AHS robotics team going to world event

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Since 2005, Atlee High School has been continuing to achieve greatness with its robotics team, known as Cicuitree. Late last month, the students found themselves Chesapeake District champions headed

to the world competition in Detroit, Michigan.

These days, they are actively soliciting donations to realize their dream of bringing home global glory. They need $13,000 for fees, lodging, transportation, etc. see ROBOTICS, pg. 5

Bluemont announces termination of programs Former sheriff: salary compression still not corrected Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

V. Stuart Cook, former sheriff of Hanover County, addressed the board of supervisors.

hearing regarding Hanover County’s proposed FY2019 budget held last week didn’t take long. Only seven speakers took the podium to express their opinions on the county administrator’s $463.1 million proposal.

The limited number of speakers didn’t reflect on the series of topics they addressed, all important and vital areas of concern.

Former Hanover County Sheriff V. Stuart Cook addressed a condition that will, in his words, only get worse as time passes.

BERRYVILLE – Effective June 30, the Bluemont Concert Series programs and administrative operations will be terminated following a decision by the Board of Directors.

After a series of planning sessions over the past 18 months, the board agreed that the nonprofit Bluemont Concert Series as currently organized lacked the financial footing to continue.

Since 1976, Bluemont’s unique public/ private partnership has been a part of the cultural fabric of 34 Virginia communities.

It has presented more than 9,648 cultural programs in local schools, nursing homes, special events and summer concerts to 3.2 million families and visitors.

Bluemont’s extraordinary cultural legacy was built on the generous support of local government and private donor partners as well as the participating communities it served.

“We are immensely proud of our history over the past 41 years and treasure the many wonderful memories created by qual-

ity entertainment and cultural enrichment that we were so fortunate to present,” the board said.

In an ongoing attempt to maintain its popular cultural programs, Bluemont has been actively engaged in reactive downsizing for the past 10 years. Traditional funding from state and local government appropriations has been steadily reduced from

$263,000 in FY2008 to $59,434 in FY2018.

Bluemont strived to maintain community programs while offsetting the funding deficit each year by cutting costs and seeking other sources of revenue.

“While we continue to believe that music and art are critical to a well-rounded education, and vital to our beloved com-

munities, our programs require resources to operate,” the board added. “Despite a storied 40-plus year history, and ongoing conscientious budgeting, our resources have been exhausted.”

Effective Jan. 1, the Bluemont Board of Directors, with great reluctance, released Lily Dunning Widman, its award-winning executive director, and her staff.

The board extended its appreciation of Widman’s “outstanding professional service and we wish her much success in her future endeavors. She and her staff gave countless hours to make Bluemont truly special and their commitment to excellence is to be commended.”

Bluemont began in 1976 as a series of concerts and old-time country dances in the Bluemont community but grew to include regional cultural programming in many Virginia communities such as its Artists In Education, Healthcare Outreach in nursing homes, and various other music, theatre, and dance special events.

Bluemont stepped in to fill this important need when school budgets in the culsee BLUEMONT, pg. 7

years, the problem of salary compression has not been corrected.

Cook said, in some cases, starting deputies are making more than seasoned veterans, due to the lack of funding for merit and longevity raises in past years. “In the Sheriff ’s Office, they have patrol officers who have been recently hired and are making as much or more as some of the deputies who have been there for a number of years,� Cook said.� They have sergeants who are making as much as lieutenants . . . You can see the inequity in that.�

lion compression problem, and urged the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to address a problem that is already present and growing in the county’s sheriff’s office as well as other departments. “This problem has been building for many years and if we don’t deal with it will become a monster that we will have a difficult time overcoming,� Cook said. “We don’t expect you to address this in one fatal swoop,� the former sheriff said. “What I am asking is that the board take a look at this and put a plan into place with the county administrator so this can be dealt with over a period of time.�

The former sheriff said about $400,000 would be required to rectify the compression problem in the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. That figure does not address similar problems in other departments like Fire/ EMS and schools.

Ashland Volunteer Fire Chief Phillip Hutchinson urged supervisors to approve the FY2019 budget tempered with a forecast of future Fire/EMS needs.

Hutchinson said a five-year staffing plan and equipment allowances contained in the CIP (Capital Improvement Plan) are critical to the department maintaining its critical edge.

He also addressed future staffing needs. “The day is nearing when I believe all stations across the county must have 24/7 coverage, both in fire and EMS,�

Hutchinson said.

Currently, the county crossstaffs at five stations, meaning some crews serve multiple stations.

Hutchinson urged the board to add one to two positions a year in addition to the three to six allotted in the fiveyear staffing plan.

Bob Nelson addressed the removal of funds for the Atlee

Station Road widening project, delaying the start of the project for two years.

Currently, more than 900 unoccupied residential lots have been approved along the corridor, and Nelson said the improvement should have remained unchanged in the new Capital Improvement Plan.

Those funds were removed and placed in funding for Pole Green Road improvements.

The proposed FY2019 CIP eliminated $1 million from approved funding for the Atlee Station Road widening.

The proposed CIP calls for the design phase for Atlee Road to begin in 2023. “This year, the proposed CIP reveals a moratorium on widening Atlee Station Road.

The message is clear — rezoning for developers and road moratoriums for citizens,�

Nelson said.

Ashland resident Rachel Levy delivered a renewed request for more funding for local schools and a restoration of pre-recession level spending, noting the need for renovation and replacement of aging facilities. “You don’t have a great school system without sufficient funding,� Levy said. “Unfortunately, we haven’t had sufficient funding since the recession and there has been a slow erosion of quality and services offered.�

She also revealed figures that could indicate a top-heavy salary scale for county administration, noting that recently revealed salary figures show the system rewards its highestranking employees at a higher pay scale than many of its neighboring systems.

According to Levy, who gathered her numbers from recent Richmond TimesDispatch listings of government officials and their salaries, most counties pay their top position holders approxi-

mately two to three times the median salary, Hanover’s top earners are compensated at five times the median. “If we don’t have money to pay our teachers and other staff what we should, then how is it we have it for such high salaries at the top? Something is not adding up,� Levy said.

John Szewczyk is an advisor to the Hanover Professional Educators and spoke in support of the FY2019 budget, a proposal that includes a 2 percent increase for all employees and the continuance of an aggressive five-year technology plan.

He urged supervisors to utilize any additional funds that might be forthcoming as the Commonwealth finalizes its final budget to further compensate the county’s teachers.

A Cold Harbor resident spoke against the inclusion of $3.1 million in the budget for the recently named Elton Wade Sr. Park at Cold Harbor.

After moving to Cold Harbor to escape growing congestion in the Suburban Service Area (SSA), the father of a special needs father said the park will destroy the tranquility he sought for his son’s well-being.

He likened the project to a sports complex with few traditional park amenities, designed and built to attract large tournaments to the county akin to events currently held in Northern Virginia.

Community Services Board (CSB) chair Scott Bateman also urged supervisors to approve the FY2019 proposed budget, citing its impact on the board’s ability to provide services for an increasing number of clients in the county.

The board continues its consideration of the budget with adoption anticipated at its upcoming meeting on April 11.

DANNY J. ST. MARY Danny J. St. Mary, 84, of Quinton, passed away on April 1, 2018. He was a strong, kind, gentle man who was immediately liked by everyone he met. Danny could be as happy in a shack in the woods as he would be in the grandest of mansions. For 35 years, he was a field service engineer for Interstate Electronics, and, after retiring, he worked 10 years for the Virginia Racing Commission. He truly loved horseracing and handicapping the races; sometimes they were good picks and he won money, but sometimes it didn’t quite work out in his favor. For a few years Danny even owned a racehorse, “Yampacala”. Danny was a musician who greatly enjoyed playing the guitar and singing. In his younger rock star years, he played professionally and was known as “Pelvis Esley”. Over the years “Pelvis” made many appearances at family weddings and get-togethers. Danny wore many hats throughout his life, including two terms as president of the Denbigh Exchange Club, where he really enjoyed the task of heading up Christmas for the needy children event, being a member of the Moose Club for over 35 years, and being a winemaker and brewmeister in his spare time. Danny greatly enjoyed fishing and being on the water, especially boating with friends and family.

Any time spent with loved ones was a treasure to him. He was the best husband, father and grandfather (“Shag”). He even served as the best man in both of his sons’ weddings. Danny is survived by his high school sweetheart and wife of 64 years, Shirley D. St. Mary; his children, Tina Goodwin of Ashland, Steven St. Mary (Sharon) of Quinton and Rick St. Mary (Melissa) of Providence Forge; six grandchildren , Jason St. Mary (Angie), Jessica St. Mary, Joey St. Mary (Lacy), Tyler Goodwin, Davis Goodwin and Ricky St. Mary; five great-grandchildren, Jackson Robertson, Jayden St. Mary, Starlett St. Mary, Daniel Ownby and Layla St. Mary. A celebration of Danny’s life will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, 2018, in the Dogwood Room (above The Third Base Grill) in Quinton. Memorial contributions can be made to your favorite charity. Vincent Funeral Home in Providence Forge is in charge of arrangements.Tributes may be posted at vincentfh.com.

ROBOTICS Continued from pg. 1

A GoFundMe page has been set up to help them reach their financial goal. This is an opportunity for the community to support an educational opportunity that can place Hanover County Public Schools on the robotics map.

The address is GoFundMe. com/circuitree1599. It is a taxdeductible donation.

Those wishing to send cash or checks may do so by mailing them to Atlee High School at 9414 Atlee Station Rd. in Mechanicsville.

On Thursday, three members of the team talked about the competitions and fundraising efforts as they prepare to head to Detroit for the April 25 FRC (First Robotics Competition).

Senior Tyler Smith noted that they had had “some very gracious sponsors like DuPont.” Maria Wass, also a senior, chimed in, adding the Department of Defense STEM (Science, Technology, Mathematics and Engineering), Hanover Education Foundation, National Defense Education Program, Hanover County Public Schools, and VERUS Financial Partners.

“We’ve already raised a couple thousand, but that’s just helping get us there,” Maria added.

Team Circuitree involves all four grades at Atlee – freshmen through seniors. There are 61 members, with nine planning for the Detroit competition.

To attain the pinnacle of going to the world competition, the Atlee team took part in two regional events. The first was held at Deep Run High School; the second was scheduled for Blacksburg High School but had to be moved to the Arthur Ashe Center in Richmond due to snow.

The Chesapeake District event followed at the University of Maryland in College Park.

The Circuitree robotics team at Atlee High School had some fun with larger-thanlife faces of some of the members when they were competing in the district events. They are preparing for the world competition.

As they get ready for the world competition, Maria said there will be “a lot of teams from Israel.” Junior Sabrina Chin said 60-plus nations will be represented.

With a smile of pride, Tyler pointed out that this is the first time that Atlee has ever qualified for the world event. Maria added that they are the only HCPS school to reach that level.

Samuel Kentner was the team’s original sponsor and club mentor. Thomas Larson now handles those responsibilities. He is assisted by physics teacher Ian McPhipps and shop instructor David Balderson.

Circuitree, Tyler said, “built a robot and we named it Splinter and that’s because of all the metal shavings and jagged edges it has. We’ve had to remove a couple splinters from people’s fingers and things like that.”

The Circuitree logo featured “the general like tree design,” Sabrina said, “which was made a few years ago. My friend Kolton Peyton and I added the Mario Warp Pipe.”

“We designed this robot to be able to pick up like cubes, which are the size of a milk crate because they are a milk crate but they’re covered, and to be able to place them up 7 feet in the air and place them on a platform,” Tyler said.

He was quick to point out that it was not inexpensive to build Splinter. The cost was about $3,000.

Other funds the team faces in competitions are registration, which can range from $4,000 to $5,000 per event.

“It’s a very expensive club to partake in so we’ve just got to be careful not to spend all of our resources,” Tyler said.

He did say the cost analysis a little different than the actual cost. “The amount of money we actually spent this year was $2,000, with the actual cost being $3,000.” He said they have to “factor in parts that we already have or you receive from the FRC.” For those who may consider donating to the Atlee High School Robotics Boosters Club, Maria said it is a 501(c)(3) taxdeductible organization.

“I started my freshman year and I’m a junior now,” Sabrina said. “Originally, I just thought it was interesting. I always liked engineering since I was a child -- building things and working with my hands.” She also said she likes to collaborate and work on a team.

“Robotics is something I was just really interested in. I either want to be like an aerospace engineer or a cyber security person,” she said.

Tyler said, “I had taken a plethora of agriculture and shop classes and actually done some shop work on the robot and figured that I’d get involved the next year when registration opened back up.

I just thought it would be an opportunity to increase my knowledge and develop some of those engineering skills.”

He became involved with Circuitree last year. With graduation fast approaching, he said he is “either planning on majoring in environmental science or environmental engineering at Virginia Tech or the University of Vermont.”

Maria started taking computer design classes her fresh-

man year. “By the time I had gotten to my junior year I was already certified in a couple of programs, and I was looking for ways to use my certifications.”

She said she was talking to McPhipps who asked her, “Why don’t you join the robotics team? I help with that a lot.”

Maria attended a meeting and started the CAD (Computer-Aided Design).

Like Tyler, she will be graduating in June. She said, “I am hoping to become an aerospace engineer. I was actually admit-

ted and have now accepted at Virginia Tech for their engineering school.”

Circuitree has accomplished a major feat as the journey now takes the team

to Detroit and the possibility of a world title. April 25 is a mere two weeks away, so those wishing to help the team with finances are encouraged to do so as soon as possible.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ASHLAND TOWN COUNCIL Please take notice that on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 at 7:30 PM, the Ashland Town Council will conduct a public hearing at Ashland Town Hall, 101 Thompson Street, Ashland, Virginia on the following:

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF PROPOSED REAL PROPERTY TAX INCREASE The Town of Ashland, Virginia proposes to increase property tax levies.

1. Assessment Increase: Total assessed value of real property, excluding additional assessments due to new construction or improvements to property, exceeds last year’s total assessed value of real property by 5.15%.

2

Lowered Rate Necessary to Offset Increased Assessment: The tax rate which would levy the same amount of real estate tax as last year, when multiplied by the new total assessed value of real estate with the exclusions mentioned above, would be $0.086 per $100 of assessed value. This rate will be known as the “lowered tax rate.”

2. Effective Rate Increase: The Town of Ashland proposes to adopt a tax rate of $0.10 per $100 of assessed value. The difference between the lowered tax rate and the proposed rate would be $0.014 per $100, or 4.4 percent.

This difference will be known as the “effective tax rate increase.” Individual property taxes may, however, increase at a percentage greater than or less than the above percentage.

4. Proposed Total Budget Increase: Based on the proposed real property tax rate and changes in other revenues, the total budget of the Town of Ashland will increase by 8.8 percent.

The purpose of this public hearing is to receive input and all interested persons are encouraged to attend and express their views. Written comments may be submitted to Joseph Collins, Clerk of Council, via email at Jcollins@ashlandva.gov or through regular mail to Clerk of Council, Town of Ashland, P.O. Box 1600, Ashland, VA 23005.

Kids looking out for their future aren’t a threat

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

W

hile some adults have taken to social media and other outlets to air their holier-than-thou attitudes about students around the globe stepping up to seek solutions to the issue of gun violence.

Before anybody jumps up and starts badmouthing me, I am not anti-gun. As I’ve stated repeatedly, I was raised in a home in which my father kept pistols and rifles. He was a member of the NRA. That being said, I can’t imagine how parents feel today when their children get on the bus to head to school. Will they return? What will trigger a current or former student or someone without any ties

to the school to enter with an assault weapon and unleash terror?

When I think back to my high school years, I’d like to think my classmates would have been as passionate and active as the students of Parkland, Florida, have been since that horrific Valentine’s Day incident.

Don’t be dismissive because they’re teenagers.

They’re trying to make the future better for their generation. When they have taken to the streets to express their views, those addressing the throngs of supporters have been articulate and prepared with their comments.

I’ve read and listened in awe as these young people have made themselves heard. I expect their voices will have a significant impact on this year’s elections. Again, don’t be dismissive of what they can do for the country, which, by the way, is their

country too.

As we continue to hear the term “Fake News,” consider the sources of where it’s coming from and how it’s being used to manipulate those who will succumb to whatever is said.

I find it unbelievable that a so-called TV commentator criticized one of the more vocal Parkland students about his college future. I can’t even find a word to describe someone who would bully a young man who survived a massacre.

Just because you’re over 30 doesn’t mean you have all the answers. Are you even listening to the questions? Are you trying to make a difference?

This is a nationwide concern. We are so fortunate to live in a safe county with leaders being evermindful of the schools. But we need to help and support those students who have suffered losses and witnessed the horrors of these shootings.

Bachelor of Science in Nursing proposed for R-MC curriculum (Editor’s note: The following is published courtesy of RandolphMacon College.)

ASHLAND -- Randolph-Macon College President Robert R. Lindgren is pleased to announce that the college has formally submitted its application to establish a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program to the Virginia Board of Nursing.

The nursing program application is now pending Board of Nursing approval. This step is critical towards the formation of this new program, proposed to begin in fall 2019.

“The BSN program will be a powerful academic offering for our students,” Lindgren said. “There is enormous enthusiasm at the college for the establishment of this program. In March, our college faculty voted unanimously in favor of approving the degree and nursing curriculum. I have no doubt that nurses who are educated at Randolph-Macon College will be exceptionally well-equipped to enter the healthcare arena and become leaders in their profession.”

The establishment of the nursing program, and the new stateof-the-art nursing building that will be constructed by fall 2019, is covered fully by private alumni donations. Randolph-Macon College alumni are among the most loyal in the nation, ranking R-MC 20th last year out of over 3,000 public and private institutions for alumni loyalty.

Close, Personal Attention The proposed Randolph-Macon BSN curriculum is based on The Essentials of Baccalaureate Education for Professional Nursing Practice and will prepare graduates to obtain licensure as Registered Nurses and practice as generalist nurses.

Students in the proposed BSN program will receive close, personal attention from experienced faculty with clinical expertise in a variety of nursing specialties. In cohorts of approximately 30, BSN students will have opportunities to conduct collaborative research with nursing faculty, pursue internships, and participate in clinical practice as they gain a depth of understanding to prepare them for practice.

Graduates of the program will qualify to sit for the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX-RN) to become a Registered Nurse. An R-MC-educated, professional nurse will also be prepared for entry into graduate nursing programs.

R. Peatross Turner, 81, a lifelong resident of Hanover County, died on April 2, 2018, at Henrico Doctors' Hospital.

He was born in Ashland on February 2, 1937, to Alfred W. Turner and Maria Meredith Turner. He attended Randolph-Macon College and graduated from T.C. Williams Law School in 1961. He joined

the law firm of Williams, McGehee and Willey upon graduation, where he remained TURNER until 1970.

He served on Ashland Town Council from 1963 to 1970. He also was judge of the Ashland Town Court and served as Town Attorney for Ashland from 1969 to 1970. He became the Commonwealth's Attorney

for Hanover County in 1971 and remained in that position until 1975, when he decided to conduct his own private practice from 1975 to 1994 at 117 Hanover Avenue in Ashland.

He was appointed as Assistant Commissioner of Accounts for Hanover County from 1994 to 1996. He then was appointed to Commissioner of Accounts from 1996 until he retired in 2012, after 50 years of practicing law. He was preceded in death by his brother, William Meredith (Mike) Turner; and

his sister, Anne Turner Taylor.

He is survived by his wife of 58 years, Virginia Thompson Turner; a brother, Alfred W.

The Bluemont board’s recognition and appreciation for its many volunteers and sponsors cannot be adequately expressed in words.

“We are mindful that without their commitment and energy, Bluemont would have never existed and flourished for over 40 years. They have given more to the heart, soul and vitality of Virginia than they

know,” board members added.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to fulfill the Bluemont mission by helping to build our cultural programs for the people in our communities. We thank everyone for their support over the years, and will continue to treasure fond memories of families singing, dancing and sharing art in their own community,” the members said.

Bluemont’s board and volunteers are working to finalize the work involved with closing a 40-year institution.

In order to make a graceful exit, the organization has obligations to fulfill and a small debt to retire.

Bluemont must raise $7,500 to close the doors and meet all obligations.

At Randolph-Macon, students are provided with opportunities both inside and outside of the classroom to learn while developing and refining critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities, and excellent communication skills. These are the hallmarks of a Randolph-Macon education, and will be a key component of the BSN program.

Dr. Susan Parker, R-MC Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, who has spearheaded the nursing initiative, said, “What will make our BSN program distinctive is the combination of an outstanding nursing program with a robust liberal arts curriculum and a residen-

Our nursing students — like all of our students — will enjoy the full college experience, including opportunities to participate in athletics, campus activities, Greek life, internships, groundbreaking research, our study-abroad program, and more. Nursing students will be a vital part of our residential campus community.”

Parker said R-MC also is looking forward to building on its existing partnerships with two major healthcare providers, Bon Secours Health System Inc. and HCA (Hospital Corporation of America).

“These relationships will provide a wealth of opportunities for our students,” said Parker. “They will be able to explore and experience the diverse roles of nurses throughout various healthcare delivery systems and settings and gain invaluable hands-on experience and future career opportunities.”

County teams fare well in busy baseball week

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Most prep sports took a competitive holiday over spring break last week, but Hanover County’s baseball teams stayed busy. All four teams played at least one game, with Lee-Davis, participating in a tournament at Deep Run, took the field three times.

Not only were they busy.

All four teams were successful, too, improving their standings in the win/loss column.

Patrick Henry ASHLAND – Patrick Henry got off to a slow start Friday against Louisa pitcher Liam Grubbs, a Division I commit who will play for James Madison next year, but they recovered sufficiently to send him packing in the fifth inning Friday after Trey Taylor connected for a three-run home run to tie the game 4-4.

After that, the Patriots steamrolled the Lions in a 12-4 win, tagging reliever Austin Nicholas for eight runs – though a shaky Lion defense contributed to the outcome with five errors. In fact, only two of Grubbs’ runs and two of Nicholas runs were earned.

Taylor said he was just looking to “square up the ball and get on base.”

He ended up taking advantage of what he was given,

despite what he was expecting based on the count.

“I was looking more for a curve ball because it was 1-and2,” Taylor said. “But he threw a fast ball and I squared it up. …

It felt good.”

Patrick Henry head coach Sam Hart was pleased with his team’s resilience.

The Hanover Local April 11, 2018

“We competed today,” Hart said. “We lost a tough ball game to them last Thursday, that I thought we actually deserved to win. We didn’t swing the bats as well, but we did a lot of things offensively to get ourselves in a position to win the ball game – we just didn’t take advantage of them.

“Today we kind of fell behind, but I’m proud of the way we fought back after doing that.”

The Patriots had a number of multiple-hit performances.

Noah Zook was 2-for-4 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBI. Cameron Reed went 2-for-2 with one run scored and

two RBI. Timmy Matthews and Austin Odell each went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Odell also had a double while Matthews also had an RBI. Chase Mills went 2-for-5 with a run scored.

Lee-Davis GLEN ALLEN – The Confederates stumbled against

Benedictine 11-1 on the second day of the tournament, which began Monday, but given that Benedictine was the top-ranked team in the metro area, head coach Tyler Johnson wasn’t terribly surprised.

The main things were that they won their opener against Monacan 6-1 Monday and defeated Grassfield 6-0 in the third-place Wednesday.

“Going into spring break, we wanted to get to .500 or better for our overall record, and we ended up 3-3,” Johnson said.

“We knew [Benedictine] was going to be a tough battle, but I’m glad we came out 2-1 [in the tournament]. I’m pretty happy.”

uation last year. This year, they have relied heavily on two freshman, Brett Allen – who went the distance against Grassfield – and Jalen Strattman. Strattman got them off to a good start, giving them five innings against Monacan. Strattman also went 2-for-3 with two RBI. “He threw a lot of strikes – very efficient,” Johnson said.

“He could have kept going, but he was kind of at that 80-pitch mark. … He did an awesome job for his first varsity start.”

Hanover MECHANICSVILLE – The Hawks planned a pair of games

last week, but the weather Saturday spoiled a chance to host Miller School. But they began the week with a 9-2 win over visiting Hickory Tuesday.

Nick Zona went 2-of-4 with two RBI against Hickory. Colby Hutnam was 2-of-3 with a run and an RBI and Michael Warley was 2-of-4 with a run and an RBI. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the third when the Hawks scored three runs. Will Lopez opened the inning with a walk, followed by a single by Jack Dragum.

One out later, Camden Grimes walked to load the bases, and Lopez scored on a passed ball.

Warley singled in Dragum and Grimes stole home.

The offense has been slow

in coming for Hanover, which has been plagued by nagging injuries all season long and has had to rely on small ball to get what production it can.

“We’ve gotten off to a slow start … but I think we’re getting better,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “At some point, we’ll start swinging the bats better.”

Atlee MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee took advantage of an eight-run first inning to thrash visiting Massaponax 12-2 Thursday.

Ironically, only one of the Panthers’ six errors were committed in that eight-run inning.

Tucker Bratton opened with a walk. Nick Carlo singled, and

Zach Beach doubled Bratton and Carlo in. J.T. Fitzpatrick and Tyler Warren hit back-toback singles, with Fitzpatrick driving in Beach. Fitzpatrick subsequently scored on backto-back wild pitches to make it 4-0.

Hayden Harris walked. Eric Haynes singled in Warren, while Harris advanced to third. Brian Rollison sacrificed in Harris and Jayce Catterton walked. Back at the top of the order, Bratton grounded into a fielder’s choice that retired Haynes at home plate, then Carlo hit a double that scored Catterton and Bratton to make it 8-0.

Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

ASHLAND – RandolphMacon’s bid for a doubleheader sweep of Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival Emory & Henry looked unlikely as the Yellow Jackets entered the sixth inning of the nightcap at Randolph-Macon Sunday.

With one swing of the bat, the Yellow Jackets gave themselves the jolt they needed to tie the game and send it to extra innings where, in the ninth inning, Shelby Hill doubled in Sami Davidson to end the game in a 7-6 Randolph-Macon win.

After scoring a pair of runs in the second inning of the nightcap, Randolph-Macon fell behind in the next inning when starting pitcher Madie Rhoads, a freshman, gave up a pair of home runs: a three-run shot by Courtney Herron and a two-run shot by Caley Hodge.

Another freshman pitcher, Kayley Scott, came in for the duration, yielding just one run and striking out seven in 6 1/3

innings of relief.

“I knew that my team had my back and I came in with a lot of confidence,” said Scott, a Lee-Davis graduate who helps herself in the confidence department. “I like to talk to myself in my glove to give myself positive vibes.”

Both teams scored a run in their respective portions of the fifth inning. But RandolphMacon’s comeback was hampered by baserunning mistakes.

Still, they had two baserunners reach on walks when senior Harley Jones, on her senior day, stepped up to the plate.

She had struck out previously on Wasp pitcher Cameron Derr’s rise ball, and was ready for what she was about to receive.

“She had thrown it to me twice,” Jones said. “I wasn’t going to let her throw it to me a third time and whiff.”

Randolph-Macon junior Candace Whittemore struck out 12 Wasps and walked none to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 3-0 victory in the opener.
