FROM GOOD TO GREAT

Director of the University of Alabama’a Economic Development Academy Neal Wade addresses business leaders at an workshop hosted by the Chamber of Commerce Tuesday .

UA economic development guru helps local leaders focus on goals By COREY ARWOOD Staff Writer

Officials from Alexander City, Tallapoosa and Coosa counties convened at Central Alabama Community College for an economic summit led by a senior economic developer to talk about the city, its identity and future. Neal Wade is the director of the University of Alabama’s Economic Development Academy and

he talked about how to transform a “good community” into a “great community.” Wade said Alexander City was “good community,” but it was not great. He said he knew of very few “great communities,” and that was the goal, to go from good to great. “Alex City has to decide what Alex City wants See WORKSHOP • Page 3

Traffic stop leads to two drug arrests Man and woman facing drug and weapon charges after Sunday bust By MITCH SNEED Editor

Supermoon Spectacular Kenneth Boone / The Outlook

Lake Martin provides stunning backdrop for lunar rarity STAFF REPORT TPI Staff

For two consecutive nights astronomers and photographers worldwide looked to the sky to catch a glimpse of the Supermoon or as the astronomical community calls it – perigee-syzygy. A Supermoon is the phenomenon that occurs when a full moon coincides with the closest approach the moon makes to the Earth on its orbit. This

week the moon was 221,526 miles away from the center of Earth. That’s about 31,000 miles closer than normal. To say that the occurrence is rare would be an understatement. This Supermoon was the first since Jan. 26, 1948. Another close pass will not happen again until Nov. 25, 2034. So if you missed your shot, be sure and set an alarm on your phone or mark your calendars for the next one. According to NASA, the closest Supermoon of the century will occur

on Dec. 6, 2052. While newspapers and the internet have featured images from around the globe, owner Kenneth Boone, photographers Cliff Williams and Audra Spears and editor Mitch Sneed armed themselves with cameras Sunday and Monday nights to capture perigee-syzygy against some of the most beautiful backdrops anywhere – right here in Tallapoosa County. See page 11 inside for our own TPI Supermoon spectacular.

A Sunday afternoon traffic stop led to the arrest of two people on drug charges, according to Sgt. Fred White of the Tallapoosa County Narcotics Task Force. A Tallapoosa County Sheriff’s Department deputy initiated a traffic stop on U.S. Highway 280 Sunday on a vehicle occupied by 45-year-old Joseph Parrish Decatur of Nauvoo, Alabama and 54-year-old Shirley Angela Peppers, Decatur also of Nauvoo. According to White, the confirmed that the vehicle operator was driving without a valid license. “He also noticed the strong odor of marijuana,” White said. “Consent to search was given by the driver and during a pat Peppers down for weapons is when a large quantity of narcotics was recovered.” Both subjects of the car were detained and the “on call” narcotics investigator was contacted, according to White. Approximately 35 grams of crystal methamphetamine, 14 grams of marijuana, 14 Hydrocodone pills along with Oxycontin and Oxycodone were recovered. Further See BUST • Page 2

DEAR ABBY: I’m a freshman in college, blessed to have an internship in the office of a nonprofit organization. As time goes by, and as trust is built, I am being given more responsibilities. One of them is writing letters for various purposes -- thank-you letters, invitations, congratulatory letters, etc. When I was in high school, I was never taught the format for how to write these kinds of letters. I get confused about spacing and how to address people with titles. It’s a shame that technology has left my generation so clueless on how to do important stuff. Is there a resource for letter writing available from you? I need it because I feel awkward always having to ask other staff members. -- CLUELESS INTERN IN ALGONQUIN, ILL. DEAR INTERN: Judging from the high volume of mail I receive, letter composition is something that many people besides you struggle with. I publish a booklet called “How to

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for four years. I love him deeply, but I have lied to him about certain things. I feel guilty about it, but I can’t bring myself to tell him the truth because he has a temper. One lie I told was that I was laid off from my previous job, but I really quit. He didn’t want me quitting, but I did it for my own good. I was having a nervous breakdown, and all I felt were negative thoughts when I worked there. Although I found a better job months later, I never summoned up the courage to tell him the truth. We don’t live together. I’m 24 and he’s 26. Do you think this lack of communication is

He doesn’t abuse me, but he won’t talk to me if he doesn’t have things his way. -UNSURE IN THE WEST DEAR UNSURE: I’m glad you’re not living together because if you were, your problem would have serious ramifications. Your boyfriend may not be physically abusive, but he IS controlling. Subjecting you to the silent treatment is emotionally abusive, and so was deciding “for” you that you should remain at a job that’s stressful and unpleasant. You may love this man deeply, but from my perspective the relationship isn’t a healthy one. If you want to end it, you are justified. * Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

The Outlook

Cummings lit up the room when she entered

his week’s article has been difficult to write about due to the passing of one of the finest ACPR 50+ member and volunteer leader. Virginia Cummings became a part of my life 11 years and 3 months ago. We loved walking in the park together. She had passion for fitness and helped me to grow the senior fitness program both on land and at the pool. We both could pretty much wear the same size in clothes and shoes. She was the best at finding the bargains and her sense of style was classy and fun! She told me many a stories about being “The Voice” of Russell Corporation. She shared great memories of her first husband and the sadness when he passed. She told me all about her pregnancies with both of her daughters and lots of sweet stories about their childhood. She admired her mother

very much and loved her family dearly. We enjoyed talking about her kinfolks in Clay County and the excitement of the births of her grandbabies. Virginia shared with me the beginning of her relationship later marriage with Andy Cummings. She was so tickled when she first told me how he sent her a dozen red roses just to get her attention and ask her on a date! Bowling became the game that they shared together. They were always going somewhere to bowl and participate in tournaments. Virginia had a great competitive spirit both for bowling and for life. She never gave up throughout her several diagnoses of

cancer during her life time. Virginia was always a well put together lady, but I sure did love teasing her about the time her stylist turned her hair color just a little too much red and after several rounds of shampooing to get it out, Virginia vowed to never try a new look! Never again she said would she consider a different color other than blonde! We went on several cruises together and she would come to dinner dressed to the nines. I always thought to myself that when I grow older, I want to be just like Virginia. Both her and I would often talk about the fact that just because one aged, it didn’t mean that you had to look or act like it. Wear what makes you feel great and get out there and dance! Andy was her last love during the final years of her life and she loved him. I can remember him saying such sweet words of admiration

and the look on his face whenever she came into a room. They have had many a great adventures together. They have been each other’s light and their smiles were evidence of their glowing love for one another. Virginia lived life and lived it to the fullest. She will be greatly missed, but we know that she is no longer in pain and at peace. The Thanksgiving Luncheon has been rescheduled for Thursday, Nov. 17 at noon. Guest speaker will be Pastor Josh Sammons of Hillabee Baptist Church. Hope to see you there! Until next time, keep a smile on your face and love in your heart.

to be, it’s not going to be Birmingham, it’s not going to be Montgomery, it’s not going to be Auburn, it’s going to be Alex City,” Wade said. “Don’t try to be something you can’t be, be something you can be and be the best at it you possibly can, and then sell it.” Wade carries a lengthy list of credentials from his roughly 27 years’ experience with the state, numerous private entities and organizations. He also served as the director of what is now the state’s Department of Commerce, which was called the Alabama Development Office. He talked with at least 20 or so local leaders for almost two hours Tuesday as they delved deep into Alex City’s past and present to get at its future potential. The Chamber’s Vice President of Business Development Jacob Meacham opened the session that was part of the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce’s economic development workshop series. Executive Director of Lake Martin Area Economic Development Don McClellan introduced Wade, saying he had known him for years and collaborated with him in the past. New Alexander City Mayor Jim Nabors and three of the four new council members sat on the front row in the Betty Carol Graham Center Technology Center. “I think you saw here today different groups got there own little agenda but everybody’s coming together … he left us with good things to consider,” said Nabors after the workshop. Wade frequently mentioned the significance of the new city government. and stressed that in two years state governDistrict 1 County Commissioner T.C. Coley along with several Chamber, LMAEDA members and Coosa County officials along with CACC’s Technical School Director Mike Mann were also in the audience. After the meeting Coley described the session as “beneficial,” especially the consideration given to determining the future of the city’s image. “Do we want to be the Gateway to Lake Martin, is there some other unique opportunity

that we can craft our identity around because that really drives how we would invest resources how we would market and promote that community,” said Coley. Wade talked on changes in economic development and said where the mantra used to be “location, location, location,” it was now the workforce that mattered most. “It is a numbers game … It’s all about numbers,” said Wade. “You really have to look at economic development as a package from a total standpoint not just recruiting if your going to grow your economy.” He described it as an investment to be made, not a commodity that is quickly acquired. And he said education played a primary role in developing a workforce largest role in developing a workforce. “We over glorify having students going to four year colleges when we should be focusing as much on getting them into trade schools, technical schools, two year colleges to earn a certificate or degree where they can go to work,” Wade said. Wade went through what economic development would be for Alex City point by point with a comprehensive look at the subject leading from workforce into strategic plans for the city and crafting its image. He later led the group on a group analysis in which means each person described what they felt the city’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats were. Several strengths listed by various members of the group were: K-12 school system, CACC, healthcare, children’s sports options, Lake Martin and area churches. Some weaknesses that were mentioned consisted of: poor infrastructure, low income levels, low quality housing, a lack of fiber optic cable and shoppers leaving the area. Meacham added an item to the strengths list that he said he saw from recent elections, saying, “We are a unified city.” “I think that you’ve got a real foundation to really identify what Alexander City wants to be and then you’ve got the leadership in the community to take it where it wants to go,” Wade said.

Shop local and I help a friend and yourself

efore Halloween, most retailers had already turned their attention to the holiday shopping season. Christmas trees, decorations and gift ideas magically appeared inside stores as they worked to get in front of shoppers who were trying to get an early start. Finding that perfect gift for a loved one and the joy it brings the recipient create priceless memories that can be treasured for a lifetime. Local groups in Alexander City and in Dadeville are working to create some excitement to help keep local shopping dollars at home. Holiday open houses in both cities have drawn people into the shops of area merchants. Last week in Dadeville hundreds attended the event, while Sunday brought a festive atmosphere to the downtown Alexander City area and the Alexander City Chamber of Commerce and MainStreet teamed to set a holiday mood. While for shoppers it is about giving, for merchants this is the season for receiving. Many count on this time of year to make or break their bottom line. This year, the Alabama Retail Association predicts holiday sales in the state could reach as high as $11.4 billion in taxed sales during the months of November and December alone. Through September of this year, Alabama has averaged 3 percent growth each month over the same month last year. If sales continue along that trajectory, Alabama could reach $11.2 billion in November and December. Christmas is an important time in our area, but Lake Martin and the visitors it brings makes the summer months equally important for local merchants. They say a strong holiday season can be the difference between black and red in the bottom line. City officials also say the holiday tax season can help the city’s bottom line as well. Now you can see why retailers put so much emphasis on this time of year. So shop local when you can. You will actually be helping a friend and yourself as well.

A salute to 'The Maine Man'

’d been to Maine once before, kind of. My unit stopped there coming back from the land of sand in 2008. I don’t usually count airports when tallying up places I’ve visited, but that layover had an asterisk next to it. The flag-waving, soldier hugging Maine Troop Greeters were there welcoming us home as we entered the airport. Not only that, I had a bowl of real New England clam chowder—not any of that canned stuff. The whole experience was so great that I actually bought a t-shirt at the airport. Who does that? Not me. But, I did. Those pleasant memories took place in Bangor, which is where the Maine Speech Language Hearing Association’s conference was and where I was supposed to fly into; however, once I boarded my flight and sat down, I realized I’d booked my flight for Portland. Hey, it could have been worse. At least it wasn’t Portland, Oregon. I rented a teeny tiny car and drove the two hours to Bangor. It wasn’t a bad drive at all. I thought the foliage was spectacular but apparently I missed its peak by about two weeks. After checking into my hotel, I hopped in my go-cart and went down to a restaurant on the Penobscot River. Since the association was handling my meals, I was

JODY FULLER Guest Columnist

able to get what I wanted. If not, I would’ve been eating Ramen noodles in my room. I ordered clam chowder and lobster rolls. It was so ridiculously good. The manager walked by, noticed my Auburn jacket, and belted out a “War Eagle!” Those are always pleasant words to my ears no matter where I am. The best part was when he mentioned, without knowing where I was from, that he had a friend and fellow Marine from Opelika. I knew it was legit, because he pronounced Opelika correctly. It just happened that I’d just talked to that friend on the phone two weeks earlier, so we took a selfie and sent it to him. It truly is a small world; you just have to be willing to talk to others to figure that out. I always like to get out and see the sights and meet the local folks wherever my travels take me. There was a crusty old sergeant I once served with who said, “When in Rome, do what the Romanians do.” I’m not sure what the Romanians do in Rome, but I know I sure had a good time in Bangor. The people there are solid.

Hospitality doesn’t solely belong to the south. The conference itself was fantastic. I met many friendly, smart, and caring professionals who wake up each day just to improve the lives of others. I wasn’t sure they’d understand me, but it had nothing to do with my stutter. They don’t get very many southern accents up that way. Thankfully, I received a lot of positive feedback. After my part, some of the ladies invited me to dinner at a restaurant across the street, but first they had to go back to the hotel, which was also across the street. I went on over to the restaurant. Have you ever had to wait on a woman? Have you ever had to wait on seven of them at one time? It was like waiting in dog years. I started to walk back but didn’t get very far when I saw the Magnificent Seven coming my way. I had an amazing trip. I had great food but more importantly, I met great people, and, in my opinion, life is only as good as the people you meet and surround yourself with. I’d say I’ve been blessed in that department.

Today’s

Letters to the Editor

‘God has smiled on our country in this dark hour’ Dear Editor, I feel compelled to respond to the letter of Ms. Wyckoff in this past weekend paper. She has invoked biblical text in opposition to the election of Donald Trump for president of the United States. She, like the street demonstrators and like the liberal and progressive pundits are expressing their anguish and dismay at the election by our democratic process the next president of the United States. It is quite natural for his opponents to express their dismay to his election by over 300 electoral votes. By the same token it is natu-

ral for his supporters to revel in their victory over the corruption and elitism of the Democrats who have worn down the economy, the Judeo-Christian values, the self assurance and job base of the working middle class, and international integrity of the country over the past 8 years. It is truly amazing that the silent middle class, working people, and God fearing people found the courage and the anger necessary to rise up and resist the status quo of BOTH parties. This election gives me encouragement that America is not done yet, and that there is greatness in our future. I still believe that we are

God’s chosen people, and that when we follow Judeo-Christian ethics and the Constitution, we will thrive. God has smiled on our country in this dark hour and has brought us into the light. As a nation we should rally behind our President and help him to restore our country to the greatness that we can have. There will always be nay sayers, but their voices will be only a whimper compared to the joy of those who work for a living, praise God, and love our country. Billy Sellers Alexander City

Congratulations President-elect Donald Trump Dear Editor, The voters have spoken, the time for opposition is over. Protestors fill the the streets are wasting their time and energy. Trump is our 45th president. Why don’t protestors go to Chicago and protest the 31,000 shootings this year with over 600 killed. Protest the failing schools, heroin epidemic, protest manufacturing still leaving America for low-wage countries, protest gang-controlled neighborhoods. Maybe then political hacks will try to fix these problems. Channel your frustration and anger on real problems that our government on both sides continue to ignore. America is the greatest country on earth. We are the country

that everyone wants to come to from all over the world. We must never take this great country for granted. Political hacks on both sides did their best to stop Trump and keep the “status quo” but they failed to see that. Republicans and Democrats saw Trump as a way to fix the problems we the citizens face. No one else has even tried. How dare our government continue to ignore the disappearing struggling middle class, VA scandals, poor getting poorer. They stood by as the textile industry left America along with too many other manufacturing jobs. These jobs are alive here in America. These politicians on

both sides continue to enjoy their great lives as way too many American taxpayers struggle. There is so much to be done, let’s work together, the best is yet to come. Our vets must always be a priority. The V.A. scandals are shameful. These brave men and women and their families are the reason America is strong and free. They are our heroes. They put country first. America is so proud of our courageous armed forces. It’s time to stop the division and hate. Let’s work for all Americans. God bless our troops and God Bless America.

Trump puts egg on the faces of pundits

onald J. Trump’s election to the presidency left the pollsters and pundits from every media outlet and news network with egg on their face. It also left them with their mouths ajar in shock. Every poll and every pundit had Hillary Clinton winning the presidency. It was assumed that the Electoral College advantage for a liberal Democrat was impregnable. Trump’s amazing surprise victory will be recorded as one of the biggest upsets in modern political history. It will be compared to and was very similar to the upset victory that Harry Truman pulled off against Thomas Dewey in 1948. There are uncanny similarities between the Truman come from behind victory and the Trump win. All polls showed Truman losing. However, in the final weeks of the campaign, Truman was bringing out large crowds as he spoke from the back of a train in what was referred to as his Whistle Stop Tour. Toward the very end his crowds were growing larger and larger. Like Trump, Truman was plain spoken and the crowds would shout out, “Give ‘em hell Harry!” He would retort, “That’s what I plan to do.” It was so assumed that Truman would lose that there was a famous photo of Truman holding up a copy of the “Chicago Tribune” with the headline, “Dewey Wins.” Similarly, there is this year’s revelation that “Newsweek” in order to get to press early had Hillary winning with the headline, “Madam President.” They had to recall millions of copies. Also, I have had to admit that yours truly had written a much different headline story on the Monday before Tuesday’s Election Day for today’s column. There is no question that we live in two distinct, diverse, and different philosophical Americas when it comes to presidential politics. It appears that we in the south are not the only folks in America who believe in a balanced budget, a strong

military, and sustaining a strong agricultural base. In addition, we may not be alone when it comes to being pro-life and pro-gun. The rest of the country may be more like us than we think. We obviously have some southern thinking folks in the Midwestern Rust Belt states In short Trump won the election because white conservatives all over the country turned out in mass as though their nation depended on it and they probably were right. Evangelical Christian voters realized the importance of the impending Supreme Court appointments. That will indeed be Trump’s most lasting legacy. He will appoint conservatives to our Supreme Court, and they will be confirmed by a Republican U.S. Senate. The Republican control of the Senate is another victory for conservatives throughout the country. Trump will be a Republican President with a Republican U.S. Senate and a Republican conservative U.S. House. This Republican governing majority will be immensely beneficial to Alabama. Six of our seven congressmen are Republicans. More importantly our two Senators, Richard Shelby and Jeff Sessions, are in the majority in the Senate. Shelby will be beginning his sixth six-year term. Within two years he will break the record set by John Sparkman as the longest serving Senator in Alabama history. But, more significantly, he will become Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. The Trump election changes the entire political landscape in Alabama politics. More than likely, President Trump will appoint our Senator, Jeff Sessions, to a major cabinet position – more than likely

Secretary of Defense. Sessions will probably accept this prestigious and powerful post. Folks this leaves a vacant U.S. Senate seat in the Heart of Dixie. There are probably a dozen major viable political figures who will pursue this coveted once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Bentley will appoint Session’s successor. However, whoever gets the appointment will have to run in 2018. Bentley has been unorthodox and unpredictable in his appointments. This one is by far the most significant of his tenure. Some speculation is that he might appoint himself or a close advisor. Others say he will appoint Attorney General Luther Strange, who will probably run for the post in 2018, regardless. Some say the inside track belongs to Perry Hooper Jr., who has statewide name identification from his role as Trump’s front man in the state and has a staunch conservative lifetime GOP pedigree. If you thought we had a good year awaiting us in 2018, it has become exponentially more titillating. We will have a governor’s race, U.S. Senate race, and every constitutional office is up for grabs, as well as all 140 State House and Senate seats. It will be quite a year and believe me, it has already begun. See you next week.

‘Cooler weather invites hot tea’

get goose-bumps thinking about family and Veterans of past Wars feeling melancholy. I share a large portion of this letter written about World War I. A letter that my grandfather Albert Raphael de Broise sent to his mother Felicia Dietz of Raffles Hotel (Singapore) dated Oct. 18, 1915, having been translated, was written in French. “Lately I’ve been involved in a big battle which lasted 5 days. What I have witnessed then will be engraved upon my memory as though on stone. I can guarantee you. You know, the day we came out of our trench to attack the German trenches, I can assure you those flying bullets and parts that would fall a few meters away from us did not make it easy. Especially when we had maybe ten riffles aiming at us and spitting bullets and that you could see those poor ‘Poilus’ drop like flies. You know, it was somewhat beautiful to see us dashing on German trenches. When they’d be out of ammunition, they would remove their equipment and say: Comrade, and we were good enough not to kill them, but to make them prisoners.

ROSIE MORGAN Nixburg/ Equality

Well I’m telling you again, I’m surprised I’m still here because you know, I’ve never seen anything like this before and there’s been a lot of people killed and injured, but this time again, I’ve escaped it and it’s a miracle. I’ve had a lot of guys being killed around me! Now, as you once told me, when it comes to perform my duties, I will always strive to do so and just as well as anyone else. In the most recent attack, since I was with the Grenadiers, I actually had to be frontline, we were the ones to enter German trenches first and obviously, it’s usually those who go first who take the most risks; very few are those Grenadiers who made it alive, in fact, they’ve almost all been killed, but enough talking about that. I don’t want to think about it anymore. It’s this tin hat I told you about that saved my life.” My grandfather survived, also made it

through World War II incarcerated at Changi POW Prison, living into his eighties. I wish I’d met Albert de Broise, he was a civil-engineer and spoke six languages fluently. Happy Birthday to Deborah DuPriest of Kellyton Nov. 20; 57th Anniversary for Herb and Irma Traylor of Equality, and Tory Phillips of Alex City’s birthday are Nov. 24. Cooler weather, invites hot tea, and I’m keeping the tradition now that I am back from England where every occasion calls for a “nice cup of tea”. If you want to share my ‘Ladies Afternoon Tea’, make your reservation today (256.234.0957) (rosie@lakedog.net) for Saturday, Nov. 19 2 p.m. Serving English style savouries, sweets and Tea the Queen drinks. Limited seating/$10 person at Nixburg House. So much has changed in England during the years I have been here, but then things change everywhere.

helpful and wellmannered, just like the South. Something you just don’t get everywhere in the world. I was still able to walk through the alleyways from my Mum’s house to the local shops/post office without fear, and those I met on the way said ‘goodmorning’ and smiled. I was reminded many years ago that to get elected for anything in Coosa County you had to run as a Democrat. Well look at our splendid Sheriff, and that Coosans’ overwhelmingly voted for President-elect Trump. I’d say people are tired of idle promises that just didn’t happen even with hard work and they are ready to work to have our country great again. Those protesting the vote, have no cause; just immaturity. Let’s see how many ‘stars’ actually move to Canada as promised. Until next week, keep smiling.

Auburn wilts against Georgia ... again

he Auburn Tigers continued what’s frighteningly becoming an annual tradition this past weekend when they regurgitated a performance reminiscent of mango chutney and burnt hair against the Georgia Bulldogs. For all of those scoring at home, that brings Auburn’s record against UGA to a paltry 2-9 in the last eleven meetings. Of course, the defense was stellar as usual only allowing six points, but the offense achieved an almost historic level of ineptitude and pungent stench. OC Rhett Lashlee and crew accounted for a grand total of 164 yards through four quarters of football. The Tigers couldn’t even manage a single first down in the second half. If all that wasn’t bad enough, the offense also produced seven points for the Bulldogs as a result of an interception run back for a touchdown. I realize most of you already know these things, but this is kind of like therapy for me to hash it out so bear with me. It was an incredibly disappointing performance. I’m frustrated. You’re frustrated. We’re all frustrated. So, why did this happen? Yet again? To say Auburn is a little banged up right now would be an understatement. It’s not an excuse. It’s a reality. The leading rusher in the SEC was standing on the sidelines in street clothes. Kamryn Pettway’s absence obviously made an enormous difference. To be fair, most teams would be severely hampered by losing their top offensive player. If the reports are believable (which is debatable with Malzahn), QB Sean White hasn’t practiced in two weeks due to an undisclosed (it’s his shoulder) injury. He didn’t look anywhere close to 100 percent against Georgia and was, in the end, totally ineffective. That in itself raises a legitimate question. Why did White start if he was injured? The coaching staff clearly didn’t want to play him against Vanderbilt but was forced to because the game was on the line. He performed admirably and the Tigers won. I suspect the coaching staff reasonably expected a similar performance against Georgia with the same amount of preparation. Unfortunately, he didn’t get nearly the protection against the Bulldogs that he got against the Commodores and things went downhill from there. Backup RB Kerryon Johnson still has a bad ankle and backup to the backup RB Stanton Truitt also injured his leg in the first half. FB Chandler Cox is an integral blocker in the run scheme and even he left the game with a leg injury. All hands were most certainly not on deck. I have no doubt Gus Malzahn and company started Sean White because they believed he gave the Tigers the best chance to win. However, it was painfully obvious to anyone with a pulse that White was incapable of moving the offense in the final two quarters. Where was Plan B? Where was John Franklin? It’s inconceivable that a major college coaching staff would enter a game with a questionable QB and not have a backup plan. Obviously, they see Franklin every day and even more obviously have no faith in him whatsoever. His scholarship was a complete waste or the coaching staff is so unimaginably stubborn they refuse to make adjustments to the game plan in the moment. Either way, this loss drudges up lingering questions of competency regarding the Auburn offensive coaching staff. Andy Graham writes a regular sports column for Tallapoosa Publishers.

Cougars prep for tip off Central Coosa seeks cohesion by season opener By CATHY HIGGINS Sports Editor

After making it to regionals last year, the Central Coosa varsity boys basketball team has a lot to live up to. The Cougars are coming into the season with nine seniors and three sophomores. But head coach Shane Smith says that doesn’t mean the team is stacked with veteran players. “You would think we’re an older team,” he said. “But actually a lot of our seniors did not get a lot of playing time last year. Even this year some of my younger kids are starting in front of my seniors.” The Cougars are still looking to regroup after two starters graduated last year. “Three starters are back,” Smith said. The coach said this year’s varsity team has the potential to excel on the court. “We went 8-1 this summer,” Smith said. “The only team we lost to was a 7A, Jeff Davis out of Montgomery. Based off that we think we’re going to be very good. But I have yet to see that this year in practice so far.” The coach says one reason the Cougars aren’t reaching their potential in practice is a lack of cohesion. “Even though we have a lot of the same players, it’s still a different team than we had last year,” Smith said. That lack of cohesion could be because the entire team has only been practicing together for a few weeks, once those playing on the football team were free. “Before our first game we’ll have about three weeks of practice in them,” Smith said. That includes senior Raymond Graham, as well as senior J.T. Hill and sophomore Cason Robins, both of whom are working out football injuries. “They’re still trying to work out their soreness,” Smith said. Another injury the Cougars are contending with is from stand out senior post player Tyius Evans, who injured his knee in a car wreck less than two weeks ago. “He’s somebody we’re definitely going to have to get going,” Smith said. At the other end of the spectrum, the coach is looking for freshman Noel Jones and sophomore Omar Gaddis to be standout players on the team this season. “Among our older players, I’m really expecting a lot out of Tyus Maxwell. “He’s been our scoring leader for the past two years and he can play at the next level.” Also expected to shine for Central Coosa are Jaylen Street, senior transfer from Opelika Tae Griffin and junior Alexander City transfer Shydarian Reese, who joins the team on the court after Christmas. Central Coosa also has some strong leaders on the team, including Maxwell, who quietly leads by example, along with Evans and Graham, who are vocal leaders. “But I have a good group of kids,” Smith said. “We’re pretty much all on the same page.” With a good assessment of the Cougars under his belt, Smith is looking for the team to come together to start the season on a strong note. “I think we’ve just got to keep on working and hope it

comes together before Friday night,” he said. “Maybe this week since we’ve got everybody here, it will all come together like I’d hoped it would.” That’s vital as the Cougars are walking into a difficult season with a schedule that includes 4A Talladega, Clay Central, 2A LaFayette, 4A Dadeville and 6A Benjamin Russell. “That’s always a big rivalry game,” Smith said. “That’s fun.” The Cougars are looking

to gain strength from such a difficult schedule. “Everybody we play is bigger than us,” Smith said. “But for us to get where we want to go, playing these bigger, stronger, faster, better teams than us, we’ll be able to compete on the 3A level pretty well like we did last year.” Central Coosa opens the season at home Friday against 5A Sylacauga. “Sylacauga’s always tough,” Smith said. “They’re always ready to play.

Copeland does a very good job with them. I just hope we’re ready to play.” When they do play, Smith expects Sylacauga to fullcourt press his Cougars. “This year all we’ve worked on is breaking the press,” he said. “We’ve worked on it every day. Hopefully we’ll be ready for it.” Tip off of Friday’s season opener against Sylacauga is 4:30 p.m. at Joe N. Belyeu Gymnasium at Central Coosa.
