Early retirement incentive offered By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com With a $13,000 cash payment incentive, 80 Hanover County employees have expressed interest in an early retirement program. Last Wednesday, Janet Lawson,
director of human resources, told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors interest was gauged in an employee survey. Applications for the Hanover County Early Retirement/Voluntary Separation Program must be submitted by Wednesday, Feb. 29, but county
administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. can extend the date up to 30 days. Lawson said applications to be considered will be selected based on the affect on departmental operations and the budget. The one-time program is being offered to all full-time county employ-
ees who voluntarily end their employment from Hanover County between April 1 and Oct. 1 and receive a $13,000 incentive payable as cash, continued health insurance coverage through Sept. 30, 2013, or a combination of both. see RETIREMENT, pg. 24

chyler Neale, a junior at Patrick Henry High School, has been named the FOX Richmond 2011-2012 Lights, Camera, Take Action-Stop Underage Drinking NOW winner. All area high school students are invited to enter the contest each September. Entries consist of students writing, shooting, directing, and producing a 20-second public service announcement (PSA) about the consequences and dangers of underage drinking. More than 80 entries were received this year and four students advanced to the final round of competition last month. Each finalist was awarded a Samsung tablet. The public was given the opportunity to choose the winner of the contest by selecting their favorite PSA through text messaging and/ or voting online. Neale was announced as the winner during the season premiere of “American Idol” on Jan. 18. Her submission is entitled “Don’t Believe the Hype” Of her entry, she said, “It’s a serious message portrayed in a humorous way.” “The station and I am personally proud to engage in this important dialog with the teens, parents and educators in the community. Every year the work gets better, the entries increase and we can see how new classes and new teens are getting more involved,” WRLH general manager Steve Genett said. As the fifth winner of Fox

Committee recommends high speed service without county taking financial burden By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com Government involvement in increasing high speed Internet coverage in Hanover County has been recommended, but assuming the major financial burden to develop the service has not. Hanover County’s High

The county’s leadership will have to make some bold calls as they position us going forward.” While Gaskin talked about Hanover’s positive features, including its education system and a lifestyle many business owners seek for their employees, he also addressed competitive disadvantages the county faces. “When a business owner wants to relocate to Hanover, we don’t have a lot of product to show him,” he said. “We don’t have a lot of commercial buildings and land for development to offer. What we have is along the interstate corridors and that is
where the county is committed to develop. “We also don’t have a locality owned commercial business park. We have a couple of privately owned but none with all or partial county ownership.” When a municipality, county or city owns a commercial business park, Gaskin said there are certain advantages in attracting business and industry. “Just think about the land for a moment,” he said. “If a locality owns the land, they can give it away, sell it at a discount or fair market value to attract a business or industry. They have options. They can adjust to the marketplace to attract the jobs and industry to their community.” Gaskin said the county can move forward with everyone working together. “The best kind of lead our office receives is what I call a warm lead. A warm lead comes from a business owner already located here.

I’d much rather call or go see someone like that than make cold calls.” Gaskin said tourism is one area the county should continue to develop, and he specifically noted sporting events. “When we have a family travel here because a daughter is playing in a softball tournament, they aren’t going to spend all of their time at the softball field,” he said. “We need to do a better job of giving them options of things to do and places to shop when they have free time and also find ways to keep them here longer and bring them back.” “Tourists come here, spend money and don’t vote,” Gaskin said. “We love them.” The breakfast series, held at Islamorada Restaurant at Bass Pro Shops in Ashland, is sponsored by Village Bank.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Public safety can’t be compromised Public service can be rewarding to those who choose to pursue that path. Unfortunately, however, sometimes those who are elected to office find themselves facing financial dilemmas. In today’s economy, Hanover County leaders are in an unenviable position. County administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. and his staff are probably “knee-deep” in budget preparations. How the numbers will affect county operations have yet to be revealed. A certainty though — at least in this writer’s opinion — is the need to protect our public safety services. No one wants to see other services impacted by the economy. But, the reality is that could be a possibility. With a new Board of Supervisors leading our county, we are confident members will continue to support the needs of our Sheriff ’s Office, Fire/ EMS and emergency communications. Yes, every department is crucial to our success, but we can’t lag behind when it comes to these critical services. It’s imperative that someone answers if you need to call 911. It’s imperative that an officer respond if you have a law enforcement need. It’s imperative that Fire/EMS are en route if you are the victim of a fire, automobile accident or need transportation to the hospital. Again, this is not a dismissal of other county services. Your taxpayer dollars fund county operations. But — and I don’t have a crystal ball and I am not making any predictions — the supervisors may have to look at some other services and whether they may need to be revamped. No one is suggesting elimination. It just seems realistic to consider what the seven-member board may have to do when they start working with the county and Hanover County School Board budget proposals. If you have thoughts on our budget process, participate in the public hearings, write a letter to the editor, help our county remain strong. Melody Kinser

Trio charged in Wells’ death face April 27 hearing By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com Handcuffed and shackled together around the waists and ankles, the three young men charged with firstdegree murder in the shooting death of 16-yearold Brett HIGHSMITH A. Wells learned on Friday that they will return on April 27 for a preliminary hearing. Wearing Pamunkey Regional Jail jumpsuits, Xavia S. Highsmith, 18, of the 2000 block of N. 28th Street in Richmond; Da’von T. Byars, 19, of the 1400 block of Mechanicsville Turnpike, Richmond; and Kevin M. Drayton Jr., 18, of the 8300 block of Rollins Lane in Mechanicsville; also have been charged with malicious wounding and the use of firearm in the commission of a felony. Wells was shot on Jan. 21 at a residence in the 7300 block of Verdi Lane in Mechanicsville. Court documents identify Highsmith as the shooter in
what an investigation by the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office called a prior arrangement made to buy marijuana from Wells. “However,� Sgt. Chris R. Whitley said, “the intention of the susp e c ts was never to purBYARS chase the marijuana. Rather, they intended to steal it. As a result, a physical altercation ensued during the transaction, which led to Wells being shot once in the chest.� As the three fled the scene, another shot was fired, striking another male. He was treated for a non-life-threatening injury at VCU Medical Center. With their attorneys by them, Highsmith, Byars and Drayton appeared before Judge P.L. Trible on Friday in Hanover General District Court. They looked around the gallery as they entered the courtroom before turning to face the judge. Afterwards, outside the courtroom, Brett’s mother
Shannon was surrounded by family and friends. “It was hard, very hard to come here today,� she said. “It was real hard to watch them come into court and look like nothing had happened.� Wells DRAYTON also said she would attend future proceedings. She
was wearing a T-shirt that had Brett’s photo on the front and a poem he wrote on the back. A prayer vigil for the five homicides that recently occurred in Hanover County was scheduled for the following day at Pole Green Park. Brett’s mom said they would be available for $10 each, with all of the donations going to the families of those violent crime victims. When asked if he would seek to have client Highsmith tried separately, attorney William J. Viverette said, “I don’t know at this point. I’ll have to evaluate the evidence after the preliminary

It also was recommended that the county continue to use standing or ad hoc citizen committees to study specific issues that can help grow and expand Hanover’s high speed Internet capabilities. The final recommendation was to have the county continue to research grants and state/federal funding opportunities designed to extend high speed Internet access to more citizens.

Prayer vigil unites community after tragedies By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com The cold weather and imminent snow didn’t dampen the spirits of more than 200 people who gathered on Saturday at Pole Green Park to pray together, console one another, and remember the five victims who lost their lives in violent acts in Hanover County since Dec. 17. Standing in a semicircle on the edge of the football field, some bowed their heads, others held hands and even clutched one another, and almost everyone cried. Lee Mitchell, a member of Hanover Evangelical Friends Church in Mechanicsville, led the surface by reading scripture
and Lisa Wright then read a poem. Ed Vinson, a pastor at Hanover Evangelical Friends Church, said the first prayer and, as he finished, invited anyone in the crowd to also pray. Several people spoke and asked for guidance, sympathy and peace. The group also recited The Lord’s Prayer. Kenny and Cathy Crowe attended the service to show support for the community. “We are members of the church putting on the service,” Kenny said. “We are here to pray for and support the families of the victims, our community and church.” The idea for the service was Mitchell’s. “I was talking

a newsletter for the patrons & friends of Lee-Davis High School Volume 24, No. 6 On January 11th, members of the Lee-Davis community attended the 2012 General Assembly Session and the Bicentennial Commemoration of the War of 1812. The event included a concert that was designed to celebrate the two hundred year anniversary of one of America’s “forgotten wars” by showcasing music written around that time. The climax of the event was a rendition of the most famous American poem to emerge from the War of 1812: the Star-Spangled Banner. All in attendance had a spectacular time and special thanks should be given to Delegate Chris Peace for sponsoring Lee-Davis at the event. Social studies teacher Stephen Salvato accompanied class members Rachael Chudoba, Samantha Perkins, Dillon Mundie, Maria Salgado, Stephen Hepper, Daniel Graves, Chelsea Matthews, Carlin Wetzel, Maddie Grimesey, Rudo Kashmiri, Sierra Lackey, Justin Hudnal, Zach Stevens, Zack Thomas, Steven Hall, and Cody Bowles. Junior Naveed Quarterman has been named as the Lee-Davis honoree for the Interfaith Council of Greater Richmond Brotherhood Sisterhood Youth Award for 2012. Students nominated for this recognition “have shown caring for others and have participated in activities that improve human relations and intergroup understanding.” Naveed and his parent have been invited to a dinner and award ceremony later this month in recognition of his honor. Congratulations to the staff and sponsor of the 2011 Confederate Yearbook. It has been selected to be included in the 2012 Ideas That Fly “yearbook yearbook,” a national Herff Jones publication of the best yearbooks in the country. Editors were Ashley Johnson, Montasia Golden and Maddie Muse; their sponsor is publications teacher Kathleen Trace. Librarians Ginger Palmen and Barbara Cassett, along with library secretary Terri Kidd, recently sponsored a Scholastic Book Fair for students and staff at Lee-Davis. A display of age-appropriate books invited students to browse and buy their favorites and register for a Book Fair giveaway. Congratulations to Tyler W. French, Michael Pemberton and Hailey Warren. This month the Beta Club helped to make the first annual Laurel Meadow science fair a success. L-DHS Beta Club showed elementary students the excitement in building a bridge, boat and tower. Tables were set up at the fair to allow the students of Laurel Meadow Elementary school an opportunity to explore and build various designs for each of the structures. Join the Beta Club on Tuesday, February 28th for an evening of exciting fun. Minute to Win It will be taking place in the Lee-Davis auditorium. Showtime begins at 7:00 pm.

In October, Lee-Davis partnered with Bill Talley Ford for a Drive One 4 UR School event as part of a public relations project coordinated through DECA. The goal of the event was to attract people to LeeDavis for a free test drive of a Ford vehicle. Ford donated twenty dollars for every test drive to the Lee-Davis Athletic Department as part of the community event. In addition, families also enjoyed a free rock climbing wall, sponsored by the US Army, face painting, a moon bounce, pumpkin decorating, a field hockey shootand-score station, and food from CiCi’s Pizza and Chick-fil-A. Overall the event was extremely successful, as Lee-Davis had over 237 test drives, and $4,740.00 was raised for the school’s athletic department. A check presentation was held at the school on Monday, January 30 with Ford staff and Lee-Davis DECA members, athletes, and administration.

John Libby named among world’s brightest young students John Libby, a student from Mechanicsville, recently was honored as one of the brightest young students in the world at a national awards ceremony for gifted children sponsored by The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY). The Center honored John, one of 50,000 participants in the 2011 CTY Talent Search, for his exceptional performance on the college SAT or ACT. Among the more than 700 U.S. and international middle school students invited to the ceremony on the Johns Hopkins University campus: ✏All earned exceptionally high scores on at least one section of the college SAT or ACT. ✏At least 87 achieved a perfect score on the reading or math section of the SAT or ACT. These exceptional students earned this opportunity for recognition by participating in the annual Talent Search organized by CTY (www. cty.jhu.edu). Since 1979, CTY has annually sought the most academically able elementary and middle school students, and encouraged their enrollment in CTY’s annual Talent Search. In 2010-2011, more than 50,000 students from 50 states, the District of Columbia and countries including China, South Korea and Canada participated in Talent Searches offered through CTY. Students enrolled in the Talent Search tested through the fall and spring. John, a student at Chickahominy Middle School, is part of a select group. Chosen from
more than 14,000 seventh and eighth grade testers around the world, honorees are selected because they have scored the highest on either the SAT or ACT – the same tests taken by collegebound juniors and seniors. Abovegrade-level tests, taken independently JOHN LIBBY from the pressures of mandated assessment, provide useful information to students, families and schools, giving a clearer picture of students’ academic capabilities. Students honored at the 2011 Grand Ceremony also have qualified for CTY’s residential summer programs, online classes and family academic programs, where gifted students meet others like themselves from all over the world and have an opportunity to stretch their creative and intellectual wings, and discover where their special talents may take them.

of two sons being shot — the vile attacks at these grieving families was not one of our proudest moments. Personally, I was attacked as the pastor leading the Prayer Vigil that, “You should have directly called out our community’s problems more forcefully;” “You should have shamed those involved;” “You should have condemned the accused . . .” You should have, you should have, you should have . . . (I suppose it’s safe to say we do not suffer the “weakness” of having a lack of opinions!) Yes, there were attacks on Facebook, blogs and pockets of conversations at grocery stores, restaurants and schools. There were calls of racism, hate crimes and more. Yet, I find that we get nowhere with empty rhetoric. Some of what has been said may be true, or even untimely, but there’s hardly anyone among us who hasn’t felt led at some point to champion one side or another. So I was pleasantly inspired to see where a massive crowd arrived at both the Prayer Vigil and funeral service for Brett [Wells]. I was impressed with the response to a meeting called for by the principal at Atlee High School for local clergy. Our Christian counselor and youth director joined me in attending this session where around 50 ministry professionals gathered to help develop an action plan for how the faith community can address all that our region is facing. I was saddened to hear of local high school graduates being victims with a fire while at college. I was grief-stricken to watch the coverage of a despondent father taking his own life and the lives of his twin 3-year old daughters, and for the most recent murder in the Beaverdam area of Hanover County. The lessons I have learned from these past few weeks are
that it takes real work to fight back against tremendous targets in order to impact the culture for good. You have to show up, you have to be present, you have to look at the problems head-on, not with one’s head in the sand. Quite honestly, you often have to take the more challenging path ahead, not the easy way out. And how much does that just stink? Wasn’t it easier when we could see the lame guy (i.e.: addictions, struggles, weaknesses) laying on the side of the road, and just walk on by? But as Scripture reveals in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we know that “walking on by” does very little to transform weakness into strength. Inaction only empowers weakness. “Walking on by” has been way too easy for way too long. Complacency helped us become who we now appear to be . . . yet complacency will not (and cannot) redefine our identity. But we can do the right thing. Scripture details the “right thing” as helping the lame guy back to his feet, taking him to the house just ahead, and seeing that his wounds are tended. This process of “lifting up” seems to be needed right now in our community: for healing, transforming, and strengthening the chain that is threaded throughout each part of our county. My prayers are with the families involved in the shooting incident, the murder-suicide, the fire and the assault. These families have already come to terms with the reasons each event has come to pass, and time will tell where things go from here. They all need our prayers; they all need our encouragement and support. They all need us to show up and be there to help their “new normal” take root and blossom into a redeemed future, free from the concerns that allowed us to arrive where we are now. My prayers are with our community. Perhaps the under-
statement in all of this: We’re not having an “easy” go of it, are we? This pain is heartbreaking. Some parts of this pain were avoidable or senseless, some not so easy to describe. Yet this pain is inevitable if we cling to a “false sense of security” that is based in pretending, hiding, or neglecting the facts that something has to change. Perhaps we need to rise up and work again to make dreams more of a reality. Yes, we need to cry out a word of hope, not despair. We need to be real with the facts and leverage as much good from these situations as possible . . . in healthy ways, not exploitive. For it seems we either all step up to the starting line together, or we all fail — together. I view this time in history as a pinnacle moment in our community’s story, and we cannot afford to get this wrong. So, if you hear negatives about our city, speak out, set falsehoods straight, provide examples of what your experience has been. My city, for instance, isn’t “dangerous” — but we do have things we need to work out. Hanover County is a place of passion, a place where people possess a true sense of community; this is an amazing location to call home. When you see negative behaviors, call them out, work to connect that person to a better way, get help, and love them enough to not leave them in harm’s way. Maybe this is the “hard conversation” about substance abuse or mental health, maybe it’s teaching a new way of life — free from hurts, habits and hang-ups. As you get the dialogue started, see where it takes you — someone’s life may literally be depending upon it. Confront racism, discrimination, prejudice and bigotry head-on in all forms . . . these patterns are wrong, they are immoral, they are not Christlike. Period. Try to live out the Golden Rule: Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
What would change if we were to love God, love one another, or have enough concern to remember that actions speak louder than words? Support one another. But let’s not limit how we support one another . . . you can do that through thousands of opportunities, right? The above list of correctives is not exhaustive, nor is it intended to be. It is simply a way to say we all can do something positive to help, and we all have a vested interest in getting this right. After all, who else needs to die before we “get it” that we (a) have problems and (b) we see LETTERS, pg. 21

need to fix them, together. Elected officials cannot do this task alone, nor can teachers, preachers, police officers, judges, principals or any other singular part of our community. It will require a collective allhands-on-deck effort, including all members of our tremendously blessed community. Is it registering at a local school to be a mentor? Is it participating in the lives of those who are most vulnerable — for instance, our kids, teens, parents and school faculties? Is it looking out for your neighbor? Is it praying for every part of our community? Is it helping whenever and wherever possible? Is it conducting a service project? Is it practicing random acts of kindness? Is it adopting the mindset that says our promise to the “future of tomorrow” is too important to fail, so will we do all that’s possible to position them for the best success possible? Well, bluntly put: you have to decide. I would submit the answer to all of these questions is a resounding yes, but I can’t make that call for anyone else. So I pray that you would agree to say yes that now is the time, now is the place, and now we will rally to enact the call for change. We will rally to kneel down, as Scripture instructs; we will pick up the “weaknesses” among our community’s chain,
we will give our all to strengthen those around us today, and we will work to make tomorrow its best. Chad Herndon Lead pastor New Song Church Mechanicsville www.newsongumc.org
Family gives thanks for care The family of Mildred Mitchell Martin would like to thank the many, many Hanover residents, family, friends and members of the Gethsemane Church of Christ for the kindness shown during our mother’s brief illness and death. She was a Christian woman who dedicated her life to caring for others. If you were fortunate to have ridden her school bus, or have been a parent of a child who did, during one of the 27 years she drove for Hanover County, you would know that she took the safety and security of the children very seriously. As a child, we called this “mean,” but as an adult we call this responsible and loving. In her latter years, she was referred to by many as “Granny” — not just by her own grandchildren and greatgrandchildren — because she exemplified the caring nature of a grandmother to many. At her funeral, the following poem was read. This was found in a nightstand in her bedroom

HANNAH LOIS RAYES and ROBERT LUKE SJOGREN to be married March 3, 2012
Mr. and Mrs. Louis Rayes of Scottsdale, Ariz., are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Hannah Lois Rayes, to Robert Luke Sjogren, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Sjogren of Mechanicsville.

Open burning restriction now in effect in Hanover Open burning is restricted throughout Hanover County beginning today (Wednesday, Feb. 15) and continuing through April 30. The Commonwealth of Virginia prohibits burning in or within 300 feet of woodland, brushland or fields containing dry grass or other flammable material before 4 p.m. or after midnight during this time period. “Atmospheric conditions are beginning to become more favorable for uncontrolled wild wood fires and this will only get
worse as we move forward with the seasonal change,” Judson Flournoy, chief fire marshal for Hanover County said. The 4 p.m. Burning Law comes into effect each year and is different from burning bans, which are invoked only during periods of extreme fire danger. Since forest fuels “cure” during the winter months, the danger of fire is higher this time of year than in summer when the forest and grasses are green with new growth. The 4 p.m. Burning Law is
an effective tool in the prevention of forest fires. Open burning is restricted at all times on property in the county’s Urban Services Area; properties zoned R-1, R-2, R-3, R-4, R-5, R-6 and RS; and anywhere in the Town of Ashland. For more information about burn regulations in Hanover County, visit www.co.hanover. va.us/fire-ems/burnlaw.htm or call the fire marshal at 365-6195.

50% OFF All Dental Work In February! A once yearly dental cleaning, much like the procedure performed by your dentist, can help prevent periodontal disease. A dental cleaning involves scaling of all teeth, checking for pockets of infection, loose teeth, and exposed nerve roots, as well as polishing. While a yearly dental procedure does provide cosmetic advantages such as clean teeth and fresh breath, it can also improve your petʼs general health. Infection and inflammation in the mouth can affect your petʼs entire body and can lead to other more serious medical problems such as heart & kidney disease.

Yellow Jackets get off to hot start despite snow Lee-Davis duo, Hawk freshman get things going By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com With temperatures in the low 40s and occasional glimpses of sun, the Randolph-Macon baseball opener was not as unbearable as it would become later in the day on Saturday when heavy snow forced a postponement three innings into the second game of a scheduled double-header. It was Lee-Davis alums Matt Musser and Jordan Walton who got things going and Hanover alum Zach Broaddus closed the door in extra innings as the Yellow Jackets downed St.
Mary’s (MD) 4-3 on opening day at Hugh Stephens Park. Veteran junior lefty Jamie Hendrick got the start for RMC but the visiting Seahawks looked like they would make noise early after John Stewart reached on a one out error. However, Hendrick got Stefano
Muscatelli to fly out to right then on what appeared to be a guaranteed RBI shot up the middle from Keith Johnson, Jackets’ senior centerfielder Brian Jordan made an incredPhotos by Charlie Leffler/The Local ible sliding catch to end the Above left: Lee-Davis alum Matt Musser had a highlight day going 3-for-3 with an RBI triple, a threat. stolen base, a run and an intentional walk.

No three-peat for Hawks in region wrestling Hanover comes in second to Matoaca By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local
Dave Lawrence/For The Local
Hanover’s Michael Flora, right, struggles against Matoaca’s Neal Richards in the Central Region 120-pound championship match.
Try as they might, the Hanover Hawks could not keep the Central Region championship from the juggernaut that was Matoaca. Hanover came in nearly 50 points behind the Warriors, 207.5-155.5, yet the Hawks still finished atop the field of mere mortals from the Capital, Central, Colonial, and
Dominion Districts. Cosby finished third with 141.50 points, followed by Midlothian (110) and Lee-Davis (100). Atlee finished 10th and Patrick Henry 21st. “You’re always aiming to win the title,” said Hanover coach Aaron Bradley, who had led the Hawks to the region title the previous two years. “I guess sometimes you have to settle for second.” Matoaca sent seven wrestlers into the final round, with four of those – Neil Richards (120 pounds), Kyle Gordon (126
pounds), Jamarr Hairston (132 pounds) and Corbin Ramos (182 pounds) – claiming the region titles. “I think we’ve finally pulled the first [region championship] home to Matoaca,” said Warriors coach Michael Moore. “It’s a blessing.” Moore was blessed with more than the win. He was named Central Region coach of the year. In addition, it was announced after the tournament that he will be inducted into the Virginia Wrestling Hall of Fame. He said he had a lot of
The Mechanicsville Local
help, though, from his Warriors and more. “They’ve been working hard to get it,” Moore said. “I have a couple of parents that have been working with me for the last five years to make it happen. … It was a lot of individual work that they put into it. It wasn’t my work, it was that they chose to do what I want done, and they did a great job.” Other Matoaca wrestlers heading to the state tournament this weekend at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax see WRESTLING, pg. 34 `
Ferbruary 15, 2012 33
Later a two-bagger up the middle by Walton drove in Meiners for a 3-0 advantage. It appeared as if R-MC would add to its lead in the bottom of the third after loading the bases with no outs. Freshman DH Tim Benjamin singled, Helbig was walked and Musser notched his second hit of the day on a successful bunt. But Meiners struck out then sophomore second baseman Kevin Carroll flew out into a double-play to end the inning. The Jackets also stranded runners in the fourth and fifth innings to leave the door open
for St. Mary’s in the sixth. Corey Napier led off with a double to center then advanced to second on a Johnson single. Napier then trimmed the R-MC lead to 3-1 on a sacrifice from Zach Nadolny. With two outs, Johnson reached second on a Nick Urso single then scored on an Alex Lenovitz shot to center. Leading 3-2 heading into the seventh and final inning of the double-header, Hedrick made the planned switch to freshman righty J.T. Williamson. “We pre-scripted it,” Hedrick said. “We knew exactly what we were going to do. We wanted to
make sure J.T. Williamson went out there with a clean slate at the start of an inning because we knew that just like any freshman pitcher, they’re going to be nervous and they’re going to have jitters, it’s going to be a little bit overwhelming.” Facing Williamson, Stewart led off with a single to right then knotted the game 3-3 on a Napier double to center. But Williamson bounced back to close out the side without further damage. R-MC had an opportunity to pick up the win in regulation when Jordan led off the bottom of the seventh with a triple to right center but he was left stranded. Williamson took down the side in the top of the eighth giving the Jackets another opportunity to go for the win. With one out, Broaddus sent a shot to short and beat out the throw to first. Next up, Jake Fletcher connected on a double which sent Broaddus home for the game winner. Both teams notched 10 hits in the contest and Williamson picked up his first win as a Yellow Jacket.

Tinsley said. “I was really excited for the finals match. I’d wrestled Randy two times before – it was actually our third time. Every time it’s been close matches. … It’s always good, good competition.” Gregory was pretty nonchalant about his first region title, earned by pinning Matoaca’s Hundley in 2:44. “All I did was stay in the room and kept working hard,” Gregory said. “He wrestled pretty good on his part. I just caught him.” Michael Flora (120 pounds) and Patrick Sorey (195 pounds), earned second-place finishes for the Hawks. Other Hawks qualifying for the state tournament include Henry Reeves, who finished third in the 220-pound
class, and fourth-place finishers Michael Engels (145 pounds) and Zach Erb (285 pounds). In addition to Loving, LeeDavis will be sending three wrestlers to the state tournament: Collin van Allen, who finished second in the 126pound class; and fourth-place finishers Chris Morris (106 pounds) and Sawyer Barksdale (120 pounds). “The guys came and battled and wrestled excellent,” said Lee-Davis coach Josh Tyler. “We’re taking four to the state – I’m excited about that. … I’d like to get a few state places, maybe even a state title for some of these guys.” Tyler complimented Matoaca’s victorious effort. “They’ve got a phenomenal
team, top to bottom. They’re all aggressive. They’re all excellent wrestlers. They’re very physical and their takedowns are outstanding.” Atlee is sending two wrestlers to the state tournament: Mario Ramirez, who was knocked unconscious in a freak head-butting accident with Cosby’s Ryan Taylor in the 285pound title match, and Isaac Mackey, who finished fourth in the 182-pound class. “Overall it’s been an improvement over the past couple of years,” said Atlee coach Steve Lagow. “We got more people in [the region tournament]. We were hoping to get a couple more to states, but like I’ve said before, we’re a young team. I’m happy with what we’ve done.

The two teams remained scoreless heading into the bottom of the second when R-MC’s Michael Helbig reached on a lead-off walk bringing Musser to the plate. The redshirt junior catcher out of Lee-Davis waited three years for his opportunity to start but he wasted little time making an impact. Musser took the first pitch from Devon Jerrard and blistered a rope past Stewart in right for an RBI triple, driving in Helbig for a 1-0 lead. “People with good attitudes are always going to find success at some point and Matt has maintained a positive attitude for the better part of three years,” said R-MC head coach Ray Hedrick. “His success is very well deserving. “I couldn’t have been happier to see Matt lead off in that role, that capacity,” Hedrick added. Freshman shortstop Nate Meiners reached via walk and stole second while Broaddus battled at the plate. A RBI groundout to second from Broaddus plated Musser to put the Jackets up 2-0.

a stolen base and was intentionally walked in his final at-bat. “He’s going to have a good year because he’s been very patient and all about the team,” Hedrick said of Musser. The second game of the double-header reached a scoreless third inning when snow started to fall. Things turned cold for R-MC as St. Mary’s quickly scored four runs on some well placed hits and lucky bounces. “I think it all, no pun intended, kind of snow-balled a little bit,” Hedrick said. The freezing temperatures and heavy snow most likely effected Helbig’s pitching. However, the game was soon called and it proved to be a teaching opportunity for Hedrick. “There was a lot of teaching tools both in the second game and the first game that I think we’re going to be able to use,” he said. Overall, Hedrick was pleased with the opening day performance. “I don’t think we were perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but I don’t think any team is necessarily perfect opening day,” he said. “We left too many runners on base and missed out on too many oppor-
tunities to separate from them early in the game. “Overall I thought it was an above average effort. The main difference between this year and last year is that we won that game. Last year we blew that game late, blew the lead late and we weren’t able to come back and overcome the adversity that we were able to overcome this year. I think that was a big character win for us. This year we were able to do the things to win that game whereas last year we didn’t.” R-MC returns to action Wednesday, Feb. 15 when they travel to Newport News to take on highly ranked Christopher Newport in a 2 p.m. start. “They are the team to beat in our region,” Hedrick said. “I think they are preseason #4-#5 in the country depending on what poll that you read. I think they’ve got all their hitters back including Billy Steel from LeeDavis. They’ve got two or three of their top arms back. “I expect it’s going to be a challenging matchup for us given the veteran experience they have and where they’ve been over the last year,” Hedrick said. “I think it will be fine but they’re going to be good.”
Patrick Henry’s Jake Harris also advanced to the state tournament, finishing fourth in the 170-pound class. Along with his Hawks, Bradley is looking forward to the state tournament. “I think the seven that we’re taking are ready to go,” Bradley said. “They’re pretty battle-tested. They’ve been around the state. We’ve been to Maryland, we’ve been to Delaware. They’ve had some top-shelf competition.” He knows they have more work to do, though. “There’s always improvements you can make after every tournament,” Bradley said. “We’ll go back to work and try to fix them on Monday and Tuesday.”

Patrick Henry’s Valasek takes All-Around title By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local After a long season and several hours of grueling competition, the gymnasts gathered at Deep Run High School had enough energy to take down and set aside physical evidence of the meet they had just participated in. They had enough energy to rush out in groups to see snow falling over Short Pump. They had enough energy to dance together to music blaring over the gym loudspeakers. Quite a few of them, led by members of the Mills Godwin and Atlee teams, will need a bit more energy for another kind of dance – the VHSL state meet at Salem High School in Virginia Beach this weekend. The Eagles narrowly edged the Raiders to claim the Central Region gymnastics title, 146.4 to 145.725. Host Deep Run finished third with a score of 141.5, and Patrick Henry finished fourth with a score of 135.35. “I feel ecstatic. This is the

happiest I’ve ever been as a coach,” said Mills Godwin coach Anna McLaughlin. “It is a huge accomplishment for our school and our team to go from third place last year all the way to first.” McLaughlin, who had added reason to feel ecstatic – she was named Central Region coach of the year – said newcomers to her roster made the difference. “We had some key additions,” McLaughlin said. “Two seniors, Megan Love and Alexa Cohen. This was their first and last year. Emily Cohen is a freshman, and Amirah Anderson
is also a freshman. They had had really strong scores and provide us with a lot of depth throughout our lineup. … Of course, our key girls – Emily Maynard, Maddy Greene and Kelly Price – that we’ve had, they also helped a lot.” Alexa Cohen won the uneven bars and tied for second – with Patrick Henry’s Kristen Valasek – behind Deep Run’s Lauren Stewart in the balance beam. Love tied Atlee’s Allie Lewis for the top spot in the vault, and finished second in the beam. Maynard edged Lewis for the top spot in the
floor performance. While the Eagles finished on top, Atlee had three of the top eight all-around gymnasts: Lewis, finished third behind AllAround champion Valasek and Lee-Davis’ Hannah Chenault. Brianna MacKay finished sixth, and Derika Banks finished seventh. “I’m so proud. They’re super strong and mentally, mentally tough,” said Atlee coach Donna Kohler. “They really poured it on.” Rounding out the top eight all-around gymnasts were Maynard in fourth place, Stewart in fifth, and Deep Run’s Megan Craig in eighth place. The top four – Valasek, Chenault, Lewis, and Maynard – advance to the state meet in the all-around competition. Valasek was named gymnast of the year. In addition to Chennault, Lee-Davis will be sending Anna Glascock to the state meet. Glascock qualified in the floor competition by finishing eighth. Lee-Davis coach Cy Witherow thought the Confederates might have done a bit better if not for a couple of events.
Raider boys and girls sweep swim titles By George Templeton Media General News Services Atlee High and Maggie Walker Governor’s School fought a back-and-forth battle for the Central Region boys swimming championship that came down to the final event, the 400-yard freestyle on Saturday at NOVA. Backed by fast final legs from Shane Condon and Jesse Burnley, the Raiders won the event to edge the Green Dragons for the team title by two points. “I knew it would be close when the (lineup) sheet came out,” Atlee coach Karen Seeber
said. “I had a talk with the team and I told them stay strong through the whole meet.” In the girls competition, the Raiders won one individual event but used their depth to win by 55 points. “We’ve got a lot of young, talented swimmers who’ve really come up this year,” Seeber said. “I thought we would be pretty good. We beat 22 teams at the Kecoughtan Invitational and we’re very excited about the state meet.” While the last relay pushed Atlee over the top in the boys competition, the first event of the night — the 200 medley
relay — provided the crucial difference. In a seesaw race where both teams led during the final leg, the Raiders edged the Green Dragons by .05 seconds. “When it’s that close, you really can’t tell who won,” MWGS coach Rob Sultzer said. At the first break, the Green Dragons led by two points. At the second break, it was the Raiders by one. “We wanted our swimmers to concentrate on swimming their best,” Sultzer said. “We didn’t want them to worry about the standings.” After the second break,
Burnley and Austin Glass finished first and second, respectively, in the backstroke and were among four Raiders who finished in the top seven to widen the lead to 12 points. Maggie Walker struck back in the breaststroke with four swimmers in the top six to take a two-point lead. “It comes back to our best swimmers swam well, but some of our other swimmers did better than we thought,” Sultzer said. “We had swimmers we expected to finish seventh, eighth and ninth, finishing fifth and sixth.” see SWIMMING, pg. 39 `
“I thought everybody had a good day. … Hannah Chenault had a great day,” Witherow said. “It’s just our bars weren’t very strong and our beam wasn’t very strong.” The balance beam especially was giving a number of teams trouble. “They all said it wobbled,” Kohler said. “If one girl says it’s wobbly, then they all think it is. That must have been the word on the beam today for all the teams, because there wasn’t that many stuck routines on the beam today.” Valasek is the only Patriot heading to the state tournament, but Patrick Henry coach Austin Beazley was ecstatic about the progress the Patriots have made this year. “Our goal this year was to break 130 points, and we did that on Wednesday at Godwin. We got a 131, and today we got 135.425 and we are so excited,” Beazley said. “We’ve come so far. I’m proud of all the girls.” At that point, she started to
tear up, but regained her composure. “I don’t care what place we got, we just improved a lot,” Beazley said. Hanover is sending Hannah Burruss to the state meet. Burruss finished seventh on the balance beam. “All my girls had good days” said Hanover coach Jessica Moore. “My seniors especially – I wanted them to have a good time today, and they all had great routines.” Mills Godwin and Atlee claimed the Colonial and Capital District titles, respectively. Deep Run finished second in the Colonial, followed by Patrick Henry and Douglas Freeman. Lee-Davis finished second in the Capital, followed by Hanover, Glen Allen, Henrico and Varina. Team scores: Mills Godwin 146.4, Atlee 145.725, Deep Run 141.5, Patrick Henry 135.35, Lee-Davis 133.85, Hanover 133.6, Glen Allen 123.35, Henrico 116.35, Douglas Freeman 111.3, Varina 109.275.

Jackets get textbook win over #3 Marlins By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Randolph-Macon got a textbook team effort to defeat #3 Va. Wesleyan 54-51 on Wednesday night. Every Yellow Jacket player that entered the game pulled down at least one rebound. Every player scored and no player scored more than eight points. Lamar Giggetts and Andre Simon led the Jackets with eight points each, Jamie Robinson Akeem Holmes and Trent Walker each added six, Adam Desgain and Calvin Croskey five, Dylan Cole and Marcus Badget four and Connor Sullivan two. “That’s the definition of team effort,” Desgain said. Simon agreed. “Just a team effort,” he said. “We’re working on unity and it shows tonight.” Holmes noted likewise “That says that we are a team,” he said. “We’re not no one player show. Everybody comes in and gives it their all. We all give it a good effort it’s not one player over any other. We were balanced today.

Nobody was in double figures which pretty much shows we can do this as a team.” The R-MC defense limited the Marlins to 29.8 percent shooting, pulled down 31 defensive rebounds, got six blocks, two each by Robinson and Simon, and nine steals, four of which came at the hands of Desgain.
“Defensively, in the quarter court we can guard you, we can make you fight for every inch, make you fight for every basket,” said R-MC head coach Nathan Davis. “Offensively we’ve got a lot of guys that do a lot of things very well.” The victory was much welcomed after the Yellow Jackets saw their 11-game win streak
stopped in an uncanny performance at Washington & Lee the previous Saturday. “Saturday it definitely wasn’t the same team,” Desgain said. “We knew tonight we needed to make a statement and show Saturday was a flute. That was not us. I think we did a pretty good job of that.”
Va. Wesleyan and RandolphMacon came into the contest at the No. 2 and No. 4 ranked teams in the region. Therefore the outcome would also play into NCAA Tournament seeding. On November 30, the Marlins pulled out a three point win on their home floor and
both teams expected this game to also go to the wire. The margin separating the two squads over the last six meetings is a total of 11 points. Though Yellow Jackets held a double-digit lead late in the first half and midway through the second of the rematch, see JACKETS, pg. 37 `

The Mechanicsville Local February 15, 2012
Saturday afternoon marked senior day for four RandolphMacon women’s basketball players; Taylor Wieczorek, Maggie Roy, Molly Brown and Jillian Asay. But the celebration of the final regular season home contest against Bridgewater was overshadowed by the importance of the game itself. Entering the contest with a 10-7 record in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference play, it was a must-win game for the Yellow Jackets. Likewise, with a 10-6 ODAC record, the Eagles where the most impor-
tant team for R-MC to beat. “They’re a very good team and just because it was senior day doesn’t mean we could take them lightly,” Roy said. Asay agreed. “Bridgewater beat us at their place so we definitely wanted to go in there and not let them have two up on us in ODACs.” Led by 24 points from Wieczorek and 21 points for Roy, the Yellow Jackets started the second half on a 16-5 run to break open a tight contest and take the win 79-65. Charlie Leffler/The Local Roy notched seven steals as Senior Maggie Roy (21) dishes the ball inside past a group of R-MC utilized pressure defense Bridgewater defenders.

Wesleyan repeatedly fought their way back into the game. Randolph-Macon appeared to have the contest sewn up when a short jumper from Badger gave the Jackets their largest lead, 52-41, with 4:15 to play. But it was the last field goal R-MC would make in the contest. The Marlins’ Donald Vaughn, who finished with a game-high 14 points, scored six straight and a jumper from Tre’ Ford trimmed the lead to three over a two minute span. Wesleyan added two more when Chris Teasley stroked a pair of free throws to make

and force Bridgewater into 30 turnovers for the game. “We know that a lot of teams are turnover prone when we pressure them on defense, so that was definitely our goal, to get up on them and pick up the intensity,” Asay said. Roy agreed. “We know that they like to push the ball and they like to go back door so we were really concerned about that, but we stepped up our defense and got a lot of tips on the ball and got a lot of passes and that was our game plan.” R-MC head coach Carroll LaHaye was pleased with the defensive effort. “When we play the kind of defense that we want to play, and we don’t always do that, and we haven’t always done that, but we know that we can force turnovers and I thought we did a really good job of that tonight,” she said. Hot shooting got the Jackets off to an early 17-8 lead but an 11-2 run by Bridgewater knotted the game at 19 midway through the first half. The Jackets twice pushed the lead back to seven only to see the Eagles come storming back.
the lead one with :31 seconds remaining. Even though the shot clock was off, Badger looked to widen the R-MC lead when he drove to the basket for a one-on-one layup off the inbounds. But the ball rolled off and Vaughn pulled down the rebound giving Wesleyan a chance to go for the win. However, with 18 seconds remaining, D.J. Woodmore turned the ball over. He then fouled Desgain with 5.6 seconds remaining, sending the senior guard to the line for a oneand-one and an opportunity to cushion the Jackets’ lead. Desgain admitted he was not as calm as he looked when he stepped to the line. “Down inside I was a little nervous but Freshman Sarah Parson’s, who finished the day with 17 points, three assists and three rebounds, gave the Jackets a little momentum by scoring on a rebound and put-back 50 seconds before halftime to make give R-MC a 31-28 lead. But that didn’t slow the Eagles. A second half three by Bridgewater’s Holly Morgan (13 points) capped a 10-6 run to give Bridgewater their first lead of the game, 38-37, two and half minutes out of the locker room. A Wieczorek layup was followed by a Parsons’ three top but the Jackets back on to put Jenny Logan (13 points) pulled the Eagles back within on with a three of her own. With 14:52 left in the contest and R-MC clinging to a tenuous 42-41 lead, Asay, a 15.8 percent 3-point shooter this season, was left wide open beyond the arc on the left side. “I don’t know it was just a spur of the moment,” Asay said. “I saw I was open so I decided I was going to shoot it.” It was not the shot the coaches wanted. “It’s kind of like one of those things as a coach, you see her shooting and you’re ‘Oh, you’re not the person you want
back to defend, Desgain stroked both shots then watched as Woodmore’s desperation three bounced off the back of the rim at the buzzer. “It looked good from where I was,” Desgain said. Marlins forward Chris Astorga (14 points) created problems for the Jackets’ defense in the first half by connecting on 3-of-4 3-pointers, while teammate Tre’ Ford went 2-for-2 from behind the arc as Wesleyan went to the locker room shooting 62.5 percent from deep.

“Every time he caught it they were there,” Davis said. “They were there so he didn’t get anything in rhythm. He had somebody on him all the time so it wasn’t just a catch and shoot and had to work to get a shot off.” On Saturday, R-MC Hanover alum Dylan Cole scored a career high 19 points and led the Jackets in a 110-72 rout of visiting Roanoke. The Yellow Jackets are now one win away from getting their 500th victory in Crenshaw Gymnasium. R-MC could reach that mark when they host Ferrum in their regular season home finale on Wednesday, Feb. 15. The game will also mark senior night for Desgain and Croskey.
sive rebound. The senior fell to the floor and did not move as play shifted to R-MC’s end of the floor. “I went down to get a layup and I turned around and she’s on the floor,” Roy said. “I was really concerned because she’s a huge part of our team.” Asay was eventually helped to her feet and ushered to the bench to be checked out. A few minutes later she was back in the game. “She’s a trooper,” Roy said. “Oh gosh, it made me feel great. It’s awesome to know that you have tough teammates around you that will come and play no matter what.” The senior day was especially sweet for Roy, Asay, Wieczorek and Brown after the way the
season began. After losing eight of their first 13 games, the group of Yellow Jacket seniors found the resolve to turn things around. “We just met up in the locker room one day and said we’re sick of losing,” Roy said. “There’s always a lot of struggles that you deal with,” Wieczorek said. “But just coming together as a team and realizing that without each person on the team you don’t have anything. We just tried to pull it together as a team and be as cohesive as possible and I think that’s what we were really missing in the beginning of the season. But as you saw tonight we played together more than we have any other game. It was fun to watch and it was fun to play in.” Now their careers has Yellow Jackets are quickly drawing to a close. “It feels like four years went by in five minutes,” Wieczorek said. “It was a sad day but we were all really excited to show our fans what we can do and show them our best in our last time out there.” The Yellow Jackets close out the regular season in Fri.Sat. match-ups at Roanoke and Hollins.

taking that shot’,” LaHaye said. Asay hit nothing but net and her three sparked a 19-7 R-MC run to give them their largest lead, 66-50 with 6:03 to play, from which they went on to seal the win. It was Asay’s only score in the game. “She has throughout her career come up with the shot when we needed the shot,” LaHaye said. “I was happy for her today. Her parents, her family, were here and to see her take that three and make that three when we needed it.”
The Yellow Jackets went through two scary moments in the game. Late in the first half, Parson’s slammed into the media tables while going for a steal. She eventually climbed to her feet and hobbled to the bench but returned in the second half, merely a warrior sporting one more bandage. “She’ll take them,” LaHaye said. “She’s just a hustler all the way around.” The far more distressing moment came late in the game when Asay took a shot in the head while going for a defen-

Raiders become heartbreakers once again Atlee edges past Lee-Davis 54-53 By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The first time Lee-Davis and Atlee faced off this season, it took three overtimes to decide the 105-102 outcome in favor of the host Raiders. When the two teams met in a rematch on Friday night in Mechanicsville, both expected a similar battle despite the fact that major players, who contributed a combined 70 points in that first contest, were no longer on the rosters for each team. The Confederates’ JD Harvey and the Raiders’ Ruben Rucker each scored 27 points in the initial meeting, neither played in the rematch. Likewise Atlee was without Kevin Drayton who scored 16 points in the first meeting. But a rivalry game is a rivalry game regardless of who is on the court and this one was a battle to the end before Atlee proved to be heartbreakers once more, edging out Lee-Davis 5453. “I told our athletic director after the game, for a sixth or seventh place team like us and

Confederates, never taking a moment’s rest to score 26 points and leaving his heart on the floor in the loss. It was obvious the two teams were not going to break the century mark this time around when the score was tied 7-7 with two minutes left in the first quarter. However, at the same time there was every indication that the game could also be headed towards overtime as the Raiders found an answer for every Confederate surge.

The period ended with LeeDavis leading 15-13 and Clark out-scoring Ratchford 10-9. By the close of the first half, Lee-Davis gradually widened the margin, leading 31-25 with six seconds to play. But Atlee’s Brian Miller swished a three from just across half court at the buzzer to cut that lead in half. Coming out of the locker room Lee-Davis took their larg-

The game unfolded as expected with the Confederates (13-9, 9-5 Capital) jumping out to a 27-7 first quarter lead then taking the win over the Raiders (3-19, 2-12) 73-41. The victory guarantees that regardless of what happens in the post season, Lee-Davis will finish the year with a winning record for the first time in‌ well, no one Charlie Leffler/The Local is really sure.

said. “He’s been stepping up lately and hitting a lot of big shots for us so it’s always nice to have a guy that can knock down the threes.” Clark momentarily reopened the margin for Lee-Davis on a put-back, but Ratchford found the basket once again then dished off to Ross Gardner to give Atlee their first lead of the game, 4039, with 54 seconds remaining in the third. That lead lasted 25 seconds as Clark put Lee-Davis back on top just before the end of the period. Brown gave the Confederates a 45-42 lead on a looping shot at the beginning of the fourth but Lee-Davis then went scoreless for over three minutes. Atlee took advantage. Ratchford connected on a

Gardner, Logan Bryan and Casey Price, the day has been a long time coming. As freshmen, Gardner and Bryant were part of a C-fed squad that finished with two wins and 20 losses. But when Coach Alvin Puller took over the team three years ago, he began an amazing transformation. “We went from two games up to 13 and it’s a tremendous change,” Gardner said. “Started out as a freshman and built it up to my senior year, actually being third in the district, that’s a huge, huge change.” However, Bryan said the four-year turnaround has not really come as a surprise. Bryan and Gardner were the forerunners of a talented group making the transition from Stonewall Jackson Middle School to LeeDavis. “I knew all the girls coming up had great chemistry,” Bryan said. “It would take a couple of years, but by my senior year we would have great
jumper and Rashawn Winters on a three. When Ratchford nailed both shots on a one-andone with 4:26 remaining, Atlee had pulled ahead 49-45. But then it was Atlee’s turn to go through a three minute draught while Clark scored on a dish inside from Autry then converted a pair of free throws to tie the game at 49. With 1:47 remaining, Autry calmly converted two free throws to put Lee-Davis on top 51-49. However, Randolf found gold once again for the Raiders, stroking third three of the night to put Atlee up 52-51 with 1:28 left in the game. There was under a minute remaining when Brown put up a three to give Lee-Davis lead. It missed but Clark was there to pull in the rebound and score on a put-back. With 21.1 seconds left, Ratchford drove into the paint,
drew contact from Austin Rice and made both free throws giving Atlee the lead once more. Lee-Davis had one final shot at the win inbounding the ball from the sidelines with 10.2 seconds remaining. Brown passed in to Autry who went back to Brown. When the guard tried to throw inside to Clark, Ratchford was there to get a hand on the ball and tip it way as the clock expired. “We decided we were going to go two-three and just try to deny them and try not let them score, keep them away from the basket,” Ratchford said. “We ended up getting a turnover so everything worked out good.” After battling through difficulties and losses all season, Reynolds was proud of how his team responded down the stretch. “We talked about that and tried not to talk about it too much,” he said. “But after the game I told them; there’s
other sports (at Atlee)- we have a great athletic program. I don’t think there’s a group at Atlee that represents our school better than these guys. They’ve handled a lot of adversity- The big thing is, I told them we can feel sorry for ourselves or we can just go forward. The bottom line is for those 32 minutes it’s two teams that’s just going and hitting each other in the mouth and that’s what sports is. “I’m extremely proud of these guys, not just for this win but for the way they’ve dealt with a lot of things this year.”
chemistry and be able to pull out the winning season.” Price came to Lee-Davis during her sophomore year but she was well aware of the basketball team’s past. “It’s amazing,” she said. “I wasn’t a part of it but they talk about it and it’s definitely a driving force to come from that low to up here is a good feeling.” The Lee-Davis players did not have to look far into their past to get a glimpse of where they came from. Atlee is currently undergoing rebuilding such as the 2009 Confederate squad. But Coach LaTanya Collins has her extremely young group playing hard and by their senior year they should have completed a turnaround as well. A cornerstone to that rebuilding process is the play of All-District second-teamer Steph Staples. Staples continued to provide and offensive spark even though she has been the focus of every opposing defense. But the team has grown because of her influence. Against Lee-
Davis, Staples scored 11 of the Raiders’ first 21 points. But when foul trouble began to mount for Staples (14 points), Katie Baldacci (8 points) and Jamari Blackwell (12 points) stepped up for the offense. However, it was ball-handling and turnovers that did more damage to the Atlee than lack of offensive production. Yet, that can largely be attributed to the smothering LeeDavis defense. Gardner, Price and Bryan combined for 16 steals. Many of Gardner’s game high seven steals came off Atlee inbounds plays that ended up as Confederate layups. Three of the first 11 Lee-Davis field goals came off steals. Sharing the ball also proved to be a huge asset for Lee-Davis. Six of the Confederates’ first 11 field goals came off an assist with Price (9 assists) leading the way. While Bryan (17 points) led the way in scoring among the seniors, it was All-District first team selection Caroline Naumann who did the most
damage in the post, scoring 20 points and pulling down nine rebounds. On Tuesday night at 7 p.m., Lee-Davis will host #6 seed Henrico in the Capital District quarterfinals with the winner earning a berth in the regional tournament. Though the Confederates will be favored in the contest, all three seniors recall last season when they were in a similar position only to be upset by Hanover. Gardner, Bryan and Price said that loss has been on their minds all year and is something that will not happen in this year’s tournament. Likewise, Price brings an added advantage to post season play from being part of the LeeDavis softball team that made back-to-back trips to the state championship game. “It really does, knowing what it’s like to win and bringing that over here,” she said. “Knowing what you have to do, the work you have to put into it and what it feels like to be on top, it definitely transfers over.”

But the last relay went to Atlee and was a testament to the team ethic Seeber stresses. “We can’t win a meet with just Shane and Jesse,” Seeber said. “I always say that when you can grab a point here or a couple of points there that can make the difference. It’s about 56 kids on one team.”

For Price, that key is simple. “Just do what we’ve been doing all year,” she said. “We practice hard. Our coaches give us great game plans and we just have to execute in games.” Likewise for Bryan. “Every single win we just keep building, building, building, building,” she said. “We don’t let up in practice we don’t let up in games.” Said Gardner; “If we keep this mentality, keep our mindsets that we want to go to region and possibly states, all we have to do it keep our minds straight, stay focused and keep that mentality and we will be a good team.” LEE-DAVIS 73, ATLEE 41 ATLEE (3-19, 2-12 Capital) — Staples 14, Mullen 0, Matthews 2, Smith 0, Blackwell 12, Baldacci 8, Tillson 0, Walker 3, Mueller 2, Gordon 0.
