Staff Reports With chilly temperatures and frosty fields in the morning eventually giving way to beautiful fall afternoon sunshine, the King George Youth Athletic Association (KGYAA) wrapped-up its seventh weekend of regular play at Sealston Elementary School. And not only were all the KGYAA teams in action, but the association also hosted three additional Rappahannock River Youth Football League (RRYFL) games as well (with teams from Essex, Northumberland, and Richmond Cos.). The JV Mavericks (3-3) played first on Saturday, and despite a late offensive rally in regulation, ultimately dropped an extremely close game to the visiting Rappahannock Raiders in overtime, 12-6. (Interestingly, the Mavericks have lost three games now
by a combined score of 10 points.) Leading the way for the Mavericks were Darrian Hodsden, Michael Foster, and Derrick Wood. In the day’s first contest between KGYAA foes, the resurgent Rookie Rattlers (3-4) downed the division leading River Hawks (6-1) in overtime, 6-0. The loss is the first on the season by the boys in blue. Top performers for the Rattlers were Devin Quick, Malik Peyton, and Nate Wahl, while setting the pace for the River Hawks were Aiden Brooks, Aiden Inzana, and Tayvion Pierce. The Pirates (4-3) and Pride (1-6) battled in Saturday’s second Rookie division game, with the Pirates prevailing, 24-6. Leaders for the Pirates were Tony Brown, John Dodson, and Campbell Thacker. Submitting notable performances for the Pride were Nicholas Brouillette, Jake Daniels, and Mason Haydon.

On Thursday, Oct. 24, the Foxes (3-7, 8-14) swept Chancellor for the season, with a 3-1 win (2523, 27-29, 25-21, 28-26).

Other Foxes who contributed to the win included: Sha’Tiva Harvey, five kills, four blocks; Mekayla Thompson, three aces, seven digs; Madi Koban, 15 assists, three blocks, nine digs; Andrea Wine, 15 assists, five kills, nine digs; Lauren Howard 21 digs; Mackenzie Miniuk, 10 digs. On Tuesday, Oct. 22, in the hostile confines of James Monroe High School, King George faced their Battlefield District nemesis, James Monroe. After a slow start, the Foxes defeated the Yellow Jackets, 3-1. The Foxes junior varsity had the night off, because the Yellow Jackets do not have a junior varsity team.

Game I The Foxes began game one with a 4-2 lead that featured an ace from Nicole Josemans, a Yellow Jacket service error, a Fox kill, and a passing error from James Monroe. On the next five exchanges, the Yellow Jackets tied the game and took the lead. The exchanges featured a kill from Cara Lambert, and four Fox passing errors. After establishing continuity between Yellow Jacket front row hitters, six foot four, Monica Dit, and Lambert, the Yellow Jackets held off the Foxes to establish a 3-4
point lead through the midway point of the game. The Foxes managed to cut the Yellow Jacket deficit to two points (21-19) with Alli Trainum and Peterson combining for two kills, while forcing four Yellow Jacket passing errors. In spite of a late Foxes rally, the Yellow Jackets closed game one out by forcing King George into three passing errors, a service error and a James Monroe kill. The final result - Yellow Jackets defeated Foxes 25-22. Game II After a wake up call from losing game one, the Foxes clicked into gear and steamrollered the Yellow Jackets. After two ties (4-4, 5-5) the Foxes dominated the front line with kills from Wine (2), Peterson (1), Harvey (3), and six James Monroe passing errors to establish a 12-9 lead. With the Foxes comfortably ahead of the Yellow Jackets (21-13), it appeared that the game was nearly over. However, the Yellow Jackets managed two short rallies that cut the Fox lead to 22-20. During the next six exchanges, the Yellow Jackets climbed back into the game by tying the score at 23-23 with an ace by Alyssa Washington. The Foxes responded with kills by Wine and Trainum to win game two (2523), and tie the match at one game apiece. Game III In game three, after capitalizing on a series of Yellow Jacket miscues, the Foxes jumped out to a commanding 7-3 lead. Over the next six exchanges, the Yellow Jackets continued to struggle with passing and serving errors. However, the Yellow Jackets offensive suddenly caught fire, as they forced the Foxes into five passing errors to cut the lead to 12-10. Undaunted, and determined, the Foxes, behind kills from Harvey and Peterson managed to hold off the Yellow Jackets with a series of blocks and kills. Over the course of the next 17 exchanges, the Yellow Jackets refused to throw in the towel,
as they either led or tied the game six times. The Foxes’ intangible was Howard, as she fought off a number of potential Yellow Jacket scores with game saving digs. The Foxes later closed out the game (25-23) with kills from Wine, Harvey, and three Yellow Jacket passing errors. Game IV Game Foxes quickly dispensed of the winless Yellow Jackets in the final game, as they started with 4-0 lead. However, Washington lead the Yellow Jackets back with six kills that sparked a 10-6 run, and ultimately tied the game at 10-10. Over the course of the next 16 exchanges, the Foxes would yield one point, while dominating the Yellow Jackets with forced passing errors, kills from Trainum, Nicole Josemans, Peterson, and three aces from Howard for a 25-11 win. The final match result; the Foxes defeated the Yellow Jackets, 3-1. Howard led the Foxes offense with eight aces, eight digs, and numerous passing assists. Howard’s teammate, Josemans featured three aces, four kills, and four digs Trainum compiled three aces and four kills, while Harvey crushed three aces, two kills and six blocks. Wine finished with 13 assists, four aces, five kills, and two blocks. Peterson added eight kills, while Koban contributed 13 assists, two aces, and two kills. Results of Tuesday’s game (Senior night) featuring Spotsylvania were not available due to press deadlines.
