United Way celebrates early campaign success By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Mitch Sneed / The Outlook

Randy Haynes and Sharon Fuller talk about the Lake Martin Area United Way’s Superheroes Campaign poster that Haynes said had caused him some grief from his friends.

Several representatives of Lake Martin Area United Way agencies and local businesses participating in the 2015 campaign gathered for lunch Friday to hear an update on where the campaign currently stands. Friday marked exactly one month since the campaign kicked off with a reception at the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center and disclosed this year’s campaign goal of $530,000. Currently, Lake

Martin Area United Way, through local businesses and volunteers, has raised $95,000 toward that goal. That puts the campaign at 18 percent of the overall goal. “We’re off to a great start,” said Sharon Fuller, executive director of Lake Martin Area United Way. “We still have several local businesses that are either still in their campaigns or have yet to start them. We feel very good about what we’ve done so far and how the campaign will progress from here.” Randy Haynes, an attorney with

Deadline nears in ‘Say Cheese’ fundraiser

Qualifying officially begins in November for March voting

By Corey Arwood Outlook Staff Writer

The deadline is approaching to pre-order a cheese ball made by women from First United Methodist Church’s for the “Say Cheese” fundraiser. To guarantee one of the five flavors, orders must be received by Wednesday, Sept. 30. After that, Pam Young, a member of the group, said there are no guarantees that there will be an availability of any given flavor. A limited number of each recipe is made on only one day, she said. “They’re all handmade from scratch, they’re original recipes. We do them all in one afternoon,” said Young. The proceeds of the sales are not designated for one specific purpose, but go to a sort of general fund that the church uses to donate to various causes within the community, Young said. See CHEESEBALL, Page 5

the local firm Morris, Haynes, Wheeles, Knowles & Nelson, which provided the mail, presided over Friday’s update. After Haynes welcomed the group, he turned the meeting over to Fuller, who pointed out several upcoming events that will benefit the campaign, including: • Downtown Showdown Fashion Show, Oct. 22, in the parking lot behind the United Way office. Tickets are $30 in advance and $35 at the door and include wine, beer, hors d’oeuvres and the chance to See CAMPAIGN, Page 5

After 12 years of serving as the elected Fifth Judicial Circuit District Attorney, E. Paul Jones said that he does not intend to seek another term. With that in mind, Chief Deputy District Attorney Damon Lewis confirmed that he plans to run for the seat. Lewis made the news official Thursday evening at a meeting of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party in Dadeville. Lewis said his experience Mitch Sneed / The Outlook makes him uniquely Damon Lewis has announced qualified to step his intention to run for DA. up to lead the team of prosecutors that serve the people of Chambers, Macon, Randolph and Tallapoosa counties. “I have been chief deputy district attorney for 10 years and have served in this office for a total of 20 years,” Lewis said. “During that time See DA, Page 3 Pictured from left are River Bank’s Renea Voss, Connie Emfinger, Carla Reese, Amanda Blankenship, Senior Vice President Abby Guy, Jessica Locke and Senior Vice President Randy Dawkins at the new bank branch.

Plans are being made for the construction of a permanent building to house River Bank & Trust of Alexander City. For about two weeks now RB&T has operated out of a temporary office at 3617 Highway 280, also the site of its future development. The temporary building functions as a full-service bank. River Bank and Trust has been in the area since last May but only operated in limited capacity as a loan production office until now. According to Randy Dawkins, senior vice president and a rela-

tionship manager at RB&T of Alexander City, the community has shown support of the bank’s beginnings in the area. A release from the bank said that Dawkins and fellow manager Abby Guy, both long-time area bankers, were appointed as the team that will lead in the development and direction of the bank. The bank is going on its 10th operating year, having been founded in 2006. Since then Jimmy Stubbs has been both president and CEO of RB&T. He said that there was a need in Alexander City for their style of See BANK, Page 5

DEAR ABBY: I’m 18 and live with my boyfriend, “Austin,” at his parents’ house because, frankly, my mom is too much for me to handle. I graduated from high school with no plan for anything afterward. I was going to follow Austin to the school of his choice, but then he changed his mind about college. I’m happy to stay here in Colorado, but I now feel like I don’t have much going for myself. Austin already has a job because of a connection his dad had at work. I have applied for more than 10 jobs and haven’t heard back. I was thinking of doing online classes in a year, but I have no clue what I want to study. How will I know what I want to do for the rest of my life? -- GOING NOWHERE DEAR GOING NOWHERE: I don’t know what kind of jobs you have been applying

DEAR ABBY Advice

for, but because you haven’t heard back from 10 of them, you either may not be qualified or don’t create a good enough impression. If you haven’t already asked Austin and his parents what they think you might be doing wrong, you should, so they can offer some helpful suggestions. You should also make it your business to contact the nearest university extension department and inquire about aptitude tests and career counseling. Generally, the classes in which you have excelled are the areas you should explore

It’s been a year and my boyfriend’s are still up. He’s not active on them, but the emails still come to his inbox.

Our

Opinion

Rating the week’s T winners and losers

omorrow, I will hit the speed limit. Fifty-five years

THUMBS UP: The driving forces behind the current Lake Martin Area United Way funding campaign deserve a lot of credit for coming up with such an innovative and fun theme. Friday marked exactly one month since the “Superheroes” campaign kicked off with a reception at the Betty Carol Graham Technology Center and disclosed this year’s campaign goal of $530,000. It was announced at an update luncheon Friday that local businesses and volunteers have raised $95,000 toward that goal. THUMBS DOWN: The madness that has been swirling around city hall here in Alexander City is embarrassing. That is not our opinion. That’s what people who live here and love this town are saying. Standing up for what you believe in is an admirable quality, but when legal minds that are paid with city funds tell you that you are wrong, the argument should be over. We’ve said it off and on for years that a city manager was needed, so we won’t waste this space today with saying it again. What we do think needs to be said is that it doesn’t matter who is right or wrong, but the pettiness and vindictive atmosphere has residents mad and city employees on edge. It’s time to have a group hug and figure this all out. THUMBS UP: Fox Point Farm in Kellyton deserves a big salute after Patrick and Christie Jamison brought home two blue ribbons from the Fall Gift and Home Furnishings Market at AmericasMart Atlanta on September 16-18. The Jamisons’ “Faabulous Fudge Sauce” won first place in the Best Chocolate division. Their Salted Vanilla Caramels brought home Best Candy. Both sweets were made from milk provided by Fox Point Farm goats. Congratulations! THUMBS DOWN: Earlier this week, the Outlook reported that funding for our state parks has been cut again by lawmakers in Montgomery. We understand all too well that tough decisions have to be made in times of diminishing revenues, but it would seem that there are other places that would need a budget trim more than an already lean state parks system. The $3 million that was transferred out of the parks budget this year makes the total of finds lost in the department more than $30 million over a five-year period. It’s time to cut elsewhere. You can’t keep expecting the parks to do more with less.

old! It’s a wonder that I’ve made it this far. Born prematurely, ugly all my life, a non-athlete. All I had going for me this whole time were my smarts. And some folks would debate that. But seriously, what brought me this far – through all the poor decisions and tough times – is simple. Love. My parents, both humble teachers with picket-fence dreams, saw those dreams come true and, in the meantime, had three kids that all turned out pretty darned decent. In fact, I’m the one that screwed the family tradition up. My sister and brother, both older, also became teachers. But me? I had to write. And I was encouraged to write. In fact, I was encouraged to do anything and everything wholesome that I chose to do. That’s the kind of people my parents were. I lost my Dad four years ago. He was perhaps the hardest-working man I’ve known. My Mom still lives in the family home and still gives her three kids what she can. Mostly love. And she loves hard and unconditionally.

DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer

But there’s one person who has really made a difference in my life. She’s the one who flagged me off a bad road onto a much smoother one. We “met” in our 30s. Both had a failed marriage behind us. Each of us had a young son. We had actually met years before, in high school. We graduated in the same class, hung with the same crowd, were friends, but never dated (Although there is the one picture in a yearbook where I apparently escorted her at a Harvest Queen Festival, though neither of us recalls it.). But chance brought us across each other’s path some 15 or so years later and I fell in love with her. I can remember the moment. The exact moment. We were in the car headed out on a date and she looked over at me and smiled. My heart waved its white flag. We were married not too long after that and we’ve created our own little blended family. Not without problems, mind you. There were tough times that required tough love. Others

that required understanding. But we made it and now our sons are happily married, have careers, lovely wives and beautiful children – all boys! – of their own. Put another way, we’ve a lot to be thankful for. But I have more. Frankly, I haven’t always been the best husband. In fact, sometimes I’ve been downright wrong, taken my wife, the greatest gift God has ever given me, for granted. But what does my wife do? She does what only she could do. She loves me. Believe me when I say that there were times when I could have been a statistic. Believe me when I say that I have flirted with many ugly things in my life. But, more than anything, believe me when I say that I have a wife who has led me away from all that, always forgiven my many shortcomings and to whom I owe a much greater debt than I could ever repay. Yes, I turn 55 on Sunday. I don’t want a party and I certainly don’t want gifts. My life and the people in it – especially my wife, Lynn – are the greatest gifts I could ever receive.

n light of all the shenanigans at City Hall, I think we could all use a little levity this weekend. And baseball icon Yogi Berra, who died this week at age 90, could levitate like no one else. As a tribute to Yogi, and to get our minds off more serious mix-ups, I’d like to share some of the great one’s quips and quotes that have lightened the spirits of millions for several generations. Some of these Yogi actually said. Some he didn’t, but they were so Yogi-like, so filled with insight and near-sightedness, that he should have. So he gets at least partial credit. He admitted as much in typical Yogi fashion, “I didn’t really say all the things I said.” So here’s a list of classic Yogisms: “When you come to a fork in the road … take it.” “If you can’t imitate him, don’t copy him.” “I usually take an hour nap from 1 to 4.” “A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore.” “Even Napoleon had his Watergate.” “It was impossible to get a conversation going,

everybody was talking too much.” “Never answer an anonymous letter.” “You better cut the pizza into four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six.” “Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.” “You wouldn’t have won if we had beaten you.” “You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.” “Baseball is 90 percent mental. The other half is physical.” “It’s ain’t over till it’s over.” “I can’t hit and think at the same time.” “The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.” “If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer.” “Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps parents off the streets.”

“I’m lucky. Usually you’re dead to get your own museum, but I’m alive to see mine.” “It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility.” “I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field.) They had bags over their heads.” “You can observe a lot by watching.” “I always thought the record would stand until it was broken.” “The future ain’t what it used to be.” “I want to thank you for making this day necessary.” “Pair up in threes.” “If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be.” “It gets late early out here.” “Why buy good luggage? You only use it when you travel.” “It’s déjà vu all over again.” “We made too many wrong mistakes.” Hmmm ... “You can observe a lot by watching.” I listed that last one twice … because he’s right. “Take it with a grin of salt.” Boone is publisher of The Outlook.

Bank bank. “When you look at our bank, we are a community bank and I would argue that Alexander City does not have a community bank today,” Stubbs said. They essentially offer the same services but Tubbs said that their bank is different than the larger banks that have branches in the area. He said that you have to have bankers who know the market and understand the custom-

ers, who will come to respect the bank for its role the community. “Every decision we make is a local decision,” said Stubbs. Another reason for their move to the area was the proximity of Alexander City to the Opelika-Auburn area. Earlier in the year, RB&T announced a planned merger with Keystone Bank of East Alabama. Once that merger is approved by regulatory

agencies and shareholders, Stubbs said that the bank will have a presence in Auburn, Opelika and Gadsden along with its original market areas of Prattville, Wetumpka and Montgomery. Stubbs said that when the bank was opened it capitalized with a little under $25 million. A majority of that money came from individuals and businesspersons residing in the River Region. “We never really imag-

The group also heard from guest speaker Melissa Reynolds of Boys & Girls Club of Alexander City about how its partnership with Lake Martin Area United Way benefits that agency. Reynolds talked about the Boys & Girls Club’s Reach program, which works to get those children in the area whose parents can’t afford the cost into an afterschool program, and its Goalpost program, which mentors members on how to reach their

goals by learning skills and participating in community service. “Those may sound like small things,” Reynolds said, “but many kids couldn’t tell you what a goal or community service is. We have to reach the kids that need us most.” Fuller ended the gathering with an invitation for businesses in the community that may not be involved with the United Way campaign to do so. “We hope that there are other businesses out there that would like to get involved in our campaign and help our community be there when people need assistance from one of our agencies,” Fuller said. “It’s a great way to create some camaraderie among your employees and help others at the same time.”

ined when we began that we would grow those boundaries,” said Stubbs. According to Dawkins the branch in Alexander

City will be housed in a state of the art facility and construction is expected to be complete some time next year.

Cheeseball She said that it has been used to fund foster families and support numerous local charitable organizations like Angel Tree and Save a Life. Funds from the sales were also used to aid Katrina victims that had been relocated to Wind Creek State Park, provide bottled water for school buses during times of severe heat and support various missions of the church, Young said. “If there’s a need, simply, over the years, it’s so nice being able to help them out,” said Young. The fundraiser has been ongoing for years and, due to its increasing popularity, went from involving only one of the women’s groups at the church to all five, Young said. For each recipe there a lot of ladies involved, Young said, but there are five cheese heads that act as directors and, according to Young, are dedicated to perfecting the recipes. The flavors they have chosen are have become standards, resulting from the fan favorites of their first experiences with the fundraiser. The choices are Spicy Senorita, Festive, Old English Cheddar and

English Bleau. She would not say too much about each flavor. “We guard our recipes,” Young said. But she did share that Spicy Senorita is a Mexican style rolled in paprika. Their “Festive” flavor is a sweet dessert style with frozen honey. The consistent favorite over the years, she said, is “Old English Cheddar,” which is a traditional strong cheese, with a very smooth texture rolled in nuts. Their “Holiday” option is seasoned with red and green bell peppers and made with a creamy cheese base. Young also said that

she noticed the favorite of most men to be “English Bleau.” Rolled in fresh parsley, Young said that it is a popular choice because it can be paired with many other dishes. The cheese balls are packaged and frozen. Young said they last for a year, but she suggests using them within six months. Pick up is Tuesday, Nov. 3, at First United Methidist Church Fellowship Hall from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Young said to call the church at (256) 234-6322 for more information on how to place an order online, or to go by the church office and pick up an order form.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your insistence to have a situation Ă&#x201E;t your specs could backĂ&#x201E;re when you least expect it to. Understand what is going on with a roommate, partner or family member. This person seems to want to resist your requests. A friend eggs you on in a new direction. Tonight: Pace yourself. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH You might be too tired to continue down the present path. Rethink your plans. Allow more fun into interactions with those you enjoy. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll recycle quickly when you learn to let go and relax. Someone will let you know how strongly he or she feels about you. Tonight: Playful. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might not intentionally oppose someone, but you will anyway. Your priorities are so diÉ&#x2C6;erent from this personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s that you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to agree. Stay close to home, and allow others to come over and visit. You might need to revise your budget. Tonight: Get into a fun game. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You could be Ă&#x2026;ooded by calls, visits and requests. Though you are overwhelmed, you might want to do something you enjoy with someone you always have a good time with. Weigh the pros and cons of what is being oÉ&#x2C6;ered. Tonight: Togetherness feels great. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Be more open about your limitations. A loved one appreciates what you have to handle. This person understands what you deal with, and he or she will respond accordingly. You could be working through a problem in your mind. Get a second opinion. Tonight: Make it your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH Be aware of what others expect from you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll need to deal with their expectations, especially if they are not grounded. A friend means well, but he or she could become somewhat of a nuisance. Accept a loved oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gesture to pitch in. Tonight: Ask and you shall receive.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH If you were open about how you feel, you would express a need to be more reserved. You might sense a situation arising around an older friend or associate. A child needs your caring, much more than you had anticipated. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t spread yourself too thin. Tonight: Happy at home. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHH Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll want to meet up with a friend who can be somewhat unpredictable. You could Ă&#x201E;nd the adjustments you need to make to see this person a little tiring. Revise your thinking. You are choosing to be with this person, and you know the patience it requires. Tonight: Hang out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Be aware of how you project yourself. Should you choose to be silly, you will draw more silliness toward you. If you choose to be grumpy, you are likely to attract other crabby people. A partner points this fact out to you. Make an adjustment if necessary. Tonight: A favorite place. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH Reach out to someone you care about. You might not know what would be best to do about a request from a relative or neighbor. You know you should do it, but you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like it. Know that the other party can sense your reluctance. Tonight: Go where you can listen to music. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH You could feel as if someone is demanding too much from you. How you establish limits will be up to you. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let this person keep draining you, especially Ă&#x201E;nancially. Be willing to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? more. You will be happier as a result. Tonight: Add some spice to your evening. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others will seek you out to share some wonderful ideas. You will need to say â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;? if you have to pitch in past your comfort level. You might be unusually positive at the moment, but think in terms of the long run. Express a sense of humor in dealing with a problem. Tonight Out.

Drug take back is today at Walgreens

t is common knowledge that we don’t need to leave expired or unwanted medications lying around the house, but, just what is the best way to dispose of these medications? Throwing them in the trash or flushing them down the toilet is not how one gets rid of them. The safest and most environmentally responsible way to dispose of these drugs is to participate in a Drug Take Back Event, such as the one scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 26 at Walgreens Pharmacy located in Alex City from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Prescription and over the counter drugs are eligible. The DEA cannot accept liquids or needles or sharps, only pills or patches. It is a “no questions asked” drop-off. Law enforcement officials will be on hand to accept the medications. We are aware of the dangers of unused drugs falling into the hands of children or being used for illegal purposes, but we don’t always consider the hazards posed to the environment. Experts are now finding that

flushing drugs down the toilet is not as safe and harmless as we might have thought. There is growing concern that these drugs are causing serious environmental harm. Sewage and wastewater treatment plants are not designed to filter out these drugs and they are ultimately being discharged into the ground and surface water. It has also been shown that the antibiotics being disposed of in this manner are killing the beneficial bacteria needed to operate the sewage system processing plants as well as personal septic tanks. Studies are now showing that this practice is dangerous to our rivers, lakes, and streams as well as harmful to the animals that depend on these aquatic habitats. A study done by the United State Geological Survey back in 1999 showed that 80 percent of our streams contained com-

pounds found in common medications. Sewage systems are not set up to remove these medicines from water that is released into lakes, rivers or oceans. Fish and other aquatic animals have shown adverse effects from medicines in the water. This free, anonymous, no questions asked initiative prevents pill abuse and theft by ridding homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused and unwanted drugs. It also addresses a vital public health and public safety issue. Medications that languish in home cabinets are highly susceptible to diversion, misuse and abuse. Partners for this worthwhile project are: Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force, Drug Enforcement Agency, Alexander City Police Department, Camp Hill Police Department and Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership.

Wildcat offense explodes in road win over Stanhope By Robert Hudson Outlook Sports Editor

MILLBROOK – Benjamin Russell senior Chase Burton ran for three touchdowns and senior quarterback Tyre Gray added two more in the No. 8 Wildcats’ 48-28 road win over the Stanhope Elmore Mustangs on Friday. Danny Horn, head coach of Benjamin Russell (5-1, 1-1 in Class 6A-Region 3) said he was pleased with his offense, which scored 42 points in the first half, but added that the Wildcat defense has to tackle and defend the pass much better moving forward. “I thought offensively we played well all night. The start of the third quarter, we had a bad series there, but overall I thought we played well on offense,” Horn said. “Defensively, we didn’t tackle well. We’re going to spend about half the practice tackling on Monday. And we’re going to find us some people that can guard somebody if I have to go to the middle school and bring up some people that can guard some folks.” Benjamin Russell got the offensive fireworks going when Gray broke a 22-yard touchdown run with the Sean Rape extra point giving the Wildcats a 7-0 lead with 7:58 left in the opening quarter. After forcing a Stanhope Elmore (0-5, 0-2 in Class 6A-Region 2) punt, the Wildcats finished off a short, 50-yard drive as Burton plunged in from 3-yards out to extend the lead to 14-0 with 5:24 left in the first. The Wildcat defense forced a turnover when Jeffery Burno recovered fumble by Stanhope’s Kareem Jackson at the Mustangs’ 20-yard line. Three plays later, Burton scored from 2-yards out to make it a 21-0 Benjamin Russell lead with 4:14 left in the first. Stanhope finally responded on the ensuing possession, finishing off an eight-play, 80-yard drive with a 46-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Phillip Warlick III to Jackson. Tyrell McIntosh added the extra point to cut into the Wildcats’ lead at 21-7 with less than a minute left in the first. But just as the Mustangs looked to have seized the momentum, Benjamin Russell’s Timmy Lawson took the ensuing kickoff 84 yards for a touchdown to put the Wildcats back ahead by three scores at 28-7 with 49 seconds left in the first. Stanhope’s next drive stalled at the BRHS 47, but the Mustangs faked the punt on fourth down, as the upback Barry Mitchell raced 47 yards up the home sideline to make it 28-14 game early in the second. The Wildcats didn’t wait long to respond, as BRHS recovered the Stanhope onside kick and Gray found Latravious Kelley three plays later for a 37-yard touchdown to make it 35-14

with 9:55 left in the second. Stanhope’s offense stayed hot, finishing off a 77-yard drive with a 40-yard touchdown from Warlick III to Jurmorris McMillon to make it 35-20. But the Wildcats closed the half with 13-yard touchdown run by Gray to make it 42-20 at the break. Benjamin Russell finished off an 80-yard drive in the fourth quarter with Burton’s third score of the night on a

3-yard run, but missed the extra point. Stanhope’s final score came on a 26-yard pass from Tanner Anderson to Keldric Martin, as Anderson also added the 2-point conversion on a short run with 7:43 left in the game. Gray led the Wildcats with 150 yards on nine carries with two scores while throwing for one more. NeColby Maxwell added 86 yards on 15 carries for the Wildcats.

The Mustangs outgained the Wildcats on the night, with 356 yards of total offense to Benjamin Russell’s 317 yards. The Mustangs passed for 205 on the night. Benjamin Russell will return to the field next Friday in a region game on the road at Oxford, while Stanhope will also be in region action on the road at the rival Wetumpka Indians on Friday.

Collinsville 28, Horseshoe Bend 14

Generals drop opportunities in homecoming loss

Cliff Williams / The Outlook

Horseshoe Bend’s Trace Meadows brings down Collinsville’s Tre Bowers in the second quarter. The Generals host Elmore County next week in a non-region match up.

By David Granger Outlook Staff Writer

Horseshoe Bend’s workhorse junior running back Drew Hill ran 27 times for 155 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to save homecoming as the Generals (0-5) remained winless on the season with a 28-14 loss to the visiting Collinsville Panthers (3-2) in a non-region contest. Hill’s second touchdown came on a nifty 28-yard run at the 3:16 mark in the third quarter that saw him run around left end, then cut back toward the middle en route to the end zone. After Caleb Bailey’s extra point cut Collinsville’s lead to 21-14, the Generals’ defense stopped the Panthers at the Horseshoe Bend 39. Dominick Brockitt’s fourth-quarter punt was fair caught at the Generals’ 15 and Horseshoe Bend had a chance to drive for a tying score. But three plays later quarterback Braxton Walls and Hill had a problem with the exchange and Collinsville’s Steven Wash recovered

the fumble. “They played pretty much errorfree football and we get a chance right there and just put it on the ground,” said Horseshoe Bend head coach Jason Franklin. “Same old story, man, we just can’t figure out a way not to hurt ourselves and we did it. We did it again tonight. Down by a score. Had some momentum, I thought, and we just let it get away from us again. “It was a bad exchange. That was a play we’d run all night and who knows? We’ll look at the film next week. We have to do some soul searching right now. Find out if we want to be as physical as we were last week against Reeltown. We weren’t tonight. We weren’t physical on either side of the football. I don’t know where our minds were.” Collinsville head coach James Willingham was complimentary of the Horseshoe Bend squad. “They played hard,” Willingham said of the Generals. “They came up to our place and took it to us last year

and we’re just happy to come down here and get a win any way we can get a win. (Hill’s) a good player. He’s as good as anybody we play against. Just like Horseshoe Bend, we play in a tough region and see some good players, but he’s as good as we’ll see all year.” Collinsville took the game’s opening kickoff and set sail on an eight-play, 76-yard touchdown drive, overcoming two holding penalties in the process. Quarterback Joshua Jones threw to Nicholas Brockitt for 33 yards and the score with 8:37 left in the opening period. Elijah Avila’s PAT gave Collinsville a 7-0 lead. The Panthers’ lead stood until Horseshoe Bend’s initial drive of the second quarter, which saw the Generals drive 59 yards on 14 plays aided by a late-hit penalty on a Panther who took a late shot on Walls. Hill finally pounded over right tackle from the 1 to tie the game at 7-all. Collinsville got the touchdown right back, driving 69 yards with the ensuing

kickoff in just six plays, the key being a 43-yard scamper by Dallas Reed that moved the ball from the Panthers’ own 36 to the Generals’ 21. Four plays later, Gerald Blakely scored from the 8-yard line and Collinsville’s lead was seven again at 14-7. Collinsville stretched its lead to 21-7 on a two-play 42-yard drive in the third quarter, the score coming on Jones’ 21-yard pass to Brandon Bryan. Collinsville’s final score came on another two-play drive that saw Trenton Nash score from the 2 after Blakely rambled 53 yards from his own 45. Collinsville’s Jones completed eight of 13 passing attempts for 126 yards and two touchdowns and one interception and Blakely rushed 11 times for 81 yards and a score to lead the Panthers. Next Friday night, Horseshoe Bend entertains Class 4A non-region foe Elmore County, which fell to 3-2 Friday night with a 53-42 loss to Reeltown. Collinsville entertains Class 2A Region 7 rival Plainview.

Coosa 56, Isabella 21

Coosa spoils Isabella’s homecoming By Stephen Dawkins The Clanton Advertiser

By the time Isabella’s defense figured out how to stop Coosa-Central on Friday, the visiting Cougars had built a 48-14 lead and put the game away. Coosa scored on all six of its first-half possessions during the game, which was Isabella’s homecoming. Caley Booth being crowned queen at halftime was undoubtedly the highlight of the night for the Isabella fans, though the Mustangs did come up with a few stops in the second half. In the first half, Coosa scored on a 14-yard run by Raymond Graham, a 63-yard run by Cedarius Askew, a 28-yard pass from Graham to David McKinney following a lost fumble on a kickoff, a 44-yard run by Roriguez Whetstone and a 10-yard run by Graham. Isabella quarterback Jaqarise Stacy got the Mustangs on the board when he put his head down and plowed into the end zone on fourth-and-goal from the 1-yard line. Austin Brasher lined up as the holder for the point after but instead took the snap, stood up and ran in a two-point conversion. Isabella’s other first-half score came

on a 31-yard pass from Stacy to James Patterson. Coosa’s Graham added another touchdown run, from 38 yards out, with 4:46 remaining in the third quarter. The final score of the game was Stacy’s 10-yard run. Brasher was one of the few Mustangs who was able to hold onto Graham, but a fourth-quarter tackle of the quarterback forced a turnover on downs and helped keep the visitors out of the end zone in the period.

Martin rallies Rebels with 6 TDs in win at ECHS By Cory Diaz The Wetumpka Herald

Teamwork. That’s the one word Cody Martin used to describe his monstrous six-touchdown, 231-yard performance in Reeltown’s 53-42 comeback win at Elmore County on homecoming Friday night. The Rebels (3-2) relied on the senior running back all night, who kept them in the game with his 36 rushes, and sparked the 25 unanswered point run to close the game, scoring 13-yard and 1-yard touchdowns in the final 4:05. “Teamwork. Without my team this would not be possible,” he said. “Teamwork. That’s it. It’s not a one-man show, it’s all about team. “I’ve been close before, with three or four (touchdowns), but I’ve never scored six. I couldn’t do it without my line. My line and my teammates, they made it all possible.” The Panthers (3-2) held a 14-point lead with 4:34 remaining in the game, but the Rebels cashed in a fumble, which was recovered by Torran Smith, with a fiveplay, 36-yard drive capped by a 1-yard

score from Martin to cutting Elmore County’s lead to 42-41. On the ensuing kickoff, senior Kayaski Taylor recovered his own onside kick, and four plays later on a fourth-and-5, Reeltown senior quarterback Takoreyon Edwards found junior Jamon Matthews on a 50-yard touchdown pass, giving his team its first lead of the game with 1:30 to go. “You can’t turn the ball over that many times, putting them in scoring position and expect to win,” Panthers head coach Norman Dean said of his team’s six turnovers. “Reeltown is always tough. I knew that it was going to be all the way until the end. We have to knock them out, you can’t just keep playing with them. My hats off to them; coach (Jackie) O’Neal does a great job. We’ll have to restart Monday.” Both teams got off to a fast start offensively, headlined by Martin’s four rushing touchdowns, but it was Elmore County’s defense that was opportunistic in the first half. Freshman linebacker Donovan Jones picked off two Edwards’ passes in the first two quarters. The Panthers scored off

both interceptions, the first on an 11-yard touchdown from senior wide receiver Kell Floyd. ECHS reached its largest lead, 28-13 with 6:45 left in the half, off Jones’ second pick in the second quarter when Will Venable connected with Terrence Head for 40 yards for a one-play scoring drive. Head finished the night with five catches for 109 yards and two touchdowns, while Venable completed 12-of-25 passes for 200 yards with three scores and three picks. Giving up 21 points off turnovers in the first half, Reeltown was fortunate it trailed, 35-28, at the break, O’Neal said. And it was the defense that led the way in the final two quarters. “Things started to click. We hung in there the first half,” he said. “Defense was instrumental. We’ve got to start playing better defense. We came in, had a good gameplan, they just out-executed us in the first half. They were hurting us where we were vulnerable. “We had to go in, make some changes, get things right. Our kids were receptive to it, came back out, executed and never did

think they were going to lose.” The Rebels forced a Floyd fumble at the goalline to preserve a scoreless third quarter before a nine-play Elmore County, capped a by 1-yard touchdown run from senior running back Travis Rawls that put ECHS ahead, 42-28, with 4:42 to go. And then Martin took just 1:25 to score his final two touchdowns of the game. “We knew it was going to be a shootout, because we beat them last year and we knew they were going to come back hard. And it’s their homecoming,” Martin said. “I had faith in my team when we were down two (touchdowns). We’ve been in that situation before and we kept fighting, kept fighting. If one of us fell, we just picked each other up and kept fighting.” O’Neal lauded the play of the his offensive line for creating the holes for Martin. “The biggest challenge I gave was to the offensive and defensive fronts,” he said. “Offensive line I thought did a tremendous job, and if they do a good job, Cody is going to have a good running night because it’s hard to find him. He’s strong, plus he’s got speed.”

Edgewood defense shuts down Chiefs By Kevin Taylor The Wetumpka Herald

Another Friday night; another win for Edgewood Academy. The top-ranked team in the Alabama Independent School Athletic Association play almost the most perfect game it could against an overmatched Lakeside team at Charles P. Storrs Field. Edgewood (6-0) extended the nation’s active high school football winning streak to 64 games by limiting the Chiefs to 75 yards of total offense in a 57-7 decision. In a game which the Wildcats never punted and forced a running clock just before intermission, Edgewood’s defense was overshadowed once again by the gaudy offensive numbers. Starting quarterback Nathan Rourke completed 14 of 15 passes for 253 yards and four touchdowns in just one half of work. Still, Edgewood coach Bobby Carr does not let his team get complacent. “We challenge the kids each week to work hard each day so that they are more

prepared on Fridays than they were on Mondays,” he said. “And they take that to heart and prove it like they did here tonight.” Edgewood jumped out to a 21-0 lead

by the end of the opening quarter on two touchdown strikes of 34 yards to Jackson Tate and 13 yards to Maurice Young. Tyler Prince, who led the team in rushing with 51 yards on five carries,

tacked on a 4-yard TD run. While Rourke has proven to be a threat throwing the ball, he also showed he can run. He added another score on a 10-yard sprint to the end zone pylon, while throwing his third TD of the night to Daniel Green from 35 yards out. Rourke finished his night with one more touchdown pass to Tate from 23 yards out to take a 44-0 lead into intermission. Reserve players Tripp Carr and Antonio Simmons added touchdown runs of 21 and 22 yards, respectively to close out the Wildcats’ offensive for another Friday night. Lakeside David Fuller, who led the team with 65 yards rushing on 10 carries, found paydirt from 56 yards out to help the Chiefs avoid the shutout. Lakeside finished the night with 75 yards of total offense and four first downs, while its opponent closed the game with 475 yards of total offense. Edgewood will step out of region play next week to travel to Cecil to face Macon-East.

Holtville falls to Catholic, loses quarterback to injury By Jim Plott For The Wetumpka Herald

Holtville had two late scores, but it was too little and too late for the winless Bulldogs to spoil a homecoming for the Catholic Knights who took a 33-14 win Friday night. The Bulldogs (0-6) fell behind early and never could muster enough drive in the loss which also saw quarterback Reece Burbage go down with an injury and have to be taken out by ambulance. The status of his injury remained unclear shortly after the ballgame ended.

“We were outcoached and outplayed and it starts with me,” said Holtville coach Hunter Adams. “We had inconsistencies all night. We put ourselves in bad situations with penalties.” Catholic had taken a 33-0 lead before Holtville was able to score, but the Bulldogs had opportunities throughout the night to put points on the board. The Bulldogs had field goal attempts of 27 and 36 yards in the first half blocked and Holtville marched down the field to begin the fourth quarter only to have the ball intercepted in the end zone. “It hurt that we had an interception

in the end zone at the start of the fourth quarter and that could have closed it to a two score game. That hurt,” Adams said. Holtville on the scoreboard with 2:29 left in the game when quarterback Andrew Nobles, who shares quarterback duties with Burbage, scored on a 6-yard run. Nobles also made the two-point run. Nobles also threw a touchdown pass to Dajon Reeves with 1:21 left in the game shortly after the Bulldogs recovered an onside kick. The two-point try failed. Catholic got on the scoreboard early. On the second play of the game, quar-

terback Blake Johnson hit Landon Pritchett on a 60-yard touchdown pass. The Bulldogs had thrown Catholic for a 3-yard loss on the first play of the game. The Knights scored again on their second possession with 4:30 left in the first quarter. The Knights also had a touchdown run of one yard inthe third quarter followed by a 78- yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter. Catholic scored their final points on an 8-yard run. Holtville will try to regroup next week when the team travels on Friday for a region match with Childersburg.

Tallassee 28, Dadeville 22

Homecoming heaven: Tallassee tops favored Dadeville By Willie Moseley Tallassee Tribune

Members of the Tallassee High School Class of 1996 have some happy 20th reunion memories to take home, particularly since their alma mater topped the always-tough Dadeville squad in a hard-fought contest. Both teams share the “Tigers” nickname, and Tallassee’s “den” proved to be inhospitable to the visitors from the northeast Tallapoosa County. Dadeville came into the contest with a 4-1 record, and was ranked in the Alabama 4A top ten, while Tallassee, one of the smaller 5A schools in the state, was 3-2. The home team received the opening kickoff, and was driving when a pass went off the fingertips of Brady Hancock and was intercepted. DHS couldn’t get a drive going, and punted. Tallassee then drove for their first score, sparked by a 54-yard scramble by quarterback Will Peters to the Dadeville five-yard line. From there, running back Teddy Brooks took the pigskin into the end one off-tackle at the 3:31 mark. The extra point attempt was no good. Tallassee’s defense was up for the challenge of containing Dadeville’s highly-rated quarterback Shawn Jennings, and frustrated the visitors’ signal-caller all night, as exemplified by five sacks and a Felix Kennebrew interception late in the first quarter. The home Tigers team put on an impressive drive early in the second period, capped by Brooks’ run for the score, which was similar to his first touchdown. THS failed to convert for two on this touchdown as well. Dadeville mounted its own push that saw Jennings crossing the goal line, but the TD was called back due to a penalty. The visiting Tigers finally tallied a score with a pass from Jennings to Tyreke Stone at the 6:51 mark. A two-point conversion was good, but penalties on other drives would slow or stymie Dadeville’s efforts for most of the night. Later in the second quarter, Tallassee’s Jamarcus Miller intercepted a pass and returned it to the Dadeville 23, but THS couldn’t cross the goal line. The teams went into their locker rooms with Tallassee leading 12-8. Turnovers plagued the visitors in the second half as well. Early in the third session, a tipped pass was intercepted by Tallassee’s Nic Talley. Strong running by Brooks and Casey Baynes resulted in a score by Kiwanis Woods at the 8:11 mark. This time the conversion for two was good, and THS was up 20-8. Dadeville began working in other

players such as Margarius Buchanan and Kadore Glenn at the signal-calling position in addition to Jennings, who was called for intentional grounding and was also sacked by Jake Baker. Most attendees would probably contend that the game’s most memorable play happened in the fourth quarter, when Jennings was hit behind the lines by Talley. As the ball went spinning wildly out of his hand, THS senior Jeremy Noah picked up the errant pigskin, and using his teammates’ blocking, barreled 60 yards for a touchdown with 8:07 left in the game. Jennings was injured on the play, and did not return to action after he was helped off the field. Tallassee’s conversion was good, giving them a 28-8 lead, but Dadeville wasn’t finished. A drive for a TD at 6:29 (no conversion) brought the score to 28-14, and the recovery of a THS fumble at

the DHS 40 yard line with less than two minutes left yielded a score by Buchanan with 14.4 seconds left. The two-point tally made the home team’s margin 28-22, but Tallassee recovered the expected onside kick and ran out the clock. After a raucous celebration in his team’s locker room, Tallassee head coach Mike Battles Jr. noted that his team had done exactly what it had to do to win against a traditional rival like Dadeville, which, in the 2015 contest, was to control the ball on offense, and contain Jennings on defense. “Putting in game plans is easy,” the THS coach said. “Getting your kids to believe and execute the plans to perfection is very difficult, and our kids were close to perfection tonight. Even when (Dadeville) hit a play or two, we stuck with the game plan.” Battles said that his coaching staff

“made a couple of twitches at halftime, but we knew what we were up against – (Dadeville was) very athletic, very fast and big, and there was no room for error.” The THS skipper praised his offense’s efforts by emphasizing “We blocked well, and did just enough. Of course, our defense put us in some good positions with sacks and causing fumbles. The kids played a full 48 minutes. It went down to recovering an onside kick with 14 seconds left, and that’s how Dadeville-Tallassee games go. My hat’s off to the assistant coaches and the players.” Preliminary statistics indicated that Brooks was Tallassee leading rusher with 122 net yards on 20 carries, while Woods took second in the yardage tally with 43 yards. Tallassee has next weekend off, and returns to action on Oct. 9 in a road trip at Marbury.
