The Trussville Tribune
Old School vs. New School
Separated by 40 years, HT hoops coaches feed off each other’s experience, enthusiasm
by Gary Lloyd
Editor
It’s a rare thing for a high
school to have a coach in
his late 60s or younger
than 30.
Hewitt-Trussville
has
both.
First-year varsity boys
basketball coach Mike
Dutton is 68. Second-year
varsity girls basketball
coach Stu Stuedeman is 28.
Their coaching styles are
as different as their tastes
in music -- though both
appreciate Frank Sinatra
-- as unalike as Dutton’s
plain white Nike shoes and
Stuedeman’s bright yellow
pair.
Dutton runs a disciplined practice with ample
stretching time, leading
Stuedeman to peg his players as “soldiers.” Stuedeman’s practices are loose,
though he does require
shirttails to be tucked in.
“I admire that so much,
because I could never do
that,” Stuedeman said of
Dutton’s practices. “I think
he’s doing a great service
to these kids.”
Dutton said he has a
“great relationship” with
Stuedeman.
“Our philosophies are
different, the way we go

about things,” Dutton said.
“He couldn’t do things
like I could, I couldn’t do
things like he could.”
Stuedeman wants to impress more experienced
colleagues by running all
types of technical offenses,
to show that he is worthy.
Then, he watches Dutton’s
team run its fast break offense, a blink-and-youmissed-it style, a template
Dutton has followed for
years. “It’s unbelievable,”
Stuedeman said.
Growing up, Dutton emulated Boston Celtics great
Bob Cousy, a guard who
could pass, handle and
score. Cousy retired from
basketball more than two
decades before Stuedeman
was born. Stuedeman’s favorite player growing up
was Squeaky Johnson, a
point guard at UAB from
2003 to 2006.
Dutton credits his basketball success to four
people: former Banks High
School coach Albert Morton; junior college coach
Willard Tate; former Montevallo coach Leon Davis; and former Lewis M.
Smith Elementary School
Principal Bill Anderson,
who gave him his first job.
Stuedeman credits several:
his sisters Les Stuedeman
and Vann Stuedeman, who
are head softball coaches at
the University of AlabamaHuntsville and Mississippi
State University, respectively; Vestavia Hills boys
basketball coach George
Hatchett; University of
Alabama-Huntsville coach
Lennie Acuff; and former
Alabama head coach Mark
Gottfried.
Despite contrasting phi-
losophies, the coaches
share a high level of passion for the game. Dutton
said he likes people who
do things they’re passionate about.
“It’s obvious with Coach
Stu here, how much he
loves it,” Dutton said.
“He’s dedicated to those
girls and they’re improving like crazy.”
Dutton said Stuedeman has all the qualities a
young coach should have,
qualities that fire him up
for the 2013-2014 season,
which begins today for the
girls and next week for the
boys.
Stuedeman said Dutton
is the “epitome of the way
to be,” a relentless worker
who takes the road less
traveled.
“His passion is unbelievable,” Stuedeman said. “He
talks about my passion.
I see his passion and it’s
unbelievable. He’s always
trying to learn. He goes to
clinics and he works. It encourages me because I see
him and I see I’m not going
to lose this passion because
I love to do it. He hasn’t
lost it, and he’s 68.”

Hewitt-Trussville gets gutty win over Gadsden City
by Gary Lloyd
Editor
A lot of teams locked into playoff spots rested starters Friday
and took losses that seemingly
didn’t matter.
Not Hewitt-Trussville.
The Huskies (5-5, 4-3, Class
6A, Region 6) scored on thirdand-goal from the 19-yard line on
a pass from Blake Bailey to DeMarcus Kelly with 5:20 to play
and held on late to beat Gadsden
City 17-14 at Jack Wood Stadium.
Kelly got inside leverage on
the Titans cornerback and caught
the fade in the right corner of the
end zone.
“That was a tremendous
route,” said Hewitt-Trussville
head coach Hal Riddle.
The game was close all the
way through.
Gadsden City quarterback Ahmad DeRamus found Gabriel
Ford for a 10-yard touchdown
on the first play after HewittTrussville turned the ball over on
a punt. Hewitt-Trussville cut the
deficit to 7-3 late in the field goal
when T.J. McGettigan booted a
30-yard field goal.
Senior running back Peyton
Palmer capped a 14-play, 90yard drive late in the second
quarter with a 1-yard touchdown
run. It gave Hewitt-Trussville a
10-7 halftime lead.
DeRamus hit DaVeunte Blount
for a 72-yard TD on Gadsden
City’s second drive of the third
quarter, giving the Titans (5-5,
5-2 Class 6A, Region 7) a 14-10
advantage.
Bailey then hit Kelly for the
decisive touchdown with 5:20
remaining in the game, capping a
10-play, 85-yard drive. Gadsden
City made its way to the Huskies’
34-yard line with less than three
minutes to play, but DeRamus
slipped for an eight-yard loss on
fourth-and-four.
“It was a perfect night,” said
Kelly, who finished with 10 receptions for 149 yards and a
score.
Bailey completed 22-of-34
passes for 267 yards and a touchdown. Palmer rushed the ball 19
hard times for 81 yards and a TD
for the Huskies.
“He took a beating,” Riddle
said of Palmer. “He stuck it up in
there tonight like a man.”
Senior Riley Stokes caught
three passes for 43, junior Cyle
Moore caught four passes for 15
yards and senior Logan McAlpin
had an 18-yard grab.
Defensively, Hewitt-Trussville
held Gadsden City to 185 total
yards of offense, 72 of which
came on one play. Hunter Reid
led the defense with 10 tackles
and four tackles for loss. Chris
Dixon added four tackles for loss
and a sack.

Clay-Chalkville Cougars rough up Oak Mountain
by Erik Harris
For The Tribune
It would’ve been easy
to call this one a tune-up
game.
No. 3 Clay-Chalkville
could have taken the field
with numerous backups
while the starters reminisced about their season
from the sideline and no
one would have fussed.
But that’s just not their
style.
Oak Mountain would
have no such luck on this
November night as Cougars head coach Jerry
Hood fielded his starters
and came away with a 5022 non-region victory to
cap off the regular season.
“We’re not overlooking,” Hood said. “We’ve
got to a point with this program where there’s lulls
during the year because
these seniors are 31-3 as a
sophomore, junior, senior.
So they have to overcome
being a kid.”
Junior Terrelle West
rushed 13 times for 194
yards and three touchdowns,
eclipsing
the
1,000-yard mark for the
season. Senior quarterback Hayden Moore completed 13-of-20 passes for
175 yards and a 19-yard
touchdown to Eric Blockum. Christopher Marshall
added two rushing touchdowns and T.J. Simmons
returned a kickoff 82 yards
for another score.
For Oak Mountain (4-6,
3-4, Class 6A, Region 4),
Harold Shader rushed 10
times for 94 yards. Warren Shadet added 47 yards
on the ground a TD, and
Galen Lloyd rushed for
37 yards and a score. Oak
Mountain rushed for 210
yards.
“That is a hard offense
to prepare for in a week
and they run it well,” Hood
said.
For Clay-Chalkville (91, 6-1 Class 6A, Region 7),
defensive back Torrence
Willis led the defense with
seven tackles. Nick McDaniel had 5.5 tackles, one
sack and a tackle for loss.
job of scheming us up, and
the stuff we thought would
work didn’t work.”
After their first drive
stalled out inside the red
zone, the Lions forced a
quick three and out, then
responded with an 11-play,
56-yard drive ending with
a 30-yard field goal to take
an early 3-0 lead.
On the Lions’ next drive,
Pinson Valley safety Keenan Toney came up with an
interception to set the Indians up on Briarwood’s 28yard line. On the next play,
senior quarterback Brooks
Garrett found Trey Underwood in the end zone to
give the Indians their only
lead of the game, 7-3.
It was all Lions from
there on out. Senior running back Ethan Simmons
rushed for two touchdowns
on Briarwood’s next two
possessions to put the Li-
ons up 17-7 going into
halftime.
After a scoreless third
quarter, Briarwood took a
23-7 lead on a 4-yard pass
from sophomore Walker
Lott to senior Andrew
Schaper. The Indians were
able to score on a 6-yard
run by junior running back
Nick Gibson, but it was too
little, too late.
Briarwood won by con-
trolling the game and shutting down the Indians’ running game. Briarwood held
the usually prolific Indians’
ground game to just 104
yards, and kept their own
offense on the field the majority of the game.
“They dominated the
line of scrimmage on
both sides,” Glover said.
“They’re a good football
team.”

Pinson Valley drops regular season finale at Briarwood
by Phil Gibson
For The Tribune
The Pinson Valley offensive machine could not find
a way to get rolling Friday
as the Indians lost 23-13 in
the regular season finale at
Briarwood Christian.
“We didn’t do a real good
job of blocking,” said Pinson Valley head coach Matt
Glover. “They did a good
One bright spot for the
Indians’ offense was junior wide receiver Trey
Underwood, who finished
the game with 10 receptions for 146 yards. Gibson
managed to finish with 118
yards rushing on 24 carries. He finishes the regular
season with 1,935 rushing
yards and 24 rushing TDs.

Huskies travel to Bob Jones
in spring game rematch
by Gary Lloyd
Editor
Hewitt-Trussville head
football coach Hal Riddle
knows about Bob Jones.
He remembers Tyler
Whalen, Bob Jones’ quarterback, throwing four
touchdown passes and
rushing for another in the
Patriots’ 35-0 spring game
win over Hewitt-Trussville
in May. That was one half
of varsity play. The Huskies’ junior varsity players won 21-7 in the second
half.
The two face off again in
the first round of the Class
6A state playoffs Friday in
Madison.
Bob Jones is 9-1 overall,
6-1 in Class 6A, Region 8.
Before it lost its first game
of the season to Austin on
Oct. 25, Bob Jones was
ranked No. 2 in the state.
In the last October poll, the
Patriots were rated No. 6 in
Class 6A.
Bob Jones can seemingly
win any type of game. The
defense, led by linebacker
David Norris, a UAB commitment, and linebacker
Nick Holman, a South
Florida commitment, can
make things tough for opposing offenses. Bob Jones
won at Florence 13-7,
earlier this season, forcing Florence QB Kendrick
Doss, an Ole Miss commit,
into three turnovers.
The offense is steady,
too. It averaged 33 points
per game, led by workhorse
running back Jay Rogers.
Rogers, as a junior last season, tallied 1,091 rushing
yards and 10 touchdowns.
Hewitt-Trussville isn’t
the same team from May.
Senior quarterback Blake
Bailey has found a groove
in the passing game with
Riley Stokes, Cyle Moore,
DeMarcus Kelly and others, completing 55-of-82
passes for 843 yards and
six touchdowns over his
past three games. For the
season, Bailey has completed 134-of-226 passes
for 1,848 yards and 15
TDs. He’s thrown six interceptions.
The defense has allowed
about 17 points per game
in its last three contests,
all wins. It’s coming off its
best performance, a 17-14
victory over Gadsden City
in which it totaled seven
tackles for losses and held
the Titans to just 185 total
yards.
Senior defensive end
Austin Wysor said that
game gave the team a lot
of confidence heading into
Friday’s playoff game. The
winner faces the winner
of the Oxford-Tuscaloosa
County game in the second
round.
“I feel like we can beat
anybody right now, the
way we’re playing,” Wysor
said.
Moody, Mortimer Jordan

Luis Gonzalez placed

Victor Larry took fourth
and Slade Shelnutt finished

The Hewitt-Trussville

Friday Feature:
Pinson, Hartselle face
off in first round
There are about 63 miles
between them, but Pinson
Valley and Hartselle have
developed a bit of a rivalry.
This is the third time the
teams have matched up,
all playoff games. In 2010,
Hartselle beat Pinson Valley 35-27 in the first round.
The Indians trailed 35-7
before a furious fourthquarter comeback fell
short.
In 2011, No. 2 Hartselle
continued its undefeated
season and eventually won
a Class 5A state championship after beating Pinson
Valley 22-21 on a field
goal with four seconds left
in the game.
During the 2013 Class
5A baseball playoffs,
Hartselle beat Pinson Valley in the state semifinals,
then defeated Spanish Fort
for the state championship.
On Friday at 7 p.m. at
Willie Adams Stadium,
the rivalry adds another
chapter. Hartselle is 8-2
overall, 5-2 in Class 5A,
Region 8. The Tigers are
the No. 3 seed from their
region, which includes
two of the best teams in
the state in Muscle Shoals
and Cullman. Those are
the only two teams to beat
Hartselle.
Pinson Valley is 6-4
overall, 5-2 in Class 5A,
Region 6. The Indians are
the No. 2 seed from their
region. The Indians have
had a bit of a seesaw season offensively, putting up
huge numbers at times and
then struggling to find the
end zone at others.
This game will likely be
defined by running backs.
For Hartselle, senior Masio
Stover and junior D’Andre
Mack lead the way. The
duo combined for 281
rushing yards and four
touchdowns in last week’s
win over Austin.
For Pinson Valley, junior
Nick Gibson is capable
of putting up those combined numbers by himself any night. He rushed
227 times for 1,935 yards
and 24 touchdowns in the
regular season. He rushed
for 460 yards and six TDs
against Mortimer Jordan,
and for another 369 yards
and six more scores against
Moody.
The winner of this game
faces the victor from
the McAdory-Fort Payne
game.
ished 24th.
Clay-Chalkville’s girls
did not place in the top six
but Jessica Ray was the
school’s top finisher, placing 46th.
The Hewitt-Trussville
boys also placed second
behind Mountain Brook.
Clay-Chalkville finished
eighth. Austin Norwood
was
Hewitt-Trussville’s
top finisher, placing second. Benjamin Knox finished eighth, Josh Dowds
12th, Hunter Thomason
13th, Sean Williamson
