COUNTY SCHOOLS PURCHASE PROPERTY By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
The Tallapoosa County Board of Education agreed to purchase a corner lot adjacent to the Dadeville High School Football field for $84,500 Tuesday at an emergency meeting. “Possible uses in the future that I see for that property are additional parking that we could charge for, private parking that you pay for a year or for a future field house,” Tallapoosa County Board
of Education Superintendent Joe Windle explained to the board. “We struggled when we had the site plan done for here. The topic of where to put a new field house was a big discussion because we don’t have a lot of usable room with a under ground stream that runs through there. But at this point there is no planned use for the property.” The property contains six apartment units, four of which are occupied and have current leases of $350 a month
each and is just over one acre in size. Windle said they began to work with John Rice Realty last week about possibly purchasing the property and that the owner accepted the offer Friday afternoon. Windle explained that likely the leases would not be renewed with the purchase. Windle also explained the urgency with approving the purchase. “There are two other buyers with offers pending,” Windle said.
The funds to purchase the property are coming from the most recent 1-cent sales tax. Since the board has met the one-month’s operating expense, it can purchase the property. “We were about $13,000 short Sept. 30,” CFO Phil Blasingame said. “We are now about $450,000 over.” Windle felt good about the purchase. “I would not be concerned about what this does to the revenue stream,” See SCHOOLS • Page 5

By MITCH SNEED Editor
Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department investigators have made a second arrest for arson in a fire that gutted a Dadeville area nightclub last month. Tallapoosa Kidwell County Sheriff Jimmy Abbett announced Monday that 20-year-old Kendall Luke Kidwell of Pearson Circle in Dadeville was arrested Sunday in connection with an early morning burglary and fire at Colonel Tom’s Tavern on Wednesday, Dec. 14. Kidwell was arrested and charged with second-degree arson, third-degree burglary and third-degree theft of property. Kidwell was placed in jail with a $40,000 bond. Records show that Kidwell posted bond and has since been released. The club located at 10207 County Road 34 near Dadeville was heavily damaged in the fire

Judge sets strict conditions for McDaniel’s release on bond By MITCH SNEED Editor
Judge Kim Taylor Thursday signed an order that will allow Matthew Clate McDaniel to be free on bond awaiting trial for the Jan. 17, 2016 murder of Norman Dean Crayton. Taylor’s order doesn’t make freedom easy, setting a long list of bond conditions that must be adhered to or he will be returned to jail until his trial. McDaniel has remained in the Tallapoosa County Jail since a $250,000 bond was revoked after he ran into some legal issues in Auburn while he was released.

Other conditions include that McDaniel must reside only at a residence that the court has approved McDaniel and is to be at the residence between the hours of 7 p.m. and 5 a.m. As a condition of his release, McDaniel must report to the Tallapoosa County Probation Office within 24 hours of his release follow See MCDANIEL • Page 5

that was reported by a motorist at about 3:40 a.m. that morning. Law enforcement and fire personnel arrived on the scene at about 3:55 a.m. The interior of the building, which featured walls that were largely plywood, was gutted by the flames. No official estimate was given on the amount of damage, but from the outside looking in equipment, fixtures, seating and appliances appeared to be charred as a result of the fire. The building is located less than a mile from the Paces Point Volunteer Fire Department
headquarters and the flames were knocked down before the exterior walls were totally destroyed. As officials investigated the fire later the day it occurred, Alabama State Fire Marshal Scott Pilgreen confirmed that the fire was deliberately set and was being investigated as arson. Jonathan Kurtis Caldwell, 19, of Dadeville was previously arrested in the case Caldwell was charged with second-degree arson, third-degree burglary and thirddegree theft, the same charges that Kidwell is facing. Colonel Tom’s owner Tom
McElroy said the business did not have any property insurance. He said that about $7,000 in cash and $6,000 in alcohol were stolen before the building was set on fire. A check of court records shows that the cases are currently set for first call on the Feb. 21 docket at the Tallapoosa County Courthouse in Dadeville. Investigators Michael Temple and Bill Hough worked tirelessly on the case for almost a month. Abbett thanked the State Fore Marshal’s Office and other agencies for their help in the investigation.
Audit state law and attorney general opinions on the matter, the report alleges. Information provided in the summary indicates that Archer has repaid the funds as requested. “These payments were not documented as to the purpose of the expenditures, and do not appear to be in compliance with Section 68, Article IV, Constitution of Alabama, 1901. A letter was sent to the Judge of Probate requesting repayment in the amount of $14,950. After a meeting with the Chief Examiner, the Judge of Probate paid the charges in full,” the summary states. Indexing fee funds come from extra payments that are paid for some
services provided by the office and collection funds for other agencies. Under state law, the funds “shall be used at the discretion of the judge of probate for an improved indexing system or other equipment, maintenance, and services necessary for the improvement of the office of the judge of probate and other county operations.” Payment to employees doesn’t appear to fall under those guidelines. Archer is currently serving a six-month suspension without pay as a result of a Jan. 30, 2016 Alexander City Outlook story that revealed that the judge had exchanged sexually explicit messages, some that included nude
images, with a woman who was half his age who previously had a case before him. Archer reached an agreement with the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission on Aug. 3, 2016 following an investigation launched after The Outlook’s story reached members of the commission. The JIC complaint alleged that “Judge Archer’s conduct described in this complaint demonstrates: a failure to uphold the high standards of conduct required of judges so that the integrity and independence of the judiciary may be preserved, a failure to avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety

in all his activities, a failure to at all times maintain the decorum and temperance benefitting his office, and a failure to avoid conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice that brings the judicial office into disrepute.” It was also shown in the report that Archer cooperated completely with the review. Archer was first elected on Nov. 6, 2012 to serve a six-year term as probate court judge. Archer previously served as a county commissioner in Shelby and Tallapoosa counties. Archer is scheduled to return to work on Feb. 4 when the six-moth suspension is satisfied.

How do we fund Bentley’s prison plan?
G
ov. Robert Bentley has announced that he hopes to again present the same exact construction package designed to help ease overcrowding in Alabama’s prisons when the Alabama State Legislature gathers next week. There’s no question that something needs to be done. The Alabama prison system is in crisis. The prisons are currently operating at nearly twice their capacity. Violence and sexual assaults are the norm. Prisoners often go without basic mental health and medical care, failures that sparked a pending Southern Poverty Law Center lawsuit. There have been suicides by witnesses who took the stand to put a face on the conditions in Alabama prisons. If that’s not enough, the U.S. Department of Justice has launched its own investigation into the dangerous conditions in Alabama prisons and a total takeover is a real possibility. While it is admirable that Bentley is finally trying to do something about a problem that was here long before he took office, it’s hard to imagine that the legislature will ever by this idea. He hopes to add 4,000 beds and replace old prisons with new modern facilities. The state will seek bonds to pay for the construction under Bentley’s plan. Bentley insists that by building new facilities the prisons will become more efficient and that up to $50 million a year can be saves, virtually paying the debt the state will incur. According to data from 2015, Alabama has the nation’s third highest inmate-to-staff ration now, which experts believe is contributing to the incidents of violence and abuse that we are seeing far too often today. So is cutting staff really the way to go? While building more modern facilities and additional beds is a must if we are to keep criminals off the streets, the flaw in the plan is the funding. We have to find a better way to pay for the construction, fund programs and initiatives that will help rehabilitate, assure inmate safety and make sure that prisons are adequately staffed. While we are sure the system can be more efficient, all we ask is that we get a financial picture that is based in fact.

Editorial Thank God I’m a country boy Our Mission
I
reckon I’m a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll, but since I don’t really listen to rock and roll, I’d have to say I’m more country than anything else. I’m not saying I’m country as a turnip green, but I did eat a plate full of them on New Year’s Day. You are what you eat, right? All my family is from the country—way out in the country. Both sides of my family were raised in the same area and on the same road for the most part. People on both sides of my family are related to each other from different directions. I’m not insinuating any skullduggery went on back in the day. It was just a tight knit community. They were country folk. They were my people. While I was born and raised in the big city of Opelika, I spent a large chunk of my youth at my grandparent’s home in those parts. Granddaddy always had a big garden. He had just about every kind of fruit tree imaginable, too. He had a barn, too. My brother and I spent a lot of time playing in that barn. We got goats for Christmas one year. Now if that ain’t country, you can…listen to a David Allan Coe song and finish this sentence. He kept two cans next to the back door. One was for compost and the other was a slop bucket for the dogs.
JODY FULLER Guest Columnist
They ate turnip greens, too, or whatever else we didn’t eat. It was a different time. They were country. I’ve been away from that country lifestyle for a very long time. Not that I was ever Mr. Green Jeans, but I am trying to get my hands and boots dirty again. Last week I fed cows a couple of times and even learned to drive and operate a tractor. I did things I never imagined doing just a couple of years ago, but it’s so much fun learning to do new things, particularly when it’s in your blood. When we were feeding the cows, I was careful not to step in any of the cow patties. I asked my buddy David, a real country boy from South Alabama, if he looked down when he walked. “If you’re looking down, you can’t see where you’re going,” he said. Country folks are wise people. Make no mistake about it. After that, I just walked wherever my boots took me. It’s not like I was wearing flip flops. I got some on my hands, too. It came from the string on one of the hay bales after I moved it with the tractor. Before that, we had to cover up one of the large
stacks of hay as the wind had blown the tarp off earlier. They had to have stood 15 feet high. David stood on top, grabbed his side of the tarp, and rappelled down the side. “That’s all you do,” he explained. So, I stood on top, grabbed my side of the tarp, and slowly slid down the hay like an alligator off a muddy bank into the water.” Maybe next time, David. There’s a nice size pond out there, too, which becomes infested with beavers several times a year. We are planning on trapping some soon. I’m sure there’ll be a story there. Ove the past year, I planted a garden, caught and cleaned fish, and used a chain saw to cut my own fire wood. The chain saw really did a number to my cow milking muscles, but they’ve finally healed up, so who knows? Maybe that’s next since I’ve never milked a cow. I love trying new things, especially when I never saw any of them coming. Each day is an adventure. Life ain’t nothing but a funny, funny riddle, Thank God I’m a country boy!

Some are already blooming and all of the typical spring flowers are trying to show us their colors. I am afraid we will lose some of these blooms during the next few weeks. If you have been in the woods this winter you
can see the results of the drought we had this past summer. There are a lot of dead trees, even some in the landscape. Now is a good time to replace those.

Reader asks: Why? Why? Why?
Dear Editor, Is it possible for anyone to tell me why people everywhere can’t get along? Seemingly there is not much peace anywhere. According to the Bible, we are to love one another. We are to love and pray for everyone. Oh yes, we may dislike a person’s way but we need to still pray for their soul. I never dreamed I would live to see violence, hate, murders, etc. as there is everywhere from young to old alike. 2017 is a new beginning so instead of downing, ridicule, hatred, riots, every sort of ugliness, why don’t we try praying for each other, our leaders everywhere, our military, our whole world?

One of the highlights for me was the recognition of the Methodist Men’s group from the Dadeville First Methodist Church as the recipient of the 2016 Laeman Butcher Community Service Award in appreciation for their selfless, dedicated community service provided to those of need in Tallapoosa County. This recognition was especially meaningful since Laeman was a leader in the men’s group. The work by this group is well know for helping those who need ramps, porches, yard clean up, painting, or simply company. I also attended the quarterly luncheon at the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Girls Ranch last week. I heard a report about the grades and school progress of all the girls at the ranch. If you are looking for a place to

difference. Let each one of us do it, not wait on someone else. 2 Corinthians 7:14 says it all. I feel we may not have as long as we once had. Do people not want to live a life worth going to Heaven? Wouldn’t think it would be that hard. Eternity is forever, never ending, not like our life here. Hard to believe people can’t see how blessed they are. We are still a free country. We can pray, worship, get an education, etc. There are so many opportunities here for all. We have surely helped a lot from other countries. We truly need to count our blessings and give God credit for them. I have always heard the majority wins. Well, we may not like or agree with the
majority but, for Heaven sakes let’s drop it and do what God would like – love and pray for one another. Give up riots, killings, hatred and see if it doesn’t come out better. It is hard to believe that someone can just kill, so to speak, for the thrill of it. Like has been that go in homes, churches, businesses, etc. and just kill. They have got to be “devil possessed.” Life is precious, God created us all equally so let’s not forget this and perhaps 2017 can become a much happier, safer and better year. Remember John 3:16. Please don’t forget to pray for all. God Bless all. Margaret Aldridge Dadeville

Junior Leadership Lake Martin collecting shoes School STAFF REPORT TPI Staff
Attention anyone with a closet: Those shoes you no longer want are desperately needed to fight the human tragedy of global poverty. That’s the message being delivered by Junior Leadership Lake Martin, which has launched a drive to collect shoes to help the poor. Used and new shoes, both adult and children’s, can be dropped off at all local high schools, elementary and middle schools in Alexander City, Dadeville, New Site and Reeltown. Other drop-off locations include Harbor Learning Academy, Jacobs Ladder and Woody Woodpecker
Day Care in Alexander City. The shoes that Junior Leadership Lake Martin collects will be delivered to Soles4Souls distribution facility in Wadley. Soles4Souls is a not for profit global social enterprise committed to fighting poverty through the collection and distribution of shoes and clothing. Founded in 2006, the organization has distributed more than 26 million pairs of shoes in 127 countries. “Junior Leadership Lake Martin is supporting Soles4Souls because it is the definition of a social enterprise where solid business practices are used to create positive change in people’s lives,” said Board Member Mark Knight. “JLLM is a strong supporter of
Soles4Souls’ anti-poverty mission, and we hope to take a big step in providing the organization with the used shoes they require to keep making a difference for people in need.” Soles4Souls will convert every used pair of shoes collected from the community into a value-added social currency to achieve positive change, both humanitarian and economic. Most of the gently used shoes will be distributed to microenterprise programs that create jobs in Haiti and other poor nations. The resulting revenue will help fund the free distribution of new shoes in the U.S., Canada and developing nations around the world.

Windle said. “Now another $200,000 I would be.” Conditions of the contract call for accepting the contract from the seller within five days, 15 days to review the current leases at the apartment complex and a closing by Feb. 27. In the absence of board members Randy Anderson and Matilda Woodyard-Hamilton, the board unanimously agreed to the purchase though board member Michael Carter wanted to make sure the blanks in the working copy of the contract were removed and make sure title insurance was purchased. Windle told the board that he will present a plan for the ad valorem tax referendum at the board’s work session Feb. 7 at 5 p.m.

The Lake Martin Experience’s Michael Langston. “I met these people about seven or eight years ago,” Langston explained from the podium. “Several times during the next few years we would have conversations. He had a passion for doing something with Stillwaters Golf and the restaurant. “The golf course is very good, the restaurant is incredible. Stillwaters is alive again like it was in ’72 when it first started. They brought fresh air back into Stillwaters almost single handedly.” “I am not quite sure I deserve this,” Keith Hiett said. “It has been a hard struggle, but I knew it was going to be. This award is not mine. It is every person that is at Stillwaters golf and Coppers Grill…They are the ones that make it happen.” Sandra Carlisle presented the Business of the Year to Ivy Creek Healthcare. “It is a community effort,” Ivy Creek’s Mike Bruce said of the award. “The only way to make it is community support…I have been privileged to live in a lot of different places but this is what I call home. “I appreciate the award on behalf of the employees. When we first started we had 16 employees and now have over 200, so we have seen some progress.” The Laeman Butcher Community Service Award was given by last year’s recipient Michael Carter. “We want to honor some people that have been
providing free community help to our citizens in need,” Carter said. “This is the First United Methodist Church Men’s Group.” The group was once lead by the award’s namesake Laeman Butcher. “He was one of the leaders in our group,” Raphord Farrington said of Butcher. “He set the bar real high and inspired us to a lot of things. Our average age is 77 years old. We used to do roofs, today we don’t do anything higher than we can reach…It is one of the most gratifying things we have every done.” There were other awards, honors and donations made at the banquet. Belinda Siggers Whaley was given a certificate of appreciation for her ongoing help with Friends of Dadeville and their help with the Christmas parade. The Lake Martin Area United Way was given the proceeds from the Denim and Diamond Ball. Director Sharon Fuller expressed her gratitude for donation and continued support. Dadeville Elementary School Principal Dr. Chris Dark was on hand to accept a donation to the school from the chamber. Members of the chamber selected Michael Carter to serve again as president of the Dadeville Chamber of Commerce.

McDaniel “every order of the probation office the same as if it were an order made directly from the court.” The order also requires McDaniel “to be fitted with and is to wear at all times an ankle GPS monitoring device.” McDaniel is also forbidden from applying for a passport. McDaniel was released late last week after all the requirements and conditions were satisfied. The judges bond order and McDaniel’s subsequent release were the latest in a case that has had several twists and turns. McDaniel was arrested in the early morning hours of Jan. 17, 2016 after hunters found Crayton’s body in a wooded area off Barron’s Bridge Road south of Dadeville. Investigators indicated that the victim sustained multiple gunshot wounds. McDaniel saw his case bound over to the Tallapoosa County Grand Jury after a June 28 preliminary hearing where investigators in

had been moved and an attempt had been made to destroy and hide evidence in the case. No additional court dates are set according to court records and the case is still pending presentation to a Tallapoosa County Grand Jury for indictment. Due to grand jury secrecy provisions, it’s unclear if the case will be presented
when the panel meets in early February in Dadeville.

PUZZLES & HOROSCOPE ARIES (March 21-April 19) Put your best foot forward. The unexpected could elicit an element of confusion. Several close loved ones will come forward and prove to be helpful. Take an overview of the present situation. Detach, and you will feel better and more secure. Tonight: Think “weekend.” TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might want to pull back and think before you take action. Use the morning and part of the afternoon to re-evaluate a decision. You could be Åipping back and forth between two approaches. This process helps you to see more clearly. Tonight: You feel up to snuɈ. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use the daylight hours to zero in on what you want. You could Änd that others are acting unpredictably, each embodying his or her unique style. Nevertheless, a wonderful opportunity emerges. What is stopping you? Tonight: You are going to need all the rest you can get. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might have had enough of someone else’s nagging. Your cold shoulder is likely to let this person know that you have had enough! Listen to news with a big smile. Toward the end of the day, you will feel like celebrating. Tonight: Opt for an early weekend. Start now! LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Reach out to someone you care about, as he or she always puts an interesting slant on an issue. Be willing to explore new ideas. Detach from a person who seems interesting but is closed down. Avoid negativity, if possible. Tonight: A friend could play a strong role. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to make a decision, but you recognize that you need to depend on a key person. A discussion could be diɉcult at best. Honor a fast change, knowing full well what is about to happen. Trust that you will see the big picture. Tonight: Read between
the lines. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Defer to a partner who feels secure. This person has quite a few ideas that you might want to listen to. Be willing to let go and trust your gut. Later in the day, several intense talks are likely to Äll your agenda. Brainstorm away. Tonight: Opt for something diɈerent. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out to an associate who makes all the diɈerence when you work with him or her. You both are competent, but you produce a better product when you work together. Don’t feel challenged by this person’s energy. Tonight: Go along with a friend’s suggestion. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Let a creative person give you strong feedback. You might be put oɈ by one of his or her requests and will try to pull away. Once you give someone a reaction, try to mellow out some. Deal with what needs to be handled. Tonight: Grab an opportunity for a little R and R. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You’ll discover how diɈerent your opinion is from someone else’s. A domestic matter or real estate issue weaves right through your day. Know what you want and go for it, but know that you could change your mind about your objective later. Tonight: Add some mischief. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You will state your case and also support yourself in heading in a certain direction. You could Änd it nearly impossible to continue down your chosen path. You might opt to be more spontaneous and impulsive. Count on there being ramiÄcations. Tonight: Settle in. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Continue your disciplined approach in order to get more of what you want. You could feel frustrated by not being able to do everything you had set out to do. An unexpected windfall or expense could throw your present comfortable status in the air. Tonight: Mellow out.

The Tigers quarterback joins numerous seniors across the country taking part in National Signing Day By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
Dadeville’s Margarius Buchanan signed a letter of intent Wednesday to play football at Pearl River Community College and shared the moment with coaches and classmates. “Today I will be signing with Pearl River where I will be furthering my education and football career,” Buchanan told the small gathering in the Dadeville High School Media Center. “I want to say thank you to everybody for coming out. I want to say thank you to the Dadeville community and my fellow students.” Buchanan primarily played
under center at Dadeville running 1,886 yards rushing on 161 attempts and 29 touchdowns while completing 53 of 113 passes for 894 yards and six touchdowns his senior season. He also saw time as defensive back. Buchanan said Pearl River has him listed as an athlete but Buchanan says he has high hopes of being under center. “Right now they have me listed as an athlete,” Buchanan said. “But they have told me they want me to play a little quarterback as well.” Dadeville Head Coach Richard White thinks he will see time at quarterback at the Popularville, Mississippi school and says the coaches
at Pearl River are happy to get Buchanan. “They are no doubt excited,” White said. “They told him they are looking at him playing quarterback and that is a good thing.” While Buchanan may have kept his decision close, his mind was made up on Pearl River. “My decision has been made,” Buchanan said. “I was just weighing my options. My coaches felt like it was the best opportunity for me.” In fact, Buchanan has already been communicating with several of his soon to be teammates. “We have a group chat,” Buchanan said. “We talk daily. A lot of the guys had
already committed but they are signing today.” White says Buchanan is another Dadeville Tiger success story. “We just keep rolling them out of here,” White said. It is a good feeling for your kids to be able to leave Dadeville, play football and get an education. It makes us proud here to see a Dadeville kid can put in the hard work and dedication for four years then be able to move on.” Buchanan is hoping Pearl River pays bigger dividends. “I am looking forward to it. I think its just another challenge. I feel they can help me get ready for the next level. It is an opportunity for me to get stronger and bigger.”

ANDY GRAHAM Columnist
Signing Day: 2017 Auburn edition
I
t may seem like I do a column very much like this one about this time every year, but that’s only because I do a column very much like this one about this time every year. It’s National Signing Day! Love it or hate it, this particular day has become one of the bigger spectacles in the college football universe. If you can get past all the foolishness, it’s actually a pretty intriguing process. Where will that five-star defensive tackle end up? Can Auburn land that game changing wide receiver? Why do all of Alabama’s recruits have new cars? Questions like these are what can make signing day a lot of fun. I might not cherish recruiting like my crimson counterpart Luke, but even I can appreciate the appeal of immense potential. Which signee will have the most productive career? Which one will be a bust? It’s always interesting to look back and see who realized their potential and who didn’t. Auburn has recruited extremely well for the last several years, but every good class is not created equal. Team rankings from recruiting websites and the number of stars next to each name definitely mean something, but they don’t mean everything. The real question should be if the players in each class adequately address the future needs of the team. Right now, the Tigers have 19 commitments and have a class ranking of No. 10 in the country. seven of those commitments have already enrolled in school and are on campus. Auburn will also have two players that were actually in last year’s recruiting class be counted in this year’s class. In an incredible twist of fate, OL Brodarious Hamm and DE Tashawn Manning were both diagnosed with cancer a year ago before enrolling in school. They have both undergone treatment and have both been pronounced cancer-free (thank God). So if every other prospect that is now committed signs with the Tigers, that would make a total of 21 signees for 2017 and a total of 80 scholarship players. The SEC allows each team to sign a total of 25 in each class and the NCAA allows a total of 85 scholarship players. While this is certainly not the sexiest class the Tigers have signed, it does fill the teams needs quite well. Auburn loaded up on wide receivers and defensive linemen in 2016. This year, the focus has been on linebackers and offensive linemen. Tadarian Moultry is a fivestar linebacker from Jackson Olin in Birmingham and one of the headliners in the class. KJ Britt from Oxford and Chandler Wooten from Kennesaw, Georgia, round out a very impressive linebacker group. Five-star offensive lineman Calvin Ashley is another jewel in the 2017 class. Highly touted Nick Brahms from Navarre, Florida and Austin Troxel from Madison Academy look like future starters on the offensive line. Of course, the biggest piece of the puzzle is most likely fivestar QB Jarrett Stidham. He’ll be a redshirt sophomore and already has fans salivating at his potential. Hopefully, the production will live up to the hype. I’m not expecting a lot of drama for Auburn today. The Tigers still have a few spots available for guys like DE Markaviest Bryant and LB Tyler Taylor, but don’t be surprised to see Auburn sign less than 25 this year. In the spirit of the day, I’m signing off wishing all your five stars pan out and all your three stars overachieve. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

Dadeville grapplers fall to visiting Beulah Bobcats By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Dadeville varsity wrestling team was just edged out by Beulah at home Thursday as the Tigers lost to the Bobcats 36-33. Two Tigers won their matches in the first period. In the 152-pound division, Dadeville senior Tyler Muniz overcame Sellers with a takedown. In the 170-pound class, senior Austin Holley defeated Hale with a takedown and reversal. One Tiger took his match in three periods. Dadeville eighth-grader Dillan Strickland won over Morris,
who stalled and escaped. Three DHS wrestlers won their matches with Beulah forfeits. They were sophomore R.J. Ford in the 138-pound division, seventh-grader Royce Berry in the 195-pound class and junior Kenneth “Ab” Abernathy in the 220-pound division. What hurt Dadeville was the loss of five matches due to forfeits. They include the following classes: 126-pound, 132-pound, 145-pound, 160pound, 182-pound and heavyweight. Both Dadeville and Beulah forfeited the 106 and 120pound divisions. Despite the forfeits due to students dropping off the team
earlier in the season, Dadeville varsity wrestling head coach George Richardson was pleased with his grapplers’ performances. “I thought we did great,” he said. Richardson believes his team is progressing as he had hoped. “This is actually the time of the season where I thought we’d be hitting our stride and reaching our goals,” the coach said. “Right now there’s no question about our competitiveness. In terms of our fundamentals and actual skills, they’re coming around.” The Dadeville varsity wrestling team next heads to Beauregard in Opelika on
Saturday, Feb. 4, for Hornet State Tournament. In addition to the host team, the Tigers will compete with Benjamin Russell, Elmore County, Selma, Saint James, Smiths Station, Ranburne, Beulah, Holtville, Opelika, Foley, G.W. Carver, Prattville Christian Academy, Tallassee, Russell County and P.C. Central. Matches start at 9 a.m. Dadeville’s next home match is 2 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 7, when the Tigers once again host Beulah. “Those will be the last two matches prior to us going to State Sectionals in Montgomery,” Richardson said.
Lady Rebels get 2nd win at Elmore County Reeltown varsity boys end regular season with a loss By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Reeltown varsity girls ended their regular season this week on a sweet note as the Lady Rebels defeated Elmore County on the road Tuesday in a buzzer-beater 30-29. The narrow win didn’t come easy. In fact, the Reeltown varsity girls started from behind with the first quarter ending 9-5. By the half, the Lady Rebels were trailing by 10 points with a second-quarter score of 20-10. But as the second half opened, the momentum began to shift ever so slightly as Reeltown added seven more points in the third to Elmore County’s five. This narrowed the gap with a third-quarter score of 25-17, Elmore County. The final quarter is what made all the difference as the Lady Rebels pulled out all the stops by putting up 13 final points in the fourth. Meanwhile, Elmore County stalled with only four. With that, the Reeltown varsity girls came from behind to take their second win of the season. Lady Rebels head coach Will Solomon credits Marsheka Shaw with helping to shift the game in Reeltown’s favor. “Marsheka Shaw had
23 rebounds and a put back at the buzzer to give us the win,” he said. Leading the Lady Rebels in scoring was Reeltown freshman Diyanna Newton, who had eight points, two rebounds and an assist. She had help from Shaw, a junior who had six points. With Tuesday’s win, the Lady Rebels ended their regular season 2-12 overall and 1-5 in the region. The Reeltown varsity boys’ final game of the regular season didn’t end as well. The Rebels lost at Elmore County Tuesday by a score of 78-60. According to Reeltown varsity boys basketball head coach Jonathan Gardner, the loss boiled down to inconsistency. “We played pretty good but we started off slow again,” he said. “We also had a couple of breakdowns in our defense.” Despite the loss, Reeltown freshman forward Eric Shaw led the Rebels in scoring with 25 points, 15 rebounds and five blocks. With Tuesday’s loss, the Rebels end their regular season 2-14 overall and 1-5 in the region. Reeltown heads into the first round of 2A Area Playoffs Tuesday. Varsity boys play Lanett at LaFayette at 5:30 p.m. Varsity girls take on host Lanett at 6:30 p.m.
