New finance director on council agenda Two Alex City residents finalists for vacant position
By CLIFF WILLIAMS Staff Writer
John David Loudermilk is in the Tallapoosa County Jail after his arrest by the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department Thursday night in on Lilly Lane Jacksons Gap. Loudermilk was wanted on charges stemming from an altercation in Dadeville. “We have charges of robbery Loudermilk first and domestic violence menancing,” Dadeville Police Department Assisstant Chief Chris Martin said. “The charges stem from a domestic situation involving family members.” Authorities say that a Kia driven by a man believed to the 23-yearold Loudermilk fled when the deputy tried to initiate a stop Wednesday near Horseshoe Bend School. The vehicle raced at speeds in excess of 100 mph at times with units from the county, New Site, Jacksons Gap, Dadeville, Chambers See CHASE • Page 7

Alexander City could have a new finance director Monday night as the city council has that appointment on its agenda. Last week council members interviewed the two finalists for the position. Sandy Stanbrough, who held many leadership roles in accounting for the Russell Corp. and Lee Jones, an Alexander City resident who is a controller for a unit of automotive parts manufacturer Nemac, emerged from the original applicants and met with the council members in a public setting last week. While both were knowledgeable of accounting and had a passion for their work, their experience comes is different areas of expertise. Jones has been with Nemac for 16 years, seeing three changes in ownership. He has extensive experience in budgeting and managing tight deadlines in financial reporting for the publically traded company that has its international headquarters in García, which is Monterrey, Mexico. One of the things that stood out when Jones spoke about Alexander City, was the passion and love he said he felt for the town he has called home for more than 20 years. Stanbrough rose through the ranks of accounting at Russell, heading up See COUNCIL • Page 7

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 18 years. This is the second marriage for both of us. His ex-wife has asked him to fill in as caretaker for her father while she goes to an appointment. He sees nothing wrong with this, but it makes me very uncomfortable. I don’t think this should be our responsibility. His exfather-in-law has three other grown children. I don’t know how to handle this without coming off as the bad guy. Help, please.

DEAR ABBY: My boss and his wife have been my friends for 25 years. I invited them to my daughter’s wedding. His daughter is being married in three weeks and I have
not yet received an invitation. I’m wondering why. Any thoughts? -- WONDERING IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WONDERING: There could be any number of reasons why you weren’t invited. Their daughter and her fiance may prefer that the money her parents would have spent on a large wedding be given to them instead so they can save for a down payment on a house or condo; it will be a small, intimate affair with family only; they are paying for the wedding themselves and don’t have the money to invite all of their parents’ friends. My advice is to wait and see how this plays out, because eventually, I am sure you will have your answer.

This is why this very important subject should be discussed with your child’s pediatrician to help you decide what is best for her.

New head coach talks tennis with Dadeville Kiwanis Club
Kiwanis Club invested in school tennis team future By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer
The Dadeville High School tennis team is readying for its season to begin, and the team leadership spoke about the sport’s direction and what is needed to get there in her address to the Dadeville Kiwanis Club Thursday. New head coach and DHS math teacher Deanna Jennings said she took up the coaching position at the insistence of students who were adamant about restarting starting the sport at the school. “We have some pretty good competitors, I think,” she said, “and they’re getting better.”

program. “We can start young too we don’t have to a country club here, this can be our little tennis program,” Campbell said. “If you really get the bug and you really love tennis you’re willing to give your time to go out there and teach others I can’t tell you how happy it makes my heart to go out there and teach those other kids.” The DHS tennis coaches told the Dadeville Kiwanis that volunteers have already come forward to help instruct the DHS tennis team. Plus, the program is receiving promotional help from the U.S. Tennis Association. Campbell and Jennings also explained the need for funds to maintain and advance
the school’s tennis program. “My goal is for tennis to be maintained,” Jennings said. The Dadeville Kiwanis took a big step in helping to meet that goal by presenting the coaches with $1,000 to repair the school’s 15-year-old tennis courts originally funded by the civic group. Two teams, consisting of eight girls and seven boys, are putting those repair courts to use by practicing for a full schedule of nine matches. All but one will be on the home court. The DHS tennis team opens its season at 3:15 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 13.

A
W
e are lucky to live in an area that has such cooperation between law enforcement
agencies. Just look at the headlines over the last few weeks and almost every story has multiple agencies working to bring criminals to justice. • A murder investigation in Alexander City leads to an arrest of two individuals in Dadeville that involved the Alexander City Police Department, the Dadeville Police Department and others. • A multi-county chase that involved the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department, the New Site Police and Camp Hill Police Departments to another chase that started in Lee County but Camp Hill and Dadeville Police Departments providing a stop before a high speed chase made it into Dadeville. • A massive haul of stolen goods were recovered this week and two suspects in a string of burglaries were arrested after a tip prompted action, Alexander City Police Department investigators along with several other groups and agencies all worked together to search, recover and get justice for the victims. • And today’s headline with a drug bust that featured the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Taskforce working with the Tallassee Police Department to bring down one of the larger hauls of methamphetamine in the area putting a huge dent into the supply chain. The Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force is an example of that cooperation itself. People from multiple agencies all serve as a part of the team. Combine all those agencies with the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department serving as jail for most of the agencies and you see how intertwined the web of law enforcement in our area really is. Instead of letting pride getting in the way, our law enforcement agencies are sharing information as they work for a common purpose – to get criminals off the street. They don’t worry about who makes the arrest ort where one city limit ends and another begins.. The cooperation not only saves tax dollars but makes are streets much safer.

s the nation kicks around new terms like “fake news” and “alternative facts,” my stomach churns, I can feel my blood pressure rise and the veins in my neck that my daughter tells me stick out when I get make start to bulge. If I never have another conversation with a person who begins their talk with “I saw on Facebook where…” that would be fine with me. Don’t get me wrong, social media is a great thing and it has helped us here at the newspaper get the word out to people we may not reach otherwise. But when we see stories where people believe that by starting a webpage makes them a journalist and pump out stories that haven’t been sourced, have no basis in fact and are written without any regard to what impact they can have on the profession that I love, it does make my blood boil. I don’t have the market cornered on reporting skills, journalistic ethics or intelligence. But what I do have is a passion for this business and have spent more than 30 years working long hours to try to keep the people who read the newspapers that I have worked at informed with real stories that have been sourced, researched and weighed for accuracy and fairness. A journalist doesn’t get a cool title like Certified Public Accountant or cool letters before or behind our names like a doctor would. We don’t get a badge or a seal of approval or get some sort of certification. We earn the right to be journalists through education, sweat, experience and following a code of ethics that become engrained inside so deep that it impacts every letter you type. How does that code of ethics work? It works because without it journalists would be nothing more than storytellers who pen novels and Harlequin romances. There isn’t a day that goes by where we at the Outlook

don’t face a moral or ethical dilemma during the production of a news story. Sometimes it involves which picture to use with a story. Other times it involves the subject matter. There are times when we labor over whether a story is ready to be printed and if the facts have been checked and verified. Believe it or not, we often end up in discussions on whether a story is worth publishing at all. Often times we are given details of crimes that is public information and it never makes the paper. We struggle every day with the public’s right to know versus does the public need to know if it puts another at risk. For example, we hardly ever use the names of victims of crimes, unless it is a person who has died as a result of that crime. Then, we only release the name after the notification of kin. Another example We rarely use the complete addresses of locations in reports unless it is where a crime occurred. It’s not that it isn’t public information or that we don’t have access to it, we did it because we can tell a story without those details and in the process it may prevent bigger issues. The Society of Professional Journalists has a Code of Ethics that I keep loaded on my computer. When I have a question, I often refer to it to help serve as my guide. Some of the ideals include: • Show compassion for those who may be affected by news coverage. Use heightened sensitivity when dealing with juveniles, victims of sex crimes, and sources or subjects who are inexperienced or unable to give consent. Consider cultural differences in approach and
treatment. • Recognize that legal access to information differs from an ethical justification to publish or broadcast. That’s exactly what I was talking about earlier. • Realize that private people have a greater right to control information about themselves than public figures and others who seek power, influence or attention. So if you wonder why a politician may get beat up on more than an average person, that’s the reason. • Weigh the consequences of publishing or broadcasting personal information. Avoid pandering to lurid curiosity, even if others do. • Treat everyone the same and show no favoritism. • Consider the long-term implications of the extended reach and permanence of publication. Provide updated and more complete information as appropriate. We make mistakes, and I make more than most. But I can assure you that while a typo or a wrong word may slip by me, no story appears without giving it serious thought about the subject and how we handle it. The decisions I make do keep me awake some nights. But more times than not I know that I did what I thought was right and more importantly treated people fairly even when it wasn’t a pleasant subject for either of us. While you may not always like the decision we make in the final version of the story, rest assured that we don’t do much without giving it considerable thought, careful consideration and having multiple minds with varied experience weighing the factors. Why do I do all that? In a small town it’s much different than working at a large paper in a big city. I eat lunch at the booth next to the people I wrote about and stand behind them in line at the grocery store. It boils down to the Golden Rule. It’s pretty simple really.

Derailing the Trump Express
he Trump Train is rolling on. It’s going so fast and in so many directions at once that its critics can’t catch up. All week long President Trump has filled the headlines with news. He’s nominated Neil Gorsuch -- a great judge who understands and reveres what the Constitution says, not what he’d like it to say -- to fill Antonin Scalia’s un-fillable seat on the Supreme Court. He’s seen his major cabinet picks at State, Treasury, the EPA, HHS, etc., finally get confirmed, despite the whining and foot dragging of Senate Democrats. He’s issued executive orders on taxes, regulations and who knows what else. And he’s had tough-guy Michael Flynn, his National Security Advisor, sternly warn the Iranians that we’re no longer going to stand idly by as they make trouble in the Mideast and test-rattle their ballistic missiles. By the time this column gets into print, we could be invading Yemen. Things are happening fast in Washington – at “Trump Speed,” as someone has said. It seems like a month ago that the Trump administration’s so-called “Muslim ban” was announced, but it was actually only last week. The president’s executive order restricted travelers from seven terrorist-breeding countries from coming into the USA for three months, and also suspended the refugee program for four months until a better system of vetting could be devised. The whole thing was a total political and public relations disaster for the president – a
MICHAEL REAGAN Columnist
textbook example of how not to communicate to the American people. What President Trump should have done was address the country from the Oval Office, fully explain what he was about to sign and then sign it. He should have pointed out that it was temporary, that it was based on national security and geography, not religion, and that the seven countries listed were the same ones that had been singled out by the Obama administration as terrorism incubators. All the problems and confusion and minor tragedies at airports for incoming travelers should have been foreseen and should never have occurred. All the liberal howlings that Trump was discriminating against the Muslim religion or that the ban was unconstitutional would not have been eliminated, but they would have been blunted. The crowds of knuckleheads who protested at airports still would have shown up with their pre-printed anti-Trump signs, but they would have been much smaller. The whole fiasco showed that Trump and his team are still rookies who have a lot to learn about planning, explaining and spinning their executive edicts and decisions. Trump got a D- for his “Muslim ban” announcement. But the media got a solid F for the sloppy, misleading and
partisan way they covered it. The media didn’t put the executive order in perspective, didn’t explain that it was based on geography and didn’t explain that the seven countries on the list came from the Obama administration. In their fervor to get Trump they didn’t bother to point out that President Obama’s administration had slowed down the processing of Iraqis refugees coming to the U.S. for six months in 2011 for security reasons. The most outrageous thing the media did was to fan the idea that an executive order aimed at regulating the freedom of foreign visitors was unconstitutional. It was perfectly constitutional. The U.S. Constitution doesn’t apply to foreign visitors. The only people who have the constitutional right to come into the U.S. are American citizens. Every country has restrictions for its visitors. For example, you don’t have a right to go into Canada if you have a DUI. It’s an extreme tough rule, but I don’t see the ACLU or Alcoholics Anonymous demonstrating against Canada. If anyone was responsible for all the sign-waving protestors who clogged up our airports last weekend, it was the dominant liberal media — which is clearly interested more in bashing Trump and getting ratings than the truth.

County and Camp Hill all playing roles in the chase. The suspect led lawmen on a route that covered more than 100 miles through two counties and took several twists and detours, with the suspect often doubling back during the pursuit. The suspect was able to get out of the line of sight of officers at one point and ditched the car and apparently fled on foot. “We believe the car was taken from a family member,” Martin said. Loudermilk will also face charges from other law enforcement agencies including the Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department after they finish their investigation. Court records indicate that Loudermilk has had eight arrests over the last three years, and was released on bond for receiving stolen property, possession of drug paraphernalia and attempting to elude law enforcement about two weeks ago.

cost accounting before moving over to payroll and pensions, where she oversaw the payments to more than 10,000 employees. Stanbrough painted herself as “determined, committed and stubborn” and said that “when a job has to be done, it’s going to get done – no matter what it takes,” if she were to be selected for the position. Following the interviews, Councilman Eric Brown called the decision they will face as being “tough.” “From what we saw tonight, this is going to be tough,” Brown said. “We saw two very good people with a lot of experience and they both carried themselves so well. It’s a lot to consider for sure.” The city has been without a paid finance director from the time the new council and mayor were sworn in. One of the first acts of the newly installed city council on Nov. 7 was a 6-0 vote against reappointing Sandra Machen as the city’s finance director. There are also two other big items on the Monday’s agenda. The council will consider calling for a public hearing to reconsider zoning for a parcel of land at the corner of Lee Street and Highway 280 that is currently owned by Russell Brands. That parcel has been said to be under consideration for the future site of a Dairy Queen franchise. The lease for a business currently operating inside the city-owned building that was formerly The Russell Headquarters on Lee Street is also up for consideration. The meeting is set to begin at 5:30 p.m. in the upstairs courtroom of the Alexander City Public Safety Building.

of reality, but if you look at the body of work and the numbers, I feel like I have a good chance,” Owens told USA Today. “What I did on the field, I think that measures up to the people who are wearing gold jackets.” Owens is among 18 Hall of Fame finalists, including former Rams and Cardinals great Kurt Warner, Denver Broncos safety John Lynch, Broncos running back Terrell Davis, Philadelphia defensive back Brian Dawkins, New York Jets defensive end Jason Taylor and former Chargers great LaDainian Tomlinson. Owens played in 209 NFL games, starting 193 of them. He caught 1,078 passes for almost 16,000 yards – an average of 14.8 yards per catch – and 153 touchdowns. Owens’ 15,934 receiving yards is second all-time behind only Jerry Rice. His 153 receiving touchdowns rank third all-time behind Rice and Randy Moss. The Benjamin Russell High School graduate was named to the Pro Bowl six times (2000-2004 and 2007). A star at Benjamin Russell, Owens signed to play college ball at Tennessee-Chattanooga, where he set the Moccasins’ single-season receptions record with 43 his senior season despite almost always enduring double coverage. At Chattanooga, he also played basketball and ran track. He anchored the Moccasins’ 4×100 relay team at the NCAA Track & Field Championships and played on the 1995 Chattanooga basketball team that lost 100-71 to Connecticut in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. +

Sales Tax

percent, which is one of the lowest state rates in the country. What boosts Alabama’s combined rate are the local sales taxes which are 5.1 percent on average. In Alexander City, residents pay a total of 6 percent in sales tax from non-state sources, which include money for city, county, schools and roads. California has the highest state-level sales tax rate, at 7.25 percent. Four states tie for the second-highest statewide rate, at 7 percent: Indiana, Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Tennessee. The lowest non-zero, state-level sales tax is in Colorado, which has a rate of 2.9 percent. Five states follow with 4 percent rates: Alabama, Georgia, Hawaii, New York, and Wyoming. This report, prepared by Jared Walczak and Scott Drenkard of The Tax Foundation, provides a populationweighted average of local sales taxes as of January 1, 2017. The purpose was to give a sense of the average local rate for each state, according to information supplied by the policy research group. The five states with the lowest average combined rates are Alaska (1.76 percent), Hawaii (4.35 percent), Wyoming (5.40 percent), Wisconsin (5.42 percent) and Maine (5.5 percent). The Tax Foundation report ranks states based on tax rates and does not account for differences in tax bases (e.g., the structure of sales taxes, defining what is taxable and nontaxable). States can vary greatly in this regard. For instance, most states exempt groceries from the sales tax, others tax groceries at a limited rate, and still others tax groceries at the same rate as all other products. Some states exempt clothing or tax it at a reduced rate. Alabama doesn’t offer any of those sales tax breaks, which makes Alabama’s rate even more draining on shoppers.

Due to success of Throw Away Days, quarterly events set up By MITCH SNEED Editor
Local officials have dealt with the problem of illegal dumping for years, but if the success of the two Countywide Throw Away Days is any indication, a partial solution to the problem may have been found. Middle Tallapoosa Clean Water Partnership Coordinator Sabrina Clark Wood said that the volume of trash and unwanted items that were collected on Jan. 10-11, two weekdays shows that people need a place to get rid of items that have collected at their homes on a regular basis. “Over 36 tons of garbage was collected, similar to the 40 tons collected last April,” Wood said. “Unlike what was done in April, these two days were during the week. I think that shows that there is a need for this service. “We are pleased to announce that we are moving forward with a Throw Away Day Program. Several commissioners have
already agreed to join forces throughout the year and continue to offer dumpsters at no charge.” Commissioner John McKelvey personally saw how much the dumpsters were used. In his district, a dumpster was placed in Daviston. After just a few hours, he had to call for another run because the receptacle was overflowing. “To say they used it was an understatement,” McKelvey said. “It filled up three times over the three days. The good thing is that everything they took in means that is less likely that those things will end up dumped on the side of area roads.” McKelvey’s district was the only one with similar results. Wood said that each district placed one dumpster at an advertised location. During the two day event, dumpsters were emptied multiple times and in many locations additional dumpsters had to be added. Because the days have been so popular, a quarterly schedule has been set, Wood said.

Garbage is piled up at a previous Throw Away Day. The success of the past days has led to the scheduling of quarterly throw days in an effort to keep the trash from being disposed of improperly.
“To keep a quarterly schedule, April 10-11 should be our next event followed by July 10-11 and October 9-10,” Wood said. “This has
Citizens Public Bust Safety Academy now accepting applicants By MITCH SNEED Editor
Have a desire to know more about how area first-responders work to help keep Alexander City safe? Here is your opportunity to get a up close and personal look behind the scenes. The Alexander City Police and Fire Department is accepting applications for its eighth Citizens Public Safety Academy. This academy meets once a week on Tuesday evenings for 12 weeks. The classes will last approximately two hours. “The Citizens Public Safety Academy provides insight, knowledge, and hands on training associated with police and fire departments,” said Alexander City Police Department Capt. James Orr. The purpose of the Citizen Public Safety academy is not to teach members of the community to be public safety officers, instead it is an opportunity for community members to gain a better understanding of the responsibilities and challenges of the public safety profession.” The academy has been a big part of the department’s efforts to work with residents to help them be a part of the units that keep the city safe. “Citizen public safety academies serve as a component of community public safety programs,” Orr said. “Participants learn about the system and how they can work with public safety to address community problems.” While participants aren’t trained to be firstresponders, they do get to experience a lot of the same training exercises. Some of the classes include firearms training at the police firing range, rappelling, ride along with officers, opportunity to visit communications and many other aspects of public safety. If you would like to be part of a very rewarding program, Orr said residents can go to http:// www.alexandercityonline.com/PDF/CPA.pdf to download an application. Applications are also available at the Alexander City Police Department. Applications are due no later than Feb. 28. Orr said all applicants must be at least 18 years of age. The start date is set for March 7 and runs each Tuesday until May 23. Classes begin at 6 p.m.

who is currently serving a sentence under the Community Corrections Program,” White said. “Marshall is considered a major distributor for methamphetamine for the eastern most part of Tallapoosa County. According to White, investigators located and seized 165 grams of crystal methamphetamine, tramadol pills, synthetic marijuana and digital scales. “The Task Force had been receiving complaints about drug activity coming from this residence for the past six months,” White said. Marshall, 27, of Dadeville was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana degree and possession of drug paraphernalia. As a result of the operation. which included a number of controlled buys, led investigators to multiple suspects. Others arrested included: • Hilyard “Bill” Tucker, 35 of Dadeville, was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, distribution of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. • John Farrel Adamson, 26 of Dadeville was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree
possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Thomas Bufford, 39, of Dadeville was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Morgan Sheridan, 33, of Jacksons Gap was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, seconddegree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. • Jeffery Sheridan, 53, of Jacksons Gap was arrested and charged with trafficking in methamphetamine, two counts of possession of controlled substance, seconddegree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Tallassee Police Chief Matthew Higgins said he welcomed the help of the task force and said that having that kind of expertise available is a great help in battle drugs in his area. “I think this operation speaks volumes for the expertise and the power of a cooperative effort when it comes to keep drugs off the streets,” Higgins said. “There had been complaints from this area for quite some time and to use this type of multi-level investigation and operation is the only way to make such a dramatic impact. We are thankful to all the investigators and
agencies who were a part of it.” While that haul was impressive, it wasn’t the only drug bust in the area Thursday. The Alexander City Police Department responded to a possible shoplifting incident at Walgreens off U.S. Highway 280 and in the process found evidence of drug activity, which led to the arrest of multiple suspects on drug related charges. • Jason Jacques, 37, of New Site was arrested and charged with distribution of controlled substance, possession with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and fourth-degree theft of property. • Carrie Mitchell, 18, of Rainbow City was arrested and charged with possession with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and fourth-degree theft of property. • Cathy Howard, 49, of Alexander City was arrested and charged with possession with the intent to distribute, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and fourth-degree theft of property. “This was a pretty big deal for us,” White said. “Two totally separate incidents, but it’s rare when you can make that many arrests and feel like you have stopped a fairly major player in the drug trade in our area in the same day. We appreciate the help of all the agencies who worked so hard in these cases.”

Wildcats get a win over Coosa Benjamin Russell varsity girls fall to Lady Cougars in Friday’s road game By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
The Benjamin Russell varsity boys were triumphant in Friday’s road game as the Wildcats defeated Central Coosa 62-53. The ‘Cats started slow by trailing 15-10 in the first quarter. By halftime, Ben Russell had come from behind to stake a claim on the contest. The Wildcats put up 22 more points in the second quarter while the Cougars managed six for a halftime score of 32-21 in favor of the Wildcats. The Wildcats stood their ground in the second half as they added to their lead with 10 more points in the third quarter. Meanwhile, Central Coosa added 13 to slightly shave the Wildcats’ lead by one point with a third-quarter score of 42-34. Both teams fought for the win in the fourth quarter. But with Ben Russell’s momentum, the night was theirs as they put up 20 final points to the Cougars’ 19 for the 62-53 win. Benjamin Russell varsity boys basketball head coach Jeff Hines was extremely pleased with his team’s performance Friday. “I was really proud of our guys,” he said. “I thought we ran what we wanted to do offensively extremely well. Our defense was the difference in the game, and our ability to rebound the ball on both ends of the court. We did a really good job of taking care of the ball. “I’m just so proud of these guys,” Hines added. “They’ve had their backs against the wall all year long. And we played three really good ball games the last three games. We’ve got one more to finish the regular season.” Leading the Wildcats in the win was Benjamin Russell senior center Tay Johnson with 12 points. He had help from senior shooting guard Timmy Lawson and senior point guard Quentavious Reese, who each

had 11. Leading the Cougars’ scoring was Central Coosa senior forward Tyius Evans with 11 points. He had help from senior forward Jayterius Hill with nine points and sophomore guard Omar Gaddis, who had eight. The win brings the Ben Russell varsity boys’ season record to 8-13 overall and 2-1 in the region. For the Cougars, Friday’s loss drops their
record to 14-11 overall and 6-2 in the region. The Benjamin Russell varsity girls’ road trip wasn’t as successful as the Lady Wildcats suffered a narrow 64-61 loss to the Lady Cougars Friday. Ben Russell started with a slight edge in a 17-16 first quarter lead. But the second quarter is where the momentum shifted in Central Coosa’s favor. The Lady Cougars added 20 more points
to Ben Russell’s 11 for a halftime lead of 36-28. Central Coosa came back in the second half determined to dominate by adding 15 more points in the third to the Lady Wildcats’ 12 for a 51-40 lead. In the final quarter Benjamin Russell put it all on the hardwood by adding 21 more points in the fourth. And while Central Coosa had 13, their established lead was enough to stop the Lady Wildcats with a 64-61 win. According to Benjamin Russell varsity girls basketball head coach Latreisha Moon, Friday’s loss boiled down to inconsistency. “I didn’t think we started to play until the fourth quarter,” she said. “We have to start playing from the beginning of the game. “I think that at times we lost our hustle,” Moon added. “I feel that in order to continue on this season, we must play a complete game from the start. I told the girls that we can’t forget how to work hard. But all in all, I feel that we just need to continue to play and work hard.” Leading the Lady Cougars in the win was Central Coosa junior small forward Ryesha Whetstone with 19 points. She had help from freshman guard Eunique McKinney with 14 points and senior guard Shania Tuck, who had 12. Leading the Lady Wildcats in scoring was Benjamin Russell sophomore Jaaliya Caldwell with 12 points. She had help from sophomore LaHope Westbrooks and junior Shay Johnson, who each had nine. The win brings the Central Coosa varsity girls’ season record to 16-5 overall and undefeated in the region. For the Lady Wildcats, Friday’s loss drops their season record to 11-9 overall and 2-3 in the region. Benjamin Russell next hosts Tallassee today. Varsity girls start at 1:30 p.m. and varsity boys tip off at 3 p.m.
Horseshoe Bend splits road games at Holtville Lady Generals take win, varsity boys suffer disappointment By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor
Cory Diaz / The Outlook
In Thursday’s game at Holtville, Horseshoe Bend junior Trace Meadows grapples for the ball.
The Horseshoe Bend varsity girls had a triumphant road trip Thursday as the Lady Generals defeated region foe Holtville 54-10. Horseshoe Bend varsity girls basketball head coach Erica Meigs was pleased with the win that saw less experienced team members get some playing time. “A few players got some good experience in a varsity game that they had not gotten before,” she said. Leading the Lady Generals in the win was Horseshoe Bend sophomore center Ivy Vickers with 20 points. She had help from freshman
forward Nadia Freeman with 10 points and eighthgrade center Jahia Jennings, who had five. The win brings the Horseshoe Bend varsity girls’ season record to 10-11 overall and 2-6 in the region. The Horseshoe Bend varsity boys’ away game was not as successful as the Generals lost to Holtville 68-53. The loss drops the Generals’ season record to 10-11 overall and 2-5 in the region. Horseshoe Bend moves into the 2A, Area 8 playoffs next week. The varsity girls take on LaFayette at Lanett Monday at 5 p.m. and the varsity boys head to LaFayette Tuesday to play the host team at 7 p.m.
High school basketball tournaments tip off Monday night By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor Once Benjamin Russell and Tallassee finish their matchups today in Wildcats country, the regular high school basketball season will be history. But fret not. Area fans have one more week of excitement, as playoffs get under way. All but one of our area teams will be hitting the road for those playoffs. This year’s stellar season records have qualified both varsity boys and girls teams at Central Coosa to host the Class 3A, Area 6 Playoffs. The varsity girls’ semifinal round sets the Lady Cougars against B.B. Comer at 5 p.m. Monday. At 5 p.m. Tuesday Randolph County and Beulah face off. The winners of each night’s game then play in a final round at 5 p.m. Thursday for the area championship and the chance to move on to state. The Central Coosa varsity girls come into the playoffs with an undefeated region record and an overall season record of 16-5. “We’ve been very blessed this year,” said Lady Cougars head coach Syreeta McKinney. As the Central Coosa varsity girls head into Monday’s game, they’ll be facing a familiar opponent in B.B. Comer. But its one the Lady Cougars have defeated twice in the regular season. However, McKinney isn’t underestimating the opposition.
“They are a young team but the potential is there,” the coach said. “One thing I’ve noticed is they have really grown as a team.” Still, the Lady Cougars aim to come away from the semifinal round with a win. “It’s our job to play up to our highest potential,” McKinney said. The Class 3A, Area 6 varsity boys’ playoff schedule is a carbon copy of the girls’, except each night’s game starts at 6:30 p.m. The Cougars come into the post-season with a record of 14-11 overall and 6-2 in the region. Plus, they also bested B.B. Comer twice in the regular season. So their chance of moving on to the finals looks pretty good.
Benjamin Russell heads to 6A playoffs
In the Class 6A, Area 6 Playoffs, Benjamin Russell varsity girls head to Opelika Monday to play Wetumpka at 6 p.m. The victor of the matchup returns Wednesday to play Opelika in the final round for the area championship. The Lady Wildcats have a good chance of getting past Wetumpka after defeating them twice in the regular season. Plus, BRHS heads into the matchup with a season record of 11-9 overall and 2-3 in the region. Taking the area champion-
ship could be a challenge for the BRHS varsity boys, who come into the post-season after struggling with a record of 8-13 overall and 2-1 in the region. The Wildcats head to Wetumpka Tuesday to play Opelika in a semifinal round at 6 p.m. The winner then returns Friday to play Wetumpka in a final round for the area championship at 6 p.m. Despite the Wildcats’ season struggles, BRHS has a good chance of getting to the finals, as they defeated Opelika twice in the regular season. However, it might be even more challenging to get past Wetumpka after falling to the playoff hosts twice in the regular season.
Horseshoe Bend, Reeltown face 2A playoff challenges
Horseshoe Bend and Reeltown varsity girls head to Lannett Monday for the Class 2A, Area 8 Playoff Semifinals. At 5 p.m. Horseshoe Bend plays LaFayette. Then at 6:30 p.m., Reeltown tips off with Lanett. Winners of each game return Wednesday for a final round at 6 p.m. for the area championship. The post-season could be a challenge for the Lady Rebels, who have only won two games this season. The same can be said for the Horseshoe Bend varsity girls, who come into the playoffs with a season record of 10-11 overall and 2-6 in the region. After all, in
the regular season they lost contests with Lanett and LaFayette. The playoff outlook for both the Reeltown and Horseshoe Bend varsity boys may also be bleak. The 2A, Area 8 varsity boys semifinal round is set for Monday at Lanett. Horseshoe Bend and LaFayette play at 5 p.m. and Reeltown tips off with Lanett at 6:30 p.m. Winners return Wednesday for the final round at 6 p.m. for the area championship. Like their female counterparts, the Rebels come into the postseason with only two wins under their belts. With a season record of 10-11 overall and 2-5 in the region, the Generals come into the playoffs with two losses each to both LaFayette and Lanett. That makes for quite a challenging playoff prospect for both Reeltown and Horseshoe Bend.
Dadeville heads to 4A Playoffs.
The Dadeville varsity boys head to Elmore County Monday for the Class 4A, Area 5 Playoffs. There the Tigers play Holtville at 7 p.m. in the first round. The winner then returns Wednesday to match up with Elmore County at 8:30 p.m. in a semifinal game that follows Tallassee and Alabama Christian Academy at 5:30 p.m. Semifinal winners come back to Elmore County one more time. On Friday they face off at 7:30 p.m. in a final round for the area championship.
The Tigers have a challenging post-season in store. They come into it with a record of 5-13 overall and 4-4 in the region. However, they’ve already overcome Holtville twice in the regular season. If third time’s a charm, they’ll make it to the semis. Overtaking Elmore County will take the Tigers’ A-game. But they’ve shown they can do it after winning one of the teams’ two regular-season matchups. That holds true for Dadeville’s regular season games with Tallassee and ACA. So it’s up to the Tigers to live up to their potential if they want to make it to state. The Lady Tigers have even more of an uphill battle in the post-season after struggling in the regular season with only three wins. With a schedule pretty much identical to their male counterparts, the Dadeville varsity girls head to Elmore County Monday for the playoffs. There they face Holtville at 5:30 p.m. in the first round. The winner returns Wednesday to play Elmore County at 7 p.m. in a semifinal game that follows Alabama Christian Academy and Tallassee’s 4 p.m. game. Semifinal winners come back Friday for a final round at 6 p.m., with the winner emerging area champion. So there’s plenty of post-season basketball for fans to enjoy this week.
