AC Council to accept 2016 audit

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

Alexander City Council member Tommy Spraggins will sit in for Mayor Jim Nabors at Monday’s regular council meeting.

The council will be voting on one thing of importance, the fiscal year 2016 audit, but will also be setting a public

hearing on building codes. The audit was one of the subjects of Tuesday’s work session where Jason Harpe with Carr, Riggs & Ingram explained the issues found in the audit were similar to the ones found in the 2015 audit, both under previous administrations.

“It mirrors a lot to last time,” Harpe told the council Tuesday. “It is mainly internal

controls.”

Harpe noted negatives in the 2016 audit of only having enough funds to operate for 21 days. “$1.2 million is low,” he said. “What we normally want to see is about 90 days of operating expenses in reserve.”

Harpe also noted the general fund has been supporting

the LakeWinds golf course.

Harpe said the course lost over $250,000 in 2016. He also recommended rate studies for utilities as it appears sewer rates may be low as evidenced by the transfers from the water department to cover sewer department losses.

The council will also be voting on a resolution to set a public hearing for Dec. 17

to update city codes 2014 NEC Code, 2015 International Property Maintenance Code, 2015 International Fuel Gas Code, 2015 International Mechanical Code, 2015 International Property Maintenance Code, 2015 International Plumbing Code and the 2015 International Pool Code.

City school board looks over superintendent contract

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Alexander City Board of Education is one step closer to officially bringing on Dr. Daniel Keith Lankford as the new superintendent of the city school system.

Friday morning, board members met to review a proposed contract to send to Lankford for his approval as the finer details of the agreement continue to be negotiated.

“The process the board is in right now is the negotiation process,” superintendent Dr. Darrell Cooper said. “They are in the process of communicating back and forth with Dr. Lankford on everything and working out the contract.”

Cooper said, after the negotiations on items like salary and benefits have concluded, a finalized contract will be prepared, and if Lankford accepts the agreement there, his hire as the new superintendent will be made official. While he could not release any of the specific details surrounding See SUPERINTENDENT • Page 3

The Outlook

Daughter is last to learn of new love in dad’s life DEAR ABBY: My father began dating four years after my mother passed away from a terrible bout with cancer. He and I have always been close; in fact, I have always considered him to be one of my best friends. But since he started dating he has changed.

I just traveled across the country for a family funeral and discovered that he has a new love in his life, and that he flew her out to see all of our extended family.

My dying grandmother got to meet her, but I didn’t even know her name! When I expressed to him that I felt he had cut me out entirely, it made him angry.

Apparently, he and this woman have been dating for almost a year. I had always imagined that when Dad met someone, his kids would be the first people he would want to call and share with. It has been a bitter pill to swallow knowing that my father would so brazenly disregard his daughter.

DEAR ABBY Advice

He told me he didn’t know why he had cut me out and ignored me. But we can’t seem to get over it. We have gone from calling and texting daily to not speaking in months. What was an easy parent/child relationship is now awkward and uncomfortable, and I’m at a loss about how to fix it. -- ABANDONED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR ABANDONED: Having never met your father, it’s hard to guess why he would behave the way he has. That you could have communicated almost daily and have no clue about what was going on makes it obvious that it was no oversight. Not all

“children” are accepting of a new woman in a father’s life, even if he has been widowed for a long time.

It’s possible you were kept in the dark because he was afraid of how you would react.

No one can blame you for feeling the way you do. Your father mishandled this, and I am sorry for your pain. A step toward fixing this would be to try to forgive him, and to move forward by telling him you want him to be happy.

DEAR ABBY: When I am in a frenzy preparing to host a party and one of the guests calls a few minutes before arrival time to say they are going to be late, I get really annoyed. I think, please just BE late and don’t bother me when I’m putting the finishing touches on everything or welcoming other guests.

I assume these individuals are trying to be considerate, and if they were the only guest coming, I

agree they should call. But if they are one of many, it’s a distraction to have to answer the phone and listen to their excuse. Am I wrong? I don’t know if I’m the only one who gets annoyed when this happens. Am I being ungrateful when someone is trying to be considerate? -- FRENZIED IN GEORGIA DEAR FRENZIED: I think so.

Your guest is trying to be polite and is afraid that you will worry.

(Fat chance!) This isn’t an unusual occurrence, but a charming host will not reveal annoyance.

It takes only a second to reply, “We’ll see you when you get here!” and get off the phone.

one room in the school as a key component of the education process.

“I really consider the library to be the center of our school,” Porter said.

“If we can get them using the library as a resource, we can get them more interested in learning. We want our students to enjoy education and learning to become the proverbial lifelong learner.”

While this is only his first year as a principal, Porter has been in the education field for 14 years, all of which have been within the Tallapoosa County system. He began his career teaching at the former Edward Bell High School in Camp Hill before working with students at the middle school level in Reeltown. He has also worked at the central office for the county school system, where he was instrumental in getting the virtual academy started and also oversaw the credit recovery and alternative school programs.

Since taking over as principal, Porter said he has placed an emphasis on reading and reading comprehension.

This is further emphasized through the fact that grades kindergarten through third at Reeltown are part of the Alabama Reading Initiative, wtih faculty members taking input from both ARI officials and the school’s media specialists. As a way to get students more excited about reading, the library

has transformed one corner of the room into “The Reading Café,” a comfortable area where students can enjoy their books.

“We want to make reading fun for our students,” Porter said. “It’s not about who reads the most, it’s about comprehension and improvement.

Students who go from reading 40 books to 100 books, that’s a tremendous improvement. But students going from reading zero books to five books, that’s also a tremendous improvement.”

With students going directly to Reeltown High School after they graduate from Reeltown Elementary, Porter said he works closely with RHS principal Dr. Tom Cochran, working to address and head off some of the issues Cochran said students coming into the high school sometimes bring with them across the street from the elementary school. To this end, Porter said each subject of study has its own department chair, so the different grades can all be on a similar wavelength and the lesson plans from one grade to another see a greater deal of continuity.

Technology is another key component of the education at Reeltown, according to Porter. Students are able to use classroom computers to complete some of their assignments With so many things working together for a larger vision, Porter said it is key for everyone involved to

buy into the process for progress to be made. Thankfully, he said he has seen teachers, staff members, students and parents all buying in to what he wants to accomplish.

“So far, we’ve seen the largest open house many of our veteran teachers said they’ve seen before,” Porter said.

“We’ve had the largest Grandparents Day celebration, the largest Veterans Day program, the greatest turnout for the Parent-Teacher Organization.

People want to be a part of this. Our partnership with the community is strong, and we are even working to form stronger partnerships with local businesses and companies.

“A lot of schools like to say they’re a family, but here at Reeltown, I feel it’s a sincere thought that we are family.

The Reeltown community and the schools here are like no other place I’ve ever been. We want the school to speak with one voice and with one message, and we want parent and community involvement to be a part of that.”

Even though Porter sees himself more as someone there to support teachers and everyone else involved with the school, there is one key item he helps to lead the school in.

“We spend time in our classrooms on civic responsibility,” Porter said. “We remind our students that it’s up to them to make their community a better place.

I want this to be part of the legacy of

my tenure. I want to leave this school in a better place, and I want our students to make our community a better place.”

Like many other schools, Porter believes one of the major concerns facing Reeltown Elementary is the need for proper funding to run all of the programs the school wants to offer its students. However, he feels Tallapoosa County Schools superintendent Joe Windle has been working effectively with the Tallapoosa County Commission, finding ways to secure funding for the county schools for years to come. At the same time, Porter said parents and members of the community help out by giving what they can, when they can.

“We will have people coming through the car line, dropping their children off or picking them up, and they will literally hand us dollars out the window, telling us to put the money towards helping the school,” Porter said. “Some of our parents have become monthly donors to the school.”

Overall, Porter feels the school is on the correct path, but it cannot stop finding ways to improve everything it can do for its students.

“We need to grow every year, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction,” he said. “We want our students to understand their role here is more than just getting good grades, it’s about getting a good education.”

Superintendent the negotiation, Cooper did say everything was still falling well within the range the board had agreed on earlier in the search and had advertised the position for.

“Hopefully it will all be worked out within a few

continued from page 1

days,” Cooper said. “The hope is the board will be able to have either a special called meeting, or bring it up at the Nov. 27 meeting to approve the contract.”

Executive secretary Jackie Brewer said the board did

not engage in any major discussion during Friday morning’s meeting, as board members had the opportunity to look over the contract before the meeting. She said everyone felt the contract looked

good, though they were allowed to discuss matters further if there had been any questions.

Along with going over the contract as it had been prepared, Cooper said the board approved giving board

president Michael Ransaw the power to negotiate with Lankford on behalf of the board.

“The biggest thing is hopefully it will all come to an agreement in the next few days,” Cooper said.

OTHER WAYS TO HELP THE GIRLS RANCH For those who may be interested in helping the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Girls Ranch beyond donating to the United Way, Harmon said the ranch can always use toiletries, laundry detergent and diswashing soap for the residencies. As the ranch is also a working farm, he said donations of livestock and farm equipment are always welcome. Lastly, Harmon said the ranch can use art supplies, kitchen supplies, clothing and prom/homecoming dresses.

babysitter for the evening, the parents took off to dinner and a movie. Once the couple finished dinner, they called home to tell their daughters good night, and while driving from the restaurant to the movie, the couple was killed in a head-on collision.

Following the accident, the three girls went to live with their grandparents. However, their grandfather died shortly after they arrived, and their grandmother passed away six months later.

Without any other family members to help care for them, the three girls needed a place to call home. For young women like these three, there is a place in Tallapoosa County providing a setting where they feel loved and cared for.

Under the leadership of director Jimmy Harmon, the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Girls Ranch is located near Camp Hill and offers care for girls ages 6 through 18. The young women are taught the skills they will need to succeed in the future, while also receiving valuable spiritual, emotional and physical development to further build the girls into stronger women.

While there are those who stay at the ranch until they graduate from high school and others who stay for a shorter time period, every young woman who comes through the program knows everyone at the ranch loves her and cares about her.

One thing Harmon said the ranch stresses to the public is it is not a correctional facility,

but instead gives its young women a homelike environment where school attendance is mandatory and extracurriculars are encouraged. Some of the girls even have a job and do volunteer work while living at the ranch.

Since he began working at the ranch,

Harmon said he has seen many of the girls who come through the program become successful both while at the ranch and after leaving, including the three young women whose story he shared.

“The sisters have been at the ranch for around three months now and are doing very well,” Harmon said.

“The oldest just made the volleyball team (at her school), the middle child is doing great in school and carries around a ready smile and the youngest is able to be a kid.

She loves swimming, fishing and helping

feed the animals.”

Recently, Harmon said the oldest of the three children came to him, thanking the ranch for taking her and her two younger sisters in, while also saying how much she loved the houseparents who have helped look after the three of them.

“While these young ladies have had a lot of loss to cope with and a great deal of issues to be healed, at least they now know they have a safe and secure environment and people that love and cherish them, as their parents did not so long ago,” Harmon said.

Fall festival a great way for students to unwind

Today’s

Scripture

“Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law.”

— Psalm 119:18

T

hursday evening, the faculty and staff of Jim Pearson Elementary School welcomed students and parents to campus for its second annual fall festival.

Throughout the evening, students had the chance to enjoy a variety of games and win prizes, feel the thrill of zipping down a giant inflatable slide or compete against their friends in a sack race. Children and their parents could also take a moment and cool down in the cafeteria with some refreshments or try their luck winning a cake, pie or other baked goods in the cake walk in the music room.

The fall festival was held by the school as a way to raise money for the Jim Pearson academic booster club, but it also gave students a chance to have a little fun and be themselves while on the school grounds.

Oftentimes, we look at our schools and see it as nothing more than a place for learning. However, just because they serve as academic institutions does not mean faculty and staff cannot find ways to offer their students a little fun as well. With events like the fall festival at Jim Pearson, students have the chance to take some time after a long school day, relax, unwind and have some fun in the process.

This event also helped the school’s academic booster club raise valuable money to make sure awards ceremonies the school holds are as nice as possible, with plenty of awards to hand out to those who achieve high honors.

Although not everybody left winning something in the cake walk and the candy won at the various game stations sure to be gone within the next week or so, the Jim Pearson fall festival proved to be a great success for everyone involved. The booster club raised much-needed funds for its offerings, while the students and their parents got to have fun. We applaud the faculty and staff at Jim Pearson for offering this program, giving everyone the chance to enjoy their evening and help the school out at the same time.

Daily Poll Wednesday’s Question: Have you or someone you know ever struggled with addiction?

Dems are trying to steal an election in Florida

R

epublican Gov. Rick Scott leads Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson by 12,562 votes in the Florida Senate race. A margin of victory that large has never be overturned in a recount.

According to FairVote, the average vote shift in statewide general election recounts is a meager 282 votes. “The biggest swing came in Florida’s 2000 presidential election recount, when Al Gore cut 1,247 votes off George W. Bush’s lead, ultimately not enough to flip the state to his column,” according to a FiveThirtyEight report on what FairVote found.

So even if Nelson were to swing 10 times as many votes in this recount as Gore did in 2000, he would still come up short.

Democrats know that recounting the existing votes is unlikely to change the result. So Democrats have filed a series of lawsuits asking courts to change Florida elections laws after the fact. The result would be that they can count ineligible votes in the hope that these will provide the margin necessary to overcome Scott’s lead. For example, Florida statute mandates that, with the exception of overseas and military voters, vote-by-mail ballots are counted only if they are “received by the supervisor of elections not later than 7 p.m. on the day of the election.” But Nelson has sued demanding that mail ballots that arrived after the 7 p.m. deadline to be counted as part of the recount.

Similarly, Florida law says mail and provisional ballots are counted only if the signatures on them match the signatures that elections offices have on record. If there is a signature mismatch, the

MARC THIESSEN Columnist voter is notified and can “complete and submit an affidavit in order to cure the vote-by-mail ballot until 5 p.m. on the day before the election” (emphasis added).

But Democrats are asking a judge to throw that law out and count ballots with signatures that don’t match the voter signature on file.

Federal prosecutors are investigating charges that Florida Democratic Party officials urged voters to fix their ballots after Election Day, including evidence that they changed official state election documents to indicate that ballots could be returned after the polls had closed. Initial reports indicated this was limited to a handful of counties, but a new report in the Naples Daily News has uncovered emails showing that “Florida Democrats were organizing a broader statewide effort beyond those counties to give voters the altered forms” with the goal to “fix and submit as many absentee ballots as possible with the altered forms in hopes of later including them in vote totals if a judge ruled such ballots were allowed.”

Florida law also instructs the Department of State to “adopt specific rules ... prescribing what constitutes a ‘clear indication on the ballot that the voter has made a definite choice.’”

The Department of State has done so, providing clear standards for determining whether a voter intended to vote for a particular candidate. Now Democratic lawyers are asking a judge to order Florida to ignore this intent standard when

reviewing “under votes,” so they can add ballots that do not qualify under Florida law.

While national Democrats sue in the courts to change election law after the election, local Democratic officials running the recount are accused of engaging in serious irregularities.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, Democratleaning Broward County submitted vote totals that include ballots disqualified by the canvassing board, while Palm Beach was rebuked by a judge after it duplicated 650 ballots without submitting them to canvassing board.

There is also evidence that officials in Democratleaning Broward Country have been dragging their feet in carrying out the recount. Miami-Dade -- the most populous county in the state -- was halfway done with its entire recount by Monday morning and easily met the 3 p.m. Thursday deadline required by law.

But by Monday evening, Broward County had not yet started its recount. And on Thursday, Palm Beach failed to meet the legal deadline.

These counties’ problems could have many different possible causes, including incompetence, or fraud, or both. But it’s fair to ask whether these Democratic counties are intentionally slow rolling the recount to delay final election results in the hopes that Democratic lawsuits will work and that a judge will allow them to count ineligible votes in violation of state law. As Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., explained, “That isn’t a strategy to win an election, that is a strategy to steal an election.”

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Pace yourself, and you will get a lot more done. Once you clear out your obligations, you might be in the mood to meet up with a close loved one. You and this person could decide to kick back and enjoy going to a concert or a play. Tonight: Allow your mind to wander.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your playfulness takes you down a unique path; however, not everyone understands your levity or your more-lighthearted side. Try to tune in to a close friendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s humor. Confusion or a misunderstanding sets the tone of your day. Remain upbeat.

Tonight: Play out a fantasy.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be somewhat unfocused and/or unsure of yourself. Your choices might not be up to snuÉ&#x2C6; or reĂ&#x2026;ective of who you really are.

Maintain a light and easygoing attitude. Confusion could occur around money. Use caution with your funds. Tonight: In the mood to let oÉ&#x2C6; steam.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You experience an obligation that might not be comfortable with. You could try to back out or change the terms; however, those eÉ&#x2C6;orts will backĂ&#x201E;re. Be open to someone elseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs. You could have a far better time than you think you will. Tonight: A discussion helps you feel better.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Observe a tendency to go overboard, at least in your mind. No matter what your choices are, they will veer you toward excessiveness.

You can make a deliberate decision not to participate. Follow your heart, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t go wrong. Tonight: Treat a loved one to a favorite dessert.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You appear to have the magic touch. You say the right words at the right time -- at least today. If you said those words on a diÉ&#x2C6;erent day, you might experience a backĂ&#x201E;re.

A friend who is older easily could become diÉ&#x2030;cult and cantankerous.

Tonight: You call the shots for now.

Horseshoe Bend’s Abby Cheatam looks to pass around Elmore County’s Cheyenne Thorton (11) on Friday.

HBS girls falter in final quarter vs. Panthers

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

After a close game through about three and a half quarters, Horseshoe Bend’s girls basketball team let things get away from it in its season opener against Elmore County on Friday.

Midway through the third quarter, ECHS point guard Madison Traylor put the pressure on the Generals, picking up back-to-back steals and finishing both with layups. From there, the Generals could never recover in a 49-30 loss to start the season.

“It just got a little sloppy,” Horseshoe Bend coach Erica Meigs said. “We just need to make See GIRLS • Page 12

Dismal first-half shooting looked like it was going to make for a long night for Horseshoe Bend’s boys basketball team. The Generals went just 4-for-26 from the floor against Elmore County in the first 16 minutes of Friday night’s season opener.

Despite that, they were down just seven points and managed to come back and even take a lead in the third quarter. It stayed close until midway through the final frame, but then a few HBS turnovers and easy looks for the Panthers allowed Elmore County to pull out a 45-35 victory.

“We got down a few points, we gave up two easy ones down there and we kinda stopped rebounding defensively,” Horseshoe Bend coach Chad Kison said. “Then we had to start pushing a little bit. We have some kids that haven’t been in those situations before, so for us, knowing how to finish is going to be important and that comes with experience. They’re still working.”

The Generals held a lead as late as 4:15 left in the fourth when Kam Evers went off. He hit a reverse layup to tie it at 30-30, then grabbed a defensive rebound and went shooting down the court. He passed it inside

to Colby Cheaney, who fed it back to Evers who drained an open 3-pointer to give the Generals a lead.

But Elmore County coach Rodney Taylor called a timeout, and from there, the Panthers stepped up the defensive pressure and went up 37-33 with a longball from Shakwan Bickley, a putback by DJ Patrick and a layup from Keyshawn Benson. “(Nywanski Russell) for them is a really good player and we tried to just wear him down,” Taylor said. “That’s why we stuck Cole Hagler on him then stuck Keyshawn on him, and I think he got tired

and that affected their offense a little bit. Then we were able to stretch it out and put it away at the end. I was real proud of the kids for finishing the game the way we did.”

One of Horseshoe Bend’s strongest points was its rebounding, which Kison said was a concern heading into the season.

Despite having a clear height disadvantage, the Generals finished with a 42-35 edge on the boards.

Russell led the way with eight, Holt Tidwell added seven and Stephon Buchanan grabbed six.

Coosa boys blow out Sylacauga Lady Cougars edge out Aggies in season opener

By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer

The Central Coosa Cougars basketball season started on a high note, as the boys and girls teams both notched a victory over the Sylacauga Aggies. The Lady Cougars slid past the Aggies, 42-38, while the boys crushed Sylacauga, 66-49.

“We wanted to just focus on making sure we take care of our home court,” Coosa boys coach Jeremy Freeman said. “That means we just do the things that we’ve been talking about all these past weeks and just implementing them into a game-type situation. Being that they were the defending (Class 5A) state champions, we took pride upon having them for our first ballgame of the year.”

Cougars girls coach Syreeta McKinney said, “This is the start to something great for us. Basically, I have a young team, so right now, I’m just trying to build.”

The Coosa boys team came out on fire, nailing shot after shot, while Sylacauga couldn’t get on the scoreboard until halfway through the opening quarter. The Cougars led 19-3 after one period and held a 39-18 advantage at halftime.

“We got really excited on defense early on in the game,” Freeman said. “That kind of made it a little easier offensively once we got them worrying about what we were going to do defensively, they couldn’t really think about what we were going to do offensively. Our rhythm really wasn’t what I wanted, but we were getting

The Aggies clawed back into the game in the second half, finding some rhythm and narrowing the gap to 58-38 as the third quarter drew to a close.

However, Coosa played keep away for much of the final frame, letting the clock run down while also giving some of the backup players some minutes on the floor, experience that could come in handy as the season progresses.

Noel Jones was not too far behind with 16 points, with a pair of 3-pointers and six made free throws.

After a back-and-forth affair in the first half of the girls game, with the teams tied 16-16 going into halftime, the Lady Cougars seized momentum in the third quarter to build a five-point lead going into the final frame, saw it slip away, then scored the last few See COOSA • Page 12

and then the second half, we really worked hard on the offensive glass,” Kison said. “It was nonexistent the first half, but I talked to them about it at halftime and second half, they were on the offensive boards and got some looks from it.”

Taylor said, “I thought they hurt us on the boards.

They were just taking the ball out of our hands, so we have to be more physical and tougher in those situations.”

ou know how people say it’s not really a coach’s team until he’s been the head coach for more than a year. That first year is all about getting the jitters out, players starting to understand new expectations and a new coach convincing those players to buy into his system.

That’s sort of how I felt last year — I was the new kid on the block.

People in the community weren’t sure what to expect; coaches didn’t know if they could trust me; and the players didn’t know what I was all about.

But after that first year, I fully got my feet wet and this season, I felt like covering football in Tallapoosa and Coosa counties was truly my domain.

Of course I worried when Danny Horn left. It’s extremely important for the sports editor of a local paper to have a strong relationship with the flagship school’s head coach, and Horn and I had developed a repertoire that came naturally.

So when he left, I wondered if a new relationship would be built as easily.

But then came Kevin Smith as the new head coach at Benjamin Russell, and even though he wasn’t new to the community or the Wildcats necessarily, he was relatively new to me. But what I thought was a comfortable working relationship with Horn was nothing compared to how I came to know Smith this season.

Smith lives and breathes football.

Tigers gearing up for hoops season next week Dadeville boys have high expectations after last year’s success

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Both Dadeville’s girls and boys basketball teams ended on high notes last season, and they’re hoping they can carry that momentum over into this year.

It’s not going to be easy for the girls squad, which boasts just one senior, two juniors and one sophomore to go along with a slew of freshmen. Although the Tigers will be a young squad, many of those ninth-graders have varsity experience after moving up to help out a depleted team last year.

They actually helped lift Dadeville to second in the area tournament.

“We were able to make it to the sub regional game, so that was a good thing,” Dadeville girls coach Pam Holloway said. “It said a lot for the kids coming in because we only had four (players) until January then the young girls came in, and they did well considering they didn’t get to play

Girls better passes and take our time. I think it was just first game jitters and our shots weren’t falling.”

All night, HBS struggled putting the ball in the hoop, but it kept the game close by playing strong defense and rebounding extremely well. The Generals finished with a total of 41 rebounds, with five different players picked up at least five boards, but they started to fall off at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth.

“They rebounded well at least the first three quarters,” Meigs said. “But we kinda quit there at the end.”

But the biggest turning point came when Traylor took over defensively.

The Generals led 23-21 with 4:30 remaining in the third, but the Panthers responded by tying it up on a feed from Traylor to Diamond Brown to make it 23-23.

Then Traylor forced her back-toback turnovers, and the Generals trailed 34-26 at the end of the third quarter. It was the largest lead of the night for either team up to that point.

“We were able to get the nerves out of the way, I think that was the big thing,” Elmore County coach Amy Rachel said. “I knew being the first game it was going to be a mess at least for a little bit until they just got back in game mode. We increased the pressure on the ball a little bit, and if you get three or four turnovers in a row and are able to capitalize on it, it really makes a difference. It builds confidence and it takes away momentum from the other team, so I think that was the big change.”

turnovers throughout the evening, finishing with 19 on the night.

Despite that, Meigs said she still feels good about how her team performed being that most of her players are so young. The Generals did a nice job of spreading out the offensive wealth; Abby Cheatam led the way with eight points, while Jahia Jennings and Caly Carlisle each had six.

Carlisle grabbed eight rebounds, and Jennings and Cheatam each had seven. Kate Lewis contributed six rebounds, and Ivy Vickers came off the bench to pull down five rebounds.

back at guard/small forward.

Janiya Wyckoff will also play guard, Layla Grace will take up the post position and Nhylee Banks will run the point. Wyckoff, Grace and Banks are all freshmen. The fifth starting spot is still to be determined.

Holloway is hoping to get good leadership from juniors Makya Johnson and Skye Foster. Foster did not play last year but played under Holloway as a freshman.

“They are just going to add a lot of growth and maturity from a mental standpoint,” Holloway said. “And I hope they are able to contribute as we get started and the season progresses.”

Although Holloway said there’s no one big standout for the girls team, she’s actually looking forward to spreading the wealth.

“I hope we’ll be a little quicker team this year, and I look to be able to get more offense from more players,” she said. “Last year, we just relied on Quanesha (Presley), but this year, I’m hoping we’ll have several players that can actually score and we’re not relying on just one player.”

On the boys side, the Tigers also graduated a couple of key players, but they return a strong corps.

enough to compete with Traylor, who had a standout game in her senior season debut. In addition to scoring 10 points, she capped off a doubledouble with 17 rebounds to go along with four assists and four steals.

“She’s a phenomenal athlete and an excellent basketball player, and I knew going into it she was going to be a leader on the court,” Rachel said. “She stepped right in and filled that. Even she was a little shaky the first half. She was forcing some things but was able to settle in the second half. The defense that she played — if nothing else, she was making people uncomfortable out there.”

“He came in and gave us some really good minutes handling the ball and pressuring the ball,” Taylor said. “He’s a very good athlete.”

Although the Generals walked away with a loss to start the season, Kison was encouraged, especially by the way his team played in the second half.

“I’m positive about it,” Kison said. “That’s a (Class) 4A school, and they had some good athletes.

That’s a well-coached team.

Rodney is a good coach, and with it being our first game, on the road, I thought we did some stuff that was real good. We can build off this.”

Coosa points to win by four.

With three and a half minutes to play, Sylacauga took a 36-35 lead. However, Aliona McKenzie banged in a 2-point shot to retake the lead for Coosa. Shae Suttles had a pair of strong shots to give Coosa a three-point lead as the final ticks began to slip away. After being fouled, Suttles then went 1 of 2 from the charity stripe with less than 15 seconds left to give the Lady Cougars the 42-38 advantage.

“Once they understood what we were trying to do, it was a home run from there,”

Eason, who threatened as a freshman with his 6-foot-6 stature, has grown immensely over the offseason, according to Tiger boys coach Jesse Foster.

“He’s going to get a lot of grooming this year,” Foster said. “He got a lot stronger than he was last year, so I think he’ll have a little more banging inside.”

Foster said he expects the post game to be the Tigers’ biggest strength this year.

Rounding out the starting lineup will be some combination of guards Jay Patrick, Cameron Tai and Tripp McKinley, while LaDarius Moore and D.J. Foster should come off the bench to contribute some big minutes.

“I think my guard play is going to be a strength,” Foster said. “Both Jay Patrick and Wilkerson look good, and I hope P.J. dominates this year. We should have balanced scoring, and we’ll run a lot of man defensively with a 1-3-1 trap and a 1-3-1 zone. We’re still going to try to get up and down the floor.”

In moving down to Class 3A, the Tigers will now compete with the likes of Beulah, B.B. Comer and Randolph County in the area.

Dadeville hosts its first game of the season Tuesday night against Central Coosa with the girls game starting about 5:30 p.m. and the boys to follow.

with football — if either of us had the time, that is. I went into his office once asking him about this video a friend sent to me about route running and play calling, something I thought I knew fairly well. But I quickly realized football coaches have a secret foreign language of their own, which Smith was more than happy to share with me.

All of the coaches and players we have in this area are incredible people, and after that first year, I think they now all know I’m not out to get them — I’m just here to tell their stories.

And there were some incredible stories to tell this season.

Central Coosa ended with its second winless season in a row, but somehow the Cougars added players to the roster throughout the year. Dadeville certainly went through more downs than ups this year, but Tiger coach Richard White was always impressed with how his players never gave up.

The Horseshoe Bend Generals thought they’d have a much better season than they did, but there still were some big standouts, namely freshman Holt Tidwell who came into a tough situation and still played his best.

Benjamin Russell overcame some unbelievable adversity after the tragic deaths of Devin Billups and coach Curtis Glaize, and the Wildcats continued to fight and claw every single Friday night.

I think we all had the highest expectations for Reeltown, which returned almost all of its skill players and the core of its strong defense from last year. Although the Rebels were upset in the first round — and they, too, had a slew of unforeseeable adversity in the form of injuries to very key players — you still can’t say enough about their accomplishments this season.

I always tend to get a little nostalgic when football season ends. It’s something everyone puts so much effort into during the buildup.

The players are out there fighting through the summer heat; the coaches are continuously studying and working and devising plans; and even us sportswriters put forth so much effort in the preseason to give readers in-depth information about their teams.

It’s a long grind, but it’s well worth it and I’m already for next year.

McKinney said.

McKenzie and Suttles led the Lady Cougars on the scoreboard with 17 and 15 points, respectively. McKenzie nailed a trio of 3-pointers, while Suttles made seven baskets and converted the only Coosa free throw of the game. Suttles was also a beast on the back glass, pulling down 21 rebounds to complete a double-double.

Both Freeman and McKinney felt their teams had much to improve as the season begins, but both felt confident in their squads after Friday night’s

performances.

“We know we can play with higher classifications,” Freeman said, adding his team will be focusing on making free throws, getting even better conditioned and improving ball handling.

McKinney said, “I’m grateful for the win, but there is so much work we have to do in order to be successful. This shows our girls we can play with anyone, if we put the work in and the time.

We’re definitely going to have to do a better job taking care of the basketball, understanding game situations, things like that.”
