Have you been wondering what’s been going on with Edgewood and Autauga Academy over the last 24 hours?

So has Autauga Academy coach Kyle Glover.

Edgewood released a statement Monday morning, cancelling Thursday’s game with Autauga Academy because of “credible information regarding recent threats of intentional injury.”

Glover was blindsided by the news like everyone else. He traded film with the Wildcats coaches on Saturday, and found out he wasn’t playing on Monday.

After the initial disbelief, he asked the question many want the answer to.

“What motivation would anybody from Autauga have to threaten somebody from Edgewood?” Glover said. “The only logical motivation I can think of would there would be pissed off people at Edgewood after all those kids left.”

After coach Bobby Carr unexpectedly resigned this off season, many of Edgewood players scattered throughout the River Region. It essentially Edgewood’s dynasty of six straight state titles and a 71-game win streak.

A handful of those players went to Autauga Academy, where Carr is now the offensive coordinator.

The motivation is puzzling to all involved, so Glover’s going to find out himself.

As of 10 a.m. Tuesday, he was about to drive to Edgewood.

“I’m not good with just letting it go,” Glover said. “I need to know – and they cannot produce anything to a media outlet or a sheriff’s department of any threat – and it just boggles my mind that grown professional people would do this and just think that it’s going to be OK. It’s not OK. I’m not OK with this. I’m not OK with this for my players, for my school, for my coaches. I’m not OK.

“And it’s not about them not coming to play us. If they choose not to play, that’s one thing. But all I’m asking is, do it the right way. Just say what it is. Don’t make something up that paints me and my kinds and my staff in a bad light. And that’s what they did. So as a Christian and as a father and as a teacher and coach, the only thing that I’m left with today is to do all that I know and what I preach to kids in Sunday school every Sunday, and that’s face the problem head on. So I’m driving there. I don’t know if they will see me. I don’t know anything about that. But I’m going to try. And that’s what I’m called to do as a Christian, is go try.”

After the allegations Monday morning, Glover said he called Elmore County Sheriff Bill Franklin.

“Bill Franklin sent an investigator (to Edgewood),” Glover said. “And Bill called us back and said, ‘They said there’s nothing to investigate. That they don’t have anything. They couldn’t produce anything and there’s nothing for us to investigate. If something comes up they’ll handle it internally.’ Well that’s not good for me.”

The alleged threats may have cancelled the football game, but it hasn’t affected any of the other sports. That’s another thing that irks Glover.

“The lack of communication is one of the things that’s so frustrating about it, because obviously they feel one way,” Glover said. “Obviously they have some misconceived notions about something and I just want to make sure it’s rectified as we move forward.

“The funny thing – and I guess the most ironic thing of all of it is this – you send out that press release yesterday that says we have received threats of bodily harm. Yet, guess what? My volleyball team is going to load up today on a bus and we’re going to Edgewood. And I guess my question is, if it’s Autauga people that are threats for real, why wouldn’t you cancel the volleyball game too?”

Glover said he will give the Advertiser an update on the situation after visiting Edgewood and attempting to speak with someone.

“I’m going to go extend a hand of friendship and see if they will see me and maybe explain to me face to face, without big hoopla,” Glover said. “I really would like to know why they choose to do something like that? I’m as stunned still today as I was yesterday.”
