The Goochland County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on June 1 to fund a new position in the Goochland Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, a role that will be focused primarily on reviewing body camera footage recorded by local law enforcement officers. According to Goochland Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael Caudill, the position is one that is now required by law. Caudill told supervisors that he was notified in 2019 that his office would be required to hire a full time entry-level Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney dedicated almost exclusively to body camera footage. Caudill told board members that he and Deputy County Attorney Ashley Thompson had watched over 593 hours of body camera tape last year, an activity he noted was time-consuming but also critical for maintaining “competence, integrity, transparency and ethics,” and protecting both citizens and law enforcement officers. Caudill also noted that, while he and Thompson have been able to keep up with the

Members of the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office gathered recently to send their best wishes and congratulations to the graduating class of 2021. Pictured, from the left, are Deputy Joseph Cook, Deputy Scott Leabough, Sheriff Steven N. Creasey, and Sergeant Ryan Leabough.

Attorney continued from >1 amount of footage in the past — the two are only required to view footage related to certain infractions that carry potential jail time and not minor offenses like traffic stops — a post-pandemic spike in crime could mean a significantly increased amount of body camera footage. In addition, the seven new deputies the county will soon have on board will also mean seven new cameras recording. Add to that the fact that Caudill and Thompson are

required to watch the footage from the camera of each officer who responds to a particular call, and the hours could quickly pile up. While the state provides funding for the mandated position once localities reach a certain number of cameras to be reviewed, Caudill said Goochland is currently nowhere near that number. Therefore, the County will need to fund the position from its own coffers. Applicants for the job, which is being advertised with a starting salary of $65K per year, must have graduated

from law school and passed the Bar exam. Once hired they will likely spend at least some of their time in the courtroom, Caudill said, and will also review jail call and social media information. “You won’t believe how much evidence we can get from someone’s social media account,” Caudill said. According to Deputy County Administrator for Finance and Administrative Services Barbara Horlacher, funding for the position will come in part from public service corporation taxes.

Just a few days later, DeLoach approached the microphone to address his fellow classmates, helping closure to a senior year that had brought many challenges but also plenty of good memories that DeLoach will be taking with him when he heads to the University of Virginia this fall.

the most difficult aspect of the past year — but students soon learned to adapt. For Emma Densley, who gathered in the Goochland High School gymnasium on Monday night long with the other members of her graduating class prior to their graduation ceremony, senior year was certainly a departure from what she had been expecting when she began her high school journey four years ago. Though she’d managed to

take the challenges in stride, “it didn’t really feel like school,” said Densley, who, like so many of her classmates, said she missed being able to see her teachers. Having chosen to do all of her classes virtually, Densley said she eventually found ways to keep herself on track. Now she and her fellow graduates will take the resilience they developed over the past year and head out into the world. While some will continue to work and figure out

Robot wars: While DeLoach, who graduated with a 4.7 GPA, participated in other activities such as Scholastic Bowl, his favorite extracurricular activity was being part of the GHS Robotics Team, the Junkyard Dogs. Over the course of his time at GHS, DeLoach said proudly, the team “went from one of the worst teams in the area to one of the best.”

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor

Since 1955

Dear grads: Someday you will thank your critics By Roslyn Ryan Editor

If you happen to follow tennis — or just professional sports in general — you almost certainly took note of the hullaballoo that erupted two weeks ago over topranked female tennis player Naomi Osaka’s decision to withdraw from the French Open tournament after refusing to participate in the tourmandated press conferences that traditionally follow each match. What followed was a predictable wailing and gnashing of teeth from both Osaka’s supporters and her detractors, the former championing the young athlete for taking a stand and the latter labeling her choice as unprofessional and even,

in the words of one noted media personality, “bratty.” Given that Osaka revealed that she had ultimately made the decision to withdraw from the tournament in order to protect her mental health, it seems somewhat unsporting to question that motive. Mental health has thankfully become more of a consideration these days than ever before, particularly as more and more research provides irrefutable evidence of its tremendous impact on our physical health. From the classroom to the workplace, addressing mental health issues is now seen as a critical part of providing a safe and productive atmosphere in which to both learn and work.

No, Osaka had every right to do what she did. And yet there was one tiny part of the statement she issued — via Instagram, of course — that I must admit gave me pause. Osaka said in her statement that she was no longer going to subject herself to those who doubt her, and therefor was not going to answer questions from journalists. To this, I can only offer one word of rebuttal: Wrong. I say “wrong” because, while it is certainly everyone’s right to avoid critics, I feel fairly certain after having lived a number of years on this planet that it is a terrible idea. In fact, it might be the surest possible way to ensure a life of mediocrity and underperformance, of settling for average when great-

ness could have been achieved. I have heard more than once from high school students over the years about teachers who were too demanding or coaches that got on them for not performing as well as they should have. And I always say the same thing: You will thank them someday. In fact, as the Class of 2021 prepares to head out into the wide, wonderful world that awaits them, I would offer them this one single piece of advice: Always seek criticism. Learn to accept it, learn to grown from it, and learn not to let it knock you down. Let it make you work harder, be better and go further. And then, after all of that, simply leave the doubters in your dust.

Knowing CPR could make a life-changing difference By Laura McFarland Contributing Editor

There is no experience quite like listening to a 911 call recording. Listening to the caller’s pain, terror, and helplessness as they cry out for help for themselves or someone else hits you in the gut like you wouldn’t believe. I have complete respect for Powhatan’s public safety communications offi-

cers for the work they do handling that barrage of emotion and doing their best to get those people aid. In the almost seven years I have worked as a newspaper editor I have not listened to an endless number of 911 recordings, but I’ve heard a few. They were generally tied to a criminal case or a life-saving achievement, and every single one of them had a powerful impact on me. In recent years, I have seen two

groups of citizens recognized for coming to the aid of men who had collapsed in cardiac arrest. One was a man who slumped over in his vehicle in his driveway, was dragged out by his distraught wife, and spotted by some workers passing by who came and started CPR. The other incident involved a seemingly healthy man out for a bike ride collapsing from a heart attack. Strangers passing by came to his rescue and administered

CPR until the first public safety crews arrived. I thought about two of those calls in particular recently when I was pressing down on the chest of a CPR dummy, wondering if I was doing it correctly – wondering if I could do it to save a life if the situation called for it.

Song of cicadas will ring out again By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

It’s easy to forget their searing song of summer. You hear it for a couple of months in the summer and then it’s gone for 17 years. To some, it’s an irritating buzz that can disturb the most serene of circumstances, but, for others, the sound of cicadas on a summer evening is more akin to a serenade that evokes a sense of calm and belonging. The summer of 2004 was filled with anticipation and hope as my family welcomed a new addition to our family and learned that blessings do arrive in pairs. My then-youngest daughter and I spent our days together that summer as we awaited the arrival of the twins and most days you could find us in the backyard enjoying the rope swing or taking a dip in an inflatable pool. When she asked about the small encrusted remains of largesized bug carcasses that adorned most of the trees in our yard, I explained the patient and cyclical journey of the cicada. “We call them crunch bugs,” I told her. “That’s what your sister and I called them the last time they came around.” I explained to her that 17 years earlier, her older sister and I had the same conversation on the same swing set on an evening very similar to the one we were enjoying. I spent many of those evenings of that eventful summer sitting on a small deck beside my house, listening to a chorus of the soprano-pitched bugs. Eventually, the sound became see Cicadas > page 7

batch of cicadas auditioned? As this new batch of cicadas make their much-anticipated return, life has changed; and that youngest daughter is now a senior in high school, ready to embark on her journey on an exciting and wonderful path and the wonders that await. The twins await their turn to walk across the aisle and claim their diplomas next year. I’m sure there are families who are making their first memories as the stirring sounds of summer make a

return visit for an encore performance. Perhaps a young father in another backyard is explaining to his daughter the marvel and magic of nature’s secrets and the preciseness of its unwavering alarm clock. And who knows what momentous or significant events these tiny insects have witnessed in past visits, or how humans have memorialized those occurrences . . . or what future soundtracks they will provide for future generations. But their return certainly

affirms that — despite the best efforts of man — the cycle of nature and life itself continues, and reminds us that some of life’s awaiting miracles are predictable. Like Old Faithful, the re-emergence of the cicadas reassures us that the master plan somehow still works. And I might be alone in my reverence for what many call annoying bugs, but hearing them brings back memories of my children and special moments that should be remembered, a song of summer to be cherished.

tions of choking, and more. It was an informative three-hour class. But out of all of that information, you know what piece of information stuck out to me the most? When Babcock told us that nationally, only 10% of people survive cardiac arrests out of the hospital, and that number goes down to 7% in rural areas. Facing seemingly insurmountable odds like that, why would we try? Because if your loved one was one of the seven out of 100 cardiac arrest victims, wouldn’t you want someone to do everything they

could to help them survive? But just to be clear, while I am advocating that people offer assistance, I also am advocating that people try to get the training to be the most help possible. According to an article on the American Heart Association’s website, “CPR is inherently inefficient; it provides only 10% to 30% of normal blood flow to the heart and 30% to 40% of normal blood flow to the brain even when delivered according to guidelines. This inefficiency highlights the need for trained rescuers to deliver the highest-

quality CPR possible.” Then it said something that really hit home: “Poor-quality CPR should be considered a preventable harm.” While there may be resources nearby to teach CPR to the general public, I do not yet know about them. However, if you visit https:// cpr.heart.org/en/resources, the American Heart Association has plenty of reading materials and ways to find CPR classes within a reasonable driving distance.

Goochland wins regional singles, doubles titles Webb, Bernstine win Region 3B doubles championship By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

Breaking through for their first state tournament appearance on the doubles court together, senior Adam Webb and sophomore Evan Bernstine powered through three matches and played in two different counties in one day to win their first Class 3, Region B boys tennis doubles championship. “It really meant a lot, because I was looking forward to playing with Evan last year,” Webb said. “I think we could’ve held our own last year, but definitely, since this is my senior year, it was good to get that final year in, and especially with a title.” This year marked the first time that Bernstine and Webb got to play a full varsity tennis season together after COVID-19 wiped out the 2020 campaign. This year also marked Bernstine’s first time winning the regional title in singles. “There’s no doubt that Evan’s probably one of the best kids in the state, especially in (Class 3), and getting to play with him is really

fun, and it’s an honor,” Webb said. “When controlling the court, he does a really good job, and I have to hold my own at certain points, but he’s really talented, does a lot to help us win, so it’s really fun playing with him.” Bernstine and Webb’s strengths throughout Friday’s regional tournament were on full display in their championship match against brothers Abhinav and Bhuvan Maddi from Lightridge. Webb’s groundstrokes stayed low, steady and consistent, keeping rallies alive and forcing mistakes. Bernstine’s powerful returns from the baseline also led to his opponents hitting the ball away, and he racked up several points on his fiery first serve. Both players in the match also won points on hard-hitting overhead volleys and hustled to cover big shots from their opponents, including overheads. “Evan’s a lot stronger than I am by far, so anytime he can hit the ball, we want him to,” Webb said while adding: “I can definitely hold my own, and I think that had a big play on helping us win, because if I

can’t get the ball back to him when returning, then he has no chance to finish the point. I think it’s a combination of me being able to hang in there with the stronger guys and the matter of him being so talented to finish the points to help give us the win.” Communication throughout the day was also key, as, during many points, Bernstine would communicate whether he had the ball, or if it was Webb’s shot to take. “The more we play with each other, the better that communication gets,” Webb added. “It’s only going to get better from here.” In the championship match, Webb and Bernstine led the first set 5-1, but the Maddi brothers won back-to-back games and served for a third, attempting to tighten the Goochland duo’s lead to 5-4. Abhinav and Bhuvan even reached advantage point, but they ultimately hit the ball into the net off of Bernstine’s drop shot on that point, resetting the game at deuce. Goochland gained the advan-

Bernstine sweeps opponents for regional singles championship By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

GOOCHLAND -- Last year, Evan Bernstine missed out on what would have been his first season on the varsity tennis courts due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. But across this past year, his commitment to the game - and to improving his play - remained a daily one. Day after day, the sophomore and younger brother of state champions and current Virginia Tech players Chase and Ryan Bernstine worked with the ball machine, focused on getting in reps, hit the ball with his brothers when they were home for the summer and played with his dad, Mark Bernstine.

Evan spoke to “really enjoying the process of getting better as a player and a person.” That enjoyment, commitment and hard work - combined with his experience from having played since he was 6 years old - led to Evan picking up his first varsity title to date. In his first full high school season, the sophomore swept both of his regional tournament opponents on Tuesday to win the Class 3, Region B boys tennis singles championship. Bernstine never lost a game in Tuesday’s tournament. He won 6-0, 6-0 over both Independence’s Srey Sola in the semifinal round and Lightridge’s Abhinav Maddi in the championship match. The regional final marked the only time in the tournament that

Bernstine’s opponent reached a score of 40 in a given game. In that particular instance, the fifth game of the second set, Bernstine - through a combination of Maddi landing a strong shot that Bernstine hit out, a double-fault and a return into the net, Bernstine for the only time in the day fell behind 40-0. And then he won four straight points to get back the advantage. His second point in the game saw Bernstine and Maddi trade strong groundstrokes in a long rally, through which Bernstine persevered. After a return shot into the net led to the second of only two deuce points that Bernstine played all tour-

Boys soccer unit earns unbeaten regular season By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

In state title-winning coach Marshall Lindner’s first year at the helm of Goochland’s young varsity boys soccer program, the Bulldogs assembled an unbeaten 10-0 regular season after routing Nottoway 9-1 last Wednesday. Senior Charlie Flammia tallied up 4 goals in the win over Nottoway, while Connor Doersch, Jayme Roblero, River Green and senior Caleb Moyer each had 1. Goochland’s total score was elevated to 9 on one own goal. In the week prior, Goochland shut out both Bluestone 5-0 and Prince Edward 8-0. Doersch and Flammia each scored 2 goals and Moyer had 1 against Bluestone. Doersch racked up 5 goals in the win over the Eagles, Yoshi Da Silva netted 2 and Flammia had 1. Goochland goalie Braeden McKeown earned four shutouts in the 2021 regular stretch. Wednesday’s win marked the

final regular-season home game for Goochland High School seniors Charlie Flammia and Caleb Moyer. To Lindner, who is in his 49th year of being a head coach of a high school soccer team, both Flammia and Moyer are “real good players by any high school standard that I can think of.”

They’ve provided leadership on both sides of the field, with Flammia orchestrating the offense and Moyer anchoring the defense. They also set a very positive tone in practice, Lindner said, and they brought the best out of their teammates. “They both were very, very

important to us,” Lindner said. Multiple young contributors, including six sophomores and two freshmen, have stepped up to positively impact Goochland’s team, and as the season’s progressed, more players, Lindner added, are being involved in the play.

“The thing that I felt best about is to watch them pass the ball on the field,” Lindner said. “A lot of players got a lot of touches on the ball. As a coach, it was a very gratifying season to watch the kids develop as a unit.” Goochland will host the first round of the Class 3, Region B tournament on Monday, June 14 at 6 p.m. One of the things that Lindner really wants is for his players to look back - maybe 20, 30 years from now - and say: “The years I played at Goochland soccer, they were good times; that was a good chapter in my life.” That’s something that Lindner can attest to - he celebrated his 72nd birthday on Sunday, and some of his best relationships, he said, are with the people he played high school baseball and soccer with. “If you can look back and say, ‘Hey, 2021, we had an undefeated regular season,’ that’s something you feel good about,” Lindner said. “Hopefully it’s one of those things where kids can look back and say, ‘Boy, that was a nice time in my life.’”

Goochland girls soccer routs Eagles on Senior Night By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

GOOCHLAND -- At halftime in last Tuesday’s game, Goochland’s girls soccer team not only honored the efforts of its four current seniors, but it also celebrated the contributions of its Class of 2020 players who didn’t get to play their senior season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. When the second half commenced, the Bulldogs turned up the heat, pouring in 5 goals and ending the game with a 7-0 triumph over James River District rival Prince Edward. “All the seniors got some good play if not goals, and lots of smiles all around, and really the whole night was just to reward them and acknowledge them and honor them in addi-

tion to our seniors from the previous year who were not able to take part in a Senior Night,” said head coach Paul Manno. The Bulldogs first recognized their Class of 2020 contributors: Victoria Lopez, who last year had returned to Goochland High School for her senior year, helped Goochland girls basketball win the 2020 James River District Championship and would have played on the soccer team as a senior; Julissa Gallegos, who is continuing both her academic and soccer careers at Marymount University, and who made Second Team AllState at the end of the Bulldogs’ 12-6 run in 2019; and Claire Anderson, who played and started at defender in all four years of her varsity career, and who along with Gallegos helped

the Bulldogs reach the 2019 regional semifinals. “I really felt badly for last year’s seniors who didn’t get their full year - we did acknowledge them at a team event after the season was cancelled last year - but I still wanted an opportunity for those girls to step on the field one more time, have their parents come out, fans and family and friends come out and acknowledge them,” Manno said. And of the four current seniors, he added that they “have been a big part of our success over the last four years and are really all true leaders.” Caroline Black, Cate Hinckley, Aubrie Hixon and Gabby Ragone all contributed to Tuesday night’s win. Hinckley also scored the first goal in the Bulldogs’ 5-goal run

in the second half and added an assist. “Each group of seniors seems to have a different personality, and this year’s personality, (they) are kind of quiet leaders,” Manno said. “They lead by example, and it’s not just a cliché - they really do lead by example. I love having them. They’re going to be sorely missed when they move on, but it was really nice to acknowledge them tonight and honor them tonight.” Scoring 2 goals each for Goochland in last Tuesday’s win over Prince Edward were Erla Thorkelsdottir, Ella Kamencik and Allie Joyner. Nadia Esposito and Bridget Dinora each contributed two assists, and Kamencik and Joyner each had one. In Goochland’s previous

Bulldogs blank Cumberland 16-0 on Senior Night By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

GOOCHLAND -- Smiles were plentiful both on and off the field as the Goochland Bulldogs not only celebrated the contributions and efforts of their eight seniors, but also bounced back from the previous Thursday’s setback to Buckingham with a resounding 16-0, five-inning victory over Cumberland last Tuesday. The seniors also heavily contributed to the victory. “Our seniors were excited - in front of a big home crowd, we had a lot of people come tonight, so it was good that we got that momentum early. It’s one of those games you don’t want to show up flat to, so we got three-up,

Doubles continued from >8 tage off of another return by Bernstine, and Webb on the next point delivered a quick block that Lightridge’s duo returned high and out, securing both the game and the 6-3 set for the Bulldogs. Goochland jumped out to a 4-1 second-set lead before heavy rains rolled in, forcing the doubles finals to move half-an-hour’s drive from Goochland High School’s tennis courts to Salisbury Country Club in Midlothian. “It was really unique; we almost never change locations during the middle of a match, so to have that happen in the

Singles continued from >8 nament, Bernstine returned a same-direction shot to get back the advantage point, then put away the fifth game when he mixed in a floater of a shot, and his opponent hit it into the net.

He’s running full-speed and has to slide - otherwise, you run straight in the dugout and he would’ve done it, too. He’s the kind of kid that would run into the dugout for a ball like that. He made a great play there...he’s the kind of guy who’s like: This play’s going to be mine, and I’m not going to drop it, whether it’s my bare hand or my glove.” Also contributing were Riley Hite (1 for 2, 2 RBI, 1 run) and Eli Umberger (1 for 1). Two days later, Goochland battled hard in a 4-3 setback to Randolph-Henry. White hit an RBI triple and added a run scored. Stratton added an RBI single and a run scored. Doczi hit an RBI single and Hite batted 2 for 3 and scored a run.

3 RBI, a run and two doubles. Nuckols batted 2 for 2 with 2 runs and a double. He also allowed two hits, one walk and no runs and struck out four for the win on the mound in three innings pitched and 45 pitches total. Ragone batted 2

for 3 with 4 RBI, 2 runs and a double. Doczi batted 2 for 4 with an RBI and a run scored. Jones had a hit and an RBI and scored 2 runs. Vincent had a hit and scored a run. Stratton, Goochland’s leadoff hitter, batted 2 for 3 and

scored 3 runs. In addition, he pitched the final two innings and combined with Nuckols for the 2-hitter as he only let one Cumberland player on base on a walk. Stratton struck out three and made sure that the Dukes stayed off of home plate in 25 pitches. The senior also made a gem of a play for an out when, in a flash, he: ran down a popup fly east of the first base line and near the dugout; handled the ball with his bare hand; and clasped it against his glove as he slid across the ground. The ball never left his grasp on the slide. “As soon as it came off the bat, you knew he was going to make an effort at it - no doubt about it,” Farkas said. “But not many guys make that play.

regional finals was something else; it was really crazy,” Webb said. “I liked playing indoors though; although the match was short, once we got there, it was a lot of fun getting to go to a different location that a lot of the high school kids usually haven’t been to, so it was really neat for the finals.” The move ultimately didn’t affect Bernstine and Webb’s momentum. They won the next two games to take the second set 6-1 and secure their trip to Blacksburg. “We did have to adjust a little bit; we were almost finished with the match...we were definitely in the groove, we were hitting good shots, so to be stopped right in the

middle, we sort of had to slow down our game; when we got back into it, we had to warm up again and get in that groove again,” Webb said. “But luckily we did finish out strong and we continued our streak,” he added, “but that definitely could’ve been a big factor because we could’ve played completely different once we moved the match.” The Bulldogs faced adversity earlier in the day in their first round of regionals when they trailed 2-0 behind Maggie Walker freshman players Ethan Choe and Alex Percey, who immediately opened with powerful returns. But Goochland’s volleys at the net picked up, and after

Webb saw his opponents hit out his second serve for the Bulldogs’ first game win of the day, Bernstine and Webb never let off the gas for the rest of the set. ‘They swept the next five games to win the set at 6-2 as Bernstine’s well-placed strikes at the net and Webb’s groundstrokes kept the Green Dragons off-balance. Maggie Walker briefly seized back momentum in the second set when the duo led 2-1, but Goochland rallied once again. With Webb serving, the Bulldogs took a 4-3 lead when Maggie Walker hit out one of Bernstine’s overheads. A volley from Webb for game point helped ensure a

5-3 insurance advantage. The Bulldogs swept the ninth game for a 6-3 set result and the first-round match on straight points. In the regional semifinals, Bernstine and Webb routed Brentsville District’s Kylan and Bryson Cheney 6-0, 6-2. The Goochland duo’s groundstrokes and a wellplaced winner by Bernstine down the left side secured the sixth and final game of the first set. The Bulldogs also overcame an early 2-1 deficit in the second set, flipping into a 3-2 lead before breaking the Tigers’ serve on an overhead volley winner from Bernstine that landed in shallow court

and finished off steady groundstroke returns from Webb. Another overhead slam from Bernstine in the eighth game of the set put the exclamation mark on the semifinal match for Goochland. The duo will play in the Class 3 state doubles semifinals on Thursday at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg at 3 p.m. The doubles state final will be held Friday at 12 noon. “When we go to states, whether we win or lose in the state semifinals or finals, it’s going to be a great experience either way,” Webb said. “It’s been a great experience all around. I’m really happy about how this year’s turned out.”

Bernstine was extremely sharp throughout the entire day when it came to mixing up his shots. That included the incorporation of drop shots, notably one on a volley to win the first set of the championship round. He also saw several of those shots land in the opponent’s shallow court

as winners. He noted that he’ll throw in the drop shot whenever he’s not feeling consistent from the baseline - “just throw in some variety, get my opponent moving a little bit, draw him to the net maybe.” Bernstine’s power was also on display, as he was able to deliver high-velocity winners,

including a laser of a shot to go-ahead 30-15 in the final game of the championship match. He was able to cover the edge well against Maddi’s powerful shots in the final, and he also had two big reads against Sola in the semifinals when, twice, he hit a drop

shot, then hit his opponent’s return shots over Sola’s head on two high-arching strikes that landed just inside the court near the baseline. His opponent was not able to keep either return in play. Bernstine only lost one point in the first set of his semifinal match, with Sola get-

ting the point while serving. All 12 of Bernstine’s points while serving in that first set were won on first serves. Bernstine will play in the Class 3 state singles semifinals on Friday at Virginia Tech at 9 a.m. The singles state final will be held Saturday at 9 a.m.

three-down defensively right away, and then we put four on the board right away,” said Goochland head coach Wes Farkas. “Momentum-wise, that’s exactly what we needed to get done, and it carried over to the rest of the game I think.” After going up 4-0, the Bulldogs secured a double-digit lead with a whopping 10 runs in the second inning. They added their last 2 in the third. All eight of Goochland’s seniors who were honored Tuesday night - Will Stratton, Chris White, Greyson Ragone, Ayden Doczi, Travis Lestyk, Andrew Jones, Mason Nuckols and Corey Vincent - had at least a hit and a run scored. White batted 4 for 4 with 4 RBI, 3 runs and three doubles. Lestyk batted 2 for 4 with
