Holiday Open House is Sunday By DONALD CAMPBELL Staff Writer
Downtown area merchants will be giving local residents the chance to get some early holiday shopping done and enjoy time browsing the many different stores Sunday for the annual Holiday Open House event. The even will run from 1 until 4 p.m., with virtually every merchant in the downtown area taking part. “It allows us all the chance to get to come together as a community, and it really gets you in the Christmas spirit,” Main Street executive director Bre Smith said. “All the stores really enjoy this. People tell us they enjoy See HOLIDAY • Page 3

As the United States prepares to honor all of its veterans this Sunday on Veterans Day, Stephens Elementary held a special program Thursday morning to recognize some of the veterans at Bill Nichols State Veterans Home, as well as veterans who are also the parents of children at Stephens. The assembly included music from the SES Show Choir, special presentations from students and the presentation of the United States flag and the flag of Alabama by cadets from the Benjamin Russell Navy JROTC. During the program, the “Armed Forces Medley” was played and students held up signs with the insignia of each branch of the armed forces on them. As each branch’s anthem was played, the veterans of that branch who were in attendance were asked to stand and be recognized. Stephens students who are also scouts in See VETERANS • Page 5

DEAR ABBY: Ever since high school, our adult daughter has had mood swings. My wife and I thought she’d grow out of it as she matured, but she hasn’t. At her request we sent her to a university far away, and we were proud that she earned her bachelor’s degree. We thought independent living would do the trick, but her personality and behavior toward us didn’t change. She’s an only child, and we spoiled her -- bought her cars and paid for college. I asked her to try for scholarships to help us out, but she didn’t. She married and had two wonderful kids, but her mood swings persist. When I mentioned she see a counselor or therapist as a way to get some third-party advice and sort things out, she hit the ceiling and told me I was the one who needs therapy. Then she brought up my flaws and my past drinking problem. Granted, I have made mistakes, and I’m
DEAR ABBY Advice
not perfect, but I’ve learned and grown. After 10 years she divorced her husband. She got custody of the kids and the house. Her divorce cost us a great deal of money. Her authoritative and moody behavior is affecting our grandchildren. I love my daughter very much and always have. If you were in my shoes, Abby, what would you do for a more healthy and loving relationship for all involved? -- STILL HER DAD IN FLORIDA DEAR DAD: I would look back and examine all the things I did to foster her behavior. An example would be paying for her divorce. Then I would stop
doing them and not resume until she agreed to consult a psychotherapist about her mood swings. Don’t do it for her or for yourself. Do it for the sake of your grandchildren. DEAR ABBY: Before I met my boyfriend of eight months, I planned a 10-day Japan vacation for next year with my best guy friend, “J.” We have been friends for eight years, and have never had any romantic interest in each other. Both of us want to visit Japan because it’s on our bucket list. J and I were both single when we started making plans. Then I met my boyfriend. My boyfriend knew from the beginning that this trip was going to happen next year. Because the date wasn’t “set in stone” or paid for until recently, my boyfriend thinks I should have called it off. He says I’m making the trip and my friend a higher priority than him, and his feelings are hurt. He said if I was
going with a female friend he wouldn’t care. I still want to take the trip. I feel canceling would be betraying my friend J. Am I being a bad girlfriend? -- TRIPPED UP IN THE EAST DEAR TRIPPED UP: A “bad” girlfriend? No. An independent one, yes. You say your boyfriend has known about this from the beginning, so this wasn’t a surprise to him. If he was more secure about himself and your relationship, he would know that J isn’t a threat. Not only should you take the trip, you should also use the time away to decide if you want a life partner as insecure as your boyfriend appears to be.

Busy fall weekend is upon us
D
espite the few rainy days we’ve had this week, fall is here and the weather has been beautiful. It is cooling off and many of us are glad of that. The forecast currently shows we’re going to have some good weather this weekend, and there is a lot to do around Tallapoosa County this weekend. If you want to get out and about tonight, the McKameys will be performing at the Family Worship Center at 7 p.m. There are plenty of events going on Saturday as well, including a Daviston School and Community reunion beginning at 10 a.m. at the Daviston Community Center. If you want to have a day full of fun, you can get started at 6 a.m. with an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast at the Stewartville Volunteer Fire Department and West Coosa Senior Center. The event officially begins at 9 a.m. and lasts until 3 p.m. with arts, crafts, face painting, horse rides, a kids corner, silent auction, lots of food such as kettle corn and of course plenty of unique vendors. Author Cole Bruce will have a book signing from 1 to 4 p.m. at the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex park at the rest area next to the pond. Go out and meet him and get an autograph. Wrap up the day with some fish for dinner as Mt. Zion Baptist Church is hosting a fish fry at 6:30 p.m. Sunday is really going to be a day of fun as the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Holiday Open House from 1 to 4 p.m. Virtually every downtown merchant will be participating in the event. “It allows us all the chance to get to come together as a community, and it really gets you in the Christmas spirit,” Main Street executive director Bre Smith said. “All the stores really enjoy this. People tell us they enjoy walking around downtown on a Sunday afternoon and going in the stores. This is something we at Main Street look forward to every year. The attendance for Holiday Open House has been increasing every year.” There is also an illusionist/magician show at Bethel Baptist Church at 6:30 p.m. With all of these events in the area to enjoy, why not get out of the house and spend some time in the community having some fun? If you’re more of a homebody, make some hot chocolate and watch some Christmas movies in your pajamas. No matter what you do, spend some time enjoying yourself and have a happy fall weekend.
T
here is no doubt the fall of the year is one of the most beautiful seasons we have in Alabama. My wife rhapsodizes about all the beautiful leaves and how they have painted rainbows in the forest. I expect her to break out in Joyce Kilmer’s poem about a tree any minute now. To her all the trees in our yard are palettes of color God uses to paint nature. However, what I see are leaves that have to be raked. I suppose I ought to be as sensitive as my sweet wife about all these leaves, but the truth is I see blisters and a backache on the horizon. My yard is a leaf magnet for all the trees within a quarter of a mile of my house. It doesn’t make any difference which way the wind blows because it only blows in more leaves. I do believe I may have a place in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most leaves per square foot of any yard on the planet. Up north, those poor old Yankees have snow drifts against their cars and houses. Down here in the sunny South, I have leaf drifts up to my house’s windows and I can’t even find my dog anymore. All I can see are the leaves parting as he moves under them. It looks like a mole trail
GERALD HALLMARK Columnist through the yard when the dog moves around under all those leaves. So far he has bumped into the front porch steps, a telephone pole and two trees wandering around under there. At this point, I bet he would bite Joyce Kilmer if he showed up talking about nothing being as lovely as a tree. I bought a new leaf blower to deal with this problem. I got one of those big ole honking 220 mph jobs that straps to my back and picks me up off the ground if I aim it downward. That thing was so big it ran on diesel fuel and still it burned out. I guess it didn’t make a lot of difference anyway, because as fast as I blew leaves away they just blew back. In the midst of this leaf crisis, my sweet wife continues her praise for the fall foliage. After watching Hallmark Home and Family make decorations out of dried leaves, she went through every leaf pile I had raked up looking for just the right leaves. Now they’re scattered from canto-can’t and I have to start
over. They should have dropped this show when it started and I wouldn’t have to rake again. Every season brings its own special characteristics whether it is leaves, snow, blooms or heat. Life has seasons as well and each of those seasons brings with them defining characteristics. Each part of our life is interpreted through these particular distinctions and, like the leaves of autumn, they may overwhelm us. Each facet of our life brings new challenges. Our maturity comes in how we handle these tests. We must understand what happens to us is not as important as how we react to it. We can’t control every external thing that confronts us, but we can be in control of our reaction. A true Christian maintains a Christlike attitude in all circumstances of life, regardless of what the season brings. Well, I guess I had better get out there and start raking leaves. My wife has told me my reaction to all these leaves is going to be positive, uplifting and happy. OK, I’ll do my best, but to tell you the truth, I’d just settle for digging my dog out before winter.

As the administrator of a rural hospital in Alabama, I understand not only the important and unique role our hospital plays in our community, but also the challenges all hospitals face every day in rural Alabama. With nearly 50 percent of Alabamians living in rural areas, providing healthcare at the right place and at the right time saves lives. But in addition to providing great care, rural hospitals contribute greatly to the local economy. Today we celebrate National Rural Health Day and, as we do, let’s remember the important role our rural facilities play in the healthcare and economic infrastructure of our state. Alabama has 52 rural hospitals, six less than it had in 2011. Our facilities are facing tremendous financial challenges and more are at risk of closure. In fact, the
latest information available reveals 88 percent of rural hospitals are operating in the red. Many of these challenges can be contributed to the high percentage of uninsured patients we treat every year. Alabama has an opportunity to provide an estimated 300,000 adults with health insurance coverage, reversing the negative impact of uncompensated care. That opportunity is Medicaid expansion. And in addition to the number of newly insured adults, it’s anticipated that expanding Medicaid would create almost 30,000 new jobs and create billions of dollars in economic activity statewide. Medicaid expansion will benefit all of Alabama’s communities, both rural and urban, not only by providing much needed care, but by supporting the critical healthcare infrastructure. Hospitals are one of the largest — if not the largest — employers in many rural parts of Alabama. More than 11,000
people are directly employed by rural hospitals. Statewide, that number increases to nearly 90,000. These jobs generate additional tax revenue and sales revenue, while supporting employment in other industries. These are good jobs, jobs that ensure good healthcare is available in our communities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Rural hospitals are a critical factor in recruiting other business and industry to an area, equal to that of having a good education system and well-maintained roads and bridges. They are a vital part of the local infrastructure. So, as we celebrate National Rural Health Day, let’s encourage our state’s lawmakers to invest in rural hospitals by expanding Medicaid. The stakes are too high to wait any longer. Joseph Marchant, CEO Bibb Medical Center and chairman of the Alabama Hospital Association Rural Constituency Section

Olivia Miller read a short speech, “What Veterans Day Means to Me,” while Laura Jones, Jake Baker, Myles Ruffin, Claire Yearkey, Alisa Wyckoff, Georgia Dennis and Marlee Edwards shared what each letter in the word “Freedom” stands for and the SES Show Choir led those in attendance in “America the Beautiful” and “You’re a Grand Old Flag.”
Following the retiring of the colors by the JROTC cadets, principal Dr. Mary Holloway and assistant principal Jon Owens took a moment and thanked those in attendance, while also sharing a few words on what the holiday means to them. “I have one son who’s in the Air Force and is stationed in Germany, and I have a son who’s in the Army and is stationed in Georgia,” Holloway said. Owens said he often thinks of his father and uncles on Veterans

Day. He said his father grew up in a family of 13 children, 12 of which were boys and nine of whom went on to serve in the armed forces during World War II, Korea and Vietnam. With so many other Veterans Day celebrations taking place in Alexander City and throughout Tallapoosa County over the weekend, Thursday morning’s assembly at Stephens was a touching and memorable way to celebrate Veterans Day and remember what the holiday is truly about.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Listen to the chatter around you and pay attention to the conversations of those in the know. If you are making an important decision, you might want to tap into these conversations and/or ask questions. An admirer has eyes only for you. Tonight: Join a loved one for dinner. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) One-on-one relating elicits answers and some support. You also Änd out how trustworthy those around you might be. You do not have to always agree with their ideas, but it will beneÄt you to have options. In fact, you gain from the difference in perspective. Tonight: Dinner out. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Defer to others for now. You are likely to seek out more information and facts. Recognize how those around you interpret your words. Remember, others might look at a situation differently from how you are seeing it. Tonight: Hang out at home with a favorite person. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Refuse to get involved in an avid discussion between two people who obviously have a strong tie. You could be sorry if you get caught in the crossÄre. Focus on getting done what you need. You might want to buy a token of affection for a child. Tonight: ConÄrm plans! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be overwhelmed by everything you need to do. Stay on top of a project that seems to keep getting out of control. Maintain your sense of humor, as you could be overwhelmed by what is happening around you. Know that you are not alone. Tonight: TGIF with friends! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You defer to a family member -- not because you feel that he or she will make better choices than you, but because of his or her dependability. Try not to critique this person’s decisions. The more support you give this person, the better the outcome. Tonight: Close to home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Speak your mind, and be clear about what you want. Others might be very goal-oriented in terms of their plans and direction. Talk with several people to get important feedback. You will need to make sure that what you are hearing is factual. Tonight: Among the crowds. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Many people associate you with the ability to live the good life and go way overboard. You also have a powerful will. You might be juggling these facets of your personality at the moment. Meet up with a loved one and catch a movie together. Tonight: Time for some fun. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Investigate various ideas, but trust your gut. You will know what to do and when. Note the Ă…ock of admirers or friends that surround you. Take the lead if you feel strongly about any key issues. Know that others will follow your lead. Tonight: Carry your positivity into the weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might choose to say little right now. Something or someone could be dragging you down. Try to relax. Have more faith and remain conĂ„dent, and, as a result, that conĂ„dence will be contagious. Those around you enjoy being in your presence. Tonight: Make it an early night. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are likely to meet a personal goal or wrap up an important project or meeting. A celebration might be in order. Invite some friends to join you in the near future. You might Ă„nd that a lighthearted champagne toast puts a big smile on your face. Tonight: Play the night away. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be more in the line of Ă„re than you would like. As a result, a boss, parent or someone you must answer to could ask you to do various errands or to complete a project for him or her. You can say “no,â€? but consider the ramiĂ„cations Ă„rst. Tonight: Till the wee hours.

Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve Got You Covered
STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Nearly a dozen teachers throughout the Alexander City School System will be able to obtain valuable resources after having been awarded educator grants through the Alexander City Schools Education Foundation. The ACSEF recently named 11 teachers as the recipients of grants totaling $9,969.99 In a prepared statement, ACSEF Executive Director Karen Jennings said this was the third year the foundation awarded grants to teachers throughout the city school system. Teachers can apply between Sept. 1 and Oct. 15, detailing the classroom need, how many students the grant will impact and how much the teacher would like. After the application window closes, a committee meets to review each grant application and make a determination on the amounts to be awarded. This year, grants were awarded to Travis Adams, Abby Alexander, Monica Anderson, Vanessa Brooks, Karen Courtney, Debra Griffith, Jane Hayes, Mary Elizabeth Knight, Jerrie Mattox, Emily Sassano and Doug Ward. These awarded grants will go towards music and art programs, math and science classrooms and English and language arts classes. The committee awarding the grants was comprised of co-chairs Leanne Calhoun and Laurie Sturdivant, Dedie Hendrix, Ellen Martin, Scott Riley and Tammy Wendling. The committee and local businesses and organizations that contributed funds to the foundation are all committed to furthering the ACSEFâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to promote excellence in education and mobilize community support for Alexander City Schools.â&#x20AC;?

ROAD TO STATE BEGINS NOW BRHS faces No. 2 Spanish Fort in first round By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
A lot of “what ifs” could have put Benjamin Russell in a very different position. What if the Wildcats didn’t give up back-to-back touchdowns to start the game against Wetumpka? What if Benjamin Russell had played in the first half like it did the second half against Opelika? What if BRHS didn’t turn the ball over six times and flounder offensively versus Stanhope Elmore? A few small things here or there go differently, and BRHS could be headed to the Charles E. Bailey Sportplex for the first round of the Class 6A playoffs. But the time for “what ifs” are over, and the Wildcats have accepted their fate. They are hitting the long road for Spanish Fort, which See WILDCATS • Page 12

Benjamin Russell’s Deshaun Gonzalez (14) and Hezekiah Hunter (23) converge on a Stanhope Elmore player earlier this season. Gonzalez and Hunter make up two of BRHS’ four starting linebackers.
Benjamin Russell’s new linebacking corps picks up right where last year’s left off By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
File / The Outlook
Benjamin Russell quarterback Landon Cotney (6) will be relied upon to get the offensive going tonight at Spanish Fort.
When graduating guys like Benjamin Hendrix and Jaden Tuck, or even Isaiah Holloway and Trey Gray, it was expected for Benjamin Russell’s stud defense to potentially take a step back this season. Everyone thought there was no way these newcomers could be as good as the ones who left. But the Wildcats have always prided themselves on having a threatening front seven, and they weren’t about to miss a bit this year. Enter the crew of inside linebackers Brett Pitts and Hezekiah Hunter and outside LBs Deshaun Gonzalez and Lane Rigby. Each one has his own personality and own story, but as a foursome, they have
become a solitary unit that has helped Benjamin Russell’s defense keep the Wildcats in games. “All of our starting linebackers are mature,” said Gonzalez, who was the only one of the four with a decent amount of starting experience last season and the only of the four who is a senior. “Once they’re told something, they get the feeling of it right away. That’s what I like about the (junior) class; they get it just like that.” Gonzalez subbed in time with Gray last season, but has come on strong this season. He was the Outlook Player of the Week two weeks ago, and he’s found a way to lead the group. “Gonzo may not have had a full year of starting, but he played a whole lot,” Smith said. “That’s a lot of games com-
ing back.” Alongside Gonzalez at outside linebacker is Rigby, who Smith said has been progressively getting better and better throughout the season. Rigby is in his first year starting at any position, and he’s starting to understand where he needs to be and what it takes to be a threatening linebacker. Rigby had some of the biggest shoes to fill, taking over Tuck’s position, but he took what he learned from the players before him as well as Gonzalez and ran with it. “Looking up to them and playing underneath them, we got to understand their play styles,” Rigby said. “We had a little bit of pressure to take on their leadership roles, but I feel like we’ve stepped in nicely to help keep the See LINEBACKERS • Page 12

Reeltown’s Johnny Brown looks for room to run against earlier this season. The Rebels may need to rely on some of their younger players tonight against Daleville.
Rebels host Daleville in playoff opener By LIZI ARBOGAST Sports Editor
Coming off a loss in its regular season finale, Reeltown’s football team has a bad taste in its mouth and it’s ready to come back with a vengeance. The Rebels ended the regular season
8-2 after a tough loss to Ranburne in Week 9, but now, they’re rebounding after a bye week and are ready to hit the playoff ground running. Reeltown, the winner of Region 4, plays host to Daleville, out of Region 2, in the first round See REBELS • Page 12

Linebackers defense running. “This is my first year starting in football period, so just working with everybody else and everybody giving me continuous support to get better and those who have been playing teaching me what I didn’t know has really helped. I just have to thank my team for that.” Smith said, “Lane is one of the hardest workers that we’ve had here. Nobody outworks him.” Pitts had a few games of starting under his belt, as he took over for Hendrix while he was injured last season, but Pitts had to not only learn the position but also had to become the expert of the defense as he took over Hendrix’s vocal leadership role. “It was difficult having to learn all the calls and stuff, and Ben did a really good job of it,” Pitts said. “So that was a little bit of pressure there living up to his standard. It started off a little rough at the beginning, but I’m getting better at making the calls and reading the offenses.” Pitts also was injured for most of the summer, so there was an adjustment period for him during fall camp but it’s hard to see that now with his play on the field. “Brett has a lot of the same characteristics of Ben, and they

play a lot of the same way,” Smith said. “Ben might have been a step faster, but Brett has some qualities where he sees the game so well. The game has really slowed down for him.” The newest linebacker is

was ranked No. 2 in the final Alabama Sports Writers Association poll in 6A. The only reason those “what ifs” matter now is because Benjamin Russell (6-4) knows it could’ve been in a much different boat. “If we go down there and we’re that team that showed up against Wetumpka on the good side,” Benjamin Russell coach Kevin Smith said, “and we put to bed whatever team that was that showed up to Stanhope and we play that second-half team against Opelika, bring anybody in there. We’ve just gotta be that team coming out of the game. Don’t give them the ball and come out early on the defense the way we’re capable. Forget the outcome; let’s go be successful each play and let it add up.” Obviously the Toros (9-1), who enter tonight’s game having won nine in a row, are the favorites over Benjamin Russell (6-4), which squeaked into the playoffs with a pair of region victories. But the good news for the Wildcats is they’ve faced some pretty formidable competition, and Smith doesn’t think Spanish Fort is leaps and bounds better than the likes of Opelika and Wetumpka. “It’s hard to throw the ball downfield on them,” Smith said. “But we’ve had success on numerous people getting the ball out quick. They do a good job, but they’re not any better than Opelika or Wetumpka. We’ve seen some really good teams this year.” Spanish Fort’s biggest offensive standout is Kris Abrams, who is the Toros’ go-to wide receiver but also plays at quarterback from time to time. Spanish Fort’s expected starting QB was injured early in the season, and Nick Passarelli took over the job. “They bring (Abrams) in when they feel like they need a spark as far as quarterback legs,” Smith said. “He’s not going to go play the full game, but he can throw it.” Smith also said while Spanish Fort’s offensive line isn’t overpowering in its size, it plays extremely well as a unit. “You’re not going to look and say there’s a bunch of Division I guys out there,” Smith said, “but boy, you can obviously see they play well together.” On the defensive side, Spanish Fort is much of the same. Like BRHS, the Toros boast a strong front seven. “There’s not just one that jumps out at you,” Smith said. “You just don’t see people gashing through the middle of their defense.” In the secondary, safety Michael Miller and cornerback Desmond James make it tough for teams to pass against the Toros. For Benjamin Russell’s part, the Wildcats’ front seven is going to require one of its best games of the year in hopes of keeping the high-flying Toros off the scoreboard, especially early. And BRHS will need to find some consistency offensively, whether that be establishing the run early or trying to spread things out for a few quick passes for Landon Cotney. But despite being the underdogs, the Wildcats are going into tonight’s game with a strong mentality; they just need that to translate onto the field. “I have been places over the years with teams that it felt like with a record compared to ours, they felt like, ‘We’re a No. 4 seed; we don’t really belong,’” Smith said. “But I don’t think our guys buy into that. They buy into the fact that we had some bad games against some teams we could’ve beaten, and we could actually be hosting. It’s our fault that we’re not, so let’s go do something about this.”

Hunter, who didn’t even play on defense last year. Hunter was the No. 2 to starting running back Davede Herron a year ago, and many thought he’d take over as the new starter this year. But that wasn’t the case.
“He could play pretty much any position on the field,” Smith said. “All we would have to do is coach him, and we could put him out at corner and he would play corner. You could move him back to safety if you wanted to. He could play
just about any position on the defensive side of the ball. We just put a really good athlete there.” Hunter’s defensive knowledge was extremely limited entering the season, having played on the offensive side of the ball for most of his career. And although he admittedly didn’t like being moved to the defense, Hunter was happy to do whatever the team needed from him. “It hasn’t been difficult really but at the beginning of the season, I didn’t really understand what to do,” Hunter said. “But now since we’ve played a lot of games, I understand we’re playing as a team, stopping teams from scoring and having fun, so I feel a lot different now. I like it a lot better now.” Hunter still plays in shortyardage situations on the offensive side, but he’s mostly needed for the linebacking corps. Although the linebackers have had some growing pains, they’ve certainly lived up to the expectations set before them. “They show up and what they’re doing now is they’re learning how to communicate,” Smith said. “They’re learning each other. They’re learning, ‘Oh, this is where this guy is going to be, so I need to fit here or I need to fit there.’”
Rebels

of the Class 2A playoffs on Friday. The Rebels, who finished the season No. 7 in the Alabama Sports Writers Association poll, are the obvious favorites to win, but Daleville (5-4) has come on strong as of late. After losing three of their first four games, the Warhawks finished the season on a high note, claiming four victories in their last five games, including a pair of wins to end the year. Like Reeltown, Daleville is also coming off a bye week. Daleville does boast a high octane offense which is averaging more than 29 points per game, but the defense has allowed 27.6 ppg, making for some high-scoring affairs for the Warhawks. Daleville posted just one shutout this year — a 52-0 victory over winless Barbour County in the regular season finale. It has faced only one ranked team, falling to Abbeville, 54-0, in early October. Abbeville was ranked just one spot higher than the Rebels in the final ASWA poll. Both Daleville and Reeltown are regular playoff contenders. The Warhawks have made a playoff appearance every year since 2014 but have advanced out of the first round just once since 2009. Reeltown, on the other hand, went to the second round last year and has not missed the playoffs since 2007.
File / The Outlook
Reeltown’s defense will need to be on point tonight against Daleville.
The biggest challenge facing the Rebels will be how to replace some of their injured crew. Both Lio Lewis and Eric Shaw were sidelined for the final week of the regular season, and there has been no update on their condition. But Reeltown will continue to rely on the 1-2 punch of Cameron Faison and Keke Hughley to lead the offense. “They have two good backs and a really good quarterback,” Daleville coach Trey Woolf told The Southeast Sun. “They really do
a little bit of everything. We have to prepare for two different styles, so we have our work cut out for us. There is no doubt about that.” It’ll also need to maintain its physicality, which has been a big advantage for the Rebels this season. “We just gotta get better in both phases of the game,” Reeltown coach Matt Johnson said after the Ranburne game. “We weren’t very good on offense or defense tonight. We gotta shake it, work on us and get better.”
