Voters face many decisions Tuesday as they head to the polls to decide who they think our governor should be, as well as voting on other state and county races and amendments to the state constitution.

Before heading to the polls there are a few things to be reminded of, mainly bringing an ID. All voters must present photo identification at the polling booth in order to vote in Alabama, such as a valid: • Alabama driver’s license or non-driver ID card; • Alabama photo voter ID; • A state issued ID (can be from any state); • U.S. passport; • Student/employee ID card issued by a public or private university; • Government ID card; See POLLING • Page 10

Dadeville Elementary School Principal Rance Kirby hands out high-fives to students in the hallway Wednesday.

One of the newest principals in the Tallapoosa County School System, having only been hired this past summer, Dadeville Elementary School Principal Rance Kirby has worked on a plan to continue improving Dadeville Elementary, all of which begins with continuing to emphasize a program the school has had

in place for some time.

“The main thing I’ve been focusing on has been trying to help reinvigorate our school’s Leader in Me program,” Kirby said. “The excitement surrounding it had waned, so I am trying to bring a open-minded attitude and a new spirit to the program moving forward.

This is the big one, with hopefully more to come.”

While this is only Kirby’s first year as a principal at Dadeville Elementary, he has nearly 25 years of educational experience he brought with him to the table. During the 2017-18 See KIRBY • Page 9

ATTENTION TALLAPOOSA COUNTY DISTRICT 3 VOTERS!

I have called Frank Tapley my friend for over thirty years. I know him to be a real conservaƟve and a Republican. In fact, Frank was Įrst elected as a Republican back in 1998. Many people may not know, but Frank is a dues paying member of the Tallapoosa County Republican Party.

He was qualiĮed to run, this elecƟon cycle, for County Commission District 3 by the Tallapoosa County Republican Party. For reasons that are unexplained, the State Republican Party in Montgomery decided

Vote

to disqualify him. So, Frank is running as an Independent Republican and will be on the ballot on November 6th. I think it is important for Tallapoosa County voters to know that they have a choice on ElecƟon Day, but that a straight Ɵcket Republican vote will result in the elecƟon of a Montgomery Republican. If local voters want to elect a Tallapoosa County Republican, they will need to vote for Frank Tapley, the Independent Tallapoosa County Republican. – Gerald Atchison

DEAR ABBY: Twelve years ago, I taught a boy I’ll call Brandon in my first-grade class.

I was very fond of him, and we had a strong connection. I knew Brandon had a tough home life and did my best to provide him a safe place in my classroom.

I stayed in contact with his aunt over the years on social media because she had been a co-worker of my mother’s, and we would occasionally discuss how Brandon was doing.

As he grew older, he began to associate with a bad crowd. He got in more and more trouble at school and eventually dropped out. A few months later, he was sent to prison for a violent crime.

His aunt has asked me to send Brandon a letter because he had always thought so much of me as his teacher. Without giving it much thought, I agreed.

Well, my husband is very opposed to the idea of me contacting Brandon. We have two young children with special needs, and I’m now a stay-athome mom so I can help my children. My husband thinks I’m

DEAR ABBY Advice

already dealing with too much stress, and he doesn’t like the idea of a man who has been convicted of violence being in contact with me.

I am torn about what’s the right thing to do. I feel like I am abandoning Brandon like so many others in his life, but I also see my husband’s point. Abby, please help me to decide what to do. -CONFLICTED IN ILLINOIS DEAR CONFLICTED: I think you should write Brandon ONE letter of encouragement. In it, tell him how highly you thought of him when he was in your class because he probably hasn’t received many compliments for a long time.

Point out that although he is physically incarcerated, his mind doesn’t have to be, and suggest he direct his efforts

toward improving his life once he is released. Furthering his education now would be a way to accomplish it, and if there’s an opportunity for him to earn a degree while he’s inside, he should take it. Also, if there are any books you or his aunt think he might find helpful or inspiring, recommend them.

Close your letter by explaining to Brandon that you have no time for correspondence now because you are caring for two special-needs children, but you did want to reach out this once and you will keep him in your prayers.

DEAR ABBY: I wanted to write you in response to letters you have published in your column about stressful, traditional, ironclad holiday celebrations becoming too much for the hosts.

For most of 40 years, my parents hosted all holiday dinners, which were attended by as many as 14 people. My wife and I finally said, “No more!” We made reservations for Thanksgiving at a nice restaurant and hosted the family. It was beautiful -- family, food, cocktails and no preparation

or cleanup. Mom and Dad said it was the best Thanksgiving they could remember. We thought so, too. Just sayin’. -- SHARING A MEMORY IN WISCONSIN DEAR SHARING: I’m sure your parents enjoyed the process of entertaining the family for the many years they did it. But it is also nice when someone else does the work. I’m printing your letter so other readers can see there is more than one way to skin a cat -- or enjoy a turkey with stuffing.

DEAR READERS: Here we go again. This is my annual reminder that daylight saving time ends at 2 a.m. Sunday. Don’t forget to turn your clocks back one hour at bedtime tonight. And while you’re at it, remember to change the batteries in your fire alarms and smoke detectors.

Susan Fulmer Crump.

After graduating from Auburn University in 1964 with a degree in Aerospace Engineering, he was commissioned for 5 years in the US Navy during which time he served in the Vietnam War. After serving a successful 5 years in the Navy, he returned home to be with his family and build his career. Allen’s direction in life was forever changed at 35 when he committed his life to Jesus Christ. His love for the Lord and his commitment to serve Him became his primary purpose. His children can testify to the change in their “daddy” from that point forward.

Allen had a life-long passion for all thing’s aviation. His love for aviation began at a very young age. He often recalled taking over the controls of his

dad’s airplane when he could barely see over the instrument panel.

Allen received his pilot’s license in the late 60’s, and later served several years as a corporate pilot for Robinson Iron. He was actively involved in the Young Eagles program in Wetumpka. The sole purpose of the program was to introduce and inspire kids in the world of aviation.

For more than 20 consecutive years he attended yearly aviation events in Lakeland, Florida and Oshkosh, Wisconsin with his close friend Joe Stimson.

In recent years he spent his spare time building a kit-airplane, Van’s RV-7, that he started in his basement.

The project was near completion at his death.

She was a tender 15 years old when they married March 21st, 1953 and they celebrated their 65th Anniversary in March of this year. Peggy gave birth to 3 sons and one daughter who they raised to love God, family and country.

They faithfully took their family to Reeltown Baptist Church and were active members there until Bill and Peggy retired and moved to Lake Martin. Peggy taught Sunday School, was a member of WMU, was the diligent Church Treasurer for many years. Most of all, she loved the youth of the church and encouraged them all to seek the Lord. She often carried the unchurched neighborhood children to church. Many of those now testify to the difference that gesture made in the direction of their lives. After raising their children and supporting Bill in his military and farming careers, she turned to her life- long dream to be a hair dresser.

We applaud each person who is running for office – that’s a tough emotional job and just plain hard work. We thank all the candidates for their desire to serve the public, their courage to run for office and their effort in this campaign.

A number of these candidates are unopposed Tuesday. While we did not list all the unopposed candidates, we encourage you to take the time to vote for them in case of a last minute write-in campaign. And we also would like to say among the unopposed are some of our best public servants. We would like to mention two we feel go above and beyond their job descriptions and provide exemplary service to our community: Tallapoosa County Commissioner Steve Robinson and Tallapoosa County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett.

In one contested race we have endorsed both candidates. For Tallapoosa County Commission District 1, T.C. Coley, Jr. and Mark Lamborne are both highly qualified and we feel both would do a good job as commissioner.

Coley’s long experience as a commissioner, having served 5 consecutive terms, speaks for itself and there is a reason he has won that post again and again.

Lamborne is a man we respect greatly and is a hard-working, involved civic leader who we believe would make an excellent commissioner.

We survived Nixon; we’ll survive Trump

N

ext week marks the 50th anniversary of the election of President Richard Nixon.

It is a chance for some perspective. While many seem convinced that the United States will never recover from the Donald Trump presidency, the truth is conservatism, the Republican Party and our nation survived Nixon — and we will survive Trump.

Many conservatives are dismayed with Trump’s failure to condemn the racist alt-right. But let’s not forget that Nixon came to power based on the “Southern Strategy,” winning over disaffected white voters who left the Democrats because of civil rights and the dismantling of Jim Crow.

Many were appalled by Trump’s Helsinki news conference and embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin. But it was Nixon who gave us detente with Moscow, invited Leonid Brezhnev to the White House, and signed the disastrous Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty which restricted U.S. missile defense for decades.

Many are concerned with Trump’s outreach to North Korea and his willingness to hold a summit with its brutal dictator, Kim Jong Un. But it was Nixon who led the opening to Communist China, and sat down with its murderous founder, Mao Zedong — a man responsible for the death of an estimated 65 million people.

Many are disheartened

by Trump’s tariffs and trade wars. Well, Nixon gave us anti-free market economic policies such as wage and price controls.

Many are worried about Trump’s attacks on the media as the “enemy of the American people.” But it was Nixon who sent Vice President Spiro Agnew out to attack the media as a “tiny, enclosed fraternity of privileged men elected by no one” and actually attempted to stop the pub-

MARC THIESSEN Columnist lication of the Pentagon Papers.

Many are disturbed about a possible criminal conspiracy with Russia to steal and publish Democratic Party emails. But, of course, it was Nixon who gave us the coverup of the break-in to the Democratic Party headquarters at the Watergate Hotel.

And, if you think Trump’s Twitter feed is bad, listen to the Nixon tapes and imagine what he would have been like on Twitter.

So, in many ways the Trump presidency is like deja vu all over again.

Except that Trump is, at least for conservatives, arguably a much better president than was Nixon.

While Nixon had a mixed record in Supreme Court appointments, Trump has, so far, given us two of the strongest conservative justices in modern history. While the chairman of Nixon’s Council of Economic Advisers, Herb Stein, bragged that, under Nixon, “probably more new regulation was imposed on the economy than in any other presidency since the New Deal,” Trump has given us a historic regulatory rollback. While Nixon boasted over dramatic cuts in defense spending, Trump has enacted historic increases. While Nixon’s 1969 tax reform increased taxes, Trump’s reforms have cut them. While Nixon withdrew U.S. troops from Vietnam, Trump has unleashed our forces against the Islamic State and has halted the withdrawal from Afghanistan begun during the Obama administration.

Nixon also showed us our constitutional system of checks and balances works, and that if the president crosses a constitutional line,

the rule of law will prevail.

And while Nixon resigned over Watergate, we still don’t know how the Russia inquiry will turn out. It may well be that there was no criminal conspiracy with Russia. Even knowing what we know about Watergate, the United States would not have been better off with George McGovern as president, just as we would not be better off today with Hillary Clinton in the White House.

As bad as things got for Republicans, six years after Nixon’s resignation we elected Ronald Reagan and, just like that, it was Morning in America. Those of us fortunate enough to have lived through the Reagan Revolution have great expectations for the presidency. We want to not just support the policies, but admire the person who occupies the Oval Office.

So our disappointment in Trump’s moral failures is profound. But the truth is, if you look back at U.S. history, there have been few Reagans. Most presidents are mediocre, and some are downright awful.

But the idea that Trump has ushered in an end to the hopeful, optimistic vision for conservatism is absurd.

All conservatism needs to recover is for one great, hopeful, optimistic leader to emerge.

Until then — to paraphrase the man who implemented Nixon’s wage and price controls, Donald Rumsfeld — we go to war with the president we have.

On the Web

Loyal customer congratulates Winn Dixie Dear Editor, Congratulations Winn Dixie for a successful grand re-opening. What started out as a dreary, gray day turned into a day of smiles and excitement as we walked into the brightness of our newly remodeled store. Some friendly faces greeted us, helpful as always. A very talented group from Georgia, “Lisa and the E-Lusions,” provided us with beautiful music that put a smile

on our faces and a bounce in our step. Well-stocked shelves awaited us with many new items, fresh-cooked delicious food ready to purchase in the deli, a fully stocked bakery including fresh doughnuts.

From the bakery, meat department, flower shop and all over the store, you will find friendly employees. Winn Dixie has truly shown us how it appreciates its customers with the gift of this beautiful supermarket that will enhance our

shopping experience. Three things are always important in a supermarket: clean, well stocked, and most of all, helpful, friendly employees. This is exactly what our Winn Dixie is known for, so again I want to thank the manager, Ray Holloway, and all the employees for always making customer service a priority.

A faithful customer, Annette Lynch Alexander City

The Wetumpka Herald

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might feel or believe one thing, yet the facts are unlikely to support its validity. You will need to ask more questions and/or do more research.

Avoid a person who has too much sway in your life -- at least for the moment. Tonight: Relax and enjoy yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your creativity emerges, which allows you to see situations in a new light. Understand that you can’t always use logic to clarify certain hunches. You might want to avoid someone who aɈects you subtly but wields a heavy hand of power.

Tonight: Find a fun friend or two.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be exhausted by all the recent mood changes of those around you. You’ll want to see a particular situation from a more positive, creative perspective. Do that and you might be inspired. Others seem critical and fussy. Tonight: Eye your objectives when making a decision.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your feelings seem to be close to the surface right now. Know that you could be dealing with a particularly sensitive issue. You are seeing this issue through the lens of your emotions. You might have a hard time being completely rational. Tonight: Share more of your thoughts.

LEO (July 23-Aug.22) What a partner presents as a great idea could easily dissolve right in front of your eyes. Be kind, but do not make any decisions just yet.

Enjoy this person, but stay out of situations where your actions could have long-term implications. Tonight: Surround yourself with great music.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A wave of confusion surrounds your words. You might wonder if it is your choice of words or your tone that is creating or adding to this confusion.

Be sure that those listening know the true essence of your thoughts.

Tonight: At a favorite place with favorite people.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You wish you could verbalize some of your thoughts and ideas. You understand the importance of using the right words and not hurting anyone else’s feelings. Since you might not be sure of your message, it probably is best to say little for now.

Tonight: Be unusually quiet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Use caution with your funds. You might not be as careful with your budget as you probably need to be. You do not want to suɈer a loss or miscount your change. In the present moment, brainstorm all you want, but do not make any Ă„nal decisions just yet. Tonight: Follow the music.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might not be aware of a family secret or that a roommate could be withholding some information from you. You sense a lack of focus at your home, but you might not be sure what is going on. Don’t pressure others; just do your thing.

Tonight: Out on the town with loved ones.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your hunches seem to be right on.

If you’re playing bridge or another card game, you could be unusually lucky because of your sixth sense.

Use your intuition well, but do not rely on it too heavily; otherwise, it could cause you a problem. Tonight: Hang out where there is music.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be surprised to learn how much fate can aɈect your Ă„nances.

Try to use good sense when out and about. If you are 100 percent sure of what you need to do, talk to someone who frequently plays devil’s advocate. Tonight: Let out the wild thing within you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might choose not to share everything that you are feeling and seeing. On some level, there is a surreal quality to your thoughts; it makes sense to you, but not to others. If you’re unusually talented or artistic, embrace these traits.

Tonight: Paint the town red with friends.

Kirby

continued from page 1

school year, Kirby served as Dadeville Elementaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistant principal under Dr. Chris Dark. Prior to that, he taught high school math in Carroll County, Georgia, was an assistant principal in Heard County, Georgia and was elected to serve as the superintendent of the Randolph County School System.

After being defeated for re-election to the superintendentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post, Kirby decided he was ready to get back into administration at the individual school level. Being selective where he chose to apply, he found his way to Dadeville to serve under Dark for a year before being handed the reins. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really appreciate the opportunity to get to serve as the principal here,â&#x20AC;? Kirby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel very blessed and fortunate. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to take the trust the Tallapoosa County Board of Education put in me lightly.â&#x20AC;?

The Leader in Me program, which builds off of Stephen Coveyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book â&#x20AC;&#x153;The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,â&#x20AC;? focuses on building up everybody involved, developing the whole person instead of focusing solely on one or two aspects. Kirby said this program is not just for students, but is a valuable program for teachers as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By improving all of these relationships, we can improve the school as a whole,â&#x20AC;? Kirby said.

While Kirby does have a vision for the future of Dadeville Elementary School, including improving the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overall culture and experience, there is one thing every facet of his vision is tied to. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It all goes back to The Leader in Me program,â&#x20AC;? Kirby said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone is responding well to the new life of The Leader in Me. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about this, and if a principal is excited

Our teachers are feeling it, and our students are feeling it. Principals do have an effect on bringing a positive culture to their school.â&#x20AC;?

Something else Kirby wants to bring to the school is a sense of administrative stability, which he feels will help bring long-term change to the school. He feels the relationship he has fostered with his assistant principal is helping reach this goal, as he believes they complement each other very well.

One issue Kirby said he and his staff are working hard to overcome at Dadeville Elementary is how people sometimes perceive the school in a more negative light. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people dwell on the negative things,â&#x20AC;?

Coley was also part of the effort with C&J Tech.

He is pleased to have helped with things like youth sports with the walking track at the Cooper Recreation Center and at Radney Elementary School, while also helping the community with things like the computer lab at the Cooper Recreation Center.

Coley is on Tuesday’s ballot as a Democrat and faces Republican challenger Mark Lamborne.

Coley is also proud to see the county’s finances coming into shape with less debt.

If reelected, Coley would like to take part in a few things.

“I want to make it a priority to recruit higher paying jobs,” he said. “We have had flat wages for

“We need to figure out how to engage citizens. I see all of this activity on Facebook but how do we move it to face-to-face? Maybe we have monthly or quarterly meetings across the district. If residents have needs, we find a way to try and bring the resource to them.”

Some of the resources could be as simple as bringing agencies to the table to share what they have to offer.

“We have to improve the quality of life,” Coley said. “We do that by bringing in better jobs, higher paying jobs and try to take care of the needs of the citizens.”

Lamborne want to bring fresh ideas to the county commission. I also want to bring more transparency so people know what is going on.”

Lamborne believes a few small changes can go a long way on transparency.

“I can’t find maps showing district lines anywhere on the county’s website,” he said. “I had to go to the 911 office to find maps showing that.”

Lamborne is on Tuesday’s ballot as a Republican running for District 1 County Commissioner and is facing Democrat incumbent T.C. Coley.

If elected, would continue many of things Coley is already doing in District 1.

“I would continue to support things like the Cooper Recreation Center,” Lamborne said. “I would also keep supporting the Martin Luther King Celebration. These are big deals to the

community. They do not just affect you or me, they affect everybody.”

Lamborne also understands the district does not have much in the way of county roads to maintain but believes he can help in other ways too.

“I would like to see if we can pick another industry,” Lamborne said.

“Try to see if we can find a way to get more middle manger type jobs so we see a growth in wages.”

Running a local business, Lamborne has been involved in economic development trying to help the Lake Martin Economic Development Authority where he could.

Lamborne has nothing negative to say about Coley saying he has done a great job, but Lamborne would like to be elected.

“I want to bring new ideas to the commission,” he said.

Weekend Edition, November 3-4, 2018

LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

Why did the Lions trade Golden Tate?

I

know sometimes fans can get insane when their team makes a trade they don’t agree with.

In most cases, organizations have a decent reason for trading a player midseason, whether it be underperformance, getting a good deal or because of finances.

But fans don’t see all that; all they see is their team losing a potentially important player, and they’re bitter about it.

I get all that, but that’s really not the case here. The Detroit Lions had no business trading Golden Tate.

Tate has been the Lions’ best receiver since Calvin Johnson retired. He has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in three of his four seasons in Detroit, and he’s had at least 90 receptions in all four years there. Now you might think, “Well, maybe he’s not performing that well this year.”

But that’s not the case either. He’s on pace to reach — if not surpass — both 1,000 receiving yards and 90 catches this year. In seven games with the Lions, Tate has racked up 44 catches and more than 517 yards.

He’s also scored three touchdowns.

Also, according to ESPN.com, Tate is the No. 3 receiver in the league for yards-after-catch with 285. There’s no reason to say he’s underperforming; if anything, he’s overperforming, especially by Lions’ standards.

OK, so maybe let’s look at financial reasons and the deal the Lions got by trading Tate. Detroit traded Tate to the Philadelphia Eagles for a third-round draft pick.

Tate would’ve been a free agent at the end of this season, so it’s not unusual for teams to try to get rid of players who are expected to leave in free agency while they can still get something useful in return.

But is a third-round draft pick for Tate actually useful? Probably not. Because the NFL hands out compensatory draft picks for players lost in free agency, there’s a good chance a third rounder is exactly what the Lions would’ve gotten had Tate left — and he likely would’ve.

All right. So it’s not about performance and it’s not about money, so why else would the Lions trade Tate? Maybe he’s not a good team player; maybe he’s not a great influence in the locker room.

Wrong.

Golden Tate, for all intents and purposes, is a fan favorite in Detroit. He’s never been in trouble; he’s seemingly beloved by his teammates. Quarterback Matt Stafford and Tate clearly have chemistry — the two have connected for nearly 5,000 yards over the course of four and a half seasons. Stafford also emerged earlier this week saying he was not consulted about the trade, and although Stafford said he thinks the organization did what it thinks is best for the team, he didn’t seem overjoyed about the loss of his teammate and friend.

So, he’s not a bad guy; that’s not the answer. As a person who understands disgruntled fans, I wasn’t ready to give up just yet. I wanted to find a reason behind the madness.

I read a column on Detroit Free Press that defended the trade — somewhat, anyway. But the only reasons provided by the writer were basically Tate is old (30) and Kerryon Johnson and Kenny Golladay are the future for Detroit.

Oh, and the Lions usually pick well in the third round.

Basically, my conclusion is I’m not being a crazy fan. The Lions’ decision to trade Golden Tate makes no sense, and Detroit seems to have truly given up this season.

Horseshoe Bend’s 5-6-7-year-old team is 5-2 on the season and heading to the first round of the playoffs today.

‘TOP-TIER TEAM’ Horseshoe Bend youth squad headed to the playoffs

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

While Horseshoe Bend’s high school team didn’t have the best season to date, the future is bright for the Generals. Horseshoe Bend’s 5-6-7-year-old team is heading to the playoffs today after building up a 5-2 record to this point.

The Generals have outscored their last three opponents, 90-6, and have racked up more than 150 points this season. They travel to Woodland at 1:30 p.m. today for the first of three potential rounds of postseason action.

“Honestly, we’ve focused on really making a team become a team,” Horseshoe Bend youth coach Mitch Morgan said. “I want there to become a brotherhood between the kids. There are about 20 kids, and we don’t have any fussing or fighting; they are very disciplined.”

One thing that’s made Horseshoe Bend so successful this season is its sheer wealth of talent. Quarterback Aiden Keel has accounted for five rushing touchdowns and one through the air. Camden Trapp leads the rushing game with 12 touchdowns, while Parker White follows closely behind with 10.

After coming back from a broken elbow, Jase Jones has also scored four rushing touchdowns, and Reyn

Horseshoe Bend will play Woodland today at 1:30 p.m. in the first of three potential rounds of playoffs.

Lovelady leads the defense with 12 sacks.

“That’s where it all boils down to — we have become a team,” Morgan said. “We’re not depending on one person.

That’s the problem with a lot of teams. They have only one person that can actually move the ball downfield.

When you do that, you limit yourself to have one specialty.

If something happens — and these kids are 5, 6 and 7, so they could get sick or get hurt — it makes it hard on a team.

For us, it’s all about unity for our team.”

Morgan said he’s also not afraid to put his players up against some tougher competition; he said the team has scrimmaged against older age groups and even earned victories.

“We have a lot of kids that really don’t fear anything,” Morgan said. “We practice against the big boys every day so when they do go on the field, it’s something they won’t have to worry about. A lot of it comes down to the parents, too. We have a lot of parents that put forth a lot of effort, as well as my coaching staff too.”

Morgan is hoping with these kids having a taste of success early on, they’ll be more likely to stick with football so by the time they don the Generals’ jerseys for the high school team, they’ll be ready to turn the program around.

“I’ve coached this age group for three years, and we’re really just trying to build them up so when they get to high school, we have a top-tier team,” Morgan said. “I want this to be something that’ll stick with them for the rest of their lives.”

Tigers down Panthers to win rivalry matchup

By CALEB TURRENTINE Sports Writer

Kalvin Levett entered Friday night knowing his high school football career was about to end. However, Levett, Tallassee’s senior quarterback, did not let that stop him from having one of his best performances of the season.

Levett finished with 314 yards of offense and was responsible for four touchdowns in the Tigers’ 42-21 victory at Elmore County. It was Tallassee’s third consecutive win in the rivalry as Levett and the Tiger senior class finished undefeated against the Panthers at the varsity level.

“The inevitable was here so the absolute best way to finish the season was to come out here and beat our

crosstown rival and our kids played hard,” Tallassee coach Mike Battles said. “I couldn’t have asked for more and I couldn’t be happier for them.”

Tallassee (6-4) quickly jumped ahead when Levett connected with Matt Justiss for a 52-yard touchdown pass on the game’s opening drive.

“They came out to play football,” Elmore County coach Jordan Cantrell said. “We were a little shell-shocked.

Offensively, we couldn’t get going and it put our defense in bad spots.”

The Panthers (6-4) failed to gain a first down in the opening half, finishing the first two quarters with just 4 yards of offense. Tallassee made them pay when Jacob Webster blocked a punt and Jake Justiss fell on the ball in See TALLASSEE • Page 3

the end zone to give the Tigers a 13-0 lead.

Jake Justiss followed his touchdown by recovering a fumble on the ensuing kickoff. Tallassee needed to go just 31 yards before Levett scored on a 5-yard touchdown run, giving the Tigers a three-score lead with 3:19 to go in the opening quarter.

“When he’s rolling, we’re rolling,” Battles said of Levett. “So, I’m happy for him and I’m happy for all of the seniors.”

The Tigers found the end zone one final time in the first half after a six-play, 46-yard drive. It was Levett finishing it off once again, scoring on a 15-yard touchdown run. The 2-point conversion by Trent Cochran-Gill put the Tigers up 27-0 at halftime.

“We got rolling on them early on and even though they didn’t quit, they just couldn’t recover,” Battles said.

The Panthers brought the fight in the second half as running back DJ Patrick picked up the team’s first first down on the opening play. Patrick rushed for 61 yards on the drive before scoring on a 6-yard run to cut into Tallassee’s lead.

“Coach gave us a good little pep talk about pride,” Patrick said. “I needed to know that 10 years from now that on my senior night, I never quit so that’s what I did.”

Tallassee extended the lead on a touchdown run by Tavarious Griffin but Patrick didn’t give up. On the next offensive snap, Patrick rushed around the right edge and sprinted down the sideline before breaking through tacklers for a 66-yard touchdown run.

“Our offensive line did a lot better in the second half and we just played better as a team,” Cantrell said. “Then DJ just said he was going to take it on his shoulders.”

After a failed onside kick by Elmore County, the Tigers put the nail in the coffin. With Griffin lined up at quarterback, Levett returned to his old position of wide receiver. A jump ball in the end zone found its way into

Levett’s hands for a 20-yard touchdown.

“It brought back a lot of memories,” Levett said. “I just had to pull through for my team. We knew Eclectic would keep fighting until the end so that’s what we did.”

Even with the game out of reach, Patrick kept pushing for more. His 21-yard touchdown run was the final

score of the game. Patrick finished with 160 rushing yards and scored all three Panther touchdowns.

“This has meant the world to me,” Patrick said. “There’s nothing like being an Elmore County Panther. I know it didn’t end the way we wanted it to but I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else in the world right now.”

Even though both teams fell short

of their postseason goal, it was fitting for Levett and Patrick to exchange big plays during their final night on the field. The two combined for 42 of the 63 points scored Friday night.

“It’s good competition; that’s what we play for,” Levett said. “He’s a great athlete. I love watching him play and I love going up against him. He’s just a phenomenal athlete.”

DEFENSE RULES

Benjamin Russell nearly shuts out Valley in regular season finale

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

D

efense was the name of the game for Benjamin Russell’s football team on Friday night. The defensive line especially was flying all over the place, putting endless pressure on Valley’s quarterback and allowing very few runs of 10 yards or longer.

The effort nearly resulted in a shutout as the Wildcats defeated the Rams, 14-2, to close out the regular season. The only Valley score was a late safety when a bad snap went over the head of Benjamin Russell’s punter, and he fell on it in the end zone. “(The defense) played really well,” BRHS

coach Kevin Smith said. “They’ve had a good week all week, and that’s what we can do when they come out and play. If they play like that next week, we got a shot.”

Benjamin Russell will face off in the first round against Spanish Fort, the winner out of Class 6A Region. The Toros (9-1) defeated Saraland, 28-16.

“This was a great win for us because it takes us into next week with some momentum,” Smith said. “We have some things we have to iron out. I do believe we’re in a really strong region, so I think our region has helped us. We just gotta do a better job executing on offense and continue the momentum we’ve got on defense.”

BRHS While the Wildcat offense did struggle a bit Friday night against Valley (5-5), the defense had no problems.

Valley finished with 12 negative plays and countless plays that went for no yardage. Marquel Jackson led the way with three sacks and two tackles for a loss, while Pokey Norris and Deshaun Gonzalez also had two sacks apiece. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just practiced a lot,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were doing things over and over with (defensive line) coach (Wes) Tate, so it just became routine. (The bye week) helped a lot of us because we got a lot of rest and not a lot of people were on the defense so we were really energized.â&#x20AC;?

Right out of the gate, Benjamin Russell (6-4) forced the Rams into a three and out, but Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense responded with an interception. But once again, the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense held strong with another three and out.

Then it was like a broken record, as the offense coughed up the ball again but BRHSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense quickly got Valley off the field by forcing yet another punt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just try to encourage the offense to do better,â&#x20AC;? Jackson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go out there and try to get three and outs so they can go out there and score another touchdown.â&#x20AC;?

Benjamin Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offense finally got it together, but it was thanks in large part to a pick from Gavin Edwards. Early in the fourth quarter, Edwards picked off Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quarterback and ran it back to midfield. BRHS got inside enemy territory on a Za Stowes carry and an offside call against the Rams before the Wildcats finally found the end zone. Wildcat quarterback Landon Cotney tucked inside the pocket, ran around left end and motored in for the 36-yard score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was really good to see Landon pull the ball and take off like that,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been telling him all year, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I think I trust your legs more than you do.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; But when he does, he looks good.â&#x20AC;?

the night immediately following, but although Benjamin Russellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defense bent, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t break. The Rams got to the BRHS 34 before Jackson came up with a big sack, and Valley couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do much else before electing to punt again.

BRHS went into the locker room with a 7-0 lead, and the offense looked its best on the first drive of the second half, as the Wildcats started to methodi-

cally move the ball downfield. A sixand-a-half-minute drive was capped off by a 17-yard touchdown from Landon Cotney to Jaikobee Gamble, who kept his feet neatly tucked in bounds to ensure the score. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was a conscious thing with the coaches (in the second half),â&#x20AC;?

Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We quit with the (runpass option) reliefs and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

just make ourselves move the ball downfield,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; and it worked better. We were ablet o get in the bone when we got that first down, and we decided to just stay in it and get physical. You just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stay in it too long because you get guys going both ways.

Wildcats tear into Gators in postseason return

By GRIFFIN PRITCHARD For Tallapoosa Publishers

E

dgewood Academy’s return to the postseason after a three-year hiatus left the visiting Clarke Prep Gators with a serious case of lockjaw. Playing in front of the 2008 state championship team, the Wildcats physically dominated en route to a 42-0 first round victory. The win advances Edgewood (8-3) to a Round 2 showdown with defending Class AA champion Escambia Academy (9-2).

“I thought [we] came out tonight and handled business,” Wildcat coach Darryl Free said. “We established the line of scrimmage and played well on both sides

of the ball. It was a good win for us.”

The Wildcats lit up the Storrs Field scoreboard early and often during the first 24:00 then bowed their necks with younger players in the second half to keep Clarke Prep (4-8) from scoring.

Kolby Potts (89 yards rushing on the night) got his name called first for a defensive stop, intercepting an Reece Powell pass inside the Edgewood 20 and returning it across the 30. The first three Wildcat snaps were handoffs to Potts for gains of 4, 17 and 11, gaining two first downs in the process and moving the ball into Clarke Prep territory.

“We came out and we did what we’ve been practicing all week,” Potts said. “I think we executed it pretty good.”

Edgewood The fourth snap went straight to the end zone as quarterback Alex Johnson handed off to Tyler Abernathy on a 30-yard touchdown sprint. Abernathy ran through the heart of the Gator defense virtually untouched for the score. “[Potts and Abernathy] have been part of what makes our engine run all year long,” Free said. “Tonight was no different. We relied on them heavily and they produced.”

Robert Stewart added the point after the Wildcats jumped out to a 7-0 lead.

It doubled on the hometown team’s next possession. Potts did most of the heavy lifting again, helping Edgewood into Clarke Prep territory. Johnson then hooked up with Jackson Welch for a 24-yard pass into the red zone, setting up Potts’ first touchdown run of the night and a 14-0 lead.

Edgewood racked up 453 yards of offense and held Clarke Prep to 8 yards rushing (136 yards passing), and it virtually ended the game in the second quarter with a trio of touchdowns.

Johnson fired a strike to Welch, who tight-roped his way into the end zone to put Edgewood ahead 21-0.

“It’s been really fun tonight,” Johnson said. “It was business tonight. I grew up this season knowing that I had to take care of business. My line did great and my wide receiver ran great routes and my running backs, they did good too.”

Kaleb Varner (2 receptions for 46 yards) ended a string of incomplete Powell passes by intercepting the Clarke Prep quarterback at the Edgewood 40.

His pick gave the Wildcats possession and another path to the end zone.

Going to the air, the sophomore Edgewood signal-caller dialed up a 26-yard pass to Potts and a 14-yard pass to Kam Burleson. Burleson was tackled at the 1-yard line, setting up a short Potts touchdown run.

“I love them,” Potts said of the Edgewood offensive line. “I couldn’t do what I do without them. I think they are the best offensive line I’ve ever had.”

ground game that acquired 278 yards.

With 51 ticks left in the half, the Wildcats went back to work on offense.

Johnson (175 yards passing on an 8-for10 night) completed a 16-yard pass to Varner then a 31-yard pass to Welch before ending the drive with a 13-yard pass to Abernathy. Johnson found a hole in the Gators defense and used the short Abernathy-ran route to exploit it for the score. Edgewood carried a 35-0 lead into the locker room.

“We rely on a lot of guys (on

defense) to make plays in the open field and they did just that,” Free said. “They played lights-out football.”

The Gators started the second half off on the wrong foot when the kicker missed the ball causing it to roll off the tee and Edgewood recovered.

Johnson hit Varner on a crossing route for 28 yards then gave the ball to Abernathy on a 12-yard touchdown run.

Smith added the point after to bring the game to the final mark of 42-0.

At this point, the jerseys began to become a little bit cleaner as the Wildcats started cycling some of the

younger guys onto the field.

“You avoid injury, because [as a younger player] you are one snap away from becoming a starter,” said Free.

“Every rep for these younger kids is valuable. They played and executed pretty well. They are always one hit away from getting in the game, so this was a very valuable experience for them.”

Blane Guthrie, Tanner Potts and KJ Hollenquest each had their opportunity to carry the ball in the second half against various iterations of the Gators defensive depth chart.

Prattville Christian 47, Horseshoe Bend 0

Horseshoe Bend’s season ends with shutout loss

By MELISSA REYNOLDS For Tallapoosa Publishers

Prattville Christian (3-6) looked to defend its home turf Friday night against the Horseshoe Bend Generals (2-7), but the Panthers came out on top, 47-0.

“It was a hard game for our seniors, but I am proud of them and our other players,” Horseshoe Bend coach Josh Averett.

Prattville Christian coach John Fussell said, “Our team has been struggling with a low roster like Horseshoe Bend. I think it will be a close game.”

A close game was not the case as the Panthers defeated Horseshoe Bend in convincing fashion.

The night started out cold and dry in the first quarter as the Generals kicked off to Prattville Christian with the Panthers returning the ball to their own 40-yard line. PCA stunned Horseshoe Bend with a down-the-field advance ending with Sterling Berry running in for a 6-yard touchdown and Preston Cox punting for a successful field goal.

Horseshoe Bend came out for its first possession of the quarter only to fail at advancing down the field and punting to the Panthers. Prattville Christian was ready to take hold of the ball after taking the Horseshoe Bend kick, passing it for a quick touchdown and good extra point.

With Horseshoe Bend struggling throughout the first quarter with every offensive possession, it resulted in a no-go for points to be put on the board on its behalf.

Prattville Christian began the second quarter with a Cox touchdown and successful point after bringing the score to 21-0.

Horseshoe Bend’s Holt Tidwell attempted to strike up an offensive playbook attack only to be stopped once again. Prattville in turn got the ball while pushing down the field, but the

General defense caused a fumble.

Horseshoe Bend’s Jumall Buchanan then got the opportunity for a long run to the Prattville 30-yard line. Horseshoe Bend’s dazzle left quickly with a fumble recovery by PCA on the next play.

It was again clear the Horseshoe Bend defensive attack was working hard, as well as its offensive line, but it just was not enough to hold off the Panthers.

The second half started with Prattville kicking off to Horseshoe Bend. Tidwell came out carrying his team to its own 36-yard line but hopes were dashed

quickly with a fumble on the next play giving Prattville Christian the ball. The Panthers were ready though, advancing the ball quickly down the field for a Cox touchdown and field goal.

The third quarter was filled with punts and failed offensive and defensive attempts for Horseshoe Bend. Prattville Christian executed another long run before the end of the third quarter by Cox, and a 2-yard rushing run by Berry for a touchdown and a good extra point closed out the frame.

The final quarter of the game started with Horseshoe Bend having possession

of the ball. Tidwell advanced his team to a first down to the Prattville Christian 25-yard line. The Generals then turned possession over on downs to Prattville Christian to start it out on its own 20-yard line.

Horseshoe Bend’s defense was not ready to give up its game causing an instant Prattville Christian fumble.

Horseshoe Bend took possession on its own 20-yard line in the next play, but the Generals also fumbled the ball, resulting in a PCA. The Panthers tacked on one more touchdown before the game’s final whistle.

Holtville manhandles Marbury, 70-6

H

aving secured its first playoff berth in nearly a decade, the Holtville Bulldogs came out looking like a team on a mission Friday night, completely crushing the Marbury Bulldogs, 70-6, on Senior Night to wrap up the regular season and setting a new school record for the most points scored in a single game.

“I feel like they came out and played all out,” Holtville coach Jason Franklin said. “We probably played the most complete game that we’ve played all year. That’s probably a great thing coming in to this point of the season, to be playing your best football.

Our coaching staff did a great job of preparing everybody this week, and our guys executed the game plan extremely well. I’m just proud of their effort and being the change we’ve been talking about.”

“... Our guys executed the game plan extremely well.

I’m just proud of their effort and being the change we’ve been talking about.”

— Jason Franklin Holtville coach Holtville (7-3) put its foot on the gas from the getgo and refused to let up. Holtville forced a Marbury (0-10) fumble on the very first play of the game,

then Braxton Buck found Dajon Reeves open for a 10-yard score three plays later. This marked the first of four touchdown passes Buck completed in the first quarter. He found Drew Nobles open from 15 yards out, JaDarius Carter on a 47-yard throw and Reeves again from the Marbury 10-yard line with less than a minute left in the opening frame.

Marbury scored its only points of the game when Richard Powell nailed a wide-open Juan Sifuentenz for a 78-yard score on a reverse option pass. Marbury was flagged for a false start on the PAT and, with the two-point conversion falling short, the visiting Bulldogs had managed to narrow the lead to 28-6.

This was as close as Marbury came, however, as Holtville’s offense answered right back. Aided by a penalty when JaDerrick Carter was tackled late and out of bounds, Holtville needed only five plays to find paydirt again when Carter pounded the ball in from 24 yards out.

Holtville Not content to sit back on its two first-quarter fumbles, Holtville’s defense forced an early end to each of the final three Marbury drives of the first half.

Slade Freeman recorded a pick-six, then Michael Forney scooped and scored on a fumble. Michael Watson had an interception of his own, dragging a handful of Marbury players with him before finally going down at midfield.

This pick set up Holtville’s final scoring drive of the first half when Buck hit Payton Cobrun from the Marbury 32-yard line as time expired, giving Holtville a 63-6 halftime advantage.

Holtville continued to show its teeth in the second half, despite liberally subbing in younger players to give the starters some rest for the playoffs and give the backups some valuable playing time. After Dylan Bearden was tackled for a loss on the first play of the third quarter, Jarbarious Jackson broke free from the Marbury defense and scampered 74 yards to the house, setting up the final score of the game.

“It’s important to get guys a lot of reps, as many times as we can get them reps,” Franklin said. “We get guys practicing hard; we want to get them reps in situations where they can have a positive outcome. I thought in that situation, we could have a positive outcome, and they were able to score there with our JV team, and our defense was able to go out with backups and play at a high level too, so I’m proud of them.”

The rest of the final two quarters were fairly uneventful, with both defenses locking down and the teams exchanging punts, while Marbury’s defense also forced a fumble early in the final frame, the only turnover Holtville gave away the entire night. At the same time, the second-string defense for Holtville did manage to record six tackles for losses in the second half, showing off their capabilities and potential for the future.

As Holtville prepares to travel to Montgomery Catholic for the first round of the Class 4A playoffs, Franklin said there is an air of positivity around the locker room as the Bulldogs prepare for their first playoff game since 2010.

While there are some negative things Franklin said he wanted to have his team work on correcting, he felt there were also many good things to take away from Friday night to focus on moving forward.

“Any time you can get a win going into the playoffs, it’s a positive, especially in a rivalry game that it was,” Franklin said. “Our defense was able to I think execute 28 points there, so that’s always a positive when they can go out there and score points too.

“We get another extra week to improve and just keep working hard, and that’s all we can ask of our guys.

Just keep working hard and keep improving every week, and good things will happen.”

Stanhope Elmore 33, Greenville 9

UPSET ALERT Mustangs knock off Greenville in convincing fashion

By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor

G

ame planning was key for Stanhope Elmore as it faced off against Class 5A’s No. 6 team Greenville on Thursday night.

With big bodies and aggressive players in the middle of Greenville’s defense, the Mustangs knew pounding the ball down the Tigers’ throat wasn’t going to be an option. But SEHS found a way around that, playing to its passing strength. That was the recipe for success, as Stanhope took off in the second half and downed the Tigers, 33-9.

“Greenville is really good; they are really good in the front,” Stanhope coach Brian Bradford said. “They have two linebackers who are just as good as we’ve ever seen. They do an outstanding

job and they shut us down, so we had to go with what we knew we had an advantage on in the passing game. We tried to exploit that, and we knew that going in that it was going to be a tough game in the middle.”

It looked to be a defensive battle early on, as both teams struggled with penalties and effectively moving the ball.

Stanhope (6-4) held just a 13-9 edge at the break, but that small deficit didn’t last long for Greenville (8-2).

Right out of the second-half gate, the Mustangs handed the ball off to Teddy Harris, who quickly got the perimeter and ran the 46-yard distance for a touchdown. On just the first play from scrimmage in the second half, Stanhope had built up a 20-9 lead.

The Mustang defense then went to work, forcing Greenville to punt on its See STANHOPE • Page 14

Stanhope next two drives. On what was Stanhope’s best defensive series of the night, the Tigers were forced into a fourth-and-27 situation and pinned deep in their own territory. “(Our defense) is just outstanding,” Bradford said. “They play relentless football every time. Every week, they’re the anchor for our football team and every week they do a great job.”

That strong defensive stand helped the Stanhope offense, as it recharged

right around midfield on the next drive.

A 24-yard pass from Kerenski McGhee to Blake Durham set the Mustangs up inside the red zone, and McGhee delivered on a 6-yard rushing score to take a convincing lead late in the third quarter.

McGhee finished with a pair of rushing touchdowns and also threw a 75-yard bomb to Durham for a score.

Because Stanhope built up such a big lead — it was ahead 33-9 less than a minute into the fourth quarter — the

Mustangs got a chance to play some of their younger players, helping to create some depth heading into the postseason.

“Greenville is an outstanding football team,” Bradford said. “They were (No. 6) in 5A, so for us to be able to get some of those guys into a game like this, last game of the season right before playoffs, it’s always big.”

Greenville was hindered by a slew of penalties; the Tigers were flagged 19

times for a total of 148 yards.

Stanhope will face off against either Saraland or Spanish Fort in the first round of the playoffs, and regardless of next week’s opponents, Bradford thinks the victory over Greenville is a great stepping stone for Stanhope Elmore moving forward.

“Absolutely,” he said. “Any time you can win like this against a great team always gives you motivation going into playoffs.”

Coosa wraps up season with another loss, hopes to ‘work harder’ for next season

By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer

T

he last seconds of the season ticked off a running clock in Talladega County as the Cougars of Central Coosa lost to Talladega County Central, 40-6.

Coosa coach Brett Thomas hopes his team learned a little about the commitment football takes.

“We have to work harder,” Thomas said. “ It is a must they come out in the spring and summer.

You are behind the whole year when you don’t show for conditioning and summer practice.”

Mistakes were the order of the night for Coosa (0-10) turning the

opening possession over on downs giving the Tigers (4-6) an easy chance at a 30-yard touchdown toss

by Jafrondric Davis to Lachaunt Prince. The two-point conversion for the Tigers was no good. Then the Cougars fumbled the exchange at center on the very next drive giving up the ball at midfield.

The Cougar defense couldn’t stop the Tigers on their second drive, allowing Devin Dates a 10-yard scamper into the end zone.

The only bright spot of the night was again Donta Daniel, who carried the Cougars. He rushed the ball 52 yards on 10 attempts as the quarterback while completing three passes for 30 yards.

Daniel managed to score Coosa’s only touchdown of the night. In the See COOSA • Page 16

second quarter, Daniel caught a kickoff at the Cougars 18-yard line. First he cut left, but by midfield he had cut back right against the Tiger coverage team.

Reaching the Cougar sideline, Daniel cut it up the sideline for the 82-yard score. The two-point try failed to convert and the Cougars were still down 20-6.

After Daniel’s kickoff return, things only went downhill as the Cougars allowed Dates to return the ensuing kickoff 70 yards for the score.

The Cougars went to the locker room down 26-6.

Coming out for the second half, the Cougars again allowed another Tiger to

score on the opening kickoff as Prince mustered a 75-yard return.

Daniel and the Cougars couldn’t do anything but go backwards on the next drive. Going three plays and unable to make the first down, Thomas elected to punt only for the snap to go over the punter’s head allowing Talladega County Central to recover the ball at the 1-yard line.

The next play, the Tigers’ Cameron Swain scored the last touchdown of the game easily and the two-point conversion was good.

Central Coosa’s JaMichael Chambliss hauled in two of Daniel’s passes in the second half for 22 yards.

Chambliss also picked up 6 yards running the ball four times.

The Cougars’ TD Parker donned the No. 55 to play in the line but also contributed from Central Coosa’s backfield, picking up 17 yards on four carries.

Thursday’s game in Talladega County was much like the rest of the season for the Cougars.

“The thing of it is for the most part we are out-skilled,” Thomas said. “We need guys to come out and practice.”

Thomas is hopeful for next year.

“Donta is a junior,” he said.

“Hopefully he comes back and does not go anywhere else.”
