The 5-percent increase this year is going to be covered by the county, but Beck says the commission will have to revisit how to fund future increases in insurance. It is something the commission has faced in the past. “It will be a decision in future budgets as to how to fund the extra costs,” Beck said. “We are at about $1.3 million to provide health and dental to our

employees today.” “We have had a 25-percent increase in the past,” commissioner T.C. Coley said. “It was a bear.” Currently the county is funding the insurance for six employees that will cost the county $90,000 next year. The budget includes $110,00 for tourism.

Longtime Alex City resident turns 105 By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Vince Lombardi, Gerald Ford, Bear Bryant, Jesse Owens, Richard Nixon, Rosa Parks and Jesse Lee Cannon. What do these people share in common? They were all born in 1913. Cannon, a longtime Alexander City resident, celebrated his 105th birthday at Chapman’s Nursing Home surrounded by family and friends. Family members have an idea how Cannon, a World War II Air Force veteran, has been able to lead a long life. See 105 • Page 3

Jesse Lee Cannon, a longtime Alexander City resident, celebrated his 105th birthday surrounded by family Thursday at Chapman’s Nursing Home.

It will soon be October and with the cooler weather comes fall leaves. But something else comes with the changing of the seasons – property tax notices. “We will mail them out Monday,” Tallapoosa County Revenue Commissioner Eva Middlebrooks said. Middlebrooks and her staff have been preparing the mailing for the last few months. She said some will not receive a notice. “If you have your property financed with a mortgage company, you will likely not get a bill,” Middlebrooks said. “Most mortgage companies send us a request to send them the notice.” There is one mortgage company who normally makes the request, but has not this year. “Wells Fargo has not sent in a request,” Middlebrooks said. “If you are with Wells Fargo, you are going to get a bill, but do not panic. They normally pay by the end of November.” Property taxes are due by Dec. 31. Middlebrooks advised those whose mortgage companies who normally pay the notice – including those with Wells Fargo – to keep an eye on the things to make sure it gets taken care of. “All of the mortgage companies usually pay by the end of November,” Middlebrooks said. “Property owners can keep tabs on it through our website.” Property owners can go to www.tallapoosapropertytax.com and click on the “Search & Pay Taxes” tab to search for their property and the status of property tax payments.

DEAR ABBY: My husband tends to fight dirty, and I don’t know how much more I can take. If we argue about some issue between us, he’ll say something along the lines of, “This is why you have so much trouble with your colleagues at work.” He knows this is a touchy subject, and it upsets me. I have ongoing issues with two work colleagues who give me the silent treatment for months over perceived (but not intentional) slights, and it causes me a lot of social isolation and anguish. I’m upset that he brings this up when we argue to validate his point of view. Of course, this escalates our fights and eventually he apologizes. However, I know the next disagreement we have he’ll resort to similar tactics. We have tried counseling, but it’s tough to fit into our busy schedules, and it never stopped him from resorting to

DEAR ABBY Advice

personal attacks of character during our fights. I don’t know what to do anymore. I want to forgive him, but I don’t see the point since his apologies don’t mean anything. Is there anything left for us to try before I throw in the towel? -- TOO TIRED TO FIGHT DEAR TOO TIRED: As I see it, you have two issues to deal with. You have two “colleagues” at work who have ganged up on you and are creating a hostile work environment by giving you the silent treatment. They don’t have to love you, but they do have to work cooperatively with you, which they aren’t doing. You should report it to

human resources or your boss, so it can be dealt with in a professional manner. As to your husband and what he’s been doing on the home front, tell him he has a choice -- MAKE the time to work with a counselor and learn to fight fair or you will consult a lawyer about ending the marriage. DEAR ABBY: I recently became friendly with a couple who lost their 40-year-old son six months ago. We have grown close over the last several months. The issue is, as they are mourning the passing of their child, they have turned their home into a shrine. There are pictures of him in every room, etc. I know everyone handles grief differently, but this seems excessive, if not a little creepy. I suggested they see a therapist, which they did, but only a couple of times. Believe it or

not, they were told they were on the right track! Do you have any suggestions? -- FINDS IT DEPRESSING IN INDIANA DEAR FINDS: I sure do! Stop judging that couple and expecting them to get over the loss of their child on your timetable. Their therapist has told them they are on the right track, and if you are going to continue to be a supportive friend, you must abandon your preconceptions about how they should deal with their loss. Be supportive. Listen when they need to talk. And when you can, give them positive messages that may lighten their load.

Two charged with trafficking meth By AMALIA KORTRIGHT Staff Writer

Eclectic police took two people into custody and confiscated 28.9 grams of methamphetamine while conducting a traffic stop on Saturday. Catherine Lee Brown, who lists an address on Deer Drive in Prattville Brown and Nathan McClure, who lists an address on Hill Wood Road in Prattville, were both charged with trafficking methamphetamine and booked into the Elmore County Jail on $15,000 bond each. Police chief Robert McClure Head said officers were patrolling the area of West Collins

Street, near the intersection of Kowaliga Road, when they pulled over a vehicle with no tail lights. Before the car stopped, Head said officers saw one of the suspects throw an unidentified object. Officers brought the two back to where the object landed and discovered the methamphetamine. According to Head, Eclectic police are currently working with the Elmore County Drug Task Force to determine where the methamphetamine came from. Head also commended the officers involved in the arrests. While 28.9 grams is an unusual amount for Eclectic, Head said methamphetamine is an issue that plagues many locals. “Meth is a big problem in most areas of Elmore County,” Head said. “We’re glad to get it off our streets so that nobody will be hurt by it.” Trafficking methamphetamine is a Class A felony. If convicted, both Brown and McClure could be sentenced to life in prison.

A total of 28.9 grams of meth was allegedly thrown out of a vehicle carrying two suspects from Prattville on West Collins Street in Eclectic.

“Good, clean living,” Ella Mae Pemberton proclaimed. Others wanted to take a little something from Cannon to extend their lives. “I tried to get a blood transfusion from him,” Steve Pemberton said. “But they wouldn’t let me.” Cannon was born in Rockford on Sept. 27, 1913 and moved to Alexander City in 1918. He attended Avondale Mill School

and worked there until 1940. He married his wife, Nerene in 1940. He joined the Army Air Corps and served from 1942 to 1945 at Maxwell Air Force Base, in South Dakota and Colorado.

Lots to look A forward to in October

he start of October is literally right around the corner — or weekend, should we say — and there is plenty to look forward to. It is many people’s favorite time of year and there are a lot of great events approaching. October will bring plenty of fun events, including more Horizons Unlimited events with special guest speakers and interesting presentations. Coming up on Tuesday is National Night Out, where area first responders will be present so residents can get out and meet them in a relaxed environment. There will be free hot dogs, a bounce house and slide for the kids, plus music and entertainment. It’s a hit every year — you don’t wanna miss it. Next Saturday, Oct. 6 the second annual Ducky Ward Memorial Soap Box Derby and Car Show will be held on West Street in Dadeville next to the library. Even better than last year, this year’s derby is being held in conjunction with Dadeville’s annual fall festival which means double the entertainment and fun. Also on Saturday is the fifth annual Bibb Graves High School Alumni and Friends Car Show. There will be 50/50 raffle tickets, a money tree, games, door prizes, music and plenty of entertainment. Along with all of that, we get to look forward to Alexander City’s annual Oktoberfest which is set for Oct. 13 at the Sportplex. There will be local arts and crafts, activities for the kids and special musical performers. Plus, the temperature is going to be dropping even more. Who’s ready for October?

s an old time Baptist pastor, I love to baptize folks. I’m talking about deep water, fully immersed and totally under. Because of this belief, I’ve had the opportunity to baptize in everything from modern baptisteries to lakes and rivers. I once baptized a group of Samburu warriors in a homemade baptistery in the jungles of Kenya. Yes sir, this preacher believes in baptizing! Now baptizing in a baptistery is pretty tame work. The water is heated, there are dressing rooms and the environment is designed to make everything perfect and unforgettable. It’s when you get into the great outdoors that things begin to change. There are no controls on the elements and environment when a fellow moves away from the safety of the church house. In March I’ll be back in the Holy Land and folks love to be baptized in the Jordan River. So, I’ll be wading out into these sacred waters of Israel and freezing my toes off. Let me tell you, I’ve baptized in creek water so cold ducks wouldn’t land on it and the Jordan River is no exception. Walking out into that kind of water takes real courage because this retired, dignified, former pastor of the First Baptist Church has to maintain the dignity of that exalted

I was sitting down thinking about so many kinds of technological equipment we have at our hands today. As I write my thoughts out, I think how we will be missing out on simple things in future years to come. We have computers, iPhones, smartphones, iPads, iPods and probably many other “i’s” and today we are able to use them which eliminate at times writing utensils such as paper, pencils and pens. These electronic items are very useful and speed up the communication process yet, as years go by, the very equipment that blesses us to do this will be a hindrance to us. For instance, a text or computer message many years from now many not be found. Often times when we use technical equipment, our brains do not have to think about spelling words because several words will pop up with correct spellings. A punch of a key or tap on a gadget opens up a whole new world of technology and we find out you really do not have to be smart to come up with a phrase, sentence or answers because, “Bam!” The device does it for you.

I think it’s time for us to analyze the technical world and see how gadgets and other devices are robbing us in the long run. As we grow older and look for reminders of past days gone by, we will lose many memories due to technology and our fast pace society. I enjoy writing letters sending cards to family, friends, etc. Sometimes I like to go through my closets and look at old photos, letters I received in the handwritings of my mom, brothers, friends, etc. I still have report cards from first through the 12th grade of my teachers’ handwriting. These are precious memories to me. I enjoy going through photo albums and seeing pictures of me when I was a little girl some 50 years ago. I’m not saying computers and other electronic devices are bad, however, I think we are taking away so much from the generation today and those ahead. As I get older, I am not interested in keeping electronic devices around to find pictures on them. Even going to Walgreens or Walmart to download photos can get to be time consuming and overwhelming at times. I really enjoyed taking

pictures with a camera and getting them developed from film rolls. Today it’s exciting to be able to have a device and quickly take pictures, videos and do other electronic things. As we age, much of the electronic stuff we have will not be as exciting and I don’t think I’m going to be trying to find all flash, memory cards, photo logs on a phone, etc. Perhaps the younger generation will help do this. I hope I can still receive handwritten letters, cards with handwritten thoughts, photo albums with pictures of my family and phone calls so I can hear my children and grandchildren’s voices and not get a text replacing a live voice. When I was in school, we had computer classes and typing classes, writing classes, reading classes out of text books and not on computers. Today, I still love to read. All I’m trying to say to us is don’t let this modern technology of fast pace living rob us of the happy memories and quality time of learning to express ourselves. Let’s do a little of both, moderation is the key focus. Teresa Harrell Moten Alexander City

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Stop yourself before you do anything you regret. You are more upbeat than you recognize. This attitude Ă&#x2026;ows from you to others. Understand what is going on with your spending. You could feel the costs building. Avoid a controlling individual. Tonight: Go for what you want. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could feel more in touch with your long-term goals than you have in a long time. You might need to change plans by taking oÉ&#x2C6; for the weekend and/or seeing someone at a distance. Opportunity shines later in the day. Tonight: You call the shots, no matter what. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Be courteous, but give yourself some much-needed space. You need to recharge and get some rest. By lying low and squeezing in a nap, you can revitalize yourself. Your ability to make up for lost time will be enhanced once you feel energized. Tonight: Finish what you must. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Focus on your long-term goals. Do not push too hard to make what you want happen. Have some faith. Lady Luck suddenly appears. You could Ă&#x201E;nd a loved one to be very controlling. If that is the case, step away. Be open to change. Tonight: Among the crowds. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Respond to a vague inquiry. Your ability to see what is going on allows greater give-and-take. Your openness might surprise the other party. Refuse to get stuck in what you must do; instead, make time for this individual. Tonight: Be spontaneous, and embrace a fun challenge. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Reach out to someone you care about. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to be able to make a diÉ&#x2C6;erence in how this person views a situation, but at least you can help him or her relax more. Understand that your eÉ&#x2C6;orts will be appreciated. Tonight: Christen the weekend by meeting up with

friends. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could make a substantial diÉ&#x2C6;erence to a partner if you are willing discuss an important matter in terms that he or she can understand. No matter what, be sure to express your feelings. Be more forthcoming with your ideas. Tonight: Dinner with a favorite person. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might feel reactive or somewhat out of control when dealing with one speciĂ&#x201E;c person. Your ability to get through a problem does not seem to count right now. Open up to new possibilities presented by a partner. Do not insist on having your way. Tonight: Relax. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Do as much as you can to break free from your routine, especially if you are losing some of the enthusiasm you attach to certain activities. If you are single, someone you meet could be signiĂ&#x201E;cant. You might be surprised by this connection. Tonight: Read between the lines. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your creativity might be inspired by a far-out thought. You might wonder if it is possible to make this notion a reality. Test it out on others rather than decide its validity yourself. Getting feedback will be important. Tonight: Join a special friend or associate for dinner and drinks. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Pressure builds. Your hands are full as it is, and an unexpected happening at your home might take up a large part of your weekend. Do not Ă&#x201E;ght the inevitable. Know when to let go and give others their space; their tune might change quickly as a result. Tonight: Where the action is. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might feel somewhat unresponsive in the morning. Take a nap, and you will come back feeling energized and ready to throw yourself into the moment. Someone could disclose some important information. Keep it hush-hush for now. Tonight: Be a social butterĂ&#x2026;y.

Tammy Jackson, left, and Stephan Tomlin talk at Thursday’s Alexander City Kiwanis Club meeting. Jackson was installed as president and Tomlin is the outgoing president. Jackson was also selected as Kiwanian of the Year for the club.

Commission the salary and benefits of one person and the rest to fund the office costs and needed advertising. Revenues will not change much from last year. “Property tax is basically flat. We had a slight increase. Sabal Trail assessment was several hundred thousand less than projected. That impacted us about $100,000. That was offset primarily by increases around the lake.” Beck said the county was “expecting revenues to be flat” for the next year, but will see a little growth. “We are seeing a slight growth in the general fund and also a little in gasoline. That can be attributed to a robust economy,” Beck told the commission. “Areas where we are seeing growth in the general fund are things typically driven by the economy – tag fees inspection fees and such.” Some savings will come from retirement incentives and a few other places. “The retirement incentive is $10,000 for employees of 25 years or more of service,” Beck said. “Some of the positions we will not replace. One of the positions will likely be a lower position if filled. That is where the savings come.” The county is even seeing some savings from retired employees. It is expected some employees will retire, creating savings in the highway department to be used on the roads. The county will sell some equipment and pair the resulting funds with about $400,000 in reserves to purchase $1.3 million in equipment. But if cash flow is an issue in Janurary, Beck said he may come back to the commission to finance some of the $400,000. “We are going to pay cash for it instead of financing,” Beck said. “Keep in mind that is

Art showcased in a corridor dedicated to student art. Third-graders Kyleigh Leonard and Grant Sheffield, fourth-graders Dawson Barnett, Lachlan Dean, Britton Brown, Palyn Joiner and Jakobi Reese and sixth-grader Cecilia Radney were chosen to be a part of the student exhibit. “It’s a huge honor for their art to be on exhibit,” Stephens Elementary art teacher Debra Griffith said. “To have student art hanging alongside the ‘big art,’ it’s a really big deal.” Radney Elementary art teacher Hannah Hawk added, “I’m really proud of her (Radney) and her artwork. Her mom is an artist, so it is especially cool for her to have a work from her child that’s going to be hanging in the art museum.” Thursday evening, the students were able to take part in a special celebration at the museum, recognizing them for their hard work in creating the art selected to be a part of the exhibit. During the celebration, there was a ceremony in the museum auditorium honoring each of the students selected to be featured, followed by a reception and some time to look at the student art exhibit. During the reception, Barnett said it felt good to have his art on display, Joiner thought it was exciting to know that so many people would be coming to visit the exhibit and Brown said he liked being in the museum because he thought the art raised a great deal of awareness of the problem of hunger in Alabama. With Stephens sending seven pieces of art to the exhibit, Griffith said this is the largest amount of her students’ artwork being selected for the show, topping the previous record of five she had while teaching art at Dadeville. What made it a lot more special for Radney’s portrait to be selected, according to Hawk, was how the piece was finalized. When finishing her

what we want to do today. If the equipment sale does not go as expected or we are in a cash crunch, we may come back and finance some of that.” The budget includes merit raises for those eligible and an increase for starting pay for the deputy sheriff along with a new deputy to help with retention. “The additional deputy will allow them to go to a four on, four off schedule,” Beck said. “They feel like going to that will help keep deputies.” The starting pay will go up more quickly to help keep younger officers. “At the starting end, we start lower than most agencies around,” Beck said. “If they stay long enough we pay better. The key is getting them to stay long.” Beck wants to make sure everyone understands cash flow for the county. “We see most of it by the end of January,” Beck said. “Then it starts to flow again in November.” This is timed with payment of property tax and Beck wants to make sure the county stays in a good financial position all year with its reserves. “It is something we need to protect,” he said. “We need to make sure we always have at least six to eight weeks at a minimum to be able to make payroll.” Benefits are a large cost most do not realize and employees may like them, but they are not directly paid to them. “Employee benefits are about 28 percent,” Beck said. “They are a cost of doing business. That is money our employees don’t really see because they can’t spend it.” The next meeting of the Tallapoosa County Commission is Oct. 8 at 9 a.m. at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville.

portrait, Hawk said Radney was having an issue getting the lips to work just right. It became a bit of a battle in class, as some students were teasing her about the issue with the lips. However, the dispute ended in favor of Radney when hers was the only work from RES to be selected to hang in the museum. Whether it was one piece or seven selected to be a part of the exhibit, both Hawk and Griffith said the experience for students at both schools had been a valuable experience. “It was really eye-opening for a lot of them,” Hawk said. “They were surprised to hear a lot of the numbers. It really made them think and was a great way to raise awareness. The kids had some great conversations and shared some great examples of how they’ve helped others or seen people helping those in need. It was a good lesson for everyone.” Griffith said, “This exhibit is on a very sensitive topic. It really touched the children. It was nice to see how compassionate and caring our students can be.” When the exhibit concludes on Nov. 11, Griffith says she hopes all of the student artwork from Stephens can be put on display throughout the school, showcasing the effort they put into their pieces. “(Gifted teacher Laurie) Barrett worked hard with the kids, and the kids worked really hard,” Griffith said. “We’re really proud of them.” Hawk said, “It’s a pretty exciting thing to have our students’ artwork on display. When I took my students’ art down there, I took a look at some of the art from earlier shows, and the oldest piece I saw was one dating back to 1991. To know that her (Radney’s) work may still be on display down there years from now, it’s a great feeling.”

Coosa Central’s Edlena Gibbs serves the ball in Thursday’s match against Reeltown.

Cougars look for consistency despite area win By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Central Coosa took care of business on its home court with an area victory over Reeltown in straight sets Thursday night. Despite the victory, Coosa coach Doris Gamble is looking for more consistency for the Cougars as the season moves forward. “We’ve still got a few rough edges that we can improve,” Gamble said. “We’ve been playing in spurts so being a little bit more consistent will help us out. We’re getting there but there’s always room for improvement.” Coosa (9-2, 3-1 Class 2A Area 8) held on to a small advantage in the first set, leading 14-12 after hitting a serve into the net. However, the Cougars took control with a service run by Kera Dunham which included two aces. Dunham, a sophomore setter, also added six assists as Central won the first set 25-16. She finished the match with 22 assists. Reeltown jumped out to an early lead in the second set but it quickly disappeared because of another long service run, this time by Edlena Gibbs. She put the Cougars back in the lead after eight straight points, including two aces. Coosa held on to win the second set 25-16 but there was still room for improvement. “We were just standing around a little bit in those early games and we gave away a lot of those points,” Gamble said. “But we starting hitting the ball better, played the net a lot better and our transitions were a lot better.” The Rebels were looking competitive again but their hopes of comeback were dashed early in the third set. Coosa’s Shae Suttles had three of her four kills in the final set as the Cougars finished off Reeltown 25-9. Suttles said Gamble’s coaching paid off in the final set. “She was telling us to talk more and do the little things better,” Suttles said. “She’s always saying when we serve better, we play better. Most of the points we’re giving away are missed serves.” Reeltown (6-9, 2-3) lost in straight sets to Coosa for the second time this season. However, there was clearly improvement from the last meeting. “Volleyball is a momentum thing and it’s about who has it going on that day,” Gamble said. “From the last time we played them, I saw a lot of improvements. They’re not the same team we played in Reeltown.” Rebels coach Kelli Hilyer said she saw good play from her team in the first two sets but there was not the same energy in the final set. She said as long as the team continues to improve, the Rebels will be fine. “We’ve definitely improved from the beginning of the year,” Hilyer said. “We just keep getting better each time we play. We’ll go home and practice some things we saw here tonight and work through the last couple of matches before area tournament.” This was the final regular season meeting for the two teams but the area standings are setting up for a postseason rematch. Fayetteville currently leads the area and will be expected to host the area tournament. Central Coosa and Reeltown would then meet in the first round of the postseason for a chance to advance to regionals.

BRHS hosts Chilton County amid distractions By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

CHILTON COUNTY VS. BENJAMIN RUSSELL

There will be a lot going on at Benjamin Russell’s football game tonight. Not only is it homecoming for the Wildcats, but they’ll also be retiring Terrell Owens’ jersey during a pregame ceremony. But the Wildcats aren’t going to let the surrounding atmosphere fluster them. If anything, they’re going to use those things as motivating factors. “They are not a distraction, I don’t think,” BRHS coach Kevin Smith said. “We’ll do what we do (tonight). It can be a distraction if you let it be a distraction, but it’s also a time where there’s a lot of spirit in the air, so you can flip that and make it a positive.” Benjamin Russell will play

Chilton County (3-2) is riding a three-game win streak heading into tonight’s game. “They’re really a blue-collar

team,” Smith said. “There’s not a lot of glitz and glamour with what they do, but they’re really persistent and tenacious. On defense they keep coming. On film, there have been games where you think the defense might tip over and the walls come down, but they never do.

They’ve played in some pretty decent battles too.” Chilton County’s recent victories have come against Shelby County, Jemison and Central Tuscaloosa, so although the competition hasn’t been the steepest, the Tigers still have See WILDCATS • Page 12

The Tigers felt like they played one of their best games effort-wise against St. James, but it wasn’t enough for a victory last week. “If we would’ve played against Bullock County the way we played against St. James, we would’ve beaten them,” Dadeville coach Richard White said. “But we just can’t be consistent in what we do.” Big plays are what killed the Tigers against St. James a week ago, as the Trojans gained 172 yards and three

Coosa makes personnel changes for Walter Wellborn By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

After a less-thanimpressive performance from the defensive line against Horseshoe Bend, Central Coosa is trying to change things up on the front lines in hopes that’ll give it more success. “We made some personnel changes,” Coosa coach Brett Thomas said. “We switched some people out just to see if we can get some protection on offense and better penetration and run blocking on defense. We moved some people around, but unfortunately, we’re up against a very, very good team this week.” The Cougars (0-4) usher in Walter Wellborn (3-2) for a non-region match up tonight. The Panthers are coming off their biggest win of the season, a 40-0 thrashing of Glencoe, and are averaging more than 35 points per game.

File / The Outlook

A trio of Cougars try to hem up a Horseshoe Bend player last week. Central Coosa has made some changes defensively for tonight’s game.

“They’re a perennial good team,” Thomas said. “They run a wing-T and option, and they’re a very strong team. That’s a concern for us because

we don’t realistically have that many players. Going up against stronger, bigger players as the game progresses, fatigue is a factor for us.”

Thomas expects Walter Wellborn to be a run-heavy team, and it’ll be led by quarterback Jett Smith and running backs Calvin Spinks and Kentrez Hunt.

Defensively, the Panthers run a 3-4. “They have good receivers and a good line,” Thomas said. “They’re a solid team all around. Everything they do they do well, so going against us, they’re not going to have hardly any weaknesses.” But Coosa is hoping some of its changes, especially on defense, will help against a tough offense. The Cougars moved Keaonta Hines to defensive end and put Dawson Thornton on the defensive line; Thornton was previously just playing offense. They also swapped some linebackers around. “We made some changes to help with the blocking schemes,” Thomas said. “We just have so many inexperienced players and we realistically can’t make that many personnel changes. A lot of teams see our weaknesses and by the

the taste of victory in their mouths. Defensively, Chilton County bases out of a 3-4 but has shown multiple fronts. According to Smith, the Tigers typically keep two safeties up high but he also said they may adjust to Benjamin Russell’s offense. “They’ve got a safety (Triston Schmidthorst) who is everywhere,” Smith said. “He can play up on the line or back at safety. Their inside linebackers are also pretty aggressive. I like the way they play. They’ve got some real gritty defensive linemen. When I say gritty, I mean they’re really tough. They keep coming and they’re tough to block.” Benjamin Russell (3-2) will also have to be wary of Chilton County quarterback Shi Keem Laister. “He can move,” Smith said. “He’s mobile. He puts you in the mind of Demopolis’ quarterback; he moves about like him. He may not be quite as fast but he can pull it down and go. He also throws well enough to keep you off him.” As for the Wildcats, they’re still struggling to find much success in their running game. They tried to force the issue last week, running between the tackles for most of the game, but that caused even more problems. “We got caught up being stubborn, trying to run inside the box, and they had too many people in there,” Smith said. “We threw the slant once and it went for 25 or 30 yards; we hit that a couple times and they start having to spread out a little bit more. I don’t think we did a good job in that aspect. “When we did have the right numbers in the box, we have to be able to block. We’ve gotta be able to play between the tackles and that’s a truth you can’t get away from.” At this point, the Wildcats are searching for some confidence and some success. Smith said he thought Demopolis was one of the best teams they’ll face all year, so if they can be just a bit more successful than they were last week, the Wildcats feel like they can hang with the likes of Wetumpka and Opelika later on down the road. But at the midway point in the season, Smith isn’t exactly happy with where Benjamin Russell is but he’s hoping the Wildcats can get back on track. “I think we took a step back at the Stanhope Elmore game,” Smith said. “I don’t think we played that well that night at all, and I think that carried over. It seems like now we haven’t taken a step forward since that game. “When you look at the Selma game, the scoreboard said we won, but did we get better? I would say if we did, not much. There may be some individuals who have gotten better but as a team, I don’t know if we fully took a step forward. This week we need to take a step forward; we talk about building a staircase and we haven’t built many stairs since Stanhope.” Owens will attend Benjamin Russell’s pep rally at 11 a.m. and will also be at tonight’s game for his retirement jersey ceremony.

to get the ball to Patrick and get the ball in his hands,” White said. “He’s a track star athlete and he can run. We have to find a way to hem him up. We can’t let him get outside and use his speed because we don’t have anybody that can catch him.” Against St. James, Dadeville allowed Tony Amerson to rip off runs of 60-plus, 30-plus and two 40-plus yard gains, and White said that can’t happen again. “We just can’t have breakdowns like that,” he said. “That just breaks your back.” Luckily for the Tigers (2-3), despite those few plays, White said the defense played extremely aggressively and held a solid team to just four touchdowns. But, because of the offensive struggles, the defense was on the field too long and got worn down by St. James’ offensive prowess. “Offensively, we didn’t do hardly anything,” White said. “We threw the ball at times and we had some bright spots, but most of it was

didn’t think it would take five games, but that has something to do with execution. We’ll miss a block here, we’ll make the wrong read there; it’s just little things like that.” Dadeville will be going up against a shaky Elmore County defense though. The Panthers have given up an average of 36.6 points per game after shutting out Marbury in their season opener.

want to get complacent,’” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett. “Just because we won Friday doesn’t mean anything about the next week, so hopefully we cut that out before it started.” Although Loachapoka enters tonight’s game with a 1-3 record, it has been consistently putting up some points, which is something the Generals have struggled with. Up until last week, Horseshoe Bend (1-4) had scored only 20 points all year. But Averett is hopeful last week’s taste of success will carry over into tonight’s game and beyond. Horseshoe Bend’s offense, which had been stuck in the mud, put up 35 points last week and looked extremely well balanced with a good mix of passing plays and a rushing attack. “Nywanski (Russell) threw the ball well so hopefully he can do that

again,” Averett said. “He’s starting to understand reading and what we want to do and who we want to get it to. Rushing wise, I think we spread it out well. (The offensive line) is getting more aggressive. That was kind of the thing with them all along.” The stronger offensive line allowed for Horseshoe Bend to have some success in its ground game, something the Generals had been lacking before. And they were extremely versatile in their rushing attack. Russell, Trent Cotney and Stephon Buchanan all had at least 10 carries. This week, it’s been difficult for the Generals to prepare because of Loachapoka’s multiple nature. “They’re a mixed bag both offensively and defensively,” Averett said. “They run about every defense you can possibly get in, and on offense,

they run the spread, the I, a little bit of everything.” Loachapoka’s biggest offensive threats are quarterback Aaron Frazier and running back Demontrey Moore. “Those are their two main guys,” Averett said. “Receiver wise, they’ve been struggling a little bit and hopefully they’ll keep struggling for at least another win. They’re definitely capable of making big plays and running up the score if you let them.” Tonight will be Horseshoe Bend’s homecoming, which can typically create a lot of distractions, but Averett said he hasn’t seen it be an issue for the Generals this week. “So far it hasn’t been a problem,” Averett said. “Everything started cranking up (Thursday), so by then, we pretty much have everything done practice-wise, so it works out well.”

Rebels bullets are flying? I wanted some adversity, but I don’t know if I wanted that much.” Although the Rebels (5-0) will be taking a break from Class 2A Region 6 action to host the Red Devils (3-1), they won’t have a timeout from steep competition. Maplesville is a perennial powerhouse, having won three 1A state championships in the last four years. It has won eight straight region championships and its only loss of the season comes at the hands of Linden, which is ranked No. 2 in Class 1A. “You turn on their film and it’s like a well-oiled machine,” Johnson said. “They have two really good running backs (Christin Brown) and (Ryan Morrow). Brown is a really good looking athlete; he’s a big kid and he runs well. “They’re extremely well coached and fundamental

second half, they’re really exploiting them.” Because of Coosa’s small roster numbers, so many players are going both ways, which not only allows opposing teams to key in on those miscues, it also makes for tired and cramping players. JaMichael Chambliss was one who suffered from cramps last week against Horseshoe Bend, but Thomas said he’s doing a lot better this week. One person that doesn’t seem to ever tire is Tahj Robbins, the Cougars’ nose guard. “Tahj is playing really well,” Thomas said. “I’m really happy with his play and we’re going to try to get him a little more involved in the offense. We’ll probably play him a little bit at fullback because Tahj is one of those guys who gets stronger as the game goes on.”

up front on the offensive line, which makes it tough. They’re going to be in the right spots.” On film, Johnson has seen a similar style offense from Maplesville the Rebels put on the field. While they’ll try to spread defenses out, the Red Devils are a run-heavy team. They’ll also try some runpass options and some zone options. “They really just look around and see who’s making a mistake and take advantage of it,” Johnson said. The Rebels are expecting to see multiple defensive fronts from Maplesville, and Johnson couldn’t stop naming individuals who stood out to him on the Red Devils’ defense. “(Timothy Bradley), (Brown), (Tristen Thetford), (Robert Sheffield) and I’m sure there’s some linemen in there who I can’t think of off

the top of my head,” Johnson said. “They’re a good ball club and they’ve beaten some good teams.” But the Rebels have the threatening rushing duo of Cameron Faison and Keke Hughley who should be able to counter Maplesville’s defense. Faison returned from an injury, having missed one game, and had 16 carries for more than 80 yards and returned a kickoff for a touchdown a week ago. Johnson is also hoping having home-field advantage is going to be key this week. Especially because of Reeltown’s success so far and the four-week wait for a home game, Johnson said the atmosphere inside NixWebster-O’Neal Stadium last week helped propel the Rebels to victory. “Man, that was great; the atmosphere was unbelievable,” Johnson said.

“I was extremely excited about our fans. It was loud. It was an exciting game. The band and cheerleaders, they all just did a remarkable job and that makes a difference. The kids definitely get up a little bit when you’re home crowd is that enthusiastic.” But one big thing Johnson will be looking for this week is a complete game from his Rebels. It’s tough to overcome a two-touchdown deficit in any game, but getting that far behind twice in a row could prove costly. “We gotta trust what we do immediately when we walk through the gate,” Johnson said. “We gotta come out there, not try to feel people out but play our ball. We can’t focus on the opponent so much.” Reeltown is looking for its first 6-0 start since 1991 when it went 14-1, losing only the state title game.
