ogy, with a focus in physical therapy. As she prepares to graduate, Anna said, “I just want to say that, without the support of my parents and friends and my dance teachers, I would have never been able to stay focused and achieve such a major accomplishment. Also, the IB faculty at Lee-Davis High School has been amazing and has had such a huge influence on my life. Best wishes to all of the teachers and to the Class of 2012 as we begin a whole new chapter in our lives.” Bethany, the daughter of Matthew and Wendy Pursel of Mechanicsville, is the cofounder of the Lee-Davis Prayer Club.

Battlefield Park Elementary School and Dynamo Soccer Club recently teamed up with Dynamo sponsoring a Bullying Slogan Contest. The school’s Bullying Prevention Program teaches students lessons on the definition of bullying and presented them with an antibullying pledge. Principal Judy Bradley worked with Dynamo in organizing the slogan contest. Each class had a winner, with two grand prize winners one from each K-2 and 3-5 grades. The grand prize winners were given ice cream parties from Bobalicious for their classes. Shown are counselor Amy Price, Chloe Shermer, Bradley, Dynamo Dog, Cole Nicley and Christine Schwartz.

tionally inflicting, or attempting to inflict, injury or discomfort upon another. These behaviors can be carried out physically by actions like hitting, kicking, pushing and choking; verbally by calling names, threatening, taunting, malicious teasing and spreading nasty rumors; or in other ways, such as making faces or obscene gestures, or intentional exclusion from a group. The latter, more subtle forms, are usually termed “indirect bullying,” whereas “direct bullying” comprises behaviors that represent relatively open attacks on the victim. For something to be considered bullying, there should be an imbalance in power or strength. The students who are the targets of negative actions

“Our primary effort is through implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program,” said Principal Judith Bradley. “Some of the goals of the program include reducing existing bullying problems among students, preventing the development of new bullying problems and achieving better peer relations at school.” Two of the keys to the program are identifying “hot spots” and getting “stakeholders” involved. A hot spot is any place bullying can occur. It might be a school hallway, the bathroom, lunch room, classroom and one of the most frequent places bullying occurs, and hardest to patrol, the playground. “In elementary school, it

The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program was developed through an intervention project involving 2,500 children in 42 schools from the city of Bergen, Norway, from 1983 through 1985. The first evaluation of the program within the United States was in 1998 and involved 6,388 elementary and middle school children from non-metropolitan communities in South Carolina. Bullying or victimization can be generally defined as when a student is exposed, repeatedly and over time, to negative actions on the part of one or more other students.

known for her beautiful smile, which was always present.” Mark said his sister loved her family as her family did her. “She was a mother, a daughter, a sister, and so much to so many. She was a friend to all — a model, a dancer. She was in a movie with Hilary Swank; she traveled all over and gave it all up to be a mom.” Sabrina, who had celebrated her 30th birthday on April 8, “loved going to Virginia Beach.” Mark said she was weeks away from finishing cosmetology school. And, he added, “She was so looking forward to our yearly family beach vacation.” Looking ahead, she had been finalizing plans to take her sons and her mother to Disney World in November. “She was so very proud of her boys and they will always know the love their mother had for them.”

As for the boys’ future, Mark wants the community to be assured that her family will take care of them “and always keep her memory alive in them.” The account for Aiden and Heath was established at Village Bank at 6127 Mechanicsville Turnpike. All locations can help in accepting contributions. Speaking on behalf of his family, Mark said, “We love you, Sabrina, and miss you so much. We will always be here for Aiden and Heath.” The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office is handling the criminal aspect of the case. Last week, warrants for murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and aggravated malicious wounding had been issued for Ryan Markham. He and another male were injured in the afternoon incident. The men were transported to VCU Medical Center for treatment. Sgt. Chris R. Whitley said Sabrina Maters Markham was dead when officers arrived at

the house. “Preliminary investigation into this incident indicates that Ryan Markham responded to his estranged wife’s residence, made entry, and fired several rounds from an assault rifle, which killed Sabrina Markham,” Whitley said. “During this encounter, Markham’s rounds also seriously injured another adult male, who fired rounds from a handgun that struck Ryan Markham. The incident appears to have stemmed from a domestic dispute.” Deputies responded to the Candleberry Drive residence around 3:20 p.m. The family received friends from 5 to 8 p.m. on Friday, June 8, at the Mechanicsville Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home on Lee Davis Road. Interment was private. Sabrina was preceded in death by her father, Tony Maters. In addition to her sons and her brother, she is survived by her mother, Cheryl Maters;

Mark’s wife Sherri; her sister Tina Reichwein and husband Brad; nephews, Chase and Layne Maters; nieces, Kristen and Megan Reichwein; lifelong best friend, Esther Price Doggett; Blake Minter, the man Sabrina loved, as well as a host of extended family and friends. In the wake of the domestic incident, Stacie Francis, who is with Community & Outreach Services for Hanover Safe Place, released the following statement: “Domestic Violence is present in our community and society at large. One in four women will experience domestic violence in their lifetime (National Coalition Against Domestic Violence). “ “The pervasiveness of domestic violence affects not only the victim, but their children, family, friends and our larger community,” she continued. “With that being said, we would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest sympathies to the family and

friends of Sabrina Markham,” Francis said. Hanover Safe Place offers a 24-hour confidential hotline — 804-752-2702 — for victims of domestic abuse, as well

as those who know someone who is a victim and needs support. For more information on helping Hanover Safe Place, call the office at 804-752-2728.

Go figure — feud tops cable ratings For three years, yours truly served as editor of the Williamson (W.Va.) Daily News and became all too familiar with the infamous Hatfield-McCoy Feud. The families battled in neighboring communities and that story continues to attract visitors to the hills and valleys of the Tug River area. Kevin Costner and Bill Paxton recently brought “Devil Anse” Hatfield and “Ran’l” McCoy to life in The History Channel three-night miniseries. After having been raised in Logan County, where Devil Anse spent his later years and is buried, the feud was part of our history. Sadly, it also seemed to perpetuate unfortunate stereotypes of the residents. So, it was surprising that “Hatfields & McCoys” set records for cable viewing. There was that “say what?!” moment at the interest or curiosity. Those two families’ names are still commonplace throughout Logan and Mingo counties in West Virginia and Pike County, Ky. Went to school with McCoys and a relative married a Hatfield. While in Williamson, there was a time when it seemed as though Hatfield-McCoy this or Hatfield-McCoy that dominated anything that could attract tourism dollars. That’s when the perpetuating a stereotype struck a nerve. But, as the old saying goes, money talks. A trail system with those two names has brought ATV enthusiasts from many states to the coalfields of West Virginia. So, this infamous feud has pumped in some much-needed financial support. As for the miniseries, it was well done in terms of retelling a long-told tale. Opinions vary on what actually started the feud. Regardless, it holds a place in the history of that area. No, they weren’t hillbilly versions of the Montagues and the Capulets. The story of the Hatfields and McCoys is all too real. As a side note, the descendants reunited several years ago and signed a peace treaty of sorts. They even compete in friendly events like a tug-of-war across the Tug River at Matewan, W.Va. Now this story has topped TV cable ratings. Go figure . . . Melody Kinser

friends who had twins 30 years or more ago and had complications that ultrasound technology would have conquered. Who can argue that knowledge does not increase power over one’s life? The more we know, the better our decisions. Therefore, it’s baffling to understand why anyone should object to a pregnant woman having an ultrasound prior to undergoing an abortion. Yet, hundreds of people have written angry, threatening and hatefilled letters to the conservative esteemed members of the Virginia Congress because they voted to support the Right to See and Know Law. No one, including our president, should be accusing conservatives of not caring about women, which is their mantra. The opposite is the reality – since the vote was purely par-

Dorothy Wallis of the Care Pregnancy Clinic in Baton Rouge, La., reported that 98 percent of women who have ultrasounds choose to carry to term. Can they be accused of making bad decisions following an ultrasound? There are 1.5 million abortions in the U.S. every year, so, if the technology saves the lives of some of these unborn people and makes abortions safer, why would anyone object? We want our rights but knowledge and information are essential in exercising those rights correctly and makes us more responsible. Don’t just be a sheep to slaughter; learn all you can about any medical procedure you plan to undergo and find the courage to make an informed decision based on all the information available. The ultrasound is a tool to use for information gathering. Why would the Democrats in

tisan and no Democrat voted for it – the assumption to be made is that Democrats do not care about women – otherwise, what is their argument that the ultrasound should not be mandated? The common diagnostic tool empowers women and their doctors with more information which equates to knowledge and better decisions. Surprisingly, Sen. Ralph Northam, D-Md., called the bill an “assault on women’s healthcare.� If a woman is dead-set on a dead baby, then she can avert her eyes and ears when the heartbeat is seen and heard. The use of ultrasound prior to abortion has been used successfully (meaning educating pregnant woman and their doctors) since 1983 and pregnancy centers report that many women and their partners leaning toward abortion change their minds after ultrasound exams.

JAMES RIVER

DEAL OF THE WEEK

our legislature deny you that tool? No one is hurt by this bill but yet millions are potentially saved from harm when the ultrasound is used. What are they afraid of? The bullies who have been writing the supporters of the ultrasound bill are vulgar, disrespectful, and lack wisdom and understanding. I thank all of the conservative lawmakers for having the courage to vote for the bill that helps women make a difficult decision; sadly not one Democrat had the courage to get out of the sheep line. The bill was long overdue; eight other states are ahead with this mandate and other states are developing similar bills. Millions of lives have been changed for the better; many are saved, and abortions are safer. Why would anyone object to that? Patricia Lassiter Mechanicsville

Mallary DeChirico named 2012 Beginning Teacher of the Year Mallary DeChirico, a third grade teacher at Battlefield Park Elementary School, has been named the Hanover County Public Schools 2012 Beginning Teacher of the Year. “It is apparent to all who enter her classroom that she is a teacher who genuinely cares about all of her students, takes the time to get to know them individually, finds what is special about all of them and then communicates that specialness to her children and to their parents. She knows how to structure learning experiences to accommodate the various

learning stypes of third grade students, how to train and manage her students to meet the social expectations of a classroom and how to appropriately engage her students in focused, active learning,” Judith Bradley, principal of Battlefield Park Elementary School, said. DeChirico was surprised with the announcement during an after-school faculty meeting on May 30. “Education is my true calling. They (the students) know when they come to school every day they can expect mutual respect, purposeful humor,

and educational fun. They also know they can expect a smiling face and warm personality. Good is easy, but I want to be great. Being “great” however, takes insurmountable time that I never could truly fathom before becoming a teacher. It’s not a job where you leave feeling unfulfilled; it’s a job that sends you home knowing you have served a purpose. Through all the sleepless nights and the times I wanted to scream and cry; for the times I felt unprepared and somewhat undeserving to be my children’s teacher, I always knew deep down that

The third fire in a little more than a month in Mechanicsville’s Kings Charter neighborhood claimed the community’s clubhouse early Friday. Hanover County Fire Battalion Chief Larry Snyder said firefighters have been called to three fires at Kings Charter, a community of nearly 900 homes off Atlee Station Road, since April 24.

They were called to the neighborhood twice in a three-hour span between Thursday night and Friday morning. The first fire was reported about 11 p.m. Thursday at a building near the clubhouse, though damage was minimal, Snyder said. The second fire, reported about 2 a.m. Friday, left the clubhouse, which includes a common room, fitness area, full kitchen and access to the pool, a charred ruin. “There’s significant damage to the entire structure,” said Snyder, adding that it took

firefighters about an hour to put out the blaze. The April 24 fire damaged another building across the street from the clubhouse. Snyder would not say whether investigators consider the fires suspicious. “It’s all under investigation,” he said. Snyder asked anyone with information to call Hanover County Fire and EMS administration at 365-6195 and ask to speak to a fire marshal.

EXPERIENCE WORKING

FOR YOU

Outstanding officers honored Hanover County Animal Control recently recognized its outstanding officers for 2011 in an awards ceremony at the historic Hanover Courthouse. Lindsey C. Palmen received the Fleming Blunt Award as Most Valuable Animal Control Officer. “Lindsey has demonstrated professional skills with appearance, work ethic, and compassion,” said Chief Kevin Kilgore. “She has set an excellent example of what an animal control PALMEN officer stands for.” A four-year veteran of Hanover Animal Control, Palmen was a volunteer at the Animal Pound before being hired as a kennel attendant and working her way up to Animal Control officer. Fleming Blunt was Hanover’s first Animal Control professional. Beginning in 1959, Blunt, in many cases, paid out of his own pocket to feed stray pets. The county’s first animal pound was built on his property. Jenna L. Vitale received the Buddy W. Mills Award for Most Desired Animal Control Officer. Mills served Hanover

residents in Animal Control for 30 years and the award goes to the officer who excels as a leader by example or one that has achieved significant improvement. “Jenna has worked hard this year to hold our unit together through positive actions even when times were tough,” Kilgore said. “She was also commended and recognized several times during the year as being extremely customer-friendly and she generated multiple compliments for her cusVITALE tomer service and overall compassionate handling of many situations.” Vitale has been a Hanover County Animal Control officer since December 2006. Kilgore also recognized several other people during the ceremony on April 11 at Hanover Courthouse: ☞ Jackie Mickens received the Super Support Staff Award for her work in the Animal Pound. ☞ Ed Burnas was recognized as the department’s outstanding volunteer. ☞ Caroline Cooke was given the Citizen Support award for her efforts with

the dog park. ☞ Steven Royalty of the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office was recognized for Outstanding Contribution in Law Enforcement. This year Hanover maintained its record of 100 percent convictions in dogfighting cases due largely to Royalty’s efforts in a difficult case involving multiple jurisdictions and animal cruelty counts. ☞ Bill Hardman was recognized for his outstanding service. MICKENS ☞ Lindsey Palmen was recognized for most captures of wildlife. ☞ Jeffrey Parker was honored for saving the most cats. ☞ Allan Smith Jr. was honored for saving the most dogs. Maj. Thomas Woody and Capt. Richard Farmer of the Sheriff ’s Office were the guest speakers at the ceremony. The awards ceremony highlighted the eighth national Animal Control Officer Appreciation Week.

County offers businesses Coombs receives scholarship paper recyling opportunities from Dominion Credit Union Hanover County invites business owners to recycle mixed paper and corrugated paper at its Courthouse solid waste service convenience center. The Department of Public Works has a dropoff area for business paper recycling adjacent to the Courthouse Solid Waste Service Convenience Center on U.S.301 just south of Hanover Courthouse. There are separate containers for mixed paper and corrugated paper.

Those bringing boxes are asked to break them down before placing them into the corrugated paper container. This service allows businesses with mixed loads to drop off paper before going to the Transfer Station, where tipping fees would have to be paid. (The solid waste convenience centers are available for household refuse only and cannot be used by businesses.) Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

BPES students take top honors in WordMasters Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Two students representing Battlefield Park Elementary School recently won the highest honor in this past year’s WordMasters Challenge, a national language arts competition entered by about 220,000 students annually. The event consists of three separate meets held at internals during the school year. Competing in the Blue Division, fourth grader Noah Britton and fifth grader Aidan Rice both earned perfect scores in the year’s third meet, held in April. In the entire country only 55 fourth graders and 131 fifth graders achieved perfect results. Others who also achieved outstanding results in the meet included fifth grad-

ers Casey Carnohan, Madeline Dunn, Summer Santelli and Chloe Shermer. The students were coached by Judy Corker, G/T Resource teacher; Erin Krebbs, fourth grade teacher; and Michele Moore and Anita Sharpenstein, fifth grade teachers. The WordMasters Challenge is an exercise in critical thinking that first encourages students to become familiar with a set of interesting new words (considerably harder than grade level), and then challenges them to use those words to complete analogies expressing various kinds of logical relationships. Working to solve the Challenge analogies helps students learn to think both analytically and metaphorically. Though most vocabulary-

boosting and analogy-solving activities have been created for high school students, the WordMasters materials have been specifically designed for younger students, in grades three through eight. They are particularly well suited for able

and interested children, who rise to the challenge of learning new words and enjoy the logical puzzles posed by analogies. The WordMasters Challenge has been administered for the past 25 years by a company based in Allendale, N.J., which is dedi-

cated to inspiring high achievement in American schools. Now that all three of the year’s meets have been conducted, medals and certificates will be awarded to those who achieved and/or improved the most in the course of the year.

Patrick Henry and King William come up short in state championship tournaments

Patriots go 10 innings but fall to Cosby 3-2 Lapse leads to loss for Cavs in state semis

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com CHANTILLY, — It was a historic all-Central Region VHSL Group AAA softball championship game, so why shouldn’t it come to an epic conclusion? Cosby and Patrick Henry battled through nine innings of no-yield competition Saturday until Titans junior Alex Beyers picked up her only hit of the day, driving in senior Meagan Jones in the bottom of the 10th inning for a 3-2 win and Cosby’s first softball title. For Patrick Henry, it marked only their third loss of the season, all three by a 3-2 margin. Though the Titans notched 10 hits against Patriots senior pitcher Emma Mitchell, the game was a duel in the circle between Mitchell and Cosby sophomore Chelsea Whitcomb, who limited Patrick Henry to five hits and struck out five. Both teams knew each other well, having played in a preseason scrimmage then meeting again eight days before the state championship in the Central Region title game. The Patriots won the scrimmage handily but fell to Cosby 3-2 in the regional. Familiar with Cosby’s talent, Patriots coach Matt Crowder concentrated his efforts on getting his team to shut down the

bats of Jones and junior Ellen Sweat. The duo defied Patrick Henry’s plans. Jones was a star throughout the postseason and showed no signs of slowing down in the championship game, going 3for-5 with a double and two runs. “She’s been our motor,” said Cosby coach Ray Jeter. “She’s

been our table-setter all year. (She) gets on base and the next two batters move her over and score.” Sweat was just as dangerous, going 2-for-5 in the state championship. “We just really didn’t have an answer for the one-two hitters,” Crowder said. “They were tough all day and they got us the last game, too. We just couldn’t

seem to do anything to get them out.” With the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 10th, the top of Cosby’s order came to the plate. Jones led off with a double to right, immediately putting Patrick Henry’s backs to the wall. Rather than give up a hit see PATRIOTS, pg. 34 `

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local SALEM – After 22 straight wins, King William found itself in unfamiliar territory Friday: trailing late in a softball game. Unfortunately, the Cavaliers could not find their way back to winning territory as they fell to Eastside 5-1 in a VHSL Group A Division 2 softball semifinal at Moyers Sports Complex. After giving up a run in the fifth inning, sloppy defense on King William’s part and clutch batting by the Spartans’ triggered a four-run Eastside eruption in the sixth. King William (22-1) rallied for a run in the

seventh, but faced too much ground to make up in its remaining innings. “You’re looking at a team that has had six runs scored on them all year,” said King William coach Kay Gammon. “Here we are at this level, and you can’t expect to have four errors and come out ahead.” Both teams struggled to get traction against the pitchers, Lindsay Dean for Eastside and Kayla Huffman for the Cavaliers. Dean struck out seven King William batters, walked only three and hit one while giving up six hits. Huffman struck out

that could push Jones to third, Sweat was intentionally walked. Mitchell got Whitcomb to ground out to short, and then Crowder played the odds. He intentionally walked Savanna Ols to load the bases and get to Beyers, who was 0-for-4 coming to the plate. “Obviously, they had a runner on third so a base hit was going to win it, it didn’t matter,” Crowder said. “We were just hoping to get down to the bottom of the order and get an easier out.” Beyers wanted to make the most of her chance. “I knew that it was a big opportunity for me and I was going to try to capitalize on it as much as I could,” she said. “They walked some good batters that were up there so I knew people were sort of resting on my shoulders.” Beyers battled Mitchell

through a long count but finally making contact. “When I first hit it, I thought it was just going to be a blooper right to the second baseman,” she said. “But then I saw it go right over her head and I knew we had won it. It was just the best feeling.” Crowder could only acknowledge Beyer coming through in a pinch. “She did a great job of just sticking the bat out and getting a little piece of the ball,” he said. “It just didn’t fall for us.” Jones and Sweat did damage in the first inning, too. Jones led off with a single over third base, and Sweat’s perfect bunt to short put two runners on. Whitcomb helped her own cause by blasting a double to center to plate Jones for a 1-0 lead. But after giving up three hits, Mitchell settled in and limited the Titans to seven hits the next nine innings. Cosby made it 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth when sophomore Bridget Blakely led off with

a double to right-center field. Blakely moved to third on a sacrifice bunt by Sam Quinn and scored on a single by Sweat. Patrick Henry did not get its first hit off Whitcomb until the top of the sixth, when freshman Paige Mitchell singled and Allison Tingler reached on an error. With two outs, Katie Woody drilled a two-run double to left center to knot the game 2-2. Crowder had a clear message for his team as they entered the inning. “They got us in the top of the sixth in the regionals so we’re going to get them in the sixth here,” he said. “That put a little spark into them and Katie came up and had a big hit for us.” The teams went into the bottom of the eighth still tied, and Cosby looked primed to win after Beyer reached on a one-out walk. But Holly Stargradt hit a hard grounder to second that was snared by Patriots sophomore Ashely Samuels, who tagged Beyer and threw to first

eight Spartans, walking just one and yielding five hits. The quality of the pitching dictated the nature of the offense. “We knew [Dean] threw anywhere from 60 to 68 miles an hour. We knew she didn’t have the control, and we’re trying to be patient at the plate,” Gammon said. “We wanted to stick with small ball, and tried to stick with small ball, but they were able to cover some of the bunts we hoped to get in.” Eastside (22-4) had a similar plan. “There were two good pitchers,” said Eastside coach Suzi Atwood. “Sometimes you’ve got to try to make something happen.” Small ball contributed to Eastside’s first run. Catcher Erin Stanley opened the fifth inning with a single, and designated player Katie Mullins sacrificed

for an inning-ending double play. As the game went on and the intensity built, Crowder expected Whitcomb to succumb to the pressure, but she didn’t blink.

“You were hoping — big game, young kid,” Crowder said. “But she’s cool. She stayed cool on the mound.” “It wasn’t nervous for me,” Whitcomb said. “I love pres-

her to second. One out later, left fielder Brianne Atwood singled Stanley home. The run lifted the Spartans’ mood. “That was a nice little pop there and we scored a run,” Coach Atwood said. “That one inning helped us out. Everybody relaxed a little bit. We were really tight today, I have to say.” The run had the opposite effect on King William. “I think we hung our heads a little bit,” Gammon said. While the run put the Cavaliers at a disadvantage, the sixth inning doomed them. Huffman opened the inning by giving up her only base on balls of the game – to Eastside first baseman Lindsay Lawson. Trojans’ shortstop Samantha Cole followed with a single, and Dean reached on an error. Eastside third baseman Alana Johnson also reached on an error – that scored Lawson, then Stanley followed up with a tworun single to drive in Cole and

Dean. Mullins hit a sacrifice fly that drove in Johnson. “I just told the girls we had to put it in play, to battle with it and put it in play, and we did,” Coach Atwood said. “They made some mistakes and we got on base.” In the midst of the carnage, King William assistant coach Barbara Baker came to the mound to settle the Cavalier defense down. “When it started falling apart, it was really hard to get it back together for a team that hadn’t had this happen all year,” Gammon said. She said Baker’s message to the team was, “We’re going to play Cavalier ball. Let it go. Let’s not take it back to the mound, let’s not take it back to our positions. Let’s just do one out at a time and it’ll be alright.” The talk worked. King William held the line on further Eastside scoring, but struggled to find its own way home. Most of its offensive spark was provided by its No. 9 hitter, right fielder Samantha Martin.

Twice, in the fifth and seventh innings, she opened with leadoff singles. She was stranded at second in the fifth inning, but advanced to second and third on back-to-back singles by Cavalier third baseman Essence Jackson and first baseman Brianna Branch. Center fielder Lacey Cox drove her in with a fielder’s choice. Back-to-back groundouts then ended King William’s rally and season. Despite the disappointing outcome, Gammon was proud of her young – largely freshmen – team. “I’m just so proud of these girls,” Gammon said. “These kids are awesome. They have nothing – nothing – to hang their heads about.” Eastside went on to win the state championship.

Hudson earns berth in international tournament By David Halstead For The Mechanicsville Local Some of the best youth golfers from across the state of Virginia traveled to The Crossings Golf Club in Glen Allen this past weekend for the Capital-Virginia Optimist qualifier. The two day event was a highly competitive tournament in which players from each division qualified for an international tournament held at Palm Beach, Florida in July. This was the eighth year that the CapitalVirginia Optimist qualifier was held, and according to tournament director Gail Headley, it keeps growing in size every year. “Every year we get a few more kids. This year is the best year we have had. It has increased 28 percent this year,” Headley said. “I think it is because the word is getting out. We always say we are

the best kept secret around as far as a golf tournament.” Saturday’s round was for the boys’ 16-18 year old division while Sunday was for boys ages 10-11, 12-13, 14-15 & Girls 10-12, 13-14, and 15-18. A total of 105 golfers hit the course over the weekend with 35 competing on Saturday and twice that amount on Sunday for the younger divisions and the girls. Mechanicsville area players representing three of the county high schools; Atlee, Hanover, and Lee-Davis, competed in the tournament. Other players came from all over the state of Virginia with one golfer coming from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. “Our whole model as Optimist is, ‘Bring out the best in kids’ and not only do the kids get to play here, but they get some really stiff competition from all over the state,” Headley said.

Becoming a better golfer isn’t the only thing that the youngsters learned over the weekend. “It also teaches the kids good manners and how to get along with other people,” Headley said. “It is just an all-around good event for the young golfers.” Joey Lane of Great Falls, Va. took first place in the boys’ 1618 division by shooting a solid one under par 71. Hanover High School junior Phillip Hudson finished in second by shooting a 73. “It’s kind of a tight golf course and there are some good players out here,” Hudson said. “So, I just kind of wanted to shoot as low as I could go.” Jesse Hazam of Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania finished in third with a score David Halstead/For The Local of 75 and by virtue of winning Hanover golfer Phillip Hudson lines up a putt during last week’s Capital Optimist Qualifier at The a sudden-death playoff over Crossings.

weapons to call upon. “We have a lot more pitching this year, I believe, than we had last year,” Gates said. “We might even have more sticks this year than we had last year. A good, competitive group that knows how to play the game.” Gates envisions his starting pitching rotation to consist of a cross-county representation; James Walsh (Atlee), Chris Childress (Hanover) and Michael Thomas (Lee-Davis), with several relievers, including a closer. “With that, we have I think it’s around 12 pitchers who can actually pitch,” Gates said. “Pitching-wise, we’re deep, which is good.” He believes he has good hitters up-and-down the lineup. But some things have changed at the plate because of the change from BESR to BBCOR bats. “The power, I think, went with the bat,” Gates said. “There will be home runs hit, but it won’t be as many as there had been in the past, but then you have people up-and-down the lineup that will slap the ball and run. We’ve got great team speed.” Assistant coach Bobby White said getting the players – many of whom were rivals at the beginning of June – to form a new team identity is not that difficult. “I remember when I played – it was just Atlee and LeeDavis at that point in time,” White said. “During the [high school] season they were your biggest enemy – while you want to beat everybody, you want to beat them worse than anyone else. I think it’s the same for these kids today. … “These kids are competitive, and they know once they get on the same team that now we’re all gelling together. They’re all here for the same common purpose, which is

36

still to win, but now they’re going to win together instead of beating each other up.” Gates said the players feed off each other. “I think they push each other to the point of getting a little bit better, which is the way I think the game should be played,” Gates said. “Push that other person so that they play better, and team-wise, you’ll be better.” Saturday, Mechanicsville hit South Richmond Post 137 repeatedly and hard, scoring most of its seven runs in the first three innings. Post 175 finished with 13 hits. It was led by Andrew Knizner, who went 3-for-4 with one RBI. Childress and Conner Hall both went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Mitch Keeler went 2-for-4 with a double. Walsh struck out 11 over eight innings, scattering four hits – two to Post 137’s Michael Carpenter. Thomas, who pitched an inning in relief Saturday for Post 175, went 2-for-4 with an RBI for Mechanicsville Sunday against Post 284 Pirates. Bryant Lowry likewise went 2-for-4, while Bryan Johansen hit a triple and had 2 RBI.

Alexandria resident Casey Bannon. Lane, Hudson, and Hazam will all represent the 16-18 year old boys’ division of Capital-Virginia District at the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships, which is a four-day 54-hole event at a PGA course in Palm Beach, Fla. This year, the Capital-Virginia District sent a total of 11 players to the OIJGC, the top three from the 16-18 boys and 15-18 girls divisions and the other five division winners. Other local players on Saturday included Austin Diehr, a sophomore at Lee-Davis and Thomas Moore, a junior at Atlee. Diehr shot a 90 on the day while Moore, who also competed two years ago in the tournament, had a rough day and shot a 93. He was still high in spirits after the

round. “I like the tightness of the course,” Moore said. “It makes you hit good shots and the only way to score out here is to hit the fairways and hit the greens.” Moore has been a frequent golfer at The Crossings the past six or seven years because his home is less than five minutes away. “I basically live here,” Moore said. “This is like home No. 2.” Headley wanted to thank the many sponsors for supporting the event and allowing it to keep growing every year. She hopes that they can continue the tradition in the future. “It is always good when we have the local kids come, but it’s also good when we have kids from all over the state because that means word is getting out,” Headley said. “Everyone has said it’s a great tournament, so David Halstead/For The Local we hope to keep up the good Atlee junior Thomas Moore prepares to hit a ball on the fairway. work.”


Raiders are back-to-back state champions On June 2-3, just as in 2011, the Atlee boys lacrosse team traveled to SportQuest for the 2nd Annual Commonwealth State Championship Club Lacrosse tournament. And for the second straight year the Raiders were crowned the state champion of boys’ club lacrosse in Virginia. Led by Senior Adam Brackley (2 goals, 1 assist) the Raiders beat out a strong Midlothian team 7-4. Atlee also found support from junior Josh Alston (2G) as well as sophomores Sean O’Reilly (1G, 3A) and Ryne West (2G). Midlothian played a well fought game and is a class team on and off the field, good sportsmanship ruled the day. All season Atlee relied on their stout defense, holding opposing teams to an average of under six goals per game. Championship weekend was no exception and the defense was again relentless in the championship game holding the Trojans to only four goals. Fitz Rogers was a human wall between the pipes stopping nine shots. Tanner Bazemore, Frankie Kennedy, Will Woodward, and Daniel Glymph also turned in out-

standing performances for the Raiders on defense. Atlee finished the season 133 with a 4-0 record vs. VHSL varsity schools with no losses to Richmond area teams. As a club team however, they are not permitted to compete in the VHSL tournament. Expectations are that had the Raiders been able to compete in the district and regional tournament they certainly would have

been a contender as they had already beaten the four teams competing from the Richmond district. With a two year record of 24-6 and regular season games with teams such as last year’s D-II private school champs Christchurch, in which the Raiders came up just short, Atlee has become a model program for others in the area to follow. The Raider’s accomplishments

have been cited in Williamsburg Lax (http://williamsburglax. wordpress.com/ ) and are well known and respected in the greater Richmond area. LAX POWER, a national rating publication, consistently has Atlee well regarded in the area as well as the state. The Raiders are looking forward to again making the push to go VHSL varsity level and appreciate both the public and

school officials’ support of this well-deserved transition. “It is a shame these boys can’t compete in the State High School Tournament,” said Atlee Coach Eric Hall. “After all the hard work, sweat, and sacrifice they make, the boys deserve a shot at the State High School Championship. The club state tournament is a great showcase for the Atlee program, but we are ready to take the next

step and compete at the VHSL level.” The Raiders lose only four seniors and have a very strong class of youth coming up. While it may be too early to label Atlee lacrosse a dynasty, they certainly have the makings of a program that will be a force to reckon with for years to come. Submitted by Fitz Rogers
