Runner honoring coach who suffered brain injury

By Roslyn Ryan Editor

Back in 2014, when Carolyn McKann decided to run her first marathon in honor of her late daughter Katie Anderson, coach Chuck Smith was the one who helped her believe she would cross the finish line.

Now, eight years later, McKann and others are rallying to support Smith in the wake of

a traumatic brain injury that has upended his life.

McKann and Smith first met just a few months after McKann had lost Katie to a particularly aggressive form of leukemia. Hoping to channel her grief toward helping to find a cure, McKann joined the fundraising runners group called Team in Training. As a coach with the program, which raises funds to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, Smith

helped McKann prepare for the 2014 Athens Marathon, which she completed. Since then, McKann has gone on to run nearly a dozen marathons both here and abroad, including those in Athens, Greece and Dublin, Ireland.

Closer to home, she has taken part in the New York and Chicago marathons, and the Shamrock Marathon in Virginia Beach.

Hobbs earns recognition for her role in vaccine effort

By Roslyn Ryan Editor

Since the onset of the COVD-19 pandemic, Goochland resident Wendy Hobbs has worked tirelessly to help ensure that as many community members as possible could receive a vaccination.

Last week, in recognition of her efforts, she was presented with the Immunize Virginia organization’s annual award for Outstanding

Fire-Rescue show planned for Oct. 8

A Fire-Rescue show is planned for Saturday, Oct. 8, starting at 6 p.m. at Goochland High School in the back parking lot. Goochland Fire-Rescue will host an evening of fire and EMS demonstrations for adults and children that will also kick off Fire Prevention Week. A small fireworks show is planned for the end of the evening. This event will offer the opportunity to promote community risk reduction, while showcasing the department. Local fire officials hope residents will consider coming out and spending an evening with their local firefighters and EMS providers.

Contributions to Immunization Advocacy. Hobbs was nominated by her colleagues for the honor, which recognizes local community leaders’ contributions to immunization advocacy and community engagement in the state of Virginia.

ImmunizeVA, a statewide coalition of immunization stakeholders representing medical, public health, and nonprofit professionals, announced the awards at the group’s annual meeting on Sept. 23 at the Cultural Arts Center in Glen Allen.

Hobbs, who serves as the current president of the Goochland NAACP, said she was humbled by the recognition and glad to have been a part of an effort that has now seen nearly 85.5% of the county receive at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine.

The goal from the beginning, Hobbs said, was to help

maintain “a healthy community where people feel safe.” To that end, Hobbs spent the early days of the pandemic working closely with the Chickahominy Health District to help make sure that African American residents had access to vaccines, but also to help combat any fears of misinformation surrounding the vaccination efforts.

Working with local community leaders, ministers and health educators, Hobbs spent countless hours working to help residents navigate vaccination waiting lists and understand the benefits of receiving the COVID-19 vaccine. She answered hundreds of phone calls, coordinated town hall meetings and urged those who still had concerns about vaccination risks to reach out to their doctors.

These days Hobbs is still working closely with the Health District and still fielding calls from residents who have not yet been vaccinated and want to find more information.

Knowing that Smith isn’t able to help her and her teammates prepare for their upcoming events has been painful, McKann says, but they have also committed themselves to supporting their coach in any way they can. The Richmond Team in Training group has now created a group called “Chuck’s Champions” to honor Smith as they take on the upcoming Richmond Marathon in November.

“We are honoring our coach to recognize his dedication, infectious enthusiasm, and overall commitment to make cancer a thing of the past,” McKann said last week.

“Chuck often told us that even though he could qualify for Boston, he much preferred

coaching to racing, because his dream was to sit on the porch with his sweet granddaughter and tell her a story about this horrible disease called cancer that affected so many people, and that he had a part in wiping it out.”

McKann encourages those who are running the Richmond Marathon, Half Marathon or 8K, to join Chuck’s Champions by e-mailing tntchuckschampions@gmail.com.

The link for Chuck’s Champions fundraising page is https://pages.lls.org/tnt/va/ yourway23/chuckschampions.

“Chuck was called to do this work, and he has helped me train for every single marathon since Katie’s death,” McKann said. “He is driven to help everyone to the finish line and he does it with joy and a smile on his face.”

Goochland History Revealed

Home has link to Portuguese revolution

Monterey was built by Francisco Xavier Monteiro, Count de Barros, who was minister of finance to Portuguese King John VI. The Count was forced to flee his native country because of his role in a short-lived revolution against the monarchy. Monteiro, his wife Angela Emilia Cartwright, and their six children, fled Lisbon by night and made their way to a ship bound for England. In 1824, the Monteiros arrived in New York. They then moved to Goochland County, where they purchased 500 acres of land and built their home. The last member of the family to live in Monterey was Helen Reeve Xavier Monteiro. Helen, who graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1930, was an English teacher and librarian at Goochland High School. She died in 2002 at the age of 95 and is buried at Byrd Presbyterian Church Cemetery.

GHS earns national recognition for inclusivity from Special Olympics

Selection was also based on advocacy, respect

Contributed report Special Olympics Virginia has announced that Goochland High School, a Special Olympics Unified Champion School, will receive national banner recognition for its efforts to provide inclusive sports and activities for students with and without disabilities.

Goochland High School is receiving this recognition because the school meets national standards of excellence in inclusion, advocacy and respect. It is among a select number of schools to receive this distinction.

“Earning the designation of a Special Olympics Unified Champion National Banner School symbolizes our commitment to ensuring inclusive opportunities for students with disabilities both on the field—through practices and games—and off the field— through student leadership and whole-school engagement,” said Jennifer Waggener, Goochland County Public Schools’ Executive Director of Exceptional Education.

The Special Olympics Unified Champion Schools initiative intentionally promotes meaningful social inclusion by bringing together students with and without intellectual disabilities to create accepting school environments, utilizing three

Relay event benefits Goochland CASA

By Emily Walls Ray Contributing Writer

The sun shone on grassy fields overlooking the James River at the Williamsburg finale of the Malay Series Colonial 200 Relay Series on Saturday, Sept. 24. The event was sponsored by Goochland CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), and participants from as far away as Nebraska crossed the finish line. The 200-mile relay benefitting the Goochland nonprofit began Friday, Sept. 23, in Charlottesville, with more than 30 teams taking part in the 36-leg event.

On hand to welcome teams as they finished the race was Goochland CASA director Renae Townsend.

“We’re happy to be part of the Malak series,” said Townsend. Brian Malak, coordinator of the races throughout the South, enjoys the partnership as well.

“The best part of coordinating events like the race is the camaraderie,” he said. Why do teams pass the baton over this

many miles? The reasons vary as much as the racers. Some simply enjoy running over hills and dales, while others participate to do something to benefit worthy causes while hanging out with friends.

“We like to do things as a group,” said captain Laura Luevano, of her team from Charlottesville. The psychologist employed by the Virginia Alliance of Virginia said, “It’s a big adventure,” adding that team members get to know each other well as they travel to the start lines via vans. Luevano said her team, mostly of Charlottesville, chooses two races a year to run. “It’s also nice to support a worthy cause such as Goochland CASA,” Luevano said.

Another team, the Rush Puppies, composed of members from Nebraska, Arizona, North Carolina and Virginia, is an extended family who incorporated the relay into family events en route. “We hadn’t been together as a family for a while and we wanted to do something unique after the limitations of the pandemic,” said team captain Adam Benson. Their ages spanned

from 65 to 4 years old. “It made this family outing more meaningful because we got to bring the kids along.”

Two young women from the Washington, D.C. area also ran in support of the Rush Puppies team. One is employed at the White House and another is a veteran of the U.S. Air Force. “Esprit de corps is a primary motivation for giving a couple of days and a lot of miles to support a worthy cause,” said Eva Knight.

“This helps make memories and builds our team,” added Julie Lee. “We are all friends, happy to be together in Jamestown.” The team consisted of active duty members and veterans of the Army, Air Force, Navy, and Marines.

Challenges of running the race include maintaining a large enough number of team members to run the 200 miles over a span of 36 hours. Last minute drop outs, scheduling conflicts and the challenge of weather affects participation. Smaller teams bear

Newspapers continue to serve our communities

By Roslyn Ryan Editor

As we prepare to celebrate National Newspaper Week (Oct. 2-8), we here at the Goochland Gazette would like to take a moment to thank you, our readers, and to reaffirm our commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity, honesty and fairness in our coverage.

We would also like to underscore the fact that community journalism has always been, and very much remains, a collaborative art: Every time you pick up the phone to call us, send us a note or dash off an e-mail, you are helping to improve our coverage and sharpen

our focus on what truly matters to the residents of Goochland County.

Few people understand that newspapers are not perfect better than the people who put them together. But the fact is that newspapers remain invaluable precisely because they are put together not by robots but by humans, people who are passionate about preserving the role of a free press and all the benefits that come with it.

Many of my heroes have been reporters, particularly those who can draw a reader in and tell a story from an unexpected angle, leaving behind a changed mind or heart. One brief example: Like millions of other people who were left horrified in 2008 after a sharp uptick

in the number of children dying after being left in hot cars, I felt little sympathy for the parents who could possibly do something so careless. After reading Gene Weingarten’s searing Washington Post article on the subject—for which he would go on to with the Pulitzer Prize—my heart broke for them.

Newspapers for centuries have reflected our world back to us and helped us observe history as it unfolded. They have recorded our best and worst deeds, our births, deaths and all the moments in between, both mundane and monumental.

Newspapers shine a light into dark corners, demand answers to uncomfortable questions and

ensure that those who might otherwise be able to operate with little oversight are held accountable.

“Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government,” said no less a man than Thomas Jefferson, “I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

As we take time to celebrate the role of newspapers next week, we’d like to thank our readers for continuing to value journalism and support the goal of providing accurate, unbiased information to the community.

We look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Letter to the Editor

Call Me MISTER program creating positive impact, offering much-needed hope

Dear Editor,

I just finished watching the Richmond morning news where another innocent child had been murdered by senseless gun violence on the streets of Richmond. Soon, the mother came on the screen sharing her outrage and anguish over the killing of one of her children; who was simply walking to the store. As I closed the TV it occurred to me that I had no good

answers to stem this tide of awful violence.

As I picked up the Goochland Gazette my eye was drawn to the front-page article about a teacher in the Goochland School System who was aided by a program at Longwood University entitled Call Me MISTER (Men Instructing Students Toward Effective Role Models).

Longwood uses Call Me MISTER to prepare young men for impactful careers as elementary, middle or high school teachers. They are provided resources and support that moves them toward successfully securing positions in

Honoring National Recovery Month by changing the word

By Christina Amano Dolan Mechanicsville Local Editor

Addiction is an ugly word.

At least, that’s what I grew up believing in a country still haunted by the “war on drugs” campaign or, most evidently, the opioid epidemic that continues to rampage through countless American households every year.

classrooms where they will positively impact the lives of their students. The mission of Call Me MISTER is to increase the representation of males of color in Virginia’s teaching force.

Spurred on by the article I did some research and concluded this was a great idea and worthy of support. The Longwood web site has a section devoted to their Call Me MISTER program. I ended up making a small donation to support an endowment for students in the program. If you are interested here is the link,

Yes, in school we were taught to “just say no,” echoing Nancy Reagan’s 1980s campaign that, at first glance, seemed like a harmless and simple message. But as I’ve grown older and have encountered the word “addiction” in the lives of those close to me, it has become apparent how detrimental this simplistic message can be to how we view those affected by it. Rather than viewing addiction as a psychological disorder, it invites the implication that avoiding addiction is as easy as “just saying no,” and that those who suffer from it are grouped together into a single stereotype of being irresponsible.

Surely many of us can agree that the word “addiction” invites echoes of these harmful implications, but it is not our fault. This is what our society has been afflicted by for countless years, and it was a viewpoint that was reinforced throughout our childhood education. It is a word that was whispered or hidden. It was a word that many who suffer from it, and even their families, refuse to accept. It is a word that has invited shame, guilt and an overwhelming feeling of isolation to those entangled in its ferocity.

But there is a growing move-

GCPS announces all five schools in division remain fully accredited

Contributed report

As one of only 10 school divisions in Virginia that have maintained 100% accreditation for more than 10 years, Goochland County Public Schools (GCPS) has announced that all five schools in the division have once again met the state’s accreditation standards.

In 2017, VDOE revised its accreditation standards to measure performance on multiple school-quality indicators, not

ment across the nation that is fighting to change the word. Rather than whispering it, this movement calls upon its recovery community to “speak it out loud,” actively dismantling these negative stereotypes while offering a face and voice of hope to those who may otherwise feel as if they are fighting a hopeless battle alone.

The Mobilize Recovery Across America Bus Tour is a champion of this growing movement, as figureheads in the recovery community are travelling across the country to spread this needed source of inspiration and hope in honor of National Recovery Month.

As the bus rolled into the parking lot of The McShin Foundation, the campaign’s power could be seen in the countless campaign signs waving in the air by the crowd of visitors that ran to greet the bus. It could be heard in the crowd’s surge of cheering and clapping as Mobilize Recovery

The new accreditation standards took effect with the 201819 school year, and the state waived accreditation requirements for the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“There are many ways to measure school success; state accreditation is one,” said Steve Geyer, assistant superintendent of instruction. “We are proud of our strong track record of high

champions poured out of the bus. It could be felt in the uplifting spirit of the sunny evening, as strangers became comrades, smiles were unwavering, members of the recovery community danced around in jubilation, and speakers riled up the crowd in triumphant hurrahs.

It wasn’t just an evening of acceptance. It was an evening of powerful change.

Addiction is overcome with recovery. Recovery is strength. And just as the speakers of the evening powerfully emphasized, who all stood as recovering addicts themselves, this strength is nourished by the recovery community “speaking out loud” – it is powerfully spread by those who can serve as the voice and face of hope that recovery is possible, and that addiction is not a shameful or isolating word. It is a community of fighters, and it is a community that must uplift one another by speaking their own shame, guilt and overall perseverance out loud.

This matches up well with our school division’s longstanding pursuit to ensure every student is thriving every single day. We have talented, dedicated professionals, and we also have amazing students and families. Together, our school community has achieved a great deal over the years — and the sky’s the limit.”

into one, and it is a movement that is combating the country’s opioid epidemic and all forms of addiction like never before. It is a movement that does not group addiction into a single stereotype, but instead reveals that it is an illness to overcome.

This unity could be seen in the Mobilize Recovery bus itself, as messages of hope and inspiration from individuals across the nation decorate its exterior. So in honor of National Recovery Month, consider challenging yourself to “speak it out loud.” I challenge you to confront your past or present that may hold any shame, guilt or isolation. Become champions of change by fighting the stigma surrounding “addiction” – whether that means by joining the movement, becoming an active supporter of the recovery community, or even becoming an active listener.

Funny, how the juxtaposition of feeling despair and then quickly turning to hopefulness happened so fast. All it took was reading the paper. Thank you to the Gazette edi-

A fine day for fishing

The Goochland Rotary Club hosted the CATCH 2022 fishing event on Sunday, Sept. 17, offering local kids and their families the chance to relax and enjoy a day of fishing with local deputies.

Relay

continued

the most physical exertion.

Team members were treated to an after party by Goochland CASA. Beverages were provided by New Belgium, food by Moes, and DJ A.C. Walker of Colonial DJs provided music.

“I enjoy being here for the teams, trying to get them

pumped up,” said Walker. Teams gathered to enjoy the culmination of the event sponsored by Goochland CASA and to encourage the last relay members as they crossed the finish line.

Part of the fun for repeat performers is comparing one year’s race to another. Additionally, family members of the teams also gathered to show support and

make finish line videos and photos. One such team was Ainsley’s Angels. Colorful team shirts added to the festive ambience.

One large team from Charlottesville gathered in a departing huddle for prayer of gratitude and safe travel home. Another group was composed of Irishmen, who were enthralled that former CASA director and Goochland

resident Ann Casey is of Irish descent.

“What deserves praise for this particular race is the volunteers are the nicest of any long distance relay we’ve ever done,” said Dan Ragan, captain of the “No Sleepers by the Dozen,” a team comprised of 11 members from South Carolina, Virginia and Maryland.

Townsend said she looks

forward to recruiting additional runners from Goochland and other towns next year. “It is such a worthy cause, good exercise, and the sense of accomplishment as runners is palpable,” she said.

Benedictine off to scorching start to season

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

soccer is off to one of the program’s best starts in recent memory with a 6-0-1 start and multiple comeback wins, including a two-goal comeback against Saint John Paul the Great en route to a Menno Classic championship victory.

Benedictine

Head coach Daniel Gill says the team, currently ranked No. 8 in the first VISAA state polls, has a knack for comebacks and toughness through an ever-rotating lineup due to a myriad of injuries that can be attributed to one particular aspect that grows from the way they train.

“I think the thing that has defined our season so far has been resiliency,” Gill said.

The Menno Classic was a great example of the resilience this team demonstrates. Entering the tournament with multiple injuries across the board, Gill says he had to bring up three freshmen from the junior varsity team to help in the tournament-opening game against Saint John Paul the Great, and those three were vital to the comeback win.

Down 2-0 in the first 20 minutes, freshman Harrison Efford scored a goal and fellow freshman Coleben Dumont was fouled in the box to set up a penalty kick goal from team leader Jack Miller that set the tone for the rest of the tournament. The comeback was the second multi-goal comeback of the season, with the team also coming back from a big lead to Virginia Academy by scoring three goals in the last 20 minutes in Benedictine’s third win of the season on Sept. 6.

Dominant first half sets the tone for Cadets over Tigers

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

For the second straight week in a row, the Benedictine Cadets football team ran up the score with a 42-point outing for their third straight win.

Taking on Jackson-Reed (0-4) on the road on Sept. 23, Benedictine (3-1) saw the defense score two touchdowns and the special teams unit add one more to run the score up to a comfortable 35-0 lead entering half time.

After a promising first quarter drive led by runs of

13 and 21 yards ended in a Wes Buleza strike to Freddy Barber gave the Cadets an early 7-0 lead, they completely took over with a dominant 28-point second quarter that put the game away early.

That second quarter splurge featured a blocked punt in the back of the Tigers’ end zone recovered for a touchdown by Jejuan Hutchins and Khamari Veney and Easton Ogle each taking interceptions to the house for scores.

On Ogle’s pick-six, the free safety anticipated a pass across

the middle in Cadets territory and leaped up for the grab and followed two Cadets blockers down the right sideline before slashing inside into open space to make it a 21-0 lead for the traveling Cadets.

On the defensive line, the Cadets again controlled the trenches, with Jacob Moore earning an early sack on a four-man rush and TJ Baldwin recording three tackles for loss.

As a result of another commanding performance on the defensive front, the Tigers finished with -34 yards on the

ground and just 34 yards of total offense.

The Benedictine offense on the other hand had a day to remember, recording 238 yards of total offense led on the ground by Boehlin’s 91 yards on 12 carries. His running mate in the backfield Ryker Cook also added a 4-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter for the final score of the game while also pitching in 38 yards on eight carries.

Buleza only attempted 12 passes on the day, but was excellent when asked to drop

back and pass, finishing with a 69% completion percentage and two touchdown passes, including a 29-yard score to go-to target Riley Roarty.

Buleza’s pass to Barber was his most impressive strike, as he demonstrated his ability to play off-schedule when he leaves the pocket by delivering a pass across the body in a tight window to Barber, who was standing in the left corner of the end zone.

Next week, the Cadets will look to add to their threegame win streak with a matchup on the road against

St. Christopher’s on Saturday, Oct. 1 at 3 p.m. The Saints (4-0) will be a tough assignment for the Cadets, with a rock solid defense that’s allowed an average of 9 points in their four games played this season.

St. Christopher’s offense will be dealing with an elite defense on the other end as well though, with Benedictine’s defensive unit allowed just 38 points scored against them all season.

Collegiate tight end Hayden Rollison gives recruiters more to see

By Tim Pearrell Richmond Times-Dispatch

Collegiate’s Hayden Rollison sprained his knee in the second game last season, missed several games and was eased back into action by Cougars coach Mark Palyo the rest of the way.

The upshot was college recruiters didn’t get an extended look at the 6-foot-3, 225-pound tight end/H-back/linebacker. That’s come this season, with his performances leaving recruiters wanting more.

The senior had seven catches for 125 yards and a touchdown, intercepted two passes and returned one for a TD, and had two sacks and two solo tackles in a 44-19 victory over Nansemond-Suffolk last week.

In three games for Collegiate (2-1), Rollison has 16 catches for 283 yards and two TDs.

He has offers from Air Force and VMI – “and a whole lot of, ‘I like, I like. We want to see more film,’” Palyo said.

“The Ivy Leagues absolutely love him. Oh my goodness, this guy’s off-the-chart smart,” he added.

Rollison, a second-team all-state baseball player in VISAA last season, was a receiver on varsity as a freshman. Palyo said he’s a hard, physical runner who’s tough to bring down, and he’s a “well-rounded athlete capable of doing many things. I can play him at quarterback as well. He’s that type of athlete.”

“I look at the little things about the players you have on the team,” Palyo said. “When he wasn’t on the field … he’s like the first one grabbing the water bottles and taking them to the rest of the team. He is a team person through and through, which is one of my things I really focus on.

“I’m just hoping this brings him some opportunities that he wants,” Palyo continued. “Now he’s been able to really show how he’s capable of playing.”

Bulldogs nearly upset in defensive battle

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

Goochland football continues to show improvement over the course of its season, and in the Bulldogs’ fourth game of the season, they came as close as they have all season to getting that first win.

Traveling to the home field of the Western Albemarle Warriors, the Bulldogs played without multiple starters and battled in a gritty, defensive affair that went in the Warriors’ favor, 7-3.

The game, played on Sept. 23, came down to the wire in a second half that found the Bulldogs with multiple opportunities to potentially take the lead.

One such instance in the third quarter saw the Warriors scramble for a loss ball after a high snap flew over the head of junior quarterback Nathan Simon toward the end zone, but the mad scramble for the ball ended up being recovered by the Warriors at their 1-yard-line, saving them from a safety or potential Goochland touchdown.

The Bulldogs got the ball back after that and had a promising drive sparked by nine consecutive runs to senior Jamason Pryor, who ran for 50 yards on that drive alone.

A killer delay of game halted the momentum of Pryor’s workhorse running though, and a crucial giveaway let the Warriors take control of the ball with 4:32 left in the ball game.

The Warriors were able to kill the clock all the way down thanks to two first downs on the ground and a decisive defensive pass interference that allowed them to line up in victory formation for their

third win of the season.

Pryor was the standout for the Goochland offense behind a fantastic performance from the offensive line, tearing up the Warriors defense to the tune of 132 of the team’s 149 rushing yards on the night.

The lone score came from kicker Tyler Black, who split the uprights with a 33-yard field goal in the second quarter.

Goochland’s defense had an outstanding performance against a Warriors side that hadn’t been held to a singledigit scoring output all season, averaging nearly 31 points per

game entering the contest.

The young, scrappy Bulldogs were particularly excellent on third downs, holding the Warriors to oneof-seven on third down conversions and a single touchdown that was scored in the first quarter when running back Kyle Keyton crossed the goal line for a 2-yard score.

That drive started at the Bulldogs 39-yard-line after a snap on a Bulldogs punt sailed past Black on fourth down.

The Bulldogs also forced a turnover on a fumble that was recovered by junior JaQuel Young in Warriors territory

that set the offense up with great field position. Freshman linebacker Jack O’Malley also recorded a sack during the game.

While another tough loss, there’s clear progress being made for the Bulldogs, who are building off each experience on the field.

Goochland plays again on Friday, Sept. 30 in a home matchup against Fluvanna County, who is also searching for its first win of the season.

Last season, the Bulldogs shutout the Flying Flucos in a 28-0 beatdown on Oct. 1, 2021.

SGHS tennis earns highest ranking in school history

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

St. Gertrude’s tennis has been a program in a constant state of progression the last few seasons, gradually challenging the top programs within the VISAA with a strong group of veteran players that have made the team competitive in the regular season.

All that progression has culminated in a historical mark for the program after the Gators were featured on the first VISAA Division I

State Poll on Sept. 20.

Receiving 10 votes, the Gators were placed No. 9 on the top-10 rankings. The top-10 mark is St. Gertrude’s highest ranking in program history.

Atop the polls was the dominant Collegiate Cougars, who received 50 votes to stand alone at the top of the mountain while The Potomac School and Norfolk Academy rounded out the top-3.

The Gators just matched up with the top-ranked Cougars on Sept. 19, which ended in an 8-1 victory in the Cougars’ favor, though that

lone victory in singles ended up being the first win for the program against the Cougars in nine years.

The Gators most recently took on No. 7 Trinity Episcopal and Chatham Hall last week, falling to the Titans in a close 6-3 finish while sweeping Chatham Hall with wins in all nine competitions.

St. Gertrude, coached by Richard Razzetti, is led by No. 1 player Mary Margaret Losch, a senior who is a returning contributor from last year’s team that won seven games, finished in fourth place in the LIS tour-

nament, and was awarded the LIS Sportsmanship Award.

This season, St. Gertrude holds a 4-4 overall record and a 3-4 league record with 11 more regular season matchups on the horizon before they buckle in and prepare for the LIS Championships on Oct. 28.

The Gators will hit the courts again on Friday, Sept. 30 when they take on Virginia Episcopal School, who is ranked No. 6 in the Division II polls.

Bulldogs roundup: golf preps for regions, volleyball goes 6-4

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

Goochland’s golf team recently wrapped up its regular season with a tight finish against William Monroe that acts as the final tuneup before the team embarks on a postseason run at the Region 3B Tournament held at Shenandoah Valley Golf Club.

Against William Monroe,

senior Gintas Putinas took medalist honors in his last regular season match with a low score of 39 at Greene Hills Golf Club on Sept. 20. Despite Putinas’ great performance and notable finishes like Henry Vazales’ final tally of 42 and Dawson Handy’s final of 43, the Bulldogs fell just short of victory against the Dragons, who won 169-166.

Last season, the Bulldogs

placed third in the regional tournament, then held at Mattaponi Springs Golf Club in Caroline County.

The Goochland volleyball team bounced back from a three-game losing streak with a promising week of play in two games, one of which they won in three sets against Charlottesville and the other they fell to Monticello.

The Bulldogs (6-4)

made quick work of the Charlottesville Black Knights, taking sets of 25-13, 25-9 and 25-16 while the junior varsity team won in two sets.

The Bulldogs were led by outside hitter Ava Garrison with five kills, four aces, four digs and one block in a strong performance that saw her do a little bit of everything in order to get the win. Setter and opposite Nicole Brown had

game with a 3-1 victory, the team battled in a riveting final with Christchurch, a team that outplayed Benedictine in its preseason matchup.

This time though, the Cadets were prepared for a dog fight, battling down to the wire in a matchup that went all the way to a penalty shootout, which the Cadets won 4-3 to snatch the silverware and add it to their trophy case.

“I think it really showed how far we had come,” Gill said of their Christchurch performance.

The team has yet to have a consistent starting lineup due to the injuries they’ve faced, but the team still finds ways to win with the players that go out on the field, making them a threat against just about anybody in the state.

“People keep stepping up and finding a way to win,” Gill said. “I don’t think it can be random because it’s happened so many times.”

A lot of the credit can perhaps be attributed to how this team practices. Gill utilizes a competitive practice structure that makes every drill a win-orlose affair.

Much like a pickup basketball game, the winners stay on for the drill while the losers stay off, but the losing side or player will always get the chance to hop back onto the field to win the next drill.

That win-or-go-home mentality had created a team that never gives up until the whistle sounds, making the Cadets a

threat to comeback regardless of the score on the board.

With a great start, recognition from the VISAA standings and an in-season championship to their name, the Cadets are riding high, but they’ll have to showcase more of that strength when they run through an October gauntlet in their schedule that’ll see them face teams like No. 3 St. Christopher’s and No. 6 Collegiate in consecutive games. If their start to the season is any indication, those games will be intense matchups down to the final whistle.

a strong outing as well with a game-high 14 assists to go with three kills and seven digs. Libero Laura Lee Baldwin also had a strong defensive outing, recording 20 digs.

Against Monticello, the Mustangs proved too much to handle for the Bulldogs, who fell in sets of 25-19, 25-15 and 25-18.

The Bulldogs were led in kills by sophomore Avery

Jastrzemski with six and opposite Nina Smith with seven, while Smith also added four digs and two blocks. Baldwin also contributed 15 digs on the evening.

Next up for Goochland is a matchup on the road against Orange County on Thursday, Sept. 29 at 6:30 p.m. This will be the first of two matchups against Orange County this season.
