Attorney files motions in McDaniel murder case

Tuggle, Whatley say pay for teachers could be addressed

By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer

By MITCH SNEED Editor

The attorney representing the former reality show cast member facing murder charges in connection with the Jan. 17 shooting death of Norman Dean Crayton has filed a request for a preliminary hearing.

Opelika-based attorney Davis Whittelsey has filed a notice of appearance as counsel for Matthew Clate McDaniel, 33, of Dadeville. Whittelsey also filed a motion requesting a preliminary hearing as well as a request for discovery, seeking access to all evidence the state has gathered in the case.

“We have made a demand for a preliminary hearing,” Whittelsey said. “Additionally, we have filed for, but have not yet received, any evidence that the state has in the case. Other than that, we can’t offer much more comment at this time. We will let the legal process move forward and will have a statement at the appropriate time.”

The only date set, according to court records, is a first call on Feb. 16 at 9 a.m. at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville.

District Attorney E. Paul Jones said that is for an initial appearance, not a preliminary hearing.

“Since a preliminary hearing has been called for, one could be set at that first call or a judge could set a date based on the motion,” Jones said. “But as of now, that Feb. 16 is the only setting in the case.”

The 2016 session of the Alabama Legislature could bode well for teachers, if Tallapoosa County’s two legislators are to be believed.

Sen. Tom Whatley, who represents state Senate District 27, and Mark Tuggle, who represents state House District 81 (both districts include Alexander City) said they expect state lawmakers will try hard to find the funds to increase teacher salaries Tuggle and benefits in the upcoming session, which gavels in on Feb. 2.

“I think we’ll see some additional discretionary spending for 2017,” said Tuggle. “And I think you’re going to see us try to steer that money toward salaries and benefits for teachers and to Whatley lower the divisors (in effect, making classes smaller) in the middle school grade levels.”

“I think we’ll see an increase in education budget revenue,” Whatley said. “With that, we’ll look at some different things for K-12 teachers in the classroom. But we need to properly fund the research institutions, too.

Companies locate in Tallapoosa and Macon counties because of the research they can benefit from at Auburn University.”

Tuggle said he expected discretionary money to go toward Public Education Employees’ Health Insurance Plan, or PEEHIP, Retirement Systems of Alabama and to increase teacher salaries.

“I don’t have any numbers, no specifics, no guarantees,” Tuggle said. “But I think that’s what you’ll see happen.”

Tuggle said the state’s schools could also see an influx of technology improvements with the opening up of an additional $1 billion

in federal E-Rate funds.

“I think you’ll see a lot more movement toward 1-to-1 technology like exists at Benjamin Russell right now,” Tuggle said. “You may even see us look at 1-to1 statewide. Title I will still continue to get priority, but we want to be prepared on the state level.”

Tuggle said that E-Rate funding requires a 15 percent match at the local level.

As far as legislation limited to the local area, Tuggle said he and Whatley will work together to get the funding for phase II of the work on Central Boulevard, formerly Russell Road. The project would give straight-line access through the old Russell Corp. campus.

“We’re trying to get phase II of that project completed,” Tuggle said. “It’s an industrial access road.

Phase I was $1.5 million and Phase II is going to cost about $500,000, but the state won’t provide 100 percent of that.”

Neither Tuggle nor Whatley have been approached yet with regard to the county commission’s passage of resolution on Sunday liquor sales. For that resolution to be acted on, it would have to be introduced in the Legislature by either Tuggle or Whatley.

Whatley said he is likely to get behind a movement that would allow municipalities to put together partnerships that could provide high-speed Internet to customers in places where cable companies and telephone

companies currently providing Internet service are not doing so.

“If the cable companies and phone companies don’t want to provide it, then these municipalities that are left our because of their lack of speed should be able to do the same thing that they were allowed to do with water and sewer co-operatives 30 years ago,” Whatley said. “Soon, anyone that doesn’t have the really highspeed access to information through the Internet is going to be at a real disadvantage.”

Whatley also said the Legislature needs to prioritize its funding in the coming session and mentioned three items which he would include near the top of any priority list: the court system, mental health and the military.

“Our court system is woefully funded,” Whatley said. “Jury trials take 2-3 years before their held. We have to make sure that we can do things in our courts in a timely manner to avoid a continual backlog.”

Whatley said the military, even at the state level, needs to see its funds increased in light of terror strikes taking place in this country and across the globe.

“Plus, I’m going to work to save (Alex City’s) armory,” Whatley said. “And if I can’t save our current one, I’ll push for a super-armory so that Alexander City has a military footprint.”

Monroe said. “We do a title search and notify property owners that their property is being condemned.”

Monroe also explained that the process should satisfy the courts should someone file a suit against the city.

Council member Randy Foster was concerned that some of the property may contain asbestos and lead.

“That is taken care of in the bid process for demolition,” Monroe said. “If it is found then the contractor must have it properly removed and disposed of.”

Monroe went on to explain that when finished the properties would be safe.

“The lot should be flat with nothing remaining,” Monroe said. “If there is a septic system, it should be filled in as well.”

The council approved the rezoning of property on East South Street from commercial to residential.

“The old Highway 280 corridor there was originally zoned commercial because it was thought that the hospital when it was being developed would attract other businesses there,” said Jerry McGukin with the planning and zoning board. “Since 280 moved that development did not occur and we recommend the change to residential.”

McGukin also asked the council to approve a temporary variance of property on Highway 49 North.

“The property owner wants to be allowed to rent his property to those workers who will be coming in

to work on the pipeline,” McGukin said. “He wants to be able to put travel trailers on the property. There are mobile homes already along that stretch.”

The council approved the temporary variance for 364 days.

The council learned that the cemetery supervisor had resigned to take a position in the sewer department.

City Clerk Mike Gardner informed the council that the position had been posted and had three applicants so far.

The council is waiting for grants to be approved for the county before proceeding with the Courthouse Square project.

The council had no updates on the Department of Human Resources project as it is waiting on the State of Alabama to respond.

The council had no updates on the Lafayette Street A-Trip paving project as it is still waiting on the railroad to respond.

The council also: • approved minutes from the last meeting.

• appointed Frank Forbus to the Gas board.

• appointed Ralph Emerson to the Dadeville Public Library Board.

• approved recreation center rentals.

The next meeting of the Dadeville City Council will be Feb. 9 at 5 p.m.

Black, white and read all over no longer

Here’s to hoping Groundhog Day legislative opening isn’t ominous

A

T

he 2016 Regular Session of the Alabama Legislature convenes on Tuesday, Feb. 2 – Groundhog’s Day. We don’t mention the incidental holiday because of any particular hope for Punxatawney Phil’s findings, but instead out of the hope that our esteemed Legislature does not get caught in a loop like Bill Murray did in the movie by the same name.

Certainly, a repeat of last year, when we saw the Legislature go to not one, but two special sessions, is not what we want to see.

According to our local legislators, Sen. Tom Whatley of Auburn and Rep. Mark Tuggle of Alexander City, the education budget should be fine.

In fact, the state’s classrooms could see a boon in technology and teachers should get some 2017 help with their salaries and benefits, if they’re to be believed. And while both said they don’t foresee the same general fund debacle the state wrestled with last year, neither was willing to make any promises – and both know that Alabama’s long-term funding problem has yet to be solved. Yet we are keeping the faith long-term funding solution for Alabama result from this session’s deliberations.

More to home, we hope and can trust in our legislators to help with local legislation which would result in Phase II funding for the Central Boulevard project and allow a referendum on the Sunday sales of alcohol, which would make the Lake Martin area much more attractive to some prospective businesses, particularly restaurants.

So we’ll be watching come next Tuesday, hoping we don’t get stuck in a Groundhog Day-like loop and see a repeat of last year and, instead, get things right the first time. We realize the need for argument and deliberation in our legislative process. But we elect our representatives in government to be men and women of action.

If there’s one thing Alabama needs from its legislature, it’s action. Wise, deliberative and fruitful action.

s The Outlook enters its 124th year publishing a newspaper here in Alexander City, we will be making a number of changes and improvements throughout the year.

Today I’d like to talk about an improvement that I hope you have noticed in the past several months – color.

Lots of it.

This time last year we bought four King Press units from another newspaper and during the spring and summer we cleaned them up, replaced a number of worn parts, and then integrated it into our existing eight-unit King Press.

Not only did we increase the capacity of our press by 33 percent, we also increased the length of the press by more than a third, adding four printing units to the right side of the folder.

For those who don’t know much about printing, newspapers are printed on a type of paper called “newsprint.” It comes in huge rolls – one long, long piece of paper.

It’s not that different from a paper towel roll – a 700-pound paper towel roll that we move with a forklift.

I hope you saw our Tallapoosa Publishers Christmas card photo that we printed in all our newspapers last month.

It showed the entire press and our staff. You might have noticed the rolls of paper are on the left side of our press on roll stands. To the right of that we have eight press units. Next in line is a folder where the newsprint is cut into

A

KENNETH BOONE Publisher

newspaper-size lengths and folded twice. To the far right are our four new printing units, which feed newsprint into the same central folder.

Our press is not loaded with new technology. In fact, most of it was built in 1974, the same year President Richard Nixon resigned and Hank Aaron tied Babe Ruth’s all-time MLB home run record at 714.

In the fall we did add a touch of new technology, “fan-out software” that allows us to compensate for the stretching of newsprint as it runs through our longer press, so the color will line up properly.

Newsprint that is pulled off the roll before it is cut into newspaper size pieces is called a “web” and our type of press is called a “web press,” which is a very different process than printing on flat sheets of paper, the type of press used to print magazines.

A little more on web printing. Printing a full color image, like a photograph or a color advertisement, it takes four colors of ink: black, cyan (kind of a light blue), magenta (a purplish red) and yellow. Each web printing unit contains two trays of the same color ink, which allows us to print that color on both sides of the paper. Each web goes through four units to make a color image.

With the addition of the new printing units, I made the decision that we would set up our press as a 12-page printing press, meaning the largest newspaper section we will run at one time is made of three webs of paper and every web will have full color on both sides.

By now you can imagine that this type of printing can get complicated, and that we’re using 40-year-old technology to do it.

Modern presses use computer-controlled motors to make the colors all line up perfectly.

And that’s why I’m writing about all this. We don’t have a computercontrolled press. We have a Lee Championcontrolled press.

Lee, our production manager, head pressman and resident mechanical wizard, along with his pressman Jeb Kitchens, use literally hundreds of hand-controlled knobs to put four colors of ink in exactly the right place in exactly the right amount in every newspaper.

And they do a very, very good job. Tallapoosa Publishers routinely wins printing quality awards from the Alabama Press Association, topping the printing quality made by computer-controlled web presses.

It’s a job that requires a sharp eye and a steady hand. I want our readers to know what a great job Lee and Jeb do at a complicated, difficult task every day.

And that going forward, your hometown newspaper will be slam full of color.

How sweet the sound

mazing Grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now am found. I was blind, but now, I see.

I really do.

I’ve had an awakening in recent weeks. I’ve always been a Christian but have struggled at times with my walk with Him. I’ve been through many trials and tribulations over the past few months, but each ordeal has drawn me closer to Him. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding.

In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 ‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus and to take him at His word. I will simply trust and obey. There’s no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey.

Prayer, God’s love, and the love and support of family and friends have brought me a long way. I grew up in a small country church in Tallapoosa County. My extended family made up most of the congregation. The memories I have singing those old southern gospel hymns are priceless. The memories I have with my mother, brother, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins are precious.

Precious memories how they linger/ How they ever flood my soul In the stillness, of the midnight/ Precious sacred scenes unfold Prayer has been crucial

JODY FULLER Guest Columnist

in helping me overcome adversity throughout my life. I hate to think where I’d be without it. Jesus walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He walks with me and talks with me and tells me I am His own.

Oh how I love Jesus, because he first loved me. He’s our Savior, our father, and our friend.

What a friend we have in Jesus/ All our sins and griefs to bear What a privilege to carry/ Everything to God in prayer Oh what peace we often forfeit/ Oh what needless pain we bear All because we do not carry/ Everything to God in prayer What do I have I to dread, what have I to fear? I have blessed peace with my Lord so near. All I have to do is lean on His everlasting arms. There is wonderful power in the blood, and there’s blessed assurance in prayer.

In seasons of distress and grief/ My soul has often found relief And oft escaped the tempter’s snare/ By Thy return, sweet hour of prayer Love lifted me. The love of my Savior, family, and friends lifted me.

When nothing else could help, love lifted me. Oh how I love Jesus because

he first loved me.

Life gets hard sometimes but is much easier to navigate when you turn your eyes upon Jesus and look full in His wonderful face. That’s when the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace. Love, trust, and obey, for there really is no other way.

Wherever He leads I’ll go, I’ll follow my Christ who loves me so.

He has promised me unconditional love and eternal salvation but that’s not all, and as long as I continue standing on those promises I cannot fall. I won’t be here forever and when this life is over, I’ll fly away. I’ll fly away to a home on God’s celestial shore, and when the roll is called up yonder, mark my words, I’ll be there. We all can get to heaven, and what a day of rejoicing that will be! When we all see Jesus, we’ll sing and shout the victory!

I know there are those who do not believe, but my faith says otherwise. You ask me how I know He lives. Well, He lives within my heart.

Amazing grace, how great thou art.

Water said John Meadows. “The last time we monitored for lead was in 2013 and our water was completely lead-free. We’re due to monitor for it again this year.”

That’s good news for not only Alexander City residents, but also for those in Dadeville, Jackson’s Gap, Walnut Hill, New Site, Goodwater, Ray, Hackneyville and Kellyton – all communities whose drinking water originates from the Adams plant.

“Our customers can rest easy about lead,” Meadows said.

In fact, the Flint crisis is a rare exception to a 30-year-old rule. In 1986, the Safe Drinking Water Act, which was originally adopted in 1974, was amended to require EPA to set standards limiting the concentration of lead in public water systems, and defines lead-free pipes as solders and flux containing not more than 0.2 percent lead; pipes and pipe fittings containing not more than 8.0 percent lead; and plumbing fittings and fixtures.

But even with the latest federal regulations, the change in Flint’s drinking water source from Lake Huron (the water was actually purchased from the City of Detroit) to the Flint River in 2014 resulted in leaching of lead from aging pipes, which was noticed soon after the switch.

Flint residents complained about the taste, smell and appearance of their water for 18 months before a physician found highly elevated blood lead levels in the children of Flint while the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality insisted the water was safe to drink. It was determined that the river water, which, due to higher chloride concentration, is more corrosive than the lake water, was the reason for the leaching lead.

According to the Detroit Free Press, four

Murder McDaniel was arrested in the early morning hours of Jan. 17 after hunters found Crayton’s body in a wooded area off Barron’s Bridge Road south of Dadeville. A release from Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett said the victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

McDaniel was released from jail on Jan. 19 after a bond of $250,000 was posted. Records show that AAA Bonding secured the bond, which was signed

by McDaniel. The only condition added to the bond documents was that McDaniel was to have no contact with the victim’s family.

Other court records show details that have not been released previously.

McDaniel’s arrest warrant lists the time of the crime as between the hours of 11:30 p.m. on

families filed a federal class-action lawsuit on Nov. 13 in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigam in Detroit against Governor Rick Snyder and 13 other city and state officials, including former Flint Mayor Dayne Walling and ex-emergency financial manager Darnell Earley, who was in charge of the city when the switch to the Flint River was made. The complaint alleges that the officials acted recklessly and negligently, leading to serious injuries from lead poisoning including autoimmune disorders, skin lesions, and “brain fog.” The complaint says that the officials’ conduct was “reckless and outrageous” and “shocks the conscience and was deliberately indifferent to ... constitutional rights.”

The legal doctrines of sovereign immunity (which protects the state from suit) and official immunity (which in Michigan shields top government officials from personal liability, even in cases of gross negligence) resulted in comparatively few lawsuits being filed in the Flint case, and caused large national plaintiffs’ law firms to be reluctant to become involved with the case, according to Reuters.

On Jan. 14, a separate class-action lawsuit was filed by three Flint residents against Snyder, the State of Michigan, the City of Flint, Earley, Walling, and Croft in Michigan Circuit Court in Genesee County. This suit targets lower-level officials who (under Michigan law) do not have immunity from claims arising from gross negligence, the Reuters report said.

Reuters added that a separate suit was filed in January 2016 in the Michigan Court of Claims against the governor and state agencies; that suit alleges violations of the state constitution.

In Michigan, the Court of Claims is the only court with subject-matter jurisdiction over claims against the state and its subdivisions.

Chamber

continued from page 1

Five years ago, I drug him in the civic community to become a school board member. In 2013 he became chamber president and little did I know that he was going to do it four years. There is no other person I could be more honored to present this award that bears my father’s name.”

White’s presentation made Carter speechless.

“Karen, you got me,” Carter said at the podium.

At the program, the chamber elected new officers and board members. Carter was elected to another term as chamber president, a position he has held since 2013.

The chamber also awarded business of the year to USAmeriBank Dadeville Branch and the Public Service Person of the Year went to longtime Dadeville resident Mayor Joe Smith.

Even after the program Carter was still a little speechless as he exchanged handshakes and hugs with those in attendance.

“I cannot think of another way to be honored that would be greater than this,” Carter said afterwards. “I always thought a lot of Mr. Butcher and I am just thrilled.”

Carter said that Butcher cannot be duplicated.

“The word follow is about the only way to put it,” Carter said. “I don’t think anyone can fill those shoes. I would like to think that I try to carry on in this community what he believed in.”

That would be the time that the two were last seen and when the body was discovered.

The two men were seen at Col. Tom’s Tavern, a club located at 10207 County Road 34 near Dadeville the Saturday night before Crayton’s body was found, witnesses said. Those who were at the club said at one point McDaniel and Crayton were seen playing pool together.

McDaniel, the owner of Lakeside Excavation and Materials, is also known for his appearance on the 2012 History Channel reality show “Bamazon.”

The show tracked the trials and tribulations of a group of Americans running a gold mining operation in Guyana.

Dadeville High one of 32 schools to receive Alabama Power grant STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

The Alabama Power Foundation’s Power To Play program announced earlier this week that Dadeville High School is one of 32 schools to receive a grant of $2,500 designed to encourage students to participate in extra-curricular activities.

Grant recipients were determined through an online voting process, which gave communities across the state the chance to show their support for the competing schools.

To be eligible to receive a grant, schools needed to reach a minimum of 250 votes.

“Participation in high school sports fosters accountability, dedication and leadership skills and is correlated to higher academic achievement,” said John Hudson, president of the Alabama Power

Foundation. “The foundation is proud to support student athletes across the state through Power To Play.”

Alabama Power’s Marshall Griffin said he was proud of Dadeville High School and was delighted to play a role in presented the grant to the school and Coach Rodney Taylor.

“It took a lot of work with the online voting,” Griffin said. “They showed a lot of enthusiasm and were able to secure it through their efforts.”

This is the second year for the Power To Play grant program, which focuses on the importance of keeping students active in sports.

Research shows that students who participate in athletics get better grades and are more likely to graduate from high school, among other benefits.

Since the Alabama Power Foundation’s cre-

ation in 1989 with funds donated by shareholders, it has provided Alabama communities, educational institutions and nonprofits support with non-ratepayer money through more than 20,000 grants and scholarships.

State, county sees slight increase in employment in December

By DAVID GRANGER Staff Writer

Tallapoosa County’s unemployment rate for December jumped slightly from 5.5 percent to 5.7 percent, mirroring the increase

in Alabama’s state unemployment rate from 6.0 percent to 6.2, according to a release issued Friday morning by the office of Gov. Robert Bentley.

Bentley continued to tout Alabama’s total job growth

in 2015 despite the slight increase in the state number.

“In January 2015, economists predicted that wage and salary employment would grow in Alabama by 33,800 in 2015, and we surpassed that number by

more than 10,000 jobs,” Bentley said. “Employers are hiring in Alabama, and these numbers prove it. We will continue our efforts to recruit and add jobs to the economy in 2016.”

Commissioner Fitzgerald Washington said a December labor force equivalent to summer’s normal peaks were the reason for the slight upswing in the unemployment rate.

“Although a slight increase in the unemployment rate is never celebrated, this month’s increase is attributed to the fact that the labor force increased by nearly 10,000, while people were out looking for work, seasonal or otherwise,” Washington said.

“December’s labor force count was on par with the summer months, which is traditionally when the most people are searching for work. Increases in the labor force represent increased confidence in the job market.”

Despite the increase from last month, Tallapoosa County’s unemployment rate remained down as compared to December 2014, when the rate was 5.9 percent. The state rate was up slightly over last year, 6.2 percent compared to 6.1 percent in December 2014.

In raw numbers, 89 more people were employed in Tallapoosa County in November than in December. The number of individuals in the civilian labor force – or looking for work – in the county also was lower by 44 than in November.

Statewide, employment over the past 12 months saw gains in the education and health services sector (+5,100), the leisure and

hospitality sector (+4,800), the trade, transportation, and utilities sector (+4,500), and the construction sector (+4,000), among others.

“The construction sector has experienced its best year in five years,” Washington added.

“Construction employment is a great indicator of economic health: construction doesn’t drive the economy, but the economy drives construction.”

Alabama counties with the lowest unemployment rates for December were Shelby County at 4.1%, Elmore and Lee Counties at 4.9%, and Autauga, Cullman, and St. Clair Counties at 5.0%. Counties with the highest rates were Wilcox (15.3 percent), Clarke (11.9 percent), Perry (10.9), Lowndes (10.7) and Greene (10.6).

Only seven of Alabama’s 67 counties saw their unemployment rates go down or remain steady compared to November. Those counties were Bullock (down from 8.5 percent to 8.1), Calhoun (down from 6.6 percent to 6.5), Cherokee (remained steady at 5.1 percent), Colbert (remained steady at 7.2 percent), Crenshaw (down from 6.0 percent to 5.9), Etowah (remained steady at 5.8 percent) and Pickens (down from 6.2 percent to 6.0).

Coosa County’s unemployment rate increased from 5.8 percent in November to 6.1 percent in December.

Extension Service is weigh-in site for Scale Back SUE PEMBERTON NEP Agent Assistant

Obesity is a problem in Alabama.

In fact, Alabama has the sixth highest rate of adult obesity of any state in the nation.

In its 10th year, Scale Back Alabama, a free statewide weight-loss competitive program, targets these adults. The first SBA team weigh-in is Jan. 25-31, and the weigh-out is April 11-17. Scale Back Alabama 2016 ends April 29.

“One of Alabama Extension’s planned programs is Health and Wellness Across the Lifespan, so it is a perfect fit for Extension agents in Human Nutrition, Diet and Health and nutrition educators in the Extension Food and Nutrition Education Program

and the Nutrition Education Program to participate in Scale Back Alabama,” said Dr. Barbara Struempler, Extension state leader for nutrition programs.

The SBA challenge is meant to not only encourage participants to lose 10 pounds in a 10-week period, but also to encourage adults to use the challenge as a launching point to make lifestyle changes and become healthier in 2016 and for a lifetime.

The Tallapoosa County Extension office is serving as a weigh-in and weigh-out site. Sue Pemberton with the Nutrition Education Program will be available for any diet and health questions you may have.

Since the first competition in 2007, Alabamians participating in the program have lost 1.2 million pounds.

To get started, teams must register

at http://scalebackalabama.com/ projedt/register/ before going for their first weigh-in Jan. 25-31.

A participating team consists of two people. Each team member is encouraged to lose 10 pounds in a 10-week period. Teams who lose 10 pounds per member are entered into a statewide drawing for cash prizes. The first three teams drawn will receive $1,000 per team member, the second three will receive $500 per team member and the third three will receive $250 per team member. Forty individuals will also receive a prize of $100.

Scale Back Alabama sponsors include Alabama Hospital Association, Alabama Department of Public Health and Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama.

DADEVILLE – It started and ended as an emotional Senior Night for the Dadeville Tigers, as they pulled out a 54-52 overtime area win over the Elmore County Panthers on Tuesday night.

Dadeville Coach Rodney Taylor said the Tigers played with a high effort that carried over from Monday night, as his team got it done in the end.

“It actually started last night. We went down to BTW and the first time I actually saw us playing with energy, excitement, and I told them I think we’re going to be all right. I think that carried over to tonight,” Taylor said. “We had some moments, which you’re going to have them, but I thought we played with energy, excitement and we battled hard. We lost to this team by 17 and by 25 at their place. I thought tonight we did what we had to do to win. We made it hard on ourselves by missing like 25 free throws, but we did it in the end.”

Dadeville held a 42-39 lead until Elmore County’s Johnnie Jasper buried a 3-pointer to tie it up with 24 seconds left.

Dadeville had an opportunity to take the lead at the charity stripe, but Tre Johnson missed both shots.

Elmore County’s Tyric Belyeu launched a 3-point attempt as time expired, but it missed to send the game into OT. The Panthers went up 43-42 to open the overtime period when Mikell Floyd went 1-of-2 from the line, but Johnson scored underneath the basket to put Dadeville back up at 44-43 with 3:44 left to play.

Elmore County countered with a basket down low from big man Markel Leonard, but Dadeville responded with a corner three by Qua Tucker that made it a 47-45 game in favor of the Tigers with 2:46 left.

Dadeville extended the lead to 49-45 when Johnson added two points from the free throw line.

But Belyeu scored on a layup and Jasper scored on a shot and got fouled, but missed the free throw as the game was tied at 49-49 with 1:31 left.

On the next possession, Tucker came up big for the Tigers, scoring the layup and-one off the steal and assist by Quandarius Moss to put Dadeville up 52-49 with 51 seconds left.

However, the Panthers evened the game up again with a 3-pointer by William Venable with 38 seconds remaining.

But on the very next possession, Dadeville’s Margarius Buchanan scored in the paint to put the Tigers up for good at 54-52.

Elmore County had one more chance, but Jasper’s running shot attempt was missed as Dadeville got the rebound and secured the win.

Johnson led Dadeville with 21 points, while Tucker had 18 points for the Tigers.

Jasper led Elmore County with 14 points, while Floyd

The Dadeville win capped an emotional night for the Tigers as senior guard Quandarius Moss and family received an outpouring of support. Moss lost his parents James Moss and Angela Barnett, who died in a car accident on Jan. 10 as they were on their way to Dadeville’s game at Auburn.

Fans flooded onto the court prior to tip off to show their support for Moss and his family.

“Kid (Moss) loses both his parents,” said an emotional Taylor. “I’m thankful for all of our faculty, the community and everybody who showed up tonight to stand by him when his momma and daddy couldn’t be here on Senior Night.”
