he 1960s saw musical phenoms like The Rolling Stones, The Who, The Beach Boys and Led Zepplin start their storied careers. In 1968, Debbie Brewer and Vicky Patterson living on opposite sides of a Tallapoosa County country church, started to play the piano and organ for the church. While the well-known phenoms have come and gone or rotated members in and out to try and stay alive, Brewer and Patterson have been steady acts every Sunday at Eagle Creek Baptist Church for the last 50 years. It is something along the lines of a miracle to Eagle Creek Baptist pastor Dr. Tim Thompson. “It is the most amazing thing I have ever seen,” Thompson said. “It is an amazing commitment. They must have started when they were 2.” Brewer and Patterson did not start at the age of 2, but the were still awfully young in the summer of 1968. “I was 11 and she was 13,” Patterson said. “Debbie was playing the piano before then.” But they got their start in music even earlier. “I started taking music in the second grade,” Brewer said. “Leila Ponder was the music See CHURCH • Page 3 Cliff Williams / The Outlook

DEAR ABBY: About 20 months ago, after I found out I was pregnant, I was abandoned by the father of my child. My mother had passed away a month before. So I was grieving, shocked to discover I was pregnant and devastated when I was left for another woman. I went through my pregnancy alone, gave birth alone and am now a single mother. While my child and I are blessed -- I have a good job, Momma left me some money that has helped me buy a home, and my friends are supportive -- my heart is broken. My son’s father pays child support, but his priority is the woman he left us for. Everyone tells me I need to be the bigger person, accept the situation and give my son a chance to know his father. I understand all of that, but I am so angry. I feel rejected and debased. I cry all the time. I try to keep a positive face for my son, but sometimes I break down. My son’s father and his lady make fun of me and flaunt how happy they

DEAR ABBY Advice

are together while I am alone raising my child. The woman enjoys pointing out how hard I have it and how alone I am. My son is my joy and I love him dearly, but why am I not allowed to be angry at his father and that woman? Why must I be the one who accepts the hurt and difficulty, while my son’s father and his lady have their cake and eat it, too? I would really appreciate your thoughts. -- HURT MOMMA IN THE EAST DEAR HURT MOMMA: While you have every right to be angry, has it occurred to you that you may not only be grieving for your mother, but possibly be suffering from postpartum depression as well? Discuss this with your doctor and ask to have your hormone levels checked. It might also benefit you to join a grief support group.

Your ex-boyfriend and his “lady” may appear to have their cake and eat it, too, but it’s not true. They have each other, and both of them appear to be miserable people. For the sake of yourself and your son, please stop allowing them to make you miserable, too. You have your beautiful child, and endless possibilities lie ahead if you will open yourself to them. If necessary, find a licensed therapist to help you let go of the negative and get your priorities straight again. Once you succeed in doing this, you’ll be fine. DEAR ABBY: We used to display a wide variety of family pictures on our living room walls. Before repainting, we took them down. Because some of them include our children’s former and current relationships, we can’t decide which ones we can comfortably “redisplay” without offending anybody. We have remained on good terms with former in-laws and the children from

prior relationships, but the “new” and the “old” never speak of each other, much less enjoy seeing pictorial reminders hanging in our home. Some of our grandchildren are blood relatives; others are not. Our children have moved on to other relationships. This is OUR home, but we don’t want to offend any of the people we welcome into it. Any advice? -PICTURING IT IN ARIZONA DEAR PICTURING IT: You are a sweet and sensitive person. Talk to your children. Ask how they and their children would feel if you “edit” the collection, and which ones they would prefer you retire. And be sure to offer the outtakes to them rather than toss them.

teacher at the Dadeville Schools. We had music until like the seventh grade.” Brewer was already playing the piano at the church having had lessons before Patterson. Then the church decided to make its music program bigger. “We had the piano and got the organ in 1968,” Patterson said. “Since I had piano lessons, I started playing the piano.” Brewer made the move over to the challenging organ with all its extra keys, knobs and pedals. “When they bought the organ, Ms. Daisy Collins came up here and gave me five lessons to learn to play the foot pedals,” Brewer said. “After that we have played every Sunday together.” With parents working, the young ladies found ways to get better. “It was summer when we got it (organ),” Patterson said. “She lived that way and I lived the opposite way. We would ride our bicycles up here to meet for practice.” Fifty years later, it is just old hat to the pair and the church family to see them either side of the alter and pulpit. “Our families have been here all their lives,” Brewer said. “We grew up here. There is no reason to leave.” Not even marriages took the pair from the small church in the bend of the road between

Dadeville and Horseshoe Bend even though Brewer’s husband was from another church. “When I married, we still came here,” Brewer said. “He came with me. I didn’t go with him.” Patterson had a little easier time convincing her husband to let her stay. “Mine grew up here too,” she said.” Brewer and Patterson share more than just musical talents.

“Both of us were school teachers,” Brewer said. “We have done the same thing for our whole lives. We are cousins.” Though Patterson admits not that close of kin though. “Distant cousins, but not first,” Patterson said. The two cousins who arguably are the music program at Eagle Creek Baptist along with the choir are unique according to Thompson who has served at large churches like Frazier

United Methodist Church in Montgomery. “Most small churches struggle to find one person to play,” Thompson said. “We have two gifted musicians. It is amazing. I had no idea they had been playing together that long when I got here. The music program here is amazing and it is because of them.” The pair have lost count how many Sundays they have played but it has to be well over 2,500.

They have an interesting way to keep up just how long they have been in front of the congregation. “It is too many,” Patterson said. “We keep up with it by preachers and choir directors.” Brewer and Patterson have served with 10 choir directors and 11 preachers at Eagle Creek Baptist Church. “That’s what we can remember,” Brewer joked. The 50 years of music with Brewer and Patterson at Eagle Creek Baptist Church have not been without miscues. “We have had our ups and downs,” Patterson said. “I remember when we first started I remember being on a different page or something. There is also a button on the organ that if it gets turned it changes keys on the organ. That has messed us up too.” There have been opportunities for them to leave and go to another church. “I have played at different churches for weddings and such,” Brewer explained. “People ask if I want to play there and I say, ‘Noooooo. I gotta stay at my church.’” Their golden anniversary will be celebrated at the Sept. 30 service but it is not likely to be anywhere close to their last service. “There is no reason for to leave,” Brewer said. “We do it for free. We just love it. We love to play.”

Wilkinson “I have been in education 27 years,” Wilkinson said. “Of those, I’ve been a principal 21 years, and I’ve been at Benjamin Russell, this is my fifth year.” Initially, Wilkinson said he was a nursing student at Jacksonville State University, while also working as an athletic trainer for the JSU football team, before realizing it would be difficult for him to continue his training work and complete his clinicals. Transitioning to history, Wilkinson was able to complete his degree before being hired to his first teaching position at Sylacauga High School. “I enjoy being around kids and I like the idea of teaching my content to students,” Wikinson said. A friend of his who became a principal in Talladega County convinced Wilkinson to obtain his administration degree. After completing this, Wilkinson returned home to Clay County as an assistant principal at the former Clay County High School, staying there for 10 years and becoming principal along the way, then going back to Talladega County to be the principal at Childersburg for four years and Munford for another three years. While still the principal at Munford, Alexander City School Superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper convinced Wilkinson to come down to Alexander City and be the new principal at Benjamin Russell. “What I enjoy here is the community support, the overall culture of the school and the support from Dr. Cooper and the board of education,” Wilkinson said. After Cooper brought Wilkinson on board as principal at Benjamin Russell, installing the vision Wilkinson had for the school was a gradual process in the first year, but really took off after that. “The first year, it was all about setting high expectations,” Wilkinson said. “We started putting programs into place in year two.” These programs, including the Wildcat Showcase, Reality Check, Senior Blitz and other events were created as opportunities the students could express themselves, while also showing them the importance of owning their education and their future after high school. “It’s a process of taking

continued from page 1

students, giving them the chance to take on a leadership role in the school, taking ownership of the school and meeting the expectations we set for them,” Wilkinson said. “If you own it, then you believe in it.” Now that he has seen a group of students spend all four years at Benjamin Russell under the vision he put forward, Wilkinson believes the school has made a great deal of progress, but there are still

some things with it that need tweaking moving forward. This includes making sure the younger students understand how things work at Benjamin Russell and why things are done like they are, which oftentimes comes with growing and maturing. “At times, you can see the culture of the school being where you want it to be at, and at times, you know you still have to keep working at it,” Wilkinson said. “Every year, we

bring in new freshmen and teachers, and we have to make sure they buy in to the process. “These freshmen and sophomores, they may not always understand it, but when they look back on it their junior and senior years, they understand it a lot better. It’s all about the end product, feeling confident that our graduates will be successful, no matter what they do when they leave here” Some of the biggest

challenges Wilkinson said the high school faces include bringing in top-tier teachers, convincing students there is more than what’s in their neighborhood, yet reminding them they have to work to earn what they get and having a new high school campus. “It would send a message that we’re progressive here,” Wilkinson said. “It gives the community a great sense of pride.”

Despite the challenges and need to continue making progress on his vision, Wilkinson feels Benjamin Russell has made great strides over the past several years, progress he wants to continue seeing moving forward. “I don’t want to compromise our values,” he said. “I want our students to graduate from here knowing they’ve accomplished something. Without a doubt, I think we have been successful.”

Reporting the news and everything in between

Today’s

Scripture

very day is a different day in the newspaper business. You never know what events our reporters will be called to each day, or what type of news will break in the middle of the day to throw the paper’s whole game plan off. But that’s the fun of it. Along with the fun, there are issues. People may complain about the way we handled something or a story we reported on. Those complaints still come even though the story is the 100 percent truth. We are here to report the news, and unfortunately, it’s not always pretty. Maybe a friend or loved one got arrested. Unfortunately, The Outlook has to report on that. We report on all major arrests released by local law enforcement — no matter who they are. It’s our job. Our job is also to find all the interesting people in our community and spotlight their talent or uniqueness. Today’s front page features a story about two local ladies who have been playing the piano and organ together at the same church for 50 years. Isn’t that amazing? Those are the kind of good things we look for and report on. Unfortunately, the bad and the ugly are included in the good. It’s all news, and as long as The Outlook is standing, that’s what we will report on. We hope our readers understand no matter what, if it’s happening in this community, it’s being reported on. That includes arrests, shootings, fatal car accidents and whatever else may not be “good” news. It also includes field trips being taken by our local students, progress being made in our city and at our schools, interesting characters who live in our community and everything in between. Thank you for sticking with us through the ups and downs and turning to us for news. We know we make mistakes. We’re just like you, and far from perfect. But please know we work tirelessly to provide our readers with the news happening in this community.

The ominous decline of social democracy

he rise of Donald Trump was shocking but it was not a oneoff. The forces that brought him to power have parallels across democracies as fears about immigration, inwardlooking nationalism and discontent over economic globalization push an everlarger share of voters to the far right. For American progressives, it is especially disturbing that social democracy, one of the most humane political movements of the last century, is losing ground almost everywhere. What can we learn from its decline? Social democracy has been conducive to free societies because it is principled about its goals but pragmatic about how to reach them. Like movements further to their left, social democrats are committed to greater economic equality and to empowering the marginalized. But they accept market systems as long as they are properly regulated in the public interest. Social democrats pushed back against inequality though social insurance (including guaranteed health coverage), and investment in social benefits, including infrastructure and education. The United States has never had a dominant social democratic party, but the historian Richard Hofstadter was right to see the New Deal as introducing a “social democratic tinge” to our politics. Because social democrats have been so important to undergirding democracy itself, all Americans have reason to worry about the weakening of the movement across Europe. The latest blow came in the Swedish elections on Sept. 9. The country’s long-dominant Social Democrats came in first, but with just 28.4 percent of the vote, down sharply from their recent peak of 45.3 percent in 1994. True, the Social Democrats did a bit better than expected, and the rightwing Sweden Democrats did worse. Still, the antiimmigration party was up nearly 5 points to 17.6

E.J. DIONNE Columnist percent, an astonishing surge from its 0.4 percent electoral debut in 1998. Social democratic parties have also suffered in recent elections elsewhere, notably in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. In France, the Socialist Party has been virtually wiped out by President Emmanuel Macron, whose new centrist party drew a large share of formerly Socialist voters. Only in Portugal and, to some degree, in Spain is there anything like a socialdemocratic revival. In the Swedish case, as in so many others, antiimmigrant sentiment was the primary driver of votes to the far right. Sweden has been exceptionally generous in accepting refugees, and the once-homogeneous country’s population was 18.5 percent foreign-born in 2017 (compared with 13.7 percent in the U.S.). The Sweden Democrats’ vote-share was contained because the other major parties became tougher on immigration as the campaign went on. But Sheri Berman, a Barnard College scholar and close student of social democracy, noted that this was not enough to blunt the desertion of one-time Social Democratic voters to the far right. Exit polls showed that the largest share of defectors from the Social Democrats since the last election — fully onethird of them — went to the Sweden Democrats. They also suffered a net loss to a party on their left, but partly offset this deficit by picking up some former Green Party voters. In an interview, Berman pointed to a paradox confronting the centerleft: Many defectors to the far right in Sweden are supporters of the welfare state, just as Trump voters embrace Social Security and Medicare. But these “welfare nationalists” often blame

foreigners for diluting their social services, when the reductions are typically the result of austerity or privatization policies pursued by the moderate right — responding, it should be said, to impatience with old welfarestate structures among more conservative middle-class voters. And the loss of factory work results in an electoral double whammy, reducing the social base for labororiented center-left parties while also breeding resentments among those who once held these jobs. Many of them have moved to the far right in Europe and, in the United States, to Trump. The European experience underscores why the debate inside the Democratic Party is so vexing. The party’s left has a point in arguing that working-class voters (of all races) feel shortchanged by the new economy and the failure of government to offer them adequate relief. At the same time, those encouraging moderation in the party’s messaging stress the need to respond to the sense of cultural displacement many of these same voters experience in a moment of rapid change. Can this circle be squared? Hostility to Trump may well be enough for Democrats in 2018. But like center-left parties elsewhere, they must grapple over the longer run with forces driving former friends of the post-World War II social settlement into the arms of right-wing nationalists.

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Fortunately, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind being tossed into the limelight. Your vision and interpretation will be valued. You also delegate well, which you will do when you feel the timing works. You see the beneĂ&#x201E;t of allowing someone else to take the lead. Tonight: Out until the wee hours. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A loved one goes out of his or her way for you. You clearly see how much you mean to this person; you feel cared about and you enjoy his or her attention. When you detach and eye the big picture, you will understand what is really being oÉ&#x2C6;ered. Tonight: Follow the music. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others seek you out. You might feel cared about on a level that you can barely acknowledge. Emotion and intensity could mark your interactions. One person could become unusually controlling; he or she needs your time and attention. Tonight: Spotlight a loved one. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might have very little choice but to defer to others. Be gracious, even if one party displays a need for control. You do not need to play into this. You hear a lot of news just by hanging out. Do your best to keep the other party talking. Tonight: Express your feelings. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You want your freedom, even if your choice is to be with one special person. You can be charming and fun when you let loose. Your sense of direction will take you down a new path. Others might be reluctant to follow, but eventually some will join you. Tonight: Time for fun! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be overwhelmed by everything that is going on. Stay light and easy with a domestic issue. You might not want to commit to a solution unless one is deemed necessary. Maintain an appropriate stance, yet enjoy a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s naughtiness. Tonight: Let the party continue.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You no longer can hold back from expressing your feelings about a hot-topic issue. Honestly, you do not have the type of control you desire, but you must express your thoughts on the matter in question. Accept an invitation to be spontaneous and free. Tonight: Let the fun begin. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your words make a diÉ&#x2C6;erence to those in your immediate circle. You cannot avoid a neighbor who has some news to share with you. You might decide to stay mum about what you hear. Reach out to a relative who is often unavailable. Tonight: Hang out at a favored haunt. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Others canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to get enough of you, and as a result they clamor for your attention. Say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? to someone who attempts to manipulate you purely for his or her own beneĂ&#x201E;t. Use caution with your funds. Count your change with care. Tonight: Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t cocoon at home; head out! CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Keep reaching out to a loved one in order to have a long-overdue conversation. This person will be delighted by your eÉ&#x2C6;orts. Maintain a low proĂ&#x201E;le, if possible. You could be happy just watching a ballgame or playing a game of cards. Tonight: Make the most of the evening. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worry about what others think you should do. You might care a little, as some people seem to have good ideas that you hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t considered. A conversation could be so oÉ&#x2C6; the wall that you can barely even respond. Tonight: Allow someone else to take the lead. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Emotions run high around you. Whether you know it or not, you might be the most popular person or the one everyone is looking for. You have a way of bringing others together. Friends appreciate your eÉ&#x2C6;orts. A project comes to completion. Tonight: Out late.

sounds. The city is expected to bring in about $3.5 million more than itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s expected to spend. However, there are about $8.1 million in capital projects being asked for by city departments, finance director Sandy Stanbrough said. The department heads turning in capital projects were asked to rank the projects by a numbering system, spelling out what projects are immediate, the projects that need attention but could wait and projects they would like to see completed. During a work session of the city council Friday, the council chose to focus on the projects that are immediate for now and monitor projected revenues throughout the year to see if the other work can be done. The immediate projects turned in by city departments still equal $6.8 million. Mayor Jim Nabors said the outstanding balance for the critical projects would most likely come from city reserves. The city also heard some results of a wage study through human resources director Kathy Railey Friday. She said it was recommended to place all employees with an administrative assistant title

Transportation

on the same wage scale because there were different pay structures in varying departments. Other suggestions were to increase the salaries of linemen in the utility department to help with recruitment and fund a third school resource officer for the city school system. Tourism talk also made its way into the discussion since the council recently passed a 14 percent lodging tax after a 5-percent increase this past summer. Nabors has said recently officials plan to create a tourism authority with a board appointed by the city council and an employee answering to the city through the body. The first step in that process would be hiring a director or manager. Council president Tom Spraggins threw out the number of $150,000 get the board and director started. He was accounting for salary, setting up an office, marketing materials, computers and travel expenses. As for appropriations to city agencies, Stanbrough said many of the line items remained the same. One of the organizations asking for a modest jump in funding was Main Street Alexander City which asked for an increase of $20,000 in

funding for $50,000 in all. Main Street executive director Bre Smith said the organization has several projects lined up to beautify the downtown area. Some of those projects are landscaping improvements, better signage in the downtown, replacing and adding eight new trash receptacles throughout the area. She said the new receptacles would bring the total to 25 trash cans in the downtown area and the improved cans would have a place for cigarette butts as well. Smith said feedback Main Street has gotten from the community is the current trash cans are old and rotted at the bottom. All in all, Main Street plans to spend about $100,000 in downtown throughout the next fiscal year. Councilman Scott Hardy recommended that due to the all the capital projects in the city this year, maybe a compromise could be to allocate the $20,000 increase over two years. For all funding appropriations, Stanbrough said the city has $1.39 million in the budget. There was no action taken Friday on

any items.

Council to consider rental inspection ordinance

Monday at 5:30 p.m., the council will hold a public hearing and first reading in the regular business meeting for an ordinance to provide for inspections and certificate of occupancy for residential rental units. If approved the ordinance will require landlords to get an inspection from the city building department or cityapproved inspectors to get a certificate of occupancy before a new tenant can move in. It also requires payment for inspections beyond the first failed inspections. Speakers are limited to five minutes in the public hearing. In addition to items unresolved from the last scheduled meeting that was canceled due to lack of a quorum are a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute an agreement with Alabama B.A.S.S. Nation for an amount not to exceed $3,000 and three hotel rooms for a fishing tournament in February. They will also consider a request to waive the requirement to purchase business licenses for those vendors taking part in Oktoberfest.

Outlook The

Area to see little, if any Florence impact By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

Hurricane Florence made landfall Friday morning in the Carolinas as a Category 1 storm. Florence came ashore a weaker system than what earlier forecasts believed would be the case. While the storm currently plays havoc from the Outer Banks of North Carolina to Charleston, South Carolina, and earlier forecasts showed a potential

for the hurricane to make its way into Alabama, Florence is not expected to be a major issue Tallapoosa County will have to deal with. “In Central Alabama, we will see little to no impact from Florence,” meteorologist Gary Goggins with the National Weather Service office in Birmingham said. “It will begin curving quickly, first turning towards the northwest, then bending back to the northeast and impacting the

northeastern states.” The biggest “impact” Florence has had so far in the county has been in terms of evacuees. While Atlanta Motor Speedway and Talladega Superspeedway have opened their campgrounds to those escaping the hurricane, Wind Creek State Park officials reported Friday six reservations have been made for people from North Carolina and South Carolina. While Florence should stay well east

BRHS students exposed to new career opportunities By DUSTIN DUNCAN Staff Writer

Benjamin Russell High School students got a taste of what career they could have if pursuing a career in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). BRHS Engineering teacher Anthony Hart took about 100 students to Montgomery last Friday to attend the Red Tails Over Montgomery Air Show. He was joined by fellow engineering teacher Ed Allen, Future Farmers of America instructor Josh Williams and Christie Broom, a STEM teacher at Alexander City Middle School, who took 12 students to the show. “It was an excellent opportunity for the kids to get a chance to see those kinds of things,” Hart said “in order to see what kind of jobs are available and what kind of people are needed.” Hart said there were probably 50 to 60 schools throughout Alabama in attendance, and the BRHS students had a chance to speak a few alumni in the U.S. Air Force who work on planes every day. With the F-35 Fighter Jet Program coming to the state, Hart said it was an excellent opportunity to expose students to STEM-related jobs. While the jobs involved with the jet program are through the military, Hart said the experience of showing the students there are more careers out there than just sitting behind a desk is invaluable. The jet program uses Montgomery as the home base for the U.S. Air Force’s F-35 fighter jets, also preserving about 1,000 military jobs. “Somehow, we want to get the parents to encourage the students to go into STEM-related careers,” Hart said. “A lot of these careers, they don’t need to attend a four-year university.” He said there are more jobs available than there are people in the state and the education can be completed at schools like Central Alabama Community College. BHRS Navy JROTC instructor Petty Officer Ron Rowe also took his kids to the show with a similar goal. JROTC Commander Ben Smith also attended the airshow. Rowe said the JROTC program can’t recruit students into the military, but can show them what they could do if they choose to enlist. “We wanted to show them the

different types of jobs that are similar to the civilian world,” Rowe said. “To expose them to different branches (of the military) and let them see firsthand about how to get it.” He said it was a boost for most students. He also encouraged students to go to college, but attending higher education comes in more than one way. “We have to have people who are capable and ready to join the workforce whether you go to college for four years or a technical school,”

Rowe said. “You don’t always have to go to a four-year school because on the technical side, that is where the jobs are.” Hart also teaches robotics at Benjamin Russell. He said it is another example something students may not have thought about as a career to pique their interest.

We receive many calls and visits at the Extension Office from people who have land and do not know what to do with it. “What can I grow?” is a very common question, and “It depends” is the most common answer. It depends on how much time you will have to work on the land, water availability, slope of land, location, available equipment, market, etc. Extension conducts many meetings every year discussing production practices for many different areas of agriculture including horticulture, forages and livestock, agronomy, pond

While Hurricane Florence continues to lash the Carolina coast, efforts to provide relief in the aftermath of the storm are already beginning to take shape in Tallapoosa County. The Alexander City Area Ministerial Association has started collecting supplies to be sent into the hardesthit areas, while the Lake Martin Area United Way is taking monetary donations for relief efforts. “We have done this in previous years,” association vice president Pastor Rick Levell of Marshall Street Church of God said. “We are just trying to be proactive and help folks. Back after the tornadoes in 2011, everyone was coming to help us, so I tell people we need to help others back.” Currently, the ministerial association is collecting non-perishable food items, pallets of bottled water, diapers, formula, bar soap and other necessities, according to Levell. Clothing and other such items are not being taken, but any kind of nonperishable food and water will be accepted. One suggestion Levell had for his congregation, as well as those in the community wanting to donate, was to simply add $10 onto the regular grocery budget and get whatever $10 will purchase. Levell said the current plan is to collect everything by Friday, Sept. 21, at which time the ministerial association will rent a truck, load all the collected items up and transport them to where they are needed. However, this plan is completely contingent on the storm and when it moves along. “We could go longer on our collection time. It’s all dependent on the storm,” Levell said. “We appreciate whatever anyone can give.” For those who may not be able to obtain food and water, Levell said the church would also accept monetary donations for gathering supplies, renting and fueling the truck transporting the donations. Before dropping off supplies or money, Levell asked the public to call the church first at 256-234-3180, then try Levell at 256-750-1899 and make sure someone is at the church to receive donations. Lake Martin Area United Way Executive Director Sharon Fuller said the United Way Worldwide has changed how those in need can get information, while the local organization has started taking in financial assistance to be spread out among the affected area as needed. “Those in need can text ‘FLORENCE’ to 898-211 to receive detailed, state-specific information,” she said. “At the moment, we are only taking monetary donations. People can go online to UnitedWay.org/Florence to donate, or they can stop by our office and give.” Along with these two groups, the Central Alabama Electric Cooperative, which services portions of Tallapoosa County, has sent 16 linemen to North Carolina to assist the Carteret-Craven Electric Cooperative with repairing any potential power outages in the area around Havelock, North Carolina. With recovery efforts yet to fully get underway, knowing these supplies and funds will be ready to go when they are needed is a refreshing sight. “I want to go ahead and thank everyone in advance for being supportive and giving. Everyone in the community is always good about giving,” Levell said.

HEARTBREAKING INJURY HBS setter Karsen Kinman suffers season-ending ACL tear By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

ver the summer, Horseshoe Bend volleyball coach Julie Turner decided she wanted to change some things up and move her now-more experienced team to a 6-2 rotation. That meant the Generals would utilize two setters, despite having an obvious talent in rising sophomore Karsen Kinman. But it’s a good thing Turner started working her Generals in a two-setter rotation. Kinman suffered a knee injury early in the season, and last week, she found out she tore her ACL and would be out for the remainder of the season. “For some reason this summer, I had a vision that we had to play two setters,” Turner said. “This is why I had the vision because God knew what the plan was.” Kinman was an essential part of Horseshoe Bend’s success last year despite being just a freshman. She did well distributing the ball to her hitters and also showed off a lot of scrappiness that held the team together defensively. That scrappiness was actually her downfall though. Against Elmore County in the opening week of the season, Kinman was tracking down a ball into the bleachers. “It was a close game, and she went diving for a ball,” Turner said. “She hit on the bleachers and

slid into it with her knee pad. She got up and was kind of wobbling, but she said she was fine.” Kinman didn’t let that stop her, as on the very next play, she once again went flying for a ball, this time toward the home sidelines. “I was going for a ball over here where they were sitting on the sidelines, and whenever I stepped, my knee turned in but my foot stayed straight,” Kinman said. “I felt it pop out. I was really just scared. It didn’t hurt in the moment; it was just tingling a little bit. But I was just scared because I didn’t know what was going on.” Kinman had surgery Friday and will undergo about six months of rehabilitation, according to Turner. Horseshoe Bend is hopeful trainer Marty McCann can help with Kinman’s physical therapy and rehab. “Marty is going to do her therapy for her as much as he can after she’s released from her doctors to do rehab,” Turner said. “We’re blessed that we have him so he can help her get back a little quicker.” As for the team, sophomore Kate Lewis has taken over the main setting duties, while freshman Kennedy Singleton has been brought up from the JV team to also set some. Although both are young, Lewis has a full year of varsity under her belt and has already proven she’s ready to fill Kinman’s big shoes. “After Karsen’s injury, I put Kate in and Kate See KINMAN • Page 12

Sports pranking is fun when done the right way

ne of the best things about sports is great rivalries — those games fans mark on their calendars before the season even starts and those contests that always seem close, no matter how good or bad the teams are that year. LIZI Rivalry games always ARBOGAST seem to bring out the best crowds and fans are Sports Editor typically more creative when it comes to making interesting signs to cheer on their teams. There’s also a tendency for pranks to come out of the woodwork. Back home in Pennsylvania, there were two teams who played every year for the Little Brown Jug. Our local team, Shippensburg, had a rock outside the school it would paint for holidays, special occasions, in memory of someone, etc. But every year, the Big Spring Bulldogs would come over in the dead of night and paint the rock with some sort of saying, cheering on the Bulldogs. Those kind of pranks are all in good fun. When the city of Las Vegas changed its historic sign to feature all lowercase letters ahead of the Knights’ series with the Washington Capitals, that was an example of a witty prank not meant to hurt anyone. What’s not OK is when teams or fans of opposing sides of rivalries take things too far. Last week, The Wetumpka Herald reported about a spike in vandalism during the week prior to the Wetumpka Indians’ homecoming game. According to Wetumpka Police Department assistant chief Ed Reeves, the vandalisms were actually connected to a rivalry between the school’s junior and senior classes, and he said paintball guns had been used to vandalize cars and houses in the area. That’s extreme on a couple different levels, mostly because it wasn’t even caused by an opponent. But either way, that’s taking sports and the competitive spirit to a level it never should reach. The same goes for celebrations after your team wins the Super Bowl, or any other big game. I understand being excited; I even understand wanting to have a party or set off fireworks or something a bit tamer. But the idea of rioting through the streets of a city that just won the National Championship seems crazy. I’m not saying don’t love your team or don’t show them support, but there are ways to do it that are funny and creative without being destructive, over the top or taking things too far. Take a look at TCU’s rivalry with Ohio State coming up this week. The Horned Frogs are still bitter about being pushed out of the very first College Football Playoffs in favor See ARBOGAST • Page 12

Lakewinds Golf Course will play host to the third annual Benjamin Russell FFA Chapter golf tournament Sept. 28.

Benjamin Russell FFA holding annual golf tournament fundraiser By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The FFA chapter at Benjamin Russell High School will be holding its third annual golf tournament fundraiser Friday, Sept. 28 at Lakewinds. “This helps us pay for our students to go to the various competitions we take part in each year,” BRHS FFA Adviser Josh Williams said. The primary annual fundraiser since the chapter was reestablished, Williams said things have been picking up for the tournament since its first iteration. So far this year, 12 teams have signed up to take part, but there is still plenty of time

for interested teams to be involved in the fundraiser. “It’s been a pretty good fundraiser for us,” Williams said. “It takes between $10,000 and $11,000 to run the chapter each year. Last year, we raised right around $4,000. Much of the rest of the money comes through donations and our barbecue plate sale fundraiser in the spring. It helps set what we can and can’t do for the year.” The cost to participate in the tournament is $150 for a team of two golfers. Teams can also purchase “tee blasters,” allowing golfers one tee-off from the closest location to the pin and mulligans for $5 each. The first place

Sponsorships cost $75 for one hold, $135 for two or $200 for three holes.

On his second dove hunt at Gulf Farms, Jack Guarino used a .410 shotgun instead of a BB gun while hunting with his dad, Eric, and sister, Molly.

Opening-day dove hunt focuses on youth By DAVID RAINER Department of Conservation and Natural Resources

Sweat trickled into my eyes as a mourning dove turned and came straight at me. Hidden in the sunflower stalks, I was undetected until it was too late. A shot at the approaching dove dropped it between rows. A short time later, another dove flew even closer. Two shots later and the dove continued flying unscathed. I’ll blame it on the sweat. As usual, the opening day of dove season in the North Zone was an exercise in trying to find shade as the onset of fall temperatures is likely still a few weeks away. But that didn’t deter the participants at the annual dove hunt at Gulf Farms near Orrville in Dallas County. Hosts Mike Eubanks and Lamar Harrison make a point to emphasize dove hunting is an ideal method to introduce youngsters and inexperienced hunters to the outdoors. During the pre-hunt safety briefing and discussion, Eubanks celebrated a record turnout of young people at the hunt. “We had 38 hunters age 15 and under,” Eubanks said. “That’s fantastic. That’s the most we’ve ever had. What we’re trying to do is get these younger people involved in the outdoors. And we appreciate these dads and moms who bring their kids with them to hunt. We stress safety before we head to the dove fields.” Gulf Farms goes to a great deal of effort to provide topquality fields for the hunters,

During this year’s hunt at Gulf Farms, 14-year-old Jack Guarino helped his dad bag enough doves to feed the family.

planting a combination of corn, soybeans, grain sorghum, sunflowers and wheat. “We can’t control how many doves we have,” Eubanks said. “But we do everything by the guidelines to provide everything we think a dove might need from food to water to places to roost. We had a decent number of doves this year. It was better than last year, but it wasn’t the best hunt we’ve had at Gulf Farms. But those kids got to shoot a lot, and their enjoyment of being outdoors is what we like to see.” Eric Guarino and his 14-year-old son, Jack, have been fixtures at the Gulf Farms hunt during the last decade. Last weekend’s hunt made the seventh hunt for the father-son team in the last eight years. “I think Jack was probably 6 when we started coming,” Eric said. “My daughter even

came one year. I just wanted to get them outside and get them involved in something that I always enjoyed doing.” Eric’s outdoors adventures started out with a fishing rod in his hands. It was a few years before it was replaced with a firearm. “When my dad opened his own business, my mom was working there,” he said. “Five days a week when we weren’t in school, my mom would put me out at Fisherman’s Wharf on Dog River. She would come pick me up at five o’clock when she got off work. I fished all day, every day. I caught more redfish and flounder out of Dog River than anybody else.” Guarino was in high school when he went deer hunting for the first time with friends. Then one of his friends was dating a girl whose dad was a member

of a dove club in Baldwin County, which led to his introduction to dove hunting. “Then I really got into duck hunting,” he said “I was fanatical about it for a very long time. I still am, but it is suppressed by kids, career and other obligations. I don’t have time to go scout for ducks anymore.” Despite the other outdoors endeavors, the Guarinos try to make it to Gulf Farms for the September opening-day hunt. Eric said the atmosphere at the Gulf Farms hunt is what makes them come back year after year. “This is a good bunch of folks, good fellowship, good eats in a safe, clean environment,” he said. “It’s just a good time being around a lot of good folks. “Jack is really into camping and hiking and backpacking, so, we do that together. We don’t do a whole lot of hunting, but when this dove hunt came up, he said, ‘We have got to go to that.’ He wouldn’t miss this for the world.” Jack said he remembers his first Gulf Farms hunt like it was yesterday. “When I was 6, I was happy to be here,” Jack said. “I had my little BB gun. My dad would shoot one, and I’d go over with my BB gun and say, ‘I got it.’ “It’s been fun. I’ve been coming half of my life. I get to shoot guns all day, which is a fun thing to do. A couple of my friends go deer hunting but not many dove hunt. I love dove hunting. It’s special because we come here every year. It’s just a good time.”

most major streaming devices and can even be watched over Android and iOS devices or on a computer’s web browser.

If you want to watch the SEC Network, PlayStation Vue offers the channel in some markets. Check your local availability and then try out this fully-featured streaming service with a free trial.

How to watch the NFL online without cable

All of the major networks which air NFL football games — CBS, FOX, NBC, and ESPN — are available in most markets on the streaming services mentioned above, with the exception of CBS being unavailable on Sling TV. In addition, many of these services offer NFL channels like NFL Network and NFL RedZone, making them a great option for catching all of the pro action this season. If you want to stream Alabama, Auburn or NFL football this season and don’t want to pay for cable, luckily you have a lot of options. Give one of these streaming services a shot with a free trial and don’t miss a single game this year. Brantner is the founder of StreamingObserver.com.

played a heckuva game against Benjamin Russell,” Turner said. “That was probably the best I’ve seen her play ever. She stepped up. The whole team played well, but she did a really good job that night.” While Singleton hasn’t played as much, she’ll continue to be worked into the rotation to get some experience. “Now I’m really just trying to help out Kate and Kennedy as much as I can,” Kinman said. “I try to cheer everyone on and keep them up as much as I can during the games. I think Kate has been doing great. The only thing is picking between the different hitters because sometimes (other teams) start expecting it, but that’s literally the only thing. Besides that, she’s doing really good.” Despite the injury, Kinman is committed to still being a part of the team and coming to every match in a show of support.

of the Buckeyes. The rivalry between the two teams dates back even further when Ohio State then-president Gordon Gee compared TCU’s competition with the “Little Sisters of the Poor,” (which, by the way, went too far). From there, the Frogs starting buying billboards around Columbus, Ohio, and the Buckeyes’ campus that had the message: “CONGRATULATIONS TO TCU For their BCS Rose Bowl Victory — Little Sisters of the Poor.” That is the perfect example of classy rivalry treatment. It’s witty and interesting; it’s different and unusual; and it still takes a nice jab. There’s no reason to take it so far property damage is involved or police need to be called. Have a good night, cheer on your team, even poke fun at your rivals, but don’t be unreasonable about a sports game. Lizi Arbogast is the sports editor of The Outlook.

Late field goal gives Wetumpka first win over Opelika By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Late in the fourth quarter at Hohenberg Field on Friday night, Wetumpka looked at the scoreboard and saw a deficit which had haunted the team for the last two seasons. The hosts wrote a new ending to the story, though. With 2:29 to go in the game, junior Zach Grindle connected on a 28-yard field goal to erase Opelika’s one-point lead and gave No. 1 Wetumpka the 30-28 victory. “I was thinking, ‘This is just like last year,’” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “I just thought, ‘Not again. We can’t lose a one-point game three years in a row.’”

Trailing by a single point, Wetumpka (4-0, 2-0 Class 6A Region 3) drove 71 yards as it looked to take the lead. A third-down reception by Malik Davis and a 19-yard run by Terrance Thomas set Wetumpka up with a first and goal from the 1-yard line. Opelika stood strong, stopping three rushing attempts short of the goal line. With Perry and his staff preparing to go for the end zone on fourth down, a false start penalty took that decision out of their hands. Grindle took the field and lined up for a 23-yard field goal attempt. However, another false start was called and the kick was moved back again. The junior said he liked the angle better anyway and it showed when his kick split the uprights to give Wetumpka the lead. “I just had to keep my head down and do it for my See INDIANS • Page 3

team,” Grindle said. “The sideline was ecstatic. We’ve lost by one kick for two consecutive years and it felt great to break that.” Opelika (1-3, 1-1) still had one more chance for the win. The Bulldogs started at midfield after a good kick return. Two defensive pass interference calls helped move Opelika inside Wetumpka’s 20-yard line. After a 2-yard loss, Opelika elected to let the clock run down to three seconds to attempt a 38-yard field goal for the win. The suspense went away quickly as the kick was well short and hooked to the right. It was Wetumpka’s first win in school history over Opelika. The Bulldogs had won all four in the series, including the last two by one point in region victories. Opelika appeared to be on its way to pulling off the upset with a quick start to the game. Quarterback Matthew Blackmon hit Marien Warner for a 74-yard touchdown pass on the team’s first possession of the game. Blackmon connected with Jamius Mitchell for another touchdown pass in the final minute of the first half to give Opelika a 22-13 lead at halftime. The second half did not start any better for Wetumpka, after two false start penalties forced the offense into a 3rd and 19. Tyquan Rawls found Malik Davis deep on the right sideline for a 54-yard gain. Wetumpka and its crowd had arrived. Four plays later, Rawls threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to EJ Rogers. It was the second touchdown of the night for Rogers, who finished with three receptions for 44 yards. Opelika still led by two points but it was the defense’s turn to make a stand. On the first play of the drive, Trey Jones stepped in front of Blackmon’s pass for the first takeaway of the night and got back to the sideline to grab ahold of the team’s turnover belt. “I saw no one else was in the area so I came off of my receiver and I just made a play on the ball,” Jones said. “It felt great, it was just exciting.” Three plays later, Rawls ran in for a

Strong second half propels BRHS to comeback victory By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Benjamin Russell Wildcats proved they could overcome adversity and rebound from a tough 19-0 loss against Stanhope Elmore and the loss of assistant coach Curtis Glaize when a couple of strong second half plays propelled the Wildcats to a 25-20 comeback victory over the Selma Saints on Friday night. Despite the win, BRHS coach Kevin Smith felt his team still has hurdles to overcome and a long way to go to be successful. “We just tried to take every day and try to build another staircase. Tonight, I don’t think we built any

kind of staircase, especially offensively,” Smith said. “They came in here tonight and gave us everything we wanted. I feel like we’ve got a long way to go.” Selma coach Christopher Raymond said, “I knew it was gonna be a dogfight up here tonight. We shot ourselves in the foot in the second half. We made a lot of mistakes, and you can’t beat a good team like Benjamin Russell doing that.” Early on, the game was a defensive dogfight, with the Wildcats (3-1, 1-1 Class 6A Region 3) going three and out on their first possession, while Selma’s first drive had several issues keeping the Saints from gaining any traction either. Selma was called for running on a fair catch and was then backed up further after

a false start penalty. On third and 9 from the Selma 4, quarterback Tyreshion Freeman was picked off by Gavin Edwards, giving Benjamin Russell the ball at the Saints’ 30-yard line. The Wildcats took advantage of the turnover, moving the ball down to the Selma 4-yard line before stalling and kicking the first of three first half field goals to take a 3-0 lead. However, Selma (1-2, 0-2 Class 6A Region 3) answered right back, torching Benjamin Russell for a 93-yard passing touchdown on third and 24.

a punt return gave the ball back to the Wildcats at the Selma 35. The drive immediately stalled, however, and the Wildcats had to punt again. After another strong defensive stand, aided by two delay of game penalties and an intentional grounding on the Saints, Benjamin Russell tied the game at 6-6 early in the second frame with another field goal. The Wildcat defense then stood strong and forced the Saints to punt, but the subsequent Benjamin Russell offensive drive ended at the Selma 37 when the Saints defense picked off Landon Cotney. Selma then drove 95 yards to take the lead back once again and, with a successful 2-point conversion, held a 14-6 advantage. The Wildcats seized some momentum back as the half wound down, driving to the Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 17, yet had to settle for a field goal, cutting the deficit to five points before halftime. After the break, Benjamin Russell came out showing an intensity that had been fairly lacking during the first half. The Wildcat defense held on during the Saints first drive of the third quarter, forcing an incomplete pass on fourth and 11 to gain the ball back. However, the Wildcat offense had the exact same issue on their next drive, coming up 1 yard short on a fourth and 4 run at the Selma 28. Benjamin Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense forced a three and out, and a good return set the Wildcats up at the Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 35-yard line. One play was all it took for Benjamin Russell to find the end zone for the first time all night when Cotney found Za Stowes wide open for the touchdown. With a successful extra point to give the Wildcats a 16-14 lead, Benjamin Russell appeared to be back in the driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat. The scene was immediately repeated as Selma went three and out, and on the first Wildcat play from the Saintsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; 49, Cotney again found Stowes open for a touchdown and a 23-14 lead. Following a block in the back call on Selma during the ensuing kickoff, the Wildcats gained a little insurance

when a low snap rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety and a 25-14 Benjamin Russell lead. Another promising Wildcat drive ended with less than a minute left in the third quarter when Cotney called his own number but fumbled the ball away. The Benjamin Russell defense again flexed its muscle, forcing Selma to punt and, after the Wildcats were forced into a three and out, recovered a Saints fumble on the first play of the Selma drive. Selma finally found its groove again halfway through the final quarter, grinding out a nearly 4-minute drive that resulted in a touchdown. The two-point conversion was stopped inches shy of the goal line, setting the final score of 25-20. However, the final four minutes of the

game were not without their moments of suspense, when Benjamin Russell was forced to punt, but with a penalty called against Selma, the Wildcats got the ball right back, 28 yards from the goal line. However, Benjamin Russell came up short once again on a fourth-down rush, handing the ball back to the Saints with just 40 seconds to go. Edwards came up big for the Wildcat defense once again when, on a fourth and 2, he picked off Freeman for the second time, giving the Wildcats the ball back with a mere 13 ticks left on the clock. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a team, we could have played a whole lot better tonight,â&#x20AC;?

Stanhope Elmore’s Tray Duncan (24) rushes for the first touchdown of the game against Calera on Friday night.

Mustangs stampede past wounded Eagles By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For Tallapoosa Publishers

With the exception of two plays, Stanhope Elmore had its way with the visiting Calera, Eagles using a trio of passing touchdowns and a punishing ground game to secure the 35-12 victory. “This was a good win for us,” Mustang coach Brian Bradford said. “The kids played their hearts out. We were a little sloppy at times. But Calera is a very good team; their record (0-4) doesn’t show it. We left a couple of points on the board, but I thought we played pretty well.” After forcing Calera to punt on its first possession, The Mustangs (3-1) went to work at their own 40. Tray Duncan broke free on a 20-yard scamper up the middle. Eagles safety Trenton Yowe made the touchdown-saving tackle. But Yowe delayed the inevitable as Duncan took the handoff up the gut for the five-yard, go-ahead

“The kids played their hearts out. We were a little sloppy at times ... but I thought we played pretty well.” — Brian Bradford Stanhope Elmore coach touchdown with 2:50 to go in the opening half. Bradford said he could feel control shift in the Mustangs’ favor early in the game. While the offense drew cheers from the crowd,

it was ultimately the play of the defense that removed any amount of doubt as to its ability to shut down the visiting Eagles. The Stanhope Elmore defense — aided by Calera’s inexperienced junior quarterback Edwin Karanja (14-23-1 with two touchdowns) filling in for the concussed Cornelius Brown — kept the Eagles offense pinned back most of the night. “I think we played a good game, we had a few busted assignments, but overall we came out and did our job,” William Whitlow said. “Coach (Hunter) Adams (Mustangs Defensive Coordinator) had been telling us all week ‘set the tone. Set the tone.’ That if we did that, they’ll be ready to tap out.” Whitlow made sure he made his presence known. With a host of maroon helmets, Whitlow bull rushed Calera punter Zachary Ford and blocked the kick. See STANHOPE • Page 8

Stanhope “That was a lot of fun,” Whitlow said. “I did not know I hit the ball until I looked down and saw it rolling. Then I scooped it up and scored and went and celebrated with my teammates.” The touchdown was Whitlow’s first of his career and gave the Mustangs a 14-0 lead at the end of the first. Despite the block, Ford proved to be the Eagles best offensive weapon. The senior managed to keep the ball in the air and keep pinning the Mustangs offense back, despite dodging blockers coming in from all direction on most of his kicks. “He can flip the field for us when he has time to get it off,” Calera skipper Andrew Zow said. “We’re still working on being able to get the ball back there to him. But he is a weapon and can do a lot of things with the ball. If we can get him in field goal range, he’s deadly from 45 (yards out). We’ve just got to do a better job of getting him there.” Stanhope quarterback Kerenski McGhee, who threw a trio of touchdown passes on a 12-14-1 night, kept the Eagles on their heels on the next Mustangs’ scoring drive. “(McGhee) is a first-year quarterback so he’s starting to understand

a little bit more,” Bradford said. “Every week he gets better and he’s

fast as all get out. So that doesn’t hurt either. But that last touchdown pass he threw…wow. That was a bigleague throw.” The 5-foot-7 senior completed passes to Ali McMillan (a gain of 12 followed by a gain of 29) before connecting with Connor Bradford from 11 yards out for the touchdown. McMillan finished the night with a total of 86 receiving yards. Bradford had four catches for 69 yards. “He’s got good genetics,” coach Bradford said of his son Connor. “It’s a lot of fun to watch him.” With the point after, the lead swelled to 21-0. After several penalties, the Eagles took over at the 13 and Karanja took advantage of the proximity to pay dirt, completing a first-down pass to Dallas Toles for the touchdown. The kick was swarmed and blocked. Stanhope Elmore carried a 21-6 lead

into the intermission. “I’m extremely proud of the way we played,” Zow said. “The guys were here busting their tales every day. We’ve got some guys out and guys banged up. We are very young in spots and inexperienced. We fought hard. But the mental mistakes were tough. I’ve got to a whole lot better job of getting them prepared. Coach Bradford has done a great job of getting those guys right and changing the culture and that’s something we are trying to do.” Late in the third quarter, McGhee connected with Teddy Harris for the 18-yard touchdown pass moving the mark to 28-6 Mustangs. But the Eagles kept fighting, as Karanja completed a 49-yard touchdown pass to William Ray. “I told (Karanja) to don’t quit, keep fighting. Get back there and turn it loose,” Zow said. “His thing is that sometimes he just doesn’t want to make a mistake. But sometimes you’re back there and you’ve just got to let it fly. He’s a junior, but he hasn’t had much playing time so he’s still young, in terms of playing. We’ve just got to get him more reps. And we will.” The two-point attempt was stuffed cutting into the Mustangs 28-12 lead. Calera threatened again, but an interception by Stanhope’s Jaqori Williams stopped the threat. “(An earlier play) wasn’t my fault, but I will take it as my responsibility,” said Williams. “My teammates hyped me up on the sidelines. Unfortunately, I got ran down. But it felt great. It was my first pick.”

All facets contribute to Reeltown’s big win By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

In a 41-0 football game, it’s expected the winning offense had a big night. There must’ve been one person who had a ton of touchdowns or a group of two or three with big yardage. But that wasn’t the case for Reeltown on Friday night, as it scored in almost every possible way and needed its offense to find the end zone only three times in a Class 2A Region 4 downing of Horseshoe Bend. Possibly the most stunning statistic out of Reeltown’s victory was the fact it had three touchdowns and only three offensive plays in the first quarter. After allowing one first down, the Rebels

defense shored up and forced the Generals (0-4, 0-2) to punt. Eric Shaw grabbed the punt and took it down the left sideline for an 80-yard touchdown return. Once again forcing Horseshoe Bend to go three and out, Reeltown (4-0, 2-0) made easy work of its first offensive possession with a 60-yard touchdown rush from Keke Hughley. Then it became like a broken record. The Generals had three plays, elected to punt and Shaw took it back 85 yards for another score. Reeltown gained 18 points on just one offensive play. “I just saw when the ball bounced on the punt, everybody was kinda back,” Shaw said. “They weren’t really rushing toward me, so I thought I See REELTOWN • Page 10

might as well just take it and see what I can get with it. In the end, I came out in the end zone. Coach always talks about getting out early so we won’t have to fight back in it. We pushed the lead out early and got a chance to get our younger guys in there too.” Reeltown tacked on a defensive touchdown before the end of the first half. Chandler Gray blocked a punt then picked it up and ran it back 19 yards for a score. “They had some good returners,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett said. “They had some studs back there and we didn’t seem to want to tackle them. We had (Shaw) hemmed up and somehow he got out of there twice. On the punt block, it was just a missed block. That’s all that was.” Reeltown’s offense finally got on the board again on the second play of the third quarter. After losing 7 yards on a quarterback sack, Khoner Davis made up for it by finding Trey O’Neal on the sideline. O’Neal broke a tackle then darted past Horseshoe Bend’s defense for a 63-yard score. The Rebels added another defensive score, as Lio Lewis forced a General fumble in the end zone and Gray fell on it for the safety. During an eight-minute fourth quarter, Johnny Brown got in on the action for Reeltown with a 52-yard rushing touchdown to end the game. “The majority of any mistakes we made tonight were just lackadaisical mental errors, which was very frustrating,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “I was pleased with how hard we played, and it’s great to be in this position. Hats off to Horseshoe Bend. I said we’d get their best and they traded punches with us there for awhile.” Horseshoe Bend’s best attempt came nearing the end of the third quarter, as the Generals started to find a way to march downfield. But once they entered the red zone, the Rebels smacked back-to-back tackles for a

loss to end that threat. Reeltown’s defense once again had a fantastic game. Lewis finished with 11 tackles and 4.5 sacks; Nelson Whaley had eight tackles, including a sack and two for a loss; and Jordan Whitlow contributed nine tackles. “It was just all the practice we did this week,” Whaley said. “That’s all

we worked on was the pass rush.” Horseshoe Bend also had some defensive standouts of its own. Jumall Buchanan and Logan Branch each had a sack, and the Generals had several tackles for a loss. Despite the big deficit for the second week in a row, Averett is trying to take some positives out of Friday night’s game.

“The defense really only gave up one touchdown until that last play,” Averett said. “The defense played their tails off.

Quinton Jeter drilled a 27-yard field goal with 52 seconds remaining to lift ninthranked Tallassee over fourth-ranked Carroll 24-21 Friday night at Matthews Stadium. The kick capped a Tallassee comeback that saw the Tigers rally from a 21-7 deficit in the third quarter. It also snapped Carroll’s 25-game regular-season winning streak — which had been the third-longest active streak in the state. After Jeter’s field goal, Carroll had excellent position when it recovered a squib kick at its own 49. But Eagles quarterback Trey Buchanan was intercepted on a deep pass down the left sideline by Tallassee safety Kalvin Levett, who was one of the game’s heroes at quarterback. In fact, it was Levett’s twisting, tacklebreaking, speedy 74-yard touchdown run that tied the game 21-all with 10:47 left in the fourth quarter. Carroll shook off an early lightning bolt from Tallassee and countered with its stopus-if-you-can ground game. Tallassee (3-1, 1-1 Class 5A Region 2) issued a challenge on the first play from scrimmage. Markevious Mathews took a toss sweep around left end and raced 47 yards to the Carroll 17. An apparent touchdown run by Levett was negated by a holding penalty. Tallassee converted on third-and-24 from the Carroll 32 on a Levett-toMathews completion down the seam. The Tigers finished the drive on Mathews’ 3-yard run that put the visitors up 7-0 following Jeter’s extra point. Carroll (2-1, 0-1) answered in the final minute of the first quarter. The Eagles didn’t do anything fancy. Jonathan Fells shook off a tackle and escaped for a 30-yard gain to the Tallassee 16. Three plays later, Fells ran toward left end, but saw a cutback lane and burst upfield on a 5-yard touchdown run. Charles Irving’s extra point tied the game, 7-all, with 28 seconds left in the first.

The Eagles, playing their home opener, took their first lead on a 10-play, 84-yard drive that took four and a half minutes off the clock. Fells carried six times on a hot, humid night. The key play, however, came when senior quarterback Trey Buchanan made a huge play on a bobbled snap. Buchanan secured the ball and tried to bootleg to the right side. Three Tallassee defenders were in his face, so Buchanan reversed his field and turned the left corner. He gained 40 yards on the scramble and gave the Eagles a first down on the Tallassee’s 39-yard line. Fullback D.Q. Fryer then hit a quick trap for 16 yards to the 23. Five consecutive Fells carries got the ball to the 5. Tori Mulkey subbed for Fells and finished the drive two plays later with a 4-yard touchdown run with 6:30 left in the first half. Carroll had another key scoring opportunity after Will Parsons intercepted an overthrown pass by Levett for Matthews. Parsons also had help from teammate Brandon Robinson, who was injured on the play. Parsons returned the pick nearly 50 yards to the Tallassee 16 with 4:12 left in the half. However, the Eagles couldn’t punch it in and Buchanan’s play-action pass for Fryer was low and fell incomplete, leaving Carroll up seven points at halftime. The ground attack continued for the Eagles. With Tallassee deployed to stop the powerful Fells, his backup, Mulkey, burst through the line, broke a couple tackles on his way to the right sideline and raced 67 yards for a touchdown. The PAT made it 21-7 with 5:35 left in the third quarter. Tallassee didn’t go away. The Tigers answered with a 51-yard drive in seven plays. Mathews cutback through a big hole on the left side and scored on a 17-yard run. That cut Carroll’s lead to 21-14 at 2:08 of the third. That set up Levett’s scintillating touchdown run and the final drive to Tallassee’s winning field goal. On that final march, Levett hit Mathews on a 28-yard strike on third-and-9 from the Tallassee 38.

Bullock County 22, Dadeville 17

Dadeville falls to Bullock County, 22-17 By DUSTIN DUNCAN Staff Writer

Bullock County can call itself a winner in Class 3A Region 3 football with a 22-17 victory over Dadeville Friday night. In a penalty-filled, down-to-the-wire game, the Hornets bent but did not break when it counted. Down 22-17 with 3:47 to play at its own 10-yard line, the stage was set for Dadeville senior quarterback Slade McCullers to lead his squad down the field for a game-winning touchdown. McCullers almost succeeded, connecting on 4 of 7 passes for 75 yards, moving the ball to the Hornet 15-yard line. The Bullock County defense stiffened and McCullers’ fourth-down pass sailed over the head of 6-foot-9 sophomore wide receiver Randiez Heard with 1:03 left to play. “All week we told our defense to do their jobs and stay in their gaps and good things will happen,” Bullock County coach Willie Spears said. “This is our first region play win since 2009.” After the win, Hornet players dumped ice water on their coach in celebration. Although the Hornets (1-2, 1-0) did fall behind early after a 33-yard field goal by Dadeville senior John Stroud on the Tigers’ (2-2, 1-1) opening drive. Later in the first quarter, Dadeville defensive lineman Max See DADEVILLE • Page 15

McClendon forced Hornet running back Brandon Perry to fumble and senior defensive back Cameron Tai scooped up the football, giving Dadeville an early 9-0 lead. Bullock County didn’t panic with the early deficit. The next drive ended when Cedric Nichols took a handoff 40 yards for a score. The Hornets converted the two-point conversion, bringing the score to 9-8. Nichols was a workhorse for the Hornets Friday with more than 30 carries for at least 150 yards and a touchdown. Spears said he has been a leader for the team all year. “We ask him to give us everything he has on every single play,” Spears said. “Last week he did just that and tonight he did it again. We don’t win without him.” Defense and penalty flags ruled the second quarter until the very end. The Hornets faced a third and 20 from its own 47-yard line when freshman quarterback Robert Williams connected with Perry for a 53-yard touchdown as time expired to take the lead 14-8. At the start of the second half, Dadeville seemed like a new team. The defense produced a quick threeand-out, then defensive back Josh Taylor blocked a Hornet punt to give the Tigers the ball at the 1-yard line. The next play from scrimmage, Tai punched in score on a run. He also scored the two-point conversion to put the Tigers up 17-14. At the end of the third quarter, Dadeville seemed poised to put the game away within the Hornets’ redzone once again. However, a goal line stop by Bullock County on fourth down killed the Tigers’ momentum. The next play for Bullock County, Nichols gave his team some breathing room with a 45-yard rush. That same drive saw Williams hit Bryant for 36 yards to the Tigers’ redzone. Williams then scored on a 1-yard run and converted the ensuring two-point try, bringing the score to 22-17 in Bullock County’s favor. After forcing a three-and-out, the Hornet defense gave the ball back to its offense with about 10 minutes left. The offense didn’t score on that drive, but it took about six minutes off the clock before giving the ball back to McCullers, setting up the defense for its final stand. Dadeville coach Richard White was not happy with his team’s or coaching staff’s performance Friday night. “I’m disappointed at the highest level,” he said. “I’m disappointed in the way we played. I’m disappointed in the way we coached. We were not prepared to play a football game.”

Elmore County lost 47-21 against the Talladega Tigers on Friday night.

Tigers push past Panthers, 47-21 By LAVONTE YOUNG The Daily Home Sports Editor

“We all we got” is a saying frequently heard around the Talladega football program. Friday night, the Tigers’ actions backed up that saying. Quarterback Nigel Scales was limited nearly the entire game with what Talladega officials called cramps in his hamstring, but his teammates rose to the occasion in the Superior Gas, Inc.

Tigers’ 47-21 win over Elmore County. “It’s a win,” Talladega coach Ted Darby said. “We got bombed up again; we got to get healed up. We came out and made some big plays in the second half. That’s a heck of a football team; they weren’t 2-0 for nothing. I just told Coach (Jordan) Cantrell that they are going to win a lot of ball games. I can tell you this, JQ (Wilson) played his behind off. He had a game of a lifetime. “We stepped up. We got complacent right there in the second quarter, and they came back with 14 points. I am going to say it again, we are not playing all three phases. We have to play all three phases. I am ecstatic, I am proud of this football team. We don’t have a lot of players, but they came out in that second half and took the game back over.” Talladega scored 28 unanswered points after Scales limped to the sideline. The Tigers’ salty defense as well as its ground attack stepped up with Scales not at full strength. Talladega scored three rushing touchdowns in the first half. Chaztin Tanner reached the end zone on a 7-yard run to tie the game at 7-all. Larry Calhoun gave Talladega a 14-7 lead as he bulldozed his way through the Panthers defense for a 4-yard touchdown.

Jermontez Cunningham scored on a 4-yard run to make it 28-7 in the second quarter. On defense, Talladega did a good job of stopping Elmore County’s ground attack and contained standout running back DJ Patrick in the first half. Patrick put the Panthers on the board with a 52-yard reception, but the next time they tried going to the air, it wasn’t as successful. At the end of the first quarter, Wilson intercepted a pass and returned it 55 yards for a touchdown to give Talladega 21-7 lead. Elmore County scored a touchdown to pull within 28-14 going into intermission. The Panthers had a chance to make it a one-possession game to start the third, but Talladega made a huge stop on fourth-and-goal at the 7. On the ensuing possession, Scales found Wilson for a 78-yard touchdown to put the game away.

What to know

—Wilson was huge for the Tigers in all three phases of the game. The senior scored three touchdowns. He had receiving touchdowns of 78 and 7 yards. On defense, he picked off two passes, including one he returned for a 55-yard score. Wilson also blocked and recov-

ered a punt at the Elmore County 11, setting up another touchdown. —Calhoun stepped up when his number was called for Talladega. The sophomore running back had touchdowns run of 4 and 43 yards. —Patrick had a rough night against the Talladega defense. His only big run covered 22 yards. The senior running back finished with 70 yards rushing and a touchdown.

Who said it

Wilson on his performance: “I was tired, but the coaches kept telling me that they needed me and (to) keep going. We stepped it up. I couldn’t give up; I just kept playing my heart out. I left it all out on the field.” Elmore County head coach Jordan Cantrell on the loss: “We knew coming in that this was a well-coached, athletic and physical football team. We knew that we would have to take it to them to win, but they took it to us a lot of the game. We didn’t make stops when we needed to, we didn’t attack as hard as we should. Offensively, we had time to score, but we didn’t make the play or I made the wrong call. We got a lot of work to do as a team and coaching staff to build on this in a positive way.”

Bulldogs blast Childersburg in home opener, 35-12 By DAVID D. GOODWIN For Tallapoosa Publishers

Longtime Holtville football fans saw something they’re not used to Friday night: A dominating performance unlike any the Bulldogs have posted in recent memory. With a sophomore quarterback in his first varsity start and a stingy defense that forced three turnovers, Holtville delivered a big victory 35-12 at Boykin Field. “Our fans, I’m thinking, are kind of shocked tonight because we’re on the winning side of the scoreboard,” Bulldog coach Jason Franklin said. “We’re not going to be the same old Holtville anymore. “We’ve been pounding into our guys that they should expect to be on the winning side. They should expect to be a difference maker when the ball comes your way or when you’re called on to make a play.” Sophomore Braxton Buck’s first start under center

“We’re not going to be the same old Holtville anymore.” — Jason Franklin Holtville coach looked shaky at first, as the Tigers intercepted him deep in his own territory. But the early turnover was erased by a penalty. Buck bounced back in a big way, finding Drew Nobles down the home sidelines for a 65-yard comple-

tion. That big first-down would lead to a 5-yard touchdown strike to JaDarius Carter. Holtville’s other Carter brother, JaDerrick, quickly joined the attack, intercepting Childersburg quarterback Austin Douglas to get the ’Dogs set up again at the Tiger 44. Buck then hit Nobles over the middle for a 9-yard touchdown score. After Holtville’s defense stuffed ensuing drive three-and-out, Bulldog senior Tristan Watson blocked the punt. JaDerrick Carter picked up the loose ball to score from the 29-yard line. As time ran down on the first half, JaDerrick Carter posted an offensive touchdown, catching a 19-yard pass from Buck to put Holtville up by four touchdowns. As time expired on the half, JaDarius Carter picked off Douglas’ last-gasp long ball. He returned it 55 yards before being knocked out of bounds to end the half. Things slowed down in the third quarter, as Franklin’s ’Dogs ground down the clock. His defense See HOLTVILLE • Page 18

Holtville choked off one promising Childersburg drive, forcing a fumble Watson recovered. The Tigers got on the board on the final play of the third quarter. Douglas hit senior Kishawn McKinney for a 26-yard touchdown. But the Tigers came up short on the two-point conversion attempt. Holtville answered back, with Buck finding JaDerrick Carter on a screen pass near midfield and Carter took it in for a 51-yard touchdown. Buck finished the game with 191 passing yards and another 28 yards on the ground. “Buck played his butt off,” Franklin said. “I couldn’t be more proud of him. He played tremendous with great poise. He made some good throws, the guys made good catches.” He praised his offensive and defensive front and said the whole team has “bought in” to the idea that change can come in Holtville. JaDerrick Carter led the team rushing with 51 yards on 13 carries. Nobles was Buck’s top target, with 74 yards receiving and one touchdown. Douglas and McKinney connected for one final touchdown, a 47-yarder with under three minutes to play. Childersburg coach Jonathan Beverly said the Tigers were missing some key players to injury. “But that’s no excuse,” Beverly said. “We gave them too many opportunities in the first half and, credit to them, they took advantage of what we gave them.” The Bulldogs improved to 2-1 on the season and 1-1 in Class 4A Region 4.

Edgewood 53, Evangel Christian 6

Wildcats extend winning streak with region victory STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

Edgewood Academy remained undefeated in region play with a 53-6 win over Evangel on Friday night. The Wildcats used a strong defensive performance, allowing just 25 yards of total offense and forcing four turnovers to secure the victory. “We’ve relied on our defense all year long,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “Tonight, they stepped up to the challenge again and gave us a short field on offense all night. They created some turnovers for us and gave us a good opportunity to win tonight.” Edgewood (4-1, 2-0 AISA-AA Region 1) recovered four Evangel fumbles, including two for touchdowns by Hunter Bowdoin and Isaac Gordy. The Wildcats added a safety early in the game to give the team a 5-0 lead in the first quarter and the hosts never looked back. Touchdown runs by Tyler Abernathy, Kaleb Varner and Alex Johnson gave the Wildcats a 26-0 lead before the end of the opening quarter. Both defensive touchdowns came in the second quarter before a short touchdown run by Tanner Potts

pushed the lead to 47-0 at halftime. “I thought our team played well,” Free said. “They executed our game plan we set before the game and in the end, it was a good win for us.” The defense allowed six completions but the visitors had just -1 passing yard. The Lions (0-5, 0-2) averaged 0.8 yards per play during the loss. Edgewood’s offense did not need to be at its best on Friday but the Wildcats spread the wealth in the rushing attack. The offense finished with 0 passing yards but ran the ball 43 times for 272 yards. Blane Guthrie led the team with 68 yards on the ground. KJ Hollenquest had a team-high eight carries and finished with 25 yards to go with his fourth-quarter touchdown. Kolby Potts, the team’s leading rusher for the season, only ran the ball six times for 39 yards. He also had a 30-yard kickoff return. Edgewood will take a two-week break from region play but stays at home for a short week of practice.

give playing time to guys that have not gotten much throughout the year. That could be valuable for us down the road.”

Fayetteville 17, Central Coosa 8

Central Coosa suffers near-miss against Fayetteville STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

For all intents and purposes, Central Coosa could’ve come away with its first win in more than a year Friday night at Fayetteville. The Cougars led 8-0 at the end of the first quarter and had a staggering amount of offense. But some untimely penalties and a lack of being able to finish caused Central Coosa to drop its Class 2A Region 4 game against the Wolves, 17-8. “We had probably six opportunities to score but penalties, penalties, penalties,” Coosa coach Brett Thomas said. “We had several penalties after long runs, holding penalties, then there was one questionable offensive pass interference on about a 40-yard pass.” Donta Daniel scored from inside the red zone for the Cougars’ only score of the night and their first of

the year. Although Daniel was the one to score, it was actually Jashaslin James who had himself a game offensively. He rushed for 208 yards. Jamichael Chambliss finished with 92 rushing yards, and Daniel had 39 rushing yards to go along with 90 yards passing. TD Parker was a standout on both sides of the ball, finishing with 109 rushing yards and a team-leading 12 tackles. Daniel added 11 tackles, and Tahj Robbins followed closely behind with 10. Chambliss and Keoanta Hines split 12 tackles evenly. “Tahj, it was the same thing from the other two games,” Thomas said. “He gets stronger as the game progresses, and he was playing sideline to sideline. He seemed to be in on every tackle in the third and fourth quarters.” Although this was the lowest margin of victory for the Cougars, which

is encouraging, they still felt they let one slip away. “It was a small victory (to be closer), but we should’ve won the game,” Thomas said. “The thing that gets us is fatigue. As the game progresses,

the players slow down. They’re tired. Especially our key players, Donta, Jamichael and even Xavier Moon, they’re playing both ways. As the game progresses, it’s hard for them to cover the entire field.”
