3-2-3 rail plan accepted in draft

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- It may not be time for a huge sigh of relief, but third rail opponents were bolstered by news provided by Town Manger Josh Farrar in his regular report at the close of last week’s Ashland Town Council meeting.

In an issue that divided the community, it appears an alternative plan utilizing two tracks through the town and adding overpasses at Vaughan and Ashcake Roads has been preliminarily accepted by the Federal Railroad Administration.

“We received word last week that the Federal

Ashland received some good news concerning the Environmental Impact Statement regarding the town’s 3-2-3 plan, which means no change to the two track alignment.

Railroad Administration (FRA) had accepted DRPT’s (Department of Rail and

Public Transportation) recommendation through the draft Environmental Impact

Statement (EIS) of a 3-2-3 in Ashland,” Farrar said.

“Basically, they have accepted the draft EIS for the entire corridor which contains Ashland’s 3-2-3.”

Although there are still steps left in the process, the decision appears to offer town residents a variation of what they requested — no change to the current two track alignment through the town.

“What you will see going forward is a final EIS study, which will include the 3-2-3 and then we’re hoping to see a record of decision from the FRA,” Farrar said.

Constitution Week to be observed; DAR emphasizes responsibilities Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

B

EAVERDAM – Constitution Week will be observed Sept. 17-23 throughout the United States. This will be the 231st anniversary of the signing of the great document.

Bonnie D. Andersen, Constitution Week chair of the Scotchtown Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, said, “This week should emphasize the responsibilities of learning about, protecting, defending, and preserving the Constitution, and studying the historical events that occurred during September 1787.”

Andersen shared the following, written by Jeanie Hornung, Constitution national chair, Week Committee: “We the People of the United States, in Order

to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”

The Preamble is the opening statement of the Constitution. It is a concise proclamation of the values at work in the complete document. It is thought the Preamble to the Constitution was written by Gouverneur Morris (1752-1816).

We do not know with certainty if any one man proposed the words of the Preamble, or if it was devised and revised by a whole committee.

This statement gives American citizens, not the government, the power of rule.

The Constitutional Convention of 1787 created the most lasting written Constitution ever created by human hands.

Gill praised the planning efforts over the sum-

The United States existed prior to the ratification of the Constitution in 1788. It was a nation organized by the weak threads of the Articles of Confederation. This first attempt at a constitution was a contentious and inadequate document.

For one hundred and sixteen days the men who were at Philadelphia, May 25 to September 17, hammered out a document that was the outcome of dozens of compromises and shaped by the issues of the United States under the Articles as well as the failures of well-known European governments of the time.

In the beginning of public education, educators taught young people about citizenship. This included an understanding of the United States Constitution. As our country has progressed, civics (the study of the privileges and obligations of citizens) has lost a prominent place in the educational process. It is now more important

He said there are “always hurdles to overcome, but we could not have asked for anything better.” He extended “big kudos to students and families for being prepared. It was a big win.”

The superintendent will continue to focus on what he said “have become the three

pillars of the school division for the last couple of years.”

They are: relevance, equity and innovation.

“Like any school division, we have a number of initiatives and objectives; these are overarching themes that guide our work,” Gill said.

He added that they operate with the understanding that

the world today’s students “will be living and working in will be different than the one we grew up in.”

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

Returning to school brings back a lot of memories

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Last Tuesday, as Hanover County Public Schools students returned to the classroom for the 2018-2019 year, some of us in the office swapped stories about memorable back to school adventures.

I’ve bared my soul before as the terror with the teeth, having bit my first grade teacher.

We did not have public kindergarten then and I was quite content spending my days with my mother. She did take me to school that first day and, as soon as she introduced me to Mrs. Curry, I went into some kind of survival mode

and bit her on the arm.

I didn’t want any part of school. To pacify me, my sister, a sixth-grader, spent the day in class with me. I’m sure she was thrilled (not!) to miss the start of her last year of elementary school. She always was a great big sister.

So now I have a new favorite story thanks to Tom Haynie, one of our advertising sales representatives. We delight in his stories about growing up in Lively in the Northern Neck.

He shared the story about his class that had one too many children when the teacher did a roll call. It just so happened that one of Tom’s fellow students brought along his younger

brother that first week of school.

The youngster’s parents had no idea where he had wandered off to, apparently never thinking he had gone to school with his older brother. That’s one of those stories that isn’t funny from the standpoint of the parents, but I couldn’t help but laugh at the idea of the older boy bringing the younger one with him.

It was a good thing the teacher counted heads and discovered she had one too many in the room.

Today’s back to school experience is vastly different than what Tom and I encountered back in the 1960s.

Technology may have been a word to learn in spelling, but we didn’t have much else in my school. Getting to view a film on the projector was a big deal at the time.

I know -- some of you are asking “What is a projector?”

Well, unlike the “Go look it up” (as in the encyclopedia or dictionary) standard response from my parents, now it’s go to whatever your favorite browser is on the internet.

Here’s to what we hope will be a productive and remarkable year.

Most of all, we hope you make the best memories possible.

Unknown is especially frightening for parent of disabled child

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist It’s an anxious time of year for any parent who has children returning to school, but for those who have kids who are transitioning or entering school for the first time, the uncertainly is even more palpable.

With two teenagers entering their first year of high school, I must admit I’ve had some more than nervous moments as summer began to wind down, and my children’s conversa-

tions turned to school supplies and what to wear on the first day.

At times, I’ve felt like chewing the erasers off of that 24-pack of pencils that sits atop the pile of school supplies. Don’t worry, they’re non-toxic.

Sending your child off to be cared for by virtual strangers, albeit professionally trained and adequately prepared, and trusting them to protect and defend our children is a leap of faith in the best conditions.

But, for parents of disabled chil-

dren, the unknown can be downright frightening, and that’s what has been keeping me awake at night for the past few weeks.

My son has reached a point in his life when his disease, Muscular Dystrophy, is beginning to take almost daily tolls on his fragile body, and new indignities and cruelness seem to rear their ugly heads more often.

I heard my son talking to his sisters about things he used to be able

to do.

As I listened from afar, I thought of the sadness of a 14-year-old reminiscing about things he was once able to do, but cannot anymore due to his progressive disease.

It doesn’t bother me when most of my friends talk constantly or reflect or remember when things were different. I find it almost refreshing and it sometimes makes me thankful of the small tasks I am still capable of performing.

But, there’s no denying that as life progresses, many of the physical activities that were once second nature are now filled with impending doom. In other words, I don’t climb ladders or clean our gutters anymore.

It all seems natural enough, but my son’s reflections were much more troubling to me, and reminded me of the futility of my efforts to fix Jack’s problem. I thought of the many things Jack can’t do anymore — like playing in the surf, hitting a baseball, or just getting from one place to another without assistance.

As he prepares for his first day at Freeman High School, I reflect on a year that has been full of challenges and disappointments, including two broken legs and a progressively cruel disease that has robbed my son of the most simplest of pleasures, things we all take for granted.

I suppose all of this contributes to my anxiety, and makes me appreciate the unique challenge of the thousands of parents who prepare disabled children for school. see UNKNOWN, pg. 8

While I had a number of questions about the location of classes, operation of lifts and other matters that would be foreign to most parents, he finally noticed my uncertainty and responded with the same courage he has displayed in every other challenge he’s faced.

“Dad, stop worrying about this. I’ll be OK,” he said.

And you know what? He’s right. He will be.

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Luke, 525951, is a 2-year-old male domestic short-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Luke is an awesome cat! He is really nice and friendly around people. He loves to rub up against you. Luke also has a really well-groomed coat of hair. He is soft to the touch and loves to be brushed. He will make an excellent house cat. Benjamin, 520541, is a 2-year-old male hound. He has had his first set of vaccines given and is Heartworm test negative.

Benjamin is a eccentric young dog. He has really playful personality.

Benjamin does well around all people that he meets. He also does well around other dogs.

liminary decision is a positive sign from the FRA. “I think that’s the best news we could have hoped for,� Farrar said. “Maybe that wasn’t our best or worse choice on what could happen, but that’s their recommendation and at least we have something with certainty that we can plan for the future on.�

The impact of that rail decision and the two new overpasses also could impact another item on council’s agenda for the evening: the consideration of what action to take going forward regarding updating the town’s current 2020 Transportation Plan.

The 2040 update provides a blueprint for officials when planning roads, improving intersections, or addressing other long-range transportation options.

Council approved hiring the firm KinleyHorn to provide transportation counseling services. “There’s a lot of angst about what increased train traffic will do to Route 54 traffic,� Mayor Steve Trivett said. “Will this study take up some of that and give us some direction? I know that they don’t have any clearer crystal ball than we do, but, at the same time, it would be good if they

can let us know what kind of traffic loads we can anticipate by 20 40.�

Nora Amos, the town’s director of Planning & Community Development, said DRPT data addresses train traffic issues. “We could ask them to incorporate that into their study,� Amos said.

Farrar pointed out the new study would include data already available. “We are still going to be using data provided by the same people, DRPT and CSX. At some point you kind of have to accept the numbers as they go forward.�

Trivett said it’s vital to have as much information as possible when planning for the eventual increases. “The more we have that we can at least hold on to that seems firm to make our plans with going forward ‌. the better,â€? Trivett said.

Council member John Hodges said gauging the impact of new overpasses on town traffic is vital to future planning, and urged his fellow members to approve the request for $108,000 to hire Kinley-Horn for the study.

In other business, council also approved an appropriation to hire a Town Hall commissioner to oversee construction of the town’s $8 million legacy project.

The commissioning agent would oversee quality control on the design and construction of the new facility, representing the town in matters see RAIL, pg. 26

JEAN ELIZABETH BROWNE TURNER Jean Elizabeth Browne Turner passed peacefully in her sleep on August 29, 2018.

She was born December 7, 1924, TURNER in Jamshedpur, India, to Baptist missionaries Zo D. and Beth H. Browne.

The family returned to the U.S. in 1926 and settled in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

Jean attended Wayland Academy in Beaverdam, Wisconsin, Franklin College, Denison University (B.S. in

Philosophy) and Westminster Choir College (B.A. in Organ Music). In 1951, Jean was brought to Richmond as Minister of Music and Choir Director by Barton Heights Methodist Church, where she expanded the music program to four adult and children’s choirs. She also met her husband of 55 years, Luther H. Turner, in the choir. Later, Jean served as organist and choir director at Brookland United Methodist Church and taught many local children piano in the living room of her home. Always interested in learning something new, over the years she delved into astrology, healing touch, organic gardening, chickens and goats, beekeeping, finally settling into her true calling, naturopathic medicine.

She remained active with the church throughout her life and was a member of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority. She also was truly interested in meeting and learning other people’s life stories. Anyone who met her in her later years would inevitably be asked first where they were from. She crossed every boundary with her diverse circle of friends. In addition to her parents, Jean was predeceased by her husband, Luther; her daughter, Laurie Lou Turner; and her brothers, Phillip Browne of Los Alamos, New Mexico, and David Browne of Santa Rosa, California.

“We have to, in turn, make sure the lessons we are preparing in the classroom are relevant to them and the world they are living in.”

“Equity is the recognition that a cookie cutter approach or one size fits all does not serve our students well. From a resources standpoint -- human or physical -- we have to provide every student with the tools they need in order to be successful.”

“Equity can manifest itself in many different ways: staffing decisions, budget and resource

allocation,” Gill continued.

He views innovation as a method of “putting the joy back into teaching. Therefore, when our teachers are being given permission to say yes to things that they are passionate about, they, in turn, get students engaged in learning. When engaged, they’re learning.”

With Standards of Learning emphasized throughout the Virginia school system, Gill said there was a lot of criticism when the testing came into being. He said the focus seemed to be on materials and testing.

“We believe in accountability; we also believe no single test, no single metric should determine the worth of a child,

teacher or school division.”

“When teachers want to go beyond the test, when they want to try out a new an idea, we shouldn’t be scared of that – we should embrace it,” Gill said.

He also said that administrators should “Say yes to teachers and teachers should say yes to students. When students are excited about learning, we should capitalize on learning rather than simply saying that we may not have time for that because it may not be on the test.”

“They [students] are more likely to master the material that is covered on the test,” which, Gill said, again returns to relevance – “What is rel-

evant to that first pillar for a lifetime.”

With the continuing advances in technology, the superintendent said they are in the second year of a five-year tech plan “that we unveiled two budget cycles ago.” He did say they are on schedule.

“This year high school received laptops in early summer and our elementary teachers will receive them later this fall.” Middle school teachers got them last year.

Laptops will be made available to students during the middle and high school years.

A significant addition to the county schools this year is the Raptor Visitor Management System, whereby

first-time visitors are automatically checked against the Sex Offender Registry. Gill sees the system as another tool in ensuring safety and security in all the schools.

Those who are cleared to enter the building receive an ID badge is printed with a photo identification.

“When staff sees them in the hallway, they will either be wearing a staff or visitor ID. He said they are “teaching in a digital environment and the technology has to be used in a way that is going to be transformational in learning and allow our students to do things that otherwise would not be possible without the technology.”

HCPS has “upgraded infra-

structure in all of our buildings to handle increased traffic.”

Lee-Davis High School and Patrick Henry High School have undergone complete renovations in their auditoriums.

Last week had Gill on the road every day as he visited all 25 county schools. With pride, he said he had experienced “positive energy in every building. There are high hopes in all of our buildings this year.”

The positivity, he added, was more obvious this year.

“I don’t know how really to describe it; a real positive vibe that permeated that. My effort is to really keep it going, and make sure we are able to maintain it throughout the year.”

ICHMOND -- Persons who attended the former Hanover County Training School, along with those who attended John M. Gandy High School, gathered on Saturday, Aug. 25, for a reunion at the Claude G. Perkins, Living and Learning Center, on the campus of Virginia Union University.

The reunions are held every two years and this year marked 20 years of celebration.

Nearly 200 people, including more recent graduates of Hermitage High School, Highland Springs High School, Patrick Henry and LeeDavis High Schools attended the event.

Mrs. Ollehi Ross, Class of 1942; Andrew Bagby, Class of 1948; and Harry Dandridge, Class of 1949, Hanover County Training School; were the three oldest graduates attending the reunion.

Avon White, John M. Gandy Class of 1968, served as toastmaster for the event.

Memorabilia was provided

Other guests included representatives from the Ashland Museum and the Ashland Main Street Organization.

The program included just the right amount of tunes from the 1960s era with music provided by the band Just Friends, and sacred music from the voice of Mrs. Hattie Weatherless.

Thomas Tunstall reignited interest in the reunions in 1998 and he continues today assisted by his wife, Rufenia Tunstall, John M. Gandy Class of 1962, along with George Gray, John M. Gandy Class of 1966, and the reunion committee.

Land use program open enrollment underway HANOVER -- Hanover County offers a Land Use Taxation Program under which qualified landowners can have their property assessed at “use value,” which may be lower than market value and reduce taxes owed.

The application period for this program began Sept. 1 and extends through Nov. 1, with an additional enrollment period of Jan. 1 to Feb. 1, 2019.

Landowners who have kept their property in agricultural, horticultural, forest or open space uses for at least five years can qualify for the land use program.

The minimum qualifying acreages are five acres for agricultural, horticultural and open space and 20 acres for forest use.

Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program.

If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax years.

In November 2013, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors modified the program to allow property rezoned for specified, more intense, uses to remain eligible for land use.

Under this change, property rezoned for manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; professional, scientific and technical services; hotels and motels; and professional offices can still be in the land use program. Roll-back taxes would not apply until the

actual use is changed.

About 3,540 parcels and 152,754 acres are currently enrolled in Hanover County’s Land Use Taxation program. This represents about 52% of the county’s total acreage. The total tax deferral realized by these property owners is about $5.1 million.

For more information about the Land Use Program or other tax relief programs offered by Hanover County, call the Commissioner of the Revenue at 804-365-6125 or visit the Land Use page for the Commissioner of the Revenue at www.hanovercounty.gov.

I have more confidence in my smile every week. I also, now, for the first time in several years, feel that no one stares at my big snaggletooth when I talk.

And I have had several compliments from follow employees and friends!!!! Your dental practice and your confidence in me, that I could do it, has totally and forever changed my life!!!!”

Delay worth wait in Atlee win at Godwin

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local RICHMOND – They waited and waited. And when Mother Nature finally allowed the Atlee Raiders to take the field at Axselle Stadium at Mills Godwin High School Friday night, their offense found three plays reminiscent of the lightning strikes which delayed action, as the Raiders claimed a 21-7 victory to improve to 2-0.

“I didn’t realize it was going to be that long. I had no idea,” Atlee head coach Matt Gray stated concerning a lightning delay which kept fans out of the stadium until shortly before 8 p.m., delaying kickoff nearly an hour and a half to 8:24 p.m.

“Our guys were chomping at the bit, but it really didn’t affect our kids. We’ve talked about this since winter time, you can only control what you can control.”

Once on the field, the Atlee defense looked to continue to stymie an Eagles offense held to just 13 points in their first two games, both losses. Overcoming a 5-yard penalty, on second and 17, the offense set the tone first as Virginia Tech commit Tyler Warren fired over the middle on a slant to Alex Oliver, who caught the ball at midfield, shook a tackle, and raced up the middle for a 61-yard score for a 7-0 Atlee lead with 4:50 left in the opening quarter.

Atlee receiver Alex Oliver (7) and quarterback Tyler Warren (10) celebrate their 61-yard touchdown connection, which gave the Raiders a 6-0 lead in their 21-7 victory over host Mills Godwin Friday night.

Godwin at bay, the offense was the beneficiary of a penalty just before halftime, a facemask call on the Eagles which put the Raiders at the Godwin 40.

Thanks to two good blocks, Tucker Bratton found the end

zone on the very next play, and Atlee happily returned to the locker room which was their longer than usual home earlier in the evening with a 14-0 lead.

The Eagles finally found points through a big play of

their own, and a couple of key missed tackling opportunities by the Raiders. Running back Charlie Stanton shed defenders and rumbled 39 yards down the left sidelines to put Mills Godwin on the board with 1:07

left in the third period at 14-7.

The momentum shifted to the Eagles, who began a drive at the Atlee 42 with 8:04 left to play.

The Mechanicsville Local

MECHANICSVILLE -- The Atlee girls and Deep Run boys highlighted a number of strong local performances with their first-place finishes Saturday morning at the Pole Green XC Classic at Pole Green Park.

The meet, hosted

by Lee-Davis, kicked off the cross country season with runners from across the state participating. In addition to Atlee’s firstplace showing, other local schools finishing in the top five of the girls championship race were Glen Allen (third) and Cosby (fourth). Midlothian (seventh), Deep Run (ninth) and Goochland (10th) made the top 10.

Rebels jump on Confederates early in win of the final quarter to put the Rebels up 41-28. Rice scored on a 10-yard run at 5:12 to bring the Confederates to 41-34.

Then, at 4:10, Danny Bullock scored on a 15-yard run to ensure the Rebels’ victory.

“We have an unbelievable group of guys,” Henderson said.

“They believe in each other. We (the coaches) believe in them.

It’s a good feeling coming to work with these guys every day.”

By Weldon Bradshaw For the Times-Dispatch HENRICO – Strike early.

Set the tone. Make a statement.

Never quit.

That was Douglas Freeman’s mission. Mission accomplished.

Friday night at William E. Long Stadium, coach Mike Henderson’s team jumped out to a 38-15 halftime lead over visiting Lee-Davis and then held on as the Confederates battled back in the second half to claim a 48-34 victory in an aggressively contested game that started 55 minutes late because of thunder and lightning.

“We saw some things on film that we thought we could exploit, and we were able to do that early on,” Henderson said. “We have a big-time wide receiver: Liam Simpson. We liked the matchups that we had, and he was able to make some plays.

“And what can I say about Pat Taylor. He makes plays. And if you don’t block right, he still makes plays.”

Taylor, a 5-foot-10, 180pound junior, returned a punt 88 yards for the Rebels’ first touchdown and added two more on runs of 5 and 31 yards.

“The line was just pushing them out, and I cut it back when I could,” said Taylor, who had nine carries for 70 yards.

“Probably our jet play worked the best. I couldn’t bounce out-

Bratton finished with 133 yards rushing on six carries, while Warren had a total of

139 yards from scrimmage. He also had two long pass attempts to Bratton which were bullet throws, but just overthrown, two big plays that could have been. Warren also contributed on special teams in two key situations, blasting punts of 56 and 50 yards to help keep Mills Godwin deep in its own ter-

ritory.

The Raiders are scheduled to host their home opener Friday against 2-1 Douglas Freeman, the renewal of a rivalry which, at times, has rivaled annual affairs with Lee-Davis and Hanover.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Jaguars pounce on Patriots

By Jonathan Howard For the Times-Dispatch GLEN ALLEN – Glen Allen was certainly electric on both sides of the ball in Friday night’s contest against Patrick Henry.

Perhaps, so electric that it caused a temporary blackout in the stadium. Donovan Riddick and Chris Butler connected for three first-half touchdowns and the Jaguars defense held Patrick Henry quarterback Alex Sikkar in check all night as Glen Allen (1-1) coasted to a 35-8 victory over Patrick Henry (1-1).

The game was paused at the beginning of the fourth quarter as the stadium lights cut out just before play was set to begin. The delay lasted roughly 20 minutes as the lights reset.

The blackout only delayed the inevitable, as the Jaguars used big plays early and often to score the game’s first four touchdowns. Riddick hit Butler

for a 32-yard score on fourth down on the team’s first possession. The receiver beat his man on a slant, and raced by the remaining defense for the touchdown. On the next Glen Allen possession, Butler took a short screen pass, danced past an initial defender and streaked 85 yards to the end zone.

Butler, in his first season with the football team, finished with 7 catches for 203 yards on the night.

“Chris Butler is a first year player for us. He’s been explosive all camp, Glen Allen head coach Salvatore Camp said.

“He had an off game last week, obviously he rebounded this week.”

By bottling up Sikkar, the Glen Allen defense allowed the Jaguars offense to continue to set the pace. Sikkar, who ran for over 200 yards in a victory over Dave Lawrence/The Local

Panthers prove too much for Hawks

By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Hanover quarterback Tyler Elrod (2) tries to elude Massaponax linebacker Lanxton Athy in the Panthers’ 51-3 victory Friday.

MECHANICSVILLE – The Hanover Hawks had one of the longest weather delays in the metro area on Friday night, having to wait nearly two and a half hours from the scheduled start time before finally getting underway at around 9:30 pm.

For the Hawks, and their faithful, the anticipated contest against Spotsylvania County foe Massaponax High School did not have the result they wanted.

Hanover was unable to stop a talented Panther offense with any consistency, and the

Panthers marched to a 51-3point victory over the Hawks.

The Panthers’ ground game moved the ball at will, accounting for 325 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the night.

Quarterback Evan Schickel led the Panthers with 100 yards of his own.

Although Hawks coach Derek Stoudt saw flashes of potential from his team, the offense was futile against a physical Massaponax defense.

Hanover sophomore running back Eric Rankin got most of the workload, carrying the ball 12 times, but managed only 33 yards, with the longest going for 11. The Hawks pass-

ing game struggled to find any sort of a rhythm, allowing the Massaponax defense to crowd the line of scrimmage and key in on Rankin.

Hanover received the opening kick and managed to work to near midfield before stalling out. Rankin touched the ball on six of the first eight plays for the Hawks.

The Massaponax offense wasted little getting the scoring started, going 60 yards on five plays, and finishing with a long 41-yard touchdown run

by Schickel.

Following a Hanover threeand-out, the Hawks punted the ball back to Massaponax.

The Mechanicsville Local

The Panthers returner mishandled the punt, and the Hawks pounced on the loose ball near midfield.

The momentum swing would prove to be short-lived.

On the very next play, Hawks quarterback Tyler Elrod fumbled the snap and Massaponax recovered.

Looking to seize back control of the game, the Panthers drove the ball quickly down the field. Schickel threw swing pass to receiver Jacob Romero, going for 18 yards, and taking the Panthers down to the goal line.

Romero would finish the drive see HAWKS, pg. 31

Girls bring strength to cross country teams championship race and four in the junior varsity race.

“We don’t know what we have,” Mathews said. “We are extremely – extremely young.”

The Lee-Davis girls’ elder stateswomen are senior Katie Davis and junior Desirae Horsley, who returns to cross country after a season off last year. Sophomore Sierra Puleo – who finished 12th in the Pole Green Classic – may be the Confederate girls’ top runner.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Most area cross country teams took a hit from graduation last year, leaving it to younger runners to step into the roles of their predecessors fairly early in their high school careers.

Despite the youth among area cross country ranks, the teams are lucky: The youth stepping up have the talent to make an impact – some already are – and much of that talent resides among the girls ranks.

Atlee The Raiders may have the best, most experienced team in Hanover County, and one of the top teams in the area, among both the boys and girls contingents – both teams have four seniors returning to the starting ranks. The seniors, such as Kameron Helmlinger on the boys side and Emma Sudol on the girls side, have been key contributors to the Raiders’ success for years.

“We’re going to be real strong on both sides,” said Atlee head coach Tyler Busch. “Our girls, we lost one out of our top seven. Our boys, we lost a few out of our top seven. So we’ve got a big crew returning from last year.”

But Atlee may find its biggest individual contributors from its younger runners.

Sophomore Rachel Mudd quickly established herself as a contender in her freshman year.

With a fourth-place finish in the girls championship race at the Pole Green Cross Country Classic Saturday, she looks well placed to build upon her past successes. A junior, Cabell Franklin, will also carry much of the running load. She finished eighth in the Pole Green Classic. The performances by

Atlee’s Rachel Mudd paces the Raider girls to victory in the girls championship race of the Pole Green Cross Country Classic with a fourth place finish in 18:51.20 at Pole Green Park Saturday. Atlee’s boys finished third in their championship race.

Mudd and Franklin helped the Raider girls claim a first-place finish in the meet.

On the boys side, sophomore Ian Sellors finished a few steps behind Helmlinger as the two came in fifth and sixth, respectively, in the Pole Green Classic. They helped Atlee’s boys finish third in the championship race.

Hanover What Hanover lacks in experience, they should make up for in depth. Hanover head cross country coach Rich Firth is confident his Hawks – both girls and boys – will be in the mix in Region 4B at the end of the season.

“One the boys side, we have

The Mechanicsville Local

a lot of depth. We’re real young, and we lost Nathaniel Good, our top runner last year, but I have really good core of freshmen and once they figure it out, I think they will be able to help us.”

A sophomore, Cole Myers, will lead the Hawk boys. Myers finished 71st out of the more than 250-runner field in the Pole Green Classic boys championship race Saturday.

A junior, Rachel Crytser, will lead the Hanover girls continent. Crytser has been one of the top Hawk runners from the time she joined Hanover’s cross country and track teams as a freshman, and she should be able to improve upon an already solid legacy. Her biggest chal-

September 12, 2018

lenge should be mental, Firth said.

“Rachel Crytser now has to transfer the same mentality she has in track – where she owns races and knows she can win – to cross country,” Firth said.

“The physical part, she has.”

Crytser finished 13th in the girls championship race in the Pole Green Classic Saturday.

Lee-Davis The Confederates had solid running units on both its boys and girls teams last year, but graduation cleaned the cupboard – to the benefit of colleges like George Mason and the University of Richmond. So, while Lee-Davis lacks experience, it has plenty of depth on

the boys side. It has plenty of talent on the girls side, but is struggling in terms of numbers.

“We’re looking energetic and inexperienced right now,” said Lee-Davis head cross country coach Neil Mathews. “But we’re very enthusiastic.”

The boys team, led by senior Avery Witherow, has a core group of juniors – including Payton Fox and Gerrit Moyar – who have been running together for the past three years.

Mathews expect that will help all of them improve over the course of the season.

Graduation and injuries have decimated the Confederate roster on the girls side. Only eight girls competed in the Pole Green Classic – four in the girls

Patrick Henry The Patrick Henry girls and boys teams seem a study in opposites. The Patriot girls have four seniors and no freshmen.

The boys have four freshmen and no seniors.

While Patrick Henry’s girls are led by four seniors – Hailey Draper, Emma Fallin, Caroline Joyce and Alycia Richardson – their best runner may be from the younger end of the spectrum: sophomore Emmy Joyce, who led the Patriots to an 11thplace finish by coming in 18th in the Pole Green Classic girls championship race.

The boys are led by an even younger member of their team: freshman Trevor Mason, who finished 32nd at the Pole Green Classic.

The most important challenge for the Patriots – both boys and girls – is staying healthy.

“The biggest key right now is not breaking down as we get close to the end of the season,” said Patrick Henry head cross country coach Jeremy Dobrinski. “That’s what happened to us last year on the girls side. We had a good shot of making it to the state meet and we get down to the regional meet and fall apart a little bit.”

Caroline, was held to just 25 yards rushing in the first half.

Meanwhile, Riddick was to turn a broken play into a 20-yard touchdown run and connected with Butler on a 16-yard screen pass to put the Jaguars up 28-0 with 2:15 remaining.

“We prepared for [Sikkar] all week. We knew he was an elusive kid,” Camp said. “He hurt us last year. We had a great game plan … and our kids stepped up. The pressure for us is on the defensive side of the ball this year and they stepped up.”

Patrick Henry backup quarterback Jayden Mines led the Patriots on a touchdown drive as the first half expired, finding Jeremiah Royall on a 5-yard fade pass at the gun. Mines ran in the 2-point conversion, bringing the score to 28-8 at half.

Glen Allen continued its dominance on both sides of the ball in the second half, forcing a turnover on downs on Patrick Henry’s first drive. The Jaguars followed the stop with a 15-play time-eating drive that ended in a Devin Flowers 1-yard run for the game’s final score.

“I’ve done this course before, so I know it by heart now.”

with local schools finishing near the top as well, with Atlee (third), James River (fourth), Midlothian (fifth) and Cosby (sixth) joining Deep Run in the top 10. The Trojans were anchored by senior Max Etka’s second-place finish in 15:56.30.

“I wanted to get low points for my team, and I think I got that done,” Etka said. “It’s early in the season. My fitness isn’t all the way there obviously, but I was 15 seconds faster than here last year and three seconds off my personal best, so I cannot be mad.”

In addition to Etka, Deep Run junior Colby Burcham finished fourth at 16:15.60,

and Atlee senior Kameron Helmlinger was right behind, finishing fifth at 16:15.90.

Helmlinger expressed satisfaction over his time, noting he is coming off an injury he sustained in the spring during the outdoor track season.

“I think it was right around what I got last year,” he said. “I didn’t really have much time to get ready for this race, so I was just happy I got to come out and finish this race.”

The boys championship race was won by Virginia Episcopal’s Daniel O’Brien in 15:36.90. Helmlinger’s teammate, Ian Sellors, finished sixth in 16:23.00. Top finishers from

a few plays later, on a toss to the right side for the score.

The rout was on.

Massaponax would get a safety, and score three more touchdowns in the second quarter, to take a 37-0 lead.

The lone Hawks’ bright spot came with only 15 seconds remaining in the first half. A touchback by kicker Jonathan Kim meant Hanover would have to go 80 yards to break the shutout before the half ended.

And that is exactly what they did.

Elrod found his target – receiver Edward Robinson for a quick strike and a gain of 22 yards. The Hawks called a timeout and dialed up a similar play to Joshua Blue, for another big gain.

Kicker John Dustin lined up for a long 46-yard field goal attempt on the final play of the half. The snap and hold were good, and Dustin struck the ball perfectly, getting just enough, as the ball bounced off the crossbar and through the goal posts as time expired.

“Most of the time I know as soon as I kick [the ball] if its good or not, but I wasn’t sure

other area schools include Avery Witherow (Lee-Davis), who finished 16th in 16:58.60; Trevor Mason (Patrick Henry), who finished 32nd in 17:19.20; and Cole Myers (Hanover), who was 71st in 18:00.80.

Patrick Henry, led by Luke Taylor with a ninth place finished in 18:49.50, came in sixth overall in the boy small schools race.

While the humidity hovered around 90 percent throughout the day, it did not seem to affect the runners too much.

“I noticed it when I was warming up. I wore adidas pants and a long sleeve to keep my muscles warm, and after the

about this one” Dustin said of his career long kick. “I got a nice bounce and I was really happy to see it go in.”

Most of the second half was played with a running clock, and the Hawks would fail to score again.

One bright spot was the play of Hanover backup quarterback Cooper McClanahan, who entered the game to start the fourth quarter. McClanahan had 67 yards passing on 5 attempts, including a 46-yard completion to Donnell Sims.

For coach Stoudt, the game can be used as a measuring stick to show his young team the level of play required to achieve their goals.

“We had some good individual efforts that we can build on. We are going to pull out the positives and regroup.”

The Hawks will host Mills Godwin this week.

first segment of our warmup, I was dripping,” Etka said.

However, Etka was quick to point out that 60-70-degree weather and overcast skies are among his favorite conditions for running, and he also noted that everyone else ran in the same weather.

“Actually, it wasn’t that bad today,” Mudd said. She said the most difficult part was dealing with the sweat on her face. She also noted she had difficulty breathing at times.

Yellow Jackets overcome slow start, Cougars

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – When you know your starting tailback won’t play and your versatile halfback is not in top form, what do you do? Get creative.

Randolph-Macon’s offense used everything from a tight end at running back to a formation almost never seen, then counted on a Yellow Jacket defense stung by Johns Hopkins for 56 points to bounce back. It wasn’t easy, but Randolph-Macon took their eighth straight win over Averett University Saturday night 24-14 to even its record at 1-1.

“Really proud of our defense, but really all of our kids. I thought they played really hard,” said Yellow Jackets head coach Pedro Arruza.

“There were some tough moments in that game and I thought we missed out on some opportunities.”

The first one came early, as the opening drive, which chewed almost eight minutes off the clock in classic RandolphMacon fashion, ended when Chris Vidal’s 33-yard field goal attempt was blocked. However, his Cougar counterpart, Cole Westberry, a Division III AllAmerican in 2017, missed wide right on a 47-yard attempt on Averett’s first possession.

Vidal didn’t miss on his next try, hitting a 21-yard kick to end a nine-play, 58-yard drive that stalled at the Cougars 4-yard line with 7:13 left in the second quarter. Just before the half, after Michael Sheehan chased down Averett quarterback Jacob Wright at the Yellow Jackets’ 6-yard line, 2 yards short of a first and goal.

Westberry missed a 23-yard attempt, and the Yellow Jackets took a precarious 3-0 lead to the locker room.

After Averett punted quick-

drive, then an interception of Estes returned to the Yellow Jacket 18 to set up a second score, the Yellow Jackets slammed the door with a textbook 10-play, 75-yard drive, ending in a 4-yard touchdown run from DeLeon, who immediately ran to the sidelines to find Hall and celebrate with him. The twosome combined for 140 rushing yards.

Key to the drive was a play that sent left tackle Jordaan Rochester, still ineligible, out as a receiver, confusing the Cougar defense, sending tight end Sam Tanner open up the middle for a 26-yard reception down to the nine.

“We call that play ‘Fight Song’,” Arruza explained about a play many Yellow Jacket fans had never seen. “We made [Rochester] a decoy. Had to cover him.”

Randolph-Macon turns attention now to two subjects: Catholic University, coming to Day Field Saturday for a 1 p.m. game, and getting Frederick, Hoy, and others fully healthy as the first game of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference schedule looms in less than three weeks.

The Yellow Jackets open ODAC play with a trip to Lexington to face defending conference champion Washington & Lee. The Dave Lawrence/The Local Generals are off to a 2-0 start, Randolph-Macon wide receiver Deandre Gill (3) falls into the end zone for a 29-yard completion from Burk Estes and the game’s and the Yellow Jackets will need first touchdown in the Yellow Jackets’ 24-14 victory over visiting Averett at Day Field Saturday. all hands on deck.
