entral Coosa Elementary School was on the receiving end of good news Thursday as Buffalo Soldiers came to the rescue.

The Central Alabama chapter of the organization stopped by the school to deliver paper towels, toilet paper and other items the school can use.

Bernard Ellington serves as a bus driver in Coosa County and is also the president of the Buffalo Soldiers Central Alabama Chapter.

“I am just proud we can help,” Ellington said. “I know personally what the needs are here.”

Central Coosa Elementary School principal Kara Forbus joked with Ellington as he pulled up on his motorcycle.

“I knew that was you,” Forbus said. “You have a yellow bike.”

“Just like a yellow bus,” Ellington quipped back.

All joking aside, Ellington said the Buffalo Soldiers are always involved in the community from See DONATION • Page 3

Buffalo Soldiers of Central Alabama president Bernard Ellington, left, and vice president Darrell Armour unload toiletries the group donated to Central Coosa Elementary School Thursday morning.

While Christmas is still more than four months away, Alexander City’s Flint Hill United Methodist Church has teamed up with local theater group ACT II to put on a special Christmas program and is looking for members of the public to audition and be a part of the performance.

This year’s program will be a reenactment of the nativity story, with music provided through the Flint Hill choir and actors and actresses found through auditions ACT II will be holding, according to Flint Hill choir director and ACT II board member Mary Perry.

“We were having a board meeting discussing things we could do for a Christmas performance,” Perry said. “I had this idea and just threw it out there. It was very well received.”

Along with having the choir from Flint Hill involved, Perry said the production team is looking to bring in around eight more See AUDITIONS • Page 3

Celebrating 25 Years!

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are happily married, but have one serious problem. Our sleeping habits are incompatible. I am an extremely light sleeper; he is a horrendous snorer.

He sees a snoring specialist and tried several medical treatments, none of which worked. The only solution is a minor surgical procedure.

He doesn’t want to have the surgery. He insists he “sleeps fine,” and says I’m the one with the problem.

I have tried earplugs, white noise machines, sleep medications and more, but I cannot get a decent sleep with the obnoxious snoring. He stays up much later than I do, and I enjoy sleeping in our master bedroom until he comes to bed. I usually get driven out of the room by the noise.

We agree we don’t want to sleep in separate rooms and lose the intimacy, but it’s the only option for me to sleep well. Neither of us wants to give up the master bedroom because it’s the only one with

“intimacy bed” does not always have to be the “sleeping bed.”

Good sleep quality is necessary for us to function properly.

DEAR ABBY Advice

an attached bathroom.

Am I wrong for asking him to have surgery so we can share a bed? And if he won’t, who should get the master bedroom? -- SLEEPLESS IN LOUISIANA DEAR SLEEPLESS: Let’s be honest. By now your husband knows full well he doesn’t “sleep fine.” The reason for his reluctance is fear of the surgery. It wasn’t wrong of you to ask, and out of consideration for you and the intimacy in your marriage he shouldn’t have refused.

However, because he insists on coming into the master bedroom, which he knows wakes you, for the sake of your health, take the other bedroom. Understand, the

DEAR ABBY: I have five grown children and three grandchildren. They have always come first, especially my grandchildren. When I began the relationship with my husband, I told him how important both were to me and that, no matter what, my grandchildren always came first. He agreed and said he felt the same way.

Now, two years into our marriage, my daughter and grandchildren want to come live with us for nine months while her husband is deployed. My husband is freaking out and keeps complaining every day even though they aren’t even here yet. He has pushed me to my breaking point, and I am not sure what to do. I would never tell him that or act that way toward his children or grandchildren. I’m now considering divorce. What should I do?

-- FAMILY FIRST IN THE SOUTH DEAR FAMILY FIRST: I can’t help but wonder how you would REALLY feel if the shoe was on the other foot. Would you be as accommodating as you expect him to be, or would you be panicking, too?

Remind your husband that this is what he agreed to before your marriage, and point out that this isn’t forever.

It will be for only nine months.

Tell him it will be an opportunity for him to get to know the grandkids and vice versa.

Who knows? He might even enjoy it.

If he’s still unhappy after a reasonable period of time after they arrive, then it may be time to discuss separating. But don’t jump the gun.

Rating helped with that part of the score.”

The points scored in this area, called “Community Risk Reduction,” were crucial in getting the improved rating.

The department received 4.48 of the 5.5 points available. Part the score reflects where department personnel visited local businesses and schools to put together a fire plan for larger facilities.

Ten points were available for “Emergency Communications” and the department received a 9.55.

The fire department itself can receive up to 50 points in the rating. The evaluation looks at equipment, training and personnel. The May review gave the department a 43. It is something the department can improve on according to McAlister, but it takes funding.

“It takes more people and more equipment,” he said. “It would require things like another ladder truck.”

Water supply is crucial to any firefighting and it is a huge part of the review, making up 40 percent of the score. The May review by the Insurance Services Office gave Alexander City

people to sing with the choir, though if more show interest in these singing parts, they will not be turned away. The rest of the program will need approximately 27 other performers, according to Perry. These include the traditional roles of Joseph, Mary and the angel Gabriel, along with the shepherds and the Magi. Perry said the production staff is looking for children and adults to fill the roles of the shepherds and the Magi, while also looking for children to play angels, some of whom will sing and some of whom will dance.

Some of these roles have speaking parts, while some (particularly the shepherds and the Magi) will merely act out their parts, pantomiming their emotions and reactions to certain moments in the performance. While some roles will be more involved than others, Perry said anyone and everyone is welcome to audition and be a part of the program.

“I feel this will be a wonderful production, especially with ACT II helping out,” Perry said. “We will be able to have more flexibility and a greater production capability.”

Public auditions for the program will be from 6 to 8 p.m. Sept. 13 and from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. Sept.

16, both of which will be held at the ACT II facility on Tallapoosa Street.

Performances of the program will be Tuesday, Nov. 27 at Flint Hill UMC, Friday, Nov. 30 at the Hackneyville Community Center and Sunday, Dec. 2 at a place to be determined later. All three performances will be open to the public.

benefit rides for club and community members to raising funds for other causes too.

“We do a lot of benefit rides.

We have a scholarship for students from our region,” Ellington said.

“We also help with scholarships with the Southeastern Frontier, a five state group of Buffalo Soldiers and a national scholarship program.”

Ellington said back in March they helped raise more than $6,500 for the Lupus Foundation.

The Central Alabama Chapter of Buffalo Soldiers is comprised of members stretching from Lee County up to Talladega County.

Members from Tallapoosa and Coosa counties were on hand for the donation Thursday.

Forbus said the school was happy to see the paper goods and would be happy to help the group in future endeavors.

“We are so appreciative of everything,” she said. “We are proud of everyone one of you. If we can help you all promote anything just let us know.”

only 30.55 of 40 points available. The requirements to get all 40 points require hydrants every 1,000 feet or better and water pressure on the lines of 2,500 gallons per minute or more. The pressure becomes an issue on older water systems as pipes age.

The department also lost 1.93 points due to a divergent score between the fire department score and the water supply.

Basically, the department has capabilities beyond the water supply.

The new ISO 2/2x rating will improve insurance rates, but it is difficult to know how much as insurance providers use different formulas, policies and value variables such as construction materials differently.

The new rating can help recruit industry as developers often look at the rating when determining where to locate.

McAlister hopes the department can improve on the rating and get to ISO 1.

“The better ratings come with more people and more water,” McAlister said.

“There are only so many of the little things you can do.”

Firefighter recruits wait for the next round up the tower during a training session.

The Outlook is looking for well thought out letters of opinion. It doesn’t matter if anyone agrees with you. That’s the beauty of having an opinion — it’s yours and nobody has to agree with it.

We often hear folks complaining and griping wishing things could be differently. But what are those folks actually doing about it? Are they attending the city council meetings or public forums? Are they writing letters to their representatives?

We encourage everyone to try and do something about the things you’re unhappy with. Think some things in our city, state or national government need to change?

Write us a letter about it. Make your opinion known.

What do you think about the idea to do away with the 1-cent sales tax in Tallapoosa County? Should it stay, and why?

Do you have thoughts on how Tallapoosa County can attract more new businesses and industry that will provide jobs for our residents?

Have you been on the receiving end of a good deed and would like to give credit where credit is due?

Do you have a bone to pick with any of the stories in this newspaper?

If you have something to say about any of these questions, then the answer is a letter to the editor or a guest column. This newspaper’s editorial page is an open forum for our community and we encourage you to write us. It’s free.

his past week my sweet wife and I celebrated 54 years of marriage. When you think she has been married 54 years, and I have been married 54 years, then we have 108 years of married life together. Oh, my aching bones, I suddenly feel old.

However, because it was our anniversary I pointed out how fortunate she was to have such a loving, sweet, kind and considerate man around the house. She wanted to know who moved in and how long he was going to stay. I let her know in no uncertain terms I was talking about yours truly.

Her only reply was she appreciated what I said because she needed a good laugh. I can tell you I didn’t laugh.

I reminded her of all the wonderful years we’ve had together. I was surprised when she agreed there were good years. As a matter of fact, she thought 10 out of 54 weren’t so bad. When I asked her to tell me which years were the best, she thought about it for a while and then revised them down to eight years.

It was enough to make me wish I hadn’t been writing such nice things about her over the years.

When I pointed out over these years we had two fine sons who have

Recently I received an award from Russell Medical, it was a lifetime achievement award. It was quite a surprise and honor to receive this award.

I have been practicing medicine for more than 60 years. I have received numerous comments and congratulations.

I have recently become aware some people think this was a notification of my retirement. This is far from the fact.

I would like to correct this misunderstanding. I have no intention of retiring from my medical practice. I have an

excellent relationship with my patients, my peers and my staff.

I have a few physical problems as everyone has, but I am still capable of carrying on my medical practice as I have for years.

I graduated from an excellent school of pharmacy at Auburn in 1950, attended an excellent medical school at UAB (then known as Medical College of Alabama) and I did my residency at an excellent hospital, Carraway Methodist Medical Center.

I have been practicing medicine in Alexander City since 1960. I am privileged to work with two

experienced family medicine physicians for many years.

We have the opportunity to provide our patients many services in our facility with state of the art equipment.

Again, I want to emphasize that I am not retiring. I will continue to practice good quality medicine as long as God will permit.

I would like to thank the community for its loyalty, friendship and confidence.

May God bless each and every one of you.

Listen carefully, and make sure you understand where others are coming from. Initiate a talk to clear the air.

Know that you might not have all the answers just yet. Tonight: Join your friends for TGIF. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could experience a jolt once you leave home. Some news involving a friend or associate elicits a strong internal response. No matter what is happening around you, you stay poised and know what is necessary to complete a project. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might need to look beyond the obvious, especially in conversations and one-on-one interactions.

Understand what is happening with those around you. Your words will express a lot of knowledge and make communication easier.

Tonight: Where you can hear great music.

Reaching more than 22,000 households in Tallapoosa and Elmore counties

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You Ă„nd that a loved one is intense and has eyes only for you. How Ă…attering! You might want to decide how involved you want to become.

You could Änd your decision diɉcult to stick to. A family member would prefer to keep you close to home.

Tonight: Enjoy every moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be delighted by a loved one’s or close associate’s poise when dealing with a diɉcult matter.

Ask yourself: When did you last share your thoughts about this person with him or her? You might want to be more expressive. Tonight: Meet up with friends at a favorite spot.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You like to indulge others; however, you really need to watch your tendency to overspend. You have a lot to do before you feel ready to complete a certain project. You might need to defer to others for now. Tonight: Be willing to say that you are tired, and make it an early night.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You could have to deal with a problem that you’d prefer to walk away from. Tap into your creativity. You recognize where there is a problem and where a change needs to occur.

Before you reveal your thoughts, you might decide how to make this adjustment. Tonight: Time for fun!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Avoid a stubborn attitude, whether it is yours or someone else’s. You could Änd that enjoying yourself is close to impossible. Let go, and make the most of the moment.

You need to honor your sense of direction. Complete what you must.

Tonight: Celebrate the night away.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Someone you care about can talk your ear oɈ. If you mention this trait to this person, he or she is likely to become very quiet. Encourage an openness, but limit the time you are together. That solution might work for a few of you. Tonight: Share what is going on with you.

‘Alexander City’s own Toomer’s Corner,’ the tree in the Benjamin Russell High School student parking lot was decorated with rolls of toilet paper following Friday night’s football victory over Beauregard.

BRHS Principal Dr. Anthony Wilkinson said students usually toilet paper the tree on Friday night before the Student Government Association comes by on Sunday to clean up the tree.

However, Wilkinson said the tree was not ‘decorated’ until Sunday night, and the toilet paper remained in the tree as of Tuesday afternoon.

DEFENSE DOMINATES

Many unanswered questions for Tigers entering season

Q

uestions, questions, questions.

I’m full of them about Auburn’s football team. Sure, the Tigers enter the season ranked No. 9, have a legit defensive front seven and arguably the program’s best passer since Pat Sullivan, but you can’t ignore those giant question marks that litter the lineup.

Kicking off the season would be much simpler if Auburn met the likes of Austin Peay or The Citadel. That’s not the case. Auburn and all of its question marks have the luxury of facing No. 6 Washington in Atlanta’s fancy-pants Mercedes Stadium — a 2017 House of Horrors for the orange and blue.

What are my questions? Let’s proceed: Running back: Pretty obvious, huh?

Any time your team’s best running back (Kerryon Johnson) bolts for the NFL, it’s impossible to wonder who will replace him. The popular verdict so far is a mix of Kam Martin and JaTarvious Whitlow, a redshirt freshman who has never played a college snap. Will a running back by committee approach work? We might find out real soon. For what it’s worth, Auburn has produced a 1,000-yard rusher for nine consecutive seasons.

Offensive line: A new fleet of running backs and a quarterback who endured protection issues in 2017 will be escorted by an inexperienced offensive line. This is very scary, particularly considering Washington boasts one of the better defenses west of the Rocky Mountains.

Receivers: Eli Stove is hurt. So is Will Hastings. Granted, neither were Jarrett Stidham’s go-to guys last year, but both were contributors. If they can’t return to full form, this offense will need a pair of newcomers to fill the void. It’s also time for Nate CraigMyers to live up to expectations and become a factor in the game plan.

Offensive identity: Auburn can’t afford to wait until October to find itself offensively. The Tigers stumbled last year at Clemson and took the month of September off in 2016. They must be firing on all cylinders in order to beat the Huskies.

Secondary vs. Jake Browning: Stidham’s worthy of being the Heisman preseason conversation, but Washington has a gunslinger of its own in Browning. He’s a four-year starter with plenty of big-game experience already. Auburn must replace defensive backs Stephen Roberts, Carlton Davis and Tray Matthews, too.

Kicker: Daniel Carlson was arguably the best college kicker in history. Anytime you must replace a kicker, you can’t help but wonder if the next man up will be adequate. Enter Anders Carlson, Daniel’s younger brother.

History: It’s not on Auburn’s side.

The last time Auburn won a seasonopener against a ranked opponent was 1957. Auburn has lost 11 of its last 12 games against Top 20 teams away from Jordan-Hare Stadium. The Tigers are due, anyway.

Network difficulty: This is purely circumstantial, but Auburn has lost eight of its past 10 games on ABC television. ABC will broadcast Saturday’s game.

The Picks

Washington vs. Auburn: Will white uniforms bring the Tigers better luck in the Mercedes Stadium? Time will tell. I can see Auburn running all over the Huskies. I can see Jarrett Stidham passing all over the Huskies. I can see Auburn’s defense smothering the Huskies. Then I remember it’s not November 2017 anymore.

Washington 24, Auburn 20.

Alabama vs. Louisville: I’ve told more than one person in confidence that Louisville, without Lamar Jackson, will beat Alabama. The Cardinals will be sneaky good with new quarterback Jawon Pass. Then reality hits me upside the head.

Alabama 31, Louisville 15.

Reeltown’s Trey O’Neal hauls in a pass for the first touchdown of the night for the Rebels against Dadeville’s Kyreke Vines.

Reeltown shuts down Dadeville, 34-6

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

When trying to beat a rival, there’s a couple things that are always a big focus.

It’s important to punch them in the mouth early; it’s key to take advantage of every offensive opportunity. And it doesn’t hurt to hold them to fewer than 100 yards of total offense.

Reeltown checked all those boxes Thursday night, defeating Dadeville, 34-6. It was the Rebels’ first win against their cross-county rival since 2014.

“It feels good,” Reeltown senior Lio Lewis said. “I promised my team that I wasn’t going to go out my senior year

losing to Dadeville. I told them they could put everything on me because I got them.”

The most impressive part about Reeltown’s defensive onslaught was the fact it installed almost an entirely new scheme based on personnel issues.

Starting linebacker Tre Tre Hughley, who also contributes offensively, did not play due to an injury. Despite having moving parts on the defensive side of the ball, Reeltown held the Tigers to just 73 total yards and 45 of those came on the final drive.

“We had to come up with an entire defensive scheme, and not really based off what Dadeville was doing but based

off our personnel,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said. “With Tre Tre being out, that really changed our identity on defense. We had an extremely short week to install a totally different defense. I’m extremely proud of the guys on both sides of the ball, but especially defense because we threw a lot at them this week.”

Reeltown also dominated offensively.

Keke Hughley led the Rebels with 137 yards on just 10 carries and added two touchdowns; Cameron Faison scored once and added 81 rushing yards.

Game of the Week

BRHS faces off against Horn’s Volunteers

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Ever since the changing of the guard for Benjamin Russell’s football team, tonight’s game has been circled on people’s calendars around Alexander City.

Hall of Fame coach Danny Horn returned to Clay Central — he earned most of his career wins as the head coach at Clay County — and his first official game as the Volunteers’ coach is against his former team.

While the communities may have Horn on their mind, Benjamin Russell’s team does not.

“We’re looking at it like

BENJAMIN RUSSELL VS. CLAY CENTRAL Game date: Benjamin Russell Wildcats at Clay Central Volunteers ... Non-region ... Tonight, 7 p.m.

Media coverage: Check out our pregame show, Inside the Lines Live, on the Outlook Faceboook page beginning at 6 p.m. Follow @liziarbogast on Twitter for live updates.

Teams: BRHS is 1-0 after a defeat of Beauregard in Week 0, and this will be Clay Central’s first game of the season.

Series: The Wildcats lead the series, 3-1, including a 28-14 victory last year.

Outlook prediction: Benjamin Russell 24, Clay Central 21 this is the next opponent; that’s all it is,” new BRHS coach Kevin Smith said. “If we get into emotions, people start going up and down. I tell them all the time, ‘Don’t

let your highs get too high or your lows get too low.’

“It is a big game just because of the relationships there, but it’s not a region game. It’s just the next game.

That’s how we’ve defined it all week.”

HBS looks to right the ship vs. Donoho

Central Coosa’s Donta Daniel looks downfield last week against Winterboro.

Coosa hosts Holtville in home opener

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

The Holtville football team has seen a long string of losses in its season openers.

The Bulldogs have not won the first game in a season since 2009 but hope to break the streak when they travel to Central Coosa on Friday night. Holtville is expecting to win but they are staying focused on the game.

“You can’t overlook anybody,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “You can’t win a game before you play it. If you don’t go out with great intensity and great focus, anything can happen. You can’t overlook anybody because you haven’t won an opening game since 2009.”

This week will officially mark the start of the season for Holtville but the team played in a jamboree during Week 0. The Bulldogs defeated Verbena 34-0 in a game which they got to play a lot of players off the bench.

“Anytime you are able to play everyone on your roster at this time in the year is really beneficial,” Franklin said. “In return, it builds us some depth for the future and down the road because you never know what’s going to happen.”

Quarterback Drake Baker needed to attempt only six passes on the night, completing four of them for 175 yards and two scores. He connected with seniors Jaderick Carter and Dajon Reeves for touchdowns of 65 and 59 yards, respectively.

Holtville’s rushing game was the focus of the night though, finishing with 161 yards and three touchdowns. Four different players finished with at least 25 yards with junior JJ Jackson leading the way with 45 yards on six carries.

“Overall, I was tremendously pleased with how our offensive line played last week,” Franklin said. “We didn’t have to throw the ball that much so we got to work on our run game.”

Central Coosa played in an official game last week, losing at Winterboro 36-0. The Cougars have only 17 players listed on the roster and have not won a game since 2016. Franklin is still focused on keeping his players focused despite playing a much smaller opponent.

“Sometimes the film will lie to you,” Franklin said. “They turned it over a good bit the other night but this week could be the week they don’t have any turnovers or don’t have any penalties. You can’t focus on those things because you have to think you’ll get their best shot regardless of what happened the other night.”

The Cougars will bring in a team that has players switching positions all over the field.

The quarterback position sees two styles throughout the game with senior JaMichael Chambliss and junior Donta Daniel.

“They move a lot of people around,” Franklin said. “We’re preparing for two different type of quarterbacks and some odd formations.”

The game is scheduled to kick off at 7 p.m. at Keith Bullard Stadium in Rockford on Friday night.

A lot of things went wrong in the opening week for Horseshoe Bend, but the Generals aren’t hanging up their helmets just yet. They head to Donoho tonight, and they’ve never lost to the Falcons.

After facing off against Dadeville in Week 0, the Generals are hoping a team like Donoho might be more on their level.

“They shouldn’t have the speed or size of Dadeville,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett said. “But still, come Friday night, it’s going to be another of those close ones if we let them.”

Donoho was beaten, 52-14, by Biggersville (Mississippi) last week, and the Falcons have struggled of late. They haven’t had a winning record since they went undefeated in the regular season in 2014.

They’ve won only seven games in the last three years.

That being said, Horseshoe Bend has to clean up some things from last week if it wants to keep its winning streak against Donoho alive.

“We saw a whole lot of room for improvement last week,” Generals assistant coach David Caldwell said. “We knew we didn’t play as well as we wanted.

We got beat at the line of scrimmage, and that was the main thing. They saw they weren’t playing at the level that they needed to be.”

Averett said, “We aligned wrong a few times against Dadeville and that cost us. Donoho gets in a lot of different formations, so that’s one of the things we’ve been working on this week, making sure we can get lined up.”

Averett said Donoho’s

Horseshoe Bend’s Dakota Hill runs up the middle against Dadeville last week. The Generals are hoping to rely on Hill to get something going on the ground this week.

best players offensively are quarterback Barry Billings and running back Rodricus Elston, and defensively, the Falcons work well as a unit.

“They’re aggressive defensively,” Averett said.

“They’ve got a lot of guys going both ways, kind of like we do, so conditioning might be an issue. But they’re tough. It’s not going to be an easy win. We’re going to have to go out and perform.”

Horseshoe Bend will be focused on getting something going on the ground and looking to Jumall Buchanan and

Dakota Hill to lead the rushing attack. Nywanski Russell will also hope to make improvements, as he saw bursts of athleticism last week but is still new to the quarterback position.

“He’s definitely athletic enough to play the position,” Averett said.

“He’s going to make a lot of big plays and make stuff happen for us, but now he’s just gotta get better at the little things first, picking up on reads and managing the game. That’s all stuff he hasn’t had to do before.”

Despite coming off a loss, Horseshoe Bend is

still confident moving forward and is hoping a win this week could propel it into region play on a high.

“Everybody is disappointed, especially it being a close county game last week,” Averett said. “Everybody wanted to win it, and I thought we would’ve played better.

Everyone was disappointed in the outcome. If nothing else, it should’ve been at least closer than it was. As far as practice wise, though, they’re ready to go and looking forward to the next chance (tonight).”

the sidelines for nearly a decade. There are no secrets.

“We know what they’re going to do and they know what we’re going to do,” Smith said. “We’re going to base everything off of our techniques and not try to figure out what the other guy is going to do.”

Clay Central graduated two of its go-to guys in Cameron Peoples and Ben Street, but after scouting the Volunteers during their scrimmage last week, Smith said they have just reloaded. Junior Javon Wood has taken over at quarterback, and Smith said Shamari Simmons will be one to watch both offensively and defensively.

As for the defense, the Volunteers will look almost identical to their counterparts.

“Defensively, they’ll look like us,” Smith said. “It’ll be really similar. We did nothing different (defensively from last year). I told coach (Steve) Burkhalter to keep doing what he was doing.”

And while Benjamin Russell got away with some things last week due to Beauregard’s struggle with cramping, it’s bound to be a more physical game tonight. Horn has always worked his teams hard and made sure the players were conditioned extremely well, and Smith picked up right where Horn left off with the Wildcats.

Especially when watching film, Smith could tell the Wildcats would be in for a dogfight this week.

“The word physical is the one that pops out,” Smith said. “It’s what we tell our kids about this opponent is that they are going to be physical. We’re going to go out there and get ready to fight.

We know the Bone is going to show up tonight sometime. They’re going to try to drive it down the field, and we’ve gotta be ready to withstand that and turn around and do something about it afterwards.”

Once again leading Benjamin Russell’s charge offensively will be quarterback Landon Cotney, who Smith said “had ice in his veins” last week.

“He just went out and executed,” Smith said. “That’s what we need in the quarterback position, we need someone who is ruthless in their execution.”

Smith was also impressed last week with the play of Za Stowes, who did work on both sides of the ball, and defensive end Marquel Jackson.

“Marquel has that motor,” Smith said.

“He’s a very strong individual, and when he gets his motor running, he’s tough to stop. We’re going to need him tonight.”
