Atmore YMCA Set To Close Permanently
September 27, 2018
The Atmore YMCA will permanently cease operations and close on November 30.
“This is a very difficult time for everyone associated with our Y,” said Robert Heard, chairman of the YMCA’s board of directors. “In recent years, we instituted a number of changes that improved our YMCA’s efficiency and effectiveness in meeting community needs. Unfortunately, we have not been able to generate financial resources necessary to sustain operations over the long term.”
The Atmore YMCA has served Atmore and surrounding areas since June 1995, but fundraising and membership efforts have not been enough to keep the facility open.
“Our YMCA has had the privilege of serving the children, families and communities of Atmore for 23 years,” Heard said. “We are grateful for the support we have received from our members, participants, volunteers, and donors. The board also wants to thank Paul Chason and his staff team. They have done everything in their power, against long odds, to keep our YMCA going. We deeply regret that closing down will affect so many wonderful people.”
Two full time and nine part-time employees will lose their jobs.
The Atmore YMCA announced a closure in 2014, but an influx of community funding kept the doors open.
The YMCA currently has over 600 members.

Northview Battles Back To A 26-20 Win Over Holmes County
September 22, 2018
The Northview Chiefs battled to a 26-20 win over the Blue Devils of Holmes County Friday night in Bratt.
“It was battle against a good football team,” Northview head football coach Derek Marshman said. “We faced a lot of adversity throughout the game.”

Holmes County capped their opening drive with a trip to the end zone and a 6-0 lead. The Chief recovered a Blue Devil fumble, with a quarterback keeper from Seth Killam setting up fourth and goal. Sophomore Jayden Jackson was in, tying it 6-6 in the second quarter.
The Chiefs were behind 13-6 at the half before dominating the third quarter of play.
Tied at 20-20 in the third, Jackson put the Chiefs on top in the fourth on an 80-yard touchdown run. Late in the fourth, the Blue D’s drove deep into Chief territory, but an interception by Lance McLaughlin sealed the win for the Chiefs.
“Our kids kept battling,” Marshman said. “They never quit; they never gave up. We had out backs against the wall multiple times, but this team is learning. Not just learning how to play the game, but learning how to be champions. They are learning how to fight, and they are learning how to do the little things that turn into big things.”
Friday night’s win put the Chiefs in positive territory on the season at 3-2.
“Each week we continue to get better. We are going continue to get better and be a really good football team,” Marshman said.
Northview will sit out next week before a homecoming matchup October 5 in Bratt against Jay. The Royals (3-2) lost Friday night to Escambia Academy 30-20.
