County advocates emergency weather planning

Senate bill could legalize hunting deer over bait

By MITCH SNEED Editor

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran wants to make sure everyone has an emergency plan in place – especially with this week being Severe Weather Awareness Week.

“The big thing is to have a way to get information about severe weather,” Moran said. “It could be by way of a weather radio or an app on a phone that lets you know about weather watches and warnings in your area.”

But Moran wants area residents to have more than just a way to get information about weather.

“You need to have a plan for what to do with the warnings,” Moran said. “It is also important to have a kit to tide you over for a few days.”

Two Alabama State Senators who represent a large chunk of the area have introduced a bill that would legalize hunting deer and wild hogs over bait.

Sen. Tom Whatley (RAuburn) and Sen. Gerald Dial (R-Lineville) are sponsors of Senate Bill 189 that would amend hunting laws in a manner that would allow the now illegal practice of placing food like shucked and shelled corn in area where it would attract deer and hogs close to waiting hunters.

The bill reads in part: “Under existing law, by regulation of the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, as it relates to hunting deer on private lands, there is a rebuttable presumption that any bait or feed located beyond 100 yards from the hunter and not within the line of sight of the hunter is not a lure, attraction or enticement to, on, or over the areas where the hunter is attempting to kill or take the deer.

India came to life for history students at Dadeville High School Thursday.

Dr. Abhi Sethia, who operates a school in his village in India, spoke to eighth grade history students about life, diversity and history in India.

India has a population of 1.3 billion people,” Sethia told the students. “India is just larger than the state of Texas… It is very diverse in food, clothing, religion and it has 24 official languages.”

Sethia spoke with the students about how India has Bollywood, similar to Hollywood and the importance of monsoons.

“Monsoons are huge,” Sethia said. “They

Sethia explained to the students that he is lucky to be where he is in life today as he was not a member of the upper casts.

“I grew up an outcast in a village,” Sethia said. “My parents are illiterate and my older siblings never went to school. I only learned English when I went to Delhi and it was my fifth language. I grew up in Eastern India without running water, no electricity and a village school.”

Sethia can speak 13 languages.

“The county and city schools are involved,” Moran said. “They are helping push things out each day about Severe Weather Awareness week through their websites and Facebook pages.”

At a recent Tallapoosa County Commission meeting, Moran share brochures with tips for severe weather plans and kits.

The tips for plan include: having two ways to get weather information, knowing where your safe place is, how to get in touch with family if cell phones, internet and landlines fail, to have a designated meeting place to meet after a disaster, check on others

before and after an event, neighbors helping neighbors and get to a sturdy structure as mobile homes are not safe.

Items that might be included in a three day emergency kit include: a gallon of water per person per day, non-perishable food, weather radio with extra batteries, flashlight with extra batteries, a first aid kit, tools to turn off utilities, dust mask, plastic sheeting, duct tape to shelter in place, can opener, prescription medications, glasses, infant formula, diapers, important documents, sleeping bag, games, puzzles, items for pets and cash.

Superintendent was happy to showcase the training center again and the combine effort it took to pull it off.

“We are honored that they recognized us at a state level the work that we have been doing here at the Edward Bell Career Tech Center,” Windle said. “There is no debt in the facility. It was all done by donations, $600,000 in grants and $165,000 in Tallapoosa County money. Every one of you has made a contribution to this.”

The center has drawn the attention of others from across the state.

“You have created a workforce training center that is better than any in urban and more affluent areas,” Cleveland said. “The students are engaged in learning a skill that will allow them to go to work. Not only have they performed in the classroom, but they are challenging other students.”

Windle gave everyone a quick history lesson on the center and what they would see and hear when they spoke with students at the center.

“Four years ago, we started with a vision, a building and no money,” Windle explained. “We cleaned up the building and made a video of the vision and carried it around the state. Dr. Cleveland and others bought into it. You are going to see some great kids. They have blossomed and have developed some great skills.”

The tour showcased health science where student can become a certified nursing assistant, the law enforcement program, the Microsoft Academy, the industrial maintenance program and the welding program.

“We have students that are doing clinicals at Dadeville Healthcare,” Health Science Instructor Angela Cox said. “They need those clinicals to pass the exams.”

“Last year we had zero credentials in the Microsoft Academy,” EBCTC Director Freddy Ford said. “So far this year we have 41 this year.”

Cleveland and Ford offered up what might be coming to the center in the near future.

“I think fire science is not too far off,” Cleveland said. “We already offer it at 21 other centers. In just

Severe Weather Preparedness Week perfect time to make a plan

M

onday marked the start of the Alabama Severe Weather Preparedness Week, and the National Weather Service encourages residents to take severe weather seriously.

Tallapoosa County EMA Director Jason Moran is spearheading the efforts this week to remind residents to plan ahead for the potential of severe weather.

Moran is talking with the media, civic groups and school classes with the simple message: Have a plan.

Families should also consider babies, pets and people with medical problems when preparing the emergency kit, and make sure to have food and medication for these groups. Moran said that some rural areas have been out of power for up to four days during previous weather emergencies, such as hurricanes, which underscores the need to be prepared.

Moran also stressed the importance of creating an evacuation plan for different emergencies and making each family member learn it. Mobile home owners should find a safe place during a tornado.

Children should be schooled until they know what to do in virtually every kind of emergency situation.

Just because a weather emergency is over doesn’t mean a home is safe for reentry, according to Moran. If the home is still flooded or smells of gas, it probably isn’t safe.

Moran suggested citizens use weather applications on smart phones or iPads, tune in to local TV stations during severe weather, use a weather radio or remain up to date on weather conditions through the internet.

While the EMA is making an all-out effort to remind folks, their work will do no good unless you take action.

Take advantage of the classes, buy the equipment and implement the safety measures.

Every individual needs to take an active interest in their family, business and community’s preparedness for severe weather. By taking just a little bit of time to go that extra step, lives could be saved and tragedy averted in our county one day.

Editorial New experiences help us hit life’s bulleyes Our Mission

T

he other day, I was at my friend’s house out in the country when she pulled out her bow and arrow.

She had an archery target leaning against the barn.

After she shot a couple of arrows, I got my chance.

I’d never shot a bow and arrow. The closest I’ve ever come is watching Oliver Queen on the TV show Arrow. I reckon I learned from Bo and Luke Duke, too, but they had dynamite strapped to the end of theirs.

She coached me up real good, but I feared I wouldn’t be able to hit the broad side of the barn. Literally. After a couple of false starts, I gripped it, pulled back and fired away. I did hit the broad side of the barn. Literally. Barely.

I try not to eat at very many chain restaurants during my travels, but Cracker Barrel is always a good bet. The people are friendly, the food is comforting and the peg game is a great, yet addicting, way to kill time while awaiting the country fried steak, mashed potatoes and hash brown casserole. I love my veggies, but Cracker Barrel is all about the starch — and the peg game.

One peg makes all the difference in the world.

I’ve played it for as long as I can remember, and

JODY FULLER Guest Columnist

I may have left two a handful of times, which, according to the official rules, means I’m “purty smart.” I’m not bragging, because I usually leave three, which according to the official rules, means I’m “purty dumb.”

There was, however, this one time in Cullman, when the stars aligned, and I left a single peg.

According to the official rules, I was “genius.”

The angels were singing. Perhaps it was the Cracker Barrel Quartet; I’m not sure. Either way, it was a magical moment in my life. I vowed to never play the game again. Why would I want to mess up perfection?

She coached me up some more. This time, I knew exactly how to aim. I vowed to hit the target. The broad side of the barn was no longer an option. I got in a proper stance, gripped it, bent my elbow just a bit and then let it go. Bullseye!

It was a thing of beauty.

Perfection. I was ready for some dynamite.

For some reason, it took a little longer for my food to arrive. The peg game kept staring

at me. I didn’t want to play, but I had to do something. I figured if I could leave one peg once, then I could certainly do it again. So, after being on top of the Cracker Barrel peg game world for seven minutes, I gave in and started a new game. Minutes later, I felt “purty dumb.”

I never made that vow with respect to the bow and arrow. I was ready to keep on pulling and so I did. Once again, I got in my proper stance, gripped it, bent my elbow just a bit and then let it go. Bullseye? Not so fast, my friend. This time, it was all barn, and that was just fine with me. I went from the top of the archery world to barely hitting the broad side of the barn.

It didn’t matter. I was learning. I was trying new things. That’s what life is all about. Never settle. Never give up.

Find a great coach and load that arrow. You won’t hit bullseye every time, and that’s okay.

That’s life. Keep on trying.

Volunteers helped gathed bags of trash and unwanted items from area roadways Saturday.

Cleaning up filled residents with pride

By RAPHORD FARRINGTON Guest Columnist

We had a great breakfast of all you can eat pancakes at the Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast last Saturday and then reported to City Hall at 8 a.m. for the litter pick up. The Mayor let us choose the areas that we wanted to work. My group of volunteers included my wife Diane, Sharon Gaither, Phil Keown and Rick Metzger and we chose to work East South Street starting at Barrett Street. I am now a firm believer that if we could catch people who litter and have a judge that would sentence them to pick up just two bags of litter a week for a year they would never litter again.

For the illegal dumpers and repeat offenders have them clean up what they dumped and pick up litter two hours a week or a minimum of four bags of litter per week for a year. If the judge doesn’t like the

sentence let him try picking up litter.

After just two hours we worked our way to within 100 feet of New Covenant Church and had a large pickup load of bags filled with litter. They included everything from batteries to half-gallon whisky bottles, ice chests, car tires, plastic bags (lots of bags), beer cans, bottles of all kinds, prescription bottles, debris that had blown off construction vehicles and I have never seen that many cigarette butts in my life.

I wish I had counted the miniature whiskey bottles I picked up.

Listen you low-lifes who are throwing this stuff out of your vehicle they still put ashtrays in cars, when they are full empty it into a trashcan. Please use these plastic bags you throw out to place your litter in and then take it to your garbage can. Thank you.

Oh I am sorry. I am so upset with litterbugs I was about to forget to thank

all those folks who came out to help us. Young and old they showed up. The word I got was it was overwhelming especially for the ladies who chose Bobo Street.

We are better than this.

As my dad used to say were you raised in a barn?

We were not raised to trash our neighborhoods or our neighbors. While we didn’t make a dent in the area, as we rode back to town we all had a huge sense of pride in what we did accomplish and it looked noticeably better.

So think about the street in front of your house or your neighborhood. You can do it. Invite a neighbor to join you and it is great exercise especially on some of these streets in Dadeville. I promise you will notice the difference.

Until next week.

Cliff Williams / The Record

Dr. Sethia spoke to high-schoolers about his work running a school in his home country and the powerful influence that taking advantage of education opportunities had on his life.

India

continued from page 1

but by education he has been able to escape the cast system. “Because of my education, I am now seen as a leader,� Sethia said. “I think education can help you overcome anything.�

Sethia thinks education is so important that he has started a school. A school that had 380 students last year and will have nearly 500 through the seventh

grade when it starts back up this spring. “School is doing well,� Sethia said. “I am trying to teach English, though they can not speak it at home because no one else can. It is only through education that they can fit into the outside world. Education is bringing change. Without it, I would still be half naked in my village.�

Bill “This bill would allow the taking of whitetail deer or feral swine by means of bait.�

While illegal, the practice has been widespread and tough for conservation officers to enforce. One local deer processors estimated that 80 percent of the deer he saw this season, showed the animals had ingested some sort of feed prior to being harvested.

Currently any feed more than 100 yards away from the hunter is not considered a lure. If this bill were to become law, feed or bait could be placed closer to the hunter.

The bill would not change restrictions against baiting for other game such as birds.

The bill has had its first reading and remains in the Senate Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry Committee.

In other movement in the legislature, the Senate passed SB102 which will provide a non-drivers identification card for those being released from the Alabama Department of Corrections.

The bill is being

continued from page 1

touted as a means to help inmates integrate back into society upon their release. Having identification will make job applications easier, proponents said.

The identification cards will be issued by the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency and will be provided free of charge to the individual. If this law passes the Alabama House and is then signed by the governor, upon release from prison, all individuals immediately will be provided with an identification card.

Last week, the Alabama House of

Representatives on Tuesday night passed a bill that would crack down on “sanctuary campuses� by restricting millions in state funding.

If the bill passes the Senate and is signed by the governor, the Alabama Attorney General’s Office can withhold any public funding from public colleges and universities that attempt to defy state and federal immigration law or declare themselves sanctuary campuses.

It adds to a 2011 immigration law that allows the withholding of funding from cities,

counties and other municipalities that declare themselves as sanctuary areas.

Also, a bill that would require high school students to pass a citizenship test as part of civics education was approved last week by the Alabama Senate Finance and Taxation Education Committee.

Passing the test would be a requirement for high school graduation.

TAX TIME 2017

Right now is a great time to start preparing for tax season. While the deadline to file returns may be several months away, getting a head-start allows men and women the chance to organize their tax documents so they aren’t racing against a deadline come April.

The following are a handful of ways to start preparing for your returns now.

• Find last year’s return. You will need information from last year’s return in order to file this year, so find last year’s return and print it out if you plan to hire a professional to work on your return.

• Gather dependents’ information.

While you might know your own Social Security number by heart, if you have dependents, you’re going to need their information as well. New parents or adults who started serving as their elderly parents’ primary caretakers over the last year will need their kids’ and their folks’ social security numbers. If you do not have these numbers upon filing, your return will likely be delayed and you might even be denied potentially substantial tax credits.

In addition, if you have gathered all of the information you need by early February, then booking your appointment early means you can file earlier and receive any return you might be eligible for that much quicker.

Tax season might not be right around the corner, but it’s never too early to start preparing your return.

Bentley makes shrewd move with Strange Senate appointment

s I have suggested to you, we are looking at one momentous 2018 election year, and it has begun.

Get this folks, we have an open governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s race. We have openings at lieutenant governor, attorney general, state treasurer, agriculture commissioner, three seats on the state Supreme Court including the Chief Justice position, all 35 state Senate seats, all 105 House seats, one hotly contested congressional seat, as well as 67 sheriffs.

Folks, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the most marquee political year in my long political life. If media outlets do not make money next year, they ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever gonna make any money.

As though the aforementioned cavalcade was not enough of a circus, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got ourselves an open U.S. Senate seat. I believe that Ringling Brothers Circus closed in deference to us in the Heart of Dixie and our roadshow Vaudeville act called Alabama politics.

FOOD & PRODUCE

Our good ole Gov. Robert Bentley has been a great ringleader. He is quite a show.

Poor ole Bentley has relegated himself to not only being irrelevant, but is considered a clown.

I have been around the state on a speaking/book signing tour and everywhere I go they ask about ole Bentley. I have to deflect the questions about his personal advisor following him to Washington or sitting in the gallery for his speech to the Legislature.

In fact, I try to put some levity to the situation by telling folks, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, you know my observation of Alabama politics over the past 50 years is that we really havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t got to have a governor.â&#x20AC;?

Big Jim Folsom stayed drunk his whole second term, George Wallace was on pain pills his last term and did not know where he was, Fob James seemed disinterested and went duck hunting his second term, and they put poor ole Hunt and Siegelman in jail. At least

STEVE FLOWERS Columnist

Bentley shows up and does his duties to the best of his abilities. He just leans on one advisor, exclusively. They say she wrote his last State of the State speech. If she did, she ainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t much of a speechwriter.

Well, ole Bentley got himself a U.S. Senate seat appointment to grant. He milked it for what it was worth.

He ultimately used it as a get out of jail free card. Even if his appointment of Luther Strange looks like chicanery and collusion, it was a shrewd political move by Bentley. It keeps him and his advisor out of the pokey.

The Luther Strange appointment looks brazen and audacious. The facts are clear, Strange as attorney general

of Alabama openly asked the House Judiciary Committee to cease their impeachment proceedings because he and his office were investigating the Governor and his advisor.

Then all of a sudden, the Governor appoints him to a coveted senate seat. If that does not look like collusion, I do not know what does.

If given those facts, the average fisherman in Mobile Bay would say that it looks fishy. A baker in Birmingham would conclude that it does not pass the smell test. As a political historian I will have to record these very facts for posterity. Folks can draw their own conclusion.

Luther Strange will probably go on to be a good U.S. Senator. He is imminently qualified for the role and has planned meticulously for this seat for the last 20 years.

However, the taint of Bentley will follow him to Washington and could come back to bite him in the June 2018 GOP primary, which is tantamount

to election.

Big Luther is betting that as the incumbent senator for the next 15 months, he will be able to raise so much Washington campaign cash that he will be unbeatable. That is probably a good bet. However, Alabamians may have a longer memory than he thinks. Just ask Bill Baxley how getting the governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination from the Democratic hierarchy when Charlie Graddick got the most votes in 1986 turned out.

Folks in Alabama do not like appointments, especially one that comes with a cloud that appears to be collusion.

We have a great 15 months of Alabama politics ahead of us, folks.

See you next week.

News of Historical Markers in Our Area: Three Historical Markers in the Dadeville area have been temporarily removed to be refurbished by the Alabama Department of Archives and History.

The Department of Archives and History is refurbishing markers throughout the state in preparation for the celebration of Alabama Bicentennial. Tallapoosa County was allocated three markers to be reconditioned. Archives and History will provide these services made possible by a grant from the Tourism Department.

Our own Bill Ponder has been responsible for the selection, removal and transportation of these markers. Thank you Bill for keeping us on the map and in good condition!

First Presbyterian Church News: I was delighted to attend services at the Presbyterian last Sunday morn! Rev. Ben’s sermon was “…to forgive is divine.” Scriptures were from Leviticus 19; Psalm 119; 1 Corinthians 3; and Matthew 5.

Rev. Ben said a prayer which was

beautiful: “prayers for the poor and the alien; protect strangers in their sojourns; pray for our enemies, bless those who hate us; make us instruments of your love.

Amen.”

At his own crucifixion, Jesus said “Father forgive them; they know not what they are doing.”

To err is human, to forgive is divine. We should do as God does: “show mercy and forgive sinners.”

Jesus says “also go the extra mile. Demonstrate our love even to your captor!”

Ben told a story about Ms. Edgar (one of his grade school teachers) who taught him to pronounce correctly the word “ERR.” We had a full choir Sunday morn, and they sounded great! “I’m Standing on the Rock of Ages” was lovely, led

by Dale Brasell and wife Dawn on our piano. A most talented pair!

Come visit us at the Presbyterian Church and Rev. Ben Arellano will make you feel welcome.

First United Methodist Church News: On Thursday, March 9, we have Loaves & Fishes Ministry.

Come visit us at the First United Methodist Church and Rev. William Brown will make you feel most welcome.

Red Ridge Methodist Church News: Worship service begins at 9:30 a.m. Rev. Messer’s sermon is titled “Holy Moments” 2 Peter 1:16-21. This section is a strong statement

on the inspiration of scripture. Peter affirms that the Old Testament prophets wrote God’s messages. Scripture did not come from the creative work of the prophets’ own invention or interpretation. God inspired the writers, so their message is authentic and reliable. The choir’s anthem is “Heaven Came Down.” Serious rehearsal for the Easter Cantata begins March 5th. Activities for the week are Friday at 5:30 p.m. Mardi Gras at Red Ridge, create the most beautiful mask and win the big prize, Angel Dolls Tuesday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m., work continues replenishing dolls given away for Christmas and March 2 trip to New Orleans sponsored by the Singles.

RR is located at 8091 County Road 34, Dadeville, 256-825-9820, redridgeumc.org. Paul Messer is pastor.

Help make spring sports coverage great

I

t’s so hard to believe that for the most part, we’ve said farewell to winter sports.

After the Benjamin Russell varsity boys lost their regional bid this week, Central Coosa, both varsity boys and girls, is the only school still representing the area in Montgomery this weekend. Hats off to the Cougars for how far they’ve come..

In wrestling, an entire team of Benjamin Russell grapplers and a lone Dadeville Tiger are in Huntsville this weekend. There, they are all capping off their season by vying for the AHSAA State Championship. We wish them all the best of luck.

After this weekend, both sports will likely be over. But even before they’re completely finished, spring sports are already bursting forth. I liken it to the buds in the ground at the first sign of warm weather.

The Benjamin Russell varsity boys and girls varsity soccer teams are already starting their season this very weekend at the Southern Shootout in Daphne. It’s a good testing ground for the rest of the season for both teams for sure.

But that’s not all. Baseball season also steps up to the plate Monday all across the readership area. Softball season isn’t far behind, with most schools starting games on Thursday.

Let’s not forget that tennis season is already upon us, with the Wildcats tennis teams serving up the season earlier this week.

If that makes your head spin, think of how I feel. This is an exciting time and I, the lone sports editor, am looking forward to providing you with as much coverage of the numerous spring sports events as possible. However, I won’t have as much help from my colleagues to do so as I did during football season back in the fall.

That’s where I need your help.

You’ll notice in the Sports Calendar that each school has multiple events each week. Because I can’t be at each one, I’d like you, dear readers, to make sure your coach provides me with his or her team’s results as soon as possible after the event. With their help, I can make sure your school’s spring sports programs get the coverage they deserve, even if I can’t be there myself.

Remember, I’m counting on you and your coaches to make sure the kids get the attention they deserve.

Dadeville senior Landon Wilson tags Benjamin Russell senior Cameron Caldwell out in the finale game of the two teams’ round-robin series with Valley at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex Monday.

Dadeville swept by BRHS, Valley

By Cathy Higgins Sports Editor

Monday’s opening of baseball season marked a day of adulation for the Wildcats and disappointment for the Tigers.

In a round-robin series that included Valley at Charles E. Bailey Sportplex, Benjamin Russell swept the day while Dadeville came away without a win.

Host-team Benjamin Russell opened the President’s Day series with a 6-1 win over Valley. Valley then sought redemption with a 13-4 win over Dadeville.

That led up to the finale that pitted the Wildcats and Tigers in a friendly rivalry game, which ended with Benjamin Russell defeating Dadeville 14-4.

BRHS head coach Richy Brooks was glad for the

Wildcats’ pair of wins. But his team’s development was a bigger concern.

“I told my kids before we ever came out here, whether we win or lose is not important — although we want to win of course,” he said. “But how we play right now is more important than whether we’re winning or losing.”

The coach found himself pleased with how his Wildcats played Monday.

“I thought for the most part we played well,” Richy said.

The coach was especially pleased with the performance of sophomore pitcher Nicholas McGhee, who took to the mound in the third inning and struck out Dadeville senior Landon Wilson in the fourth.

Brooks was equally pleased with what came out of the Wildcats’ batter’s box.

“He did a really good job

of throwing strikes,” he said.

“We had some timely hits that went to the backboard,” Brooks said.

Senior Tanner Barnett and junior Bradley Stewart scored a run each for the Wildcats.

“They swung good all day,” Brooks said.

Despite disappointment in the day’s outcome for the Tigers, Dadeville head coach Kyle Caldwell took it all in stride.

“It’s baseball,” he said.

But he did pinpoint the Tigers’ weakness on the field.

“Mostly just defensive,” Caldwell said. “I thought we hit the ball well, especially for our first two games. We were still hitting the ball hard and making good contact. That’s all you can ask for.

“But in pitching, we walked too many batters,” he added.

“So we’ve got to work on

our control and letting our defense play.”

While at the pitchers’s mound, Dadeville junior Andrew Meadows had two strikeouts and walks each, senior Kyle Atkins had three strikouts and a walk and sophomore Jake Outlaw allowed one walk.

The round-robin finale belonged to Benjamin Russell from the start as the Wildcats led the Tigers 3-2, 4-2, 7-3, 11-3 and 13-4 in the first five respective innings before capping the game with a final run in the sixth by Stewart for the 14-4 win.

Benjamin Russell’s first away game is Thursday at 4 p.m. when the Wildcats head to Elmore County.

Dadeville, Benjamin Russell grapplers lose championship bids Illness cuts state tournament short for Dadeville’s Kenneth ‘Ab’ Abernathy

By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

Cathy Higgins / The Outlook

Dadeville junior gets the upper hand over his opponent in a home match against Beauregard earlier in the season.

Dadeville junior Kenneth “Ab” Abernathy got swept early in this past weekend’s Alabama High School Athletic Association’s State Class 4A Wrestling Championship, held at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville.

Abernathy came into the competition as sixth seed in the South’s 220-pound division. But he got shut out in both the preliminary and consolation rounds.

“He lost both matches,” said Dadeville varsity wrestling head coach George Richardson.

Abernathy’s loss in the preliminary round came with a pin in the second period from Caleb Anderson of Scottsboro, who was seeded third in the North region.

His consolation-round loss came with a first-period pin from Trinity Mitchell of Mae Jemison of Huntsville, who was seeded eighth in the North region.

Richardson attributes Abernathy’s losses to sickness.

“When we went up there he was dealing with an upper respiratory infection,” the coach said. “Both of the guys he wrestled against were evenly matched with him. But if he had all his energy, he would have done better.”

Even though Abernathy struggled in the double-elimination event, Richardson congratulates the junior’s efforts.

“He showed a lot of guts just by showing up,” the coach said. “His safety and health is the most important

thing though.”

With this weekend’s losses, Abernathy finishes the season with an individual record of 24-7 Abernathy was one of only five athletes who remained with the Dadeville wrestling team after nine of the original members dropped out during the season.

But Abernathy won’t have very long to rest as he prepares for his senior year and final season as a Dadeville grappler.

“He’s going to get a lot of work this summer,” the coach said “and hopefully we can build the program back up to where it needs to be.”

BRHS fails to make it to final rounds

Despite taking 12 wres-

tlers to Huntsville, Benjamin Russell also failed to push into the championship round in this weekend’s ASHAA Class 6A tournament in the Rocket City.

However, sophomore Ryan Spradley placed fifth in the 132-pound class consolation finals. He did so after defeating Athens sophomore Deacon Cowart 4-2 in the first round.

In the second round, Spradley bested Wetumpka sophomore Caleb Jones 9-8.

In the championship semifinal, Spradley lost 8-2 to Spanish Fort junior Justin Ingram.

Spradley’s consolation semifinal loss came by a pin from Cowart.

Spradley won the fifthplace match against Clay Chalkville sophomore Jacob Williams 6-2.
