Sims celebrates 30 years at Dadeville Church of God
Windle named finalist for superintendent of year award
By MITCH SNEED Editor
By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
In today’s world, a person staying on the same job for 30 months is rare, let alone 30 years. But when that job is serving the Lord, and the members of the same church for three decades, it is a feat worth celebrating. Sunday members of the Dadeville Church of God honored their pastor, Rev. Jimmy Sims who has led the church for 30 years. “You all really pulled one over on me with this one,” Sims said. “I thank See SIMS • Page 5

Dadeville couple survives house fire after pet’s warning By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
A family pet is credited with saving the lives of a Dadeville couple as their home burned Friday morning. “The cat saved them,” Dadeville Fire Chief Keith Wilkerson said. “The cat jumped on the bed and woke them up. They sat up and smelled smoke.” Wilkerson explained the early Friday morning fire started in the home’s kitchen. “The fire was started by wiring in the kitchen,” Wilkerson said. Wilkerson said the couple did not escape the incident without injures. “When they opened the (bedroom) door to get out, the

flame burned them,” Wilkerson said. “Two people were injured. They had burns and were transported by Tallapoosa EMS to Birmingham.” Wilkerson said the injures did not appear to be life-threating but the home appears to be a total a loss as was a boat and two automobiles. “I don’t think it was too bad,” Wilkerson said. “She had some burns to her arms and he had burns to his face and back.” The other resident and hero of the home – the cat — is believed to have perished in the fire. “We don’t know what happened to the cat,” Wilkerson said. “We don’t know if it perished or got out and took off. The cat saved them.”

• Minutes from the Sept. 12 meeting were approved. • Harrelson said the person who had repainted the striping on several city streets earlier in the year was ready to begin phase two of the striping project. A motion to continue with this phase was passed. • Caldwell said the gas board had obtained the materials needed to finish up the gas line project between the Methodist church and Fred’s. • Smith said there would be a meeting with the East Alabama Planning Commission in order to obtain the information held by Monroe and Associates so the demolition project could continue. • Now that striping the resurfaced sections of East Lafayette Street had begun, the mayor said that project would be reaching its conclusion within the next few days. • Following last week’s meeting with representatives of ALDOT and others involved with the Courthouse Square project, the city was working on an agreement for repaving and streetscaping the road around the courthouse. “It’s going to be something nice,” Smith said. • It was believed the cleanup on the North Loop project would be completed
by the end of the week. • The weed abatement issue was still ongoing, clearing and grubbing along the right-of-way was progressing well on the 49 North Water Project, and Smith said the city was still looking for people interested in serving on the Senior Nutrition Advisory Council. • Carol Sellers from the Chamber of Commerce was on hand, reporting that Saturday’s Fall Festival had been a big hit. She thanked a number of individuals and groups who worked tirelessly to make it as big as it was and announced the chamber was currently looking at scheduling the next fall festival for Oct. 1, 2018. “The Fall Festival was one of the most successful things I’ve ever seen. I’m already ready for next year’s,” Smith said. • Smith informed the council there would be a ribbon cutting and official grand opening Friday at 10:30 a.m. at Ol’ Brothers Barbecue on Highway 49, as well as a Manufacturing Day on Friday, Oct. 6 at the Betty Carol Graham Center on the CACC campus. • A request to rent the recreation center was approved. • Caldwell asked if anything was known about the Piggly Wiggly building and what was taking place there. Smith replied the Piggly Wiggly
Windle
Corp. owned the building and was looking at filling it. • Dadeville resident Dianna Porter presented another update on the Keebler Park project. She reported having met with one of the men who worked on the security system at Smith Mountain, and had a number of ideas on how to put good security in at the park. Her ideas included putting up cables on the side road providing access to the park and signs reminding the public that the park closes at dark, among other things. She also said students from the Edward Bell Career Tech Center would be coming up in the near future with drones to take overhead images of the park. Porter also wanted to make sure the council was made aware that a new trash dumping site had sprung up in the Sandy Creek Estates subdivision. “If anyone sees someone dumping and gets a tag number or information like that, the city will prosecute,” Smith said. The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 10. The council will open their pre-council meeting at 5:30 p.m., with the regular council meeting following at 6 p.m. “I would love to see more people at city council meetings. It’s your community,” Smith said.

based on their achievements and advancement of public education and the winner announced. “It’s an honor to be selected as one of the nine district winners,” Windle said. “All the superintendents in a district vote on who the district finalist should be, and to be selected by your peers to represent your district is a great honor.” While Windle said he felt proud to be named as the finalist from District 4, an area covering approximately 20 school districts in eastern Alabama, he felt this was just as much of a testament to the hard work and dedication every employee of the
county school system, no matter what position they hold. “I know when you look at all the work being done in the county, it’s done by the schools, the central office staff, the principals, the teachers, the support staff, the custodians and everyone else. They’re the ones making all the small miracles happen every day,” he said. “We have some very dedicated employees in the county. No one does it alone.” In addition to receiving a State Superintendent of the Year ring and a luncheon thrown in his or her honor during the SSA Legislative Conference in Montgomery on Jan. 9, SSA will also provide the winner with travel expenses to represent
Alabama at the American Association of School Administrators National Conference on Education to be held in Nashville in Feb. 2018. During this conference, AASA

O
ne of the qualities that makes our area so special is the beauty nature provides us here. We have the sparkling, blue waters of Lake Martin, beautiful rolling hills, scenic rivers and streams, and historic buildings and homes all right here in Tallapoosa County. With so many great images all around us, why would anyone who calls our community home trash it? From cars rolling along Highway 280, to boaters sinking beer cans in the lake, or property owners dropping a load of trash on a rural road, we are too often seeing our own residents choosing to take the easy way out. Rather than using trash cans or hauling refuse to a landfill, they are using our beautiful county as a dump. This needs to stop. Wouldn’t it be great if our government workers didn’t have to spend countless hours picking up trash along our roads? Imagine if marine police didn’t have litter as a concern and boaters and swimmers didn’t have to worry about what was at the bottom of the lake. It would be great, wouldn’t it? Wouldn’t it be great to take a drive and not see a fast-food bag or a lit cigarette flying from the window of the vehicle in front of you? How about if all the illegal dumps were gone overnight? You know the answers to those questions. That’s why the continuing Throw Away Day events have become so important to the effort to keep our area clean. Dumpsters are strategically placed in all five commission districts in an effort sponsored by the county commissioners and Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership. The next Throw Away Day is scheduled for Oct. 9 and 10. Dumpsters will be at the following locations from 8 a.m. on Oct. 9 through 8 a.m. on Oct. 11. District 1: Alex City Annex- 395 Lee St., District 2: Double Bridges- Hwy. 63, District 3: Alex City- 2975 Pearson Chapel Rd. and Jacksons Gap- Piedmont Dr. at Hwy. 280, District 4: DadevilleYoung’s Ferry Rd. at Mullican/ Gibson Rd., District 5: Union Community Center- 4191 Hwy. 50 The following items are not allowed: liquids (including paint, paint thinners, pesticides, etc.), appliances with compressors, tires, batteries, light bulbs, TVs, computers, propane tanks, hazardous/medical waste. We ask that you take advantage of this opportunity to help rid yourself of unwanted items and help keep our community clean at the same time.

have taken a little heat recently for posting the ranting and ravings of a character known to all us Sneeds as cousin Rich. Rich claims to be from South Georgia and just really doesn’t care if the sun comes up tomorrow and there isn’t a politically correct bone in his body. Yes, there is a lot of Rich in me. I bet if we all admitted it, there is a lot Rich in all of us. What do I mean by that? There are things that people don’t know about us that we don’t admit very often. Things that if you added them all up people may say that we were weird, a redneck, dumb, backwards or uncultured. I know that I have a long list of those things. In the hopes that it will all make us realize that is OK to be unique. I will share a few here today: • I like to stop and talk to random people on the street or at the grocery store. • I still like to watch pro wrestling, even if the old stuff was much better. • I like fried bologna and mustard. I don’t care if that was Carl from “Slingblade’s” favorite meal or not. I like the taste. • My favorite clothes are a T-shirt with Chris Farley on it that is full of holes and an old pair of P.E. shorts. • I belch every time I eat
I had a good friend tell me something once that made a lot of sense and I have tried to take it to heart over the years. “Mitch, the truth is people don’t spend a whole lot of MITCH SNEED time thinking about you and Editor not nearly as much time as you think they do,” Bill said. “I found out a long time ago salad or drink a Sprite.

The man cave that never was T here’s been a little room next to the kitchen that’s been underutilized since Lucy has been in this house, unless you count storing junk as proper usage. There’s nothing wrong with a junk room. They are handy to have around. If you somehow find yourself in possession of excess anything, you just put it in the junk room. I had a better idea for it, though. I wanted to turn it into my office / man cave / “Calgon take me away” area. The 10-year-old has a room. Abigail has a room and a womb, and she’s still 10 weeks away. Lucy pretty much has the whole rest of the house. I needed my, dare I say, safe space. Lucy was fully supportive of me cleaning out the room, as it gave her the opportunity to see exactly what all was in there. Some of it had been in there for the two years she’s been here. I wasn’t sure what I’d find. I feared I’d find a critter or two, but that was not the case. Once I got things cleared out, I could see the writing on the wall. Literally. There was writing on the wall. Honestly, it didn’t faze me. The wall was going to be adorned with Army, comedy, and Auburn décor anyway.

The Dadeville Record
Sejin continues giving ways in Dadeville By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Like it has been doing since coming to the William T. Thweatt Industrial Park in Dadeville in 2007, Sejin once again handed out checks to organizations in the community. “We are very proud to be here to present just a token of our appreciation for what every one of you do in our community,” said Sejin’s Reid Davenport. “If it were not for you we would not be able to do what we do to operate our business. Monday, representatives from the Tallapoosa County Schools, the Dadeville police and fire departments, the Dadeville Area Chamber of Commerce and the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department were on hand to collect donations. Dadeville Mayor Wayne Smith was happy to see the company’s latest community efforts. “Sejin is a wonderful part of our community,” Smith said. “We enjoy having you guys here. We appreciate what you put in the community. We appreciate your participation in our community.” Sejin is an automobile parts manufacture mainly supplying Kia and Hyundai. Lake Martin Area Economic Development Alliance Executive Director Don McClellan is proud of Sejin’s investment not only in business operations but in the community as well. “Sejin has always been a partner in the community since coming here in 2007,” McClellan said. “They have invested over $70 million and employ over 600 people. What else can you ask for?” McClellan joked that it was easy to get a crowd to gather at the Dadeville City Hall for the presentations. “It is not hard to get people to show up to accept money,” McClellan said. “Even the chief of police showed up.” Davenport says this tradition started with Sejin’s parent company in Korea and plans to keep it going. “The philosophy of Sejin in Korea has Cliff Williams / The Record been passed down here to support our Top, Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett accepts a check from Sejin’s J.H.

Rev. Jimmy Sims was honored for 30 years of service to the Dadeville Church of God Sunday. His family posed with him following the service. Pictured are Cindy Sims, Amari Marbury, Jimmy Sims, Alexis Marbury, Zach Sims, back row Michal Sims , Alex Sims, Annette Sims, April Marbury and Undra Marbury.
you all for allowing me to serve you and serve the Lord here at Dadeville Church of God. People ask me why have you been there 30 years. I tell them why would I go anywhere else. This is home. Plus, if I went somewhere else, I may not know what I’m up against there, I tell them I already know the devils I’m fighting here.” That line brought laughter and applause from the nearly 80 people gathered to honor Sims. Those who knew Sims early in life would have probably bet the farm that him being a preacher, much less being at the same church for 30 years, wouldn’t be the case. Sunday Sims recalled being saved on a night 35 years ago at Marshall Street Church of God. “I can’t thank everyone enough for all of this,” Sims said. “Who would have ever thought this would have happened 35 years ago. I thank God every day for letting a lost, hurting, drunk man walk into that church and walk out a saved man.” Six month later, Sims made the decision to serve the Lord through the ministry and a few
years later found a home at Dadeville Church of God. He and his wife Annette and their entire family have ushered the church through good times and bad, but Sims said “every minute has been a blessing.” Rev. Mark Ledbetter, who was the pastor at Marshall Street at the time that Sims was saved delivered the sermon Sunday and told the congregation
that the greatest gift the congregation could give Sims was the gift of prayer. Church members and his family all shared memories of how Sims had touched their lives and how much he has meant to them. His granddaughter Alexis Marbury read a story she had written about the relationship between Sims and his wife Annette, recalling how they met, married after just one date

at the drive-in and how their song was Conway Twitty’s “Hello Darlin.’” She talked about how they moved into a trailer with nothing more than a one frying pan and a coffee pot and how Annette took a job at the mill
and he went to work for Alexander City “hanging on the back of a garbage truck.” Through it all, she said he always showed he had good in his heart. “My grandmother’s father didn’t know what
to make of him and didn’t like him much,” She read. “So he gave him $100 and asked him to hold on to it until he needed it back just to see if he could trust him. When the time came and he asked for, he had it right there ready for him.”

The History Of Happy Birthday!
Party Hat Shadow Match Which party hat shadow matches the original?
Celebrating your birthday is a very common tradition in the United States. While some people prefer not to for various reasons, almost everyone at some point has seen someone else receive a birthday present or a candlelit birthday cake, but everyone has heard the song “Happy Birthday.” The celebration of birthdays goes back thousands of years. Celebrating the accomplishment of living for another year (which was not easy many centuries ago) dates back thousands of years. In the Middle Ages in Germany, cakes became a common birthday treat IRU FKLOGUHQ RQ WKHLU VSHFLDO GD\ ZKLFK ZDV FDOOHG .LQGHUIHVW 7KH ¿UVW FDNHV ZHUH OHVV FDNH like and more like sweet bread. For the poor, cake was often a very special gift because sugar ZDV VRPHWKLQJ WKDW RQO\ WKH ULFK FRXOG DႇRUG 7KHUH DUH VHYHUDO WKHRULHV RQ ZK\ FDQGOHV DUH used, but no matter why, they are a standard tradition today. The song “Happy Birthday” has an interesting history. The song’s melody was written by two sisters, Mildred and Patty Hill, in 1893. The Hills, who were school teachers, wrote the melody “Good Morning To All” for their elementary school students. It is the same tune used to sing “Happy Birthday.” Over the years, the popular lyrics to “Happy Birthday” were used. Since then, there have been many disagreements and legal battles over who actually wrote the lyrics to the “Happy Birthday” song. One thing, however, is certain; it is the most popular song in the World! Happy Birthday, everyone!

Left: Holtville’s Kelandre Baker tries to avoid Dadeville’s Max McClendon on Friday. Tiger coach Richard White said McClendon was one of the biggest standouts on defense last week. Right: Neither Dadeville’s Jalen Sullivan or Holtville’s Dajon Reeves are able to come with a Holtville pass last week.

“They’re more organized and they’ve got kids playing hard. They’re going to be a handful. They have a lot of kids, so I hope it doesn’t get into a ‘We can play more kids than you can play’ situation because that wears us out.” White said Valley’s offense looks eerily similar to Auburn University’s with a lot of counters and run-pass option. “We don’t run a lot of option, but we work on defending it,” White said. “That’s the
first thing you have to learn as a defensive football team because if you can’t defend the option, you’re not a very good defensive football team.” Running back Brandon Smith is the biggest threat for the Rams. He is 6-foot-0 and 190 pounds. Other players to look out for will be linebacker Lagarian Hutchinson and quarterback Darrell Dunn. But Dadeville should be able to match Valley shot for shot, as it is coming off its best
Tigers respond after dropping third set By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
A senior-laden volleyball squad, the expectations and goals are extremely high for the Dadeville Tigers. So far, they’re off to a great start. With only one match loss under their belts, the Tigers are right where they want to be at this point in the season, but there are still some areas that need improvement. “I think we need to work on more consistency — thinking about what we did well on one point and doing it during all
the other points,” Dadeville’s Amaya Hatcher said. “We’re known for the roller coaster thing, as our old coach used to say. Every game is a work in progress, but we still need to work on that.” That up-and-down for Dadeville was apparent on Monday afternoon against Horseshoe Bend, which is nearly the opposite of the Tigers’ makeup. While Dadeville boasts very few underclassmen, the Generals have just one senior on their roster and were clearly the underdog Monday. See VOLLEYBALL • Page 11
offensive performance of the season. The Tigers amassed 554 yards of offense in last week’s game against Holtville. Jeff Rice, who has been out with a shoulder sprain, could see some time at quarterback, but White said Slade McCullers has been playing well in his absence. “I thought (Slade) directed the team the way it needed to be directed, getting the plays in and out and making sure we See DADEVILLE • Page 11
Bye coming at the right time for Rebels By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Dadeville’s LiDiamond Johnson puts up a serve against Horseshoe Bend on Monday.
The injury bug has bitten Reeltown hard recently. Top running back Keke Hughley suffered a season-ending injury against Horseshoe Bend two weeks ago, then last week against Lanett, both Cameron Faison and Trey O’Neal were hurt. While Faison and O’Neal aren’t expected to miss any playing time, Reeltown certainly couldn’t have asked for a better time to be on a bye week. “We went to some dire circumstances there with some players going out,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. Faison suffered a separated shoulder and is currently day-to-day, while O’Neal had a neck injury and was taken out on a See REBELS • Page 11

get it perfect, then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get in the game and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just have brain farts. We do things uncharacteristic of offensive linemen, but we only have two that have played varsity football at all.â&#x20AC;? There are several small things Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tigers are hoping to clean up if they still have a shot at making the playoffs. Dadeville continues to struggle with giving up big plays, and it has given up too many fumbles for Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s liking. He also said there have been things as simple as poor tackling, lining up incorrectly on defense and blown coverages the Tigers will need to improve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing a team equal or a little better than us, those things could come back and bite us, so those are the things we have to clean up real quick,â&#x20AC;?

Glenn explodes for more than 300 yards By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Dadeville offensive coordinator Kyle Caldwell has come up with the perfect nickname for the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; explosive running back duo of Kadore Glenn and Qua Tucker. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He calls them Thunder and Lightning,â&#x20AC;? Dadeville coach Richard White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You put Lightning back there, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Qua, then you put Thunder back there, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Kadore. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give defenses a break when you swap one of them for the other. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got more speed in one than the other, but youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got more power in one than the other, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a combination of the two.â&#x20AC;? Although Tucker had more than 100 yards in the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; victory over Holtville on Friday, it was Glennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s explosiveness that really ensured the victory.

Glenn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have good vision, and Coach always tells me to be patient and the holes will open. I just kept doing that, and the holes kept opening, so I kept hitting them.â&#x20AC;? Glenn is an aggressive running back. He stands at 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, but White said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s solid muscle. Add onto that incredible speed, and the Tigers have a serious weapon in Glenn. He scored touchdowns of 63, 50 and 61 yards and
averaged 14.6 yards per carry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It helped that our offensive line popped some open for him,â&#x20AC;? White said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We got in a couple situations where we opened up a hole, and he hit a crease. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a legit 4.5 (in the 40-yard dash), and he might be faster than that because he ran away from everybody. He ran away from a kid from Leeds.â&#x20AC;?

Reeltownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cameron Faison (2) shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t miss any time after suffering an injury against Lanett last week.
Faison for too long. Although just a sophomore, Faison has emerged as one of the Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; top skill players, and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also been a bright spot on special teams. He had a kickoff returned for a 75-yard score against Lanett. Because of the Panthersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; speed, Faison was even moved to outside linebacker on Friday to try to match the quickness of Lanett. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cam has come a long way,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s developed into a
great player for us. He has a relentless attitude. Friday night, second half, he was getting his stuff on and wanted to come back in to play. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just real relentless, has a great attitude, and he practices hard every day. He really gets after it.â&#x20AC;? With five games looming in the second half of the season, Reeltown (2-3, 2-1) is currently tied with Ranburne for third in Class 2A Region 5.
Volleyball Dadeville went to work early on, picking up 25-11 and 25-14 victories in the first two sets. Although the Generals didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t play to the best of their abilities, the Tigers also looked on their game. But that changed in Set 3 as Horseshoe Bend turned up the heat. The Generals led by just one point midway through the frame before a long service run by Ashley Clanton put Horseshoe Bend ahead 19-13. Despite a series of blocks and kills from Dadevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Quanesha Presley, the Tigers never could catch up. They lost,

stretcher, but Johnson said that was mostly precautionary. Tre Tre Hughley picked up a lot of the slack at the running back position when Faison went down in the second quarter, but a lot was being asked of him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tre Tre plays every snap on defense, so when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re missing Cam, you lose that rotation,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went to (fullback) Jordan Whitlow and Kolby Coan came in and played some at tailback.â&#x20AC;? After a loss to Lanett â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Rebelsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first in the region â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Reeltown will take this break in the action to regroup and take some time to focus on itself. Next up for the Rebels is Ranburne, and although the coaching staff has the Bulldogs broken down, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take some time for themselves first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first couple of days weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to focus on us then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll transition over to game-planning,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The bye week is huge, but at the same time, we gotta be smart. You wanna get out there and be physical and set the tone, but with our injuries and our bodies, the way weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re beat up right now, we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do that. We gotta be smart in how we practice and still get something out of it.â&#x20AC;? With Keke Hughley out, Reeltown has to be happy it wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lose

25-16. Then once again, the tides changed, this time in favor of the home team Dadeville. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was tired of the game, honestly,â&#x20AC;? Hatcher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really wanted to get out of there and do the best I could to get the game over with. Us going into a fourth game shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have happened in the first place, so we had to bring it back.â&#x20AC;? Service runs by Hatcher and LiDiamond Johnson put Horseshoe Bend in a deficit it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t recover from. As is Dadevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s M.O., the Tigers put their heavy
hitters to work in the fourth set and came away with a 25-14 victory. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We work on hitting a lot in our practices, and we honestly really rely on our hitters to dominate,â&#x20AC;? Hatcher said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With how strong we are, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no way they can bring it back. Our main focus is always to swing no matter what, if itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in our out, because they might get scared and not want to hit it back. Hitting with us is our strong point, and we make it their weakness.â&#x20AC;? Leading 19-14 in the fourth set, Dadevilleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Johnson knocked down a
kill to put the ball in the service hands of Tiffany Rice, who had four aces in the last five points to set the final score. Nearing the halfway point of the season, Dadeville is still looking strong. One of the Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; biggest attributes seems to be their communication on the court. Between knowing when to tip and when to lay down a strong spike and knowing whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hot defensively, the Tigers have had strong communication that has allowed them to come back from a few setbacks this season.

Delphic Club meets, presents ARISE program STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
The Delphic Club met Sept. 7 in the fellowship hall of First United Methodist Church Dadeville. Attending the meeting were the following members: Mary Belser, Carole Birchfield, LaNell Black, Robin Burson, Cheryl Bynum, Barbara Cole, Kay Dickey, Sharon Dollar, Barbara Dotson, Mary Rush Embry, Suzy Farrington, Jane Ferguson, Sharon Gaither, Helen Harber, Jane Milton, Martha Perry, Wanda Ryals, Elaine Toney, Gale Walker, Elsie Jo Washburn and Brenda Holden.

The decoration followed a red, white and blue them to go along with the upcoming Patriot Day, Sept. 11. Gaither presented a devotional reminding the group of what Patriot Day is, as it is a remembrance of 9/11. There will be a minute of silence that morning throughout the nation during which to remember the events of that horrific morning and those who died. She then suggested that the basis for continued hope is our God. She quoted several Psalms and familiar scripture from Romans that offer comfort during hard times. Birchfield introduced the program which was presented by Presdelane Harris, the organizing director for the ARISE program in Alabama. She presented a very informative program about that organization which focuses on efforts to help low income citizens of the State of Alabama. The ARISE program attempts to affect public policy and is supported by individuals and groups throughout the state. She was gracious and knowledgeable in answering questions and all enjoyed here presentation. Black reminded the group that the next meeting would be Oct. 5 at First United Methodist Church with Perry and Tammy Hathcock as hostesses and Belser in charge of the program.

Dadeville Kiwanis installs new slate of officers By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
The Division 10 Secretary for the Alabama Kiwanis Club, Pat Manasco was the special guest at Thursday’s meeting of the Dadeville Kiwanis Club to help install the new officers for the upcoming year. The meeting began with a few comments from outgoing President Brenda Floyd, speaking on what the past year has meant to her. “I’m happy for all the support you all have given me this past year,” she said. “I’m happy we had such a great year for Kiwanis Club.” Manasco had nothing but good things to say about the members of the Dadeville Kiwanis, as well as the members of the Key Club at Dadeville High School who were present Thursday afternoon.
“It makes me so happy to see all the Key Clubbers here with you today. Our young people are the greatest,” she said. Manasco also took time to recognize the hard work and effort the club’s board members put in every day. The officers installed Thursday were President Chris Kizziah, Treasurer Kim Russell and Secretary Linda Andrews, taking over the position following Betty Hayes’ 27-year stint as secretary for the club. “Ms. Betty, nobody can ever replace you,” Manasco said. “They may take your place, but they can never replace you.” During the installation ceremony, Hayes pinned Andrews with a Kiwanis Club pin to designate her as a club officer, while Floyd did the same with Kizziah. Despite her term as president being over, Manasco reminded Floyd her job

Benjamin Russell upsets Opelika By LIZI ARBOGAST Managing Sports Editor
The list goes on and on for reasons why Benjamin Russell was so excited to secure a 19-14 victory over Opelika on Friday night.
Here’s just a few to choose from: • The Bulldogs (3-2, 1-1) were ranked No. 5 in the Alabama Sports Writers Association Class 6A state rankings poll. • This group of Benjamin Russell seniors has never beaten Opelika before.

The last time the Wildcats won was in 2012 and they’ve done it only once in coach Danny Horn’s tenure. • Originally, Opelika was favored to win Class 6A Region 3 — it is the defending region champion. • Opelika’s also considered to be one
of BRHS’ biggest rivals. “It means a lot,” Benjamin Russell senior Ben Hendrix said. “My class has never beat Opelika. Ninth-grade year, they beat us 56-18; 10th-grade year, we See WILDCATS • Page 3

were close, but then last year, they beat us 34-0, so that meant a lot to come out and win this game.” Horn added, “We played against a very good team tonight, and we stepped up. Defense played great all game long, and offense, as the game went on, we got in a little bit better rhythm. We let them slip back in the game, but they’re a good football team.” Benjamin Russell (4-0, 2-0), which remains undefeated and still is atop the region standings, looked like it had the game in the bag late in the fourth quarter with a 19-0 lead. It forced a punt on third down with about five minutes remaining, which put Opelika in a fourth-and-long situation. The Bulldogs punted it away, and Benjamin Russell needed just a few plays to secure the victory. But the Wildcats went threeand-out, and on the ensuing punt return, Jamais Presley ran it back 44 yards to stave off the shutout. Then the unthinkable happened, as Opelika recovered the onside kick, and just two plays later, Presley found Jorden Heard on a long passing play. Heard scored a 49-yard touchdown to make it 19-14, but finally the Wildcats made the stop they needed. “I was just thinking, ‘Oooh, we gotta hold on, gotta get a stop here,’” BRHS linebacker Jaden Tuck said. “We know we’ve been stopping the run all year, and they got us on the pass, but we knew if they tried to run it, we were going to get them. They tried it on the goal line (for the two-point conversion), and we stopped them just a yard short.” Once again, Benjamin Russell had bent but it didn’t break. Opelika attempted another

onside kick, and it bounced around the field like a yo-yo before Wildcat senior Tyler Watts fell on it and secured the final victory. “It was something serious,” Watts said. “We gotta just stay focused and not let that happen anymore. We settled down. We work on (onside kicks) in practice, and I knew if we could get the ball, we would seal the deal. It came to me, so I just did my job.” Defense was the name of the game for the Wildcats, as it has been for four games in a row now. Although they let their second straight shutout slip just out of reach, they held a hefty offense to just 164 yards on total offense and only 58 rushing yards. “I knew we were going to get
better, and these last two games, we have done that,” Horn said. “We’ve got to learn to stop the deep ball, and we did a pretty good job of that until that last one. We did a good job stopping the run, and if you can keep them one dimensional, it’s in your favor. Coach (Steve) Burkhalter and the rest of the defensive staff have done a really good job all year long.” Hendrix said, “We stopped the run, and that was the main thing. We made them pass, and we were stopping the pass there until the end. The defense did an awesome job tonight. That one touchdown was a special teams touchdown, and that second one was a long pass, but we can take that. We won the game, it was a big game and now we’re 4-0.”

Tigers versus Lions: Anyone’s game until fatal fourth By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer
Tallassee played a furious game on the home turf of the Munford Lions, keeping within striking distance until the bitter end of the last quarter when MHS scored the fatal touchdown ending the game, 19-6. Tallassee is now 2-1 in regional play and 4-1 for the season with its first loss Friday versus Munford High School in Talladega County. Munford crushed Holtville High School in its game last week and remains undefeated in the region but lost early in its
first game, giving the Lions a 4-1 season record. Friday, Tallassee was on the road for the roughly two-hour trip to Munford, and brought with the team a substantial turnout of fans to line the guest bleachers. The first half of the game appeared to hold the most potential for the Tigers, bringing with it the only points they got past a Lions defense for the night in the second quarter of game play. Junior running back Markevious Mathews was the team’s only scorer for the night with a rushing touchdown
about three minutes into the quarter. Munford came out strong and drew the lead quickly scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter. The Lions were so strong in fact that on the opening kickoff, they got their first six points on the scoreboard, leaving Tallassee to fight back from a deficit on the first play of the game. “Well, we started off in the hole,” Battles said. “We let them return opening kickoff for a touchdown, so that put us in a hole but our kids battled back. They got a really good football
team. They play a lot of players. Their kids play hard.” After the game, Battles seemed calm, collected and satisfied with his team’s performance against a team that is proving itself to be a powerhouse in the region. “Our kids fought back we made a couple of stops down there on the goal line and we were in the game all the way, right there to the end,” Battles said. “It was a one possession game until about a minute-anda-half left in the game. “We played well. We got some room for improvement. Offensively, we had a hard time

Indians give Chilton County 56-19 whipping By DAVID GRANGER Managing Editor
There was no pumpkin spiceflavored coffee available at the concession stand, but the faithful followers of the Wetumpka Indians that jammed Hohenberg Field Friday night enjoyed the first few hours of fall without it, roaring their approval from kickoff until the final horn ended a 56-19 homecoming rout of Chilton County by the sixth-ranked homestanders in the 75th meeting of Class 6A Region 3 rivals. The Indians scored 28 points in the first quarter and never looked back. Quarterback JD Martin rushed for touchdowns of 12, 37 and 19 yards and accounted for 137 yards of rushing and passing combined in less than
a full half of play. Senior running back Kavosiey Smoke rushed for 57 yards and two touchdowns on seven carries in playing the same amount of time as Martin. “I’m just really proud of our guys,” said Wetumpka head coach Tim Perry, who saw his team improve to 5-0, 2-0 in region play. “Homecoming’s an unusual week. There’s a lot of distractions, a lot of things going on. It’s not a normal school week at all. Our concern as a coaching staff was to make sure our kids stayed focused with all the different distractions and traditions and festivities of homecoming. We challenged our guys today after the pregame meal to block all that stuff out and put our focus on this region opponent.
“We wanted to stay undefeated at home and keep trying to climb the ladder toward the region championship. I’m just proud of our guys and proud of our coaching staff for the job they did keeping our guys focused.” With the game put away early, Perry emptied the benches. Wetumpka played three different quarterbacks, the starter being the only one without a touchdown pass, and several different running backs. The scoring slowed down a bit after the Martin-Smoke Show in the first quarter, but there were other highlights. Keedrick Adams caught five of the passes the trio of Indian quarterbacks completed for 83 yards and a touchdown. Robert LaPrade had a touch-
down run of 53 yards and finished behind only Martin in rushing for the team with five carries for 60 yards. The most plays it took the Indians to score among their four firstquarter touchdown drives was eight on the 64-yard march, capped by a 1-yard Smoke run from the wildcat, that made the score 28-6 with just 25 seconds left to go in the period. The other three Indian drives of 30, 55 and 32 yards took four, four and three plays, respectively. Martin scored on a 12-yard run to get things started, Smoke scored from 5 out a little more than two minutes later and Martin went up the middle on a quarterback draw from 37 yards out and the Indians had jumped to a 21-0 lead.

Dadeville 48, Holtville 26
Dadeville rebounds with homecoming victory over Holtville By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
The Dadeville Tigers rebounded from a disappointing 28-14 loss against Leeds to defeat the Holtville Bulldogs 48-26 on homecoming night. Despite making several mistakes on both sides of the ball, including three fumbles, an interception and several defensive miscues leading to big Holtville plays, Kadore Glenn and Qua Tucker combined for over 400 rushing yards and six of Dadeville’s seven touchdowns. “We just had to win. It’s a region game, and we’ve got to get out of the losing bracket and get in the win column in our region,” Dadeville coach Richard White said. “Our kids played hard. We still had some silly mistakes and we gave up points we shouldn’t have gave up.” “We just had to come in and stick to the gameplan,” Tucker said after rushing for 141 yards and three touchdowns in the victory. “I just kept looking for a big push and an open seam, that’s it.” Similar to the game against Leeds, the Tigers jumped out to a quick lead, scoring on their first possession of the game with a 63-yard rush from Glenn halfway through the first quarter. After its next possession ended with a punt, Dadeville scored on four consecutive drives in the second quarter. The first came on a 34-yard strike from Slade McCullers to Jalen Sullivan, before Glenn reeled off a 50-yard rush and Tucker pounded it in twice, once from 3 yards out and another from the Dadeville 46. Holtville responded twice late in the first half to make the score 35-14 at halftime. Following Glenn’s 50-yard touchdown, a few pitches on the ensuing kickoff put the Bulldogs in an ideal position to start their drive: first and goal at the 1-yard line.

Panthers fight hard but come up short to Childersburg By EVAN DUDLEY Herald Sports Editor
After defeating the defending state champion last week, Elmore County was renewed with energy and promise and played with the newfound energy, but it was not enough to overcome stingy defense on a humid and unseasonably warm night. The Elmore County Panthers (1-4, 1-2) traveled to face the Childersburg Tigers (3-2, 2-1) Friday night but came
away dejected after a close 14-7 contest ruled by defense. The Panthers held Childersburg to 199 total yards and recovered two fumbles but gave away two fumbles of their own, with one being returned for the opening score. The Panthers hit the field to start the contest after a failed onside kick attempt by Childersburg. Elmore County drove to the 14-yard line but a holding call on a DJ Patrick run into the end zone negated the play. The Panthers eventually settled for
a 47-yard field goal attempt by Joe Stockman that was partially blocked and failed to make it through the uprights. Childersburg drove into Panther territory on its first possession but a sack of quarterback Jelan Kidd forced the Tigers to punt back to the Panthers. Elmore County continued to impose its will on the ground but a Donovon Jones fumble was picked up by Takairee Kenebrew and returned 52 yards for the touchdown. Kidd hit Isaiah Jones for a
2-point conversion and the Tigers led 8-0 with 10 minutes remaining in the first half. The Panthers fumbled again on their next possession but the Tigers gave the ball back six plays later on a fumble by Kidd. Elmore County drove to midfield but failed on a fourth-down conversion giving the ball back to Childersburg with just more than a minute left in the second quarter.

Stanhope Elmore 25, Northview 19 OT
Stanhope Elmore ekes out victory in OT By JON JOHNSON Dothan Eagle
DOTHAN - Stanhope Elmore didn’t waste any time making Northview pay for an overtime miscue. Tailback Tray Duncan scored on the first play of the extra period for the Mustangs when he took a handoff, darted inside, then found a crease over the left side in running 10 yards for a touchdown and a 25-19 win over Northview at Rip Hewes Stadium on Friday night. Northview, which had the ball first in overtime, lost its chance to strike first when a snap to quarterback Grayson Davis in the shotgun on second-and-9 went off his hands and was recovered by the Mustangs deep in the backfield. Northview falls to 1-4 overall and 0-3 in region play, while Stanhope Elmore won its first game of the season and is now 1-3 overall, 1-1 in region play. In what was a defensive battle in the second half, the only points on the final two quarters of regulation came when Northview’s Jack Martin booted through a 30-yard field goal with 6:53 to play in the third quarter. Martin had made a 37-yarder on the
final play of the first half to pull the Cougars within 19-16 heading to the locker room. Northview took on a different look offensively in the game. The Cougars relied more on its passing attack than what they had shown in the first four games of the season. Davis attempted 20 passes in the game and connected on several long ones, but an interception by Krystopher Chapman stopped a Cougars’ drive on their final attempt in regulation. For the game, Davis was 11 of 20 for 142 yards and two interceptions. He also rushed for 75 yards on 10 carries. Northview had taken over with 2:04 left in the game following a punt. Davis connected with TJ Ford on a 24-yard reception to take the ball down to the Mustangs’ 36. On second-and-9 from the 35, Davis was picked off and it was returned to the 42 of Stanhope Elmore, but a block in the back penalty pushed the Mustangs back to their 14 with just 57 seconds remaining in regulation. Quarterback Johnny Montgomery connected with Conner Bradford on a 6-yard pass on first down. On second, Duncan was stopped after a 1-yard See MUSTANGS • Page 11

Horseshoe Bend 28, Ranburne 15
Horseshoe Bend takes down Ranburne By TIM ALTORK The Randolph Leader
A bevy of penalties tends to be demoralizing for the team that commits them. On Friday night in Ranburne, Horseshoe Bend turned those flags —13 of them to be exact—into motivation. “Some of those calls, some of those flags weren’t going our way and it kind of got us riled up a little bit. Sometimes you need that for that little spark,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett said. The result was a critical 28-15 win for the Generals that kept their postseason hopes alive after an 0-2 start in region play. “Starting off 0-2 is not where we wanted to be, but you play the hand you’re dealt,” Averett said. “Every one’s a must-win now. We’re one step closer.” The pile of penalty flags didn’t stop the Generals from building a two-touchdown lead at the half, thanks to three big plays of over 60 yards, one of which came from the defense. Ranburne was in the midst of a 13-play drive on its opening possession of the game when Trace Meadows scooped up an Aaron Benefield fumble in the Ranburne backfield and ran it back 62 yards for an 8-0 Horseshoe Bend lead. And Meadows was just getting started in what turned out to be the decisive stretch of the game. After Ranburne tied the score on a 1-yard touchdown run from Sam Calvert early in the second quarter, Meadows took the first play of the ensuing possession 62-yards down
the sideline to put the Generals right back on top. Horseshoe Bend then forced Ranburne into a three and out, and on the second play of their following possession, Generals quarterback Cade Worthy found Luke Yarbrough open on the left hash, where Yarbrough hauled it in and ran the rest of the way for a 66-yard score. That play put Horseshoe Bend up 22-8, and the Generals’ defense made that lead stand up in the second half. “The defense has been playing well all year. Tonight was another example,” Averett said. “I know we still gave up 15 points, but it was a hard-fought 15 points. Just proud of those guys, proud of the way they played.” Meadows finished with 17 carries for 106 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. His 6-yard touchdown run on Horseshoe Bend’s first possession of the second half gave his team a 28-8 lead. Worthy balanced out that ground attack as he completed 8-of-13 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown, without an interception. Yarbrough finished with 93 yards and a score on three receptions. The Horseshoe Bend defense forced four turnovers, including interceptions from Nywanski Russell and Nalijah Heard. The win gives Horseshoe Bend its first win in Class 2A Region 5 play after prior losses to Reeltown and Lanett. The Generals are now 2-2 overall and 1-2 in region play. The loss drops Ranburne to 2-2 overall and 2-1 in the region.

third down to end the half. The Elmore County defense played with tremendous resolve after holding defending champion Handley to 14 points last week but a renewed focus is on the minds of the Panthers despite holding Childersburg to less than 200 yards of total offense. “We knew we played well but it wasn’t enough tonight,” linebacker Thomas Bass said. “We have to focus and execute every play from here on out.” The second half began with an exchange of punts from both teams but Kidd found the end zone for the Tigers on their second possession on a 6-yard run to increase

Childersburg’s lead to 14-0. Elmore County responded nine plays later, after driving 67 yards, on a 5-yard touchdown run from Jones. Both defenses stood tall following the Jones touchdown run but a failed fourth-down conversion by the Tigers gave the Panthers new life and the ball back at their own 26-yard line. Quarterback Terrence Head hit DJ Patrick for a 20-yard gain and the Panthers came as close as the 15-yard line but a Head pass to Jones fell incomplete on fourth down and the Tigers managed to escape with the 14-7 victory. Head coach Norman Dean
was pleased with the effort but was despondent when asked about turnovers and timely penalties. “We played hard but have to quit shooting ourselves in the foot when we have chances to score,” he said. “We can’t give other teams points and expect to come out on top.” The Panthers return to action Friday against the Montgomery Catholic Knights (3-1, 1-1), who were on a bye, in a Class 4A non-region showdown. Elmore County has only one win on the season but are still in position to claim a playoff spot with a strong finish to the season.

Mustangs gain and the Mustangs decided to let the clock run out and take their chances in overtime instead of running another play. With Northview getting the ball first in the OT, Malachi Harvey ran for 1 yard on first down before the snap got away from Davis on second down. Duncan then ended it in a hurry with his touchdown run in the extra period. For the game, he rushed for 76 yards on 16 carries. Northview struck first in the game when Harvey broke loose on a 25-yard touchdown run over the left side with 8:41 to play in the first quarter. Martin kicked through the extra point for the 7-0 lead. The Cougars had started the series on the 25 after Raymond Lowe returned a punt 10 yards on the previous play. Stanhope Elmore had started its first offensive series deep in its own territory
continued from page 9
after a beautiful Martin punt rolled dead at the 2-yard line. The Cougars’ defense, which played well most the night, held the Mustangs to a three-and-out to force the punt and set Northview up in good position to put the first points on the scoreboard. Stanhope Elmore responded with a long drive following the early Northview lead, going 80 yards in 13 plays. The Mustangs scored when Montgomery connected with Derrion Ashley over the middle with a 24-yard scoring toss. Bradford added the PAT kick to tie it at 7-7 with 1:47 to play in the opening quarter. Stanhope Elmore took advantage of Northview’s first fumble of the game on the ensuing series to further its lead. Davis was hit in the backfield as he went back to throw and the ball rolled loose all the way down to the Cougars’ 5-yard line before being recovered by
Derrick Butler of the Mustangs. Stanhope Elmore scored as Duncan ran it in from 2 yards out on a third down play. The extra point kick was missed, leaving the score at 13-7 with 11:22 to play in the first half. Stanhope Elmore added to its lead with 7:44 to play in the second quarter when Montgomery and Kadin Anderson hooked up for a 39-yard touchdown pass. Anderson caught the ball around the 30, broke a tackle and took it on in to make it 19-7. The try for a 2-point conversion failed. Northview responded to pull within 19-13 with just 2:03 left before halftime when Davis connected with Da’Shawn Owens on a beautiful throw and catch from 17 yards out. Owens took off on the right side and Davis lofted a nice pass to Owens, who beat two defenders on right at the goal line. On the extra point
attempt, the snap went over the head of the holder, thus the score remained 19-13. Northview pulled within three right before halftime when Martin drilled the 37-yarder as time expired. Davis and Owens connected for completions of 13 and 7 yards on the drive. Although Northview scored the only points of the second half before overtime, each team had several opportunities. Stanhope Elmore drove down to the 19 of Northview midway through the fourth quarter, but came away empty when Montgomery threw incomplete on fourth and 5 from the 16 as the Cougars held. On the ensuing series, Northview drove to the 38 of Stanhope Elmore, but was stopped on fourth and 1 when Davis was held to no gain on a quarterback sneak with 3:44 remaining.

Lanett 43, Reeltown 20
Carmen Rodgers / The Outlook
Reeltown’s Kolby Coan (14) tries to out-run Lanett High School’s defensive line during Friday night’s game between the Rebels and the Panthers.
Reeltown couldn’t keep up with Lanett By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For The Outlook
Seven silent minutes changed the complexion of Friday’s game. Trey O’Neal, despite having only 21 yards rushing, took the team on his shoulders and began to force his will upon the Lanett defense. That was until a collision on a seven-yard run left the junior laying on the turf. Flanked by
relatives and trainers O’Neal lay there. “We’re praying that (his being take off on a stretcher) is just precautionary,” said Matt Johnson, coach of the Rebels. “We hope and pray, that’s all it is.” The injury occurred with 4:09 left in the third quarter of a game that had been decided, for the most part, since the end of the first quarter. “I pray that the kid, that everything is
going to be ok with him,” said Clifford Story, coach of the 5-0 Panthers. “I’m going to call and check on him.” O’Neal’s injury changed the complexion of the game. Story, after the game, even noticed saying that neither his bunch nor his opponents were quite the same. Lanett took the ball in the opening frame — en route to the 43-20 region
victory — and scored on the opening possession. Aided by a first-play pass-interference penalty, the Panthers sprinted down the field thanks to a pair of 20-plus-yard runs from Kristian Story and Terrion Truitt. But once inside the 10, Reeltown buckled down and turned Lanett away See REELTOWN • Page 15

Beulah 46, Central Coosa 0
Jerry Ballas / For Opelika-Auburn News
Beulah’s Quindarius Page hangs on to Donta Daniel for no gain in the second quarter.
Beulah dominates Coosa, 46-0 By DUSTIN GUNTER Opelika-Auburn News
The Beulah Bobcats made a statement shutout of the Central Coosa Cougars in a 46-0 rout. The first five minutes of play were sloppy for both the Bobcats (2-2, 1-2) and the Cougars (0-4, 0-2) to begin the night. After forcing a three-and-out, Beulah returner Tae Moody muffed the first punt of the night. The Cougars regained possession, while the Bobcats’ defense maintained composure. Forcing another punt three plays later, the Bobcats secured possession and set up a drive on their own
47-yard line. It didn’t take long for the Beulah backfield to take over, as Tez Turner ran for a 38-yard touchdown with 6:44 left in the first. The Bobcats went for two and were able to convert. Central Coosa quarterback Donta Daniel was forced to leave the field on the next series after a tough collision. That brought in Thomas Lamberth to take over for a play. The Beulah defensive front was in the backfield all night, and this play wasn’t an exception. As the Bobcats applied pressure, Lamberth heaved up a prayer that was intercepted by Dylan Coleman. The takeaway spurred a 31-yard drive that was capped off by a 10-yard run from
Trey Rivera. Both teams were plagued by bad snaps all night. The difference was Beulah made the best out of each and every bad situation. Beulah signal caller Nolan Earle was poised in the pocket all night and executed several big plays for his team. The first of these came with 10:45 left in the second quarter. Earle linked up with Turner for a 46-yard touchdown pass to stretch the lead to 21-0. A drive later, Earle found David Fell for a 15-yard score. The Beulah defensive unit put an exclamation point on an impressive first half when Isaiah Glidewell recovered a Cougar fumble in the end zone.
The Bobcats entered the locker room with a 34-0 lead after a missed extra point. Beulah’s production didn’t let up in the second half. Earle accounted for another touchdown on a 40-yard run early in the fourth. He finished with 158 total yard on the night. Moody redeemed himself as the clock wound down. With 7:47 left in the third quarter, Moody returned a punt 31 yards for the Bobcats’ final touchdown of the night. They went on to win 46-0. Caden Dowdell highlighted a defense that held Central Coosa to only 51 total yards of offense. The junior accounted for 10 tackles with five for a loss.

Reeltown time and again until the Panthers were confronted with a fourth and goal from the four. Story floated a touchdown pass over the head a Reeltown defender and into the hands of Truitt for the first touchdown of the night. With the point after, the Panthers jumped up early, 7-0. Reeltown answered in exciting fashion. Cameron Faison fielded the kickoff and maneuvered his way through a scrum of bodies at midfield before turning on the jets and scoring on a 75-yard kickoff return. Connor Moore added the point after and the Rebels leveled the tally at 7-7. “Reeltown is such a tradition rich team,” coach Story said. “We knew they were going to be physical, and they were and that they were going to have a great game plan, which they did. We just made some plays early and made them go against what they normally want to do (play smash mouth football).” Lanett, after watching a Reeltown onside kick land out of bounds, went back to work offensively. After a string of incomplete passes, Story hit Ja’Won Howell on a screen pass in the middle of the field. Howard, changed

direction and raced to the end zone from 43 yards out for the touchdown. “We’ve got a very fast team and thrive on that. We try to put our athletes in space for them to make plays,” Story said. “And it has paid dividends.” Another successful point after and Lanett led 14-7 with 7:22 left to play in the opening quarter at Nix Webster O’Neal Stadium. The Rebels couldn’t capture lightning in a special teams’ bottle again, fumbling the kickoff inside their own 30. Lanett recovered and, after a series of short runs, turned the turnover into points. Story hit Truitt in the end zone for a 24-yard touchdown pass. The point after failed, but the lead still swelled to a 20-7 mark with 5:28 to go in the first. The Panthers, the Class 2A runnersup from a year ago, forced anther Rebel punt. On first down, Truitt broke loose on a 39-yard run. Story, on first down, twisted and turned and rolled after being flushed out of the pocket to create time and space before flinging a wobbly pass to an uncovered Truitt. The junior raced downfield but was knocked out at
the Reeltown 1. Story called his own number and plunged into the end zone for the score. “We couldn’t get off blocks” Johnson said. “We’ve got to do that. This is a great fast team and we’ve got to play sound. We didn’t do that in the first half.” Chandler Gray burst through the line and blew up the point after attempt as the tally moved to 26-7 in favor of the Panthers. The 19-point wall continued to separate the two teams as Reeltown consistently moved backwards on office while continually rebuffing the Panthers advances into the red zone. After a fourth-and-20 Reeltown punt set the Panthers up inside the home team’s 35, Truitt took a Story handoff on a sprint and turned the corner for the 33-yard touchdown run. With Castro Rovilan splitting the uprights for the point after, the Lanett lead was now 33-7. O’Neal on the final first-half possession, stepped into the quarterback position and began to put some things today. Having negative-18 yards of offense in the first half, O’Neal connected with Ardarious Woods for a nine-yard gain and then broke loose on an eight-
yard run. The drive, beginning with promise, ended with frustration as Rovilan ended the half with a 25-yard field. After the break, Lanett took over again on offense and moved to within the Reeltown 5. The Rebels defense buckled down and turned the Panthers away on three snaps. On fourth and goal from the 3, Story called his own number and diving over the pile. His landing, however, fell short of the goal giving possession back to the Rebels. Finding momentum after O’Neal’s injury seemed a struggle for both teams in the moments that followed. Joseph Davis, in at quarterback, raced forward on a pair of designed runs before throwing an interception to Trikweze Bridges. Bridges leaped over the intended Rebels and took the ball from them returning it to midfield. Tre Tre Hughley had the first official offensive Reeltown highlight since the opening quarter, scoring on a six-yard run into the end zone. The point after made the score 43-14 with 5:53 to go in the quarter. Reeltown scored a final time on a Kolby Coan push into the end zone bringing the game to the final mark of 43-20.

Edgewood blasted by Volunteers STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
The Edgewood Academy Wildcats (1-4, 0-2) stepped out of region Friday and into the sights of the thirdranked Monroe Academy Volunteers (5-0, 2-0). Edgewood held firm in the first 12 minutes but a 21-point second-quarter surge lifted the Volunteers to an eventual 53-0 shutout of the Wildcats. Both squads were on the field for a comparable amount of time but the Volunteers hounded Edgewood quarterback Christian Ivey all night, sacking the sophomore three times, and held the Wildcats to 41 total yards of offense. Monroe Academy slashed the Edgewood defense all night to the tune of 525 total yards, with 381 yards through its rushing attack. Volunteer quarterback

quarter, with two consecutive offensive drives ending with a lost fumble, one of which was picked up by the defense and taken 59 yards to the house. Dadeville rebounded from these two lost fumbles, putting together a sustained drive that ate up nearly six minutes and resulted in Tucker’s third touchdown of the night. The Bulldogs had one final
chance to put points on the board before the final whistle blew, but a desperate heave from Baker on fourth and 22 at the Tigers’ 23-yard line fell incomplete. “We’ve made strides from Week One to now. We’re just giving up too many plays and when we have big plays, we have penalties,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “We just
gotta eliminate those things. We had two plays that put us on the 1-yard line called back for penalties.” Carter was the big player for Holtville, catching three passes for 122 yards, including the 80-yard touchdown reception. “I’m going to try to do this every game. I gotta do this for my team, and we gotta do this together,” he said.
