Cupboards are bare at local food pantry By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com While summer usually mean fun and sun, the months also signal a slowdown in contributions to charitable organizations. Such is the case for the food pantry operated by Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions (MCEF). A nursery rhyme refers to the cupboard being bare – that image can describe today’s bleak situation at the

MCEF operation. Mechanicsville resident Carolee Stuckey attends the Episcopal Church of the Creator on Mechanicsville Turnpike, where the food pantry is based. She is so dedicated to the work that she calls herself “queen of the food pantry.” Pam Gardner also resides in Mechanicsville and attends the Episcopal Church of the Creator. Humbly, she said “I help out” with the food pantry.

‘Set the Example’ as new term starts (Editor’s note: Col. V. Stuart Cook, sheriff of Hanover County, submitted the following letter, titled “Set the Example,” as students start the 2010-2011 school term.) Dear parents and students: During the past 20 years of service as sheriff of Hanover County, I have watched many of you grow up in Hanover County, attend and graduate from the very best school system, and, now, our children and grandchildren are an integral

part of these very same schools. As I will retire on Oct. 1, 2010, I want to assure you that all of our students’ best interests and safety will remain paramount to the men and women of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. My successor, Lt. Col. David R. Hines, will serve as your sheriff and I am confident that he will continue to carry on the mission of the Sheriff ’s Office and provide see EXAMPLE, pg. 4 `

The decrease in donations is nothing new this time of year though. “This is an annual problem,” Carolee said. “This is a church organization, so people come to church and bring their three cans of tuna fish. They’ll bring their food, but when they spend the summer at the river – every weekend at the river – they aren’t coming to church and they aren’t bringing their three cans of tuna fish.” The dilemma, however, is not limited

to the MCEF food pantry. “It’s a problem that all the food pantries have,” she added. The Central Virginia Food Bank also suffers during the summer months. “Food pantries are in real trouble, starting usually in July and going through September,” Carolee said. “And then school starts, people come back to church, and all the food pantries tend to recover by the first of October.” see FOOD, pg. 4 `

East Hanover VRS pays tribute to Stanley East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad members recognized one of its most distinguished former presidents and lifetime members on Thursday, Aug. 26. Sidney Judson “Jud” Stanley was honored by his family and about 30 members of the East Hanover VRS, past and present, at the Italian Kitchen Restaurant in Mechanicsville. Stanley, who was born 76 years ago in Hanover County, was a volunteer for East Hanover for 20 years. He served as a dispatcher, president and finance director. In addition to his service to the rescue squad, he was active in community sports as an umpire, coach and manager. He served as president of the Varina High School PTA and president of the Richmond Heights Ruritan Club. He has been a member of Varina Masonic Lodge 272 for 44 years. Stanley was employed by the Henrico Police Department and retired from Black and Decker Corp. after 20 years.

John R. Von Hagel, president of East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad, presents Jud Stanley with a Certificate of Appreciation along with a special photo commemorating the department’s 40th year Anniversary Celebration.

He served his country for four years in the Army and four years in the Air Force, serving tours of duty that included Korea and Japan, as well as stateside. Stanley served as the state commander for the Disabled American Veterans and has been a member of that organization for 38 years. He also has served on the Virginia War Memorial Board of Trustees and Education Foundation and the Board of Veterans Service. John R. Von Hagel, presi-

dent of the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad, said Stanley’s priorities “are most commendable. He places his family first and has fantastic support from them, including his children and his grandchildren.” “After that,” he added, “Mr. Stanley is very committed to the citizens of his community. As exemplified by his tenure at East Hanover VRS, his dedication to his fellow man is second to none, and many have benefited by his help.”

Carolee and Pam said concern turns to children in poor families who depend on meals provided through the school system. They need the nourishment provided by the food pantry. If MCEF is struggling with low donations, the support to these families diminishes. Another concern for the food pantry is the elderly population, especially those with a limited education and in poor health. “People who are working class and doing OK,” Carolee said, “have been thrown into instability and they’ve never recovered..” Economic conditions in recent years have taken their toll on working families, Pam added. “As far as the price of everything else going on, it hasn’t really come down.” Households, she said, have been affected, meaning there is less to give. The food pantry also offers assistance to young healthy people whose work hours have been cut as much as half. These days, Carolee said, families are trying to keep milk and bread on the table. “Then there’s the unemployed,” Pam said. She stopped by the food pantry a couple of weeks ago “and saw how bare the cupboards were. I was shocked. I found it to be completely depleted.” The food pantry “is always short on canned meat, canned fruit and spaghetti sauce,” Carolee said. “There are all these

churches that are collecting food and even if you don’t go to that church you can drop off food at any local church for MCEF and they will get it to us.” Fruit, green beans, baked beans and macaroni and cheese are among food items the food pantry needs. “We’re out of chicken noodle soup,” Carolee said. A retired pediatrician, she said she is “always trying to talk people into less glamorous foods. Many of our people are suffering from the ‘Big 3’: high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity.” To help with medical issues, Carolee and Pam said they offer a no salt added, low salt section for vegetables and soups. “We have no sugar, low sugar section.” A couple of regular patrons at the food pantry suffer from celiac disease, “so they can’t eat wheat, rye and barley (products). It’s amazing how poor health requires a special diet and those special diets are just horrendously expensive,” Carolee said. The only requirement for eligibility is that those shopping at the food pantry make their home in Mechanicsville. “We’re trying to keep people stable enough that they don’t qualify by being homeless, don’t qualify by declaring bankruptcy,” she added. “If everybody who’s OK can bring three cans of food a week into the food pantries in the area, we’ll be fine,” she said. “They don’t have to save the world, they don’t have to invest their kid’s college fund. If every person brings just a few cans into the system every time they’re passing by, every time they go to the grocery store.”

Carolee said there is a member of Episcopal Church of the Creator who consistently “brings what she can. She brings all the time. I always know there will be her can of Spam.” “This is really easy,” Carolee said of donating. “You don’t have to be Bill Gates to change the world here. You can buy a couple of cans.” “Our church office is open 9 (a.m.) to 12 (p.m.) and the volunteers get there at 9 o’clock,” she said. “So, from 9 to 9:30 we’re busy accepting donations and putting stuff away on the shelves.” Another item needed at the food pantry is toilet paper. Carolee said it is not covered by food stamps or any other federal program, “so we’re very appreciative of donations of toilet paper. Soap, shampoo, cleaning supplies, laundry detergent – those are little extras that we adore getting, but I don’t want everybody to bring me soap when I need food.” The food pantry is open from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Monday and Tuesday and 6 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, rain or shine. Now in its 20th year, the need has grown in two years from about 30 to 40 a month to 120 to 130. Monetary donations are welcome and checks can be sent to MCEF at P.O. Box 604, Mechanicsville VA 23111. “They can specify food pantry or not -- it will go to help people in need regardless,” she said. The Episcopal Church of the Creator has been involved with the food pantry for at least 20 years.

I also ask that you drive responsibly. I have confidence in you that you will remember to buckle up; drive the speed limit; pay attention to the road and not your personal electronic devices, or your passenger. Be familiar with the laws. Set the example to all who trust you with their safety when you are behind the wheel. I ask that you set the example to those who want to be your friends and remember that

a friend will not put you into situations that may be harmful to your well-being. Remember the tools that you have been taught to deal with negative peer pressure. The Sheriff ’s Office promises to work hard to keep your school drug and alcohol free so that you can reach your greatest potential in a safe learning environment. I hope you have an outstanding year and continue to strive to be the best. Most of all, we ask you to set the example by making wise choices and to look out for your friends. It has been my pleasure to serve all of you and be a part of our great Hanover community.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

9-11-2001 — a day we will never forget The day started like any other — grab the phone to check in with the news editor at the small-town daily newspaper. As editor of a morning publication, the day often ended at midnight or later, so it was a routine to call the office when a new day began. Sept. 11, 2001, was not like any other day though. The call to the office was met with a “Is your TV on?” The reply was “no.” “Turn it on.” “What channel?” “Any channel.” The horrific events taking place in New York, Pennsylvania and Washington, D.C., consumed network coverage. My initial exposure occurred within an hour of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Next emotion: Get a plan in place. Surprisingly, that West Virginia city had several connections to those life-altering events. We learned just how true the term “it’s a small world” really is. The news editor and senior writer were making calls, learning about local ties to the scenes, and following through on leads. The newsroom was buzzing with activity as each and every staffer — regardless of usual duties — pursued information. Looking back, everyone handled the situation well. Our job was to gather and disseminate the news. And, despite the emotions of what had happened in our nation, we handled the task at hand. An Associated Press article streamed across the lead position. The remainder of the front page was filled with local accounts. Now, as the 9th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, the memory of that day and the images remain seared in the psyche. Our lives were forever changed that day. On Saturday, we must take time to remember and honor those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, and thank those who braved the horror in search and rescue operations. And, yes, the memories linger . . . Melody Kinser

LETTERS | Reader Views After all these decades of knowing how pollution greatly contributes to sickness, the majority of us still have our heads in the sand. Regarding the letter from Joan Austen entitled “Parents What the entire issue breaks down to is: the proof of scimust set example for kids”, I agree with Ms. Austen that the ence – heart attacks, 23,000 annually; asthma attacks; and parents do set the example for their children.

Why use race in example?

Therefore, I must ask Ms. Austen this question: Why did you feel it was necessary to point out the races of the people used as examples in your letter? How does their race have any thing to do with anything in your letter? Racism runs rampant in our country and, yes, Ms Austen, parents do set the example for their children. Lisa Rettig Mechanicsville

Clean air: How do you feel? There are so many crucial issues facing our planet today. Look at the pollution levels in our country and around the world — it is astounding!

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6 b

36,000 premature deaths per year from polluted air alone. Do we really need to listen to the EPA? Or should we believe the corporate polluters? Well, it appears the corporate polluters and their lobbyists have succeeded in winning so far. They were able to stall the Senate legislation on clean energy and climate this summer. Are we going to stand by while corporate polluters block progress on the Clean Air Act? What can each of us do anyway? I ask every citizen of this planet to ask him or herself where they stand on this issue. If you believe science is wrong — we don’t need to do a thing about pollution — then, just forget about the problem, turn your back and walk away. If you believe this planet is in trouble with pollution and the impact it is having on the health of our families and ourselves – then do your research, pick up a pen and start writing to every representative, governor, president or newspaper you can

Reasons to reject socialism

7. Socialism promotes radical equality. A supposed absolute equality among men is the fundamental assumption of socialism. Therefore, it sees any inequality as unjust in itself. 8. Socialism promotes atheism. God, the soul and the next life are illusions according to socialism. 9. Socialism promotes relativism. Everything evolves, including right and wrong, good and evil. There is no place for the Ten Commandments, neither in the private mind nor in the public square. 10. Socialism mocks religion. According to Karl Marx, religion is “the opium of the people.” Lenin has said, “Religion is a sort of spiritual booze in which the slaves of capital drown their human image, their demand for a life more or less worthy of man.” Does the above sound like the “road” that our president says is the right direction? You be the judge. May God bless America and deliver us from the wrath of Socialism. Gary Allen Colonial Heights

Special programs oﬀered at Shelton House

n Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 1112, Richmond National Battlefield Park will present special living history and ranger-led programs at the Totopotomoy Creek Battlefield in Hanover County, site of the historic Shelton House (also known as Rural Plains). Volunteers portraying the 1st Rhode Island Artillery will provide cannon-firing demonstrations, while others portraying Union headquarters staff will discuss the role of the Shelton House as headquarters of the Union Army Second Corps. Program hours are from 10 a.m. until 5 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. Sunday. Parking is available at Rural Point Elementary School at 7161 Studley Road in Mechanicsville and shuttle service will be provided to and from the event. The event, parking and shuttle service are free. Artillery demonstrations by Battery A of the 2nd Rhode Island Artillery will take place at 11a.m., 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Sunday. During the fighting along Totopotomoy Creek on May 29-31, 1864, the 1st Rhode Island Artillery was positioned in the yard of the Shelton House. Following each demonstration, park rangers will present guided walking tours of the Totopotomoy Creek battlefield. Also during the weekend, volunteers will portray Union Maj. Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock and his staff as they appeared while headquartered on the lawn of the Shelton home during the Totopotomoy Creek fighting. Additionally, the first floor of the historic Shelton House will be open to tour throughout the event. Built in about 1725, the home has connections to Virginia patriot Patrick Henry (he wed one of the Shelton girls in 1754, perhaps at Rural

Today Richmond National Battlefield Park owns and maintains 124 acres of the Totopotomoy Creek battlefield, including the Shelton House and much of the ground down to the banks of Totopotomoy Creek over which Hancock’s men attacked on May 30 and May 31. The property was acquired by the National Park Service in 2006 and the site is under rehabilitation and development prior to being regularly accessible for visitors to the park. Historic Polegreen Church, located just two miles southeast of the Shelton House, also figured prominently in the fighting along Totopotomoy Creek. The site of the church is located at 6411 Heatherwood Drive off Rural Point Road in Mechanicsville and offers additional interpretation of these events.

The site is located six miles northeast of Mechanicsville (one mile west of Rural Point Elementary), off State Route 606 in Hanover County. A driving tour of the battlefields includes 13 separate sites with five visitor centers along an 80-mile route. A full day is required to experience the entire battlefield park. The main park visitor center is located at the historic Tredegar Iron Works at 470 Tredegar St. in Richmond and provides museum exhibits, audio-visual programs and orientation services

omore music major; Anthony Francis Vicario, senior information science and systems major; and Marshall Muse Wildberger, junior information science and systems major. To be named to the Dean’s List, a student must have taken 15 or more credit hours and have a grade point average of 3.4 or above with no grade below a C.

Borkey named to Who’s Who Victoria Borkey of Ashland, a senior majoring in psychology in the College of Science at Virginia Tech, has been named to the national list of Who’s Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges this year. Each year, Virginia Tech selects students to be honored for their academic achievement and demonstrated leadership by naming them to the list. The students will be included in the distinguished biographical volume http://www. w hosw hoamongstudents. com/home.asp that honors the nation’s most noteworthy students of higher learning. Borkey is one of 91 Virginia Tech students that have been named to the Who’s Who national list this year. Who’s Who Among Students is one of the most prestigious awards the academic community can bestow. Who’s Who candidates are chosen on the basis of scholarship ability, participation and leadership in academic and extracurricular activities, citizenship and service, and potential for future achievements. Virginia Tech’s Who’s Who recipients were recognized at the student recognition banquet on April 10 and at the University Student Leadership Awards on April 29.

Selections to Who’s Who Among Students are made each fall by a selection committee convened by the department of student activities, a unit within the Division of Student Affairs. The campus nominating committee, created to nominate the upper-classmen and graduate students eligible for the program, is composed of faculty, administration and members of the student body. Who’s Who was founded more than 70 years ago. It was created so that those deserving recognition for their outstanding academic accomplishments, diverse service and scholastic contributions could be honored without dues or fees.

Commandant’s List released The following students were named to the Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets Commandant’s List: William Pauley of Mechanicsville, a civilian track cadet and sophomore majoring in sociology in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences; Margaret Castelvecchi of Montpelier, a Navy cadet and freshman majoring in general engineering in the College of Engineering; and Travis Taggart of Montpelier, an Army cadet and senior majoring in political science in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences. In order to make the list, cadets must earn a 3.0 or greater grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) during the previous semester. For the fall 2009 semester, 358 cadets were selected for the Commandant’s List. The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets has been producing military and corporate leaders since the university was founded in 1872. It is one of just two remaining military corps within a large, primarily civilian university. The corps holds its members to the highest standards of loyalty, honor, integrity and

self-discipline. In return, cadets achieve high academic success and a long-lasting camaraderie with fellow members.

Juniors hold non-commissioned officer positions and seniors hold officer positions. Company commanders lead 50 to 60 cadets, Battalion commanders lead about 250 cadets and the Regimental Commander leads the entire corps.

Raiders raid and rumble past Cadets 42-7 By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local For years, Atlee’s football team has had a less-than-fearsome reputation among its neighbors. Last year, though, the Raiders had a surprisingly strong start and inspired some talk of possible playoff contention this season. With the way the Raiders manhandled visiting Benedictine in their season opener, the talk of playoff contention will go on for a bit longer. Atlee took advantage of Cadet confusion and turnovers—with the defense scoring three of the Raiders’ six touchdowns—and drubbed Benedictine 42-7 Friday night. The Raiders (1-0) amassed 305 yards total offense, along with 118 yards in interception returns and another 22 yards in fumble returns. They were led by quarterback Drew Ferguson, who completed eight of 18 passes for 101 yards and one interception, and who carried the ball six times for an additional 45

yards. Running back Trevor Elie had 13 carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns. But defensive back R.J. Price had the marquee play of the night, a 101-yard interception return that gave Atlee a 21-7 lead with 3:43 remaining in the first half. Benedictine (1-1) picked up a respectable 191 yards total offense, with quarterback David Geary accounting for 103 of those yards in the air and another 73 on the ground, but turnovers—two fumbles and two interceptions—cost it dearly. Despite the victory, Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson was hoarse from hollering at his players during the night. The Raiders’ victory might have been even more lopsided if it weren’t for the 10 penalties for 106 yards called against them. Two of those penalties see ATLEE, pg. 39 ` Jim Ridolphi/For The Local

Laughter will roll in Nationwide race By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com

This scene from Toyota Motorsports Sponsafier commercial features NASCAR driver Kyle Busch and the ‘Kimmy Car’. Busch will wear the pink fire suit and drive the pink car in Richmond this weekend.

NASCAR fans may think that Kyle Busch has finally lost his mind when they get a good look at him on Sept. 10 prior to the Virginia 529 College Savings 250 at Richmond International Raceway. No one would question that there have been times

when the wild and wooly young driver could tone things down a bit, but almost certainly, no one expected him to take it this far. In the Friday night Nationwide race, Busch will trade in his proverbial black hat for a more enchanting shade; pink to be exact. Not only will Busch don a pink fire suit, he will also be driving a pink car adorned with kittens, puppies, butterflies, a unicorn and baby seal as part of Toyota’s ‘Sponsify Your Ride Contest’.

What could turn into the best Nationwide ticket sale booster RIR has ever seen is the result of Toyota Motorsports teaming with advertising firm of Saatchi & Saatchi to create the riotous incongruity that has race fans rolling in laughter. “The ultimate goal was to get fans involved in the process,” said Ed Laukes, Corporate Manager of Marketing for Toyota Motorsports. “Rather than pushing something out

What is the current state of NASCAR?

Photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local

When it comes to the current state of NASCAR, opinions vary but Richard Petty, Rusty Wallace, Doug Fritz, Jamie McMurray and David Ragan agree that while the product being produced is good, to some point tinkering with the sport acceptable.

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Speculations abound when it comes to what it will take for NASCAR to survive the current economic crisis facing the nation. Race venues across the nation have suffered a noticeable decline in attendance, some drastically. The same holds true for television viewership. While many businesses sit back to ride out the recession, NASCAR rarely stands still. History has shown that the sport is one which undergoes constant tinkering for improvement. But does that lead to the question of whether NASCAR is in danger of one day becoming extinct. Many drivers feel that the current decline is only a common trend of the sport amplified by the economy. So what actually is the current state of NASCAR? “You know it’s really hard to say,” said Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty. “Are we going to compare it with 10 years ago, five years ago or last year? It could be better. We could have better racing. We could have more fans. We could have more enthusiasm. But we’ve been through this before, as far as NASCAR, if you’ll look back at history. They’ll grow real good and then they kind of flatten out and then they’ll grow some more. So right now we’re in a flat state.” David Ragan, driver of the No. 6 UPS Ford agrees with some of Petty’s

The Mechanicsville Local

sentiments. “I think the sport is relatively strong compared to the world we live in today,” he said “You look at five years ago and you could arguably say that NASCAR was on the rise and it can only rise for so long. I don’t think it’s declined much but it’s certainly evened out. “You look at some of the attendance and some of the revenues and it’s down, but the world we live in is down,” Ragan said. “I think it’s on line with what we see in everyday life.” Over the course of this year, NASCAR has made varying subtle changes to the sport in order to boost viewership and race attendance. The year started off with a decision to let the drivers settle issues on the track. Later, NASCAR made the decision to fine drivers for making negative comments about the sport. Most recently, NASCAR revamped their schedule for next year, removing races from a few long-standing venues such as Atlanta Motor Speedway while adding events new locations such as Kentucky. Jamie McMurray, driver of the No. 1 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet, semi-jokingly suggested they could have gone further. “There’s some tracks that I’d wished we would have gotten rid of that we didn’t and hopefully that will happen in the future but they’re doing what they think is best for the racing and for the people.” While subtle changes are okay, Petty feels the sport should be wary

of carrying it too far too fast without further evaluation. “I don’t know that they need to make wholesale changes because I don’t know what’s lacking right now,” he said. “Is it the enthusiasm of the fans? Is it the money for the fans? Why aren’t people coming out like we’d like to see? “I would think that they need to be chipping away,” Petty added. “I would think that if you turned it all over and changed it completely you’d lose fans that you’ve already got and is the new thing going to draw new fans? We’ve got to walk a real tight area. We’ve got to keep the old fans happy and entice new fans to come along.” One track that has been doing well despite the downward trend is Richmond International Raceway. Because the NASCAR schedule is decided from year to year, RIR considers itself a three-fold winner with the 2011 slate. Not only was the track able to maintain their hold on two races next season, but they also kept the same dates, including the ‘Last Race to Make the Chase’ for the seventh consecutive year, something that is never guaranteed. “You never know for sure,” said RIR President Doug Fritz said. “You do a year by year sanction with NASCAR. We’re confident that we’ve got two races next year. We’re hoping that it’s going to be two races a year for a long, long time. (But) Atlanta probably said that 10 years ago.”

As such, Fritz said it is important for local race fans not to take for granted that Richmond will always have two races. “No question about it,” he said. “You never take anything for granted.” But the plateau and downward trend could be slowly reversing itself. Television commentator Rusty Wallace feels that the NASCAR product has improved over the course of the year. “You look at the numbers and there’s more passing this year,” he said. “There’s more frammin’ and bammin’. “It’s real aggressive and it’s real exciting and that’s great,” Wallace added. “But we’ve got to fill more seats up. We’ve still got to get the TV ratings

up and this economy has really taken a zap out of a lot of people. We’ve got to do what we can to make it exciting for people again.” McMurray concurred. “Last year was certainly a struggle for us with TV ratings and fans and economy,” he said. “But it does seem like the economy is slowly getting better, maybe not for everyone but for some it is. And when I talk to the racetracks and it does look like there’s more people in the seats than there were last year. I’m sure it’s tough but in my opinion just looking at the stands and listening to the track promoters it does seem like it’s getting better and better and hopefully that trend will continue to grow.”

Despite loss, successful debut for Scott By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com

Charlottesville, VA- On Saturday night, Lee-Davis alum Latrell Scott took the final step on the path to becoming a NCAA Division I head football coach when he strode onto the Scott Field in Charlottesville. Though his University of Richmond team came up short on the scoreboard, falling to Virginia 34-13, the Spiders showed enough prowess under Scott’s leadership to indicate they will provide excitement throughout the season. For over half the game, the Football Championship Series Richmond team gave the reenergized Football Bowl Series Cavaliers all they could handle. With 11 minutes to play in the third, the Spiders trailed by one

point, 14-13 and would have possibly led if not for an opening series defensive collapse. Virginia took the opening kickoff and drove 77-yards on five plays in 2:14 to take a 7-0 lead. But Scott did not attribute giving up the quick score to nerves. “I don’t think it was jitters,” he said. “I think we tackled poorly. The very first play Perry Jones made a nice run and we just missed the tackle. “I think once the guys settled in and caught up to the speed of the game we were okay,” Scott added. And for the next two quarters of play, Scott’s team went toe-to-toe with the Cavs. Spider running back Kendall Gaskins showed the team grit and never say die attitude that

Scott was looking for midway through the first quarter. Taking a hand off at his own 30-yard line, Gaskins appeared to be smothered by the Cavalier defense but he kept on pushing. “We tell our guys to keep on playing,” Scott said. “That’s the mark of Kendall Gaskins. He’s a tough kid. He’s a physical kid. They didn’t blow the whistle, he kept his feet churning and popped out of there.” Gaskins burst out of the crowd into open field and did not stop until he crossed the goal line 70-yards later to knot the game at 7-7. Another player who will make the season exciting for Richmond is junior quarterback Aaron Corp. Rolling out of the pocket, Corp showed

mobility and a strong, accurate arm. Then just when you thought you saw it all, Corp showed more. Facing third and eight from his own 36-yard line, Corp showed his speed, dashing through a hole and racing up field 32 yards before being stopped by the Virginia secondary. Corp said he felt no rust after nearly a year layoff and transfer from USC. “I felt fine physically,” he said. “Mentally I was in the game the whole time.” “He’s what we thought he was,” Scott said of Corp. “He’s savvy. He’s a leader. He made plays with his feet. He made good decisions. I think once he gets all of his tools back we’ll be fine.” After field goals to bracket

the halftime break, Richmond only trailed Virginia by one, 1413 and then 21-13 headed into the fourth. But missing starters Kevin Westervelt from the offensive line and Donte Boston at wide receiver began to show its toll down the stretch against the much deeper FBS Cavaliers. “I think Virginia was able to wear us down a little bit,” Scott said. Turning to power football down the stretch, the Cavs tacked on two fourth quarter TDs to create the final margin. With Scott coming to Richmond from an assistant position at UVA and Cavalier head coach Mike London coming from the Spiders, there was much hype leading up to the game. For that reason alone, Scott was ready to move on.

“We got through the Virginia game,” he said. “It’s something that’s been talked about for a long time. We came out on the short end but right now our focus is to be ready for Elon in two weeks.” With their Sept. 18 home opener in the newly renovated Robins Stadium, there will be no less hype when the Spiders take on Elon. And who did Scott evaluate the first game performance of he and his staff? “I don’t know,” he said. “We’ll go back and we’ll watch it. I think we managed the game well as a staff. There’s different calls we’ll make in different situations. We just have to do everything we can to put the kids in the best situation as possible.”

she says to her dad, “I love you” and he says, “Oh, thank you sweetheart,” and she comes back with, “No, write that on the spoiler.” I said, that’s perfect. That to me just said rough and tumble Kyle Busch all the way.” What was Busch’s initial reaction? “I just said, ‘All right, whatever, let’s do it,’” Busch said. “I wasn’t too offended by it all so it wasn’t too big of a deal.” Now the popularity of the promotion has been more than anyone could have ever expected. “There’s been a huge reaction,” Busch said. “Everybody has been pumped about the commercials and more pumped about seeing me in the pink suit and driving that car. “When they told me we were going to run the Sponsafier car for the Richmond Nationwide race I was pretty excited,” Busch said. Busch made sure he shared his enthusiasm with his Nationwide crew chief Jason

Ratcliff. “I was making fun of Kyle and he said he was going to fix me up and he said he was going to make sure I was going to get one,” Ratcliff said. “I told him I was not getting a pink fire suit, but unfortunately I’m getting a pink fire suit. I have to find out what kind of shoes you wear with a pink fire suit. I don’t want to look out of place and wear my black shoes with a pink fire suit. I’m going to try to stay up on top of the pit box and hide.” Ratcliff also pointed out that there are unique problems with driving the decorated car. “I told somebody last week that if we’re going to race a pink car, we better run good because you can’t show up with a pink car and run bad. If you do, it’s like a double whammy.” Laukes admits it has been hard to keep a straight face while dealing with the Busch car. “We always get a smile when we see it,” he said. “I really love the fact that we’re engaging with the fans and they’re enjoying the

fact that rough and tough race car drivers are out there and we put them in compromising positions and they’re fine.” And what does Laukes think the reaction to a pink clad Busch is going to be during driver introductions in Richmond? “I think people are going to be laughing hysterically,” he said. Laukes is unsure whether the pink and fluffy Busch will sell more tickets at RIR but he is certain that it will increase interest in the race. “If they’re not going to show up at the race, you’re going to see more and more people who are going to turn on the beginning of the race, the prerace driver interviews and anything else that’s going to be on television because they’re going to love the fact that he’s here.” “It should be fun and I know it’s something that Kyle’s been looking forward to,” Ratcliff said. “He loves that pink suit. You know Kyle, he likes to stand out in the crowd.”

to the fans, asking the fans to participate.” When the first contest ended with the Memorial Day race in Charlottesville, over 60,000 cars were in the approved gallery. After over a million online votes, the “Praying for Karson,” car designed by Fay Knape of Danbury, Texas came away the winner. With such a huge response, Sponsafier 2 was quick to follow and it was kicked off by a series of wacky commercials featuring Joe Gibbs drivers, Busch, Chesterfield native Denny Hamlin and Joey Logano. Laukes said the entire process has been certainly been entertaining. The first commercial shoot featured Logano as the avatar for a seventh tier Warlock and pictured the chain mail clad driver talking to Michael Waltrip, dressed as Napoleon, and Martin Truex Jr. in a fire suit made of pot

holders. “That was the first commercial that he (Truex) ever did with Toyota,” Laukes said. “I was scared to death that Truex was going to show up and say, ‘Oh my God, what have I gotten myself into with these guys?’” In the next spot, Hamlin’s car became a means by which a young man could send a message to his secret love Amanda and featured David Reutimann’s

unforgettable comeback to Hamlin’s question, “Who doesn’t love, love?” “I love, love,” Reutimann replies. But when Laukes came across the ‘Kimmy car’ designs he thought it was a perfect fit for Busch. “I saw the drawings and I saw pink bunnies and baby seals and the rainbow and then I read the script,” he said. “The little girl Kimmy, when

Hawks line up for another run toward playoﬀs By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com In some ways, the 2010 Hanover Hawks will look much like the squad that made a run to the Div. 5 state semi-finals last year. In other ways it will be far different. While returning a solid base of players on both offense and defense, and preseason injury bug has forced head coach Joshua Just to scrap any ideas of a two platoon system and have players go both ways. “A lot of key guys we were expecting to be backups are out,” Just said. Among those keys is junior Xavier Crocker who broke his collar bone two days into camp. Crocker, a legitimate Division I prospect, who was expected to start at both wide receiver and defensive back, will not return until mid-season. But Just has taken the adversity and turned it into a positive, creating more overall depth through a one platoon system. “Guys have to rotate at positions so some guys you’re not used to seeing on defense will be there,” h e said. “Other guys will

rotate on offense and give them a break. It gives us a different look so we’re excited about it.” OFFENSE The Hawks return a solid foundation from the team that saw them finish just shy of the state championship game last season. Sophomore Sam Rogers returns at quarterback more knowledgeable than the freshman who showed grit and poise last season, surprising even the expectations of his coach. “I knew he would work hard but I didn’t’ know he would work to that level,” Just said. “His poise is just something that he showed as a freshman. With confidence I’m sure he’s going to have an outstanding year.” Backing up Rogers will be sophomore Andrew Knizner, who Just deems equally as talented. “I feel I have the two best quarterbacks in that class in the whole area,” he said. “That’s a nice luxury to have. If something were to happen with Sam with the way that he runs, we’re not going to miss a whole lot putting Andrew in there.”

Senior Deane Cheatham returns at running back, bigger and stronger than he was during a stellar campaign last season. “Deane’s a growing boy,” Just said. “He’s going to be a very good football player for us. He’s probably the most competitive football player I’ve ever seen.” Others who will spend time in the backfield are seniors Curran Henry, Marzae Brooks and Kenny Morris in the slot position. Junior Rashard Thornton will be another key back. The Hawks’ ground game should be even more potent than last season not only due to Rogers, Cheatham & Co. but also because of a solid O-line to provide the protection and down field blocking. “We’re very excited,” Just said of his senior-laden line. Second team all-district center last season, Hunter Lee returns as a

tough-natured kid who gets everyone into position. Guard Brad Goldsmith was an all-district first-teamer last year and tackle Sal Volo will be the foundation on the right side of the line. Junior guard Todd Edstrom was a key backup last season and will take up a starting role this year. Several players are fighting for the left tackle position but currently sophomore Josh Hutto holds the upper hand. “We’re pretty excited about what he’s going to bring with his athleticism and demeanor,” Just said. The loss of key receivers Danny Trsic and Jeremy Yorke to graduation was further complicated by Crocker’s injury, but the players stepping into the positions are not without experience. Seniors Tre Facison and Blake Underdown both started last year. Also playing at receiver will be sophomores Usman Mahmood and Knizner. Marzae Brooks will return at tight end where he finished out last season. When Crocker

returns at mid-season the Hawks receiving crop should be deep and experienced. DEFENSE There’s no question that the two biggest holes for the Hawks to fill this season come at linebacker where they graduated two players currently on Division I rosters; Blake Jones (Ohio) and Matt Pocta (William & Mary). “You can’t replace a Blake Jones,” Just said also noting that down the stretch, Pocta played some of the best linebacker the school has ever seen. A pair of O-linemen will fill those linebacking spots. Goldsmith will make the move from the D-line to linebacker while Lee rotates from center. Having all started on varsity, juniors Patrick Sorey, Josh Knestaut and Henry Reeves will take up slots in the D-line. Crocker was expected to start in the defensive backfield but until he is healthy sophomore Dante Haynesworth may have to carry his load. Also at DB are three-year starters Marzae Brooks and see HANOVER, pg. 39 `

FAYETTEVILLE, NC- The Randolph-Macon football team put up 35 first-half points en route to a 54-14 road victory over Methodist in the 2010 season opener for both squads. R-MC (1-0) racked up 452 yards of total offense as it tallied its highest point total since scoring 55 points against Guilford in 2008. The Yellow Jackets got an efficient 15-for-20, 220 yard, three touchdown performance from senior quarterback Austin Faulkner. Faulkner’s main target, Earl Peoples, made eight catches for 149 yards and two scores. R-MC also gained 202

yards on the ground. David Fetter (Lee-Davis) led the Randolph-Macon defense with 10 tackles, 2.5 of those coming behind the line of scrimmage. Jeremy Bowry (Matoaca) also had five tackles in the win for R-MC. R-MC held Methodist (0-1) to a three-and-out on the game’s opening drive, then took just three plays to score, as Faulkner and People’s hooked up on a 54yard scoring strike. Thaddeus Scruggs then helped the Yellow Jackets double their lead, scampering for a 10-yard score with 5:34 to go in the first quarter.

Scruggs struck again at the 9:18 mark of the second quarter, running for a 15-yard touchdown to put R-MC up 21-0. After Methodist got on the board with two-yard plunge by Joe Strickland, R-MC scored two touchdowns in the final 2:11, including a nine-yard pass from Faulkner to Peoples with 31 seconds to go in first half, putting R-MC up 35-7 heading into the intermission. The Monarchs defense held the Jackets on the first possession of the second half, but MU fumbled the punt return, which was recovered by R-MC and led to a scoring pass from Faulkner

to Chase Phillips, pushing the R-MC advantage to 41-7. Randolph-Macon will be back in action this Saturday when it entertains 2009 NCAA D-III quarter finalist Johns Hopkins. Kickoff is slated for 2 p.m. in Ashland. From R-MC Athletics

“We’ve got a good quarterback. He just tried to do too much tonight,” said Benedictine coach Greg Lilly. “We’re asking him to do a lot, too. He’s going to get better and better each week.” Both Geary and McSweeney were struggling with intermittent cramps, which Lilly attributed to the heat as well as Atlee itself by its control of the tempo. The Raiders did a good job of keeping the pace up because of one thing—conditioning. Johnson said the Raiders devote the last 30 minutes of each practice to getting in better shape. “We give them plenty of water, but they run,” Johnson said. “We will be in shape, but everything we do is fast-paced. That’s the way we practice, that’s the way we play. … We don’t have the best talent, but we’re going to be in shape. So when we get to the second half, we’re going to outrun you, out-gun you.” Atlee and Benedictine traded possessions for much of the first quarter, but the Raiders were the first team to score on a 22-yard fumble return by Thomas Pulisic with 1:50 remaining in the quarter. Joseph Pulisic converted the PAT. The Cadets responded quickly, scoring in little more

than a minute on Geary’s 57yard run. Geary kicked the PAT to tie the score at 7-7. After a Cadet punt early in the second quarter, Elie ran a two-play drive all by himself, running from Atlee’s 49 to the Benedictine 5-yard-line, then running the remaining five yards to give the Raiders the lead for good with 8:39 in the first half. Price’s interception return with 3:43 left all but sealed Benedictine’s fate. Atlee scored again on its first drive of the second half, this time on a 14-yard run by Elie with 5:59 in the third quarter. Just seconds later, Cody Farrar intercepted a Geary Pass and ran it 17 yards for a score. The Raiders, flush with a lot of substitute players, scored the final time with 4:34 remaining in the game on a 7-yard run by Jarred Hall. Joseph Pulisic’s sixth PAT of the night made it 42-7. Despite the disappointing outing, Lilly is optimistic about Benedictine’s future. “We’ll be alright. Everything that we are about—military school, discipline, hard work, commitment and sacrifice for one another—we’ll get right back to work on Monday with those things and try to have an unselfish attitude.”

led to touchdowns being called back. “We had a lot of penalties. Normally I don’t get this mad,” said Johnson, who added that the Raiders picked up more penalties Friday than they had in the first six games last year. “I’m happy we won, but I’m pretty upset because of all the penalties we had. You can’t do that against good teams.” Benedictine had its problems, too. First was what seemed to be a lack of coordination. The Cadets used up all three of their timeouts in the first quarter as they found themselves with the wrong number of personnel or the wrong personnel lining up for plays. Then they had several players, including quarterbacks David Geary and Ben McSweeney, intermittently struggling with cramps and other injuries. As the pressure mounted, Geary—the starting quarterback—tried to force things. Those attempts to force plays to go their way led to things going horribly wrong, such as ending in two interceptions, both of which were run back for touchdowns.

H-SC holds on for 45-30 win over Averett DANVILLE, VA - In their 2010 season opener against Averett University, HampdenSydney football earned its 500th victory since the first season in 1892. With the 45-30 win, the Tigers improve to 1-0 while extending their road winning streak to 16. Junior quarterback Travis Lane (Mills Godwin) was solid in his debut as a starter, throwing for 348 yards on 27-of-37 accuracy with four touchdowns and one interception. Junior Kirk Rohle (Hanover) amassed 118 yards and two scores on the ground. On their second possession, the Tigers kicked the offense into high gear with Lane hitting junior Sean Cavanagh (Clover Hill)for a 10-yard pass, followed by 21 yards on the ground from Rohle. Lane then went back to the air, hitting Kyle Vance on back-to-back strikes to put the Tigers on the board. After the defense again put the clamp on Averett, Rohle found the endzone on a oneyard scamper to cap off a 4-play, 39-yard drive to put the Tigers

up 14-0. Midway through the second the Tigers got the ball on their own five-yard line, and Lane connected on consecutive passes to Mike Goad (Matoaca), Cavanagh and Anthony Mancini (Benedictine) for 54 yards. After a combined 35 yards from Rohle and Vance, however, the Tiger offense was held at the Averett five-yard line where junior David Prizzia connected on a 22-yard field goal to give the Tigers a 17-0 advantage. With 2:33 remaining in the half, the Tigers put another seven on the board when Lane and Goad connected on a 14yard touchdown pass. Up 24-0 to start the third, Rohle and the Tigers took just 1:57 to make it 31-0 on a sevenyard run from the junior back. Averett responded at the 11:42 mark on a Jeremy Dixon touchdown, but after H-SC’s Regis Craft sparked the next drive with a 46-yard kickoff return, Lane hit Cavanagh on a four-yard pass just two and a half minutes later to up the lead to 38-7. Trevor Ikwild picked off a Kirkland Brown pass to put the

Tigers in another position to score. They did just that as Lane threw his fourth touchdown pass of the day, this time to John Michael Sparagna (Atlee). Down 45-7, Averett came up big in the fourth quarter scoring three touchdowns and a safety to put the game at 45-30, but their comeback was not enough as the Tigers kept possession for the final three and a half minutes of the game. On the day, Rohle finished with 40 yards receiving. Vance led all receivers with eight receptions for 142 yards and a touchdown while Cavanagh snared eight passes for 100 yards and a touchdown. Defensively sophomore Kenny Fryman (Hanover) led the way with 11 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery. Steven Fogleman (Hanover) had ten tackles, while Ikwild added nine tackles, one interception and three pass breakups.

New coach, new look for C-feds this season By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com

The Lee-Davis Confederates will look much different this year due to substantial losses both on the field and on the sideline. Not only does the team need to find athletes to replace the talent of players such as Will Connerley, Brandon Angus, Tucker Walton, Phillip Gardner, Justin Becker, John Alexander, Josh Rogodzinski, Cory Thacker and Matt Doty, they also lost head coach Jason Meade. Therefore new Lee-Davis head coach Zach Hayden knows he has his work cut out for him coming into this season. “We lost a lot of leadership with our team,” he said. “The kids that graduated were good football players and they’re going to be surely missed.” Lack of numbers have forced Hayden to switch to a one platoon system going into this year. “I think we’re going to have to play kids both ways as much as we can,” he said. “We want to play as many athletes

as possible. We want a lot of people to touch the field but the best players are going to play. If that means we have to play kids both ways we will.” “It’s been an adjustment but I think we’ve gotten better from it,” said senior William Coalson. The Confederates come into the season with no lack of motivation after Virginia Preps predicted them to finish the year 2-8. “We have ability, we just need to put a lot of work into it,” Hayden said. I think if we work hard, things will take care of themselves. Let people think we’re going to be 2-8. That’s their opinion.” With so many new cogs in the wheel, the Confederate players know what it’s going to take to be successful this season. Senior linebacker Brandon Robinson points towards effort. “It will take a lot of hard work, time and effort,” he said. “Just our team working together and bond-

ing like a family until we’re one.” “I think the most important thing it’s going to take is trust,” said senior safety Tyler Moody. “Make sure we all trust each other and get our job done. Once we get that, then we’ll be unified as a team and have great success.” OFFENSE The Confederates are not entirely without experience when it comes to replacing Gardner at quarterback. Senior William Coalson logged substantial minutes in the season finale against Atlee after Gardner was injured. But Hayden has yet to make a decision on who will get the starting nod. Also in the competition is newcomer Israel Vaughn, the younger brother of former Richmond Spider and current Carolina Panther Josh Vaughn. Senior Caleb Wyatt returns at running back and he will be joined by classmates DeVonte’ Scott and Emmit Atkins. Protecting the pocket will be the responsibility of seniors

Jonathan Munn, Wes Tuck, Brandon Robinson and Xavier Wilson. Also in the mix are senior Tanner Cottman and sophomore Russell Munn. The least experienced group on the field will be at receiver. Seniors Chance Stone, Tre’fonz Bassett and Tyler Moody will be joined by juniors Tyrell Eaton, Shane Reynolds, Jesse Smith and William Castelvecchi. Senior Travis Stallings will take up the tight end slot and he will be joined by a newcomer to the offensive side of the ball, Calvin Davis. Last year Davis played strictly defense but he will work both sides of the ball this season. DEFENSE The defensive line will be a mix of old and new with Calvin Davis, Devonte’ Scott, and Wes Tuck being joined by Russell Munn, Wilson and junior Chris Croston. Robinson looks to be a dominant force at linebacker and he will be joined

by seniors D.J. Doane and Brandon Woody as well junior Zach Yates on the inside. In the outside linebacker slots will be Vaughn, Coalson and Atkins. Juniors Jesse Smith and Frankie Gerloff will also be in the mix. The secondary has speed in the form of Moody, Bassett, Stone, Wyatt and Eaton. SPECIAL TEAMS William Castelvecchi returns as the punter and kicker after a solid junior year. But special teams will look different than in the Meade years. Hayden does not expect to seek the two-point conversion as often as his predecessor. “I think we’ll be a little bit more conservative with our special teams,” he said. “We have a good kicker. I like the gunslinger mentality but we’re just going to go with our basic kicking game.” Robinson, could also see time kicking off. The Lee-Davis season begins on Sept. 10, when they host preseason No. 1 Hermitage at 7 p.m.

Lee-Davis will look for senior leadership in a year of transition. Safety Tyler Moody (22), linebacker Brandon Johnson (53) and outside linebacker William Coalson (6) will be key components in the Confederates’ defense.

Lady Hawks take Raiders in second period 2-1 By JP Beauchamp For the Mechanicsville Local On a stiflingly hot Wednesday afternoon, the Atlee and Hanover field hockey teams faced off in a game to decide the early upper hand in the Capital District race. In the contest played at Atlee, Hanover got revenge for three losses to the Raiders last season to take the game 2-1. It was an aggressive game throughout. Five minutes into the game, the Hawks got on the board when Juliana Moore got in close and wrangled the ball into the goal from an Abby Bellows corner pass. Moore, playing forward and midfield on the left side was pleased to see a payoff. “We had been practicing a lot; we worked so hard, and we wanted to beat Atlee so bad...so we beat them. We worked together, Abby Bellows assisted me. It was very exciting.” The Raiders replied 14 minutes later when junior Cam Blair tapped one in off an assist. “It was pretty exciting because I usually play center defense,” Blair said. It was Blair’s second appearance at forward this season, having played the last three minutes of Atlee’s game at Douglas Freeman. “I didn’t get much done up there, but the last game I scored,” she said. Hawks’ forward, Maria Piccolomini definitely brought her A game, setting Atlee defenders scrambling to cover Hanover offensive plays. Piccolomini, a senior, was a freshman the first year the Hawks began playing field hockey. Time and again Piccolomini drove up the field with her teammates to keep the ball in Raider territory and set up shots on goal, many of which were successfully rebuffed by Raider keeper Annie Lassiter. But the game-winning goal came on a breakaway when Piccolomini took a Bellows’ pass from the backfield and streaked up the right side virtually undefended with teammate Taylor Culley in the middle. “Just get the ball in the net…team

effort,” Piccolomini said she was thinking. “Make sure we win.” As Piccolomini closed in the last six meters, she managed to edge the ball past Lassiter on a cross shot that just caught the left corner of the net. Hawks’ head coach, Sarah Bottorff said her team played up to the standard of the goals they set. “I always expect my team to play strong,” she said. “I expect them to play good technical hockey; I expect them to play like we’ve been practicing. That’s what I said to them before the game. This is one of the games we’ve been working towards since August 3.” Communication was a point that was stressed and they took it to heart in the second period. “I thought they picked it up in the second half,” Bottorff said. “It was silent for the first ten minutes of the game. No talking. That’s something that we definitely need to work on. We’re always improving. We’re always trying to get better. I think Megan Tripp had a great game; Sarah Hudson had a great game. We just had a lot of people who really stepped it up for us tonight.” Playing eight seniors and seventeen juniors, the Hawks are not at a loss for seasoned talent, which should make them a formidable force this season. “We’re very, very deep and we’re very, very fortunate we also have a deep JV team,” Bottorff said. “So I expect a lot out of this group, and they have risen to my expectations.” Certainly Atlee’s loss of nine seniors, six of them starters, from last year could not be denied. Yet, head coach Alyssa Farling is very optimistic. “We have some good strength with our current senior class and juniors,” she said. “Girls I pulled up from JV did a really nice job on JV and have transitioned well to varsity.” Among those stepping up their play was Jessica Nunnally, who has demonstrated her talents consistently every scrimmage and every game. “She’s really gotten much more

aggressive and has great ball handling skills,” Farling said. “She plays really hard at wing on the right side.” Also rallying on defense were Becca Alston and Ally Ritchie, who consistently disrupted offensive plays by the Hawks. “I was happy with the game,” said Farling. “I would have liked the score to have been the opposite, but I wasn’t unhappy with the way they played at all.” Looking for improvement, Farling will emphasize hustle. “I feel like we kind of went in waves,” she said. “There were a couple of spots where I think we started to look tired; and we weren’t hustling to the ball as well as we could have.” Hanover........................................ 1 1—2 Atlee ............................................. 1 0—1 H: More, Piccolomini A: Blair Saves: Kessler (H) 10; Lassiter (A) 4 Records: Hanover 1-0 Capital; 3-0; Atlee 0-1, 1-2

Patrick Henry pushing for rebound from ’09 By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com After a disappointing 3-7 campaign in 2009, the Patrick Henry Patriots are taking a new outlook on this year’s football season. With many new players and a new head coach the change should come easy. Becoming only the second head coach the Patriots have seen in the past 30 years, Sam Hart takes over the reigns from the legendary Ray Long Jr. who walked the sidelines for 28 seasons. The coaching transition comes smoothly because Hart served as an assistant for 19 years. “That’s certainly been an advantage for me, being in the program as long as I’ve been and the kids already knowing me,” Hart said. And though the player turnover was substantial, Hart is optimistic about this year’s potential. “We lost a lot of players, but this group, when they were

sophomores on the JV, they had a pretty strong year,” he said. “We’ve got some talent. We’re not as deep as we’d like to be but the cupboards aren’t all the way bare.” The biggest key for Hart this season is avoiding the use of a large number of two-way players, something that wore down the team last year. “Right now we have four kids in that role,” he said. “We’re trying to eliminate it if we can.” Hart does not believe Patriot fans will notice much change in the style of play under his coaching tenure. After 15 years as the defensive coordinator, Hart’s defensive schemes will remain the same. Last year’s offensive co ordinator also returns so little will change on that side of the ball.

However, Hart does plan to make changes as necessary. “We’re going to do what best fits their talent and put all of the kids in a situation where they’re going to be successful,” he said. “If we can do that for each individual, hopefully we’ll be successful as a team.” While an abundance of young players will step into new roles this season, Hart feels the year’s success rides on his upper classmen. “We’re going to depend heavily on the senior class,” he said. “I was always taught the seniors win the ball games and the juniors and sophomores, they just help out. We’re going to lean on those guys, the seniors, a lot.” OFFENSE With the graduation of D’Vonte Derricott, Carter Neal and Brandon Wong, the Patriots suffered big losses when it comes to moving the ball on t he ground. But Hart

believes he has the talent to take over. Senior Brian Houchens returns at tailback and junior Josh Thomas makes the switch to fullback from playing linebacker on the JV squad last season. Junior Montel Minor could also see time at fullback this season. Senior Jayrin Waller returns as a versatile, athletic and dangerous quarterback for the second season. Last year, the speedy and elusive Waller showed moments of brilliance, but also took a pounding, leading to mental break downs. Hart expects much improvement this season. “I think you’re going to see him settle down a little bit,” the coach said. “He matured a whole lot…I think he understands the system a whole lot better and what we’re asking him to do out of it.” When the opportunity comes to throw the ball, Waller will have some big targets in 6-1 senior Kenny Mock and 6-3 sophomore Raymon Minor. Senior Gibson

Vaught returns at tight end. Protecting the pocket will be the responsibility of senior Tom Walker and juniors Ed Marable, Davie Holmes and center Cody Crawley. Walker, Marable and Holmes all started last season. This year Walker returns bigger, stronger and more versatile. Senior Hunter Albrechta could also see time on the line. DEFENSE As one of the team’s two-way players, Tom Walker will also take a slot up on the defensive line and occasionally be joined by Ed Marable. Gibson Vaught will work at defensive tackle. At defensive end, Hart is expecting big things from junior Terrell Archer, who moved up from JV last season. “A very aggressive kid,” Hart said. “He’s worked really hard so he should help us.” Returning at linebacker will be junior Andy Joyce. C l ass mate Montel Minor

makes the move up from JV a season ago. The secondary will be comprised of a mix of players including senior JC Smith. He will be joined by Brian Houchens and Kenny Mock, all of whom played the position last season. Raymon Minor will be a new addition at defensive back. SPECIAL TEAMS Ironically, Patrick Henry’s biggest and most potent loss from a season ago comes at kicker with the graduation of Hayden Dyer. “You never think about feet as a weapon but Hayden was a weapon for us last year,” Hart said. “He’s going to be tough to replace.” Dyer’s backup last season, senior Louis Carillo, will take over the starting role on kickoffs, PATs and field goals. “Hayden was certainly in a category by himself as a kicker but we feel as though we have an adequate young man in that capacity for us this year,” Hart said. Kenny Mock and Hunter Albrechta will split time as punters.
