T
hanks to the generosity of the Hanover community, local students started school with new backpacks, markers, notebooks and much
more. The Hanover Youth Service Council’s (HYSC) 17th annual school supply drive collected over 4,550 school supplies. An additional 43 zipper binders were donated thanks to a grant provided by the Youth Philanthropy Project. The collected school supplies were sorted and distributed to all of Hanover’s public schools. Supplies also pwere provided to Hanover Community Services for children receiving services through mental health or intellectual disabilities programs and to Hanover Safe
Place, which provides services to families affected by domestic violence or sexual assault. HYSC made certain that specific items of need were delivered to specific schools thanks to the work of Christine Minozzi, a junior at Patrick Henry High School, who volunteered at Hanover County Community Resources over the summer to conduct a targeted needs assessment based upon surveys from school guidance counselors. The Hanover Youth Service Council is a service group comprised of 35 Hanover middle and high school students. Their annual School Supply Drive is one of their signature projects.

and retired Mechanicsville postmaster Otho Mitterer stopped by the Studley Post Office, now a small, free-standing building across the parking lot from the old store, to give Beazley, who has been Studley’s postmaster since 1980, a sendoff on her last day of work. The trio happily celebrated Beazley’s retirement by sharing cake, laughs and, of course, plenty of postal reminiscences. Beazley said her career in the snug office, which houses post office boxes for about 150 families and sees an average of 50 or fewer customers a day, was full of charm and countless fond memories. In the late 1970s, the U.S. Postal Service decided that the mail counter wasn’t secure enough, so the post office, still located within the general store, was walled off into a 13-by-15-foot room. Beazley and the store employees would communicate by tapping on and talking through the walls, she said. Often, if the store’s telephone line was busy, customers would call the post office and tell Beazley to relay messages, she said. “They’d say, ‘This is so and so, tell her to get off the phone!
I need to pick up some butterscotch candy!’ ” Although Beazley lived within easy walking distance of her work, she quickly learned that hoofing it on nice days confused her customers. When Beazley didn’t drive, she sometimes wouldn’t see anybody all day. She realized why when she started receiving calls asking her why the post office was closed. Her vehicle, bearing in recent years the personalized license plate STUDLEY has rarely been absent from its spot in front of the post office over the past few decades. “I never left there without looking forward to coming back,” Beazley said. Even during the crunch times, like tax season and Christmas, were fun, she said, because she’d get to see more people. “I always got excited if I had a line – that wasn’t daunting!” From encounters with a unique local trapper who often drove around with skunks, pigs and beavers strapped to the top of his car to packages that arrived bearing only nicknames or missing addresses, Beazley has plenty of unusual stories. “You’d get boxes that would just say, ‘Mom, Studley, VA.’ You’d have to look at the postmark to see which college it was from, then put it in a P.O.

box with a note saying, ‘Does this belong to you?’ ” Beazley said with a laugh. “It’s all part of the charm of working in a small office.” Beazley is easily overcome with emotion when talking about her customers, many of whom became dear friends over the years and she said made her job not just enjoyable, but precious. As an example, she cites the unforgiving January of 1982, when back-to-back snow and ice storms left the roads piled high with a dangerous frozen mix. Beazley, who was pregnant and very close to the due date for her son Andrew, spent days dutifully trudging to work in the only shoes tough enough to keep her upright: her husband’s old firefighter boots. On Jan. 23, the region was walloped by an ice storm so serious that trees and power lines were down throughout the Studley area. The next day, Beazley decided to call on a substitute worker to come fill in. It was the right choice: She ended up going into labor that day. When she came home after giving birth, she was honored and humbled to learn that two older gentlemen, Clarence Brannan and Frasia Norment, had taken it upon themselves to get up early and chip a path out of the ice so Beazley would have easier access to work. “I almost cry every time I think about it, all of the things people did without my asking,” Beazley said. “I just regretted that I didn’t get to use that path,” she added, noting that both of her friendly helpers have long since passed away. “It’s just the character of those
people who have come through all of these years. I hope I have at least serviced them a small portion of the kindness they showed to me. I miss them all every day.” Beazley decided to step aside after her husband and mother encountered health problems at the same time. With small staffs on hand at any given post office, Beazley, who has been the only fulltime employee at Studley for years, had a difficult time finding people to fill in for her if she needed to be absent, and those replacements would have to come in from other offices. These days, a clerk is filling in temporarily, but a permanent replacement postmaster hasn’t been named. In the early days of her retirement, Beazley has spent time caring for her grandchildren and puttering around the house, but said she looks forward to traveling and spending more time with hzer mother and sisters. She said she’ll also enjoy extra time with her husband David, daughters Jennifer McMillen and Rebecca Beazley and son Andrew, along with her slow-moving Bassett Hound Lily and feisty, sometimes grouchy cat, Oscar. One day soon, when enough time has passed, Beazley said she looks forward to frequently visiting her old work home. “I’ll get to the point where I can sit on the front porch, wave at people and visit,” Beazley said. “But I’m not there yet, because I know I’ll cry.”

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Some residents want to view meetings online We’ve recently received emails about some Hanover County citizens who are determined: They want meetings of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, Hanover County School Board and Hanover County Planning Commission streamed live over the Internet. There seems to be a real push to provide the service, as information was sought and received from a member of the Goochland County Board of Supervisors, who — it just so happens — is an IT (information technology) specialist, as well as chairman of that governmental body. According to the response from Manuel Alvarez Jr., Goochland County invested about $1,000 in buying two IP (Internet Protocol) cameras. He said the supervisors use a service from Livestream.com, while the school system utilizes USTREAM. Alvarez went on to say that “then it’s a matter of opening a port in your network for the cameras to transmit to the service.” He said they could stream the meetings themselves, but they weren’t sure if the bandwidth and equipment could handle it. “We have chosen not to pay anything for our service,” he added, “so users have to watch a brief commercial when they log-on.” Alvarez did say that they have “some limits on number of concurrent users, but we have never reached it.” They also are limited in the number of archive videos. Four or five meetings are available for review, but there are audio recordings that are always available. While some may accuse our leaders of avoiding streaming live their meetings, which are open to the public, we’re going the optimistic route in the hope that it’s on their agenda. It is a great convenience for those unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts as well as those who simply cannot travel and sit in on the session. Here’s to positive thinking . . . In closing, we would be most remiss if we didn’t extend a thank you and best wishes to Linda Scarborough, who left Friday as communications specialist of Hanover County Public Schools. She has relocated with her husband who accepted employment out of the area. Thank you, Linda, your efforts have graced our pages countless times during your tenure. Melody Kinser

Parenting: an amazing journey By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist When I had my first child Jaime, my wife and I depended on Dr. Spock to teach us the finer points of parenting. Now, the mention of his name is cliché, and most parents today don’t even know who he was. So, who took his place as the eminent authority on how to raise a child? I have no idea. But, there are a myriad of options available at local bookstores or on the Internet. So, as the father of four — one grown, three progressing, I’ve decided to offer a more light-hearted approach
to prospective parents. I’ve compiled a list of some lesser discussed potential bumps in the road of parenthood and how to prevent them. Mind you, the advice is not professional and is gained and still being obtained through years of trial and error, mostly the latter. Get your own bathroom. It doesn’t take long to realize you and your offspring have different ideas on how to use and keep a lavatory. I’ll spare you all the details, but you are better off reserving one toilet for your own use, and make sure there is a lock on that door. Stock the other with an untold
amount of toilet paper, shampoo and collect wet towels once daily. Oh yeah, keep the door on their private palace closed, and realize — even though you regularly clean — strange things will appear. Never empty a trash can without replacing the bag. Even if you tiptoe away for just a second, kids will throw the slimiest of objects into the unprotected receptacle. It’s what they do. Even with the best of efforts, expect to find used sticky lollipop sticks in the bottom of your once pristine kitchen can. see PARENTING, pg. 8
LETTERS | Reader Views
Reader responds to letter regarding Tea Party’s stand In response to Taylor Rickard’s letter, the Tea Party started in 2007 in response to conservatives’ plea to reduce federal spending, national debt and taxes. The Tea Party has expanded nationwide and is working hard to keep us informed and make us aware of all issues that impact the American way of life. We support fiscal and socially conservative candidates for public office and we are concerned about our nation’s security, education and the preservation of life. In contrast to Adolf Hitler, whom Rickard compared the Tea Party, the Nazi Party advocated Eugenics and National Socialism. He used the money he obtained from the Jewish people he was murdering to fund his military with the goal of annexing all of Europe to Germany. Compare that with Islam, which has similar goals. Hitler’s core belief of socialism is also parallel with the Democratic Party. The Tea Party has nothing in common with Hitler — what a ludicrous statement. And “The Big Lie” was a corny 1951 movie. (Although it has had many applications since, including to Hitler and our current administration.) Patsy Lassiter Mechanicsville
Platform, beliefs of Tea Party In response to “Hitler quoted on sign.” So Taylor
Rickard thinks that the Tea Party is comparable to Adolf Hitler. I have not heard that the Tea Party has murdered anyone for any reason. Hitler murdered over 6 million of his countrymen because of their ethnicity, or their political persuasion. On the other hand, the Democrats have condoned the murder of over 50 million innocent children because of their selfish me first ideology. The Tea Party is a grassroots group of concerned citizens that are tired of an out of control government that continually over steps its responsibility. The Tea party believes in a small government, low taxes, equal opportunity for everyone, individual liberty and freedom from government tyranny. We have a president that thinks he is king and can declare see LETTERS, pg. 8

COMMENTARY
RIR handles safety and security very well A NASCAR fan decided to add some excitement to the Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway by climbing atop the catch fence in turn 4 while drivers on the track below pushed their cars to speeds well above 100 miles per hour. The incident, which triggered a caution that could have affected the outcome of the race, has prompted some to call into question safety procedures at NASCAR racetracks in general and Richmond International Raceway specifically. Nate Ryan, a sports writer covering the NASCAR beat for USA Today, is one of those. In a quickly penned and posted piece entitled, “Fence-climbing stunt underscores dark side
Dave Lawrence/The Local
NASCAR comes to Richmond International Raceway twice a year. The recent Federated Auto Parts 400 generated unwelcome publicity when a fan climbed the fence in turn 4 while drivers were on the track. The incident, in the opinion of Dave Lawrence, The Mechanicsville Local’s sports editor, did not merit negative attention for the track.
The tweet, posted on the @ of NASCAR’s fan push,” Ryan rightly chides an unidentified RIRInsider account, said, “Hey track staffer for posting a tweet fence guy... +1 for most creative that could be viewed as not tak- #RIRselfie. #nascar.” That deserved criticism, ing the incident seriously.
and I suspect some barely 20something intern got a good lecture about adult judgment afterward. Now if that was all Ryan criticized, I would have nothing to write about now. But Ryan went on to all but accuse the track of negligence in allowing the fan – let’s call him Voldemort for he really should not be named (and immortalized) in print – to “… put himself in harm’s way.” Somehow, I do not feel Ryan’s statement is fair. I spent more than 30 hours at the track from Friday morning to Sunday morning (Sept. 5-7). While I use the Infield Media Center as a base of operations when covering NASCAR,

disasters, and to support others in need. “Some of our citizens are born Americans,” Lemons said, adding that, sadly, some of those citizens take many years to grasp the value and responsibilities of their legal status. “You have chosen to be Americans.” After the ceremony, as participants hugged family members and posed for photos, a jubilant Ana Saravanan of Glen Allen examined the citizenship packet and gifts, including a small American flag she had just received. A native of India, Saravanan,
a healthcare worker who has lived in the United States for seven years, said she came to America to pursue the dream of getting a good education and improving her own future and her son’s. “I’ll be very honored until the day I die,” Saravanan said. She added that she will always keep the things she has learned and the promises she made in her oath of allegiance in her mind. Saravanan said immigration officials were very helpful during her naturalization process, but admitted that preparing for her citizenship test was probably the hardest part of the process.
Milka Alcantara, a native of the Dominican Republic who moved to Richmond six years ago to be with her husband, Gerald Bullock, agreed that studying for the test was nervewracking. “But then it was so easy!” she said. When her brother-inlaw, Isaiah Thornton, asked if she had been nervous about the day’s ceremony, Alcantara laughed. “No, I wasn’t nervous! It was fun!” she said, adding that she felt happy and excited. When asked what’s next for her, Alcantara replied without hesitation, “I’m going to go get my passport!”

Lipscombe Appliance celebrates 50 years in business May marked half a century of serving the community; owner/operator says dedicated employees make the difference By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com
B
rothers Hugh and David Lipscombe opened the doors of Lipscombe Appliance in May 1964 with no employees – Hugh handled sales and David handled service. Fifty years later, the business still stands in its original spot at 8082 Mechanicsville Turnpike, although it doesn’t look the same. According to owner/ operator Greg Koegler, the Lipscombe brothers added an 8,400-square-foot warehouse to their growing business in 1972. The store has seen various changes and upgrades throughout its 50 years in business, Koegler said, including a total renovation and exterior improvements like new signs and awnings this spring. Nowadays, in addition to Koegler, the store has five employees to handle sales, service and delivery.
The Lipscombe brothers ran the business for 20 years before selling it to Molly Pinner, one of their employees, Koegler said. When Pinner was ready to step aside in 1996, Koegler, who was manager of Hanover Cleaners right next door to the appliance store, jumped at the

opportunity to purchase the business. Koegler’s family had always done business with Lipscombe, and he said he had developed a good relationship with the
store during his eight years of working nearby. “I’ve always wanted to own my own business and it had a good reputation,” Koegler said. “A lot of our customers are third generation.” Koegler said part of the secret of Lipscombe’s success in a world full of big box stores selling appliances is by having dedicated employees who deliver and service appliances, rather than farming those services out to a third party. Seeing familiar faces and having repeated good experiences builds trust, he said, Tom Haynie/The Local which leads to returning cliLipscombe Appliance in the village of Mechanicsville is celebrating 50 years in business.

| Death Notices & Funerals Owen Baird BAIRD, Owen F., age 92, passed away on September 20, 2014, surrounded by his family. He was preceded in passing by his loving wife of 50 years, Mildred J. Baird; and sisters, Viola B. Jones and Mamie B. Carter. He is survived by his daughter, Eva McMillan and husband, Chuck; son, Buddy Baird and wife, Shannon; son, Chuck Baird and wife, Liz; and son, Robert Baird and wife, Cate. Owen also leaves behind eight grandchildren and 11 great- grandchildren, with several more great-grandchildren expected to arrive in the coming weeks. Owen grew up in the small town of Gasburg in Brunswick County, where as a boy he worked the fields of the family farm. He was then called by Uncle Sam to serve in the U.S. Army and fulfilled his duty in the Pacific Theatre during WWII. Throughout his entire life, his strong and unwavering Christian faith guided him to be the decent, kind, loving and successful man he would become. After the war, Owen was called to become an educator and was appointed principal of Elizabeth Holladay Elementary School in
Henrico County. Owen helped influence the minds of several generations of students that numbered into the thousands. When school was not in session, Owen would organize and lead trips abroad, where he escorted friends and family all over the world. After retirement, Owen continued to travel, wrote six books, enjoyed working in his greenhouse and garden and willingly donated his time and energy to countless organizations throughout his community. In his mid 70s, Owen became a founding member of a local Gospel Music group known as The Survivors. The group formed from friendships developed at the Gospel Chicken House in Hanover County. The group played free of charge at retirement and nursing homes throughout the region and also recorded an album of timeless and classic Gospel Music. It is fitting that his Life Celebration Service will be held at The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen where Owen volunteered so much of his time and energy. The celebration will take place 4 p.m. Thursday September 25, 2014. The public is invited to attend.

Her children, Michael Frank Sacramo, of Atlanta, Georgia and Cathie Sacramo Thomas (Harold) of Mechanicsville; grandchildren, Natalie Thomas Sipe (Casey), Michael Frank Sacramo Jr. (Kacie), Morgan Elizabeth Thomas, Carson Fleming Thomas, Colton Nicholas Sacramo, and Courtney Michelle Sacramo; and her cousin, Mark Russell of Brussels, Belgium.

She moved to the United States after marrying a U.S. solider and gained her citizenship in 1966. She was a long time resident of Atlanta, Georgia, where she worked for over 30 years in the International Department at Bank of America, formerly C & S Bank, before retiring. She moved to Mechanicsville in 2011. She always made her family a top priority in her life; whether traveling abroad to stay close with her mother, brother, and sister, or spending time with her children and grandchildren, Viviane found joy in being close to those that she loved. She was an exceptional cook and an avid fan of numerous cooking shows. She was always ready to try a new recipe for family meals. Family and
friends were invited to attend a graveside service in Signal Hill Memorial Park, Hanover, on Tuesday, September 23, 2014. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions be made to the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation. http://cholangiocarcinoma.org/donate-online/ Condolences may be offered at www.woodyfuneralhomeatlee. com.

Gethsemane to celebrate Grand Opening with dedication Photos submitted by Martha Wilkerson and Marty Martin
Gethsemane Church of Christ in Mechanicsville is announcing the Grand Opening of a new wing to its existing main worship center. A new building dedication will be held at 1:30 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28. Gethsemane Church of Christ was established in Hanover County at its present site in 1867. After the original building was burned, the current brick structure was dedicated in 1948. A fellowship hall with classroom space was added in 1972. As a growing congregation of over 500 people, Gethsemane recognized the need for growth in its facilities to serve the community so, in 2013, the church decided to expand specifically for children’s programming and a welcoming entrance way. The addition will provide a welcome center, cafe, a more centralized and secure children’s area, improved entrance way, additional parking and an elevator. The public is invited to join in the celebration. The photo at left was dated 1933 and shows the original church. The middle one was taken around 1965. At right, the new Gethsemane Church of Christ as it has appears today.

The Cold Harbor Ruritan Club recently donated $600 to Hanover High School to go towards championship rings for the baseball team. Shown are, from left, coach Charlie Dragum of Hanover High and Norman Griffin of the Cold Harbor Ruritan Club. The team finished the season as the 4A Virginia State Champs. They ended the season with a record of 20-3. They won the Conference 20 Title and the East 4A Regional Title. They were undefeated in the state of Virginia and second year in a row they had not lost a home game and they were back to back State Champs. They have raised half the money for the rings and Ruritan club members challenged other clubs in the area to match their donation of $600 to help the team members get championship rings.

RIR Continued from pg. 7
my duties as a photographer require me to get out and walk around – a lot. Saturday night, I spent most of the first quarter to first third of the race on the grandstand side of the track. I also have some training in anticipating and responding to hazardous situations from my prior years of working in environmental management and my current other life as a professional divemaster. One thing I noticed as I walked around was the presence of quite a few Henrico police officers supported by staff from RMC Events in yellow or red polo shirts. They are a familiar presence at the track. Most of the time they are helpful. Sometimes they are an annoyance when they try to hinder me and my fellow members of the press from doing our
jobs – I ran into a bit of both help and hindrance on that particular Saturday. I don’t think I have ever seen either the police or the private security staff inclined to “allow” members of the crowd to put themselves in danger. Saturday night, about 200 laps before Voldemort decided to make his pitch for ignominy, I walked from the Ferris wheel in turn 3 around turn 4. I did not notice any lack of security personnel in the area in question. I noticed a grandstand packed with fans. I noticed the police officers and RMC staff try to professionally – and, more often than not, pleasantly – try to keep the fans on the walkway from stalling and blocking views, exits and stairways. I even saw some try to respond to possible emergencies in the seats. It is not an easy task to spot or respond to reports
of trouble in an environment where a massive crowd, massive noise and massive lights (often in your eyes) attempts to overwhelm your ability to filter out what details are important from those that aren’t. In a press conference Monday, Richmond International Raceway president Dennis Bickmeier said early indications are that Voldemort took advantage of an incident requiring the attention of nearby security personnel to find an opening for his scramble up the fence. While I am sure the track could hire even more security personnel, I doubt anything but a phalanx of National Guard troops could prevent such a determined individual from pursuing such dangerous folly. And such a phalanx would ruin fans’ view of the track. “I hate for the actions of one to ruin the experience for many,
so we have to really, really balance that,” Bickmeier said. “The experience here at Richmond for fans is a really positive one, and I don’t really want to … take steps back.” Bickmeier said, however, that “… safety is always, always our No. 1 concern.” Henrico police and track officials are reviewing the incident to see what they can learn from Voldemort’s stunt. That is an effort I wholeheartedly approve of. But promoting a safe environment is not purely the raceway’s, NASCAR’s nor the Henrico Police Department’s responsibility. It is the fans’ responsibility as well. And for the fans, I have a safety recommendation which, had Voldemort followed it, would have saved us all a lot of trouble. Here it is: Don’t be jerks.

HHHUNT Continued from pg. 20
HHHunt Homes; the aggressive pace of our growth; our plan to expand into new markets; the need to develop our people within the organization and our unique company culture,” said Daniel T. Schmitt, president and chief operating officer of HHHunt, parent company of HHHunt Homes. “After a rigorous evaluation process that included multiple key leaders within our industry, we have invited Larry Wisdom to join us as president of HHHunt Homes. We’re very pleased to welcome him.” Wisdom comes to HHHunt Homes from Essex Homes, a private homebuilder in Columbia, South Carolina, ranked as the nation’s 76th largest builder. There, he was the first non-owner president of the company’s Columbia Division. Prior to his role with Essex
Homes, Wisdom served as the first non-owner president of Keystone Custom Homes in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Under his leadership, and coinciding with the worst economic conditions since the Great Depression, Keystone Custom Homes became the 111th largest homebuilder in the United States – great strides from its 237th position. Additionally, the builder achieved annual profitability while becoming ranked by the Central Penn Business Journal as the number one homebuilder in the marketplace – a rank consistently held during Wisdom’s seven-year tenure. Wisdom attended Marmion Military Academy and Aurora University in Aurora, Illinois. Throughout his career, he has risen through industry ranks and successfully assumed top leadership positions with see HHHUNT, pg. 30

Patriots stun Lee-Davis in Tomato Bowl By Sean Korsgaard for The Mechanicsville Local
The Patrick Henry Patriots are in a rebuilding year — they began the season with back-toback losses to Hanover County rivals Hanover and Atlee. But Friday night, the Patriots earned a hard-fought victory against their biggest rival of all — LeeDavis. In what proved to be a competitive, back-and-forth slugfest between the two long-time rivals, Patrick Henry defeated the Confederates 17-14 in the 56th Tomato Bowl. The last time the Patriots (1-2) won the Tomato Bowl was four years ago when Sam Hart coached the team. This year, they won it with Hart’s son, Hunter, leading the offense as starting quarterback. Lee-Davis (1-2), playing for a packed home crowd, stumbled in a game where penalties, close calls and near misses cost the Confederates dearly. “We had a lot of opportunities out on that field tonight,” said Lee-Davis head coach Ryan Turnage. “We dropped a touchdown, we missed a field goal, there were a lot of chances tonight we just didn’t take advantage of and Patrick Henry did.” The opening plays of the first quarter resulted in turnovers by both teams, with Patrick Henry converting a Confederate giveaway into a

Patrick Henry quarterback Hunter Hart (16) pitches the ball to running back Bender Vaught (30) in the Patriots’ 17-14 victory over host Lee-Davis in the 56th Tomato Bowl Friday.
94-yard drive capped by a 3yard touchdown run by Hart, giving the Patriots both their first touchdown of the season, and — after the conversion by kicker Logan Bulthuis — a 7-0 lead as the first quarter came to a close. Lee-Davis rallied in the
second quarter, with their first drive of the quarter ending with the first of two 1-yard touchdown runs by running back Nathan Evans. A false start penalty on the point-after attempt moved the Confederates back 5 yards. The second attempt at a conversion was blocked.
The next Lee-Davis drive would end yet again end with a score by Evans, this one followed up by a 2-point conversion on a pass from Confederate quarterback Chase Mummau to wide receiver Chris Bundy to give Lee-Davis a 14-7 lead. A turnover by Patrick Henry
would give the Confederates another scoring chance in the second quarter, but the drive ended in a missed field goal. The second half turned into a slog as both teams came up short on several drives. But the Patriots managed to tie the game in the third on a 1-yard

run by Hart and point-after by Bulthuis. At the start of the fourth quarter, Patrick Henry made several mistakes that nearly cost them the game, including two turnovers that both resulted in drives by the Confederates that the Patriots managed to stop just short of the end zone. The last big offensive drive by Patrick Henry stalled at the 10-yard line, but Bulthuis nailed a 27-yard field goal that would gave the Patriots all the edge they needed for their first victory of the season. But it was not over. LeeDavis mounted a furious comeback attempt. The Confederates reached the red zone, but their hopes for a fourth-straight Tomato Bowl victory ended with Cade Harris’ interception of a Mummau pass in the back of the end zone with 1:14 to go. “I’m happy we finally won,” said Bulthuis. “The entire team played our hearts out, I’m just glad I got to do my part.” The victory was the first for Patrick Henry’s new head coach, Bryan Davis. “It feels awesome, the kids really gave it their all out there tonight,” said Davis. “The team’s been working hard this year. It’s taken a lot of effort, belief. We’ve made a few mistakes along the way, but the team’s really starting to come together, and I’m glad they have tonight see TOMATO, pg. 36

Hawks celebrate past and present victories By Matt Stoss for The Mechanicsville Local Michael Pocta tidily summed up the philosophy of the Hanover High School football team. “Hit hard, play hard, and whatever happens happens,” the Hawks’ linebacker said after Friday night’s 28-14 non-conference win over Hopewell. “We’ve never been a speed team. We go chunks and chunks at a time.” The Hawks use more bludgeon than glamour. And it worked as well as it ever has against Hopewell. After a key defensive stand — Pocta, despite a broken right hand, deflected a probable Blue Devils’ touchdown pass near the goal line on fourth down — the Hawks chunked their way 91 yards on 15 plays for nearly 7 minutes to a 1-yard touchdown run by quarterback Clayton Cheatham. That score made it 21-7 with 4:59 left in the game and essentially sealed the win for the Hawks (3-0) on a night when Hanover honored its state champions from the previous school year. Before the game, Hanover gave rings to its individual state champions from 2013-14 – girls’ swimmer Sarah Browning (500 freestyle), girls’ triple jumper Taylor McCormick, and wrestlers Corbin Allen (152 pounds) and J.D. Gregory (126) — and at halftime, the state-champion wrestling and baseball teams received their rings. It was an appropriate environment for the football team’s win. “The tipped pass, it gave our defense a little more momentum, a little more swagger,” Hanover head football coach Derek Stoudt said. “The drive at the end of the game was huge. The drive at the end of the

game was when we put the nail in the coffin, and you could feel the energy on the sideline just building.” Cheatham finished with 126 rushing yards on 21 carries. The 6-foot-2, 204-pound sophomore also scored three touchdowns, part of dominating, 348-yard ground performance by the Hawks. Hanover’s leading rusher was

running back Brooks Coombs. The 6-foot, 200-pound senior had 145 yards on 20 carries. On the 91-yard drive, Coombs had six carries for 40 yards, and Hanover averaged more than 6 yards a play en route to breaking open a game that had an overtime feel for much of the second half. “That’s what our coach preaches,” Coombs said. “We
condition a lot, so we’re a fourthquarter team. I knew they were wearing down because we were getting big plays. They just couldn’t handle us anymore.” On the drive preceding Hanover’s 91-yarder, Hopewell (2-1) went 63 yards, all the way to the Hawks’ 6-yard line before a sack on second and goal dropped it back to the 9. The Blue Devils couldn’t get
any closer. Quarterback Cameren Hill’s passes on third and fourth down landed incomplete, the latter because of Pocta’s deflection. “I actually watched him roll out,” Pocta said. “I saw him going, I saw the ball go up and I jumped and reached all I could and got it with the tips of my fingers. That’s about it.” The son of former William & Mary standout linebacker Dave Pocta, Michael has been playing with a Hanover High
School-colored piece of spongy armor on his right forearm. He said it’s there to protect a fracture in his right hand, which he hurt a month ago during preseason practice. He said the cast comes off in about a week and a half. It will be nice when that happens, too. Although he’s done OK while pretending to be left-handed, Pocta said he’s not especially good at it. “No, not at all,” the 6-foot, 205-pound senior said. “I’ve learned.” Pocta and the Hawks’ defense held Hopewell to less than 300 yards of offense while the Blue Devils collected about 100 yards’ worth of penalties, including several personal fouls. Hanover also contained Hill, an elusive and slight 5-9, 152pounder willing to run back and forth across the pocket all game if it means someone — maybe Darrell Taylor, a four-star prospect as rated by Rivals who has scholarships offers from several Bowl Championship Series schools, including Virginia Tech — will get open.

Raiders win over Rebels By Arthur Utley for The Mechanicsville Local The Atlee football team’s offense has scored 168 points in the first three games of the season. That comes as no surprise. The Raiders have outstanding running backs in Loumond Dandridge and A.J. Zollar. The pass-catching crew gives new quarterback Rasharrd Harris a plethora of options. And Harris has shown he can direct Atlee’s hurry-up style with aplomb. The offense is so good it is easy to overlook the Raiders’ defense that is stocked with experience – including standout defensive lineman/linebacker Ricky DeBerry, who transferred from St. Christopher’s. Every day in practice the offense has to deal with the
defense. And vice versa. “The way we play our games is how we practice,” Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson said following the Raiders’ 49-7 victory over Douglas Freeman Friday night. “We’re fortunate we have enough players to use two platoons (70-plus squad is split almost equally). “People don’t realize our defense is pretty good. We’ve got a lot of work to do overall, but defensively we’re just as good as we are on offense. I think that’s what helps our offense because our defense shuts us down. The only team that has stopped us is us.” The Raiders, 3-0 and ranked No. 3 in the Times-Dispatch Top 10, pounded eighth-ranked Douglas Freeman (2-1) on offense and defense in Atlee’s first home game of the season.

Atlee, which suffered its only regular-season loss in 2013 to a more experienced Freeman team, dominated ball possession against the Rebels this time. Dandridge rushed for 148 yards on 17 carries and scored three touchdowns, including a 68-yard bolt up the middle for the first touchdown of the game. Zollar and Malik White also scored rushing touchdowns. Harris passed for 220 yards and threw TD strikes to Justin Hall and Tramell Carey. Nine different receivers caught passes. Meanwhile, Douglas Freeman running back Evan Tyler kept running into Raiders’ linebacker Chad Vanlandingham and Chalin Fairly and managed only 35 yards in 13 carries. Rebel quarterback Tanner Toy scored on a 30-yard run but had a tough night passing. With the running attack stalled, Toy was forced to throw, and he was under defensive pres-

Atlee gets combination right against Patrick Henry By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com For the first two games, Atlee’s girls’ volleyball team looked like it would roll over host Patrick Henry last Monday night. The Patriots bit back in the third game, but they could not sustain the momentum as they fell to the defending state champion Raiders in four games, 31. Both teams lost key players to graduation last year. Atlee (5-2) is also missing a starter, Molly Jarvis, because of an injury. So both Raiders’ head coach Curtis Carpenter and Patrick Henry head coach Billy Farmer are trying to find the best combinations of players to put on the court together. “Right now I’m trying to piecemeal together a rotation,” Carpenter said. “I thought we had pretty good control of the match so I wanted to get some young girls in just to pretty much figure out what we had and what we can do, and I let

The Blue Devils failed to recover an onside kick, and Hanover scored three plays later on a 48-yard run by Cheatham to make 28-14 with 1:21 left. “We went into halftime; we had two picks over there, so, obviously, we tried to keep it on the ground,” said Cheatham, who was 3-of-6 for 26 yards passing with two interceptions. “We want to drive the ball down the field, take as much time as we could, and that’s what we did and we scored and, luckily, came out with the win tonight.”
down run at 31 yards. The 65, 227-pound Taylor ran down Coombs from behind in the open field. At least on this play, Taylor bested Hanover’s game plan for him. “Get away from him – run away from him,” Stoudt said. “He would go up there, we would look at [the formation] and we would run the opposite way from him because he’s just so rangy.” Hill completed 20 of 39 passes for 192 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions. He also rushed for 63 yards on 16 carries, including Hopewell a 3-yard touchdown to make Hanover

in the match, but Patrick Henry kept finding a way to pull ahead to claim a 25-23 win. The momentum boost was short lived. Atlee easily surged to a 25-10 win. Both teams have plenty of work to do to improve this season. “I wanted to see how my youngsters rose to the occasion,” Carpenter said. “They were up-and-down, so they rose and they fell, but … to get back to where we want to be, we’ve got a lot of work to do.

Long shot gives Guilford win over R-MC By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Randolph-Macon College’s men’s soccer team may have dominated visiting Guilford in terms of possession time, but the Quakers got the goal. Forward Rob Sandidge fired a long rocket of a shot just beyond the grasp of Yellow Jacket keeper Michael Bly in the 33rd minute to lead Guilford to a 1-0 Old Dominion Athletic Conference victory. “[Sandidge] is a very talented player,” said RandolphMacon head soccer coach Peter McEvoy. “Everybody has to be worried about him in the league. He won a ball. We went on an attack, and he went through and won it. He had a long-range shot and beat our keeper.” Bly had a solid game, with seven saves of the eight shots on goal throughout the game. But the Yellow Jackets (1-5, 02 ODAC), despite controlling the ball for much of the game, could not penetrate the Quaker defense as they closed in on the Guilford net. Randolph-Macon managed only one shot-on-goal against Guilford keeper Marko Mandalinic. “The first half was a little bit even, but we got it in,” said Guilford soccer coach Jeff
Bateson. “The second half they were on top of us a bit more than I would have liked, but our guys gutted it out and played good defense and sealed the win.” Bateson said the Quakers (3-5, 2-0) got off the bus a bit sluggish, but as the first half progressed, they warmed up. “About 15 or 20 minutes in we started pressuring their midfielders and their backs, and started getting the ball in the middle,” Bateson said. “And then Rob just had a great shot.” McEvoy said the Yellow Jackets had their chances. “We weren’t accurate with our shots,” McEvoy said. “I thought we had a majority of the play. The play was in their half of the field the majority of the time. We’re just not good enough finishing changes and creating enough chances. … That’s our dilemma.” Randolph-Macon aggressively crashed the Guilford net as time ran out in the second half, but the Quakers took advantage of that aggressive posture. “We had to play numbers forward. We normally play four defenders. Late in the game, we’re down a goal, so we take a defender and push him higher,”
“I’ve had a set group that I’ve been playing most of the Continued from pg. 36 time,” Farmer said. “Tonight, I just changed things up. It’s really Farmer said the members hard. You get a group going and of his team need to get more then you just make one little familiar with each other’s style change, and somebody’s not used to playing beside another of play.

McEvoy said. “So we’re playing with three defenders. That creates a lot of space on the flanks. So when they [won] it, they were just knocking balls to our defensive corners. They were running it down and putting some pressure [on us] just to kill some time, clearly just waiting and sitting on that one-goal lead.” Guilford 1 0—1 Randolph-Macon 0 0 — 0 G — Rob Sandidge (unassisted) Saves: Marco Mandalinic (G) 1; Michael Bly (R-MC) 7.

sure all night. He completed seven of 24 passes for 76 yards and was picked off by Brandon Crosby, Kamari Davis, DeBerry and Ja’Qui Givens. The Raiders also recovered a fumble. Dealing with Atlee’s offense and defense is equally tough according to Douglas Freeman coach Mike Henderson. “We couldn’t move the ball at all and turned the ball over five or six times; I lost count. We put our defense in so many holes there wasn’t even a chance to make it a ball game,” Henderson said. One of the Raiders’ most effective weapons was placekicker Ethan Ratke. Successful on all seven extra-point tries, he also logged five touchbacks on kickoffs.
Douglas Freeman’s sole touchdown followed pass completions of 23 and 27 yards from Toy to Andrew Oostdyk, who caught four passes for 74 yards. Penalties continue to be the Raiders’ one main bugaboo. “The penalties we had on the offensive line is because of being tired and not focusing,” Johnson said. “We need to run more. I’m not saying run more to punish them — run more to be in better shape.” The Raiders are on the road again the next two weeks. This week they travel to unbeaten Henrico, which has posted three shutouts, including 41-0 against Deep Run, a team Atlee beat 63-20. In two weeks, Atlee travels to Hanover, which also is unbeaten through three games but faces Highland Springs this week.

Yellow Jackets find way to win against Sewanee By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The Randolph-Macon College football team had a learning experience against visiting Sewanee at Day Field Saturday. Fortunately for the Yellow Jackets, the learning experience came with a happy ending. After going into halftime down six points, RandolphMacon’s defense shut down the Tigers’ wishbone for most of the second half, the Yellow Jackets’ offense erupted for 20 points in the third quarter and Randolph-Macon coasted to a 34-20 victory. “I think this game was really good for our football team,” said Randolph-Macon head football coach Pedro Arruza. “We encountered a lot of tough situations and I thought our guys really battled. I thought our guys played real hard. We didn’t flinch. They showed us some different looks early in the first half.” Sewanee’s wishbone offense was skillfully run by the Tigers’ starting quarterback Cody Daniel, who was a rare threat for such an offense – he could throw as well as run. The Yellow Jackets struggled to contain him in the first half, although they did stop the Sewanee offense short of the goal line twice – forcing the Tigers to settle for two field goals instead. “Two series the first half, they held us to a field goal,” said Sewanee head football coach Tommy Laurendine. “We left eight points on the field the first half. … We got down their close today. We just didn’t make it happen inside the red zone.” Randolph-Macon had its share of offensive struggles in the first half, especially when a penalty killed a potential scoring drive. “Against a team like this that

sions, and when we did have possessions, we kind of got behind the chains a little bit.” But the Yellow Jackets picked up momentum and showed they were not going to go down
easy the second half. After gaining just 113 yards total offense in the first half, they nearly doubled that amount in the second, finishing with 317 yards by game’s end.
“They came out in some different looks that we weren’t really expecting,” said Randolph-Macon quarterback Zac Naccarato. “They mix it up on offense and they mix it up on defense. Our defense did a great job of keeping it close to let us be able to adjust to everything that they were throwing at us. “We did a good job of just not panicking and getting back to the sideline telling the coaches what we saw and what they were giving us, and our coaches did a great job of … drawing up schemes of our base plays, just running them against their [defensive] schemes. I think we
did a great job of executing later on in that first half and in the second half we just picked up where we left off.” Conversely, Sewanee’s offense headed in the opposite direction. The Tigers picked up 182 yards in the first half, but finished with just 308. Most of their additional yardage came on their final touchdown, a 46yard run by Daniel. Randolph-Macon cornerback Deshaun Rogers, a former standout at Lee-Davis, said the defense did not need to change strategy in the second half. Another type of adjustment was required. “We just knew we had to get used to [Sewanee’s] speed,” Rogers said. “Coach told us before coming in since it’s the first time we’ve seen the option, it was going to take a while to get used to the speed of all the trickery and things. So it just took us a little while to get clicking.” Sewanee R-MC
