Team eﬀort brings county Early numbers: enrollment up through Hurricane Irene By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Departmental teamwork made the difference in assisting Hanover County residents – who suffered $2.9 million in personal property losses — when Hurricane Irene rolled through on Aug. 27. Those efforts were praised during last Wednesday’s regular meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. Before Irene had passed, Fire/EMS Director Fred Crosby said 82 percent of the county’s residents had lost electricity and 200 roads were impassable. There were no deaths of serious injuries as a result of the

storm. An emergency shelter was established at Hanover High School that Saturday. In the first three days, Crosby’s department re-sponded to 856 incidents and assessed damage to 94 homes and businesses. Four Fire/EMS vehicles CROSBY were damaged by falling trees as personnel responded to calls.

The Emergency Communications Center enhanced staffing during the event and maintained dual dispatch channels to meet demand. Personnel also worked to maintain operation of tower sites. Two sites experienced generator failures and the 911 system experienced a failure. However, Crosby noted, the new radio system performed well. The Sheriff ’s Office, which received 1,027 calls in the first 72 hours, developed an incident plan to keep overtime at a minimum. Deputies were situated in heavily traveled intersections to direct traffic see TEAM, pg. 17

Hanover County Public Schools started the 20112012 year by beating the trend in terms of enrollment. Preliminary figures presented on Sept. 13 to the Hanover County School Board show 18,181 for kindergarten through 12th grade. Dr. Michael Thornton, assistant superintendent of Business and Operations, said that number “actually exceeds our forecast by 116 students.

That’s a relatively new trend for us over the last four years.” “The prior three years,” he THORNTON added, “we were on a declining trend.” He said the school system hopes “to see a flattening out as the economy see ENROLLMENT, pg. 19

Beverly Williamson is not your typical “motorcycle riding mama.” The 64-year-old has a Harley-Davidson Softail Deluxe and rides with her husband, friends and a group named Motor Maids. Motor Maids was founded in 1940 and was the first women’s motorcycle riding organization. The group recently was invited by the International Associations of Firefighters Motorcycle

Group and the Orange County Choppers to participate in a tribute ride on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 to honor fallen firefighters and those who died when the World Trade Center was attacked.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

We should brag about our county Some may say this writer is a cheerleader when it comes to singing the praises of those who deserve such recognition. I’m OK with that. Last week, two examples served as reminders of why Hanover County is a great place to call home. During the Sept. 14 regular meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, Col. David Hines of the Sheriff ’s Office and Chief Fred Crosby of Fire/EMS reported on the efforts of government staff when Hurricane Irene rolled through our community. The teamwork and concern for residents were so impressive — and heart-warming. It’s good to know we live in a county where neighbors helping neighbors still exists. More details on the extraordinary work of county workers can be found on today’s front page. And, on Aug. 24, we ran a story about the video Hanover County Public Schools did at the end of the 2010-2011 term. Before last Tuesday’s School Board meeting, it aired — and I loved it! As a matter of fact, I’ve watched it several times. There are more than 9,000 hits. Check it out — http://www. youtube.com/watch?v=OTIYVeuZx3E&feature=youtu.be.

Cadets Billups, Snipes, and Hooe went to the Area Five Leadership Academy this summer. The Academy was geared toward growing the individual leaders and establishing teamwork methods. Cadet Julia Snipes has suggested that “the best thing about the Leadership Academy was that nobody was lesser than another because it was all about teamwork”. Cadet Snipes, like Billups and Hooe, was able to truly put into action leadership qualities her peers and teachers had already known were there. We in the unit congratulate Cadets Billups, Snipes, and Hooe for being stellar representatives of our unit. Cadet’s Snipes and Hooe graduated in the top 50%. Several of the NJROTC cadets were given the opportunity to join with Army Cadets in the Jr. Army Summer Boot Camp. Cadet Joyce described his time with the Army as an “interesting and challenging experience that motivated [his] personal growth.” Cadet Scruggs has replied, when questioned, that she enjoyed Boot Camp because “it was fascinating to learn how the Army operates”. Both cadets report that they learned much about personal responsibility and leadership during the six day camp. Cadets Wills, Howard, and Joyce graduated with top honors. Cadet Tyler Billups was given the chance to learn more about sailing this summer. He applied, was accepted and then attended the Sail Academy in Norfolk. Cadet Billups described the time as “exhilarating and fun” as he learned about the management of Sail boats, the maintenance of rigging, and knot tying. Cadet Billups was also given the opportunity to represent our unit before Captain Robert Gumpright, our regional manager, while he was at the Academy. Several Hanover County students interested in Law were sponsored by the American Legion this summer to attend the Virginia Law Cadet, including NJROTC’s own Cadet Alyssa Garrison. They spent five and a half days experiencing life as a State Trooper-in-Training: they ate cafeteria food, slept in trooper barracks, and reported for Fire Arms Training. Cadet Garrison’s time as a Junior Virginia Law Cadet has influenced her greatly and she is positive about going into Law Enforcement and is considering returning to the Virginia State Police Academy. Cadet Garrison garnered the physical fitness award.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF TRADITION AND PRIDE! Commissioned December 9, 1989, USS NORMANDY (CG 60) is the third Bath, Maine built Aegis Cruiser and the 14th ship of the Ticonderoga class. Under the auspices of the Navy League, Lee-Davis cadets joined other Units from the Richmond area on July 29 to spend the day on board NORMANDY cruising the Chesapeake Bay. The cadets were crazy about the field trip on the USS Normandy. Cadet Commanding Officer Hewell described the event as “unforgettable”. Over and over again cadets remarked that the trip was much better than was expected and indeed that it was unforgettable. During the trip the cadets were awed and inspired by what they saw and experienced on the trip. None were sorry about the time the trip took out of their summer vacation.

One day something — a real emergency — will happen (God forbid) and emergency vehicles will not be able to get where they need to be to resolve the issue. Think about it, folks, that’s why they call them “Fire Lanes” and “Emergency Lanes” and not “The Drop Off and Pick Up Your Kid Lane.” That’s called the parking lot. Use it. (Editor’s note: The e-mail referred to in the letter follows.) A message from Hanover High Schoo Due to safety concerns, we request that you park in the student parking lot at the end of the school day when picking up your child. In the past we have had concerns with traffic blocking access to and from Rt. 301. We also have concerns with traffic and parked cars blocking the school fire lanes. This problem could impeded emergency equipment if needed. We hope this will make a safer passage for you and your child. Melvin Southworth Hanover

Keep economy sound, no taxes This is the first time we’ve ever written a letter to you but we were concerned when we read in an earlier edition of The Mechanicsville Local that Hanover County may lose its AAA bond rating. We feel strongly that, on Nov. 8, we need to elect individuals who will work hard to keep Hanover’s economy sound without raising our taxes. Sean Davis, candidate for Henry District supervisor, is one such individual. As a small business owner, Sean has the practical, common sense business experience needed to address challenges and bring additional revenue to Hanover County.

Also, Sean understands Hanover County, its people and what makes us the best in the nation. His dedication has been seen through his tireless volunteer work with Hanover County’s schools, Atlee Little League and Mechanicsville American Legion. As a member of the Hanover Historical Society, Hanover Tavern and Historic Polegreen Church, Sean understands the need to both grow our economy yet still preserve our historic resources and our unique quality of life. Sean Davis is uniquely equipped to handle the serious issues our great county faces and to move this county forward in the right direction. Richard and Stacy McGrath Mechanicsville

Support for incumbent This letter is in support of the candidacy of Ed Via for reelection to the Ashland District seat on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. I have known Ed for 10 years and served with him on the county Planning Commission. I have found Ed to be a levelheaded person who listens carefully before making decisions, and can be relied upon to take well-reasoned positions on the issues, unafraid to take a strong stance for what he believes is best for the county. He has proven himself to be a capable supervisor, having served as vice chairman and chairman of the board during the past four years. He also is active, often behind the scenes, on many committees and organizations. Ed is responsive to his constituents and has worked hard to serve them faithfully. He also has sought to build a stronger relationship between the county and the Town of Ashland. He devotes countless hours on county matters, working

essentially full-time on what is considered by many to be a part-time endeavor. In short, Ed is a known and proven quantity. We are fortunate that has chosen to run again, and he fully deserves to be re-elected to another term. Harold Padgett Mechanicsville

Interpreting The Bible It should not be surprising that The Bible is interpreted in different ways, considering the many inconsistencies it has. For example, the penalty for adulterers, homosexuals, defiant children and abused animals is death in the Old Testament (Leviticus 20:8-16), but “Thou shalt not kill” is a commandment. Then in the first century came the New Testament and a new penalty, the denial into heaven for homosexuals. However, Jesus said he did not want to change even one letter of Moses’ books (Matthew 5:1718), so that means we are back to killing people for their sins. Yet another inconsistency in The Bible that allows (or forces) people to pick and choose the moral values they want to live by. So the real question should not be what The Bible instructs us to do (or teaches us about) to homosexuals (or other “sinners”), but rather why are we basing our modern moral values on an ancient text that is blatantly wrong on the major moral issues of our time, such as slavery or women’s rights? It is time to take a hard look at what makes a society successful, humane and just and allow that to instruct us on how to live our lives and write our laws. While it is controversial whether there is scientific evidence for being born gay, there is no scientific evidence of a heaven, a hell or a god. Amy Adams Mechanicsville

ObamaCare gets worse ObamaCare was supposed to cost less than what we currently pay for health insurance. Well, guess what? Recent news over all the networks are saying that it will actually cost more. More Obama lies. This is on top of the possible unconstitutionality of the bill in the first place currently being considered by the Supreme Court. Also, I’m told that this bill will cost $1.3 trillion per year and it doesn’t even get fully enacted until 2014. This cost will undoubtedly be added to the already staggering National Debt. Aetna of Indiana is pulling out of the health insurance industry because it can’t compete with it. How many more thousands of jobs will be lost as a result? This is a signal that the Obama agenda of having a single-payer (government) health insurance is working, which will be a travesty. How will you like 15 or more government bureaucrats standing between you and your doctor deciding whether you should live or not? Let’s pray that ObamaCare will either be repealed or declared unconstitutional. Also, remember everyone who voted “yes” on this horrendous bill in the first place at the voting booths in 2012.

Hope is the key word in helping Rwandan kids By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com

ena Buchan’s summer was hardly ordinary. She spent three weeks volunteering with a nonprofit organization in a village in Rwanda. The Mechanicsville resident, a 2003 Atlee High School graduate, first shared her story in April, just weeks before she headed to Africa. She left Virginia with a desire to help an all-girl team known as Play for Hope. A friend from the University of North Carolina, Brian Beckman of Portland, Ore., is one of the founders in Kigali. “The organization runs sports programs for Rwandan

encounter are orphans or current/former street kids. “Our first part of the trip was spent learning about Rwanda’s past, specifically in relation to the genocide, and working with the 12 volunteer coaches that make the Play for Hope sports teams possible,” Jena said. “Many of the coaches are survivors of the genocide and former street kids,” she added. During her time there, she helped provide the coaches with training on basic injury prevention and treatment, proper warm-up/cool-down techniques for sport, and nutrition. The nutrition aspect, she said, can be difficult to accom-

plish, because “many of the kids are often lucky to eat at all some days, never mind eating the right things to help their sporting performance.” She listened to the stories of the players and the coaches, noting that many coaches are

“constantly faced with having to decide between paying jobs and continuing to volunteer coach at the sacrifice of not always knowing if they will be able to afford food or rent.” The determination of the participants was realized when Jena learned some “walk up to two hours just to come to practice, play, then walk home, often with no real home to go to or with any food.” “Play for Hope has helped some of the kids find homes, return to school, or trade work, and just find a reason to smile again,” Jena said. With more than 500 kids taking part, she said there is still much work to be done. On the second leg of her trip, Jena met with the female athletes. They are relatively new to the organization, “as females in sport is still new and often the girls are ridiculed and unsupported by their families — for those that have families.” Part of her work focused on educating them on breast cancer and how to check for it, since it is one of the biggest killers of women in Eastern Africa due to the lack of awareness and education, which results in many cases not being found until the later, deadlier stages. Jena also provided as many

of the girls as possible with sports bras that were donated by Adidas. Even though there were more than 200 girls, she had about 100 sports bras. She is working to find more donations. “I spent time just talking with the girls about what it means to be a female athlete, encouraging them, and simply providing them with a female to talk to and ask questions to,” she said of her final days there. “I left with many of the

girls thanking us for simply taking the time to come see them and believe in them — something no one ever really had done.” Since she came back home, Jena does plan to continue working with Play for Hope. Her goal includes finding more sports bras and other equipment for the girls, raising more funds to help pay the coaches and let them continue to make an impact in the kids’ lives rather than have to quit coaching to take other paid work,

and raising funds to ensure the players get at least one meal a day. For more on Jena’s Rwandan experience, she has guest posts on playforhope. org/blog/bblog. Her e-mail address is jenabuchan@gmail.com. Jena also invites organizations wanting to learn more about Play for Hope and ways to get involved to contact her by e-mail. She is available to come talk to groups about the work of Play for Hope.

for encouraging their children to participate it seems rather redundant. I observed so many parents just letting the children purchase whatever they wanted. A lot of parents even brought meals but most were from fast food establishments and again very unhealthy. So many children appeared to be overweight already and it saddened me. In some cases, you could tell the child had a confidence problem or wasn’t quite in the mix with the others. Not to mention I was concerned that some could have an attack right there. This is happening more and more with the youth of today. We set the example for the children and is this truly the one we want to set. In addition to that, we now have various food shops in Mechanicsville that are definitely there for the dollar and no concern for the patrons being served. I sat there with a small serving watching so many already unhealthy adults/children selfservicing huge. I did not find any light/fat free, etc., choices. The establishments were clean with good customer service and certainly have a place in our community, but with just

a little tweaking could be so much better and healthier for all. While the economy is still suffering, and I overheard some patrons discussing the impact on them, I was somewhat puzzled when that same family of four spent approximately $25. Just imagine even at once weekly $1,200 per year just for a snack. That could do a lot toward helping others, a child’s college education or help so many get their finances in order. While I will continue to support our recreation centers in providing great exercise programs for our children, I definitely will think twice about spending “my” hard-earned money for foods that I could make better, healthier, cheaper and, yes ,just as tasty at home. I in no way mean to step on any one’s toes. I know the responsibility falls mostly on we the parents but if we all try a little bit harder we can accomplish so much. Our children and we ourselves will live healthier, happier and yes much longer lives. “Isn’t that what we all truly want?” Gaynelle Morris Mechanicsville

toon in your paper that depicts a Tea Party member playing the fiddle while Washington burns. Cartoons like this attempt to shift the blame from the politicians in charge (Republican and Democratic), that are responsible for the current economic conditions to ones who are trying to stop the out of control spending and government waste that are causing the inflation, debt and uncertainty in our country. The Tea Party conservatives are currently a minority whose compromise to cut, cap and balance the federal government’s spending was rejected and replaced with a plan devised by the Republican and Democratic majorities, which allows them to continue playing politics while the problems (out of control spending and government waste) continue. To think that they are responsible for the current economic conditions shows ignorance at best. This cartoon is nothing more than propaganda aimed at swaying the votes of illinformed people against those who could possibly turn the federal government around. I hope you will think twice before printing any more of these ridiculous cartoons, which reflect poorly on your paper and contribute to the demise of our great country.

Beverly Williamson, of Mechanicsville, stands between two brothers that are professional firefighters at the Fallen Firefighters Memorial on Riverside Drive in New York City on Sunday, Sept. 11. They were part of a tribute paid by thousands to the 343 fallen firefighters and others who died when the World Trade Center was attacked on Sept. 11, 2001. The brothers are firefighters in Houston, Texas, and New York City. Both signed a firefighter’s helmet that was given to Williamson by Hanover County Fire/EMS. Williamson said she plans to give the helmet, along with several over commemorative items, back to the a local fire department.

City. “There were some 3,000 to 4,000 riders,” Williamson said. “Although anyone could sign up for the ride, it was mostly firefighters and 160 Motor Maids. Firefighters in this country came from as far away as California and there were even firefighters from Europe who came and rode.” “It was an honor and privilege to be invited to take part in the ride,” she said. “The ride was an awesome event. There were 343 firefighters that died that day, and I’ll never forget how touching it was to be there as these firefighters honored their fallen brothers.” Williamson, who has been riding 14 years, and Gale Stalter were the only Hanover County Motor Maids to take part in the ride. “We had 20 girls from Virginia who made the trip,” Williamson said, “We had five in our group that rode together to New York. There were two from Mechanicsville, two from Warrenton and one from Timberville.” She said there was some disappointment when the group found out the tribute ride wasn’t going to end at the World Trade see MOTOR, pg. 16

PRF sales Goddard will try to break record deadline approaches By Ken Upshaw County executive director Sept. 30 is sales closing deadline for the Pasture, Rangeland, and Forage Program (PRF) offered through private insurance agents. This program offers insurance on hay and pastureland in all Virginia counties. PRF is an area risk policy covering livestock grazing and forage land based on a Rainfall Index. The Rainfall Index, using National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center data, bases insurance indemnities on the deviation from normal precipitation within the area for a specific time period selected by the producer.

The Goddard School in Mechanicsville will participate in a record-breaking attempt during The Goddard School Block Party event on Friday, Sept. 23, by supporting the national event for the Guinness World Record for the “Largest Game of Simon Says in Multiple Venues.” In order to break the record, Goddard Schools, collectively, will need 12,215 participants playing the game at the exact same time. The attempt will be supported by participating schools from the 370-plus franchised schools across the nation. “Our children are so excited to work together in an attempt to be a part of a special record. All of us, young and older, have great memories of playing the game ‘Simon Says.’

Couple the power of play with a record-breaking attempt, and we have the recipe for a very special day,” Kathy Denunzio, owner of The Goddard School in Mechanicsville, said. Friday’s event will be part of the bigger Goddard School Block Party experience, which takes place Monday through Saturday, Sept. 19-24. The event will engage children and their families in a variety of fitness, nutrition and learning activities based on the core curriculum and enrichment programs associated with the FLEX™ Learning Program offered at The Goddard School.

Center. “Since we weren’t going to end our ride at the World Trade Center, a group of us rode into New York City on Saturday to see some of the sights,” added Williamson. “We went to Ground Zero, but couldn’t see much because of all of the construction. The memorial there wasn’t open to the public and wouldn’t be until after we left.” “One thing I’ll never forget was talking to the chief at Fire Station 10. Fire Station 10 is right at Ground Zero, and, as things started to happen that day, he said things got really crazy. The chief said firemen and first responders were coming in and out, grabbing equipment, fire suits, helmets and other garb they needed. The fire suits and helmets have computer chips on them to identify who they belong to. So, let’s say Fred came in and put on a fire

wear during the ride. “Hanover County gave me a helmet with a big 6 on it because I live in District 6,” Williamson said. “When we got to Newburg, we found out that because of the speeds we’d be going that we couldn’t wear the fire helmets. So I had firefighters there sign mine, and I plan to give it back to the fire department, along with several other commemorative items I brought back.” While Williamson jumps on her Harley every chance she gets, she and husband Chuck do own a car. “We have 2000 Toyota Celica,” she said. “It has a lot of miles on it and gets a lot of use.” When Williamson goes to Motor Maids’ events, spouses also can attend. “Husbands are always welcome at any of our rides or events,” she said with a smile. “We always include them, but they do have to ride in the back.”

A Community Yard Sale, Bake Sale, Car Wash and Craft Show will be held from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24, at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church at 7046 Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville to benefit the church’s mission work in Costa Rica.

where lighting systems were not operating. Col. David R. Hinesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; officers also worked to reduce 200 road closures to 20 within a twohour period. Deputies operated 15 chain saws during the storm. The Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office also provided security and traffic control at ice and water distribution locations. Efforts to clear roads were aided with the creation of a task force made up with Fire/ EMS, Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office, Parks & Rec, Virginia Department of Transportation, Virginia Department of Forestry and Dominion Virginia Power. County staff helped residents by distributing 5,100 cases of bottled water and 5,700 bags of ice over a three-day period. Two distribution points â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Cold Harbor Elementary School and the Hanover Community Center in Montpelier â&#x20AC;&#x201C; were maintained. The teamwork continued with assistance being provided to Parks & Rec in refueling generators at stations, tower sites and facilities. Most government offices and buildings were without power, including the 16 fire stations Crosby supervises. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In times like this, those generators are like gold to usâ&#x20AC;? in keeping services going. Hanover County did not experience the flooding that was associated with Hurricane Isabel in 2003, but, Crosby added, the predominantly wind event prompted more power outages. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was a bigger event than Isabelâ&#x20AC;? in terms of the windâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence. Departments joining forces and their roles during Irene included: â&#x2014;? Geographic Information System (GIS) provided up-tothe-minute road maps, showing road closures and hazards. â&#x2014;? Citizens Emergency Response Team (CERT) provided assistance at the emer-

enced vehicle damage, books and water damage, as well as overtime costs. Nineteen of 26 schools were without power during the peak of storm. As of Sept. 14, the county was not included on the list of localities in the federal disaster declaration. Crosby said an application has been submitted. At that time, he said the status should be known in seven to 10 days. Communication through the onslaught of Irene was more accessible due to social mediaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s influence with the use of smartphones. The Emergency Operations Center opened on Aug. 27 and remained open for 68 consecutive hours. At 7 p.m. that day, a state of emergency was declared. According to Crosby, representatives from various departments staffed the EOC during the weather event. County Administrator Cecil R. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rhuâ&#x20AC;? Harris Jr. had asked Crosby â&#x20AC;&#x153;to walk us through the first 72 hours of Irene.â&#x20AC;? Assistant County Administrator Jim Taylor and Hines presented the supervisors with a Public Safety Strategic Plan. The Board of Supervisors adopted the initiative in 2007. The five-year strategic plan advances the concept of a safe community. In terms of public safety, residents consistently give the

Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office high marks in terms of Hanover County being a very safe place to live. Customer service for Fire/EMS is rated as excellent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speed of the response is an issue, but we consider the size of the county as well,â&#x20AC;? Taylor added. In other business, the supervisors: â&#x2014;? Approved the issuance of general obligation bonds not to exceed $6.79 million to the Virginia Public School Authority. The sale is tentatively scheduled for late October. The adopted School Capital Improvement Plans for fiscal years 2011 and 2012 include capital projects to be funded with the VPSA bonds. Facility and mechanical improvements targeted include: new roofs, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system upgrades, new lighting, wireless infrastructure and parking improvements at various county schools. â&#x2014;? Heard from Edwin Gaskin, the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new economic development director, who referred to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;frustratingâ&#x20AC;? economic times. A Hanover County resident, he said he accepted the position because â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt I could make a difference n the economic development struggle.â&#x20AC;? He also said the county is â&#x20AC;&#x153;looking for the quality investment dollar.â&#x20AC;? He added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Economic development is a task that touches almost every county department.â&#x20AC;?

According to Thornton, the early total of HCPS students, as well as other placements, was in the range of 19,230 to 19,234. “We’re beginning to see at the ninth grade level kids coming back in the district that were out,” he added. Dr. Jamelle S.. Wilson, superintendent of schools, reported on the first day of the new school year. She said she was “very pleased to be able to tour 23 of 25 buildings on the 6th of September.” Joining Wilson on the tour were School Board vice chair and South Anna District representative Ann F.H. Gladstone and communications specialist Linda M. Scarborough. “We were on time and we spent quality time in those 23 schools,” Wilson said. “I was easily distracted, but I think that’s because once a teacher always a teacher.” She said there is a “magnetism” when children are seen in the classroom. Wilson, who became the county’s 12th superintendent this year, said she was “very pleased with the first week.” Gladstone said Wilson “is like a kid in a candy shop when you put her in a school. It was a very high energy day.” At the beginning of last week’s meeting, the School Board watched a video filmed on June 15, the last day of the 2010-2011 school year, by the staff of TV99. More than 1,000 students, administrators and faculty members gathered at Hanover High School to take part. “People turned out in force,” Wilson said, “and I hope you agree that we just might go viral.” Last Tuesday, the number of hits was nearly 9,000.

It marked the seventh time a Naturalization Ceremony had been held at Scotchtown and the celebrants came from 29 countries. Most of the new

citizens, six, came from Mexico and four were from the United Kingdom. They heard words of inspiration and praise for their desire and efforts to become citizens from Judge Dennis W. Dohnal and keynote speaker, the Honorable Elmo G. Cross Jr., a former member of the see CITIZENS, pg. 21

You can make a difference.” Dohnal reminded them that they came here for many reasons. “A door of opportunity has opened for you,” he said. “Step through it and make yourself and America stronger.” Carlos Mauricio Pava is from Colombia and took the Oath of Allegiance with his wife, children, father-in-law and friends watching. “I’m very excited to become a citizen,” he said. “It’s a great opportunity for me to show my thankfulness to this country for all the opportunities I’ve received since coming here.” His children used words like “cool” and “exciting” in describing their feelings for their

probably knows more about this country now than most of us who were born here do. It makes me think maybe we should go and take a little refresher history course.” For Rie and Robert Richardson, the ceremony was special in a different way. “I’m in the military, the U.S. Marines,” said Robert. “Rie is

from Japan and is very excited about becoming a citizen. For me, it represents everything that I fight for. Now, I’m fighting for her as a U.S. citizen as well as the rest of the country.” As the ceremony concluded, Judge Dohnal had one final order for the new citizens: “Take the rest of the day off. Go out and celebrate.”

YMCA is scheduled to open in mid-November and Jana Smith, operations manager, said the new location would fill a gap in their coverage of the Hanover area. There are currently two YMCAs in the Ashland area, and the Atlee location is easily accessible to the rest of the county. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This YMCA fills a gap in out community. There is a true need in the Atlee and Mechanicsville communities for our services and family programming. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming in to be part of the community and fill those needs,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. The new YMCA, located across from the Kroger in Rutland Commons shopping center will offer a variety of services. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a wellness center, which has strength training equipment, a group exercise center, senior programming and a child watch area where parents can drop off their children while they exercise,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a rock-climbing wall for the kids and a multi-purpose room to serve the community in the 10,000square-foot facility.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If community organizations are looking for a place to hold their meetings, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have one available,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. The new YMCA is a good fit for the community, according to Smith, and the new facility will tailor its schedule of events to best suit its new and existing Hanover members. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Y traditionally focuses on the communities it serves,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatever the community needs is what we try to offer. In this community, we have a very large family population as well as a substantial senior population, so thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s where we will focus our efforts. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll program for the whole gambit,-- from small children to seniors and families,â&#x20AC;? Smith said.

8014 Lee-Davis Road, Mechanicsville • 746-8665 www.bennettfuneralhomes.com Bennett Funeral Home was established in 1897 to serve the needs of Richmond families. Since then, this locally owned and operated business has continued to serve the community with its unique combination of caring and convenience. This tradition of excellence can be seen in the four beautiful chapels located throughout the Richmond area: centrally located on Cutshaw Avenue in the city, on Broad Street Road past Innsbrook, on Ashbrook Parkway in Chesterfield and serving the HanoverMechanicsville area on Lee-Davis Road. All four facilities are under the personal direction of Charles D. Morehead, President. In a time of need, you can turn to Bennett Funeral Home with trust and confidence. It serves families of all faiths with personal service, before, during, and after. There is a long tradition of professionalism and caring. One way in which Bennett cares for families is by offering a convenient and personalized pre-need program.

‘Becky’s New Car’ underway “Becky’s New Car” is being presented through Nov. 6 at Barksdale Theatre at Hanover Tavern at 13181 Hanover Courthouse Road in Hanover. The play, by Steven Dietz and directed by Billy Christopher Maupin, stars Melissa Johnston Price and features Christine Fonsale, Daniel Moore, David Bridgewater, Evan Nasteff, Maggie Roop and Gordon Bass. The playful, wacky and wistful comedy “Becky’s New Car” maps out a road trip that lets the audience ride shotgun in a way most plays don’t dare.

In this life-affirming story about the road not taken, Becky – without really planning to – takes the chance to test drive another life. Tickets are $38, single; $35, seniors; and $19, students. Special group pricing is available. For more information, or to purchase tickets, call Barksdale Theatre’s Box Office at 282-2620. Online ticket sales are temporarily unavailable. A detailed performance schedule is available online at www.BarksdaleRichmond.org. Information submitted by Judi Crenshaw, publicist, Barksdale Theatre.

Gordon said the experience was memorable and most enjoyable with his wife – and Patti Labelle. His friend Sue Forbes Watson said Gordon was being modest about his singing, as he performs solos at Abner Baptist Church and always appears in the Ashland Musical Variety Show.

LOCAL CHIROPRACTOR OFFERS ADVANCED TREATMENT FOR CHRONIC PAIN SUFFERERS

Dear Friend, Have you ever wondered why 1 out of every 3 people suffers from one or more of these following conditions? • Recurring Headaches • Neck Pain Stiffness • Jaw Pain (TMI) • Numbness/Tingling or Pain in the Arms and Hands • Chronic Muscle Spasms and Tension • Lower Back Pain • Spinal Disc Rupture/Pain • Joint/Arthritic Pain • Poor Posture You yourself may be a victim of chronic pain and discomfort, and think that “you’ll just have to learn to live with it!” Recurring Pain: Your Body Out of Balance Recurring pain is a distress signal…your body is telling you something is out of balance. While pain relievers may temporarily turn off the alarm switch, they don’t put out the fire. In essence, they seldom correct the CAUSE of the problem and also produce dependency, dangerous side effects, and adverse reactions. Fortunately, many types of painful conditions can now be RELIEVED and even ELIMINATED through recent advancements in chiropractic care. These new gentle, but highly effective treatment protocols are designed to correct the cause of the problem and thus, prevent it from returning. If you’ve ever thought about going to a chiropractor for a painful condition you suffer from but you’ve hesitated because

you aren’t sure it is right for you, please read on… I’m Dr. Tripp Stover and in light of the latest research on chronic pain conditions and new treatment methods, I have decided to hold a “Chronic Pain Evaluation” to help anyone who is living in the Mechanicsville area suffering from chronic pain and would like to discover a solution to their problem. I am holding this “Chronic Pain Evaluation” as part of my ongoing community service program. In the past, I’ve helped hundreds of people feel better and live healthier, more productive lives following my program of “spinal-corrective” care. And now, I would like to introduce more people to the many healthful benefits my spinal care program has to offer. So, if you’ve always wanted to see what advanced chiropractic care can do for you, now is the best time to do so because . . . What does this offer include? Everything to make an accurate diagnosis and recommendations for your chronic pain… • An in-depth health consultation and health history • A complete chiropractic examination directed at finding the cause of your headaches • A full set of specialized X-rays to determine if a misalignment in your spine is causing your headaches. These X-rays would normally cost you at least $200 • An analysis of your X-rays and exam results so we can see what needs to be done to help relieve your pain

HOW WE DIFFER…FROM ALL THE REST! Here at Stover Chiropractic, P.C. it is our premise that unless a patient’s spine is restored to its optimum and correctly aligned position, long-term results cannot be achieved. For this reason, the advanced treatment procedures we use allow for this necessary spinal change to occur, thus not only providing pain relief to the patient, but also providing the opportunity for long-term corrective results. This approach minimized the chance of the spinal and/or nerve problem For one week only, Sept. 14-21, I will from returning. hold my “Chronic Pain Evaluation” and Over 13 years experience in helping provide my comprehensive evaluation service for only $20 (normally, a charge of hundreds of people just like you.

David O. member for the Virginia Chiropractic

Prior to chiropractic care, lower back flare-ups would last up to 3 months. Now, I usually recover within 3 days. Jay L. When I first saw the doctor, my back and my legs were aching, causing me to limp. I had suffered for about a year before coming to see Dr. Stover. I have been helped greatly. I’m not limping anymore and my legs have stopped aching. I haven’t completed treatment yet, but already feel 80% better. Johnnie C. Now Is the Time for Chiropractic Care Chronic pain is the most frequent reason people seek medical advice and treatment. This year, more than 100,000 people will lose their jobs because the back and neck pain they suffer from will get so bad they will no longer be able to work! It’s true! What’s worse, the people will end up ruining their relationships with their spouses and children. And not just because they’ve lost their jobs, but because their families get sick and tired of constantly being around someone who is always sick and tired! These 100,000 people will one day find themselves all alone and out of work. And if that isn’t enough, any recreational pursuits they used to enjoy (golf, fishing, bowling, tennis, jogging, you name it) will be a thing of the past. Listen… don’t become a statistic…. Do something about it NOW before you become one of these 100,000 tragic cases. DON’T WAIT…RELY ON MY EXPERTISE You were unfortunate enough to be suffering from a chronic, painful condition.

GRIEFSHARE GriefShare is a Bible-based support network for people dealing with the death of a loved one. Groups meet and follow the 13-week video driven program developed at GriefShare’s Wake Forest, N.C., headquarters to help people through the darkness. Some have called it an Emergency room for emotional trauma. Among the components: video seminars with experts in grief and recovery, group discussion with a focus, and workbook for personal notes, study and reflection. Since each weekly session is self-contained, people don’t have to attend in sequence. They can start at any time.

$15 for entire seminar Scholarships available, Childcare is available if arranged in advance.

If you have a pet member in your family, you owe it to yourself and your pet to come to this special event. Have your pet blessed and talk to a variety of vendors who can address your every pet need or concern. Looking for that special pet? There will be lots of opportunities here! This is the only Pet Fair event in Hanover.

Grief is an emotion that can render us completely helpless, void of feeling and hopeless. But it’s hard to avoid. If you live long enough, you likely will experience grief. How do you prepare for it? Whether a loss is sudden or you’ve had time to gird for it, the loss of a loved one can send you into a tailspin from which recovery is long and hard.

For additional information, call our church office and someone will be glad to speak with you.

Raiders rout Patriots for record third time Oﬀensive show and Atlee defense downs Patrick Henry 44-6 By JP Beauchamp For The Mechanicsville Local The long walk from the parking lots to Raider Stadium through Friday night’s crisp fall air was worth the effort for of the host fans. Not so much for the fans of Patrick Henry who saw their Patriots fall to the #8 Raiders 44-6. It was a record third consecutive year that Atlee has downed their rivals to the north and the win marked a remarkable turnaround for a Raiders squad that ended a 16-year losing streak to PH in 2009. Their one and only victory against PH before then was in 1993. Despite the fact that they managed to bookend the game with a couple of long drives, for the most part the Patriots (0-2) offense proved fruitless against the Raiders’ (2-0) defense. Patrick Henry, got in the red zone on their opening drive and closed their last with the longest TD pass of the evening, when sophomore quarterback Tyler Phelps monstered a pass to Bryson Wong for a 51-yard score. The Patriots managed to avoid being blanked, but not demoralized, when Atlee’s special teams frustrated PH kicker, Felipe Benitez, blocking the extra point attempt. The block was further evidence to the fact that Atlee’s

defense has been the game changer so far this year. Leading the way against the Patriots were senior namesakes, Cole Woody and Cole Stout with 10 and 8 tackles respectively. “Defensively, we’re lights out,” said Raiders’ coach Roscoe Johnson. “Coach (Richard) McFee has done a wonderful job with our defense which is totally different than last year; they are as one unit.” Johnson believes that in the past the Atlee defense came to rely too much on talented linebacker Josh Doggett. “Josh was good and he was The Man,” the coach said. “But [this year], our defense is not just Josh Doggett. It’s a defense. It’s our defense with no name behind or in front of it.”

With the bulk of their starters returning this year (eight on offense and seven on defense), Atlee had plenty of strength coming into the season. “I don’t think people understand; when you have those kind of numbers back, you’re still going to be doing well,” Johnson said. “We’ve just got a good group of seniors. They worked hard last season, and they’re working hard now.” Atlee senior quarterback Ruben Rucker put on an offensive show, going 13-of-20 for 232 yards and four TDs, averaging over 30 yards on each score. Yet by game’s end he credited the defense for the team’s success. “Our defense is very good – point blank!” he said. “They fuel our offense. In my opinion,

they are the best defense in the region. We play them every single day in practice, which makes us that much better. So to play the best defense every single day, you’re going to get some type of benefit out of that.” Big plays for the Raiders’ offense came from two senior wide receivers. Will McCombs pulled down three TD passes from Rucker, and chalked up 118 yards on five catches. McCombs put the first 14 points on the board with a 32yard TD reception in the first quarter followed by a 34-yard scoring catch in the second. He then capped off his night in the endzone with a 29-yarder to start the second half.

Teammate Shaquille Williams snared two TD passes for the evening, a third quarter 30-yard catch from Rucker followed by a fourth quarter 34-yard TD from backup QB Kenner Berry. Williams also came up with the pigskin on a perfectly executed onside kick by senior Joseph Pulisic. Williams credited those who helped him score. “Great job by the O-line, and the quarterback throwing the ball,” he said. Also contributing to the romp were senior running back Jared Hall with 58 yards rushing and a 16-yard TD run. Sophomore linebacker Tye Burris added to the score by tackling Patriots’ QB Kahlil

Mock in the endzone for a safety. Patrick Henry head coach Sammy Hart conceded that offensively the Raiders brought their game, but begrudged the fact that the Raiders continued their rout after the game got out of reach. “Good offensive show power,” Hart said. “Those guys threw the ball well. We knew they were going to throw it. I really didn’t think they’d throw it so much with 30 something points on the board and we had nil late in the game.” Johnson, however, was happy with his team coming off a bad week of practice with see ATLEE, pg. 41 `

Hampden-Sydney rolls to third straight win Two Tigers break records in 38-14 win Contributed report In the #23 HampdenSydney’s 38-14 win over Ferrum College on Saturday, senior wide receiver Kyle Vance tallied a program record 228 receiving yards and one touchdown on 14 receptions. Senior place kicker David Prizzia also connected on all five of his PATs putting him at a record 62 consecutive makes spanning back to 2009. Both began their marks early, as the Tigers scored just under two minutes into the game when Travis Lane (Mills Godwin) hit Vance in the end zone on a 19-yard pass. Though the Tigers would not score again in the first quarter, the defense was solid holding Ferrum to just 38 yards in the quarter, including a fumble recovery from Charlie Shoemaker. H-SC was unable to convert on the turnover as Marcco McNeal picked off a Lane pass at the Ferrum

things starting out slow. “I’m proud of them,” Johnson said. “Every week we’re getting better and better out here on game nights. We just need to continue improving—stay focused.” Despite the record winning streak against PH and getting off to a good start for the second consecutive year, Johnson feels Atlee still has much to accomplish. “All these years we’ve been the groomsmen, not the groom; or the bridesmaids, not the bride,” he said. “We’ve done all this, but when it’s all said and done, we haven’t gotten in the playoffs. We’ve started strong the last two years. What have we done to show for it? This group of guys is pretty much saying, ‘You know what, Coach? We’re trying to stay consistent

9-yard line. The defense then clamped down on the Panthers - whose fake punt attempt was foiled by a Zach Sadovszky (Mills Godwin) pass break up on fourth and five. Hampden-Sydney was able to use that turnover-on-downs into seven points when Lane hit Vance for three yards, followed by a pitch to Kirk Rohle (Hanover) that led to a 12 yard scamper to the end zone. Just four minutes later, Prizzia and the Tigers tacked on a 25-yard field goal to take a 17-0 lead with 4:28 to play in the first half. It took Ferrum five plays, 77 yards and two and a half minutes to make it a 17-7 game courtesy of a Joe Finn 4-yard rush. The Tigers got the ball back with only 1:51 remaining in the half. But back-to-back passes from Lane to Rohle and Vance for 33 yards were followed by a Rohle rush for 11 yards right into the end zone, putting the and not fall off, and stay humble.

Tigers up 24-7 just before the half. The defense held Ferrum to a three-and-out to start the third quarter and the Tigers again took advantage. Lane hit Steelman for 20 yards and then Vance for 33 before Rohle ran in for six more points - this time on a 6-yard run. After Finn ran the ensuing kick off back to the HampdenSydney 30-yard line, sophomore Zach Morgan prevented a Panther run with an interception on the 1-yard line. Neither team could find the end zone for the remainder of the quarter, but the Tigers took their final drive of the third into the fourth quarter where Evan King pushed the H-SC lead to 38-7 on an 8-yard run.

Rohle added three receptions, 48 yards and a score to go with 52 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. Sophomore tight end Mike Goad (Matoaca) hauled in three receptions for 44 yards. Defensively, the charge was led by sophomore Sean Stewart’s game-high 11 tackles, including 2.5 for-loss. Morgan and Kenny Fryman (Hanover) each tallied eight tackles, while Steven Fogleman (Hanover) added seven. Mayo led the Panther offense, throwing for 232 yards and two interceptions,

Randolph-Macon defense picks oﬀ Shenandoah R-MC forces four Hornet turnovers for 36-28 win By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Saturday was the defense’s day at Randolph-Macon’s Day Field. While the Yellow Jacket offense struggled to get traction through much of the game, the defense checked a potentially explosive Shenandoah offense with four turnovers – three of which led to Randolph-Macon touchdowns – as the Yellow Jackets prevailed 36-28. Despite the fact that Randolph-Macon (3-0) managed only one first down in the first quarter the Yellow Jackets scored first after linebacker Jeremy Bowry intercepted Shenandoah quarterback

Daniel Wright’s fourth pass of the game. Bowry returned the ball 48 yards to the Hornets’ 12-yard line. Two plays later, Randolph-Macon freshman quarterback Zac Naccarato scored from the 8. Bowry said the defense expects to give the Yellow Jackets’ young offense a helping hand. “We’ve been thinking all this year – since we’ve got a young offense – that we basically need to get the ball back for them as many times as we can,” Bowry said. “This time is a time for them to develop.” The Yellow Jackets’ second score was likewise set up by an interception. This time, safety Andrew Leonard was the picker, nabbing Wright’s pass at the Randolph-Macon 26 and returning it to the 31. The offense, boosted by Thaddeus Scruggs’ rushing, drove the 69 yards to score on

Scruggs’ 14-yard run. Cornerback Chris Pace made the third pick of the afternoon for Randolph-Macon. Wright’s pass slipped through the hands of Shenandoah wide receiver Qiydaar Murphy and into Pace’s. He nearly scored himself but was tripped up by Murphy at the Hornets’ 1-yard line. One play later, Naccarato carried the ball across the goal line. “I was so anxious. I saw daylight, so I ran, but he caught me,” Pace said. “I was so happy I got the ball back for the offense, though.” Despite the interceptions – and a fumble late in the third quarter – Shenandoah amassed 393 years total offense. Wright accounted for 274 of those yards in the air, completing 15-of-36 passes for three touchdowns. The Hornets (1-2), a future see R-MC, pg. 43 `

The rain picked up but it didn’t slow R-MC freshman quarterback Zac Naccarato as he muscles his way past the arm tackle of Shenandoah’s Josh Rogeres (50) and in for a score. The Yellow Jackets pulled out the see-saw battle 36-29 to remain undefeated.

Hanover ﬁeld hockey looking to defend title First district trophy on the shelf, Hawks want repeat

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com After picking up the school’s first Capital District field hockey title last season, the Hanover Hawks are primed for a repeat. Last Wednesday the Hawks overcame their first early season obstacle with a 2-0 win over rival Lee-Davis. With 10 newcomers this season the Hawks have gone from hunter to hunted but Coach Sarah Bottorff has seen no probCharlie Leffler/The Local

lems with being the focus of every opponent. “I think that we kind of had that last year,” she said. “I think everybody kind of had their guns out for us. We’re used to it.” Bottorff has the Hawks focused on the moment. “We know that we haven’t earned anything yet and we have to play every minute of every single game and we just go into it with that attitude,” she said. “That seems to work.” Two weeks ago, Hanover notched a big non-district mark with their first ever win over Deep Run, but the players know that the district rival games such as Lee-Davis hold much more importance. “I think we still put a lot of emphasis on the (Lee-Davis) game, having to share the territory and everything, it’s a big

Mechanicsville rival,” said senior back Madelyn Clark. “I feel like this game and Atlee are our biggest games of the season. This is who we strive to beat. Striving to be the team on top. Ready to be the team on top.” Hanover may be young coming into the season but LeeDavis is even younger. With only two seniors and five sophomores on the starting roster, the Confederates gave the host team all they could handle. “I was very pleased,” said Coach Peggy Matthews. “The score didn’t reflect it. Their hits were very solid. Their teamwork. The defense played magnificently as a team. They were talking and communicating and playing like the needed to.” Emotions of playing such see HAWKS, pg. 43 `

HAWKS Continued from pg. 42 b

a close rival may have thrown Hanover off their game early. Though the Hawks repeatedly moved the ball into scoring position they could not capitalize on the offensive thrust. After four penalty corners in the first 19 minutes of play, Hanover came away scoreless. With 9:54 to play in the first half, Bottorff called a timeout to regroup her team. “I was seeing that we weren’t playing fast enough,” she said. “We just looked like we were sluggish. We had a game on Monday against Glen Allen, which was completely different. Nintey percent of it is mental. I think that was some of it. Maybe they had come in a little nervous for the game.” By the five minute mark of the first, Hanover had came away empty on two more penalty corners as the Confederate defense continued to come up big. But in the 27th minute, Hanover finally found pay dirt as freshman Michelle Knizner found senior Erika Taylor open

on the left side. As C-fed keeper Courtney Gosselin adjusted to Knizner’s presence on the right, the freshman threaded a perfect assist through a gap in the LeeDavis defense to a wide open Taylor for a goal. “(Taylor) has had some really good positioning for us on that back side so she really knows where to be and anticipates the ball really well,” Bottorff said. The coach attributed the goal to continued work in practice. “We do work on set plays in certain situations and ‘what would you do if’,” she said. “They’ve played enough that they know where they need to be and what their role is in the circle and that seemed like they’ve adjusted well.” With the score, Hanover found their focus. “Once we got the goal I think things kind of turned a little bit,” Bottorff said. Midway through the second half, Hanover added an insurance goal by senior Juliana Moore who took advantage of a defensive lapse by Lee-Davis. Despite the scores, defense was the word of the day for both teams. Hanover senior backs

ODAC member, took a 29-28 lead in the fourth quarter following a safety and a touchdown on a 1-yard run by Ignatius Perry. They tried a 2-point conversion, but the Wright’s pass fell incomplete. “We knew it was what we do that counts,” said Shenandoah coach Paul Barnes. “When you have a game like this, you take care of business … unfortunately they made a nice drive at the end and we couldn’t come back.” The Yellow Jackets’ final scoring drive was set up by Will McGhee’s 32-yard kickoff return to the Shenandoah 49. Drake Sanders carried the ball five times to the Hornets’ 15, then Scruggs came in and took two plays to cross the goal line.

R-MC running back Thaddeus Scruggs puts on the afterburners to dash up field. Scruggs finished the day with 119 yards on 29 carries.

Scruggs ran in the 2-point conversion to make it 36-29. “It took us a while to get going. We just weren’t able to run the ball early,” said RandolphMacon coach Pedro Arruza. “Obviously some credit has to

Brenna Crawford, Rosie Easter and Clark pounced on every Lee-Davis attack. At times, Clark appeared to be everywhere on the field at once. “I enjoy being in the back,” Clark said. “I get to direct the whole team. I’m the captain so it’s easy for me to see stuff and say, ‘hey, this is your mark, this is your mark, this is your mark, this is your mark’. “It’s easy to get into the game and not really see what happens, but it is my role to be there in the back and I do take full responsibility once the ball gets past nine other of the players and I’m ready to take that role even if that means getting behind our goalie Bailey (Lien).” Not to be outdone, in the middle seniors Lauren Kessler and Megan Tripp repeatedly made tackles and distributed the ball well. “That’s what made us so strong last year,” Bottorff said. “We won so many games by one goal last year, that’s always been our strength. We’re a new team so we’ve always had to play at lot of defense.” Backing up everything was

Lien, who was solid and came away with eight saves, but one of Hanover’s biggest defensive plays came on a miss by their keeper. With 13 minutes remaining, Lee-Davis looked as if they would tie the game at 1-1. Running out 20 meters from the net, Lien missed on an attempt to boot the ball leaving the goal wide open. But out of nowhere, Easter swooped in to block the shot and drive the ball back up field. “She’s a solid defender,” Bottorff said. “She came to us last year and we had a starting defensive spot that needed to be filled and she filled it and she’s just been solid for me ever since. You can count on her to make big plays when they need to be made. Lee-Davis got solid performances from sophomores Harper Matthews and Madison Doss as well as seniors Meagan Patterson and Chrissie Norman. Their first and only penalty corner of the game in the final two minutes of play but could not penetrate the Hanover defense. “I thought we played pretty well tonight,” Clark said. “We

go to Shenandoah. They did a great job slowing us down.” But the Hornets could not keep the Yellow Jackets down. The offense began to find its feet. Randolph-Macon, led by Scruggs with 119 yards rushing, finished with 259 yards total offense. Arruza praised his defense. “I thought our defense played really, really well,” he said. “They made some big plays, created some turnovers. I knew that was going to have to happen for us to have a shot.” Leonard said the key factor was Randolph-Macon’s ability to keep its cool despite the setbacks. “They adjusted to us,” Leonard said. “We adjusted right back. We never lost composure. We did a really good job all over the field.” This Saturday, R-MC travels

to Frostburg for a 1 p.m. kickoff. The Yellow Jackets return home on October 1 to begin ODAC play versus Emory & Henry.

Ultimately I’m just glad to see us come out on top.” While they came up short on the scoreboard, Lee-Davis showed that they are not a team to be overlooked as the youthful team gains more experience. Matthews feels her squad needs to develop better speed. “We have probably three players that are just absolutely fast,” she said. “But that recovery when my forward line loses the ball,

they’re not coming back and trying to play attack defense. That’s what I call back. You don’t just give it up at midfield to bring it back. That’s what I’d like to see out of them more.” Atlee hosted Hanover on Monday evening after this week’s press deadline.
