OPINION | The Local Views

LETTERS

From the editor

Sandy, we’re glad you passed us by We were ready. Well, as ready as one can be when a hurricane is heading your way. Thankfully, Hurricane Sandy did not wreak the destruction on our fair community as we have seen the images and read the articles about the path up the East Coast.

Many of us have family and friends in areas affected. Communication has been limited at times.

In the midst of several hotly contested political races heading into the Nov. 6 general election, the forces that be in terms of weather patterns reminded us who is in charge. And, while this writer will readily admit to lacking in science skills, I will take note when the meteorologists start sending out the warnings and advisories.

You don’t have to tell me twice to get bottled water or have flashlights handy. My mother taught me well in that regard. I may not have been a Boy Scout (I was a Girl Scout for many years), but I believe in their motto “Be prepared.”

It was a huge relief that we did not receive what had been predicted as possibly hitting our little piece of the world.

The rains and winds came and went — and, again, we were thankful that we did not experience any loss of life or significant damages to homes, businesses, etc.

On Saturday, Oct. 27, there was an uneasiness about the gloomy skies.

And then a memory appeared. The year was 1977 and Jay Rockefeller was governor of West Virginia.

In what has become known as the “Rockefeller Blizzard,” the streets of my hometown were abuzz with a mixture of excitement and anxiety at what may be coming our way.

Well, nothing happened. Seriously. Nothing.

Thoughts turned to that day and standing on a street corner watching in amusement (I was at that “I’m invincible” age).

Sandy passed and Rockefeller’s Blizzard didn’t materialize. Either way, it’s out of our control and thinking like a Boy Scout is the best plan.

Founding Fathers and defining deists I notice that your newspaper has an ongoing debate concerning the religious nature of the Founding Fathers.

A recent letter, by a Steve Sneed, claimed that most of the Founding Fathers were deists, and pointed to founders like Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Hamilton and Madison as proof. It is very clear that he has not read the voluminous writings of these incredible men of faith. However, this is no surprise since the U.S. Department of Education claims that only 5 percent of high school graduates know how to examine primary source original documentation.

Interestingly, the claims in this recent letter to the editor are characteristic of similar claims appearing in hundreds of letters to the editor across the nation. The standard assertion is that the Founders were deists.

Deists? What is a deist? In dictionaries like Websters, Funk & Wagnalls, Century, and others, the terms “deist,” “agnostic” and “atheist” appear as synonyms.

Therefore, the range of a deist spans from those who believe there is no God, to those who believe in a distant, impersonal creator of the universe, to those who believe there is no way to know if God exists. Do the Founders fit any of these definitions?

None of the notable Founders fit this description. In Benjamin Franklin’s 1749 plan of education for public schools in Pennsylvania, he insisted that schools teach “the necessity of a public religion . . . and the excellency of the Christian religion above all others, ancient or modern.”

Consider also the fact that Franklin proposed a Biblical inscription for the Seal of the United States; that he chose a New Testament verse for the motto of the Philadelphia Hospital; that he was one of the chief voices behind the establishment of a paid chaplain in Congress; and that when in 1787 when Franklin helped found the college which bore his name, it was dedicated as “a nursery of religion and learning” built “on Christ, the Corner-Stone.”

Franklin certainly doesn’t fit the definition of a deist.

Nor does George Washington. He was an open promoter of Christianity. For example, in his speech on May 12, 1779, he claimed that what children needed to learn “above all” was the “religion of Jesus Christ,” and that to learn this would make them “greater and happier than they already are;” on May 2, 1778, he charged his soldiers at Valley Forge that “To the distinguished character of patriot, it should be our highest glory to add the more distinguished character of Christian;” and when he resigned his commission as commander-in-chief of the military on June 8, 1783, he reminded the nation that “without a humble imitation” of “the Divine Author of our blessed religion” we “can never

hope to be a happy nation.” Washington’s own adopted daughter declared of Washington that you might as well question his patriotism as to question his Christianity.

Alexander Hamilton was certainly no deist. For example, Hamilton began work with the Rev. James Bayard to form the Christian Constitutional Society to help spread over the world the two things which Hamilton said made America great: (1) Christianity and (2) a Constitution formed under Christianity.

Only Hamilton’s death two months later thwarted his plan of starting a missionary society to promote Christian government. And at the time he did face his death in his duel with Aaron Burr, Hamilton met and prayed with the Rev. Mason and Bishop Moore, wherein he reaffirmed to him his readiness to face God should he die, having declared to them “a lively faith in God’s mercy through Christ, with a thankful remembrance of the death of Christ.” At that time, he also partook of Holy Communion with Bishop Moore.

The reader, as do many others, claimed that Jefferson omitted all miraculous events of Jesus from his “Bible.”

Rarely do those who make this claim let Jefferson speak for himself.

Jefferson’s own words explain that his intent for that book was not for it to be a “Bible,” but rather for it to be a primer for the Indians on the teachings of Christ (which is why Jefferson titled that work, “The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth”). What Jefferson did was to take the “red letter” portions of the New Testament and publish these teachings in order to introduce the Indians to Christian morality.

And as President of the United States, Jefferson signed a treaty with the Kaskaskia tribe wherein he provided — at the government’s expense — Christian missionaries to the Indians.

In fact, Jefferson himself declared, “I am a real Christian, see LETTERS, pg. 8

that is to say, a disciple of the doctrines of Jesus.” While many might question this claim, the fact remains that Jefferson called himself a Christian, not a deist.

James Madison trained for ministry with the Rev. Dr. John Witherspoon, and Madison’s writings are replete with declarations of his faith in God

or are currently serving in the Armed Forces.

and in Christ. In fact, for proof of this, one only need read his letter to Attorney General Bradford wherein Madison laments that public officials are not bold enough about their Christian faith in public and that public officials should be “fervent advocates in the cause of Christ.”

And while Madison did allude to a “wall of separation,” contemporary writers frequently refuse to allow Madison to pro-

vide his own definition of that “wall.” According to Madison, the purpose of that “wall” was only to prevent Congress from passing a national law to establish a national religion.

None of the Founders mentioned fit the definition of a deist. And as is typical with those who make this claim, they name only a handful of Founders and then generalize the rest. This in itself is a mistake, for there are over 200 Founders (55 at the Constitutional Convention, 90 who framed the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights, and 56 who signed the Declaration) and any generalization of the Founders as deists is completely inaccurate.

The reason that such critics never mention any other Founders is evident. For example, consider what must be explained away if the following signers of the Constitution were to be mentioned: Charles Pinckney and John Langdon, founders of the American Bible Society; James McHenry, founder of the Baltimore Bible Society; Rufus King helped found a Bible society for Anglicans;

Abraham Baldwin, a chaplain in the Revolution and considered the youngest theologian in America; Roger Sherman, William Samuel Johnson, John Dickinson and Jacob Broom, also theological writers; James Wilson and William Patterson placed on the Supreme Court by President George Washington - they had prayer over juries in the U.S. Supreme Court room; and the list could go on. And this does not even include the huge number of thoroughly evangelical Christians who signed the Declaration or who helped frame the Bill of Rights.

Any portrayal of any handful of Founders as deists is inaccurate. (If this group had really wanted some irreligious Founders, they should have chosen Henry Dearborne, Charles Lee or Ethan Allen).

Perhaps critics should spend more time reading the writings of the Founders to discover their religious beliefs for themselves rather than making such sweeping accusations which are so easily disproven.

Starting today (Wednesday, Nov. 7), the Walnut Grove Baptist Church will host weekly support group meetings for parents of addicted children From 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., “Connecting With Your Addicted Child” is designed to provide a compassionate, yet no-holdsbarred forum to educate parents who have teenagers or adult children with addictions

The weekly sessions will discuss the many ways in which substance abuse affects the mind and the behaviors, of young drug addicts. From feelings of social and spiritual isolation, to guilt, shame, anger and resentment, addicted children often have a story to tell, one that their parents may not be ready to hear, but must if there’s to be any hope of recovery.

After the meal, Amy Ladd entertained the group with country music.

Those that honored Thomas with their attendance at Post 175 were Nancy Brown-Park from California, the national vice president, and Mary “Dubbie” Buckler, who is national secretary/executive director of the ALA and is from Indiana.

There also were several past national presidents in

attendance: Anna Gear from Virginia, Linda Newsome from Maryland, Joann Cronin from Missouri, Jan PulvermacherRyan from Wisconsin, Kris Nelson from Minnesota, Lib Stewart from North Carolina and Desi Stoy from Ohio.

There also were several other ALA national officers here to honor Thomas.

Anne Starke, the current department president, as well as several past department presidents, were in attendance to celebrate Thomas’s Homecoming.

James Koutz of Indiana, the American Legion National Commander, along with his wife attended.

Are you serious about losing weight? You can virtually melt away your FAT without strenuous dieting or excessive exercising. This is the best weight loss secret to come along in years—when you’re talking about FAST EFFECTIVE weight loss.

HOLD ON!!!

You might be afraid the “solution” will be worse than the problem, but let me assure you, it’s not! When you schedule an appointment you’re going to receive something that NOT only helps you lose weight, but also helps your appearance, your face, your complexion and even your body structure.

Listen, I am a regular practicing doctor in Trappe, and I love helping people, just like you, lose that stubborn weight, without dieting, and then how to keep it off— permanently.

Safe and Easy!

My exclusive weight loss management system is completely SAFE and has been proven to work.

It is based on scientific principles that cause almost immediate changes and is strictly administered along common sense protocols.

Here’s what most people don’t understand. When you’re heavy, you lose your strength, vitality, and you can become feeble. And on top of that you can age prematurely because your “fat” cells clog your body’s vital organs.That will change after you start utilizing this system.

You may be like some people who have lost their figure due to this “fat” clogging weight gain. The problem is, most overweight people are unable to find a simple, easy to follow system to reduce their fat

and then keep it off. Even their coordination, daily movement and attractiveness are destroyed with this weight gain.That will all change when you start using this system.

Here is what I can do for you.

First my staff will send you a form to fill out before you schedule an appointment. This is so you and I are on the same page, before you ever step foot in my office. You won’t have to make any radical changes in your lifestyle with this program, have surgery, or take any harmful drugs. Your treatments will be private and you will start to lose 1-2 pounds per day, depending on your size, age, condition of your body and follow through. You will consult with me personally on a weekly basis for follow up and questions. Once you’ve reached you desired weight, you’ll have your shape back, have more energy, and you’ll have your self-esteem back.

Doesn’t get any better than that.

“The plan was easy and seeing the scale go down a pound a day was enough to keep me on track. My husband was pleased that he has me back to the weight before children. I feel better and when I went for my yearly physical my blood work was the best I had seen in twenty years. Blood pressure was down, and all my bad numbers were back down into the low normal range. My doctor spent more time asking about the program than we spent on my physical!”

Delegate addresses HRWC about ‘grassroots’ activisim

i’m a memorial regional baby

Member hosts N.J. governor at business Del. L. Scott Lingamfelter, R-31, was the featured speaker at the October meeting of the Hanover Republican Women’s Club.

He emphasized the importance of “grassroots” activism in the Nov. 6 election.

Policy differences espoused

by Gov. Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama also were discussed.

A question and answer period followed.

Melissa Ball, a member of the HRWC and the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), hosted New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at her business, Ball Office Products in Richmond.

Christie addressed a crowd of 500 people in the Ball Office Products parking lot.

Members of the HRWC have been busy distributing yard signs, campaign materials, working the phone center, hosting coffees and other activities

I was born at Memorial Regional Medical Center. Unlike every other baby, I was premature and underweight. But because I was born at Memorial Regional, Mommy and Daddy weren’t worried — they knew I was in good hands. And thanks to the care and attention I received, my parents decided to have my little brother at Memorial Regional as well.

struggling to make ends meet and keep jobs as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt extended his “helping hand.”

The cast includes several rather odd and eccentric members of the Sycamore family,

who lived presumably just off Central Park in New York City.

Ultimately, the play becomes an allegory pitting the lifestyles of the hardworking wealthy against the more complacent and artistic strands of American society, or aggressive individuals contrasted with contented

laid-back Americans.

The play won a Pulitzer Prize and is the most popular American family comedy of the 20th century, and inspired a film of the same name starring Jimmy Stewart.

Ticket prices are $5 for students and adults and are available in the lobby.

Studio offers paint-your-own pottery Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Paint-your-own pottery is being offered at Gather and Glaze, a studio located at 7225 Bell Creek Rd., Suite 248, in the Hanover Square South shopping center in Mechanicsville.

The studio, which opened in August, offers a creative way to spend time with family, friends or by yourself.

Owner Kristina Rhodes invites customers to “Pick a piece to paint, choose your colors, and enjoy – not only is the process fun, but in the end you’ll have a personalized piece for yourself or a friend.”

“It’s a kid-friendly environment where parents can work with their children on something and really see how their chil-

dren are growing and making decisions – through their creativity,” she added.

Rhodes said her studio allows participants to “choose a piece of pottery, figure out your design, and paint. You can use tools such as sponges and even toothbrushes to make your pottery into anything you envision.”

She said Gather and Glaze has an Idea Center complete with books, tools, stamps, stencils and more “to get you going in the right direction, with help from staff if you need it.”

When the piece is finished, she said the staff gives it a dip in a clear glaze and fires it. “Your piece will be ready for pick-up in about a week.”

According to Rhodes, pottery ranges in price from $5 to $40. A 50 percent studio

fee is applied to each piece to cover the cost of glaze, tools and firing.

Gather and Glaze is a member of the Contemporary Ceramics Studio Association.

Rhodes comes from the Northeast and worked in the Information Technology field before opening her first pottery studio in Northern Virginia in 2002. After moving to Hanover County, she decided to open Gather and Glaze.

She has a Master’s degree from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.

She and her husband are animal lovers who reside with their daughter in Beaverdam.

Atlee takes volleyball titles, Hall repeats as Central Region champ Raiders hold off C-feds in championship

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Despite getting a bit of a scare from Lee-Davis in the final, the Atlee Raiders remained the reigning Capital District girls’ volleyball tournament champions.

Top-seed Atlee swept its way through the semifinals and final on its home court, defeating Hanover 3-0 Thursday and the second-seeded Confederates www.mechlocal.com 3-0 Friday.

Atlee’s Kevin Eye (12) prepares to set up his teammate, Emre Ercelebi (27) while Glen Allen’s Garrett Fitzsiimmons (16),Tyral Griffin (14) and Connor Dixon (7) of Glen Allen look on. Eye had 36 assists and 14 digs in Atlee’s 3-0 Capital District tournament finals win.

With next year’s VHSL reclassification of schools, tournaments among current district affiliations will most like cease to exist. Therefore, laying claim to what could possibly be the final Capital District boys volleyball trophy was a primary goal of the #1 seed Atlee Raiders.

“I would like the Capital District trophy to be retired at Atlee because we’ll never play for it again,” Raiders head coach Nick Robinson said following Atlee’s Thursday night semifinal sweep of host Highland Springs.

The Mechanicsville Local November 7, 2012 35

Atlee’s talent carried them to the win, 25-19, 25-9, 25-12.

Davis Ellenberger paced the Raiders with 13 kills, while Gray and Rohr added eight and seven respectively. Gray also had two aces in the contest.

“I kind of expected us to come out a little rusty,” Rohr said, pointing out that history has shown Atlee vulnerable to long layoffs. “But we did a great job, came out with a lot of energy,” he said.

The break away from the court was even longer for

Robinson who was out of town and missed the final week of the regular season. “We didn’t play out best tonight but we played well enough to get the job done,” he said.

One of those jobs included nullifying the spectacular play of the Springer outside hitter Me’kel Crawford, who attempted a oneman comeback in the first set.

Atlee cruised to an 18-9 lead when Crawford went to work.

After scoring on back-to-back aces earlier in the set, Crawford reeled off five of the next six

Springer points on kills to trim the lead to 21-15.

“He’s a really good player,” Rohr said. “He can jump really high and hit really hard.”

Robinson blamed Crawford’s success on Atlee’s inability to side out. “If you can’t side out a good hitter can get you in trouble by just swinging over top of you and around you and everything.”

A Crawford kill pulled the Springer’s within 23-19 but Atlee closed out the set scoring the final two points.

The Raiders made adjustments and Crawford was unable to create runs in the final two sets. “When we started to side out the games two and three, that really kept the momentum on our side and pretty much kept him from being able to score points.”

In the second semifinal match, Hanover battled Glen Allen tooth-and-nail but fell victim on two controversial calls that gave the Jaguars wins in the first and final set.

The Hawks maintained pace with Glen Allen throughout the first set and appeared to have tied the match 24-24 when the Jaguars spiked the ball out of bounds. The celebration quickly

Atlee had already clinched a berth in the Central Region tournament by claiming the regular season title, but to get to the final, it had to defeat fourth-seed Hanover in their semifinal. The Raiders – led by Rachel Stanford with 21 assists, three kills, four digs and two blocks; Kylah Blackmore with eight kills, six digs and three aces; and Kayleigh Moody with 10 kills and three blocks – easily handled the Hawks, winning 258, 25-7, 25-10.

“They came at us hard the whole way through, so I can’t complain,” said Hanover coach Karl Lippa. “I was very impressed with the leadership of my seniors. … They did a phenomenal job to stay in it, keep their class and keep their heads up.”

Hanover was led by seniors

Kristin Black with five digs and Katie Wolfram with four kills and two blocks. Another senior, Mary Dustin, who spent most of the night on the sidelines because of an ankle injury, made brief appearances to serve, and earned an ace in the final game of her Hanover volleyball career.

Lee-Davis likewise swept third-seed Glen Allen in their semifinal, 25-12, 25-13, 25-19.

The Confederates were led by Becca Lass with six kills and two blocks, Jordan Martin with 34 assists, Christina Penzer with 10 kills and eight digs and Chelsea Matthews with 10 kills and three blocks.

The Panthers were led by Emma Goethel with four kills, four digs and two aces, Nicole Crytzer with three kills and two digs, and Lauren Wells with two kills and six blocks. Glen Allen

coach Scott Newton was pleased with how far the young school’s program had come.

“They’re a young group, a small group. I’m very happy with how they played,” Newton said. “It was a very good season overall – a big step up for being the first year of having all four grades in the school.”

In the first game of the final, Lee-Davis hit the Raiders hard – going up 8-0 before Carpenter had to step in.

“We tried to make it a little interesting at first. I don’t think we played bad to start off, but Lee-Davis played very well,” Carpenter said. “I finally called a timeout and basically reminded the girls that we needed to play.

Then we got our act together and made our run.”

By the time it was over, the Raiders had won 25-16, 25-15,

ATLEE Continued from pg. 35 b

County and played volleyball for Atlee, so taking the final district trophy would hold extra meaning for him as both a former player and current coach. “I think that’s in the back of your mind. If you win tomorrow, you get to keep it forever.”

Senior Matt Rohr agreed. “It would be really nice to bring home that trophy once and for all,” he said.

Rohr played his part, coming away with 18 kills in Atlee’s 3-0 sweep of #2 seed Glen Allen for the district championship. With the help of 36 assists from Kevin Eye and seven kills from Mac Gray, host Atlee downed the Jaguars 25-21, 25-19, 25-16.

The championship run was a good finish to a week that provided little preparation for the district tournament. School cancelations due to Hurricane Sandy, postponed the semifinal round from Tuesday until Thursday.

The Raiders came into their semifinal match against the Springers with nearly a week off and it showed. Neither team played exceptionally well but

RAIDERS Continued from pg. 35 b

Davis traveled to Mills Godwin, the Colonial District champion.

With the VHSL realignment slated for next year, winning this year took on added significance.

“This is the last Capital District tournament,” said Atlee coach Curtis Carpenter. “We wanted to come out and prove a point – that we belonged to be champions. … I told them last night, ‘You’ll be the final champions if you win.’ ” Carpenter said the Raiders are not finished.

“It’s the same with the Central Region,” Carpenter said. “Create history – I think they’ve got that on their minds. They know what they need to do, and they’re going out to try and execute it in the best way possible.”

Hanover’s Drew Hazelgrove tries to send a shot past the block of Glen Allen’s Tyral Griffin (14) and Garrett Fitzsimmons (16) in the Capital District semifinals. Glen Allen won the match 3-1.

The Mechanicsville Local November 7, 2012

faded when the official called Hanover for sliding and gave the win to Glen Allen.

The Hawks fell into a 0-2 hole after losing the second set by the same score.

In set three, Hanover gained an advantage early and refused to allow the Jaguars to retake the lead taking the win 25-20.

The fourth set was a battle throughout and extended into extra points.

With the Hawks trailing 2625 John Atwood’s spike found the middle of the Jaguar’s court and his follow through carried him into the support post. The Hanover celebration of a tie quickly ended when the official ruled Atwood had made contact with the net giving Glen Allen the match point.

Hawks’ first year coach Hilary Clark, who was standing only a few feet away from the play, was not pleased with either call. “The ref said he hit the chord,” she said. “I saw him hit the pole, which is legal. Tough to end an entire match on.”

Atwood led the Hawks with 16 kills while Drew Hazelgrove had 13 kills, six digs and two aces in the contest. Brice Pully had 16 digs and three aces.

The career of seven Hawks seniors came to an end in the loss. “A bunch of great guys,” Clark said. “Hard workers. Fun.” Both Atlee and Glen Allen advanced to regional play. On Monday night, Atlee hosted Deep Run. while the Jaguars traveled to Douglas Freeman.

The Central Region semifinals and championship will be played at Hanover High School on Tuesday and Thursday.

25-14. They were led by Karlie Suber with 18 digs, seven kills, four aces and three blocks, Hailey Brooks with 12 assists, seven kills, eight aces, six digs and two blocks, Clarke Tyler with four kills, three blocks and two aces, and Stanford with 15 assists, five kills, five digs, and two aces.

Penzer, Martin and Meghan Trice led the Confederates.

Penzer had 10 kills and eight digs, Martin had 15 assists and Trice had 12 digs.

“The girls came out. They were ready to play. They knew it would be a tough match, but they knew they had nothing to lose and everything to win,” Gaston said. “It was really an exciting match to watch. … It was probably the highlight of the season right then to be up 8-0 on Atlee. You hate to say it like that,

but they’re just a great team and hard to play.”

Lee-Davis hopes to have a shot at Atlee again, but the Raiders are on a mission.

“I remind the girls often that we’re defending regional champs,” Carpenter said. “We need to defend that title.”

Keyes was much more than baseball coach

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Hanover County’s Paul Keyes, who carried the Virginia Commonwealth baseball program to new heights, died at the age of 50 on Saturday after battling cancer.

Mr. Keyes coached VCU baseball team to 603 victories over 18 seasons as head coach of the Rams. Under his leadership, VCU made eight appearances in the NCAA tournament and won five Colonial Athletic Association championships.

Mr. Keyes was honored with CAA Coach of the Year recognition four times.

Mr. Keyes will be remembered having won more baseball games (603-428) than any other VCU coach. During his time with the Rams, Mr. Keyes also sent several players on to professional baseball careers.

Pitcher Matt Burch, shortstop Brandon Inge, pitcher/ first baseman Jason Dubois, outfielder Matt Davis, third baseman Anthony Granato, pitcher Justin Orenduff and pitcher Cla Meredith were named All-Americans.

Mr. Keyes battle with cancer became public in April when he took a leave of absence from the VCU baseball program to focus on the disease.

He improved and returned to work over the summer and into the fall before his health deteriorated.

Longtime Lee-Davis head baseball coach Kenny Lewis had much interaction with Keyes over the years. “He’s obviously meant a lot to a lot of kids that have come through Lee-Davis,” Lewis said. “We’ve had a number of kids in the 18 years that Coach was there.”

One of those players is current Hanover head baseball

VCU head baseball coach Paul Keyes passed away on Saturday after battling cancer. The Hanover County resident was an icon in the community and left an unmatched impact on both athletes and coaches throughout the state of Virginia.

coach Charlie Dragum, who along with Jeff Zona, played at VCU when Keyes was an assistant.

“I know Coach was always respectful and spoke very highly of the Lee-Davis kids,” Lewis said. “He was always very visible and very approachable and again always very complimentary of your program. Just a really nice guy.”

Mr. Keyes not only left his footprint on VCU but nearly every college in the state. A native of Newport News, he played baseball at ODU and earned a masters degree from

the University of Richmond.

Randolph-Macon head coach Ray Hedrick first came to know Keyes as an assistant at UNC Pembroke under Paul O’Neil. O’Neil was part of Keyes first coaching staff at VCU. “I got to know Coach Keyes through that relationship,” Hedrick said. “Then when I became head coach up here, having had that previous relationship I automatically had an in to Coach Keyes inner circle I guess.

“He’s been a mentor to my time here,” Hedrick said. “He’s

looked out for me in my time here. He’s supported our program.”

Hedrick feels Mr. Keyes made an extraordinary impression throughout Virginia.

“In the short 18 years he was at VCU, he’s left more of an impact on people than most leave in a lifetime,” Hedrick said.

Keyes was more than just a baseball coach.

“I think coaches that do their job well are teachers and our classroom is on the field,” Hedrick said. “Paul Keyes was certainly at the top of the

list when he came to being a teacher. He used his classroom to the fullest extent and he taught kids life lessons.

“He was the epitome of being a coach/teacher,” Hedrick said. “He taught kids lessons that are beyond what they did on the baseball field and lessons that prepared them for life after they left VCU. “He was a master of his trade,” Hedrick said. “He did just an unbelievable job of preparing his kids for life beyond college.”

In recent years, Keyes could

regularly be seen standing along the fences at Atlee High School where his son Paul Jr. was a infielder for the Raiders and the Mechanicsville Post 175 squad.

Paul Jr. is currently a sophomore infielder at Christopher Newport University.

Likewise Mr. Keyes daughter MacKenzie was also a standout on the Atlee softball team.

Mr. Keyes is survived by his wife, Trisha, and three children – Paul Jr., MacKenzie and Kyle.

Going outside helps Springers down Atlee 35-21

By Thomas C. Dozier for The Mechanicsville Local Corporations have implemented thinking-outside-thebox principles to help exceed goals and expectations. So, sometimes in order to be successful you must think outside the box.

That is exactly what the Highland Springs football team did in the second half of a Capital District showdown against Atlee on Friday night.

After attempting to pound the ball up the middle, and clinging to a 14-13 halftime lead, the Springers went to the outside early and often, scoring 21 second-half points to hold off the visiting Raiders 35-21 at Victor W. Kreiter Stadium.

“We just put the emphasis on staying focused this week,” said Highland Springs veteran coach Loren Johnson. “Despite the limited practice schedule, the kids worked hard, they stayed together and played as a family. The key was to focus on what we need to do to win the football game.”

Johnson said the team’s success can be traced to team

chemistry.

“We play hard together and we laugh hard together,” Loren Johnson added. “One of the best things about this team is not being selfish. We hoped that we could get to this point at the season where we entered the final game with a chance to play for district title. “ It was Senior Night at

Highland Springs, and 22 seniors including defensive standouts Ralph Stovall, Keano Tharrington and Stephan Jackson, were honored prior to the game but it was two juniors, quarterback D.J. Johnson and running back Ryan Scott that led the second-half charge.

Scott, a 5-6, 165-pounder finished with a team-high 139

yards on 20 carries and scored three touchdowns, two coming in the third quarter while Johnson was 6-for-9 in the air for 150 yards and carried the ball six times for 38 yards.

Neither team could get much going in the first quarter before the host team started to heat up in the 42-degree temperatures.

At left: Atlee running back Morris Jackson (7) breaks through a hole in the Springer line. Jackson ran for 178 yards in the contest, pushing his season total to 1883 yards. Above: Atlee quarterback Kenner Berry (6) tries to escape the grasp of Springer linebacker Demetrius Arties.

On its second drive of the evening, Highland Springs mixed in a combination of four running backs – Marcus Taylor, Daryl Wilson, KC Hinton and Scott – all with touches and Johnson completed two passes on the drive. The home team capped off the 11-play drive with a 20-yard run by Taylor for the touchdown. The drive ate up more than seven minutes and ended on the first play of the second quarter. Ryan Buzzard

added the point-after-attempt to give the unbeaten Springers the 7-0 lead.

However, Raider running back extraordinaire Morris Jackson had an answer for Atlee.

Jackson carried the ball 57 yards on the first play of the ensuing drive to take the Raiders into the red zone. Faced with a fourth-and-16 play, Atlee quarterback Kenner Berry hit Chad Jacob with a 28-yard reception see SPRINGERS, pg. 40 `

Yellow Jackets offense rushes past Eagles 38-26 R-MC can now focus on Hampden-Sydney

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Saturday was senior day for the Randolph-Macon football team but an underclassman stole the show. Junior running back Will McGhee rushed for 186 yards including a 92yard touchdown to help the Yellow Jackets hold off visiting Bridgewater College 38-26 on Day Field. The offensive output pushed McGhee over the 1000 yard mark in his first full season

at running back.

“It feels good,” he said. “I owe it all to my offensive line.

They’ve worked their tails off this year. Darius Saunders, Joe Breithaupt, Byron Overstreet…

Nick Powell, a freshman, Justin Daniels, a sophomore, those guys have stepped it up big time and I owe everything to them.”

The Yellow Jackets (6-3, 4-2) came into the contest with a slim hope of winning the Old Dominion Athletic Conference title despite suffering two league losses. R-MC needed to win out and get a little help from archrival Hampden-Sydney, who

JACKETS Continued from pg. 38 b

The Yellow Jackets did their part by defeating Bridgewater (6-3, 3-3), but the Tigers came up short in their efforts, suffering a 45-42, four overtime loss to W&L. The Generals hold the tie-breaker over R-MC so they will finish as league champion regardless of a win or loss this weekend against Shenandoah.

R-MC virtually eliminated themselves for title contention with the home loss to Guilford two weeks ago. They then nearly compounded that lapse trailing Shenandoah until the final second of play last Saturday before kicker Josh Storm booted RMC to the win.

McGhee said the near loss was a real eye-opener for the Yellow Jackets coming into their final home game of the season.

“We just needed to get back to fundamentals during the week,” he said. “Protecting the football, running the ball, stopping the run of defense and just get back to Jacket football.”

R-MC was successful in three of those four categories.

BC quarterback Willie

Logan racked up a career high 137 yards and two touchdowns on the ground while adding another 244 yards and one TD through the air against the RMC defense.

Logan had caught the attention of R-MC head coach Pedro Arruza coming into the contest.

“I think their quarterback’s been playing extremely well lately,” he said.

The coach also knew the Eagle boasted the best defense in the ODAC. Arruza’s remaining concerns were with his own team.

“Obviously we’ve been very inconsistent on defense, that’s a concern,” he said. “I think we’ve shot ourselves in the foot a lot this year offensively, so that was also a concern.”

Things started off well for the R-MC defense when they forced BC into a three-and-out on the game’s first possession.

On the ensuing punt, tackle Calvin Davis (Lee-Davis) broke through to get his fingertips on the ball and the Yellow Jackets took over at the Eagle’s 46.

R-MC moved to first and goal at the 10 but settled for a 31-yard field goal from Storm.

Aided by an Eagle facemask penalty, the Yellow Jackets added to their lead in the second quarter. R-MC advanced to the BC 12-yard before stalling, but on a third-and-10 play, Arruza sent rarely used backup quarterback Greg Petrohovich (Benedictine) into the game. The junior found senior H-back Vance Hendren wide open in the endzone for touchdown and a 10-0 lead.

It did not take long for BC to answer.

From his own 37, Logan broke up the middle on a 43yard scamper to the R-MC 20.

Two plays later, Logan broke out again, covering the final 17 yards for a score.

R-MC made their own quick reply.

Looking at third and 17 from his own 43, quarterback Zac Naccarato found Luke Sellers breaking down the left side for a 49-yard pass play.

Naccarato then connected with Zach Midulla on an 8-yard TD strike for a 17-7 lead.

Though forced to punt on their next possession, the Eagles thought they were in good shape when Tyler Dawson’s kick was downed at the R-MC

6-yard line.

But on a second-and-eight play from the eight, McGhee took the handoff and got a boost from the blocks by Hendren and O-lineman Darius Saunders.

“Vance was doing a good job of trapping the edge linebacker,” McGhee said. “Then Darius, the tackle was pulling, he was doing a good job of leading up on the second level. Then it was off to the races from that.”

McGhee displayed his speed, zipping out of a hole then down the left sidelines for a 92-yard score.

Bridgewater started the second half with a 34-yard field goal to pull within 24-13 but R-MC answered with a 9-yard rushing TD from senior receiver Terry Clark to widen the margin to 3113. The Eagles got no closer than 11 the rest of the game.

Though no longer in the running for the ODAC title, Randolph-Macon and Hampden-Sydney both enter this Saturday’s 118th edition of “The Game” with a possible playoff bid to the winner.

“This is a huge game,” McGhee said. “This rivalry means a lot to the program, to

the seniors.”

Senior cornerback Brandon Harrison looks to avenge last season’s home loss to the Tigers.

“We know they’ve beaten us two out of the three years I’ve been here,” he said. “It would be nice to go out with a win and even the series up with them.”

The two teams face off at Hampden-Sydney at 1 p.m.

However, in a rivalry of such intensity, Arruza does not believe there is such a thing as home field advantage. “I think that stuff’s overrated to be honest with you,” he said. “We’re not going into LSU. This is not miniDeath Valley.”

Arruza’s biggest concern is how his team will play. “We’ve played well there. We’ve played poor there,” he said. “We’ve played well here. We’ve played poor here.”

The game will mark the final regular season contest for RMC’s local seniors David Fetter (Lee-Davis), Vance Hendren (Powhatan), Akeem Hardy (Hermitage) and Zach Midulla (J.R. Tucker) as well as Patrick Henry alums Byron and Ian Overstreet.

It will also be the final regular season game for H-SC’s Kenny Fryman (Hanover), John Michael Sparagna (Atlee) and Tyler White (Atlee).

to take the ball to the 1-yard line. From there, Jackson carried it in for his 30th touchdown of the season to tie the game at 7-7.

The electric ball carrier, who will be one of 23 Raiders seniors honored at home on Friday, had 121 yards in the first half on 14 carries.

The Springers made quick work of their next drive, after a mere four plays, Scott scored the team’s second touchdown at the 7:58 mark of the second quarter. Buzzard made his second PAT to help the Springers retake a lead they would never relinquish.

Senior Keano Tharrington, who had two catches for 23 yards on offense for the Springers, picked off a Berry pass near midfield and took it inside the 20-yard line on the return.

The first play thereafter, Hinton carried the ball down to the goal line, but fumbled into the end zone on a play that resulted as a touchback for the Raiders.

It provided a spark, and Atlee found life in a 13-yard reception to Daniel Glymph from Berry. Two personal foul penalties on Highland Springs, moved the ball to the 7-yard line.

With 40 seconds to intermission, Jacob caught a ball on the right side and tiptoed the sidelined for the 9-yard TD. The point after failed, because Taylor got a hand on it for Highland Springs, therefore the visitors trailed by one 14-13 at halftime.

The third quarter belonged to the Springers. It only took the home team four plays to go 53 yards for their third score.

Scott went in from two yards out for his second touchdown of the game and a 21-13 lead.

Above left: Atlee’s Chad Jacob (81) turns from receiver to defender when Highland Springs Ralph Stoval intercepts a pass. Above: Atlee’s Ross Gardner (82) breaks into the open after pulling in a pass aginst the Highland Springs defense.

Scott wasn’t done yet, as he scampered in from 25 yards out to record his third touchdown of the game and give the home team a two-score advantage at 28-13 along with some breathing room.

Stovall then made a heads up play for the defense, picking off Berry for the second time in the game and returning the ball 65 yards for the touchdown.

“The No. 1 thing about our defense is the coaches and the players take a lot of pride in what they do,” Loren Johnson explained. “The defense being solid has long been a tradition at Highland Springs and we want to continue that tradition.”

But the Raiders countered with a 41-touchdown pass from Berry to Jacob. Jackson added the two-point conversion to provide the final margin.

Berry threw for 216 yards on a 17-for-31 effort. His favorite target on the night was Jacob, who had seven catches for 143 yards while Loumond Dandridge Jr. (37 yards) and Ross Gardner (24 yards) hauled

in four passes apiece.

In the game, Jackson toted the ball 26 times for 178 yards and brought his season totals to 1,883 yards on 234 carries.

With the win, Highland Springs improved to 6-0, 9-0 while Atlee fell to 3-3, 5-4.

“Overall I was pleased with the effort,” said Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson. “We came out and gave it everything we had, and kept it going, but in the end they just made more plays and it wasn’t our night.”

Roscoe Johnson said both teams made halftime adjustments but the Springers were probably more effective.

“They had been going inside in the first half,” Roscoe Johnson said. “In the second half they basically came out and ran everything to the outside when that happened they found some success.

“As for next week we need to just go our and play football and if we win we can finish 64,” Roscoe Johnson said. “It is a big game [against Lee-Davis] and it will be honoring our seniors.”

The Springers will play at Varina for the Capital District regular-season title and the Raiders will play host to LeeDavis.

championships.

The Trojans and Dragons finished first and second in both races. They and the Raiders will be joined by Douglas Freeman’s boys’ team and Cosby’s girls’ team at the state meet, which will be held at Great Meadows in The Plains, Va., this Saturday.

Atlee’s Nathaniel Hall held off Midlothian’s Sean Willard down the stretch to win the boys’ race with a 15:52 finish on the 5,000-meter course. LeeDavis runners Paul Adam and Grayson Morgan finished third and fourth, respectively.

Midlothian’s Kara Dickerson handily won the girls’ race in 18:06, eight seconds ahead of Maggie Walker’s Rachel Galton.

Atlee’s Chloe Bavin finished sixth.

Atlee coach Jim Triemplar was pleased with the Raiders’ finishes.

“Both teams we knew had a chance,” Triemplar said. “But really, I thought we were probably in that four, five or six range most of the year, and even coming in today, I thought we were there. But almost every year, someone doesn’t perform quite as well as they would like.

I think a couple of teams, one on the boys’ side and one on the girls’, didn’t perform as well as they had during the course of the year.”

Triemplar said the Raiders have experienced their share of disappointment in regional competition. But this years’ teams are different.

“We’ve had more than our share of coming up just a little short. It seems we’ve had the market cornered on fifth, sixth or seventh place over the years,” Triemplar said. “But both of these teams – both our boys’ and girls’ teams – tend to be a little bit more team oriented maybe than some of those we’ve had in the past. Yeah, obviously they are all concerned about their own individual perfor-

mances, I think we all are, but they talked a lot about what needed to be done from a team standpoint.”

Midlothian coach Stan Morgan said the Trojans’ victories were special.

“This is the last year that this meet will ever be run, the Central Region as we know it,” Morgan said. “There’s a lot of history here. We’ll never compete against [all] these teams. …

So it’s special, being in the last year of the Central Region and winning. It’s nice.”

In the boys’ race, Hall trailed Douglas Freeman’s Ronnie Calkins for much of the course.

Hall was not worried, however.

“Me and my biggest rival, Ronnie Calkins of Douglas Freeman, were together for almost the entire race, until about the last thousand meters, where I managed to get past him and he dropped off a little.

From there, I had to give it everything I had left to make sure that no one caught me.”

Willard, with a burst of speed after the final turn toward the finish line, came within a few dozen meters of doing just that.

“Coming into this race, I just came in with the [thought]

of trying to ruin some peoples’ days,” Willard said. “With about 1,200 left I passed Ronnie Calkins, and then I was really in with Nathaniel Hall. I think I just ran out of room because I had a lot left at the end.”

Hall could not see Willard gaining on him, but he knew something might be happening.

“I couldn’t see behind me, so I didn’t know how close he was getting, but the cheers were starting to get louder,” Hall said.

“I didn’t know if it was for me or if he was catching on me, or if people were just saying that.

I couldn’t tell. … I know that if he had come up on me, I would have had – I had – the strength to hold off anyone.”

Kara Dickerson, despite her commanding finish, held back a bit for most of the course.

“My strategy was kind of like to stay in the top 10ish,” Dickerson said. “It’s pretty windy so I just wanted to let the leaders take all the wind.

I knew once I came out of the woods that that’s when I needed to make my move. The last full lap around the field was really tough because it’s a pretty long finish, but I just knew I needed to stay strong and pump my

arms and make it to the end first.”

Yellow Jackets exhibit strength against Spiders

76-55 loss will pay dividends for R-MC

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com www.mechlocal.com See slideshow online!

On Saturday night, the Randolph-Macon men’s basPhotos by Charlie Leffler/The Local ketball team got to go where Above: Randolph-Macon’s Dylan Cole (44) launches a shot over Richmond’s Alonzo Nelsonfew NCAA D-III teams venture Ododa (33). Above right: Cole and the Yellow Jackets had a difficult time dealing with Richmond’s and never left their home court.

6-6, 285 forward Derrick Williams (34), but it will pay dividends down the road.

For the first, and possibly only time in history, Crenshaw Gym served as host to an exhibition game between D-III R-MC and the University of Richmond from Division I. Normally the NCAA prohibits D-I schools from playing exhibition games on the road, however the Spiders were granted an exemption due to the fact that both schools are celebrating their 100th year of basketball.

It was the first game between the two schools since 2008 and the first time Richmond head coach Chris Mooney has scheduled an exhibition in his eight Storyteller years with the Spiders.

Mooney was hoping that a packed, raucous environment inside Crenshaw Gym would test his young squad.

“The reason that I wanted to do it was to give ourselves a different- and away- hostile environment against a good team,” he said. “I thought that’s what it was.”

The Spiders came away with

42

The Mechanicsville Local November 7, 2012

a 76-55 win but R-MC held their own through much of the first half and never let the game get completely out of hand.

Though growing up in Midlothian and playing at both Monacan and Benedictine, Richmond senior guard Darien Brothers knew little about RMC prior to the contest. “I never really heard much about it,” he said. “I had a friend that went here but that was about it.”

Still, Brothers expected the Yellow Jackets to give the Spiders their best shot. “I knew it was going to be a physical game,” he said. “Them playing a Division I school, no team’s going to back down regardless, so I felt it was a good test for them and us for our first exhibition.”

Richmond sophomore guard Wayne Sparrow admitted he was caught off guard, not expecting a Division III team to present such a physical challenge. “They were athletic and they came out aggressive and ready to play,” he said. “I guess we weren’t used to a physical team such as that, but still it shocked us as far as physicality.”

Richmond presented a physical challenge of their own in the presence of 6-6, 285 junior forward Derrick Williams.

Despite giving up height to R-MC’s 6-7 trio of Dylan Cole, Akeem Holmes and Joe

Hassel, Williams pulled down 12 rebounds while scoring 14 points to go with one assist and one steal.

“That’s a big guy,” said Yellow Jacket senior Lamar Giggetts.

“There’s not much else to it. We battled down there. We did the best we could, it’s just we didn’t have the size.”

For Hanover alum Cole, Williams’ skills combined with size made playing against him difficult. “He does have good footwork and he is pretty quick.”

Williams also showed he could jump by getting up to block a shot from athletic RMC junior Andre Simon. Cole said the move caught them all by surprise. “When he jumped up and blocked ‘Dre’s attempt- I didn’t know he could get up off the ground like that,” Cole said.

“That’s a big boy getting up of the ground like that.”

Despite being outmanned

by Williams, the Yellow Jackets know the experience will pay dividends throughout the season.

“We know that’s going to help us with our other matchups,” Giggetts said. “We know there’s probably not going to be anybody as big as him that we play going forward.”

Both squads started off slow but by five minutes in, UR appeared as if they were going to take control when a 3-pointer

by Kendall Anthony was followed by a layup from Williams for an 11-5 lead.

But a 3-pointer from RMC sophomore guard Chris Hamilton was followed by a layup from junior Andre Simon and a jumper by sophomore guard Trent Walker to put the Yellow Jackets on top 12-11 bringing the capacity crowd to their feet.

The game was tied 18-18 with eight minutes left in the see SPIDERS, pg. 43 `

Hawks come up short in upset bid at Varina Late field goal pushes No. 3 Devils past No. 8 Hanvoer

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local For three quarters, Hanover had Varina on its heels, but in the fourth quarter the Blue Devils proved it is hard to keep them down.

In the final seconds, placekicker Xavier Young proved the hero by nailing an extra point that gave Varina, ranked No. 3 in the Times-Dispatch poll, a 21-20 victory over the eighthranked Hawks in a major Capital District battle at Varina Friday night.

Hanover dominated most of the night, holding Varina’s offense at bay, but quarterback Brandon Wood and Blue Devils could not be held down forever.

SPIDERS Continued from pg. 42 b

first half before Richmond began to slowly creep ahead.

A jumper by UR’s Cedrick Lindsey, a three from Sparrow and a basket by Anthony put the Spiders ahead 25-18 with less than five minutes left in the half.

With 13:33 left in the game, Richmond widened the margin to 21 and R-MC could not get the deficit below 14 over the remainder of the contest.

Hamilton was the only Yellow Jacket to score in double digits with 12 points on 3-of6 shooting from long range.

Eleven R-MC players scored in the contest.

Richmond was paced by 15 points from Sparrow, 13 from Anthony and 12 by Brothers.

The Spiders forced R-MC into 22 turnovers but the Yellow Jackets held the upper hand on the boards, out-rebounding

“It was a tough game,” Wood said. “Everybody stepped up when they needed to step up.”

Wood finished with 23 carries for 104 yards rushing, 17of-21 passes for 130 yards passing, and one touchdown each way – including the final score, an 18-yard pass to Donovan Dowling.

Hanover was led by senior quarterback Sam Rogers, who had 18 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown, 19-of-26 passes for 153 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and also figured in quite a few tackles on defense.

Nevertheless, mistakes, particularly penalties, may have cost the Hawks the game. The Hawks were jumpy at the line all night. They were flagged 15 times, seven times for illegal procedure three times for jumping offside. A Hanover penalty played a key role in the ending.

Dowling attempted a kick their D-I opponent 40-36.

“I think that’s definitely encouraging, to out-rebound a team like that,” Cole said.

Dominating the boards will be an important part of the Jackets’ offense this season. “We know one of our main goals is to keep them to one shot,” Giggetts said. “So to be on the glass rebounding allows us to get out on the break, do what we do best and run.”

While R-MC came out on the short end in scoring, they gained respect from both Richmond and some local media members.

“I’ve always been extremely impressed (with R-MC),” Mooney said. “I think they’re a good team. I think they have a fair amount of players that can do a lot of things.”

Mooney’s college coaching career began in Division III. “They’re far better than most of the teams we played,” he said.

The contest also marked

after his touchdown, but with a bad snap kicked it wide. But Hanover had jumped offside, and the Blue Devils got another attempt. Young, who came in for the second kick, made it good.

Hanover coach Josh Just took the blame to the penalties.

“Anytime you have that many penalties, it’s the head coach not making sure that his team is accountable and disciplined,” Just said. “We weren’t very disciplined tonight, and that’s on me, it’s not on the kids.”

Despite the misfiring offense, the Hawks (6-4, 3-3 Capital) scored first. Starting at their 30 late in the first quarter, Hanover took up the first four minutes of the second quarter driving down field and scoring on a 4-yard run by Lawrence Jones. Jacob Rozsahegyi kick made it 7-0 with 7:51 left in

the half.

Hanover took the opening kickoff of the second half and drove 67 yards to score again, this time on a 9-yard run by Rogers. Rozsahegyi’s kick made it 14-0.

But Varina (8-1, 6-0) woke up after that.

“The main thing we were thinking is that it’s a long game – we’ve got a 45-minute game,” Wood said. “They came out fired up., We came out kind of relaxed dogs. But we stepped up when we needed to.”

Varina took advantage of a Rogers’ interception to drive 63 yards and score on a 4-yard run by Tyler Meredith. The Blue Devils’ point-after attempt failed, and they entered the final quarter at a 14-6 deficit.

Starting on their 20 early in the fourth quarter, Varina began detect weaknesses in the Hanover defense, with Wood

finding open receivers and open ground.

“They were bringing a lot of pressure from the ends,” Wood said. “I just tried to keep my eyes downfield and step up the passing game to open up the run.”

Wood scored on a 19-yard run, and the Blue Devils then tied the game on a 2-point conversion with a pass from Wood to Dowling.

Neither team was ready to concede however. The Hawks responded with a 64-yard scoring drive of their own, capping it with an 18-yard pass from Rogers to Donte’ Haynesworth with 3:31 left in the game.

This time, however, the Hawks point-after attempt went wide, setting up Varina’s scramble to victory.

Just said it was his fault the Blue Devils got back in the game.

“I think I made some bad calls and put us in some bad positions that cost us the game – a couple of different alignments I made, adjusting with our secondary, making them

move a little bit because I thought [the Blue Devils] were picking on us” Just said. “They burned us with it.”

Hanover closes out the regular season this Friday as host to Glen Allen. Varina hosts a Capital District title showdown with undefeated Highland Springs.
