Goochland Fall Festival draws 2,000 By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Rainy weather postponed this year’s Fall Festival until Sunday but the turnout was still good, said Recreation and Parks and Facilities Management Director Derek Stamey. Michele Nixon and Drive provided lively musical entertainment as the estimated 2,000 visitors enjoyed the sunny seasonal weather at the old Goochland High School football field.

A petting zoo, pony rides, Halloween crafts and a costume contest were all a part of the afternoon. Two youngsters dressed as Lego characters won the prize for most original outfits. Games in abundance were available for the kids’ amusement. An ever popular one was the bell ringer. Katherine Elliot, 5, almost rang the bell. “I was pretty impressed,” said her mom, Maygan, “She got it up higher than some other kids.” The festival was originally scheduled for Satuday.

Kwamane Gordon Davis of Cumberland saw his cousin Alvin Daniels shot in the back three times at a late night party more than a year ago in western Goochland County. In retaliation, he picked up a shotgun and pursued the shooter, Dwayne Richard Hardy of Goochland, firing two shots. One shot killed Hardy, severing vertebrae in his neck and piercing his carotid artery, said Goochland Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Nancy Oglesby in Goochland County Circuit Court last week. Davis, 21, dressed in suit and tie, pled guilty to a charge of voluntary manslaughter. The plea agreement had been reached between his attorney, Shannon Taylor and the Goochland Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office prior to the court date, originally designated as the beginning of a two-day bench trial on a second degree murder charge.

The violence stemmed from a late night party in the 3600 block of Hadensville-Fife Road on Sept. 12, 2010. According to evidence summarized by Oglesby at the Oct. 26 hearing, more than 100 people were at the party, where a dance floor with a DJ had been set up outside. Earlier in the day a baby shower was held at the same address but there was no connection between the two events, said Oglesby. Many of those at the party had been drinking and although the prosecution had interviewed 16 witnesses, accounts of what happened varied greatly, said Oglesby, with witnesses mostly divided into opposing camps. What was clear is that two rival groups arrived at the event. The “Dogtown Boys” and the “Cartersville Gangsters,”alsoknownasthe“Central Virginia Gangsters” had been feuding since high school days but a truce had been called a week before. But Hardy, a Dogtown member and Alvin Daniels of the Cartersville group, had not heard of the truce and began arguing. Hardy then produced a handgun and pointed it at Daniels.

Goochland School Board members decided to postpone a vote on the Comprehensive Plan last week after hearing objections during the public comment period. Jane Christie, who said she was speaking on behalf of the members of the Finance and Budget Subcommitte, objected to changes made in the committee’s input and read a letter from fellow subcommitte member Dean Young. “Three of our four goals were deleted alltogether,” said Christie. “It looks like a whitewash. The majority do not agree with the words you are putting in our mouths.” Michael Payne, also a member of the Finance and Budget Subcommittee and a candidate for School Board in District 1, said he too was dissappointed in the result. Later in the week Elizabeth Nelson-Lyda, chairperson of the subcommittee, said she also

was “dissappointed with the final product,” adding that the committee members did not want their names associated with it in its current form. The controversy concerned the distillation by Schools Administration of four goals submitted by the subcommitte down to a three line item, much shorter than any of the other focus areas included for approval by the board. Christie and Nelson-Lyda said the end result was so vague as to be basically meaningless. But Goochland Superintendent of Schools Linda Underwood said she felt “the staff have honored the work the subcommittees have done.” School Board Chairman Ivan Mattox, Jr. then said that he would like to delay action on approval of the Comprehensive Plan. “I would like to before we approve the document as a courtesy to the chairs of the subcommittees to get their comment,” said Mattox. The matter was then essentially tabled without a vote being

taken. Mattox said later he wanted to find the “disconnect .” “I’m just trying to understand what their concerns are,” he said, adding that he was hoping to resolve those concerns so that the vote on the focus areas could be taken at the Nov. 27 workshop meeting. Board member Raymond Miller said he thought the disagreement “is about the process expectation that if we change something it needs to be communicated.” The board voted to cancel its regular Nov. 8 meeting because it fell on Election Day. The Dec. 27 workshop meeting was also cancelled. Not all comments on the focus areas of the Comp Plan were unfavorable. Goochland NAACP chapter president Sekou Shabaka welcomed the inclusion of language in the Academic Programs focus area which set closing the achievement gap as a goal. But he offered a number of suggestions and said again

that “unconscious bias must be discussed and exposed. The document is good but the culture must be changed,” he said. In other business, the Board approved a supplemental appropriation of $192,237 from a grant provided by the Virginia Department of Education, Workforce Investment Act. The money is to be used “for the purpose of providing expanded career guidance and esperiences to high school students,” according to the agenda item.

and pursued Hardy, firing the fatal shot. The entire sequence of events took place in under two minutes, possibly much less, said Oglesby. Taylor said toxicology reports showed that Hardy had a blood alcohol level of .21 at the time of death and said that if the case had gone to trial she would have explored the self-defense aspect of the case. “He was fearful of what would

happen to other people,” said Taylor of Davis’ frame of mind after seeing his cousin shot. Goochland Circuit Court Judge Timothy K. Sanner commented on the complexity of the case, where there were two groups drinking alcohol, some of them armed, before pronouncing Davis guilty. He set sentencing for December 20 and ordered a pre-sentence report and a vic-

tim impact statement be prepared. Daniels, paralyzed from the waist down by the shooting, was present at the hearing in a wheelchair. Davis faces up to 10 years in prison on the charge. He remains free on $100,000 bond. Taylor said she would ask that both Davis and Daniels be allowed to testify at the sentencing hearing.

Retiring Goochland District 5 Supervisor James W. Eads wants to defer a vote on the proposed move by Benedictine Preparatory School to Goochland until February. “It’s an important issue. It should be decided by the new board rather than a lame duck board,” said Eads, who is not running for re-election. Republican Ken Peterson is running unopposed to fill his seat. The other four incumbents, who are running for re-election each face opposition. In a move that surprised many observers, Darvin Satterwhite, representing Benedictine, requested a last minute 90-day deferral of the public hearing at the Board of Supervisors Sept. 6

meeting, which had been moved to Goochland High School in anticipation of a heavy turnout of speakers on the Conditional Use Permit request. About 200 people attended. At that time Satterwhite said the delay was needed to counter a “misinformation” campaign by opponents of the school’s proposed move to Goochland. The supervisors voted to grant the delay to Benedictine, with only District 3 supervisor Ned Creasey joining Eads in voting against it. The board went ahead and allowed those who wished to speak even though the issue had been postponed. Thirty-nine persons rose to voice their opinions. Eads request for a further delay will be discussed at next Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting during the afternoon

session, according to the agenda released this afternoon. “I don’t have a problem with it,” said Creasey of the proposed additional two-month delay. “It would probably be a good thing.” Board of Supervisors Chairman William E. Quarles Jr. (District 2) said he would wait until next week’s discussion before forming an opinion on Eads’ request. District 4 Supervisor Malvern R. “Rudy” Butler said Friday that he was unaware of Eads’ desire to further postpone the public hearing and would also wait until Tuesday to hear the discussion before taking a position. He said that he thought Benedictine was planning a community meeting in November to counter objections to the school’s proposed move to its River Road site.

Eads said Friday that he had been ready to hear the public in September and vote on the CUP. Eads said that Benedictine would not be hurt by a further delay. “They (Benedictine) are not injured by it,” said Eads, citing the school’s request for a threemonth delay. He reiterated that the issue was so important that the board that voted on it should “have to live with it.”

Candidates in new state senate 22nd district battle down to the wire

Greg Blanchard 804-457-9426

The race for the newly created 22nd district Virginia Senate seat is not slowing down with Election Day less than a week away. Louisa Commonwealth Attorney Tom Garrett is carrying the Republican banner and Lynchburg businessman Bert Dodson is his Democratic opponent. “There are four levels of government. There is federal, state, local and the kitchen table forms of government,” Garrett said by phone Oct. 31. “We need to determine the wants and needs of the people. When you need money to take a vacation, you don’t go to your neighbor and borrow it. Then you have to pay it back. You go out and get a second job and earn it. “We need to behave like we are sitting at our kitchen table making decisions,” he added. “When you reduce taxes, you created jobs. “ Dodson, president of Dodson Pest Control with multistate offices, says his business experi-

ence will help him create jobs. “We’ve been very successful as a company, and I believe I can use my personal experience to create jobs,” he said by phone Oct. 28. Dodson also has said that Garrett would cut funds for public education. “My opponent would give vouchers to parents who want to take their children out of public school and put them in private school,” Dodson said. “By doing that, he is taking money from public schools and funding private schools.” Garrett vehemently denied the accusation.

“I have never said I’d cut spending for public education,” Garrett said. “His [Dodson] problem is he can’t run on his own record. Since being in office in Lynchburg, he has voted for every proposed tax increase. Real estate property tax and personal property tax have gone up, and unemployment in the Lynchburg area has gone up while he was in office.” While the candidates will continue to spar for four more days, on the fifth day, the voters Garrett will decide. The clock is ticking and time “We’ve got to get our supporters out to vote,” Garrett will run out for one of the cansaid. “We expect to do well all didates at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8 across the district, including the when the polls close.

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor

November 3, 2011

www.goochlandgazette.com

Our endorsement Is of the democratic process. Many newspapers follow the time honored practice of endorsing candidates in elections at all levels. In state and national campaigns, aspiring politicians will tote up the various endorsements they’ve received as the campaign winds down and use them in their last campaign ads as proof of their worthiness to hold office. Funny thing is, I can’t for the life of me remember when an endorsement by a newspaper has swayed my vote. Ever. So what we have concentrated on at the Gazette and what we hope we have accomplished with our coverage of these most important local races is to help the voters educate themselves on the issues and candidates, with the expectation that they will take the time to go to the polls and cast their vote. For make no mistake, as many have noted, Goochland County faces a complex set of problems and every concerned citizen ought hopefully be interested in how they will be attacked and who will be leading the charge. It’s the same all over. The recession of 2008-2009 is still with us, or at least the after effects. Revenues are down at the state and local levels. Federal spending is based on a level of borrowing that can’t be sustained indefinitely. The next Board of Supervisors likely faces a tougher budget process than last year. The next School Board likely will have less money to run the

system. Yet the need for essential services remains constant, putting those who will have to make policy decisions and those who will carry them out at the direction of the elected boards in the unenviable position of knowing that, whatever they do, many citizens will be disappointed. But, it is at just such times as these, when things are not going well, that one can take comfort in the democratic process we take so much for granted in this country. It was not always so here in the United States. It took a revolution, a Civil War and several constitutional amendments to guarantee the right to vote to the citizens. So no matter how many hokey columns you may have read about how lucky we are to live under a system of laws that allows a peaceful transition of power at each level of government, it’s worth saying one more time, because it’s true. We hope we’ve been helpful. We hope you’ll vote. Like our readers surely are, we’re looking forward to seeing how this most interesting campaign turns out and since our next print edition will go to press before the election results are known, we’ll do our first reporting on the Gazette Web site on the evening of Nov. 8. It should make for some exciting news. - Ken Odor

Letters to the Editor I think I may be living in Goofland As I continue to follow the past 10 years in Goochland County, and most immediately the effort for re-election of three of the four incumbents who have been making decisions for the past eight years, I have to scratch my head in amazement. How can these three believe they should be granted any more public trust or respect for the actions and decisions that have lead this county to the point of destruction it finds itself in today? The Supervisors of Districts 1 and 4 were present and aware of the deci-

sions they made which today appear misguided, incomprehensible and down right incompetent. The supervisor of District 2 has defended them and propagated continuation of their misguided strategies and actions. Collectively, they have amassed a debt and financial obligation burden on the citizens of this county of almost $200 million. Their irresponsible spending of our tax payer money now burdens every man, woman, and child with almost $100,000 of dept per person! At the center of this issue are the bonds used to fund and build the Tuckahoe Creek Service District (TCSD).

the heavy reliance on capital appreciation bonds and the ascending debt service schedule, the level of risk associated with financing of this size is greater than it otherwise would be.â&#x20AC;? These same supervisors for the past nine years have told their constituents that only those in the TCSD would pay for this debt through the Ad Valorem tax knowing this to be untrue. They have a legal obligation in this debt to provide tax and other revenues sufficient to meet the principal and interest requirements but they have, until recently, tried to keep it a secret and have done literally nothing to face the music and tell us the truth and begin dealing

with this horrendous problem. During this period they have presided over one of the worst mismanaged and inept county administrations in the country. An old country saying pretty well sums it up for me:

Former superintendent backs Haskell As a charter member of the Goochland Rotary Club, I recall that members commit at each weekly meeting to “tell the truth” and as a retired superintendent of the Goochland County Schools, I can answer the misleading rhetorical question asked in a recent letter to the Gazette editor:”...what does his (Jim Haskell) record show.” Under Mr. Haskell’s school board leadership, great achievements have been realized in the arts, athletics and academics. Goochland’s arts programs have gained repeated local and state recognition. Athletic programs have been expanded and moved from mediocre to district and state champions. And the academic achievement of students went from worrisome to excellent because of Mr. Haskell’s caring, competence and commitment. It is important to remember the “real truth”

This money was returned at the end of each year rather than being spent on teachers, books, classroom supplies, etc, etc, and during this three year period, GCPS has cut almost 30 classroom teachers with absolutely no corresponding administrative cuts.

If you are thinking of skipping the voting booth this year because you have no children attending GCPS, and think Ned Creasey, our incumbent Supervisor, is assured an easy re-election, I think you are mistaken. Ned recently wrote where he states – “For the past 4 years relationship with the School Board in my opinion has been dismal to the detriment of students, teachers, employees and all the citizens of Goochland. As I have publicly stated, “I don’t believe funding is the

problem, but lack of leadership and wise use of the funds available IS the problem.” Goochland’s children need John, Goochland County needs John, and Ned needs John to continue the work he started four years ago shining the light on Goochland’s problems while providing the leadership to correct them.

It is my hope that all of you who live in District 4 would make this same inquiry and find out the difference this tax would make to your taxes. I sincerely believe that if you made this inquiry and found out the same thing that I did you would without hesitation support Rudy Butler, as would I, if I lived in his district.

low his lead. At a Board of Supervisors meeting earlier this year, Goochland citizens addressed the Board with their concerns on the Tuckahoe Creek Service District (TCSD) for nearly two hours, with no interaction from the Supervisors. Among the issues mentioned was the lack of input from the TCSD Advisory Board. The Board of Supervisors held their meeting with little acknowledgement of the citizens’ concerns. However, at the end of the meeting, Mr. Eads took the floor to scold

the citizens for their Mondaymorning quarterbacking, and flatly denied that the TCSD Advisory Board even existed. Mr. Butler sat in stony silence to this lecture, apparently agreeing to the content as he was as involved as Mr. Eads in every facet of the TCSD. As it turns out, there is indeed a TCSD Advisory Board, and it is active enough to have met recently. The Advisory Board is composed of the same interested parties who conceived the TCSD to develop property in the District, who developed West

www.goochlandgazette.com Creek Business Park with a different water system, and who developed Lower Tuckahoe with yet another water system. Any possibility of a conflict of interest there? Perhaps an incentive to isolate a problem rather than seek a united solution to the disparate water systems in our county? Bob Minnick is not a single-issue candidate, but on the TCSD issue, he is looking forward to exploring the use of the TCSD Advisory Board as a tool in developing options to solve our water and debt problem. Mr. Eads and Mr. Butler deny this tool even exists. What other options are they not sharing with us? Our choice is clear. We can elect Bob Minnick, an eager citizen who can take a fresh look at our problems using every tool in the toolbox, or we can choose to continue with the elected official who brought us this problem, ignores or denies the tools available, and carries the baggage of past decisions that did not turn out so well. As for Mr. Eads’ lecture, team owners should in fact be Monday-morning quarterbacks. When the coaches or key players aren’t making winning decisions, the owners should make changes on Monday morning. We are the team owners of Goochland County, and it’s time to put in a District 4 management team that can produce winning results. Joe Phillips Kinloch

Creasey brought issues to light Four years ago, Ned Creasey told me he was running for supervisor. Being a friend and neighbor for many years, I could not have thought of anyone who would represent the people

better than Ned. Ned always seemed, to me, to thoroughly analyze the facts and make good sound decisions based the facts at hand. Since being elected, he has listened to the people and done his best to support them. Transparency in government is desperately needed and Ned has brought that front and center. The issues the county has faced in the last four years were brought to light due to Ned’s hard work and diligence. The next four years will require more of the same. Therefore, I would like to encourage Ned to keep up the good work and encourage all of you in District 3 to continue supporting him. Carter Duke Maidens

A proven core – a vote for Ned Creasey How is a man truly tested? While on a mountain top or in a valley? When things are going well or during trials and challenges? The true litmus test is done in the valley during the trial because we see into the core of the person. The core is expressed in words, actions, and deeds. Will we see the same person under different conditions? When we squeeze an orange, we get orange juice. Does the same happen with people? Over the last six months, Ned Creasey has been battling cancer – a trial of faith and perseverance. As I have visited with Ned, he is still the same guy with the same core values. In fact, the only change has been physical - no more hair and more fatigued. This is the type of candidate to support.

Creasey is needed on BOS This letter is to encourage voters in Goochlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s District 3 to go to the polls and vote to re-elect Ned Creasey for Supervisor of their district. I have not always lived here in Goochland County, but since moving here, I have been watching, reading, and staying up to date on what has

been going on in our county. In doing so, I believe that Mr. Creasey is definitely needed on the Board of Supervisors for another four years in order to continue moving forward with truth and common sense as he earnestly works to make Goochland one of the best counties to live and work in. He is looking out for our best interest as he makes every effort possible to clean out the corruption found in our county government. I urge each of you who are so fortunate to live in his district to vote for Ned Creasey on November 8. I only wish that I lived in District 3 so I could vote for him. Matt Carrier Goochland

OPINION: Letters to the Editor ter and I have spent many a happy time boating and fishing on this river. I worry, however, about the likelihood of a major sewer failure at Benedictine and how that will affect the quality of water east of Rt.288 (their sewage treatment tank is located immediately east of the bridge). This system was built in the early 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for a very small Catholic boarding school (under 100 students) and had an expected life of 30 years. We are now at 50 plus years. In addition to housing monks and groups on retreat, Benedictine has petitioned to move their entire school from Sheppard Street to River Road and increase their student body (and faculty/staff/support services) by hundreds of people who will be using that sewage treatment plant every day, all day and into the night. Additionally, Benedictine is proposing an 1800 seat field house and has requested 4 unlimited event programs per year. There is no way that system will survive such an onslaught of flushing toilets.

Paid Political Advertisement

Who will want to use the river there and downriver? Not I. And, even more troubling, does Henrico really want to draw their drinking water from the river with that sewage floating down the river only a few miles above its intake pipe? In the past, the monks have been cited by DEQ for non-compliance with reporting requirements for the sewer treatment facility. Please call your supervisors and ask them to vote no to Benedictine and make sure our water is safe for all Virginians to enjoy for boating, fishing, and swimming. Harriett Chewning Ryefield Road

Fannie Alice Mealy Beale taught the Rev. Joseph Haden in the first through third grades at the historic Second Union Elementary School in Goochland County, a two-room affair with a potbelly stove that was part of the Rosenwald schools built to educate African-Americans during the early 20th century. “She was pleasant. She was firm. She was a great disciplinarian. She was a great motivator and builder of selfesteem,” said Haden, a Baptist minister who became an educator and taught under her at Byrd Elementary School in the county. “She helped students be all they could be and then some. She was the one that caused me to go into education. And I’m not the only one (she moti-

vated).” Haden preached her funeral Saturday, Oct. 22 at Fauquier Baptist Church on Dogtown Road in Goochland, not far from the multigenerational Mealy home where Mrs. Beale died Oct. 18 at 102. Burial was in the church cemetery. “She was a very special lady. She was no-nonsense and strictly business, but you enjoyed her and you learned,” Haden said. One of eight children, she was born to a farming family on May 23, 1909, in Goochland County. As a child, she lost her mother and was reared by her father and stepmother. “Every summer, my parents sent me down from Philadelphia to (the Mealy home) and I had a lovely time,” said a niece, Betty Ford of Goochland. “There were cows and hors-

es, pigs and chickens. I remember her stepmother canning and churning butter. They butchered their own pork.” After the seventh grade, there was no higher education for African-Americans in the county, so Mrs. Beale completed her secondary education in Richmond. She attended Virginia Union University, Columbia University and the University of Virginia to complete her elementary education training. She taught and served as a principal for 44 years — eight years in the Caroline County school system and the next 36 in the Goochland County system, retiring as principal of Byrd Elementary. She served on many boards and with many groups, from the Goochland County School Board and the GoochlandPowhatan Mental Health Advisory Board to posts as

historian of the Goochland County Recreation Center and docent of the Goochland Historical Museum Society. At Fauquier Baptist, she had served in many roles, from the trustee board to church treasurer. “She always had something to say,” Ford said. “She was quick, wanted to get it done. When I got married, I envisioned a garden wedding. She talked me into going to a justice of the peace.” Mrs. Beale was the one her siblings looked up to, Ford said, and also helped out her neighbors. She was the widow of Isaac Beale. Survivors include two sisters, Alma Johnson and Louise Gilliam, both of Philadelphia; and a brother, Judge Mealy of Goochland.

Bulldogs escape with close win over Knights, 26-24 BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

And then there was one. The Goochland varsity football team battled through the rain to come away with a gritty 26-24 win at Buckingham High School on Friday night to remain undefeated. The victory sets up a Hollywood scripted regular season finale with also undefeated Amelia. Ironically, the Friday night game almost didn’t take place. As a steady rain and cold temperatures moved into Dillwyn, the Buckingham coaching staff considered postponing Friday night’s match up with Goochland. “This weather wasn’t conducive to what we try to do and we thought about canceling it, but the kids wanted to play so bad,” said Knight coach Craig Gill. But his team endorsed his decision to play despite the rain with an opening quarter barrage that gave the Knights a 12-0 advantage before Goochland ran a play from scrimmage. Kenneth “Peanut” Johnson took the opening kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown to give the Knights an early 6-0 lead. The ensuing kickoff was fumbled by the Bulldogs and the Knights capitalized. Quarterback Tarian Ayers

scampered in from 12 yards out. Goochland answered after Dasheem Norris picked off an Ayers pass and Jake Martin rattled off 47 yards through the Knight secondary for a score. The Bulldogs took the lead shortly before halftime when Patrick Clore rambled 97 yards giving the Bulldogs a 13-12 lead at intermission. Martin and Clore added touchdowns in the third quarter on respective runs of 60 and 26 yards, and it appeared the Bulldogs had secured enough cushion to get the win. However, the Knights didn’t get the memo and mounted a furious fourth quarter comeback. The Knights drew close when Ayers scored on a one-yard run, cutting the lead to 26-18. Buckingham got its final chance when Kyree Koonce scored from six yards out with over a minute remaining in the game. The Knights were two points away from leveling the score but the Goochland defense made its final stand when Jordan Jefferson corralled Koonce for a loss on the two-point attempt. “We survived and that’s all that matters,” said Bulldog coach Joe Fowler. “It’s not how pretty you win,

Goochland cross country teams take district titles Bulldogs prepare for regional meet BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

The Goochland girls and boys cross country teams made it a clean sweep in last week’s James River District meet at Pocahontas State Park in Chester. Both teams captured district championship titles and Bulldog coach Henry Jones received Coach of the Year awards in both categories. Madison Venhuizen anchored the Goochland girls’ team and finished second with a time of 22:23.48 on what she called a fast course. “It was a good race and I had my best time of the year, so I was pleased,” she said.

Megan Robinson of Amelia came in first with a blazing 21:59.90 finish. Venhuizen and four Bulldog teammates finished in the top 15 runners to qualify for next week’s regional competition at Panorama Farms in Charlottesville. Joining Megan are her sister Morgan Venhuizen, Amberly Morris, Bridget Panas and Sydney Pence. Goochland’s Marcus Houston finished third in the boys’ race and anchored a team that edged second place Nottoway. The two rivals have traded victories this season, but the district meet results weren’t close, largely due to one of the Nottoway runners not finishing the race. “We thought it would be closer, but unfortunately, one of their runners didn’t complete the course,”

Jones said. Houston joins teammates Caleb Doody, Harry Talmage, Cary Pillow, Russell Gambino and Tucker Huffman as individual qualifiers for this week’s regionals. The coach felt the girls’ finish was not a surprise, but still represents a great accomplishment for their team. “They’ve had a great season, and it was good to see them go out and run well,” he said. Jones plans to give his team some much needed rest this week in preparation for the regionals. “We want them to be in top form for next week and they will need to be for this meet,” he said. “We’ll take a look at the district results and see what teams we see Runners >page 21

Cougars edge Saints 2-1 for OT win and top seed BY JP BEAUCHAMP Special Correspondent

There is usually a lot on the line when the field hockey teams of Collegiate and St. Catherine’s face off in their final regular season matchup and such was once again the case last Tuesday. Two seasoned coaches and two rival hockey teams faced off on the pristine artificial turf of Collegiate’s Robins Campus in the seemingly eternal battle for tournament seeding. In the end, the Cougars came up with the 2-1 extra period win and top seed for the LIS but this season, seeding may not mean much. “Winning this game gave us the number one seed for the tournament, but of course, the tournament is crazy because we’ve all beaten each other,” said Collegiate head coach Karen Doxey. “St. Catherine’s beat us; we’ve split with them; we beat Trinity once; we tied Trinity once; we beat St. Cat’s twice. So, any given day…so, it’s kind of nice to get first seed and play on our home field.” Collegiate attained the top slot on a goal that came in from the left side in the first minutes of OT. Senior sweeper Ellen Davenport put the ball in

off an assist from center back Dodi Allocca. “Dodi and Ellen are key in getting a lot of block tackles,” Doxey said. “They feed off each other. If one misses, the other one is right there to back them up.” Davenport felt her confidence grow when the contest was extended. “Coming into overtime, I knew that this was one of our strengths,” she said.

“We’ve had a lot of practice at this. We’ve gone into overtime maybe four or five times this season; so I was more excited than nervous. Seeing that pass come in from Dodi, I knew that it was that or nothing; so, I guess it came down to focusing on what was happening right then.” Getting the Cougars on the board late in the first period were Caroline Cheatham off

“The possibility is there especially with the course they will be running on,” Jones said. “At Panorama Farms, anything can happen.” The top four qualifiers in team competition earned a spot in the regionals. In addition to the Goochland boys, Nottoway, Randolph Henry and Cumberland also qualified. Girls teams headed further into the post season include Goochland, Cumberland Nottoway and Randolph Henry.

have to look out for.” Regarding the Coach of the Year honors, Jones was humble and said he was sharing the honor with his assistant. “I want to share this with Coach Bobosky because he’s there just as much as I am,” Jones said. Both coaches regularly join their team in training sessions. “They like the fact that we run with them,” Jones said. With many runners heading to regionals, the Bulldogs have BOYS their best chance to advance a Goochland 43, Nottoway 58, Randolph-Henry 82, Cumberland runner to state competition.

an assist from Austin Pruitt. The goal shot came in from close quarters center and inside the circle, smacking the backboard with the authority of Cheatham’s shot. “They do work well together,” Doxey said of Cheatham and Pruitt. “They are the two up forwards; so, that’s their job to work well together up there, and they did a nice job.”

Football continued from >page 20 mishaps and stuck to a longterm game plan to get the win. “We’ve got a lot of depth,” he said. “A lot of our kids aren’t going both ways; their kids were. We felt like if we could just stick around until the fourth quarter, they’d get tired - they didn’t. Our kids kind of stayed true to what we do and things went our way.” With a constant rain, the Bulldogs returned to their roots and depended on the run to secure the win. “Usually when people pack

But Doxey attributed the win to teamwork. “There were two great teams playing a lot of good hockey and a lot of good stick work,” she said. “We traded a lot of corners and it was just really good nice hockey. But, I think what we did well is we played as a team. The teamwork and the passing to one another, and playing hard--that’s what did it. They did a lot of the same. We just put the ball in one more than they did.” In terms of field domination, the Saints appeared to have the edge, but when it came to final execution, they came up short. “I think that [Collegiate] finished in the circle…the few chances they had,” said St. Catherine coach Don Warner. “And, while we may have had more opportunities to score, we did not finish as cleanly. I think we tripled them in corners. We might have had more shots on goal. Our shot selection needs to be more firm. Our ball speed needs to be higher; and we just need to learn how to do that.” Contributing to the Saints’ lack of execution in the circle was the stellar performance

of Cougars’ keeper Campbell Brewer who rebuffed seven shots on goal. “I think that if you outshoot someone and if you out-corner them, that’s okay,” Warner said. “Finishing in the circle; no high balls. They’ve just got a great keeper. They had to beat her. Go around her; or, go by her. A soft ball is not going to do it.” But Warner is already looking to what lies ahead. “The big fish to fry are next week,” he said. “Next week, we’ve got a great game coming up against Trinity. (Trinity has beaten the Saints twice.) Both times we’ve been in position to win and haven’t. We’ll play them at their field. We were up 2-1; and dropped at 3-2. So we take that game one at a time; and then this game.” Collegiate hosted St. Gertrude in the LIS semifinals on November 1 while St. Catherine’s played Trinity.

the box on us we are able to throw the ball, but tonight we couldn’t due to the weather,” Fowler said. “That’s not an excuse because Tarian Ayers threw the ball pretty dag gone well in this weather.” Gill felt his team gave all that it could and he was impressed with their intensity and effort. “I’m so proud of the way the guys hung in there and played,” Gill said. “We had a great week preparing for Goochland. On a dry field, we could have thrown a little better.” The two teams could meet again in post season; a possibility that pleases the Knights coach. “We hope we get to see

them again,” he said. Buckingham closes its season with Blue Stone next week while Goochland plays for the JRD championship at home against undefeated Amelia. Fowler said his team would be ready for the challenge. “We didn’t play well tonight, but we will play better next week.”
