The Rev. Bob Bluford cuts the ribbon to celebrate the opening of the new Visitors Center at the Historic Polegreen Church. A dedication ceremony was held on Tuesday, Sept. 21.
It’s the culmination of a dream and the result of years of hard work and dedication. Friends, members and supporters of the Historic Polegreen Foundation gathered on Tuesday, Sept. 21, to cut the ribbon on a new Visitors Center and Foundation Office at the historic church site off Rural
Point Road. It’s a major step in a project that began almost two decades ago when a select few recognized the importance of the hallowed ground and decided to take whatever means necessary to restore and preserve the site. The man credited with the original vision of a restored Polegreen is Dr. Bob Bluford, see CENTER, pg. 23 `

The Children In Action group of the Black Creek Baptist Church recently participated in a Central Virginia Raceway Ministries at Richmond International Raceway. Thanks to the organization and RIR Guest Services, the children were able to spend some time with the Central Virginia Raceway Ministry group on Saturday, Sept. 11, at the Action Track at RIR before the NASCAR race. They were given a tour by Pastor John Johnson, with the aid of RIR Guest Services, that included meeting several chaplains affiliated with Raceway Ministries. They also received an up-close view of the Start/Finish line. They even took part in the startup of the “I Am Second” presentation screen for the day. For more information about the Central Virginia Raceway Ministry, visit www.CVBM.org or www.racewayministries.com. For more information about the Black Creek Baptist Church, call the church office at 781-0330 or visit www.blackcreek.org.

About 80 percent of the semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and more than half
of the finalists will win an Achievement Scholarship award. The National Achievement Scholarship Program, conducted by nmsc, is a privately financed academic competition that operates without government assistance. It was initiated in 1964 to recognize academically promising black students throughout the nation and to provide scholarships to a substantial number of the most outstanding program participants.

people to live and grow. “Through its innovative and far-reaching programs, Hanover County is taking bold and effective steps to help their young people graduate and lead healthy, productive lives,” Marguerite W. Kondracke, America’s Promise Alliance president and CEO, said. “Hanover County serves as an example to inspire and educate other communities across the nation to tackle the challenges facing their city and children and to implement initiatives that give them the essential resources they need to succeed in life.” Hanover County was named one of the nation’s 100 Best because of its support networks created for vulnerable youth and its collaborative solutions developed to improve the lives of young people. The Fatherhood Initiative, formed by a community church, Head Start and the Hanover Preschool Initiative (HPI), encourages fathers and male role models to become more active at children’s schools through events such as Father Fridays, Breakfast with Dad and Family Fitness Night. The county’s investment in youth programs includes providing critical life skills for foster children to plan for their success. Founded in 2001, the Cares for Kids Program addresses the multiple needs of foster care children by pairing them with community partners and volunteers to ful-
fill each child’s academic needs, such as a computer for homework. In addition, the Hanover Department of Social Services implemented a Learn Your Rights workshop to provide foster care youth with practical information including how to drive a car, rent an apartment or continue one’s education after high school. “Many organizations in Hanover County have come together in a coordinated effort to support our youth,” G.E. Via III, chairman of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, said. “This dedicated effort was undertaken based on our total commitment to our youth, who are the future of our county. That these efforts are once again recognized by the America’s Promise Alliance makes us all proud. We are honored to receive this award.” “We truly appreciate receiving this award as one of our country’s 100 best communities for young people,” Debbie Coats, vice chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said. “It shows great things really can be accomplished when a community works together toward the same goal. Hanover County’s administration, school system, business community and civic organizations have all worked together with parents to create a healthy environment for our young people to expand their talents, refine their skills and fulfill their dreams so they will become the future of our great nation.” South Anna Supervisor John Gordon added: “It is again an honor for the citizens of Hanover to be recognized for our commitment to providing young people

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Take the time to say thanks to a firefighter With National Fire Prevention Week being observed Oct. 3-9, we should all take advantage of the opportunity to say “Thank you” to the men and women who serve — career and volunteer — as firefighters. We are so blessed in Hanover County with dedicated, experienced and highly trained personnel. With our companies serving in dual capacities — fire and emergency medical services — they are such a valued part of our community. Some of the fire stations will be participating in educational projects in Hanover County Public Schools next week. How impressive that they will give of their time to share their knowledge — especially the lessons the little ones can learn. We’re all familiar with the term “Stop, drop and roll.” Thanks to our Hanover County firefighters, this phrase will become words to live by for the youngest residents. Fire safety will be the theme throughout the week, and, as we all know, it marks the time of year when you need to check and replace batteries in smoke alarms. In addition to their scheduled appearances throughout the school district, firefighters will be hosting open houses and other events for their respective communities. Make the time to stop by the stations — whether it’s to extend thanks or to take advantage of the safety information they want to share. Just how much do you know about the operations of your nearby fire station? This too can be learned during Fire Prevention Week festivities. We’re so fortunate and we do appreciate all our firefighters do. Want to learn more about the operations of Hanover County’s FireEMS? Then visit http://www.co.hanover.va.us/fire-ems/stations.htm for a complete listing and contact information. Regardless of any designated week-long observance, our lives are better because of these individuals. To close, here is a sincere “Thank you!” Melody Kinser

According to Tami Gerke, public relations specialist for AGL Resources, the 12-mile Virginia Natural Gas pipeline will run from Hanover County to the Nestle Purina PetCare plant in King William. She said the pipeline extension into King William County is moving along very well. Ground was broken in July and about one-quarter of the main has been installed.
Crews are installing the 12inch steel main on U.S. 360 in Mechanicsville. Gerke added that Virginia Natural Gas is diligently working to efficiently and safely install the pipeline in the median with as minimal an impact on motorists as possible.

Stilwell’s dream now a reality It was six years and $300,000 ago that Katie Stilwell, then a student at Christopher Newport University, wanted to take on a community project that would touch the lives of others. She began by meeting with staff of Hanover Parks and Recreation and planted the seeds of an idea to build accessible playgrounds in Hanover County, playgrounds where children of all abilities can interact and play. Today, we are excited to announce that the all-inclusive playground at Pole Green Park
has recently been completed by the Hanover and Mechanicsville Rotary Clubs, thanks to both organizations’ monetary donations and with the construction. Tim Amos, a Rotary member who owns TAW Construction Inc., took on the responsibility of heading up the construction of both playgrounds. The plan developed in conjunction with the exceptionally supportive Parks & Recreation staff called for two playgrounds to serve both sides of the county. We have completed Phase 1 of the playground at Poor Farm Park and look forward to launching the second phase as we are able to in the future. The community support for construction of these two unique playgrounds – from individuals and families, youth groups, schools and school groups, businesses, civic associations and the county – has been so overwhelming that other communities here in Virginia and across the country have been inspired to follow in our footsteps.
Visit us at www.operationhopeplayground.com to follow our progress and read the inspiring stories of some very special children and the impact the playgrounds have had on their families and our community. Dana Nelson Mechanicsville
typical employee got in at 9 a.m. after the traffic subsided. In the evening the boss would simply leave at 4 p.m. (due to him coming in early) to beat the going home traffic. I, on the other hand after coming in late, would leave at 4:15 p.m. and instead of trying to beat the traffic would simply stop off at the best unknown place in Hanover, The Pasta House. This seemed to be the solution to the traffic, have a few sodas with the guys, talk about assessments, smart growth planning, taxes and all the while the wives think we are tied up in the Pole Green/Bell Creek traffic. That was the good ol’ days and now that the Autobahn is finished I find myself having to get up earlier for work and getting home earlier to do chores around the house. I know these traffic situations are not planned (as no one took any credit) and no one could possibly know when the next big mess will happen, but, when it does, don’t feel bad because as you can see from my experience, every cloud has a
Can we unfix intersection? I’m wondering if Hanover County has anything in the works to put a stop to our sailing through the Pole Green/Bell Creek Road area so easily. Some made a big deal of the traffic backup, threats from irate drivers and being a few minutes late for dinner, but I was able to use the traffic and confusion for my own benefit. My boss, who also traveled from that area, completely understood me getting in at 9 a.m. instead of the starting time of 8 a.m. He, being the owner and needing to set an example, came in at 7 a.m. to beat the traffic and I being an example of
silver lining. But wait, another silver lining. Seeing two deceased animals at the PG/BC intersection this morning means that the nude PETA women will be showing up to demonstrate and traffic will then be back to normal, backed up for miles in each direction. Thank you, mayhem! Ted Mentz Old Church
Coal ash disposal issues U.S. coal-fired power plants generate over 130 million tons of toxic coal ash annually. (Added to cement might be OK, but not in my garden amendments please.) The arsenic, heavy metals and other pollution in coal ash is known to cause cancer, childhood developmental problems and a host of other health troubles. A new report released by the Sierra Club, Earthjustice and Environmental Integrity Project shows these toxins are leaking out of coal ash dumps
across the country, making the water unsafe at more than 100 sites investigated so far. The Environmental Protection Agency is currently holding a series of public hearings on new protections proposed for toxic coal ash. The number of contaminated sites nationwide clearly shows that the current patchwork of coal ash regulations, or lack thereof, is not working. I just moved back to my home state of Virginia. Not sure where proposed sites are located. I have heard that the spreading of sewage waste is taking place here, along with gmo (genetically modified organisms) crops. I’m concerned for my children, grandchildren and the future generations. I hope our appointed regulators will be able to protect us and our environment. We need federally enforceable safeguards that protect our waterways and families from improper coal ash disposal. Erica Gray Henrico

2010 NATIONAL SCOUT JAMBOREE
Local man’s son shares Coast Guard experiences (Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Air Force Staff Sgt. Jessica Switzer.) It only happens for one week every four years. Tens of thousands of Boy Scouts from around America descend on a sleepy base (Fort A.P. Hill) in Virginia to earn merit badges, collect and trade patches and to connect with other scouts. The son of a Mechanicsville man was on site at the 2010 National Scout Ja m b o ree to help the CHARLES T. PHILLIPS scouts accomplish these goals. U.S. Coast Guard Reserve Senior Chief Petty Officer Charles T. Phillips, the son of Aubrey T. Phillips Jr. of Lee Davis Road, is a marine science technician who educated Scouts on the Coast Guard mission at the jamboree. “I’m here briefing the scouts on marine safety and environmental responses,” Phillips, a 1971 graduate of Henrico High School, said.

He went on to earn a bach- elor of applied studies degree in business in 1986 from the University of Richmond. Nearly 2,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and Coast Guardsmen were at the event, running merit badge stations, putting on informational displays in the Armed Forces Adventure Area, providing traffic control support, running a small field hospital for minor injuries, and a myriad of other support functions. Many of the service members arrived on location early and stayed several days after the Jamboree to make sure the Photo by Michael Tolzmann scouts had the best, and safest A Navy diver plays tic tac toe with passing Boy Scouts from time they can. “I absolutely volunteered to inside a dive tank.
come here and support this mission,” Phillips, who is assigned to the U.S. Coast Guard Security Center in Chesapeake, said. “I am an Eagle Scout myself and a current member of a Boy Scout Troop in Sandston, Va.,” he added. Each day there were estimated to be more than 100,000 people at the Jamboree who had an opportunity to see and experience a variety of military exhibits, history, activities and units, as well as interact with men and women of the armed forces. It also let service members work in a joint environment, creating and solidifying bonds between individuals and units. Some of them even learned a little about themselves. “My favorite thing about being
here is working with the scouts to further their education,” Phillips, who has been in the Coast Guard for 32 years and has been recalled to active duty since 2003, said. Whether working directly
with the scouts, or providing behind the scenes support, Phillips and his fellow service members were the ones who helped make sure one of the largest events in Scouting went off without a hitch.

Hold the Un-changing Hand By Pastor David Crisp, Senior Pastor
W
hen my two sons “left the nest,” it felt like I had passed a milestone. Many who had already passed this milestone assured me that l would live through it, and that an empty nest does have its “up” side too! Graduations and marriages, children moving away, and mushy Hallmark commercials do give us pause to stop and think about the past and the future and all the many changes of life that we go through. I recently spoke to a group of golden agers who now reside at an assisted living home, and they are still going through major life changes! Life is change. The very definition of life includes within it an expectation of change. Nothing on earth stays the same. We can grumble and moan or rail against it, but we won’t stop it.
T
here is One that doesn’t change. In Malachi, chapter three, the Lord says, “I, the Lord, do not change.” We know that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. God does move in new ways and accomplishes His purposes with all sorts of creative, unique methods. Look at the battle plan for defeating Jericho: March around the city in silence for six days, then on the seventh day shout. Talk about new methods! But His character – who He is – never changes. He will always be loving and merciful, full of grace. He will always deal with sin and punish unrighteousness. We can either accept Christ’s payment of our sin debt, or we will pay it ourselves. God will always judge sin but always provide a way of escape, always save a remnant that are faithful, and always restore broken relationships. He will always keep His word. God never changes.
J
esus taught that if we would build our house on the unchanging rock, it would stand against the storms of life. Too many of us try to build our house on some other foundation. Usually we try to build our life on our own (or someone else’s) talents, abilities, personality, strong will, and hard work, but all of those things are shifting sand. We must anchor deep into the unchanging character of God. The Bible is a book of promises, but tomorrow isn’t one of them. No one is guaranteed tomorrow. Life often throws us curve balls that smack us right in the mouth. But take heart. If you know Jesus, you may not know what the future holds, but you know who holds the future.

The Hanover Women’s Golf Association Nine Hole Golfers Group recently held a golf tournament at Hanover Country Club. The event, organized by Suzanne Harman with the help of Tricia Whitehorne and Debbie Hockemeyer, featured nine holes of golf and a luncheon for the participants. The Nine Hole Golfers Group consists of 20 women who play golf at Hanover Country Club each Thursday morning. They planned the golf tournament, soliciting neighbors who had pets. Signage was then prepared for the pets and displayed at the nine holes played on the day of the event. Larry Ham of Edward Jones Financial Advisors in Ashland donated bags of tees. Reck Hockemeyer of Union First Market Bank provided goody bags. Participants enjoyed favors shaped like doggy bones and fresh flowers at the luncheon. This event raised about $400, which was donated to Hanover Humane Society to further the group’s adoption, education and prevention efforts. A spring event is planned for 2011. Lynn Pulley-Paine of the Hanover Humane Society is shown with Jeffrey Cornwell, general manager of the Hanover Country Club.

who began his efforts in 1990. At the time, the site was a small subdivision and reclaiming it seemed like a long and arduous task. It was, but one Bluford refused to abandon, and, as supporters and volunteers increased, the project took place and gradually became a reality. Foundation director Jay Johnston said the ribbon cutting was the fruit of the labor of many who have dedicated themselves to the preservation project. “He (Bluford) has an attribute that many historians and visionaries don’t. He has an incredible ability to make things happen,” Johnston said. Foundation executive direc-
“If you think we are satisfied with what we’ve done to date, think again,” Peace said. “You can see the vision we have for future development and site enhancement. A lot has been accomplished over the past 20 years, mostly due to Dr. Bob Bluford and the board of directors,” he added. Peace said the mission is ongoing and is dedicated to the memory of the site where Samuel Davies and the Hanover dissenters cast the first whispers of religious and civil freedoms, ideas that eventually fueled the American Revolution. Davies preached his last sermon at Polegreen in 1759 to an estimated crowd of more than 4,000 people. Dr. Douglas Hicks delivered the keynote address and explained how the seeds first sewn at Polegreen established a tradition of religious freedom long enjoyed in the United States. “Great ideas like religious freedom have changed the world,” Hicks said. “On the terrain of critical ideas, we are standing at a world-shaping crossroads.” Hicks said the legacy and history of Polegreen affirm that small ideas can produce huge universal impacts. “We’re here to celebrate an idea — a seemingly small idea,”

Research shows that people who have experienced a lifetime of stimulating experiences create a buffer of extra brain structures, called a “cognitive reserve,” that can help stave off Alzheimer’s disease. It may help to think about this matter by visualizing the brain as a forest. People with abundant cognitive reserve in effect have jungles that can better withstand the “deforestation” effects of Alzheimer’s. The good news is that education and intellectual inquisitiveness can build cognitive reserve at any stage in life. According to the Bronx Aging Study of people in their 70s and 80s, pursuing mentally stimulating activities such as reading/writing, doing crossword puzzles, playing board games, and playing music helped delay the onset of rapid memory decline.

Notice of Loss Blessing of the filing required Animals slated By Ken Upshaw County executive director The CCC-576, Notice of Loss, is used to report failed acreage and prevented planting and may be completed by any producer with an interest in the crop. Timely filing a Notice of Loss is required on for all crops included grasses. For losses on crops covered by the Non-insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) and crop insurance, you must file a CCC-576 (notice of loss) in the FSA County Office within 15 days of the occurrence of the disaster or when losses become apparent. NAP coverage The Non-Insured Crop Disaster Assistance Program (NAP) was designed to reduce financial losses that occur when natural disasters cause a catastrophic loss of production or prevented planting of an eligible crop by providing coverage equivalent to catastrophic (CAT) insurance. Statute limits NAP to each commercial crop or agricultural commodity, except livestock, for which CAT is not available. Find listed the application deadline for 2011 coverage on some non-insured crops: ■ Sept. 30: Barley/rye/oats/ wheat for forage and grazing, and oats for grain. ■ Nov. 20: Strawberries,
pears, peaches, grapes, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, Christmas trees, and apples. ■ Dec. 1: Honey. In order to be eligible for disaster assistance programs, like SURE, producers are required to timely purchase, at a minimum, CAT coverage for all insurable crops and/or NAP coverage for all non-insurable crops on their entire farm. 2011 NAP coverage is $250 per crop, but not more than $750 per producer per county, or not more than $1875 per producer for all counties. Deadline for SURE applications The deadline to submit USDA Farm Service Agency 2008 Supplemental Revenue Assistance (SURE) program payment applications is close of business on Thursday, Sept. 30, 2010. Applications not filed by Sept. 30, 2010, will not receive a payment. SURE provides crop disaster assistance payments to eligible producers on farms that have incurred crop production or crop quality losses. The program takes into consideration crop losses on all crops grown by a producer nationwide. To be eligible for SURE, producers must have suffered at least a 10 percent production loss on a crop of economic significance.

Tomato Bowl brings thrills and controversy Patriots come back to defeat C-Feds in Tomato Bowl thriller By Arthur Lee Thompson IV For The Mechanicsville Local It’s the Tomato Bowl. There is not a more storied football tradition in the Richmond area. Pride is at stake. Bragging rights and early momentum can be found. Last year, Lee-Davis did in their Ashland neighbors the Patriots winning their first Tomato Bowl since 2004. The Confederate victory dropped Patrick Henry to its first 0-3 start in 20 years. This year Patrick Henry came in to the game teetering with the possibility of falling to 0-3 again but both teams came into the rivalry with new coaches. Zac Hayden was calling the signals for Lee-Davis while Sam Hart manned the sideline for the Patriots. And in a Tomato Bowl thriller dominated by penalty flags flying both ways, the Patriots came back from a 24-0 deficit to defeat Lee Davis 25-24. “We had a bad first half,” said Patrick Henry senior quarterback Jayrin Waller. “Our coach gave us a speech at half time. We got motivated. We had to come out here and play hard the second half. We weren’t doing what we supposed to do the first half. But we never gave up.” Lee-Davis dominated the game for most of the first half.

However, their first series foreshadowed the penalties and mistakes that would plague them for most of the game. The C-Feds had to call time out to avoid a substitution penalty on their first offensive play. Despite their setbacks, senior running back DeVonte’ Scott (104 rushing and 2 touchdowns in the first half) eventually scored on a 6-yard run. Running a two quarterback system, Lee-Davis went on to apparently put the game away, scoring 24 point straight points and seemed to be in compete control. Scott scored his second touchdown on an 8-yard run

then senior wide receiver Chance Stone scored on an 81yard screen pass from quarterback William Coalson. Stone converted his third 2-point conversion out of the wildcat formation to make the score 24-0 with 6:19 minutes to go in the second quarter. But early problems began to mount for Lee-Davis, Coalson suffered an ankle injury on the Stone touchdown and sat out most of the rest of the game. Coalson’s absence was further amplified because Lee-Davis was already without fellow starting quarterback Israel Vaughan who was injured early in the first quarter.

“That hurt us,” Hayden said. “We run both of our quarterbacks. That is a big part of our offense.” Though the Lee-Davis defense continued to shut down Patrick Henry, the C-Feds missed those contributions to their offense almost instantly. Lee-Davis inserted senior tight end Travis Stallings at quarterback just before the half. On his first pass Patrick Henry sophomore defensive back Travis Phillips pulled in the interception and raced 87 yards down the left sideline for a touchdown, sending the Patriots into the locker room with momentum.
Left: Lee-Davis’ Caleb Wyatt, left, and Patrick Henry’s Brian Houchens dive for a loose ball early in the game. Above: In one of the game’s most controversial plays, Lee-Davis defenders Tyrell Eaton (20) and Chance Stone (1) sandwich Patrick Henry receiver Kenny Mock while going for the ball. It appeared Eaton intercepted the ball but Lee-Davis was called for a penalty and the ball was awarded to the Patriots. From there, Patrick Henry went on to score the game inning touchdown.
“T.J. made the big play in the first half,” said PH senior defensive back Kenny Mock of Phillips game changing interception. “Our seniors are leaders. We said everyone had to step up and do their part.” The beginning of the second half yielded the same bad results for Lee-Davis. First half star DeVonte’ Scott coughed up the ball on a hard hit and Mock scooped up the fumble, returning the ball 40 yards for a touchdown to trim the margin
to 24-13 after a failed 2-point conversion. Lee-Davis then inserted junior wide out Caleb Wyatt at quarterback to run the wildcat formation. Wyatt finished the game with 107 yards and the Cfeds were able to move the ball but not into the end zone. As the third quarter continued, the Patriots cut into the lead on field goals of 22-and 33yards from Louis Carrillo. The latter coming after a squib kick see TOMATO, pg. 39 `
Equal-opportunity offense Atlee’s Ferguson shares the wealth in resounding win By Tim Pearrell Media General News Services Most quarterbacks have a favorite receiver, maybe two. Atlee High quarterback Drew Ferguson says he makes it clear to the hands guys on his team: If you’re running a route, expect the ball. “I have no favorites,” he said. The 10th-ranked Raiders like to empty the backfield and give Ferguson five receivers. He found them frequently Friday night in a 42-12 nondistrict victory over visiting Douglas Freeman. Ferguson completed 18 of 28 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns as Atlee improved to 4-0 for the first time in school history. Seven receivers caught passes. Shaquille Williams had the most with six (51 yards). “My receivers are all great,” Ferguson said. Atlee has gone to the empty-

from the previous field goal allowed Patrick Henry’s Ross Jones to recover the ball just before it went out of bounds. Holding a 24-19 lead late in the fourth quarter, Lee-Davis appeared to kill the Patriots dream of winning the game when Tyrell Eaton out jumped the Patriots’ Raymon Minor on a fade pattern in the end zone for an interception. The C-feds only needed to get a couple of first downs and run out the clock. They got one first down then had to punt the ball back to the Patriots. With 3:00 to go Patrick Henry embarked on a dramatic drive to win the game. In one of the game’s most controversial plays, Lee-Davis’ Eaton and Stone sandwiched
backfield look more frequently this season. But that doesn’t mean the Raiders won’t run. They sometimes use Ferguson, a 6-1 195-pounder, on designed draws. He had 78 yards rushing, giving him 365 yards of offense for the evening. “He’s mobile,” Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson said. “He can throw it and run it.” After three passes and less than four minutes last night, Ferguson had two touchdown passes and 145 yards. On third and 15 on its first possession, Atlee sent three receivers to the left and two to the right. Ferguson found Will McCombs alone up the seam for an 80-yard TD. After Freeman punted, the Raiders flooded the left side with the same play. Ferguson found Jordan Underwood on the same route for a 63-yard TD. Freeman, which dropped to 0-3, had trouble throughout the game with fumbles and
shotgun snaps over the head of quarterback Keith Wells. Two fumbles led to short scoring drives for Atlee, and defensive lineman Jeremy Epps recovered another in the end zone. The victory allowed the Raiders to keep pace with several other teams in what is shaping up to be an unusually crowded Division 5 playoff picture. Johnson said he’s not sure how good his team is yet. The Raiders started 3-0 last year before finishing 5-5. “I think we’re tougher mentally and physically,” he said. “We’ll find out quickly how good we are in two weeks [when the Raiders play Henrico after a bye week]. The only thing we’ve talked about is we’ve got to finish our business.” Tim Pearrell is a staff writer for the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Mock going for a Waller pass from the 25. The three came down in a pile and Eaton came up with the ball. But in the end, the officials determined Mock caught the ball at the Lee-Davis 48, and Lee-Davis was guilty of pass interference. The penalty brought Patrick Henry to the 33 yard line. A second controversial play soon followed when Waller threw the ball to Minor deep along the left sideline. It appeared Minor shoved off LeeDavis defender Tyler Moody to create space and catch the pass. However, no flag was thrown and it was first and goal for the Patriots on the 9-yard line. Waller then found senior Brian Houchens on a swing route and the game winning score with :47.6 seconds to play. “I called it,” said Houchens on the score. “I told my quarter-
back. Watch the swing out of the backfield. My man listened to me and we got the score baby.” Lee Davis reinserted Coalson but they were unable to score. “We fought extremely hard to get back into this game,” said Patrick Henry head coach Sam Hart. “We had an ugly first half. But they never gave up. I am extremely proud of that.”

Brooks and Raiders ace Hanover 3-0
By Brian French For The Mechanicsville Local Hailey Brooks might just be a sophomore, but she has a pretty good feel for the No. 2 ranked Atlee girls volleyball program. She was a team manager in the seventh and eighth grade, playing with the Raiders in practice while preparing for the day when she’d take the court for them in a real match. That explains why the outside hitter is so comfortable as a key player for one of the top teams in the Central Region, and it showed Thursday night against Hanover. Brooks had nine aces to help lead the Raiders to a 25-15, 25-9, 25-12 win against the neighborhood rival Hawks. Brooks’ hard-to-defend jumping serve set the tone for each of the three games for Atlee (3-0 Central District, 9-1 overall). She had three aces as part of an eight-point run on her first serve of the first game, then added two aces apiece in 5-0 stretches in the beginning of the second and third games. “She’s very familiar with how we do things,” Raiders coach
Curtis Carpenter said. Added Brooks, who also had six kills, four digs and 23 assists: “It definitely helped (being a manager) because I developed great relationships with the coaches, and I learned a lot about how they do things. I was looking forward to playing with them for years.” Brooks was a player for whom Carpenter had great expectations at the beginning of the season, but Atlee has thrived in large part because of its balance and the tendency of its players to fill the gap when needed. “We’re really trying to be balanced,” Carpenter said. “We try to come at you so many ways.” Take Meg Bowers. Given the opportunity by a Hanover defense that focused on other Raiders players, she responded with a match-high 14 kills. “I asked my setters why they weren’t setting more for her, because Hanover had nothing for her tonight,” Carpenter said. Morgan Shute also added four aces for the Raiders. The Hawks, who dominat-

ed Capital District play before Atlee won the regular season and tournament titles last season, didn’t have much for anyone on the Raiders roster. After scoring the first point of the first
and second games, they didn’t lead again. Hawks coach Karl Lippa said the week gave his team a good sense of where they were and what they had to do to get
there. The Hawks (2-2, 5-6) fell to No. 7 Lee-Davis 25-15, 2517, 25-20 last Tuesday. “This was one of those matches where you try to learn from your mistakes,” Lippa said.
“Atlee and Lee-Davis are playing well right now, but hopefully we’ll be there at the end of the season too.” With only one senior among see RAIDERS, pg. 41 `
R-MC gets little challenge in 28-14 win By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local In one of those great ironies of athletics, the Randolph-Macon football team keeps dominating opponents and head coach Pedro Arruza remains happy. On Saturday, the home standing Yellow Jackets, ranked No. 25 in the D3football.com poll, scored three touchdowns in the first five minutes against visiting Frostburg State to set the tempo. They then scored three Jim Ridolphi/For The Local

more touchdowns and a field goal in the second quarter to roll to a 48-14 victory. By the second half, the Yellow Jackets were in full-scale substitution mode and their lead was never challenged, but still Arruza wasn’t happy. “I hate these kind of games,” Arruza said. “They’re just not competitive. I like competitive games. Obviously the (Johns) Hopkins game was probably the best game of the year because it was neck and neck the entire time. That’s what you like as a coach.” Randolph-Macon (4-0) took just two plays and 59 seconds to get its first touchdown on a 67-yard pass from Austin Faulkner to Earl Peoples. After a Bobcat fumble deep in Frostburg
State territory, R-MC scored on a 13-yard pass from Faulkner to Vance Hendren with 11:21 left in the quarter. Forty-seven seconds later, Peoples struck again, scoring on a 52-yard punt return. “We were just kind of clicking. Earl had a nice punt return,” said Faulkner, who in one half of play completed 10-of-15 passes for 130 yards and three touchdowns – the last one on an 8-yard pass to Peoples in the second quarter. “We had good field position starting off the game.” The Yellow Jackets wanted set the tone immediately. “It didn’t really matter who scored, as long as we came out there and said, see MACON, pg. 41 `
and to compete together.”
Hampden-Sydney comes back for 32-28 win at Salisbury RAIDERS From H-SC Athletics SALISBURY, MD-In a backand-forth nail biter, HampdenSydney (4-0) came up with the big plays at the end of the game to extend its road win streak to 17 with the 32-28 victory over Salisbury University. Kenny Fryman (Hanover) put a stop to the initial Seagull drive with a fumble recovery on the 6-yard line and August Berling (Benedictine) forced a fumble on their second that was recovered by Ty Condrey (Manchester) on the Salisbury 26 yard line. It took just one play for Travis
MACON Continued from pg. 40 b
‘Hey, we came to play today,’ ” Peoples said. He credited his blockers for allowing him to break his scoring punt return. “They blocked really well,” Peoples said. “I don’t even think I had to make a move. It was just a straight to the end zone. … That was all them.” Shortly after Yellow Jackets’ first score, the Bobcats (1-3) scored on a 30-yard pass from Geoff Suddath to Anthony Young to make it look like they might rise to challenge their hosts. But that impression did not last long, when RandolphMacon scored on every possession of the second quarter. Drake Sanders scored on a 1-yard run with 9:59 left in the quarter. The second Faulknerto-Peoples scoring pass occurred with 6:20 left. Peoples, who likewise played only in the first half, finished with four catches for 73 yards. He also ran once for 34 yards – an advance that helped set up The Yellow Jackets’ fourth touchdown. Josh Storm connected on a 38-yard field goal with 1:49 left in the half for R-MC’s sixth score, and Thaddeus Scruggs added a 2-yard touchdown run
Lane (Mills Godwin) to find Sean Cavanagh (Clover Hill) in the end zone to go up 7-0 five minutes into the game. But on the first play of the ensuing drive, Salisbury’s Bryan Woolson took off down the sideline for the 86-yard equalizer. The Tigers controlled the first half of the second quarter, with a 20-play, 8-minute drive that cumulated with a 23 yard David Prizzia field goal. Prizzia then added a 35-yard field goal for 13-7 lead. In the second half, H-SC took just 2:49 off the clock when Evan King powered his
way for the score on a 4-yard run for a 19-7 lead After a failed two point conversion. Two possessions later, Salisbury’s Woolson had a 43yard sprint for the end zone cutting Tigers’ lead to 19-14. When the Seagull’s got the ball back again, quarterback Dan Griffin broke several tackles for a 70-yard touchdown run to give the Gulls their first lead of the game at 21-19 which blossomed to 28-19 shortly into the fourth. A minute and a half later, Lane hit Kyle Vance for a 25yard touchdown pass to cut it to 28-26.
Hampden-Sydney got the ball back on its own 30 yard line with 4:55 to play. The Tigers wasted no time as Lane hit Bruckner for 23 yards and then took it himself for 13 yards on the ground. Four plays later, Lane hit Bruckner again, this time for 17 yards to get to the Salisbury one yard line, setting up King’s second touchdown of the day to reclaim the lead 32-28 and hold on for the win. Hampden-Sydney will return to action next Saturday, October 2 as it travels to Catholic University for a 1 p.m. kick off.
27 seconds later. “When you get 11 guys on the same page, you can do some special things,” Faulkner said. “If even one guy isn’t locked into what’s going on, that can have detrimental effects.” Arruza put the second and third strings in charge in the second half. For most of the half, the R-MC offense sputtered, managing only a 25-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. The Yellow Jackets’ special teams also struggled, with one blocked field goal and three illegal procedure penalties on kickoffs that gave the Bobcats good field position. The R-MC defense, however, hurt the Bobcats in a department that Frostburg State normally has an advantage – turnovers. They had five – three interceptions and two fumbles – to just one interception thrown by Randolph-Macon. “We were just playing assignment football,” said R-MC’s Patrick Moses, who had one of the interceptions. “All the men were on the same page as Austin said, playing assignment football. We were just doing our jobs.” Randolph-Macon’s defensive secondary played aggressively, staying close enough to slap away a number of other Frostburg State passes. “We made too many mistakes against a real good team,”
said Frostburg State coach Tom Rogish. “When you make mistakes against a team that’s not very good, you can overlook them. But when you make them against real good people, you’re in trouble.” Frostburg State (1-3) was led by Suddath, who completed 6of-16 passes for 81 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions. Suddath scored the Bobcats’ other touchdown on a 5-yard run in the fourth quarter. Running back Anton Wade gained 97 yards on 15 carries. R-MC expects a much stronger challenge this Saturday when they travel to Emory & Henry. With a 4-0 record, the Wasps are one of three undefeated ODAC teams along with R-MC, Hampden-Sydney (4-0) and Bridgewater (3-0).

the nine players available, Lippa knew an adjustment period was likely. “We’re still experiencing growing pains,” Lippa said. “Right now, we’re not in sync.” That’s not a problem afflicting the Raiders, who can put a stranglehold on the district title with a win Oct. 7 at home against Lee-Davis. Still, Carpenter isn’t ready to call himself satisfied with where his team is at. “I don’t think we’re there yet,” Carpenter said. “There’s still things to work on defensively, and they’re not on the same page on some plays.

Raiders run past ranked Devils and Hawks No. 2 Atlee downs No. 10 Varina and No. 9 Hanover By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The No. 2 ranked Atlee Raiders boys volleyball team successfully navigated their first big test of the season, downing both No. 10 Varina and No. 9 Hanover to improve to 9-1 on the season. But more importantly they moved to 3-0 in Capital District play. On Tuesday, Atlee faced off against Varina, one of the Central Region’s biggest surprises this season and found they had their hands full. “Varina is much improved from last year and their coach is doing a fantastic job over there with those guys,” said Atlee coach Nick Robinson. “They played really well against us.” The Raiders took the first set 25-19 but fell to the Blue Devils 29-27 in the second. The third set brought another intense game with the Raiders coming out on top 25-21. Atlee then closed out the match with a 2514 victory in game four. Robert Chilcoat led Atlee with 20 kills and Kody Tingler 17 while Andrew Standford recorded six digs and six aces. In their home matchup against county rival Hanover, Atlee stormed out of the gate taking a 10-4 early lead. However, the Hawks showed signs of life, trimming the margin to 12-7 on a kill from Cameron Holl. But the Raiders responded by reeling off seven straight points under the service of Stanford to take a 19-7 lead then close out the game 25-12. “We knew coming in here, against us they were going to come out fired up in the first game and we were just going to have to take their best shot
42
and see what happens in the first game,” said Hanover head coach Mike Rohr. “We knew they were going to come out firing and we knew if we could just weather the storm, the second game was the game we had to go after and get.” True to Rohr’s word, the second game appeared to be Hanover’s for the taking. Trailing 2-4, the Hawks took a 5-4 lead thanks in part to an Atlee service error and lane violation. “Game two we came out a little bit lazy I think because of the outcome of game one,” Robinson said. “We played a little bit slower. Made some mental errors, service errors killed us in the second game. We didn’t pass as well either.” Atlee retook the lead 9-6 but from that point on neither team could create more than a two point cushion. Hanover took a 22-19 lead on kills from Tyler Peck but Atlee responded with a drop shot from Stanford and block from Tingler and Kyle Rodgers to pull within one, 22-21, forcing a Hawk timeout. Coming out of the break, an Atlee service error gave Hanover a 23-21 edge. But with their backs against the wall, the Raiders responded once again. A kill from Tingler was followed by a block from Billy Dishman, and kills from Stanford and Tingler to take game two 25-23. The close loss left Rohr with a feeling of what-if. “We almost got it,” he said. “We get that, it’s an interesting night if we get that second one.” Robinson said that Atlee got away from their game plan of getting the ball to Dishman at setter, where he is averaging 25 assists per match this season. “I think a lot of that has been because our passing has been decent up to this point of the
The Mechanicsville Local
September 29, 2010
year,” Robinson said. “We have a lot of offense. We have Kyle Rodgers, Kody Tingler and Robert Chilcoat and Andrew Stanford all playing really consistent volleyball offensively and that’s given us a lot of opportunities. And when we don’t let the ball hit the floor we’re going to continue to get good offensive opportunities because we’re getting a lot of balls up that we wouldn’t be able to get up. “The first game we were able to put the ball in our setter’s hands and run our offense,” he said. “In the second game, that really wasn’t the case. We were throwing a lot of balls to our outsides where we really didn’t want to. Defense fell apart a little bit. We just weren’t down covering like we were supposed to be and I think that hurt.” In game three Atlee went back to their bread and butter and Dishman finished the night with 37 assists. The Raiders raced out to an 8-4 lead which blossomed to 19-9 before the Hawks scored four straight on Atlee miscues. But the Raiders went on to close out the match with a 25-14 win in game three. Though upset with the loss, Rohr feels that Hanover is back on track after a few lean years. “Absolutely, I think definitely,” he said. “We were a little young last year. We didn’t have a lot of experience on the court but I think that’s paid off this year so far. We’ve played some good competition so far. Games that we have lost we made some mental mistakes.” Rohr also feels that confidence is the key for Hanover as the season continues. “I think we showed a little bit of it tonight,” he said. “It’s just a matter of, we’ve got to be able to, when the other team makes a big play, you’re not going to be able to stop everybody all of the time. You’ve got to be able to

come back and answer that next play. That second game we did it most of game, which is why we were in it. The third game we didn’t do it enough. “ Though undefeated in district play, the road gets no easier for Atlee as they now have to travel to Hanover and Lee-Davis. “I think pretty much from this point forward everybody is going to play well against us,” Robinson said. “They know we’ve got a target on our back. We know that we’ve got a target on our back and people are going to want to beat us.”
