranny of money.” I’m

RON HART Columnist

not sure I’d cast the first stone on excess and money from the opulent Vatican – funded by the least-transparent financial institution in the world, the Vatican Bank. The pope called money “the devil’s dung,” which was also the name of the Argentine bar where he once worked as a bouncer. I like that the pope was a bouncer. It explains his new policy: On Wednesday nights, women get into heaven free. Just because the pope is “infallible,” it does not mean he can’t get some things wrong. Oh, wait. But on economics and the sources of poverty, he did. No other system yet devised has lifted so many out of poverty and alleviated human misery worldwide as has capitalism. The pope’s socialist homeland, Argentina, has abject poverty and slums. Even the poorest Americans live better than average Argentines. Average income in the U.S., based on effort and ability, is $52,000. In Argentina, home of “fairly distributed” socialism, the average income is about $18,000 – and it goes disproportionally to a politically-connected few. Leftists make the mistake of conflating poverty with inequality. Rags-to-riches stories abound in America, but in “equality Utopias” like Argentina and Cuba, rags-torags stories dominate. If opportunity is equal, outcomes, by definition, will be unequal. All any authority should seek is that everyone has a fair chance

at success. There is no way to have equal outcomes, ever, unless it is equal misery. Popes give their lives to the Lord. Economics is not in their skill set, so I understand his thinking. Popes are like the lead in James Bond movies: They always get replaced by another white guy. The childless pope also believes that we should have more kids. Maybe he should raise my kids for a few weeks and then get back to me. Obama is all about his “legacy.” Oddsmakers have made Obama (for the Iran nuclear deal) and Pope Francis odds-on favorites to win the next Nobel Peace Prize. By the way, if you are betting on the Nobel Peace Prize winner, you most likely have a gambling problem. My view is that the pope is Time’s Person of the Year; Obama should be “Persian of the Year.” No doubt the pope is a great man. To avoid appearing materialistic, he lives in a small apartment in the Vatican and drives a Ford Focus. No man who drives a Focus can ever have his vow of celibacy questioned. No one believes our economic system creates heaven on Earth or that it’s perfect. It’s simply the best one God has created. Let’s not stifle it with politically expedient rhetoric. Hopefully, the pope will better understand capitalism when he compares today’s Cuba with the U.S. We love the pope but hope he avoids political ideology. Remember, the Gospels are Matthew, Luke, John and Mark – not Marx. Ronald Hart is a syndicated op-ed humorist, award-wining author and TV/radio commentator. His columns are carried in over forty newspapers and online publications.

Letters to the Editor

Young: It’s time to limit mayor’s powers To the City Council of Alexander City: Let me first say, I applaud your commitment and service to our city. Being a council member is a sacrifice in so many ways that people will never understand, especially if you put the time and effort into it as truly expected and needed. Some elected officials do that and others just want to have the ability to vote and draw a check. Tough decisions have to be made for the betterment of our community regardless of the opinions of friends, churches or family members. It’s time to consider new alternatives to get control of this “train wreck” that continues. You, as a council, have the authority and power to suspend certain duties and powers of the mayor at any time. This is a reminder that the mayor is elected by the people but answers to the council in regards to “policies and procedures.” It seems to me that the continued embarrassment to our community gives you enough reasoning to take drastic actions to prevent any further “headline” news. Due to the continuation of separation between the council/mayor relationships, I’d like to encourage you to consider new alternatives. Without being overly critical, sometime leaders become overwhelmed in their new duties or choose the wrong advisors to support them. There is no doubt that one of the two mentioned above, if not both, is a main concern. Therefore, I’d like to strongly recommend that you as a council suspend the mayor’s authority over the finance department and human resources for the remainder

of this administration. Allow him to continue to be the mayor and face of the city, but take away the responsibilities in those departments. In doing this, let me also remind you, the council, that you become fully responsible for the operations of these departments. It’s your duty to return these areas of turmoil back to norm. In closing, let me say one more thing that’s as important as anything. You, the city council and mayor, are responsible to the citizens to make the best decisions at all times for the betterment of Alex City. We, as citizens, are tired of reading about the lack of professionalism, drama and wrongdoings within our city. We shouldn’t have 125 citizens show up at a council meeting to watch the fireworks and drama unfold. We should have 125 people show up at council meetings to applaud our council and mayor for a job well done. I’m in favor of the positive over the negative every time. I hope and pray that you will consider the options that you have. Don’t give up or get so frustrated that you want to quit serving our city. There are strong reasons why people don’t run for office. You made this commitment, so please continue to work hard for all of us. I enjoy bragging on my hometown. Give me positive ammunition, not negative. Bill Young Alexander City Concerned citizen and former city councilman

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Use the morning to the max, when you have a receptive audience. Meetings will go smoothly except for an issue that arises about who wants to take the lead. You could sense a power play starting. ReĂ&#x2026;ect before you act. Tonight: Check in with an older friend or relative. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH A boss or a respected associate demonstrates his or her respect and caring. You might be more demanding than you realize and could cause a rift unintentionally. A situation is likely to develop in which youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to handle a personal matter. Tonight: Relax with the moment. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH You might have the best intentions, yet a partner seems to be deĂ&#x201E;ant. This situation easily could develop into a major rift. Financial implications also might emerge. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t push, but support yourself in creating more stability. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get too feisty with a family member. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll open up to a diÉ&#x2C6;erent perspective that allows you to see the big picture. Decisions made with this mindset will prove to be excellent. Choose to go your own way, if possible, and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get up in someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s need to have it his or her way. Tonight: Watch a favorite movie. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHH Others continue to seek you out. You might need to screen calls and be less available. A personal issue arises that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to deal with Ă&#x201E;rst. If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to share what is happening, make it OK. Tonight: Go along with someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH Dive into a project in the morning. The more you get done, the better oÉ&#x2C6; you will be. Complications easily could occur in the evening. You will need to divide your attention. Before you say or do anything, make sure your motive is not anger.

Tonight: Just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be alone. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Share your ideas in the morning. You have the ability to Ă&#x201E;nd excellent solutions. Understand what a loved one is asking you. At a certain point, you must focus on a project. Screen calls to accomplish what you want. Tonight: Wind down and relax. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your creativity could be limited by a personal situation, but once it is handled, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be able to handle nearly any situation. A friend could be overly assertive, making you somewhat uncomfortable. Make a choice that you feel is needed. Tonight: Celebrate the weekend! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might not be able to free yourself from being caught in conversation after conversation. At some point in the day, you will want to isolate yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. Be ready to handle a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s demands. Tonight: Head home. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHH Deal with a Ă&#x201E;nancial matter head-on. Reassess a situation that you feel is determined by its stability and Ă&#x201E;nancial ramiĂ&#x201E;cations. You will seek out answers to your questions, and you will get them. Others gain more awareness. Your mood could swiftly change. Tonight: TGIF. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Complete what you must in the morning. You also might see one situation create multiple conversations. You could feel worn out by midafternoon, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll greet the weekend with a smile. Take oÉ&#x2C6; early if you can. Make plans spontaneously. Tonight: Treat a friend to dinner. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You might feel as if you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t accomplish what you want. Swallow that feeling, and assume a positive attitude. Dive into your work.

ACMS building confidence, momentum in 2015 By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

Robert Hudson / The Outlook

ACMS running back Hezekiah Hunter (23) breaks to the outside for one of his touchdown runs against Pike Road on Tuesday at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex.

While the high school football season has moved to the halfway point, the feeder program for Benjamin Russell is progressing to the end of if its season. The Alexander City Middle School Wildcats football team has played five games at the 8th grade level and four at the 7th grade level so far this season. The last game was a 38-20 win by the Wildcats’ 8th grade team over Pike Road on Tuesday. In that game, Hezekiah Hunter, Xzavia Stowes, Keedon Young and Ryan Willis scored touchdowns for ACMS. ACMS quarterback Cam Morris threw two of those touchdown passes and Lucan Yates kicked extra points for the Wildcats. Pokey Norris, Joe Young and Dwight Abercrumbie each had an interception in the win. On the season, the ACMS 8th graders are 2-3, while the 7th graders were 0-4 entering Thursday’s game against Coosa.

ACMS head coach Bill Lutz said the team is making progress and learning to play together as a team. “The first four games, as expected with our 7th and 8th grade teams, we were searching for an identity and a purpose,” Lutz said. “Our kids are buying into playing Wildcat football other than ‘it’s all about me.’ They’re discovering the fundamentals that go along with this game and they’re starting to apply what they’re learning in practice and exhibit it on the playing field, which is what it’s all about. Our victories haven’t really come on the scoreboard, but they’ve come from growth and them maturing as a group.” Lutz added the coaching staff has been doing a good job of developing the young players for the future. “Then, the coaching staff, you’ve got to give them credit,” Lutz said. “I work with seven other guys that have been tremendous as far as working with young men.” ACMS will take the field again Oct. 1 at Tuskegee starting at 6 p.m.

Cougars hope road trip to Isabella results in first win By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

The Central High School of Coosa County Cougars hope the road to Isabella leads to a win on Friday night. The Cougars (0-4, 0-2 in Class 3A-Region 3) will travel to face the Isabella Mustangs (1-3, 0-2 in Class 1A-Region 3) on Friday at 7 p.m. Barry Simmons, head coach of Central-Coosa, said the Mustangs are a tough team that likes to run the football right at opposing defenses. “Isabella, they’re a good football team that gets after you,” Simmons said. “They run a very unorthodox offense in the Notre Dame Box. So, you have to spend a lot of time preparing for their offense. They’re a hardnosed, physical football team.” In order to get ready for the box offense, which relies on a lot of misdirection, Simmons said the Cougars will have to trust their reads and get as much work as possible in practice. “The biggest thing is repetition and having good eye discipline seeing what’s going on and not getting caught up in all of the backfield motion,” Simmons said. “It’s about reading your keys and doing your assignment. It’s about assignment football when you’re facing an offense like this. You can’t get lost trying to look at everything because you can’t see everything that’s going on. You’ve got to read your key, trust your key and get where you’re supposed to be. “Outside of that, you have to prepare through repetition so the kids can see it over and over. As

many reps as we get in practice, the better we’re going to be at defending it.” While the Cougars will enter tonight’s game still searching for their first win, Simmons said the team has remained positive. He noted that tonight’s game will be the first after a stretch of opponents that have a combined record of 14-3. “We’ve talked to the kids about this over and over. If you look at the combined record of our first four opponents, it’s pretty good,” Simmons said. “We haven’t played a bad team all year. That’s what I’m telling the kids and that’s what I’m telling myself, because the morale can drop when you put all the work in but you’re not winning. I still think our kids are practicing hard and buying into what we’re doing. They’ve just got to see a W on the board. If they trust me, keep doing the things I tell them to do and keep doing things right, then we’re going to get some wins.” In order to walk away with the win, Simmons said the Cougars will have to play assignment football and create big plays while minimizing mistakes. “The key to Friday night’s game, No. 1, is to play physical because they’re going to be a physical football team,” Simmons said. “No. 2, we’ve got to have great discipline on defense and play our assignment. No. 3, we’ve got to have some explosive plays on offense. I feel like we can get some explosive plays on them, but we also have to eliminate their explosive plays and not turn the football over. If we do that, we’ll be fine.”
