Officials say shooting was preventable

By MITCH SNEED AND CLIFF WILILAMS Staff Writers

Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour could not find where the city had ever had an incident like the Sunday morning shooting at American Legion Home. “Over the history of Dadeville, we have never had five people shot at one time,” Barbour told the Dadeville City Council Tuesday. “This could

The other is far more concerning. “This goes back to several months

City councils in Alexander City, Dadeville and New Site all made the results of last Tuesday’s municipal elections official with the canvass of provisional ballots and approval of the results. In Alexander City, there were a total of seven provisional ballots that were considered by the Tallapoosa County Board of Registrars. Five of those were found to be

The courthouse square project may be in jeopardy after the Dadeville City Council declined to take up a motion for a traffic study, one of the requirements for the grant funds that would fund the large majority of the project.

Municipal elections in Jackson’s Gap seem to always be the talk of the town. And sometimes the state and nation as the election four years ago captured national headlines when a majority of voters cast their ballots for a deceased Janis Canham. “It would not be an election in Jackson’s Gap if there was not at least some unnerving moments,” Mayor Jeff Walker said. This year’s results will not grab as many headlines but will be the talk for while as incumbent Walker was declared the winner in the mayor’s race with exactly 50 percent plus one

for the Auburn game, from the home Dadeville High School football game.� Tarpley wanted to go ahead and get the study done so that the next council can move ahead with revitalization. “I think we need to go ahead and do this,� Tarpley said. “If our new council is going to say we are going to go ahead with downtown revitalization, this is one of the requirements. This is part of the original funding and cost.� Council members were curious if this would be accepted by the state to possibly bring back the red lights that were taken down a month. “If the state would accept it, I think it would be great,� town attorney Robin Reynolds said. “We might end up with two red lights again.� The courthouse revitalization project does appear to have people on edge as to what it will do to traffic around the courthouse. “From what I am hearing, people don’t want the streets to change,� Mayor Joe Smith said. Tarpley tried to explain that nothing had been finalized as what would happen to traffic. “We have not approved any changes to the streets,� Tarpley said. “We have not approved any plan. All we have is an artist’s drawing. Everybody thinks it will be a one-way roundabout, that is just a suggestion. None of those decisions have been made at that point.� Council member Randy Foster asked if there was a second to the traffic study motion. “If we don’t spend the $9,800, we will likely lose $400,000,� Tarpley said. “Without revitalization, we are just going to become another Camp Hill.� The motion failed to get a second and died before

a vote. The project was combined with the county so that they could be done together. The City of Dadeville would be the spearhead but the county would also contribute to the project financially. Funding this study would have been part of the city’s $100,000 match for the grant. The citiy’s portion of the grant would have been about $400,000. Funds for the project were coming from the Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT). The project may not be dead yet, according engineers with CDG who are helping with the project. “It is going to cause the reassessment of the project without the traffic study,� Jeff Harrison with CDG said. “Without it, we cannot go forward with any of the paving and parking changes around the square. We will go to ALDOT and see if they will approve just the changes to the sidewalks, landscaping and new curbs.� Along the lines of not committing to next year’s budget, the council declined to take up a $100 a month pledge to the health department who was seeking it again to satisfy their budget and auditor requests. The council also chose not to allow Dadeville Police Chief David Barbour to hire a new officer for a position that is open in the department. The council heard from city clerk Mike Gardner that Monroe and Associates hopes to have the finalized list for the demolition grant at the next meeting. “They found some on the list that were being repaired,� Gardner said. “And others that were being lived in.� Inspector Michael Richardson informed the council that five property owners had been sent notices by

Certified valid and two were not due to being found to be residents not living within the city limits. There were two provisional ballots in District 2, one in District 5 and two in District 6. The ballots did not change the results. For mayor, Jim Nabors will face incumbent Charles Shaw in a runoff. In District 1, incumbent Bobby Tapley and Steve Crowe will be in a runoff, while Audrey “Buffy� Colvin will face Jacob Meacham in a runoff in District 2. In District 3, Scott Hardy was the unopposed winner, while Eric Brown was declared the winner in District 4. Tommy Spraggins was the unopposed winner in District 5 and Tim Funderburk was the winner

continued from page 1

in District 6. The Dadeville City Council considered just one provisional ballot at Tuesday’s special called meeting after it was certified by the Tallapoosa County Board of Registrars. That ballot did not change the results. In the mayor’s race, Wayne Smith garnered 316 votes and will face Frank Goodman who received 314 votes. The pair will be in the runoff slated for Oct. 4 In District 1, Betty Adams was declared the winner as was H.A. Dick Harrelson in District 5. Runoffs are needed in districts 2,3 and 4. In District 2, Brownie Caldwell will face Harold Gamble. In District

3, Kevin M. Hall will face Teneeshia Goodman-Johnson and in District 4, Troy Davis will face Roy Mathis. The results also held in New Site, where Phil Blasingame defeated incumbent Curtis Mims for mayor. In Place 1, Mickey Carter topped challenger Larry Wilson. In the other four places, the races were unopposed. The council will consist of Place 2, Michael East, Place 3, Billy Daniel, Place 4, Bree Walton and Place 5, Toby Hanson. The runoff in all municipalities is set for Oct. 4. The certification of the vote also means that Sunday alcohol sales will begin in New Site and Dadeville this coming Sunday.

certified mail to clean up their property. Richardson informed them that only one had been signed for and was now in compliance. He asked how to handle the four that went unsigned and it was recommended that the police department could serve the notices. The council also: • approved allowing the Dadeville High School cheerleaders to ride on the fire truck in Friday’s Dadeville Homecoming parade. • approved the rezoning of two parcels of property on McKelvey Street from commercial to AG2 in accordance with the recommendation of the planning and zoning committee. • is waiting for a consultation with an engineer about a retention pond before allowing development. • approved the renewal of contracts with city judge Mark Allen Treadwell, city prosecutor Charles Gillenwaters and public defender Kenneth Wright. • learned that Gary Ingram Paving hopes to start part of the repaving of Lafayette Street this year but the paperwork with the state is the holdup on the project. • approved minutes from the last meeting with one change. • approved recreation center rentals.

Be safe as you travel this Labor Day

T

he upcoming Labor Day holiday will be one of the busiest times of the year on highways here and across the country. Taking trips to be with loved ones to share memories and special moments is often standard for the Labor Day weekend as people try to squeeze out one more weekend of summer fun. We encourage everyone to enjoy the weekend and have a great time. No matter whether you are spending time on Lake Martin, heading to a football game or taking a trip to the beach, please be careful. Local law enforcement will be out in force this weekend, working to make the roads safe. But safety starts with the person sitting behind the wheel. While the travel can make for great family time, we want the memories made this Labor Day to be positive ones. That starts with being aware while traveling. It should go without saying, but we again ask you all to be safe and remember these rules before you start your journey: No alcohol. In all fatal crashes in 2014, 26.5 percent of the drivers killed had been drinking. Buckle up. Every trip, every time, front seat and back – seatbelt use is vital. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released data that showed that the chances of surviving a crash increase by 26 percent with seatbelt use. Don’t text and drive and only use the phone on hands-free mode. Distracted driving is responsible for an estimated 23 percent of all crashes, according to the NHTSA. Speed kills, so slow down and allow yourself the time to react to the conditions you encounter on the road. Excessive speed is said to be a factor in 33.6 percent of all fatal crashes. These simple practices can reduce these deadly statistics. Be sure that you do your part this holiday travel season.

Editorial Football is better with shoulder pads and two cleats Our

A

s I stood on the sidelines as Coosa Central played in its home opener Friday night, I couldn’t help but think back to my high school days and the way it makes you feel to hear that National Anthem played, to say the “Lord’s Prayer” with a massive huddle of your teammates and hear the ref blow that opening whistle to start the game. It’s a rush that even now makes the hair on the arm of this 55-year-old jaded journalist stand at attention. I’ve said it before, but football season is my favorite time of the year. With ESPN and all the other sports networks now, there will soon be football on almost every night of the week. I was on football teams, but to say that I played football would be a bit of a stretch. My playing career was more of a sitting and standing career. I watched a lot of people play while I sat on the sidelines for the most part, until my senior year when I finally got my turn on the field. But there were a few times before that where I was close to the action at least. In 1976, I was a sophomore at North Clayton High School in College Park, Georgia. Our varsity football team was blessed with a strong junior and senior class and I played on the junior varsity. But nagging injuries to center Mark Mobley one week in practice led head

MITCH SNEED Editor

coach Jim Clepper to allow me to dress with the varsity for a road trip to Newton County. I don’t know his reasoning, but in my teen mind I thought that since I played center and the varsity center was ailing a bit, he had me there just in case. I was right. It was a rainy night and the field quickly turned to a mud bog. The Newton Rams were tough that year, but the game was close in the second quarter. That’s when it happened. I saw Mobley coming off the field grabbing his shoulder, limping a bit and one sock had disappeared into his Size 11 Riddell cleat. At the exact second that I saw it all unfold in slow motion, I heard assistant coach John Lynch scream my name. “Sneed, get up here now,” Lynch said. I sprinted toward the coach like a deer on the first day of gun season, my heart beating equally fast. “Take off your shoulder pads and what size shoe do you wear?” Lynch asked. I froze. “Size 11,” came out of my mouth after passing over a monstrous lump in my throat. “I need your right cleat

too,” Lynch said. Reality hit me like the bullet that is shot at that deer on the opening day of gun season. I undressed, pulling my pads off and my right shoe. It seems that Mark Mobley had hit a Rams player so hard that he broke a strap on his shoulder pads and the force of pushing off with a waterlogged cleat had busted his foot right through the side of the shoe. Coach Clepper called a timeout and Mark suited back up and was back on the field without missing a play. As for me, there I stood in one cleat and one sock-clad foot, both buried in the mud, feeling like one leg was longer than the other. No shoulder pads and the rain getting heavier by the second. Multiply that misery and embarrassment by two more quarters in the same state of apparel, add the sting of a 14-7 loss to Newton and a long, long bus ride home and then you are in my shoes – or should I say – my shoe. I share my story just to show how much I love the game. A bad day on the sidelines was better than a good day in the recliner with a remote in hand. So players, enjoy every second and all of us watching will be there, wishing we were you. Sneed is the editor of the newspapers of Tallapoosa Publishers.

We need more pets and fewer politicians

“P

olitical season is the most wonderful time of the year,” said no one ever. I’ve gotten to where I don’t even want to turn on my television. Whether it’s the terrorism or criminal activity at home or abroad or the chaos, corruption and Kardashian-like atmosphere of the presidential campaign, it’s just too much to bear, and I don’t want to see it. Make no mistake about it; I’m not naïve. I know what’s going on in the world, but I don’t feel the need to be inundated by it 24/7. I don’t bury my head in the sand. I do, however, choose to spend my time more wisely. I pray. I work. I write. I read. I garden. I cook. I clean. I crochet. I also spend the bulk of each day with my critters. “I love a dog. He does nothing for political reasons,” said cowboy, humorist, and American icon Will Rogers Ruby, my three year old chocolate lab is “wonderfully spoiled” according to my veterinarian, and rightfully so. She is quite simply the best dog ever and most people know that, whether they want to admit it or not. A couple of years ago, Ruby and I were at the drivethru at Chick-Fil-A and the young lady at the window looked into my vehicle with

JODY FULLER Guest Columnist

excitement. “Oh my gosh! You’re friends with my mother on Facebook,” she said. I confidently sucked in air through my nose like Barney Fife, but before I could exhale, she said “Because I recognize your dog.” My ego was quickly deflated, and that’s ok. Ruby is no politician. She loves unconditionally and literally wants to be at my side through thick and through thin. All she wants to do is make me happy. In fairness to politicians, it’s not always their job to make you happy. It’s wonderful if they can, but they also have to look at the greater good, which may or may not be what you want. Ruby on the other hand only wants to please me. All I have to do is feed her, house her, pet her, and throw the ball for her a thousand times a day. Each night, when we first get in the bed, she lays at my side but rests her head on my chest. In other words, she is wonderfully spoiled, as am I. Abbey, my

cat, comes to bed at her discretion but does so in stride with us more times than not. She’s a really good cat. Abbey is much more like a politician. There are times she is just the sweetest thing in the world for all the right reasons; however, there are other times when she just shows up when she wants something. You know, like the politician who conveniently starts going back to church during election season. With all the bedlam around the globe, it’s important for us to keep our eyes open and our ears to the ground, but it’s also important to focus on the good things in our lives. There is so much good in this world, but all too often, it seems to get trumped by all the negativity. God has blessed us with this big, beautiful world. We, too, are wonderfully spoiled, but we always find ways to mess things up. Perhaps we just need more pets and fewer politicians. I don’t know. I have a ball to throw. For the record, I don’t really crochet, at least not yet. Jody Fuller is a comic, speaker, writer and soldier with three tours of duty in Iraq. He is also a lifetime stutterer.

Letters to the Editor

Councilman: vote on traffic study a step backwards Dear Editor, It has been a pleasure to serve the taxpayers in District 2, City of Dadeville for the last four years. There have been issues that have come before the council that we have addressed for a positive move in our community. Many of these issues required much thought and citizen involvement. When I was elected in 2012, my main emphasis was to help our city progressively move forward and revitalize the many assets and opportunities there are, rather than look at many issues as obstacles. One of the main interests brought to me by many of you, was to revitalize and encourage business to move back to our downtown area. In partnership with the county we have

applied, and been approved, for a grant of $700,000 for revitalization of the downtown area. Definite plans have not been finalized as of this date as to the particulars of any changes to the cosmetic or operational patterns around the courthouse related to this grant. However, it has been told and rumored it is all reduced to final plans at this time, but there have been no plans issued other than an initial architectural rendering of the proposed study. It may not matter now, because our lame-duck council and mayor failed to approve monies for an additional traffic study. The study would have cost the city and county less than $10,000. By failing to fund that expenditure the total of the

grant of $700,000 very possibly is endangered. It is a sad day for me, and I think many forward thinkers of our city, to let an opportunity like we had to begin a major step of beautifying our downtown area and bringing great pride back to welcoming industry, business and our friends to Dadeville. Thanks to those of you who have helped in the forward progresses we have made, but I am ashamed to be a part of a regression of this magnitude. Maybe our new city leaders can pick up the pieces and move forward. Mickey Tarpley Dadeviille Dadeville Council District 2

Shooting

if we can put someone on the (Tallapoosa County) narcotics task force. And, I am asking to hire a person to fill that spot.” Barbour explained the advantage of having an officer on the task force. “The reason I want to put an officer in the narcotics task force is they all work together sharing information on a daily basis,” Barbour said. “This shooting could have possibly been avoided with intel.” According to Chief Barbour, officers were called to the American Legion Hall on East Columbus Street in Dadeville at 12:29 a.m. Sunday on a report of shots fired and individuals injured. The hall had been rented to individuals for a birthday, Barbour said. Upon arrival officers identified five people who had been injured in the shooting. One victim was taken by LifeFlight to Baptist South in Montgomery. Monday he was listed in critical, but stable condition. The other four victims received non-life-threatening injuries, according to Barbour, and as of Monday had been released from area hospitals. Two had been taken to East Alabama Medical Center, one to Lake Martin Community Hospital and a fourth was treated at Russell Medical Center in Alexander City. Barbour said two suspects have been developed in this case, but did not release names and said no arrests had been made as of early Monday afternoon. Barbour said that officers from the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, Camp Hill Police Department and the Jacksons Gap Police Department offered assistance in the case. Barbour said the investigation was ongoing and investigators are following leads and aiming to locate the suspects that have been identified. Anyone with any information on this case, please call the Dadeville Police Department at 256-825-6212 or investigations at 256-825-9959. Information can also

be emailed to the following email addresses: police@ dadevillepd.org, christopher.r.martin.302@gmail.com, jonathan.floyd.306@gmail.com. Health insurance is one roadblock to hiring officers. Currently the City of Dadeville covers 75 percent of the individual insurance but none of the family plans. “The roadblock I am running into is the insurance,” Barbour said. “If I am lucky, I will catch someone that is not married and does not have dependents. I have had several come to me and would like a job if the insurance is different.” Funding any changes in insurance is a problem and funding is also the issue in adding an officer. “I sympathize with you on the insurance,” Council member Randy Foster said. “We have dealt with it before. Hopefully the budget for the next fiscal year will be better as the revenue is improving. At this point, I don’t know what the solution is.” Both Foster and fellow council member Mickey Tarpley, both of whom will no longer be on the council come November, were hesitant to take on the funding issue. “I don’t think we will see any revenue changes until after the new year,” Foster said. “I don’t think we can vote on it now,” Tarpley said. That is next year’s budget. We cannot burden the next council with changing a budget.” The next budget is currently in the works and if approved takes affect Oct. 1. Foster agreed that something needs to be done with the drug issues in Dadeville. “We need help,” Foster said. “At this point, I don’t have an answer for you. We need help with intel. If we are not going to get help, …and this activity continues to increase, then we have got to bite the bullet and get you some help from somewhere.”

United Way Those in attendance enjoyed a casual meal of hot dogs and chips while others milled around to view the displays. After the film and a short skit from the Russell Medical Center “No-Talent Show,” which was part of its Pacesetter campaign, Harmon talked a bit more about the Girl’s Ranch and the United Way. One girl, he said, was brought into a Girl’s Ranch home and spied canned vegetables –specifically, canned green beans and canned tomatoes – through a pantry door. Later, the girl, who had spent months on the street selling her body to live,

continued from page 1

told him, “Mr. Jimmy, you wouldn’t believe what I had to do for canned green beans and canned tomatoes.” Harmon pointed out that the vegetables the girl had seen came from the Food Bank of East Alabama, another United Way agency. “The wonderful thing about the United Way is it lets its agencies excel at what they do,” said Harmon. “They don’t put band-aids on problems. They offer solutions to problems.” Diane Lemmond, the chair of this year’s campaign, asked the attendees to put on their sunglasses if they had them to protect their eyes against the

Jackson’s Gap of the votes. “You cannot write it any closer than that,” Walker said. “I feel relieved now. It has been a stressful week.” In the mayor’s race, a total of 190 votes were cast. 175 votes were cast at the machine in person, 9 absentee ballots were cast and 6 provisional ballots were cast. Four of those provisional ballots were cast in person and two were cast by absentee. Four provisional ballots were for Walker, one was for Michael Crouch and one was for Kim Henderson. Walker won the election without the need of a runoff. “I am glad that there is no runoff,” Walker said. “That is like sudden death

“brighter future.” “I started to open the blinds and let all the sun in, but that would have probably been a bit too much.” Lemmond said. The night closed with the awarding of prizes for the agencies with the best display, best table decorations and best photo frames, one voted on with donations another with votes. Meals on Wheels won prizes for best display and best photo frame (votes), ARISE won the prize for best table decoration and TAP (TallaCoosa Aid to People) won for best photo frame as decided by donations with $310.

culate letters and flyers to local businesses that have donated in the past. Fuller believes that helping the United Way can offer donors the kind of satisfaction that only comes from giving to others. “It’s a morale builder and allows them to feel good about helping other people. So many people have to come to the agencies for help,” Fuller said.

TIGERS TRAMPLE REBELS

Cliff Williams / The Record

Dadeville’s Jalen Sullivan, right, breaks up a pass intended for Reeltown’s R.J. Woodward.

Dadeville coasts to win over Reeltown behind Buchanan, interception By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

When the dust settled at the end of the 2016 Battle of Highway 49 last Thursday night, Dadeville had claimed victory on its home field over Reeltown by a score of 48-21. Dadeville starting quarterback Margarius Buchanan ran for 147 yards passed for 106 yards and scored three touchdowns to lead the Tigers over the Rebels. The Tigers staked their claim early in the game as defensive back Qua Tucker intercepted the ball as Reeltown attemped to convert on fourth down from their own 37 yard line. Tucker returned the ball for touchdown with 9:17 left in the first quarter for a score of 6-0. With Alex Sims’ kick for the extra point good, that brought Dadeville’s lead to 7-0. Reeltown soon put their own points on the scoreboard when running back Makeveon Hughley scored a touchdown from the goal line with 7:51 remaining in the first quarter for a score of 7-6. With

the kick for the extra point good, the Rebels tied the score 7-7. The score remained tied up through the first half of the second quarter. Then Tigers’ starting quarterback Margarius Buchanan moved the ball from the five yard line for a touchdown with 6:01 left in the second quarter, bringing the score to 13-7. Before the first half was over the Tigers increased their lead when Margarius Buchanan scored another touchdown with 1:10 left in the second quarter for a score of 19-7. Buchanan also made a successful two-point conversion, widening Dadeville’s lead to 21-7 with 1:10 left in the first half. The Tigers maintained their momentum in the third quarter. With 2:49 left, Dadeville’s Buchanan passed the ball to running back Tykeem Holley at the 22-yard line. From there Holley rushed for a touchdown, bringing the score to 27-7 with 2:32 left in the third quarter. The Tigers’ kick for the extra point was good fore a score of 28-7.

Buchanan widened Dadeville’s lead before the quarter was over by rushing 22 yards for a touchdown, bringing the score to 34-7 with 1:11 left in the third quarter. With the Tigers’ kick for the extra point good, the score moved to 35-7. The Tigers continued to roar in the fourth quarter as running back JaMichael Moss scored a touchdown with 10:31 left in the game for a score of 41-7. The Rebels continued to fight as Reeltown fullback Cole Flurry scored a touchdown with 7:02 left in the game for a score of 41-13. Flurry’s two-point conversion was good, narrowing the gap a little and bringing the score to 41-15. However, Dadeville was determined to widen the gulf as running back JaMichael Moss scored a touchdown from the goal line with 4:14 left in the fourth quarter for a score of 47-15. Alex Sims’ kick for the extra point was good, bringing the score to 48-15. Reeltown made one last effort as wide receiver Cameron Faison rushed

24 yards to score a touchdown for the Rebels. This brought the score to 48-21 with 1:54 left in the game, which stood as the final score of the game. Dadeville head football coach Richard White said he was proud of his team, especially for winning a rivalry game at home. “It feels good,” he said. “Anytime you win a rivalry game it’s special. I’m proud of my kids. Overall I was pleased with our fight.” Dadeville’s win brings the Tigers to 1-1 as they host Munford tomorrow at Tiger Stadium. It’s a game White was already thinking about after last week’s win. “We’ve got a tough week next week so we’ve got to have a great week of practice,” White said. The coach plans to clean up some things he saw during last week’s game, especially with younger players. Still seeking their first win of the season, Reeltown heads to Woodland tomorrow to face the Bobcats.

Tigers look for homecoming win By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

The Dadeville High football team will head into its homecoming game Friday night by hosting Munford, ranked No. 6 in its 4A class by ASWA. Dadeville comes into its second home game of the season after defeating Reeltown last Thursday in a rivalry match by a score of 48-21. It was Dadeville’s first win of 2016 and the Tigers’ first home game. But Dadeville head coach Richard White isn’t

letting his team dwell too long on that victory. “It’s just like any other game,” he said, stressing the importance of taking the season week by week. Another reason White doesn’t want to focus too heavily on last week’s win is that he believes the Tigers could have done better on defense. “We didn’t tackle well,” the coach said. White said that the focus for this week’s homecoming game is on improving the Tigers’ tackles before heading into Friday’s match up with Munford. He’s also

looking to make sure the team stays on their blocks. White is hoping these improvements will help pack Dadeville’s arsenal as they face a formidable opponent in the Lions. “This bunch is a good strong team,” the coach said. “They’ve got a strong quarterback.” Dadeville’s homecoming game kicks off at 7 p.m. Friday at Tiger Stadium. However, the homecoming king and queen will be crowned in a ceremony beginning at 6:30 p.m.

When the Reeltown High football team heads to Woodland Friday night to face the Bobcats, they’ll be looking for their first win of the season. The Rebels are coming off their second loss of the season last week to Dadeville by a score of 48-21 in a rivalry match against the Tigers. “It’s not what we wanted,” said Reeltown head football coach Matt Johnson of last week’s outcome. Johnson is hoping the Rebels learned from last week’s mistakes on offense. “We’ve got to get off the field on third down,” he said. The coach is also working to tighten up Reeltown’s defense. But Johnson’s biggest focus is to make sure the Rebels don’t repeat last week’s inconsistencies, especially lack of effort in the second half. “The biggest disappointment to me was when we started losing some effort in the third quarter,” Johnson said. The coach said a lot of his players seemed to give up as the game went on. But not all of them. “Cole Flurry ran at the end of the game,” Johnson said. “He stepped up.” The coach is seeking to address this issue and ensure that the Rebels give 100 percent throughout the entire game. “I wanted to see a change in mindset,” Johnson said. As Reeltown shifts its focus to Friday’s upcoming matchup against Woodland, they’ve done so with a shift in practice procedures. Johnson explained that several players came into the season with injuries, which had affected the Rebels’ practices. “We protected them a little bit,” he said. However, Johnson said, injuries are

no longer an issue and Monday began more physical practices. “We went back to our roots,” the coach said. With these adjustments, Reeltown is looking to come out on top against Woodland Friday night, which should be a formidable challenge for the Rebels. “They’re a wide open team, very similar to what we do,” Johnson said. “This is also our first region game.” The Region 5 2A Woodland failed to put any points on the board last week, losing to Wadley 55-0. “Woodland got beat pretty badly,” Johnson said. “But they’re a lot better team that this shows.” The Reeltown coach is zoning in on one key factor when helping the Rebels prepare to face Woodland. “Offensively, they’ve got to be a lot better,” Johnson said. “We’re definitely preparing for a fight.” Kick off is at 7 p.m. Friday at Bobcat Stadium in Woodland.
