BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Everett Withers and the JMU Dukes ventured into the mountains of Bethlehem, Pa. looking to collect their first win against a well-coached Lehigh University Mountain Hawks team. After exchanging leads and points, the Dukes went into halftime trailing 21-10. JMU had already missed a field goal as well as a sure touchdown after redshirt senior wide receiver Sean Tapley dropped redshirt junior quarterback Vad Lee’s pass downfield. Even with those miscues, the Dukes came out for the second half ready to go. Despite waiting 30 minutes due to a weather delay, the defense was able to fire off the ball with authority and the offense was able to move the chains through the air and on the ground. The Dukes outscored the Hawks 21-7 in the second half,
and came away with the win after true freshman corner Jimmy Moreland blocked what would have been a game-tying field goal. Moreland, who was beat on a double move for a touchdown earlier in the game, wasn’t fazed by his mistake and ended up making the play of the game and earning a great deal of respect from his teammates. “The funny thing was that Jimmy blocked a field goal in Wednesday’s practice,” senior safety Dean Marlowe said. “And after he gave up that touchdown pass I found him and told him he was going to find a way to bounce back and he did. He did a great job.” As much as the late-game heroics are the topic of discussion, the Dukes made significant strides after being pummeled by the University of Maryland 52-7 just seven days prior. One thing that evaded the offense in that game was its ability to block see football, page 9

INSTAGRAM OF THE DAY
On a fateful midnight more than 200 years ago, a man named Jack Jouett rode along Three Notch’d Road in Charlottesville to warn Thomas Jefferson of an impending British attack on Monticello. To this day, the legend lives on in the form of a brewery named Three Notch’d Brewing Company. It’s located in Charlottesville, but a new location has opened in downtown Harrisonburg on East Market Street. Three Notch’d’s location in Harrisonburg officially opened during graduation week this past year,
but August 30 was its grand opening celebration. The Charlottesville location is a behemoth compared to Harrisonburg’s location, boasting a 320-barrel brewing capacity whereas the latter has only a barrel, or two kegs worth, of brewing capacity. The Harrisonburg location is, essentially, a test drive. “Harrisonburg is known for having a great palette,” Betsy O’Brien, the taproom manager, said. O’Brien has a point: Virginia, and even the Shenandoah Valley itself, has become a major hub for craft breweries. Many downtown venues boast a beer menu full of local craft beers (Billy Jack’s, Jack Brown’s, Capital Ale House). Harrisonburg
has exploded with breweries and other vendors of craft beers over the past two years (Midtowne Bottle Shop, Three Brothers Brewing and soon, Pale Fire Brewing Company). O’Brien has ambitious goals for the new location. On a broad level she hopes to make this new brewery an important piece of downtown Harrisonburg. “I think craft beer has this really unique spot, same as local food, where you tie yourself — you tie your business — to the local area, to the local history,” O’Brien said. O’Brien’s words are exemplified by the beer brewed at Three Notch’d. see notch’d, page 8
