Wilson to critics: Central Office faces cuts too

By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com As the Hanover County School Board considers a plan to save jobs originally targeted for elimination in the 2012-2013 budget proposal, the superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools took aim at critics’ claims that positions were not being cut in the

Central Office.

During the School Board’s regular meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 14, Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson said, “We’ve had reductions at the Central Office in each of the last four years and go there to make cuts before we go to the classroom.

In the last four years, we have reduced Central Office staff by 34.1 positions.”

She said five Central Office jobs were cut in 2009-2010 and 14.6 in 2010-2011. The proposed budget, which was presented on Jan. 10, called for 102.2 positions being cut — 14.5 of those in the Central Office.

Wilson’s comments stemmed from remarks made to the School Board and Hanover County Board of Supervisors alleging too many

employees at that level.

To balance the proposed $191.6 million budget, Wilson and her budget team had to overcome a projected revenue deficit of $13,955,299 and proposed cutting 88.4 full-time positions.

The latest proposal for coming up with the deficit is titled “Option 4,” and changes in four of 12 budget areas will save almost all

of the jobs once feared lost.

In the original proposed budget, reducing the number of senior teachers by seven would save $536,072. Under Option 4, four of the positions would be restored in middle schools with a savings now of $229,745.

fter serving Hanover County for 20 years, former Chickahominy District supervisor Robert R. Setliff decided it was time for a change.

“I was on the Planning Commission for 12 years and the Board of Supervisors representing the Chickahominy District for eight,” he said.

“When it came time to decide whether or not to run again, I decided it was time for a change.”

Setliff said he thinks the new Board of Supervisors — with three incumbents and four new members — is a good mix. One of those new

Another budget-balancing concern was the early-retirement program. Charla S. Cordle, assistant superintendent for Human Resources, told School Board members about two proposed changes that could generate a $1.1 million savings.

The first proposal would change the percentage of pay from 21 percent of a participant’s final compensation to 10 percent. The second change would increase the required time for participation from 25 days to 30 days.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Only 2 candidates on March 6 GOP ballot While the Republican presidential campaign has been dominating the national news for some time, the usual clamor about an election in Hanover County is practically muted.

Since only two candidates — Ron Paul and Mitt Romney — appear on the March 6 ballot, the normal buzz has been limited.

Looking ahead, we can expect more activity as the June 12 Democratic and Republican primaries near.

As always, this column will be dedicated to encouraging you to get out and vote.

If there’s an election, we should be there — no matter how many candidates or issues are on the ballot.

We expect — and welcome — your input and feedback in the forms of letters to the editor and postings on our Facebook page (www.facebook. com/mechlocal).

In a sputtering for survival economy, your voice can be heard at the polls.

Yes, you can make a difference. These are words that will be repeated.

In the meantime, with March 6 around the corner, plan to vote. There may be only two choices, but it’s up to you to determine who proceeds in the process.

For more information on the candidates, visit http://www.ronpaul2012. com and http://www.mittromney.com.

☞ As has been mentioned here before, there are Hanover County residents who struggle with Internet service. A committee appointed by the Board of Supervisors reported its finding at the Jan. 25 meeting of the board. While some of us may take high speed Internet service for granted, our neighbors in the eastern and western part of the county are not so fortunate. Their service is costly and sporadic. Here’s the question: Should the county become involved in helping provide better service? Any thoughts?

The Ashland Firehouse Theater, managed and operated by the Ashland Community Theater Foundation (ACT), will open its spring season of Firehouse “Free-for-All” movies on Saturday, Feb. 25.

The movie, starting at 7:30 p.m., will be the 1966 Academy Award Best Picture, A Man for All Seasons.

In addition, the winners of The Ashland Oscars (Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress) will be announced before the movie.

The slate of Firehouse movies covers drama, comedy, several family movies, a foreign film, and, for the first time in more than 80 years in Ashland, a silent film accompanied by piano.

All these Firehouse movies are free to the public.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and all the movies will start at 7:30

p.m.

These upcoming movies, and the 11 Firehouse films screened last fall, are the consequence of the support received for the Firehouse Theater from individuals and businesses in the community.

The Fall 2011 fundraising campaign exceeded its goal and enabled ACT to increase the number of free movies.

In addition, plans are underway for several civic events aimed at raising funds for charitable causes.

Ragan Phillips, spokesman for ACT and the Firehouse, said “Selecting the movies to be screened is quite an interesting task. If you ask five people to select five great movies, you may very well get 25 different films. Everyone has favorites so we try to balance our listings.

One goal is to maintain our core value by showing movies

Phillips added, “For example, our opening movie is A Man for All Seasons and our final movie is The Caine Mutiny. The main characters in these two movies, Sir Thomas More played by Paul Schofield and Lt. Cdr. Philip Francis Queeg by Humphrey Bogart, have vastly different personalities but, in the end, both are severely judged by a jury. And Judy Holiday as the irrepressible Emmie ‘Billy’ Dawn in our March 3 movie, Born Yesterday, has a lot to say about political lobbying. Judgment, corruption, human values and moral issues; we hope that our movies will serve as a catalyst to encourage thought and dialogue about these matters.”

BILL TALLEY FORD’S STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE TO BUYING A CAR: Most customers do not know how easy it is to buy a Vehicle from

Bill Talley Ford, so we want to let you know what to do and how to do it.

• Come by and speak with one of our Ford Master Certified Sales consultants.

• He will sit down with you and ask a few questions to find out the type of vehicle (Car, Truck, SUV or CUV) you are interested in, and help you select the one that meets your needs.

• Your consultant will show you all the features and options highlighting the ones that will benefit you and your family the most.

• Your consultant and you will then take the vehicle for a test drive. Once you feel comfortable with the operation of the vehicle, he will then turn the driving over to you.

• Once you get back to the dealership, you and your consultant will then go over all of the figures (pricing, trade in values and payment ranges).

• Once you agree to all the figures, you will then sit down with one of our financial specialist who will then complete the paperwork.

Now, for the best part we make sure your new vehicle is fill with gas and clean. While this is being done, we will introduce you to your service advisor who will set up your first free maintenance appointment which is standard on New vehicle purchases. Once your vehicle is ready to go, you and your sales consultant will complete the vehicle checklist with you.

See how easy it is! We would love the opportunity to show you!!

On Sunday, Feb. 26, the 84th Academy Awards (The Hollywood Oscars) will be presented in the glitter and celebrity of Hollywood. But Ashland will be there first.

On Saturday, Feb. 25, The Ashland Firehouse Theater will reopen for its spring series of Firehouse Saturday Evening Movies and will announce the winners of “The Ashland Oscars.”

The Firehouse is asking everyone in the community to cast their vote for Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Actress.

Results of “The Ashland Oscars” will be announced at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 25 just before

the Firehouse Saturday Evening Movie — and a day ahead of Hollywood.

The Firehouse would like everyone to vote, not for who they think Hollywood will select, but vote for the “Best” by your own personal definition.

Winners of “The Ashland Oscars” will be screened next year as part of the “Firehouse Saturday Evening Movies” series. Nominations for the three categories will be found on the group’s website, Ashland FirehouseTheater.org, along with instructions on casting your vote for “The Ashland Oscars.”

The playground at Poor Farm Park is about threefourths complete, but another $35,000 is needed to finish it.

The playground at Pole Green Park is now complete.

When I visited it a few weeks ago on a cold Sunday afternoon, to my surprise, it was in full use with kids and parents everywhere.

It’s rewarding to see children with and without disabilities side by side enjoying the playgrounds.

This spring it will be eight years since the beginning of Opeartion Hope. The overwhelming involvement of so many individuals, student groups, civic associations and businesses is another example of Hanover County being such a true premier community.

Prayer ‘a first line of defense’ In light of the recent tragedies in our county, we, as a church, felt a deeper burden to pray more intentionally for our community.

Private Condos available for kittens.

My husband and I are avid animal lovers, and have over the years taken in many stray cats.

While we love all animals, our passion is care and rescue of cats. We lost two of our own pets in the last 24 months to old age, and cancer.

We adopted a young cat a year ago, and made application with the Hanover Humane Society to adopt another.

(We have always limited our-

selves to no more than five pets at a time because of the cost of feeding and medical care.)

I would like to make an effort to change the processes used by Hanover Humane Society in review and placement of animals. It seems apparent that finding good homes for the animals housed there is not the primary objective of the facility. Their processes need to change to open up adoption to more folks without fear of being denied without cause.

I made application for a young kitten after viewing the animal at a local Pet Smart. The application is a bit extreme — and their review process unreasonable — but I completed the application without any thought that my husband and I would

She is in the English Language Arts Department at Hanover High School. At right, Rhonda Epling, center, principal of Pole Green Elementary School, congratulates Laura Cooper, a science teacher at Lee-Davis High School, right, and Melissa Throckmorton Taylor, left, the art teacher at Cool Spring Elementary School, as they achieve National Board Certification.

9 teachers attain national board certification The Metropolitan Education Training Alliance (META), a partnership among Hanover, Chesterfield, Henrico, Richmond City Public Schools and the School of Education at Virginia Commonwealth University, recently honored this year’s teachers who achieved National Board Certification.

Nine Hanover County Public School educators attained the certification and participated in an official pinning ceremony on Jan. 12 at VCU. They are: Jodi Anderson-Jones, Henry Clay Elementary School; Laura Cooper, LeeDavis High School; Julie Goode, Pole Green Elementary School; Faith Johnson, Beaverdam Elementary School; Amy Lott, John M. Gandy Elementary School; Frannie McMillian, Hanover High School; Allison

Silva, Stonewall Jackson Middle School; Erin Sommar, Mechanicsville Elementary School; and Melissa Taylor, Cool Spring Elementary School.

Hanover has 72 National Board Certified teachers employed with the division.

Through the process, teachers participate in a rigorous systematic analysis of their teaching practices. This advanced learning opportunity enables educators to deepen their knowledge of subject matter and become more skilled in their daily classroom instruction and student assessment.

The National Board Certificate demonstrates that the individual has met the highest standards established for the profession.

be denied. I offered the two referrals that they requested, and allowed our complete veterinary records to be opened to them to provide proof that my husband and I take the placement and care of our own pets very seriously.

I know that my reference (they only contacted one), and my veterinary office gave us the highest recommendation for care of our pets. It seems the facility would prefer to house animals in small cages over placing them in loving homes.

I have e-mailed the facility to inquire why my husband and I were denied. I have not received a response.

We should not be forced to

look outside the heart of our community to seek animal adoption.

cul-de-sac. It seems someone who is either lazy, ashamed or maybe even cowardly, has called the police. Four tickets, perhaps thousands in fines and an impounded motorcycle later, his day has changed dramatically.

Now I wonder . . . when did we become this society, when we sit in our homes and call the police instead of simply talking to the person with whom you have issues?

How many times have I been in my home and listened to your late night parties with loud music, listened to your dog bark too loud and too long, listened to your children yell and scream as they take over the cul-de-sac playing, listened to your child practice shoot his new hunting rifle or had a miss-thrown baseball sail into my yard, hitting and denting my car?

Have I ever considered calling the police? No, this is life in a neighborhood.

There is noise and activity and, occasionally, perhaps it bothers us. That doesn’t mean that you can’t give the person offending you the chance to right the situation before calling the police.

These young men would have apologized for interrupting your afternoon and gladly stopped at your request. I certainly hope you are proud of

your decision . . . the punishment for this, in my opinion, far outweighs the “crime.�

It is easy to sit inside and anonymously use social and telephonic media to affect those that are supposed to be our neighbors. Just an opinion . . .

Seniors biggest healthcare losers It is now clear that the biggest losers in the ObamaCare statist healthcare overhaul are America’s seniors and those approaching retirement age.

Consider these shocking facts: � According to Obama’s own chief actuary in the

Department of Health and Human Services, ObamaCare will savage Medicare by cutting $575.1 billion in this decade alone. � ObamaCare will affect all aspects of health care for seniors — coverage, prices and access. � “Medicare Advantage� — the popular program which gives seniors more choices in healthcare — is already being decimated by ObamaCare with major insurers dropping the plan altogether and Obama’s actuary projecting a 50 percent reduction in the program by 2017. � And then there’s the reality of healthcare rationing that will be implemented by ObamaCare’s “Independent Payment Advisory Board� — appointed by Obama with the power to make Medicare rationing decisions without Congressional oversight!

Of course, many seniors have been kept in the dark — even deceived about ObamaCare by the nation’s largest membership association of seniors, AARP. From the onset, the AARP aggressively lobbied for passage of ObamaCare.

Even as these troubling details emerged, AARP continued its staunch support of Obama’s plan...

The reason?

AARP stands to reap billions in profits by offering gap coverage as a direct result of deep cuts in Medicare.

This “grand deception� created by Obama and aggressively promoted by the AARP that seniors support ObamaCare is a lie now threatening the health care of every senior and the solvency of our nation.

With American seniors now at serious risk due to ObamaCare, and AARP essentially turning their backs on the concerns of seniors. buyer beware.

Daniel Gregory Mechanicsville

Thanks for never faltering I would like to thank Steve Sneed for his wisdom and reason, and also for never faltering in his belief of the truth.

I have to admit that I have held back my beliefs for the rudeness that I have encountered.

Now I find that it is time for those of us to come forward and be counted.

Thanks, Steve, for your letters, and I look forward to reading many more.

Physical game ends in Hanover heartbreak Hawks fall to Varina on last second shot

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The buzzer sounded and the Hanover basketball players stood around their home floor in shock. Their Capital District quarterfinal opener against Varina had ended in a way no would could have predicted.

Trailing the Blue Devils by 16 points with 2:39 left to play in the third quarter, the Hawks made an incredible comeback to get back into the contest.

With nine seconds remaining, Hanover’s Justin Peebles connected on two free throws to tie the game at 73-73.

However, the defensive that limited Varina to one field goal for 4:30 of the fourth had a lapse with the one remaining second and allowed Donavan Dowling to get free on a snowbird play for a layup and a 75-73 Blue Devil victory.

Hanover head coach Darren Thornton tried to explain the last second breakdown. “I think we were just looking to go into the overtime because Justin had just made those two free throws to tie it up, and just not probably realizing how long (nine) seconds really is,” he said. “I think the guys played defense and thought that, that was enough time for us to get it to go into overtime and there was still another two or three seconds left.”

“Unfortunately we were one

shot short,” said Hawk guard Sam Rogers. “One player getting back short, a little miscommunication, but I’m really proud of the way they fought back all season.”

Though the final score came down to the one play, there were many others throughout that contributed towards the loss.

With a Central Region berth going to the winner, the game was one of the most physical contests any of the players had ever played in. From the opening tip, the officials let the two teams go at it and everyone on both sides took full advantage.

As the starting quarterback for the Hawks’ football team, Rogers is used to contact, but even he was a little surprised at how rough it was on the bas-

ketball court. “That was a really physical game,” he said.

Thornton agreed. “Yeah it was a physical game and I guess the intensity of the game made it a lot more physical than normal too.”

Though hard contact most likely contributed to missed layups early, none of the Hawks blamed the officials. “Sometimes you feel like you’re playing five on six but it’s like there’s always going to be adversity or something to fight against,” said senior forward Tyler Shannon.

“Not everything is going to go your way and you’ve just got to fight through it and we fought through it as hard as we could.”

Work in the paint gave the Hawks an early lead and a pair of free throws from Nick Douglas

Dowling was not whistled for a foul on the play even though Brown was knocked to the floor.

(13 points) put Hanover on top 8-4 lead with 5:40 in the first.

But at the same time it appeared Varina began to understand that contact was not going to be called in the paint and the Blue Devils went to work neutralizing the Hawks’ drives to the basket.

From the 6:19 mark of the first quarter until 4:33 remained in the half, Hanover’s only goals came on put-backs of missed shots.

Meanwhile Varina found just enough open space in the Hanover defense to get off clean shots. At the five minute mark of the first, Ricky Sullivan (18 points) gave the Blue Devils their first lead 9-8 on a short jumper.

Shannon quickly reclaimed the lead for the Hawks with a rebound put-back, but Hanover

did not score again in the quarter.

Sullivan struck again, Brandon Ingram added a plusone field goal and Kevin Willis scored off a dish from Chris Rhem. When Sullivan hit his third shot with 14 seconds remaining in the first, Varina led 18-10.

Desmond Dowling then pushed the margin to 20-10 to start the second.

While Varina was using their physical nature to neutralize Hanover’s scoring, the Hawks were doing likewise to create havoc with Blue Devil ball handling.

layup for the Hawks, but the basket resulted in the first of several inadvertent calls that went against the home team.

The officials waved off Brown’s basket and instead said that Sullivan had intentionally fouled Hanover’s Donte Hayneworth on the opposite end of the floor. Haynesworth missed both free throws.

“I would say give me the points instead of stopping the play because I knew this was going to be a tight game and every point was going to count,” Thornton said. “That could have been good momentum for us to get that bucket. Plus those two free throws then get the ball back also, so that’s a six-point turnaround.” see HANOVER, pg. 34 `

HANOVER Continued from pg. 33 b

Instead, the Hawks went scoreless in the sequence and Donavan Dowling connected for a 22-10 Blue Devil lead.

The Hawks scrambled to get back into the game on a put-back from Peebles, steal and layup from Jordan Wade and a putback from Douglas to trim the margin to 22-16. But Hanover made one field goal over the next two and half minutes and Varina reopened the lead 37-23 heading into the locker room.

It looked as if the Hawks would get the margin back to single digits midway through the third when Peebles drilled a three from the left baseline.

But once again the officials stepped in and waved off the goal.

“That was another inadvertent whistle,” Thornton said. “Every time there was an inadvertent whistle was when we were scoring. They say they called a foul earlier before that and the play was killed. But I’d rather have the points, everybody was still playing.”

But in this instance, the official’s explanation was further on the fringes of the rulebook.

“The other part of the inadvertent whistle with the Justin three was that Varina only had four men on the court,” Thornton said. “They kind of gave them a pass to bring that other guy on and (the official) said it was an inadvertent whistle and he was waving him on.”

Instead of getting the lead to nine, Varina came up with the ball and took their largest lead of the game, 51-35 when Ingram then Rhem scored with 2:39 left in the third.

Hanover managed to trim the lead to 51-38 with 1:39 remaining in the period when suddenly the game underwent a major shift.

Through the first 22:21 minutes of game action, a total of 15 fouls were called. In the final 10:39, the two teams amassed 25 fouls.

Haynesworth was whistled for a foul on defense and seconds later, Peebles also drew a foul when he swatted away the hand of a Varina post player that was trying to keep him from fronting. Peebles shouted in frustration, was given a technical and Sullivan added two more points to the Varina lead.

When Rhem stroked a three with 33 seconds remaining in

the third, the lead was 56-41 and the game appeared to be all but over.

But the Hawks did not see it that way.

“We just rallied together,” Shannon said. “We knew that this was our last go around if we didn’t pull it together.”

“We just didn’t want to lose, especially us seniors,” said forward Xavier King. “Last game, so we just wanted to put it all on the line.”

For Thornton, the Hawks started playing the way they had late in the season. “We just picked up a notch on defense and the guys really got after it and were scrambling all over,” he said.

Added to the defensive pressure, the Hawks began making shots. “I think we settled down,” Thornton said. “I think we were pressing throughout the whole game. Just the excitement of the whole tournament… In the second half we settled down a little bit and didn’t press as much.”

It was Brown leading the charge. With 22 seconds remaining in the third, the sparkplug guard stroked a three. He then set up to draw a charge on Sullivan.

Seconds later, he dished off to Wade for a score and Hanover

was within 10, 56-46 heading into the fourth.

The Hawks kept chipping away and with 1:55 remaining, Brown stroked his third 3-pointer of the night to pull Hanover within five, 65-60. Seconds later Brown (24 points) added a pair of free throws and the Blue Devil lead was three.

With 1:12 remaining, Sullivan widened the lead, 67-62 on a put-back but Peebles answered with a three from the right wing and the lead was two.

Then the officials took center stage once again.

With under a minute to play, Varina moved the ball to midcourt and Brown dashed in for a steal. He was instead whistled for a foul. The hyperactive player reacted by silently jumping up into the air. He was given a technical, which was his fifth foul and removed him from the game.

Thornton said the official never explained the technical.

“He didn’t give me a reason why he tech-ed him up,” the coach said. “But that’s the only thing that he could have done because I know (Brown) didn’t say anything. It was probably because he jumped up and down when the foul was called.”

Sullivan went to the line

for four free throws but only connected on two. Yet, on the inbounds he was fouled by Rogers and went back to the line, stroking the pair for a 71-65 lead with 51 seconds to play.

On Hanover’s possession, Rogers was fouled, made the first free throw but missed the second. The Hawks got the ball back and Shannon swished a three with 21 ticks left on the clock top pull the Hawks within two.

On the ensuing play, Donavan Dowling leaked out for what appeared to be an uncontested layup, but Shannon came flying in to swat the ball away for what appeared to be a clean block. Instead, Shannon was tagged with his fifth foul and joined Brown on the bench.

“I thought it was a clean block, a clean play and I told him that as soon as he came to the sideline,” Thornton said. “It was definitely a hustle play on his part, just a good effort and overall good play.”

Dowling missed both free throws leaving the door open for the Hawks. Hanover got the ball to Peebles for a three on the right wing and he was fouled by Sullivan. Peebles missed the first but made the next two to tie the game and set up the disappoint-

ing outcome.

Though tears were falling in the Hanover locker room after the game, Thornton’s words to his team were supportive.

“There shouldn’t be anything to be ashamed of because our guys fought back,” he said. “It would have been easy to quit and not battle back but that’s the type of kids we have. They won’t give up.”

With is career now over at Hanover, Shanonn thought back on his time with the Hawks. “I’m proud of my team,” he said. “We worked as hard as we possibly could. We worked hard all year long and I think this was the ultimate test to bring us together and I think we came together more than ever, we just didn’t get the outcome we were looking for.”

It was also the final game for seniors Chris Childress and Xavier King.

Through all the trials and tribulations, Highland Springs found solace in running fast.

Of the 75.5 points the Springers scored Saturday at the Central Region Indoor Track and Field Championships, 56 came from the sprints as the Springers knocked off defending region champion Atlee at the Arthur Ashe Center.

“I’m real happy for my kids,” said coach Matt Gifford. “We had to overcome the death of our shot-putter, Dashawn Lewis; we had to overcome injuries, we had to overcome the neighborhood we’re located in and we had to overcome talk of there being only one state threat from our region. What our kids did was phenomenal.”

Freshman Marcus Taylor finished second, and senior Leon Pollard was fourth for Highland Springs in the 55 meters; and junior Devon Thompson and senior Raysean Martin were second and fourth, respectively, in the 500. Thompson won the 300, and Pollard earned a thirdplace finish in the 55 hurdles.

The Springers finished third in the 800 relay and second in the 1,600 relay.

“Today was just one of those days that you ask the kids to do the right thing and they responded the right way. It was a total team effort,” Gifford said.

After trailing by 13.5 through 11 events, Atlee gained 11 points in the 1,000 with junior Griffin Carmichael finishing second and junior Chad Jacob finishing sixth to pull within 2.5 points.

The Raiders would get no closer. Atlee finished second

with 70 points.

Matoaca junior Jamarian Bates won the long jump and finished third in the triple jump.

“My performance went well, but I expected to do better in the triple. I was very tired, but no excuses,” Bates said. “It’s sad to know that this is my last meet at the Arthur Ashe Center, but I’m excited about how I did.”

J.R. Tucker’s Nick Simmons had a successful defense in the high jump. He also captured the hurdles title.

“I don’t really think of it as a big deal,” the Tigers senior said of his consecutive region championships. “I’ve been running track for a really long time, so to me winning isn’t really the big thing, but what marks I get.”

Douglas Freeman was third with 44 points, and Manchester finished fourth with 35.

Atlee’s Jacob, sophomore Bizz Alidost, senior Brandon Hunt and Carmichael took the 4x800 Relay with a time of 8:27.61. Hunt, Carmichael, senior Matt Combs and sophomore David Segovia also won the 4x400 Relay with a time of 3:39.78.

Sophomore Nathaniel Hall picked up a win for the

Raiders in the 1600 with a time of 4:30.81. Hall also came in third in the 3,200 with a time of 9:46.63.

Atlee senior Dre Bennett took third in the high jump by clearing 6-2 while Segovia was sixth with a height of 5-10.

Senior Cole Stout claimed third in the shot put with a throw of 48-9 ¾ and senior Trey Rydel was third in the pole vault, clearing 12-6.

Lee-Davis junior Russell Munn took sixth in the shot put with a throw of 47-0 while sophomore Paul Adam was fifth in the 1000 with a time of 2:44.39.

Patrick Henry junior Travis Phillips came in second in 55 hurdles with a time of :07.83.

Hanover senior Kenny Spurlock came in sixth in the 55 with a time of :06.74. Senior James Poyer was fourth in the 1600 with a time of 4:33.17.

Yellow Jackets escape Panther trap 72-60 R-MC claims 500th win in Crenshaw Gymnasium

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Senior night for RandolphMacon guards Calvin Croskey and Adam Desgain was not a thing of beauty. But the pair could not have been more pleased that the Yellow Jackets came away with a 72-60 win over visiting Ferrum College and notched a historic 500th win in Crenshaw Gymnasium.

The non-conference game against the Panthers presented the perfect trap game for RMC after an emotional week of ODAC competition and a matchup with arch-rival Hampden-Sydney looming.

Early on it appeared the Yellow Jackets would get caught in that snare. “We knew we had come out focused, play hard and in the beginning we weren’t as focused,� said R-MC freshman guard Marcus Badger.

Sophomore guard Jamie Robinson agreed. “They caught us sleeping in the first half,� he said.

One minute into the con-

test, Ferrum broke out of a 4-4 tie and went on a 14-5 run, giving R-MC thoughts of their recent lapse; a blowout loss at Washington & Lee. With 6:28 left in the first, the lead had grown to 12 and Panther guard Marcus Mayo had scored 13 of Ferrum’s first 25 points as he repeatedly found ways to get open and hit big shots. “We were too busy trying to play one-on-one defense and that’s just not us,� Robinson said.

But unlike their loss at W&L, the Jackets seemed to flip the switch for a boost of energy.

“We finally got together; said ‘Let’s strap up, play together as a team,’ and that’s what we did,�

Badger said.

Trailing 28-16 with less than six minutes remaining in the half, R-MC’s Lamar Giggetts drove inside for a score, Croskey drilled a three and Robinson pulled down a defensive rebound, drove the length of the floor and scored to pull the Jackets within five, 28-23.

The lead was still five with 1:35 left in the half when Andre Simon then Croskey each converted a pair of free throws to make margin one.

Simon then scored on a layup in the final seconds to give R-MC a 33-32 lead heading into the locker room. “We started to get some stops,� said Jackets’ head coach Nathan Davis. “(Ferrum) started to take some hard shots. It let us get out and change the tempo of the game and wore them out down the stretch of the first half and we were able to get some easy baskets because of that.�

The momentum evened out in the second half and the game turned into a seesaw battle. For every lead R-MC took, Ferrum found an answer.

It seemed everyone in Crenshaw Gymnasium was

waiting for the Yellow Jackets to take a two score lead so they could breath. “I think it’s always like that,�

Robinson said. “I think the fans, they’re not ready for that suspense. We’ve been through it.

We’re battle tested. We don’t really get that rattled or shook.�

With 4:37 to play the teams entered their 10th tie of the game, 58-58, and it appeared the contest would go to the wire.

But freshman guard Trent Walker dished out to Hanover alum Dylan Cole for a 12-foot jumper giving R-MC a lead it would not relinquish.

A plus-one field goal from Badger pushed the Jacket lead to five but it was his assist moments that seemed to seal the deal.

Leading 63-58 with 1:54 to play, Badger drove the ball down the left side of the foul lane. With

his back to the basket, Badger extended the ball towards the baseline with his right hand and the Panther defense reacted to the fake. Instead of dishing inside, Badger reversed the pass out to an open Giggetts for a 10foot jumper and a comforting 65-58 lead. “I knew they were going to collapse on me because the pick and roll kept on working,�

Badger said. “The look back was there and we practice that in practice so I knew was going to be there.�

Davis was pleased with his team’s response after starting the way they did at W&L. “I don’t think we were our best but we found a way to make enough plays,� he said. “Last time we didn’t play very well and ended up getting blown out. But we found a way to make enough plays to get back, got the lead, then we were able find a way

at the end to stretch it out and walk away with a victory.�

Getting the 500th victory in Crenshaw sweetened the outcome. “It feels pretty good to be a part of it,� Robinson said. “It’s just been a really fun season.

We’re all growing and learning and getting better as the year goes on.� “It’s pretty special to be a part of that,� Simon said. “It’s great to be a part of that.�

While the victory had no impact on the ODAC race, Davis said keeping R-MC’s winning streak going was very important when it comes to post season plans. “We’re #3 in the region, which is a big deal because the higher up we are in the region, if you don’t happen to win the (ODAC) tournament, the sooner you come up on the see JACKETS, pg. 39 `

Lee-Davis takes down Warriors for regional berth

By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com Fans coming to Lee-Davis to watch the #3 seed host girls basketball take on #6 seed Henrico in the quarterfinals of the Capital District Tournament got a treat and a close game. With five lead changes, the contest was too close to call until the closing minutes when the Confederates pulled out a 60-54 win.

Sophomore Caroline Naumann led all scorers with 17 points while seniors Casey Price and Trina Gardner added 14 and nine.

Lee-Davis head coach Alvin Puller was proud of his team’s performance and the Confederates’ return to the regional tournament.

“Casey Price played extremely well taking the ball to the hole, getting rebounds, being strong,”

Puller said. “Trina Gardner was being the floor general…smart, smart, smart.”

But Puller reserved his highest praise for his sophomore center that earned First Team All-District honors. “ Caroline Naumann was doing her normal thing, getting rebounds, getting points when she can get them,” Puller said. “She’s not a selfish player. She really liked it when they double-teamed her.”

The last time the two teams played, Naumann racked up 27 points against the Warriors.

Therefore Puller knew Naumann would have to adapt to a concentrated defensive effort by Henrico. “She said, ‘If they double-team me, the rest of the team is going to pick me up’,” Puller said. “And that’s what they did. That’s exactly what they did.”

Both teams brought size, but the C-Feds showed a little more depth, hustle and athleticism, while the Warriors got in well-placed shots and picked up points on rebounds.

Henrico led 16-15 after the first quarter but Lee-Davis edged back in front 28-25 at the break. The Confederate’s lead was trimmed to 40-39 heading

into the final quarter of play.

“They had #44, (Auriana) Banks, she’s a big tough player,” Puller said of Henrico. “They’ve got #15, (Maria) Jones, a really www.mechlocal.com good shooter. We knew that.

Hampered Hawks halted by Glen Allen 49-39 Hanover girls fall to Jaguars in district quarters

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Hampered by injuries, the Hanover girls basketball team put up a valiant effort against Glen Allen in the Capital District quarterfinals but saw their season end in a 49-39 loss last Tuesday night.

“We had some injuries,” said Hanover head coach Kevin Brooks. “We had some adversity. We had some kids that were playing at positions last night that quite frankly for 22 games weren’t able to play those positions. Some of it is you’re victims of circumstance. You have an opportunity and it’s not as if we had a great deal of time to adjust to some of those

38

things.”

Hanover was also victims of a Glen Allen team came into the contest as the #5 seed with an 11-11 record, but at the same time also presented the worst matchup for the undersized Hawks.

“I think they’re a tough matchup for a lot of teams even though they don’t have seniors,” Brooks said. “They have three kids 5-11, 5-11, six foot. The girl that brings the ball up is six foot/six-two, it’s a different kind of matchup when you have a team that doesn’t have anyone over 5-8 on the roster.”

When healthy, the Hawks could utilize their quickness and movement to get the upper hand on the much taller team, but hampered by injuries, Hanover was truly hamstrung in the land of giants. But that did not keep them from fighting to the end.

The Mechanicsville Local February 22, 2012

Both teams struggled to find an offensive rhythm early and played nearly the final four minutes of the first quarter without a score. But, trailing 3-5, Hanover’s Lynnse Caler scored in the final three seconds of the period to tie the game.

Rachel Fehl started the second quarter by making one of two free throws and putting Hanover back on top but the Hawks’ final lead of the game did not last long.

Daneille Weldon (10 points) connected on three out of four free throws over the next two minutes, Alicia Hudalla scored on a spin move and Raellen Wittman a jumper for a 12-6 Jaguar lead just past the midway point of the second.

Though doubled-up on the scoreboard, Hanover was far from out of the game until a Glen Allen flurry left them flatfooted.

With 3:33 left in the first half, Glen Allen’s Kiersten Richardson went to the line for a pair of free throws and missed both but Hudalla pulled down the rebound and scored on a put back. Hudella then stole the ball and scored on a layup for a 16-6 lead.

Caler momentarily stopped the bleeding by making Hanover’s only field goal of the quarter 2:31 before the break but the Jaguars kept pouring it on.

Hudalla scored then Danielle Weldon added four more over a two minute span to give Glen Allen a 22-8 lead heading into the locker room. www.mechlocal.com The normally upbeat Hawks See slideshow online! began to look deflated as they left the floor.

“I think the nature of high Charlie Leffler/The Local school basketball is fairly deflat- Hanover’s Erica Hess makes a move past the defense of Glen ing at that point,” Brooks said. Allen’s much taller guard Alicia Hudalla (12). The Hawks not see HAMPERED, pg. 39 `

rebounds and put-backs. We knew that if we boxed her out, it would be a different ball game.”

Jones and Banks managed to put up 13 and 14 points respectively for the Warriors, even though Jones sat out a portion of the game due to injury. Freshman Davonni Parker also came up with nine for the night.

But Lee-Davis took advantage of turnovers which led to Henrico’s downfall.

“The last few games we’ve been really pressuring people; trying to get them to turn the ball over; not necessarily steal the ball, but let them make mistakes,” Puller said of the Confederates’ defense.

As a result the C-Feds came up with 15 steals in the contest a number of them occurring in the closing minutes of the game. It was too much for the

HAMPERED Continued from pg. 38 b

“Just from a standpoint of, having a hard time scoring.

“I told our assistants during the game, our issue is not defending, which it wasn’t,” Brooks said. “Our issue was scoring. We were having a hard time putting the ball in the basket.” Hanover shot 13 percent in the first half and was 0-for-13 from 3-point range.

“A district tournament between a #4 and a #5 seed, the team that shoots 13 percent is not the team that’s going to be in command of the game,” Brooks said.

But instead of throwing in the towel, the ailing Hanover squad came out of the locker room fighting to keep their season alive. It took a little over two minutes for the Hawks to match their point production for the entire first half.

April Langford got things going and Brook Throckmorton connected on the Hawks’ first

Warriors to overcome.

“Offensively I felt pretty good; but we had too many turnovers in the front Court,” said Henrico Head Coach, Brandon Kimble. “This season, we’ve dealt with a lot of adversity, a lot of injuries. We lost some players off the team, so, basically we had a month where we had everybody. So, continuity has also been an issue that has plagued us. We picked up by playing them during the course this season, but turnovers and rebounds- we gave up too many second-chance points, which was our Achilles heel tonight.”

Despite a game-high 27 points from Naumann and 12 from Price, Lee-Davis fell to Varina 69-59 in the district semifinals. Mia Fitts led the Blue Devils with 25 points and four steals while teammate Tone Nightingale dominated the defense with 12 rebounds, two blocks and two steals. Micah

Cox tallied 16 points, seven rebounds, six steals, four assists and three blocks for Varina.

Richardson countered that with a three for the Jaguars, but Throckmorton answered with her second of five 3’s to pull the Hawks within nine, 25-16.

Glen Allen widened the margin to 33-18 by the end of the period, but the Hawks showed they still had fight left in them.

Throckmorton (15 points) started the fourth with another 3-pointer and Barrett closed the gap to 10, 33-23 seconds later.

The Hanover defense limited Glen Allen to five field goals in the final quarter but the Jaguars made 6-of-12 free throws to seal the win.

In the locker room afterward, Brooks had a simple message for his players. “I told them I couldn’t be more proud of what we accomplished,” he said.

Because they were arguable the shortest team in the region, few expected much out of the Hawks this season. Instead, midway through the season Hanover was in a tie at the

top of the Capital District but finished fourth after battling through injuries and adversity down the stretch.

“That doesn’t change anything that I feel about them,” Brooks said. “That doesn’t change anything about the effort they gave us day in and day out. I’m proud of them for those sacrifices they made to put themselves in a position to be fourth in our district and a couple baskets away from accomplishing something that no one thought possible.”
