Ware ordered to repay monies to church By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Judge Ray Martin issued a ruling Thursday against former Great Bethel Missionary Baptist Church pastor Rev. Dr. Emerson Ware Jr. saying he is responsible for taking more than $32,000 from the church involving rental property. Martin also placed some of the blame on issues facing the church on the board. “The defendant basically had his daughter living in a house owned by
the church and he was being paid by the (Alexander City) Housing Authority for her to live there,” Martin said in the ruling. “The court could not from the evidence find any reasonable legal basis by which he could have benefitted personally from this arrangement. There is simply no legal foundation in the scattered corporate bylaws or in the de facto operation of the church to provide for such a windfall for the defendant.” The ruling is a judgment for $32,400 in favor of the church and against Ware. Martin had already ruled who was in

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Law enforcement acted on tips Friday morning and arrested two Alexander City residents on Booker Street in connection to a string of automobile thefts.

Pappion served as the guest review officer. Pappion graduated from Lyman Ward Military Academy. Currently Lyman Ward has graduates on scholarship at Marion Military Institute and at West Point. At Friday’s review, representatives from the Camp Hill Police Department, the Camp Hill Fire Department, the Dadeville Fire Department, the Alexander City Fire Department, the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, the Lee County Sheriff’s Department, the Montgomery Police Department and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency State Troopers were on hand to be honored.

Late last week, the International Trade Commission reached a decision to halt tariffs on newsprint being imported from Canada put in place by the Trump administration earlier this year. These tariffs were first imposed Jones in response to a complaint submitted to the U.S. Department of Commerce from the North Pacific Paper Company, a hedge fundowned corporation based in Washington State, claiming subsidies from the Canadian government allowed Canadian newsprint manufacturers to sell their product at unfairly low prices. Among those praising the ITC on the decision to halt these tariffs is Sen. Doug Jones, who has been a strong advocate for repealing the taxes since they were introduced. “This is a huge win for our local newspapers, which are See TARIFFS • Page 3

DEAR ABBY: I am in a long-distance relationship. I live in Kansas; he’s in Michigan. Because we are 720 miles apart, phone calls, text messages and Skype are vital to the health of our relationship. I make it a priority to text or call “Good morning” or “Goodnight.” Unlike me, sometimes he’s consistent and sometimes not, especially on weekends. He says he falls asleep, but it continues to happen, and I’m getting tired and frustrated about not being a priority. I have been as patient and nice as I can be, as well as continuing to tell him how much I love him and want our relationship to work.

“This is a huge win for our local newspapers, which are truly the lifeblood of their communities... The administration’s tariffs were going to cost jobs, not save them.” — Sen. Doug Jones
Doug Jones recently visited Alexander City to speak at a town hall event. Jones was a strong advocate of ending the newspaper tariffs, explaining to officials how devastating they could be to newspapers, especially those in smaller or rural communities.
Tariffs truly the lifeblood of their communities,” Jones said in a prepared statement. “The vast majority of newsprint used by America’s newspapers is manufactured in Canada, not the United States. The administration’s tariffs were going to cost jobs, not save them. Throughout this year, I have heard from publishers across Alabama that the significant cost increase of newsprint caused by these tariffs had placed a heavy burden on their already tight finances, forcing them to cut service or jobs, or both. I applaud the International Trade Commission for reversing these tariffs and letting common sense prevail.” Jones was a strong advocate of ending the tariffs, writing a letter to Secretary of Commerce Wilbur Ross asking for an end to these taxes and testifying at an ITC hearing on the matter, explaining how devastating these

tariffs could be for newspapers, especially those in smaller communities and more rural areas. Jones was also a co-sponsor of the Protecting Rational Incentives in Newsprint Trade Act of 2018 (PRINT Act), introduced to the Senate by Senators Susan Collins (R-ME) and Angus King (I-ME). A bi-partisan piece of legislation, Jones was joined by Senators Roy Blunt (R-MO), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Claire McCaskill (D-MO), Jerry Moran (R-KS), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Johnny Isakson (R-GA) and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) as co-sponsors of the bill.

here is something special about football season in Alabama. It’s a time where we can all join together, despite our political differences or personal disagreements, and support our favorite teams. It is great to see high school football stands full of proud supporters and we hope they continue to get even fuller as the season goes on — not the other way around. It’s important to support these high school kids who are playing their hearts out on the field. They deserve our support and cheers. Whether they win or lose, they need to know we’re always going to be there cheering them on. Aside from high school football, college and NFL football has also officially began. This means the weather is going to start cooling off soon and before we know it, the holidays will be here. For our own good, can we just get along and watch some football? Let’s not worry about arguing about politics. It doesn’t matter if you’re cheering for the same team or not — get out there and go to a game, tailgate or sit in front of a TV with some friends and enjoy the game. If you’re looking to be around some friends and enjoy some football, The Coffee Corner in downtown Alexander City is hosting an SEC Watch Party every Saturday until Nov. 24. The business will be showing the Alabama and Auburn games in the alley on a projected screen as well as inside its restaurant. Enjoy a taco, grab something to drink at one of the other businesses downtown and spend your football Saturdays in our great little town. Football season has a way of making us all unite — despite being an Auburn or Alabama (or neither) fan. It is a time where we can all agree on one thing — we love football. So this football season, remember to support our local high school players and enjoy some time with friends and family on college football Saturdays and during the NFL games, too.

The 10 Commandments and religious freedom
Football brings F us together
Outlook
or years, discussion over the public display of The 10 Commandments has animated Alabama’s political landscape. The issue is so energizing, it seems, that many politicians frame their own races through the lens of this battle — that support for their candidacy is a vote for the Ten Commandments. Even so, Alabamians have never actually gotten a chance to vote directly on the issue. This November, however, a constitutional amendment sponsored by Sen. Gerald Dial provides that opportunity. Statewide Amendment 1, if successful, would enshrine in the state constitution language signifying two things, a) The 10 Commandments are authorized to be displayed on public property, including public schools and b) that no person’s religion can affect his or her political or civil rights. This amendment, as expected, has received its share of support and criticism. Dean Young, Chairman of the Ten Commandments PAC, suggests this to be a vote where Alabama decides if we “want to acknowledge God.” He also remarks that we will be held accountable for our vote on judgment day. Not all Christians agree with Young, however. The Baptist Joint Committee, for example, argues “the government should represent all constituents regardless of religious belief” and not involve itself in “religious favoritism.” The question, of course, is of the real impact of this amendment. Essential to the discussion of impact is one provision within the amendment that will not be included on the ballot: the fact that any 10
PARKER SNIDER Columnist Commandments display must comply with constitutional requirements. This provision explicitly acknowledges 10 Commandments displays in Alabama are subject to the U.S. Constitution, and therefore the U.S. Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court, it is important to note, has largely settled on an understanding of the constitutionality of this issue through three precedentsetting court rulings. In McCreary County v. ACLU, the Supreme Court ruled the display of The 10 Commandments in a Kentucky courthouse was unconstitutional. In Van Orden v. Perry, however, the Court allowed The 10 Commandments to be displayed, provided it was within a larger array of historical monuments and markers. In regard to the display of The 10 Commandments in public schools, the court ruled in Stone v. Graham posting The 10 Commandments in every public school classroom, as required by a Kentucky law, served “no secular purpose” and was therefore unconstitutional. As this amendment is subject to these precedents and already-existing First Amendment protections, the approval or rejection of this amendment will likely have limited immediate impact in Alabama. What, then, is the purpose? In a recent call with the
Alabama Policy Institute, Dial — the sponsor of the amendment — answered that question. He acknowledged, for the amendment to have greatest impact, the U.S. Supreme Court will have to rule differently in the future. Dial also offered another reason to support the amendment. He remarked this amendment would shift liability from the individual or government office displaying The 10 Commandments to the state. The hope of this amendment is to embolden displays of The 10 Commandments under the legal protection of the state constitution, Dial suggests, and let the state deal with any legal ramifications. It is important to mention, however, that the amendment specifies that no public funds can be used to defend its constitutionality. If there are legal challenges, Dial suggests a third party will fund the defense. To be sure, this amendment brings yet again to the public eye an issue that some consider settled. The Supreme Court precedent will — new rulings notwithstanding — supersede any constitutional amendments the people of Alabama pass or fail to pass on the subject. If the U.S. Supreme Court were to, however, overturn past precedent, the success or failure of this amendment could be consequential. Snider is manager of policy relations for the Alabama Policy Institute, an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational organization dedicated to strengthening free enterprise, defending limited government, and championing strong families.

Letter to the Editor
Reader: Trump did not create our problems Dear Editor, Three former presidents eulogized John McCain: Clinton, Bush, Obama. They of course praised McCain and went on and on how McCain wanted us to reach across the aisle and be bipartisan, all empty words. Left-wing Democrats and liberals didn’t skip a beat. After the funeral they all went back to doing what they love, attacking President Trump and pushing for his impeachment. Trump did not start the Iraq War, Syrian crisis, did not create ISIS, did not create gang violence, poverty, drug epidemic, homelessness and so much more that We the Forgotten face. There’s no American dream in our kids and grandchildren’s future. They fight him on everything but he stands tough and continues to fight on for America while Democrats proudly fight for illegals and their children continuing to ignore the problems Americans face. An example is cities like Chicago where there is no asylum for innocent citizens facing gang violence, drugs, poverty, failing schools. The weekend of Aug. 4, 66 were shot and 12 killed. Does anyone really care? This has been going on for too many years in too many cities. How many more fami-
lies must bury their loved ones before this changes? This was not caused by President Trump. A program called “Our America with Lisa Ling” focused on foster care in Los Angeles stating this was the largest foster care system in America and it is in crisis for tens of thousands of children. Their child abuse hotline gets 1,000 calls a day; social workers are overworked and burned out. In August, Philadelphia called for families to open their homes to more than 6,000 foster kids stuck in the system. No tears or protest for these American children from liberals. “Dateline” had a program on homelessness in America that averaging 500,000 on any night, men, women, children, veterans living in cars, tents, homeless shelters and street after street of homeless citizens. One in five Californians live in poverty according to the census bureau. They have 12 percent of the population yet account for roughly 30 percent of the nation’s welfare recipients, not factoring in immigrants. One in four Americans will be a victim of domestic violence. A shelter in New York called “Safe Horizons” averages 400 children and 300 women a day that need asylum. 120 die each day from
overdose, more than guns or cars. This country continues to face so many problems that President Trump did not create. At least he is trying to work for us as left-wing Democrats and liberals stand up for illegals, open borders and abolish I.C.E. Oh and of course disfranchise 62 million voters by impeaching President Trump. Is this really who we want to take control in November? No way. Stop the foolishness of unnecessary resistance, open your heart and minds then there is no limit to the problems that we can solve. Our children and grandchildren deserve this from us. Politicians come and go, their priority should be making America great again for everyone. Both sides have let us down, but left-wing politicians and liberals are the worst. We cannot afford to lose this great country. There will never be another. I love our national anthem and our flag. We can solve any problems without disrespecting our heritage. Many thanks to our armed forces and our first responders. We need you now more than ever. Stay safe. Annette Lynch Alexander City

We are One of the best excuses Christians use to be like Christ in His love. Paul wrote is they don’t go to a particular church in Ephesians 5:2 to “live a life of love, anymore because there are two or three busybodies who “run the church” and they just as Christ loved us and gave himself want no part of it. But isn’t it strange when up for us.” We are to be like Christ in His patient endurance.

The Wetumpka Herald
PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your enthusiasm spills forth, allowing you to get into the groove of your day. Your attention turns to completing a project. You also might want to spend some time snoozing or getting into a game of cards with a friend. Enjoy the moment. Tonight: Do not push right now. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Make it OK to be lazy. A loved one could charm you into joining him or her in an activity. As a result, you could become involved in a creative project. Romance could spark, if you are single. Try to be less mechanical and more laissez faire. Tonight: Embrace the night. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) A phone call could start your day. You might decide to stay close to home, perhaps in anticipation of a visit or wanting to rearrange a room. You love change; you cannot help it. Embrace a spontaneous happening. Tonight: Invite a friend over for a potluck dinner. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Reach out to a friend or loved one with whom you often spend a lot of time. Together, you could create a fun and exciting day. Over lunch or a cup of coɈee, you could exchange some gossip. Take what you hear with a grain of salt. Tonight: Hang out with friends at a fun spot. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Your allure remains intense in the morning, yet by the afternoon, it could wane. You have interests elsewhere, whether that involves doing some price comparison for a purchase or working on a creative project. Others cannot stay away from you. Tonight: Out for dinner. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be tired when you Ă„rst wake up. Hit “snoozeâ€? and get more sleep. Once you wake up again, you’ll note all of the energy that seems to whirl around you. People seek you out. You have a particular mission in mind. Follow through. Tonight: Out till the wee hours.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might opt to maintain a low proĂ„le today. You have some issues you want to mull over. You also need some extra time for work or doing some research. A roommate or family member makes a proposition, as he or she wants your company. Tonight: Let it all hang out. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to an older person in the morning. This person appreciates your attentiveness, and you enjoy his or her company. Make plans to have friends over to your place this weekend. You might be in the mood to get everyone together. Tonight: So many stories to listen to. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) A day trip could be put on hold at the last minute. You might need to step up to the plate and take care of an older person. Others might respond to a request of yours that demands their presence. Come together to Ă„nd a workable solution. Tonight: Choose a fun stress-buster. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A conversation with a dear friend or loved one sets the mood for the day. You might opt to get out of your immediate environment. Some of you could choose to attend a fair or an art show. You will relax in a diɈerent setting. Tonight: Cozy up at home with a good book. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You see life from a renewed perspective because of a discussion with a close friend or loved one. You and this person have a strong bond that allows you to Ă…ow with ease from one activity to the next. You feel relaxed when sharing. Tonight: Have an animated discussion. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) If you feel the need to go oɈ to the gym or take a walk around the neighborhood, by all means, do. By the afternoon, you will be more in the mood to socialize and enjoy others’ company. In fact, you might invite people over. Tonight: Relax with a loved one.

Ware
continued from page 1
The board used the July ruling to release Ware from his duties as pastor. “We sent him a termination letter July 26,” board member Robert Boleware Jr. said. Sunday, July 29 guest minister Rev. Calvin Brown delivered a message from the pulpit where Ware once preached. “It is good to be here, even in such a time as this,” Brown told the small congregation. “The spirit assured me to tell you that He is working in our lives. He is still working in our lives. He is still working in Great Bethel. It is up to you to build what has been torn down.” Martin did not award any monies based on the part of the suit where plaintiffs claimed Ware misused church
monies instead, he also laid partial blame on the board. Martin said in his ruling “extensive sworn testimony and documentary evidence was received. At first blush there appears to be from the plaintiff’s evidence some basis for awarding the damages ($59,653.38). …That initial impression does not withstand the test of legal sufficiency. The evidence shows, through the years the defendant was a pastor at Great Bethel, a surprising lack of meaningful checks and balances over the financial operation of the church and a general lack of defined and followed organizational structure to implement the same.”
Martin said Ware could do what he did because the board had, “In short to borrow a phrase from another genre, there was a ‘complete lack of institutional control.’” The July ruling reinforces Martin’s statement following the June trial, in that he wants the parties to come to an agreement in the matter. “That’s something that both sides should be willing to do,” Martin said from the bench in June. “Without a joint resolution by both sides, there is not one thing that this court or anyone can do to save Great Bethel. …They are in the same boat and it’s sinking. Both sides shooting holes in the bottom isn’t helping. …Sometimes people come

to court and they think we’re going to win and they are going to lose. But sometimes everyone loses. That’s where they are now barring some sort of coming together.” Martin made a statement in the last paragraph of his ruling he was concerned about the future of the church from the start of litigation. “The court has held concern, from the early phases of this litigation, that the situation between plaintiffs and defendant could ultimately result in the demise of this fine old church,” Martin said in Thursday’s ruling. “If this comes to pass, it will be a sad commentary on the parties involved and a failure of the very purpose of the church.”

Marshall Street from the parking lot to Tallapoosa Street, over to the roundabout, then down Church Street before crossing over and returning to the parking lot. In addition to offering up special prayers for the military, public officials, first responders and others, there will also be special music along the way that ties in with each stop during the walk. The theme of Tuesday night’s walk is, “Together We Can,” emphasizing how, if the local churches and its members work together as one, they can make a difference in the community and the country through prayer. “We are inviting all of the churches in our area to take part, whether they are a member of the ministerial association or not,” Waldrop said. “It is an opportunity for everyone to come together and pray for all aspects of the community and the country.” Although Waldrop said he has not heard much from members of the community and is not entirely sure what to expect in total attendance, he does feel there could be a good turnout Tuesday night, as people are seeing the need for events like these. “We had a pretty good turnout the last time we had an event like this,” Waldrop said. “We are looking forward to this. It’s something that is very much needed.” Those interested in taking part can begin gathering in the student parking lot at 5:30 p.m., with the walk itself starting at 6 p.m. Waldrop estimated the entire event will take an hour, possibly an hour and 15 minutes in total.

TAKING A BREATHER
Winless Central Coosa has bye week at much-needed time By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Although the scores don’t show it, Central Coosa’s football team does seem to be making improvements from week to week. The Cougars knew they were in for a long season this year. With just 17 players on the roster and their third new coach in two years, expectations could be only so high. And although everyone would’ve liked better outcomes in the first two weeks — the Cougars lost, 36-0, to Winterboro and 42-0 against Holtville — it wasn’t exactly a surprise especially given their level of competition. “Unfortunately the schedule was already there when I got here,” Coosa coach Brett Thomas said. “The first game, although it was Winterboro, they were a playoff team from last year, and Holtville
is (Class) 4A and has a Division I recruit as their quarterback (Drake Baker). Out of all that, there were still positives in both games.” While other area teams began region play last night, Central Coosa was on a bye. The muchneeded break gave it a chance to step back and reevaluate some things. “It’s allowed us to look a lot of things that didn’t work,” Thomas said. “Realistically one of the biggest issues is the basics of tackling. We’re working on just the basics — how to properly tackle, how to take correct angles, things we should have been working on in the spring.” Due to Coosa’s low roster numbers as well as some players’ inability to easily participate in practice during the summer, the Cougars basically started the offseason during fall practice. Former coach Shane Rary did not have
enough participants to conduct real spring practices either. “That means we’re actually making our adjustments during the first two games,” Thomas said. “After the initial play started in both games, the defense buckled down and played better in the second half. We’re just trying to get our offense to get in sync from the blocking schemes to the backs, but it’s starting to come together.” Donta Daniel and Jamichael Chambliss continue to be the biggest playmakers for the Cougars, but they’ve also made some changes offensively with Jashaslin James getting more and more snaps at quarterback. James and TD Parker, who are both underclassmen, are also working as blocking backs for some offensive schemes. Dawson Duncan is playing on the offensive line, and Thomas said
one of the biggest improvements he’s seen this year is how many fewer bad snaps there have been this year than during last year’s opening two games. Tahj Robbins and Levi Crause have continued to anchor the lines. “With having only two experienced linemen in Tahj and Levi is we’re teaching them how to follow the ball and how to ward off blocks on the offensive line,” Thomas said. “Sometimes they’re not in the habit of playing offensive line, so they’ve made careless mistakes.” Although the bye week’s practices haven’t looked much different, Thomas said the Cougars have focused more on repetition as well as going over film and identifying mistakes then physically showing the players in practice how to correct those errors. Coosa kicks off Class 2A Region 4 play next week at Fayetteville, which is also winless.

Stanhope Elmore hands No. 10 BRHS first loss of season By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Benjamin Russell’s offense looked stuck in the mud. Although some of the offensive woes were due to the Wildcats’ silly mistakes, most of them were thanks to a Stanhope Elmore defense that was unstoppable. The Mustangs’ defensive line was hungry for a win Friday night, and it delivered a 19-0 shutout to open Class 6A Region 3 action. “They got after it,” SEHS coach Brian Bradford said. “They played relentless football. They were unselfish and they had that desire to get to the football in a bad mood, and that’s what they did. They played 100 percent and I’m proud to death of them.”
Benjamin Russell (2-1, 0-1) had a total of 10 negative plays and had just 33 rushing yards. “We were not hitting on any cylinders tonight,” Wildcat coach Kevin Smith said. “We didn’t do much of anything very well, and that goes from the coaching all the way down. If there is a positive, I don’t think we could’ve played any worse on offense if we tried to and we still came out 19-0. That goes to our defense and the defensive coaching staff.” To make matters worse for the Wildcats, they finished with four turnovers, and every time they seemed to get something going, a turnover or negative play negated it. Benjamin Russell’s offense looked decent in the opening drive, as Landon Cotney connected on a See BRHS • Page 4

19-yard pass to Nick McGhee, and Keedon Young busted out a 13-yard rush — his longest of the night — to take the Wildcats into enemy territory. But that was all for naught, as Stanhope Elmore’s Trey Hardy pulled down an interception to negate any threat. Similarly, midway through the second quarter, the Mustangs (2-1, 1-0) fumbled a punt, and it was picked up by Benjamin Russell’s Kobi Crabb in Stanhope territory. Then Marlon Hunt Jr. had a pick of his own to set the Stanhope Elmore offense back up. The Mustangs went up 12-0 late in the first quarter, and although the Wildcats looked to respond as Za Stowes had a long return to put them once again past midfield, a fumble recovered by Stanhope’s Ladorian Leonard ended that threat. Then in the fourth quarter, BRHS’ Joe Young had a clutch fumble recovery while Stanhope was in the red zone, but the Mustangs answered with one of their own from Quentarius Edwards. “We were definitely turnover happy,” Smith said. “That’s something we’re going to address this week. In those cases, you got to put a priority on it. It’s like not we don’t, but it was way too many. Whether it’s on the back or whoever, you can’t point fingers. We just gotta say, ‘We put the ball on the ground, we gave it to them and we put our defense back on the field,’ and we can’t do that.” In addition to Stanhope’s defensive prowess, the Mustangs also showed their versatility offensively with multiple skill players getting touches throughout the night. The Mustangs got a 47-yard touchdown reception from Kerenski McGhee to Ali McMillian; a 21-yard run from Tray Duncan; and a 31-yard pass from Jeremy Powers Jr. to Conner Bradford. “In the past — I’ve been calling offense here for 11 years — but we’ve been one dimensional,” coach Bradford said. “We’ve had some

great offensive lines and great running backs, so it was easy to scheme against us but hard to stop us. Now that we’ve spread the ball out and we have so many weapons everywhere, it makes it a whole lot harder for teams. We still have a good offensive line and good running backs, but now we have good receivers to match it.”
Although the scoreboard was lopsided, Benjamin Russell also had a pretty stellar performance defensively, especially considering it was on the field for the majority of the game. Brett Pitts was a clear standout, finishing with five tackles for a loss and two sacks. “I thought the defense played lights

Homecoming win keeps Wetumpka undefeated By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer
Wetumpka shook off a slow offensive start to put away Calera on Homecoming night at Hohenberg Field. The hosts used strong performances by running backs DeAngelo Jones and Terrance Thomas to come away with the win in the first region game of the season. “Both of our running backs are great downhill guys,” Wetumpka coach Tim Perry said. “They fight for those extra yards after contact. Very rarely do they go down on the first hit.” The two backs combined for 143 rushing yards and three touchdowns for Wetumpka (3-0, 1-0 Class 6A Region 3). Jones finished with 97 yards on a team-high 15 carries. His 4-yard touch-
down run at the end of the opening quarter was the first score of the game and gave the home team a 9-0 lead. The senior added another short touchdown run at the end of the third quarter to put the hosts up 30-0. The play capped off a 13-play, 58-yard drive. Jones said those are the kind of drives that can help put a team away. “It felt like we can’t be stopped,” Jones said. “If we can do that, we can beat anybody. We want to continue to run the ball down their throats and they can’t stop us.” Thomas made his impact in a different aspect of the game in the first half. After a safety, he returned the Calera kick 60 yards to set Wetumpka up for its opening touchdown. In the second See WETUMPKA • Page 6

Wetumpka quarter, Thomas got his hand on a punt which set the hosts up deep inside their opponent’s territory again. “Just getting down the field and doing what you have to do,” Thomas said. “After practice, I work on that speed burst so that when I’m not doing running back stuff, I can make plays.” Before the end of the night, Thomas also made some noise in the rushing game. His 36-yard touchdown run put Wetumpka up 23-0 and set the tone for the second half of the game. The Indians finished with 299 rushing yards, scoring four of their five touchdowns on the ground. Junior Joshua Allen added the final touchdown of the night for Wetumpka with a 7-yard run. Quarterback Tyquan Rawls got in on the action with 66 rushing yards of his own but his passing ability was not needed. He finished with 57 yards through the air and connected with E.J. Rogers for his only touchdown pass of the night. “Offensively, we were a little sluggish to start but we challenged them in the second half,” Perry said. “We were proud of the way they responded.” Wetumpka had only 120 yards of offense in the first half but were helped out by great field position. Both of the team’s touchdowns before halftime came from drives that started within 30 yards of the end zone. “It’s huge because those opportunities are pretty rare,” Perry said. “We want to capitalize on those. They can swing the momentum in games.” Calera (0-3, 0-1) could not find much success offensively, especially after senior quarterback Cornelious Brown went out with what appeared to be a head injury. The Eagles threw for just 31 yards on 15 pass attempts. Starting running back Ashton Shoddie ran for 26 yards on 10 carries. “I thought we played okay but we still have a long way to go to be able to compete with a team with that much depth,” Calera coach Andrew Zow said. “They fought hard in the second

Zow said he is looking forward to the response from his team as the Eagles will be traveling to Stanhope Elmore next Friday night. Wetumpka will host Opelika next

The Indians have lost each of the last two meetings by a single point but look to grab a stronghold of the region early in the season. “We’ve got another area game next week so we’ll celebrate this one tonight but then we’ll have our eyes set on next week for Opelika,” Jones said.

Dadeville’s Javuntae Holley runs against Southside Selma. The Tigers rebounded from last week’s tough loss with a win Friday night.
BOUNCING BACK:
Dadeville opens region play with win over Southside Selma
Southside Selma coach Daniel Flowers said, “We prepared all week. We just, from us getting from Southside to here, it kinda hurt us a little bit. It was just a bad mood for us.” Dadeville (2-1, 1-0) seized momentum right out of the gate, taking the opening kickoff out to its own 36-yard line. Six plays later, aided by two Southside offside penalties, quarterback Slade McCullers found Zander McClendon in the end zone. Although the kick failed, the Tigers refused to let momentum go until halftime. Seven seconds later, Dadeville struck paydirt again, when Alex Walker scooped and scored on a Panther fumble. McCullers rushed in a two-point conversion,
but a false start negated the play. On the redo, his pass fell incomplete, leaving the Tigers ahead 12-0. Despite Dadeville scoring again in the opening frame, when McCullers found Cooper Childers from 11 yards out, then tacking on another six points when Javuntae Holley pounded the rock in at the start of the second quarter to take a 25-0 lead, Southside Selma (0-3, 0-1) had its moments in the first half. Forced to punt on a fourth and 23, the Panthers recovered a Dadeville fumble on the return, setting themselves up with a new set of downs near midfield. Quarterback Malik Johnson moved the ball through the air, finding Derrick Caffey on third and eight, and despite being See DADEVILLE • Page 8

After a humiliating loss to rival Reeltown, the Dadeville Tigers rebounded to win their first home game and first Class 3A Region 3 game of the season, downing the Southside Selma Panthers 31-13. “We just had to get rid of last week’s loss,” Dadeville coach Richard White said. “This is one that matters as far as playoffs are concerned. I thought we played well first half; second half, we were sloppy. We have to clean that up if we’re going to be a good team, if we want to be in competition for the playoffs, we have to clean the second half of this game up.”

sacked to set up a third and 24, rushed forward to make it a manageable fourth and 2 at the Dadeville 28. However, any momentum the Panthers gained on the drive was squandered when Johnson fumbled when trying to convert. The first half ended with the Tigers making a fairly strong stand after letting the Panthers get all the way down to the Dadeville 24. A block in the back penalty pushed Southside back 10 yards, then Ladarius Heard sacked Johnson for a 12-yard loss. Dadeville forced Southside to punt, running two plays before the half came to an end. The Panthers began to build some traction after the break, finally hanging their first points of the game on the board after Johnson hit Trendarius Carter on a 4-yard pass early in the third quarter, before William Wright’s PAT narrowed the gap to 25-7. Dadeville then chewed up more than five minutes of clock, moving the ball all the way down to the Southside 12, but the Panther defense stood strong and forced two incomplete passes from McCullers to turn the ball over on downs. However, Southside squandered a prime chance when, after moving the ball to the Tiger 42, lost the ball on a fumble. Turnover woes plagued both teams in the final frame when Dadeville’s first play of the fourth quarter at midfield resulted in a fumble. The very next play, the Tigers got it right back when the Panthers coughed the ball up on a bad snap fumble. “We started subbing pretty liberally and we had to quit,” White said. “The guys we put in there, they were not getting lined up correctly, weren’t doing what they were supposed to be doing so we had to put our first unit back on the field.” After stopping the Tigers again on fourth down, Johnson was picked off when Walker again came up with a big play. However, Dadeville soon gave the ball back on a fumble, which Southside scooped and scored to narrow the gap to 25-13.

This was as close as the Panthers got though, when Holley rushed in from 1 yard out with just over four minutes to go to set the final score of 31-13. One thing both coaches said needed to be cleaned up moving forward was not committing so many penalties. Southside had multiple plays called dead on a false start, at least two ineligible receiver penalties and a handful of delay of game calls, while Dadeville
had a block in the back, a facemask and an unsportsmanlike penalty. “We’ve got to tell our kids to be disciplined,” Flowers said. As both teams move forward and continue in region play, both coaches said there were good things to take away from Friday night, but there are still things to be worked on and improved as the season continues. “We’re gonna watch the film and
we’re gonna take the good that we did and try to get better at that and the bad that we did, try to clean that up and fix it and hopefully get better next week,” White said. “The thing we’ve gotta do with this team is get better every week.” Flowers said, “At times we did well, we just need consistency. We’ve just got to get back to the drawing board and get our guys ready to play again. We’ve got to move forward. Just move forward.”

Panthers rise to 2-0 with barnburner win over Leeds By DAVID GOODWIN For Tallapoosa Publishers
D.J. Patrick somersaulted into the end zone for his seventh touchdown and the winning score in Elmore County’s memorable 35-28 victory over the Leeds Greenwave on Friday night. As he gathered the team around him at the 50-yard line, ECHS coach Jordan Cantrell faked seriousness to quiet his players, but then let his 2-0 elation bubble free. “Freaking 2-0 baby!” he screamed to a roar of excitement from the players, who have already equaled the team’s win total from last season. Cantrell praised Leeds for battling back from a 21-point deficit. “That’s why they win championships
over there, the way that they play,” he said. “But we’re proud of our guys and we’re ready to get on that championship list.” The Panthers dominated the first half. The defense forced three turnovers, including a strip-and-grab mugging by Keshawn Benson and an interception by Hayden Bass. And Patrick rocketed loose for a trio of touchdown sprints, from 61, 61, and 60 yards respectively. “He’s bad to the bone,” Cantrell said, “and we have a bad-to-the-bone offensive front to back him up.” But Leeds would battle back. A short strike by Leeds quarterback Nick Armstrong gave the Greenwave some life as time expired on the half. And the visiting team ground out an almost See ECHS • Page 10

ECHS nine-minute scoring drive to open the second half. Leeds tied the game early in the fourth quarter with a 65-yard punt return by Omar Conlin. It didn’t take long for Patrick to answer back. The senior nearly broke free on the ensuing kickoff but was dragged down at the 50. But on the first play from scrimmage, he finished the job, breaking multiple tackles on a 50-yard touchdown run. But then Leeds counterpunched. After escaping a fourth-and-2 situation near the Panthers’ red zone, Leeds workhorse Jacoby Hunter pounded in for a 5-yard touchdown to knot the score at 28. The Panther defense took over again as the fourth quarter ticked below three minutes. After a near-disastrous fumble, defensive coordinator Rodney Taylor’s squad forced Leeds to punt. Then on fourth and 4, with under a minute to go, ECHS quarterback Austin Downey hit senior Shakwan Bickley for his only completion of the game, a 35-yarder to the 1-yard line. After Patrick’s somersaulting score put the Panthers up for good, Bickley would add one more contribution, pulling down the Leeds return man near the 50 to save another touchdown. Patrick finished with an eyepopping 306 yards on 19 carries, with seven touchdowns. Cantrell said the defense was “rocking and rolling” all night. “OK, we gave up points in the second half, but man…” he said, noting the size of the Greenwave’s offensive front. “We’re going to be outsized in every game we play, that’s the honest truth. We’re going to be outsized, but can we outlast, do we have the guts? “We have the guts.”

Greenville puts Tallassee on the ropes early in first 5A loss By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For Tallapoosa Publishers
After two weeks spent teetering on the edge, the Tallassee Tigers finally fell over into the Class 5A wood chipper dropping their first game of the 2018 campaign to the visiting Greenville Tigers 40-21 at Hot O’Brien Stadium. “They played well and we played very poorly,” Tallassee coach Mike Battles said. “I guess we didn’t prepare well enough. Our kids weren’t ready to play and that’s something we are going to have figure out.” The Tigers relied on late defensive stands to hang on in their previous two wins fell behind 19-0 in the opening stanza of Friday’s affair. Greenville’s strategy was a simple one: “Jump on the folks in purple and gold as soon as the whistle blows.” “That was our goal,” Greenville coach Josh McClendon said. “We wanted to come out and start fast. Our goal was to come out and be aggressive

Greenville didn’t waste any time in its opening drive. Quarterback Javion Posey, who totaled 255 yards of offense, found a hole in the Tallassee secondary and exploited it for a 42-yard touchdown pass and catch to Christopher Bedgood for the first touchdown of the game. Tallassee fumbled on the next possession giving the ball back to the white Tigers. They needed only three plays to double their lead. On two carries, Aarick Boggan moved the ball inside the hometown Tigers’ 35. Then after shifting around inside the pocket to dodge Tallassee tacklers, Posey connected with Brian Haynes over the middle for the score from 27 yards out. With the point after (which became a hit or miss prospect all night for Greenville) the visiting Tigers pushed ahead 13-0. “(Posey) is a heck of a player. He’s got to continue to work and make sure he stays humble,” McClendon said. “If he can do that, I think we See TALLASSEE • Page 12

have a chance at being a heck of a football team.” But Tallassee didn’t lay down. The Tigers began to string some things together. Kalvin Levett and Trent Cochran-Gill rattled off back-to-back 8-yard runs. Levett then hit Tavarious Griffin on a swing pass for a gain of 17. The purple and gold crossed the Greenville 40 and made it down to their 35. The Levett was sacked on third down. Electing to roll the dice on fourth down, he took the snap and dropped back with Greenville defenders giving chase and setting up the middle screen to Cochran-Gill. The play was there, but at the last minute, Greenville’s Daveonte Porterfield stepped in front of the pass and intercepted it. The big defensive lineman quickly fell to the ground. After the turnover, Greenville used a trio of Boggan runs to move inside the Tallassee 5. Posey capped the drive on first and goal, scoring from 4 yards out, leaving Tallassee down 19-0 after the first. Momentum began to swing in the second quarter, though. After a penalty on the previous play, Levett broke free on a scamper. He cut left, right and zig-zagged through the defense before being tackled at the Greenville 6-yard line. “We never quit,” Battles said. “They are a very good team but they didn’t get to see a very good Tallassee team tonight either. We made a lot of mistakes and there were a lot of things we couldn’t do because they were so fast on both sides of the ball.” Two plays later Markevious Mathews took the snap on a Student Body left sweep scoring from fiveyards out. Tallassee elected to go for two but had the conversion attempt stuffed to cut Greenville’s lead to 19-6. That was as close as Tallassee got. In the second quarter, Greenville scored twice more to go up 34-6

heading into the locker room. Greenville’s final score the night came midway through the third quarter as Posey completed a fourth and goal pass to Justice Palmer in the end zone for the touchdown. With a 34-point lead, grass-stained jerseys began to be replaced with crisp white ones. “Hats off to their coaches because they could have run it up on us pretty good,” Battles said. “But they chose to let some young kids get some playing time on a night like tonight.

Thorsby shuts out Generals, 39-0 By TRAVIS HERRMANN For Tallapoosa Publishers
T
he Horseshoe Bend Generals and Thorsby Rebels opened their first Class 2A Region 4 game Friday as Thorsby wide receiver Tyler Jackson set the tone for the evening with a kick return for a touchdown. Thorsby kept up the momentum beating Horseshoe Bend, 39-0. “It was a tough game,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett said. “We were just out-played. They were a lot more physical than we were.” Horseshoe Bend fought hard with quarterback
Nywanski Russell passing and scrambling under constant pressure from the Thorsby defensive front. Missed snaps in the third quarter pushed Horseshoe Bend (0-3, 0-1) into its own redzone. Russell led the Generals in rushing with 17 yards on eight carries. “We thought we could hurt them on some different things,” Thorsby coach Daryl Davis said. “We lined up like that and it was pretty much what we thought.” The Thorsby offense marched steadily under the direction of quarterback Christian Fortner. “I thought we played really well as a team,” Fortner said. The senior led Thorsby (3-0, 1-0) in scoring with three rushing touchdowns and one two-point conver-
sion. Fortner was also excited about his teammates’ performance. “The defense did great and held them to a shutout,” he said. Thorsby sophomore Brody Barnett closed the game for the Rebels with a rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. “The boys came out and did their job,” Davis said. “(They) played hard and took care of business.” Despite 14 penalties, including three personal fouls, Thorsby kept the Horseshoe Bend ball possession to a minimum. “As far as I know we’ve never beaten Horseshoe Bend,” Davis said. “That was one of our things all week that we would come out here and change that.”

Handley used a big second quarter to defeat Holtville 30-7 on Friday night. The Tigers (1-1, 1-0 Class 4A Region 4) scored 23 points in the final 8:07 of the first half to win the region opener at home. Holtville (1-1, 0-1) could not figure things out on the offensive side of the ball. The Bulldogs finished with 122 yards of offense, averaging 2.5 yards per play. “We got behind the sticks offensively and could just never get the field flipped
over,” coach Jason Franklin said. Quarterback Drake Baker completed seven of his 14 pass attempts for 42 yards and threw an interception. The team’s only score came in the final quarter when backup Braxton Buck hit Peyton Coburn for a 25-yard touchdown pass. Holtville was unable to succeed through the air but things were not going better for the rushing attack. The visitors finished with 2 rushing yards on 26 carries. Handley finished with 13 tackles for a loss and one sack. The lone sack on Baker came in the second quarter and resulted in a safety. Handley’s defense was also able to score on a 50-yard
fumble return which gave the hosts a 14-0 lead. The Tigers had weaknesses of their own but were able to make up for them. They finished with 345 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. Quarterback QuonDarius Lyons scored the opening touchdown on a 65-yard run and finished with 147 yards of offense. Devontae Houston added two rushing touchdowns and finished with 121 yards on 23 carries. The team averaged 7.5 yards per carry. Holtville forced four turnovers but did not convert any of them into points. Senior Tristan Watson had an interception
for the Bulldogs. “Most of the turnovers we got were inside our 20-yard line,” Franklin said. “We were never able to get out of that. They turned it over but we were never in a great situation.” Holtville will look to bounce back next week when it returns home to continue region play against Childersburg at Boykin Field. “We preach to them that it’s their responsibility to pick themselves up and pick each other up after a loss,” Franklin said. “That was a good team and we just have to realize there’s a lot left in the season ahead of us.”

Reeltown shuts out Fayetteville, 48-0 By DUSTIN DUNCAN Staff Writer

eeltown coach Matt Johnson and his Rebels weren’t looking past the Fayetteville Wolves on Friday night, picking up a 48-0 victory in Fayetteville in Class 2A Region 4. “We were preaching not to play our competition but to play ourselves and get better each and every play,” Johnson said. “For the most part, I feel we did that.” The Wolves were hanging around during the first quarter, behind by only seven at the start of the
second quarter. The Rebels’ first score came on a 34-yard touchdown run by senior Keke Hughley on Reeltown’s third play from scrimmage. That is when the floodgates opened. On the first play of the second quarter, Rebel running back Cameron Faison took a handoff and sliced through the Fayetteville defense for a 35-yard touchdown. After an ensuing three-and-out by the Wolves (0-3, 0-1), Faison scored on a 43-yard touchdown run, bringing the score to 21-0. The next Fayetteville drive, backup senior quarterback Jon Pate was intercepted by Hughley, taking the ball to the 4-yard line. Three plays later, senior quarterback Khoner Davis scored on a 1-yard run.
Fayetteville fumbled its next snap from scrimmage on a bad exchange from quarterback to center, allowing Reeltown (3-0, 1-0) to gain possession and an 8-yard rushing touchdown from sophomore running back Johnny Brown. After gaining a first down and moving the football to about midfield, Pate was intercepted again by Jonathan Burkhalter. The game went into halftime with Reeltown leading 41-0. During halftime, both sidelines agreed to six minutes quarters in the second half, resulting in a quick end in the rout. The final score came with 26 See REELTOWN • Page 18

seconds left in the third quarter when Rebel backup quarterback Logan Hunt scored on a 1-yard run, set up by a 38-yard run by Burkhalter. Reeltown finished the first half with 162 yards on the ground from 13 carries resulting in seven first downs. The Wolves were held to less than 40 yards at halftime. Faison finished the game with
five carries for 110 yards and two scores. Hughley went for 39 yards on three carries and an interception. During the blowout win for Reeltown, many of the backups got valuable playing time under the lights Friday night. “Just because those guys don’t normally play on Friday night, they put the same amount of work as everybody else,” Johnson said.

Fayetteville coach John Limbaugh knew he had a tough game and said he just wanted to survive this week and move on to region play. “Reeltown is a really good football team, and they are probably going to play for a state championship,” he said. “We wanted to come out and play better and get ready for the rest of our region play.” The injury bug did hit the
Wolves, causing Limbaugh to call on younger players. Starting quarterback Andrew Machen injured his elbow in the second half and was taken to the emergency room. Limbaugh said he didn’t think it was broken but it swelled up before Machen left. “We have to heal up, lick our wounds and come out and play another game next week,” he said.

Lyman Ward falters in opening game Thursday night STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

lthough Lyman Ward lost 56-24 against New Life Christian to open the season Thursday night, the Fighting Rangers are still seeing meaningful positives. Lyman Ward is trying to rebuild its program and starting to prepare for the daunting task of playing 11-man football next year, so having something to build off is a good way to start. “The biggest positives that I saw and talking with some of the people who have been here, the guys never gave up,” LWMA first-year coach Roland Bell said. “Throughout the entire game, they were encouraging each other. We’re teaching them the way football is supposed to be played. It’s not just about your position or your skills; it’s the whole big picture and they’re having to learning everything on the fly.” Because most of Lyman Ward’s players are from outside the area, it’s difficult for the Rangers to do much work in the offseason. However, the Rangers got a strong performance from quarterback Joseph Reese, who scored three touchdowns. “He’s just a super athlete,” Bell said. “If the play wasn’t there, he wouldn’t make one. We called pass balls, but if Joseph didn’t see anything, he’d take off running. We don’t want him hanging out back there

too long anyway because he can run, so we had a whole bunch more rushes than passes.” Bogdan Maples also scored once for Lyman Ward.

Wildcats open region play with road win STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
In just his fourth career start at quarterback, sophomore Alex Johnson led Edgewood Academy to a 44-13 win over No. 10 Springwood on Friday night with 214 yards of offense and three touchdowns. The Wildcats (3-1, 1-0 AISA-AA Region 1) finished with 484 offensive yards and scored six first-half touchdowns to earn the road win. Springwood (2-1, 0-1) scored on its first play from scrimmage but it did not take long for the visitors to respond. Johnson connected with Kam Burleson on an 80-yard pass to even the score in the first quarter. Burleson finished with night with 92 receiving yards. “It was really good to see our team take a hit in the mouth and be able to respond,” Edgewood coach Darryl Free said. “The kids are really starting to buy in to the idea that it’s about getting better every snap.” Johnson’s big night continued into the second quarter with a 22-yard touchdown run to put the Wildcats up 28-7. Less than three minutes
later, Johnson hit Kaleb Varner with a 25-yard touchdown pass. Johnson finished the night with 170 passing yards and the two touchdowns while completing eight of his 15 pass attempts. Varner had a teamhigh four receptions for 53 yards while Carson Peevy added a 25-yard reception. Kolby Potts had another big week for the Wildcats on a limited amount of carries. He finished with 177 yards and three touchdowns on 12 rushing attempts. All three of his scores came in the first half, including a 68-yard touchdown run to finish the half, giving Edgewood a 42-7 lead going into the locker rooms. “We wanted to get that confidence that we could win in the region when it counted,” Free said. Edgewood held the home team’s strong rushing attack to just 104 yards. The Wildcats allowed just one pass completion which went for no gain. The visitors also forced three turnovers, including an interception by junior Robert Stewart. “We can’t be satisfied,” Free said. “When you win a ball game, you set a new standard.”
The Rangers played much better the second half and actually were 6-6 with New Life in the last two quarters, but they had dug themselves too much of a hole to recover. “The biggest thing that I talked to them about before the game and the last couple practices was about game speed,” Bell said. “You think you’re running hard out here, but you’ll find out in the first half of the game that what you think is running hard right now is not game speed. New Life already had a couple games under their belt, so it took the first half for us to figure it out. “The second half, we outplayed them. It didn’t put us up as far as a comeback, but statistically and all that stuff that doesn’t count, we outplayed them. We were down there a couple times and just couldn’t punch it in.” Bell said defensively, Stone Crowson had a standout game and forced New Life to adjust to him. Although he started at cornerback, Crowson had several tackles at the line of scrimmage, and the Eagles flip-flopped their play calls to avoid him. Despite the loss, Bell is looking forward to next week’s game. The Rangers face off against Lighthouse Christian, which is 0-3 on the season. “As much improvement as I saw between the first and second halves (Thursday), if we just keep that improvement up, I think we’ll be just fine next week,” Bell said.
