The Mechanicsville Local

January 13, 2010

By day, George Herring teaches English at Atlee High School. He is this year’s Hanover County Teacher of the Year, representing the best in what Hanover looks for in a teacher.

At night, however, all bets are off.

When the sun goes down, Herring becomes someone — or something — else, from a long-haired hippie elf to a ninja master or a ukulele-playing monk.

Herring is part of an improv comedy group called Random Acts, whose evening escapades take place at the Hat Theatre, a small venue off Patterson Avenue in western Henrico County.

It’s no big-budget production. But for Herring and his fellow actors, it’s all about the camaraderie and, of course, cracking jokes on any and every topic.

“I can’t imagine doing anything better than this,” he said, referring to the lowstress schedule that takes up a few hours of his time every week. The group performs four shows over one weekend each month.

“It’s a lot more rewarding” than a fulltime improv job, “it’s totally fun, and you’re hanging out with people who are likeminded,” Herring said. “It’s great to be a part of a group of people who really love what they do and have a strong respect for each other.”

His fellow actors are Jeff Clevenger, J.R. Foster, James Wasliewski, Jody Matzer, Michael Dunn, Tim Crews and Patrick Raines.

Their natural ease with one another comes out on stage. Parts of the shows are scripted, but many of the jokes and one-liners are spontaneous.

“Basically, we’re all . . . little boys, so we’ve done a ninja show and we’ve done our cowboy show and a pirate show,” Herring said, as well as one about the masculine side of fairy tales and a tribute to the television show “Mystery Science Theater 3000.”

The group performs family-friendly shows on Friday and Saturday nights, which are followed by adult-oriented shows featuring uncensored improv skits.

Herring said he has been involved in improv comedy since college. He has performed in several groups up and down the East Coast and has also started a few of his own. He says he wouldn’t call acting a hobby because it’s more important to him than that.

His comedic side naturally comes out as a teacher.

“It just adds to part of what makes the class special,” Herring said, adding that he sometimes uses improvisation games when teaching public speaking. “I think the kids appreciate having somebody that has a pretty sharp wit.”

Man gets 10 years in girlfriend’s death

By Bill McKelway Media General News Service Derek Edward Burkhead professed his enduring love Monday, Jan. 4, for the longtime girlfriend he killed in 2006, pleading that his prison sentence for her death not overly prolong his absence from the couple’s 6-year-old son.

“He needs his father as well as I need him,” Burkhead told Judge J. Overton Harris in Hanover County Circuit Court.

“I’m not perfect,” he told the judge.

“But I’m a very good father and a very good person.”

That assertion was backed by Burkhead’s family and acquaintances but not by Shannon Hoehl, the chief deputy commonwealth’s attorney. She told Harris that the son someday will “have to suffer the knowledge of his mother’s death” and his father’s role.

She said Burkhead, now days from his

27th birthday, had provided no financial support for his son while out on bond.

She ridiculed the notion that Burkhead should be shown leniency in the name of preserving the son’s well-being.

She emphasized that the victim, 23year-old Jennifer Willis, showed signs of being beaten and was found dead in her nightclothes.

Harris sided with the jury that found Burkhead guilty of involuntary manslaughter in October and recommended a sentence of 10 years, the maximum.

Harris said he wanted to impose a sentence in keeping with the jury’s wishes rather than with sentencing guidelines that, on the high end, called for six months in jail. Burkhead had no prior criminal record.

Last week’s sentencing came more than three years after the September 2006 death of Willis, who died of a bullet wound to the head.

On Jan .4, Burkhead called the shoot-

ing in the bedroom of the home they shared “a tragic accident.”

His lawyer, John Honey, renewed pleas to set aside the verdict based on evidence suggesting that the shooting likely occurred during a struggle over a 9 mm pistol.

Burkhead and Willis had lived together with their son for several years in Mechanicsville, but testimony showed an angry exchange of messages between the two and suggestions of jealousy the night of the shooting.

Burkhead had collapsed during two previous trials, forcing new proceedings.

During a third trial a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder, but that was invalidated because jurors inadvertently received material during deliberations that was not part of the trial record.

Burkhead had faced a life sentence if he had been convicted on the original first-degree murder charge.

Mechanicsville man becomes state trooper Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com After eight months of physically demanding training and hours in the classroom, a Mechanicsville man was among the 115th generation of troopers to join the ranks of the Virginia State Police following a graduation ceremony on Friday, Jan. 8, in the Virginia State Police Gymnasium at 7700 Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond.

Michael Christopher Roser, who worked for Virginia Commonwealth University’s Police Department before joining the Virginia State Police, said he has “wanted to be a trooper since I was a kid.”

The 30-year-old reports for duty in Henrico County and

the City of Richmond.

Friday’s session included the addition of 42 new troopers, three commercial vehicle enforcement officers, and one special agent accountant.

The 115th Basic Session endured a 36-week training schedule. The new troopers received more than 1,700 hours of instruction involving 97 different subjects including: crime scene investigation, defensive tactics, judicial procedures, survival Spanish, firearms, and cultural diversity.

The graduates’ final phase of training began Monday, Jan. 11, when the troopers reported to their respective duty assignments. Each trooper will spend a minimum of six weeks with a field training officer learning his or her new patrol area.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

It’s back to work for the General Assembly Hanover County’s delegation returns to the State Capitol today as the General Assembly convenes its 2010 regular session.

Sen. Ryan McDougle, R-4, and Del. Chris Peace, R-97, welcome Ashland businessman John Cox, who will be taking his seat representing the 55th Delegate District.

Cox, a Republican, fills the seat vacated by longtime Del. Frank D. Hargrove Sr. who decided not to seek re-election last year.

So, what will the session mean to Hanover County?

On Oct. 28, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors adopted its legislative agenda, which requests the following in action statements: ✓ Legislation granting localities authority to prescribe civil penalties for violations of local noise ordinances. ✓ The General Assembly amend Va. Code 46.2-1222.1 to authorize the county to regulate the parking of boats, trailers, recreational and commercial vehicles on secondary roads. ✓ The General Assembly amend 1-210 to include a provision clarifying that when any act of the General Assembly requires action to be taken on or before a certain deadline, such time period is extended to the next business day when the specified deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. ✓ A legislative study on how the Dillon Rule might be modified to give local governments greater flexibility on matters relating to public safety, land use and revenue. ✓ Legislation to delay implementation of Part II, Technical Criteria, of the newly adopted Storm Water Management Regulations to allow state and local policymakers to use sound science to fully consider the funding levels, economic impacts and unintended consequences of such a program.

And, just as the work of the General Assembly gets under way, Bob McDonnell prepares to take the oath of office as the 71st governor of Virginia. He will officially assume the state’s highest office on Saturday.

No reform for the leadership It is amazing that so many voters do not understand what our Congress and President Obama are planning for us voters that elected them. They want to give us another massive bureaucracy to administer our health care.

What most voters do not understand is that the socalled health care reform does not apply to Congress or to our President. They have their own health plan that is very lavish, and we voters cannot be part of it, but we must pay for it.

During an ABC-TV special on health care, Obama was asked, “Will you and your family give up your current health care program and join the new program that the rest of us will be on?”

Obama ignored the question and refused to answer it. Some senators were asked the same question and they said, “We will think about it.” And they

did. They said that Congress will be 100 percent exempt.

So, the new plan is good for us voters, but not good enough for the Obama family and Congress. What fools we must be to have our elected servants have a much better plan than the voters who hired them.

Responding to religion, founding I’m not one to belabor topics in The Local, but after reading Mr. Sneed’s response to Ms. Lucord’s letter, I felt I needed to correct some of his statements minus the ad hominem attacks he makes.

So let’s start at the beginning. Mr. Sneed says, “America was not founded a Christian nation.” OK, I’m not sure what he means by “founded,” but let’s look at our original founding.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 7 b

Jamestown, wrote in his book, The General History of Virginia, “But God the guider of all good actions, forcing them by extreme storm to hull all night, did drive them by his providence to their desired port, beyond all their expectations”(27). So to him, God brought him to Virginia.

Then, of course, there are the Pilgrims and Puritans, Harvard, Princeton, and William and Mary, all of which were established to create preachers.

Mr. Sneed mentions the Enlightenment, but forgets to add the “Great Awakening,” which rekindled Christian passions in the American colonies in the mid-1770s and played “a key role in the development of democratic concepts in the period of the American Revolution.” That quotation is from Bernard Bailyn, a pretty good historian.

Mr. Sneed then correctly points out that many of our founding fathers were land owners and deists.

He even claims that Ben Franklin was an atheist.

OK, he also says people don’t like to read, so I went to Ben Franklin’s autobiography to read where he was an atheist.

Here is what Ben Franklin says on page 72 after admitting that he has had issues with the Christian faith, but his words, “I never doubted, for instance, the existence of the Diety; that he made the world, and governed it by his Providence . . . that our souls are immortal…” and he goes on to explain the need for and problems that religion causes in society.

He even says on the same page, “Tho I seldom attend any public worship, I had still an opinion of its propriety, and of its utility when rightly conducted, and I regularly paid my annual subscription to the only Presbyterian minister we had in Philadelphia.”

Really? The words of an

atheist? I’m not saying Franklin was a devout believer, but hardly an atheist.

If by “founded” we mean the Constitutional Era, again, context and all the evidence needs to be discussed, not selected items.

First, Mr. Sneed is correct in stating that the Constitution and Declaration of Independence are mostly secular documents.

The few mentions of a generic God in no way presumes a Christian nation. You have to understand the purpose of the Constitution to understand why it doesn’t blatantly say, “we’re a Christian nation.”

The Founding Fathers created a national government free of Christian rule, this much is true.

But they did this knowing that the only way it would work, is if the people it governed were religious. And to them, that meant the Christian faith.

Now, back to Mr. Sneed’s argument for the secular Constitution.

The purpose of the Constitution was to limit national power and allow the states to rule themselves.

So, one must look at the state constitutions to see whether or not we are a “Christian nation.”

Virginia’s in 1776 says, “That religion, or the duty which we owe to our Creator, and the manner of discharging it, can be directed only by reason and conviction, not by force or violence; and therefore all men are equally entitled to the free exercise of religion, according to the dictates of conscience; and that it is the mutual duty of all to practice Christian forbearance, love, and charity towards each other.”

Did you read the part where it says, “duty of all?”

In fact, here are some of the words used in various state constitutions: one God (South Carolina, Connecticut), good (Massachusetts), Almighty (North Carolina, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,

Vermont), the Supreme Being (Massachusetts), the Creator (Massachusetts), the Great Legislator of the Universe (Massachusetts), the Governor of the Universe (Pennsylvania, Vermont), and the inspirer of the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments (South Carolina, Pennsylvania). His Divine Providence was recognized (New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts), as was the fact that He is Savior and Lord (Connecticut).

In 1780, the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights says, “As the happiness of a people, and the good order and preservation of civil government, essentially depend upon piety, religion and morality; and as these cannot be generally diffused throughout a community but by the institution of public worship of God, and of public instructions in piety, religion and morality” and then it goes on to require the state to fund religious institutions.

So, George Washington eliminated Jesus from his presidential address?

He also wrote in the first Thanksgiving Day Proclamation, “Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness.” Huh, thanking God for establishing this government?

Mr. Sneed also quotes Alexander Hamilton’s denial of God in the Constitution (an unsubstantiated quotation).

But, after the Constitution was written, Hamilton said, “For my own part, I sincerely esteem it a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests.”

Again, Hamilton was no preacher, but my point is, give me a quotation from a founding father that seems to support a non-Christian America, I can produce a quotation from the same person to the contrary.

And you can look on into the rest of our history where religion was central.

It’s true that by the late 1890s, courts began ruling Bible reading in public schools as unconstitutional, but the fact is, it was allowed for over 100 years after the Bill of Rights was created.

Why would a nation, not meant to be Christian, call for Bible reading in public schools for over 100 years (not fully banned until the 1960s to be technical)?

One could argue that today, 2010, we shouldn’t be a sectarian nation in our government. I can agree to that.

But, the evidence seems to suggest that this as a recent trend, not how it was meant to be.

Mike Hasley Mechanicsville

Responding to letters to senators We have all become accustomed to the hyperbolic reactions to Congress’ attempt to provide health insurance reform, but the recent letter

by Gwen Heath suggesting votes by Mark Warner and Jim Webb show their support of the “extinction of many groups of people,” is ignorant.

How could Ms. Heath think that Jim Webb, former Secretary of the Navy under President Reagan, would allow the extinction of veterans?

First responders get special holiday thank you Patient who suffered cardiac arrest takes the time to express gratitude to county squads that saved her life Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad meets its Christmas Angel When medics with the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad responded to a call on June 24, 2008, they did not realize what an impact their services would make on the patient.

They learned on Dec. 14 during their General Membership Meeting just what their actions meant to Nancy Minson and her family.

After being dispatched to the Crown Hill Road home by the Hanover County Emergency Communications Center, Ambulance 14-3 was ready to respond to the “Priority One – Cardiac Arrest – CPR in Progress” call.

The ECC also dispatched Medic 6 (Henry Fire Station) and First Responder 12 (Black Creek Fire Station) to the call. Upon entering the home, volunteers Elizabeth C. ”Christe” Lemon and Matthew T. “Matt” Combee found a female patient lying on the floor, not breathing and non responsive, with the husband performing proper chest compressions as instructed by ECC personnel via the 911 call.

Christe took over the chest compressions while Matt secured all of the needed equipment from the unit, and hooked the automated external defibrillator (AED) to the patient.

Upon the arrival of the first responders from Black Creek Station

At the far right, we have Christe Lemon from East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad is shown at the far right.

12, Larry R. Leber, Donnie L. West and Lee Metz, the team used the AED on the patient, analyzed the patient’s heart, and delivered an immediate initial shock. In addition, the team began to secure an airway for the patient using the King LT Airway.

Medic 6 consisting of Stacy G.

Reaves, Jason T. Williams and Kelsey V. Foley had arrived, and Reaves, a paramedic, immediately began advanced lifesaving techniques.

As Stacy and Christe were finalizing the securing of the airway, they noticed that the patient was attempting to breathe “around the tube.” It

became evident to all in the room that perhaps the initial shock by the AED could possibly have worked.

There was still much more work to do. Together, everyone working as a team, “packaged” the patient for transport, loaded the patient into Medic 6’s ambulance, performed

additional advanced lifesaving functions, and transported the patient to Memorial Regional Medical Center in Mechanicsville.

Nancy, her husband Steve and their son Stevie took time last month to appear before the East Hanover VRS membership and extend a “thank you,” as well as share hugs, laughter, excitement and tears. This meeting with Christe, Matt, Larry, Donnie, Lee and Stacy was an opportunity to say those two important words: “thank you.”

During a squad meeting in September 2008, Christe and Matt received the American Heart Association Heartsaver Award for their efforts in saving Nancy’s life.

The other participants on that call received similar awards at their respective stations as well.

The American Heart Association (AHA) realized that on that day in June 2008 a life was saved by a team of professionals that performed the proper techniques of CPR with an AED as taught by the AHA. The volunteers said they didn’t have to talk to one another during the call as each and every member of the team that worked on Nancy knew what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

A fellow squad member said, “This is training at its best, and Nancy was a result of that training, and the protocols and procedures as established by the AHA. Proper CPR

Phyllis Marie Anderson, grandson, William and wife, would be her devoted and

Considering the location and the age of the house, you were able to successfully sell it for me in a reasonable length of time.

The real estate market at that time was low, yet you successfully found a pre-qualified buyer and everything went as smoothly and effortlessly as possible.

Your staff was very professional and kept me apprised on a weekly basis of what had transpired in reference to the property.

I could not have asked for a better business relationship than that which I had with you and your staff.

Kudos to Seay Real Estate.

Thanks for everything and you can be assured, if I ever need my present home sold, you will be the ONLY agent I would consider.

Kindest personal regards to you and your staff.

Catering is all in the family for local couple Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com An interest in cooking led to what became a career and business opportunity for Mechanicsville residents Bruce and Debbie Pegram.

They own and operate Bruceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catering & Special Events.

Bruce has worked in the catering business off and on for 20 years, including kitchen manager and cook at Spaghetti Warehouse, kitchen manager and cook at Texas Grill Restaurant and cook at Smokey Pig. Debbie also brings talent to the table, as the granddaughter of a cook and a family that owns a local bakery.

When they are asked to cater an event, Debbie said they meet with the client to get an idea of what is wanted, as well as the budget.

She said they can give recommendations for foods needed on a traditional menu or any type of specialty requested by the customer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our most important concern is for the customer to be able to enjoy their event and not have to worry about anything,â&#x20AC;? she said.

On stage Sept. 24 through Nov. 7, “Smoke on the Mountain Homecoming,” written by Connie Ray and conceived

by Alan Bailey with musical arrangements by Mike Craver, is set in October 1945 and the gospel-singing Sanders Family is back together again. The war is over and America’s years of prosperity are just beginning.

But there’s another kind of rite of passage at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, where the Rev. Mervin Oglethorpe is giving his last service. He’s been called to preach in Texas, and he’s already bought a 10gallon hat and is preparing to ride into the sunset with his wife June, who is eight months pregnant. Tomorrow morning, young Dennis Sanders takes over as Mount Pleasant’s pastor.

No. 1 R-MC holds off CNU to move to 13-0

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Fresh off picking up its first No. 1 ranking since the 2002-03 season, Randolph-Macon completed its nonconference schedule Saturday evening, defeating Christopher Newport 80-68. It was a game in which the Yellow Jackets led by double digits early but could never fully put their visitors away. Though the Captains came into Crenshaw Gym with a losing record, they gave the Yellow Jackets all they could handle for much of the evening.

Despite CNU’s record, RMC’s Brandon Braxton expected the game to be tight. “Being the No. 1 team, we know that we have a bullseye on our back so we have to either be the underdog going in or think that any team can beat us,” he said.

“We just try to go out and keep the intensity up for 40 minutes.”

The intensity was there throughout for both teams in a game that was often played at a frantic pace.

Junior guard Jordan Brown (17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 blocks) got the Jackets going early by scoring nine of their first 10 points. And though RMC (13-0) raced to a quick 6-0 lead, CNU (5-7) trimmed the margin to 10-9 on a three from Theo Baker at the 13:26 mark of the first.

But then the Jackets began blistering the nets from long

range through crisp passing and finding the open shooter.

Junior Danny Jones started a string of four consecutive threes off an assist from Brown then Adam Desgain’s stole the show.

Over a 54 second period, the sophomore from J.R. Tucker drilled back-to-back-to-back threes to break the game open, for a 22-12 R-MC lead.

“I think we got good shots,” R-MC head coach Nathan Davis said of his team’s 47.7 percent shooting from deep. “I thought a lot of it was because we were unselfish, we were getting open looks and we have guys that can make shots when they’re open.”

Center Brandon Braxton (10 points) widened the margin further by following a thunderous dunk with a 10-foot jumper and it appeared that the Jackets were going to run away with the contest when they pulled out to a 26-12 lead.

But CNU refused to fold, making the most of three steals and eight first half turnovers by R-MC to trim the margin to 10 by the break.

For Jackets’ junior guard Eric Pugh (11 points, 3 steals, 3 assists), the Captains’ pressure did not come as a surprise.

“They’re an athletic team so that’s what we expected,” he said.

Smaller Lee-Davis steps up big against Atlee

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com It was a rivalry game turned topsy-turvy when Atlee visited Lee-Davis last Thursday night. The Raiders came into the contest as one of the tallest teams in the district while the Confederates were among the shortest. However, when it came to play, Lee-Davis dominated the post with rebounding and scoring and Atlee ineffectively shot from the parameter resulting in a 62-41 blow-out win for the C-feds.

Atlee came into the contest severely short-handed and without the services of center Austin Young as well as guards Barrett Prince and Phil Hodges. The Raiders had size to substitute for the absence of Young but they did not have the scoring to take the place of Hodges and Prince who are currently the fifth and sixth leading scorers in the Capital

District, each averaging over 14 points per game.

Playing without his leading duo, Atlee head coach Phil Reynolds knew that beating Lee-Davis would take a whale of an effort. Therefore, he was not as much disappointed with the loss as with how his team lost.

For the game, the Raiders were 2-for-17 from three point range and a miserable 11-for25 on free throws. To make matters worse, the taller team was at a double-digit rebounding disadvantage to the smaller C-feds.

“All those offensive misses and so it’s just a recipe for a blow out win for them,” Reynolds said.

Against the Raiders, the Lee-Davis game plan was to get Atlee’s big men in foul trouble early while kicking the ball out to the parameter for scoring. “Our plan was to go down low to big guys like

(Justin) Naumann, (Jordan) Boze and Dustin Abele, work inside out instead of outside in,” said senior point guard Chris Cook.

Instead, Lee-Davis went low and stayed their, taking control of the post.

No one did that better than Naumann who finished the game with a double-double, 17 points and 11 rebounds.

After Cook took the opening tip and drove to the basket for a quick score, Naumann took over, scoring eight straight points for the C-feds; two baskets off assists from Cook and two off rebound put-backs, to give Lee-Davis a 10-2 lead with 2:30 to play in the first.

“Naumann’s quick, he’s elusive,” Metzger said. “He might not be the tallest guy but he can jump and he’s sneaky in there. He whittles his way, somehow, through everybody and puts the ball in the hoop for us.”

“I was doing pretty good tonight,” Naumann said. “I was really hot. I was jumping great tonight and I was putting in points and then getting rebounds.”

Naumann just seemed to have a nose for where rebounds were going. “I do have an idea, sometimes,” he said. “I just put a good box out and jump as high as I can and reach for it and usually get it.”

But Naummann got plenty of support down low from Abele and Boze. “Our game plan was to limit turnovers and crash the boards,” Boze said.

Normally a leader on the baseball diamond, Boze has carried that over to the hardwood and showed no reluctance to banging in the post. “I try to play as hard as I can,” he said. “They call me the trash Charlie Leffler man because I clean up the Lee-Davis senior Jordan Boze (50) gets up to block a shot from post, but I don’t think I do that Atlee’s Hunter Brooks.

Raiders’ defense stifles Confederates 37-20 Atlee’s Hill joins 1000 point club

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Coming into Thursday night’s matchup at Lee-Davis, Atlee senior guard Brittany Hill needed 22 points to break the career 1000 point barrier. It did not even take the entire game for her to complete the feat and she reached the mark before the final quarter of play in the 37-20 Atlee win.

“I’m so proud of Brittany,” said teammate Taylor Henderson.

“She’s worked her butt off. She’s earned that and I’m so glad she got that.”

“That was my goal for the season, so I was really excited

that I got it,” Hill said. “I get that out of the way now so I can just go out there and have fun.”

But Hill appeared to be having a ball throughout the game.

Not only did she reach the elite point plateau but also provided nearly all of the scoring in the game. At the end of the third, Hill had 22 points, her Atlee teammates 10 and the entire Lee-Davis squad 15.

Not in Hill’s plans was singlehandedly outscoring Lee-Davis.

“That was not my goal, I just wanted to get a win,” she said.

“It’s been a while since we got a win.”

When the final horn sounded Hill had scored 24 points but more importantly she was pivotal in nearly every play made by the Raiders throughout the

The Mechanicsville Local

game.

But the real story of the game was not Hill scoring but the intense Raiders’ defense. Atlee completely stymied the LeeDavis offense and did not even allow a C-fed field goal attempt until three minutes into the game. Lee-Davis did not make a basket until the 2:43 mark of the first quarter.

Atlee’s harassment of the C-fed ball handlers resulted in numerous takeaways for the Raiders. Henderson led the way see HILL, pg. 31 ` Charlie Leffler

great.”

Against Atlee, Boze just missed out on a double-double with 10 points and eight rebounds while teammate Abele came away with 10 rebounds and two points.

“The bottom line of that 2-3 zone did a tremendous job of boxing out,” Metzger said. “(The Raiders) were ice cold so there was a lot of opportunity

for Atlee with eight steals. “I just try to slide my feet as much as I can, get my hands active, not reaching,” she said.

Hill was active as well, recording seven steals in the contest.

Atlee head coach Anna Prillaman made the decision to go with ball pressure prior to the game and was proud of the way her girls responded. “That’s the first thing I told the girls (following the game), the defensive effort tonight was really good” Prillaman said. “We’ve been playing zone all year and we switched to man because LeeDavis is around the same size as us, which hasn’t been the case recently. So maybe we’re onto something going with this manto-man defense.”

JACKETS Continued from pg. 29 b

multiple shot attempts.

“I thought the main thing that really bothered us was our rebounding,” Davis said. “We couldn’t really ever fully extend (the lead) and get it going because we kept giving them second and third opportunities to score.”

Davis attributed the lack of rebounding to his team’s desire to run on offense. “I think some of that was our guys were in such a rush to want to get out and run,” he said. “We were leaving early and not blocking out.”

for Atlee to get some offensive rebounds and we did a good job of controlling them to one shot.”

The Confederates opened the second quarter with a three from the right wing by junior Colton Powell. Then on the Cfeds next possession, Powells’ fake drew a defender in the air and he hit an uncontested jumper for a 10 point LeeDavis lead, 15-5.

But the C-feds went away from what got them their lead

and Atlee chipped their way back into the contest making the deficit 19-13 with 2:42 to play in the half. The Raiders could have been much closer if not for woeful free throw shooting where they went 5for-12 in the period.

After an inspired halftime talk, Lee-Davis went back to its strength of Naumann, Boze and Able after the break stretching out to a 17-point lead, 37-20 three minutes into the third.

The C-feds pulled out to their largest margin with four minutes to play when Abele connected on a turnaround jumper and a 54-33 lead.

Though Reynolds admits his team was short on offense, that did not excuse the outcome. “We’re really disappointed with how we played,” he said. “I told the kids, against Lee-Davis, Hanover, Patrick Henry, it’s always a one to seven point game.” Therefore a 19 point loss to the C-feds broke

Henderson got things going for the Raiders with the first of her game high three, threes, then Hill pushed the lead to 5-0 on a hook in the lane.

Atlee pulled out to a 7-2 lead on a basket from freshman Karlie Suber, but then Lee-Davis began to show signs of offensive life.

Raven Sims made the first basket of the game for the C-feds to pull her team within three, 7-4 and thirty seconds later a shot by Samantha Puller narrowed the margin to one.

With Atlee holding a 9-8 lead in the second Hill took over, going on an 8-0 solo run over the next five minutes of play for a 17-8 Raiders’ lead.

Lee-Davis gained some measure of momentum heading into the locker room when Gardner drove the length of the floor to score at the buzzer and the C-

feds came out in the second half with the intentions of making it a game.

Lee-Davis’ Meredith Holmes scored on a dish from Gardner and Logan Bryan (5 points) pulled the C-feds within two on a plus-one field goal at the 6:06 mark.

But Atlee then took over complete control of the game going on a 15-0 run in which Hill scored 10 points.

Atlee pushed their lead to 3715 a minute into the fourth and cruised to the win.

Even with the victory over Lee-Davis, this season has been far different than the past for Atlee, which has struggled due to lack of depth and height. The Raiders moved to 2-6 in district play, picking up their first league victory since beating Hanover nearly a month ago.

However, Prillaman has taken it all in stride as a means to teach her players. “I’m not used to being on this side of the wins and losses, but it helps me as a coach,” she said. “I think it helps the players build a little more character, make them mentally tough. You’re not going to get wins every day in life and I think they’ve learned that and they can take that with them past basketball.”

Turnovers also provided opportunity for the Captains.

While both teams committed more than 15 turnovers, CNU turned theirs into 16 points while R-MC only converted seven. However, the Jackets evened the mark by picking up 17 assists in the game.

But Davis could accept the turnovers as long as his team kept pressing the action. “I think some of those, guys were just trying to make plays,” he said.

With the lead in single digits, R-MC’s Brown got things rolling once again with a baseline reverse, starting an 8-0 R-MC run for the Jackets.

CNU worked its way back within eight with 10:10 to play but the sophomore Calvin Croskey’s (12 points) stepped to the forefront for R-MC, scoring six of their next 11 points for a 68-55 lead which extended to 80-60 with two minutes to play.

Senior Mark Blasingame led CNU with 12 points, 11 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and no turnovers in 28 minutes of play.

Hawks soar to win in Hanover Quad

By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com With each of the county wrestling teams converging on the mats for their annual Quad match, it was no surprise that the Hanover Hawks took the meet by storm, defeating LeeDavis, Atlee and Patrick Henry.

Yet, all of those participating demonstrated their skills and abilities as well. For some it was a team success and for others, individual performances would shine.

Hanover came into the home contest with their lunch packed and sporting a full roster of seasoned wrestlers from a school known for its top notch program.

Overall Hawks’ coach Aaron Bradley was pleased with the outcome. “Good Hanover County Quad…good competition,” he said. “Glad to get out of there with three wins. We knew Lee-Davis had some good kids and that they were going to be ready to go.”

A sore shoulder from Brock Buchanan’s round two competition (140) caused Hanover to forfeit their only match of the evening facing Patrick Henry at 145. Buchanan and Patrick Foxworth, who went 3-0, traded places at 140-145 throughout the Quad to win their matches.

Bradley said, “We have both guys, our 140 pounders and sometime we’ll mix ‘em up if it fits the team better for the dual match.”

Among Hawks going 3-0 on the evening where Michael Flora (103), Kevin Keck (119), Gabe LaVey (135), Ben Wilson (152), Kyle Locke (189) and Henry Reeves (285).

Though Hanover was clearly dominant in the evening’s competition, there were some surprises. At 215, Zach Nussbaum, coming off of six consecutive pins, and having two pins for

the evening, found himself on the flipside in his match against Lee-Davis’ Calvin Davis.

Though Nussbaum did a good job fending off his opponent in the first and second periods, Davis finally caught up with him in the closing moments of the match, getting a pin from a reverse.

At 160 Patrick Sorey of Hanover made two pins, but also fell by pin to L-D’s Taylor Griggs in 1:02 of the first period.

For C-Fed head coach, Thomas Riley there were no surprises. “As a whole I think we did exactly what I thought we were going to do,” he said.

“We came in with a depleted line-up and we won the matches where we were supposed to win and didn’t the ones where we weren’t.

Riley conceded that the Hawks had his short-handed team outmatched. “They’re too strong of a team to have backups in the line-up when you face them,” Riley said. “Hopefully all of them will be back by the time the district tournament comes back. We have a couple of injuries, a couple of illnesses, and hopefully they’ll all be resolved by the time districts comes around.”

One of the best match-ups of the evening was at 189 when Lee-Davis’ John Alexander and Hanover’s Kyle Locke went down to the wire at 1-0, Locke having earned an escape..

“That’s a good match-up there,” Riley said. “They are both state ranked wrestlers. That’s going to be the district title right there.

They’re the two best at 189, so having that be a one point match…we’re pleased with the way that outcome was.”

Among the wounded was Anthony Lineberry who was favoring his leg. “He’s got an injured leg and we’re nursing that back,” Riley said.

January 13, 2010

“Hopefully he’s going to get some mat time this weekend, and be back to full strength by next weekend.”

Anthony’s brother Don, went 3-0 on the evening. “Don has definitely come into his own (more) physically than he was last year, and we’re looking forward to good things from him also.” Other of his Cfeds going 3-0 were Davis (215), Griggs (160) and Calvin Van Allen (112).

Head Coach Steven Lagow of Atlee wasn’t disappointed with the results, understanding that his team still has growth ahead. “They’re a very young team…and there are some good teams here,” he said. “We had some ups and we had some downs. I had one senior in our lineup that starts. Most of them are first and second year wrestlers. That’s a lot of youth, so, some of them have a long way to go and some have made great strides. Overall, I’m happy with the progress we’ve made along the way.”

Among those making strides were senior Raider Dillon Knight at 125, taking all three of his matches, while teammate Will Hayes went 2-1 at 135. Said Lagow, “The only one we had that went undefeated was Dillon Knight which was expected, but he wrestled well. He controlled a lot of his opponents. Will Hayes had a good night. He went two and one. His only loss was to Hanover’s 135 (LaVey). It was a good match. It was the first time seeing him, so he knows the work that’s cut out for him.

Hanover’s wrestling is quality wrestling, so we’ve got some work to do; but knowing Will, he will be able to do it.”

For Patrick Henry’s head coach William Toney, the evening was a learning experience for his young team. “We came in tonight. We knew we were
