No charges will be filed in missing boy case Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com A comprehensive criminal investigation, which began when Robert A. Wood Jr. was reported missing on Oct. 23, was provided to Hanover County Commonwealth’s Attorney
Trip Chalkley and a determination has been made that there is no information to support a criminal charge. Also, the boy was released from VCU Medical Center on Sunday. According to Capt. Michael J. Trice of the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, the investigation revealed that the cir-
cumstances that led to the missing child investigation did not rise to the level that would necessitate criminal charges. “I, like all of our community, rejoice in the safe return of Robert Wood Jr. to his family,” Chalkley said. He also expressed his appreciation to the Sheriff ’s Office, Ashland Police

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Anne Geddy Cross, the 2011 Hanover Christmas Mother.) As Christmas approaches, it is a time when many of us reflect on our many blessings in life. There are, however, many people in Hanover County who are not as fortunate as we are. In these difficult economic times, many families are suffering and need the help of the Hanover Christmas Mother Program. Last year. the Doswell Ruritan Club, through the Christmas Mother Program, helped more than 780 families. These included 1,639 children, an increase of more than 300 from the year prior. We expect even more requests this year. Members of the Ruritan club and other volunteers spend hours purchasing toys, gift cards for clothes, as well as sorting and distributing food. Last year, more than 1,225 boxes of food were distributed throughsee MOTHER, pg. 4

As Veterans’ Day nears, the Annual Buddy Poppy campaign of Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9808 and the Ladies Auxiliary will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 12, at several business locations in Mechanicsville. The VFW “Buddy” Poppy is a symbol of the sacrifices made by the nation’s war dead in the great conflicts for peace. According to Bill Elliott, the campaign benefits needy veterans and orphans of deceased veterans in this community. For more than 70 years, the little red buddy poppy has been distributed to benefit America’s veterans and their families. The poppy has become a nationally known and recognized symbol of sacrifice and is worn to honor the men and women who served and died for their country in all wars. The story of the poppy
begins in the World War I battlefields of Belgium, where the poppies grew wild amid the ravaged landscape. The overturned soils of battle enabled the poppy seeds to be covered, allowing them to grow and serve as a reminder of the bloodshed during that and future wars. The poppy movement was inspired by the poem, “In Flanders Fields,” written by Lt. Col. John McCrae of the Canadian forces in 1915 before the United States entered WWI. Selling replicas of the original Flanders’ poppy originated in some of the allied countries immediately after the Armistice. Moina Michael of Georgia is credited as the founder of the Memorial Poppy in the U.S. For more information, call Elliott at 746-5000.
County leaders give thanks to community (Editor’s note: The following, dated Nov. 3, 2011, was submitted by Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr., county administrator; Col. David R. Hines, sheriff; and Fred Crosby, Fire/ EMS chief. To our community: Last week’s search for Robert Wood Jr. around North Anna Battlefield Park reminded us all of why we love Hanover County. In something that veteran searchers they had never seen, thousands of citizen volunteers mobilized to search for this young man, spending hours and days walking over the most challenging terrain and along miles of river bank. The sheer number of volunteers was staggering and allowed us to work together and cover all pos-
sible locations for Robert. Innumerable other people lent their support in various ways, from holding prayer vigils to feeding our volunteers. Through your collaborative efforts, we created an opportunity to demonstrate just how a community can work together and support each other under very difficult circumstances. After a difficult week, the words we were all yearning to hear – “Robert Wood Jr. has been found!” – returned a lost boy to his family and provided relief to everyone who had been touched personally by this event. On behalf of everyone here at the county, thank you for all that you did and all that you will continue to do to make Hanover County the greatest place to live.

findings and reports were “comprehensive, detailed and factual.” Trice also said there is conclusive evidence that Robert was in the wooded area alone, near the North Anna Battlefield Park, between Oct. 23, when he was reported missing, and Oct. 28, when he was found by a citizen. Trice said the citizen who found Robert has cooperated fully with investigators and every aspect of his discovery has been validated. He also said there is no cause whatsoever to conclude that his actions were
anything other than honorable. ”Members of the Sheriff ’s Office joined the community in celebration when Robert was reunited with his family,” Hines said. “The days leading up to his rescue developed into an unprecedented and coordinated public safety response. The unique quality of the strategy was the utilization of thousands of citizens in the search effort. Their deployment into search grids allowed a wider area to be covered in a relatively brief period of time. Our goal now is to
ensure that our sincere thanks and gratitude reach the ears of those who participated in any way to the search effort.” Trice said this incident is a stark reminder of the benefits of the Project Lifesaver program, which is offered in all metro Richmond jurisdictions and, if used properly, can allow for the quick recovery of lost persons. Residents of Hanover County who would like to find out more about the Project Lifesaver program are encouraged to contact the Sheriff ’s Office.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Robert Wood Jr.’s rescue: a moment we won’t forget When the news broke on Friday, Oct. 28, that Robert Wood Jr. had been found alive, it was one of those “I remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard . . .” To the relief of residents throughout Hanover County and surrounding communities, the 8-year-old autistic boy was, considering he had been missing since Oct. 23, in pretty good condition. Amazing. Miraculous. The pride we as Hanover County residents can enjoy stems from the fact that our neighbors are such kind, caring and generous individuals. Even before the call went out for volunteers to search, so many people journeyed to the North Anna Battlefield Park to offer help — whatever law enforcement and emergency services personnel needed. We are blessed and fortunate to live in a county where it is commonplace to extend a helping hand — or, in this case, feet. With so many acres to cover in the search, volunteers joined with trained professionals in scouring the lands in and around the battlefield park. The “thank yous” are many in this case — from the many police agencies to first responders to all those volunteers. Wow! Thankfully, young Robert is safe at home with his family. Keeping up with his rescue left us feeling as if we know him. Due to the diligence of so many, he is alive and well. His story will live on as a shining moment to be in Hanover County. We don’t give up — and we do care about one another.

well done in the efforts to locate Robert “Robbie� Wood Jr., who was lost in the wilderness for six days. You and your staff demonstrated your dedication to finding this young boy. We certainly appreciate all of the efforts that you have undertaken to facilitate him being found. The National Truck & Heavy Equipment Claims Council (NTHECC) has developed a program for law enforcement agencies to support their K-9 units. It is my privilege to offer your fine department a $5,000 donation on behalf of the NTHECC. You will be the fifth recipient of the donation for the purchase of a new K-9. It is my understanding that this will work well for your office as you are in the process of retiring a dog next year. The NTHECC is very proud of this ongoing program. We would appreciate your making arrangements to travel to Dallas, Texas, in April 2012 to receive your donation. It is the intent of the NTHECC to help strengthen the lines of communication between the insurance industry and law enforcement to help you combat crime. We are hopeful that this donation will assist your department. Thomas M. Everette Jr. Public Relations chairman Board of Directors Wolfeboro Falls, N.H.
Thanks for help finding Robert On Friday, Oct. 28, 2011, I was lucky and proud to be able to volunteer my time to help in the search of Robert Wood Jr. For me, this experience was one of the most rewarding and satisfying in my 57 years. Like many others, I stood for hours waiting to go through the process and walked for hours
searching for this child. At the end of the day, witnessing the pure joy of celebration at the announcement that Robert was found alive and was in good condition is one that I will never forget. The infectious smiles, the happy tears, the final relief and just raw emotions were shared by so many, that this joy of knowing that Robert was OK, was simply contagious. My thanks go out to the many volunteers and professionals, who made this effort go so smoothly and so worthwhile to be part of. From those serving the coffee, donuts, water, field rations to the hot meal at the end of the day, and, to those who volunteered and those who orchestrated this massive event, even to the service dogs and media – all are to be commended.

Credit where credit deserved I keep hearing about Hanover’s AAA bond rating and wonder what the big deal is. I have an excellent credit rating of over 750 with the public rating bureaus and it is all because I make enough money to pay my bills on time. I can credit my rating score to my employer who pays me enough to pay my bills. I assume in the case of Hanover County, the AAA rating is because the taxes received from the taxpayer are more than enough to pay Hanover’s bills. Looking at it this way, wouldn’t it be safe to say: The three rating bureaus know that Hanover taxpayers do not complain about being taxed more than sufficiently to cover the expenditures of county govern-
ment and also that it is required by law that counties don’t spend more than they have coming in. Wouldn’t it be safe to say that most of the good life enjoyed by Hanover citizens is attributed to the intelligent, successful and law-abiding people living in Hanover? Shouldn’t credit be directed to where the credit is deserved? Edward “Bucky� Shope Mechanicsville
The other 99 percent It got little press attention on June 30 of this year, when the U.S. Senate spoke out with unaccustomed clarity and simplicity. Now, with thousands of Americans out in the streets all over the country, fervently repeating it, the message is loud and clear: (1) Our leading corporations have upped the salaries of their chief financial officers 19 percent in the past year. (2) Our overall annual family income has fallen over the past 10 years by $2,500. (3) The top 1 percent of our citizens now make 20 percent of all American income. (4) The top 1 percent have made four-fifths of all income gains in the past 25 years. The point is, we are fed up with Eric Cantor and the Republicans loading the tax burden of multi-millionaires on our backs and turning a deaf ear to us! We are the other 99 percent. Can you hear me now? Hubert Hawkins Manquin
Palin: political spokesmodel Sarah Palin’s not gonna run for president? Gosh. Darn. Walla Wall, Washington! Oh, wait, did you really think she would? Palin is making too much
money as a political spokesmodel to actually want to work in goverment. She has about as much relevance as a tea bag in the ocean (pun intended). Badger L. Garner Sr. Mechanicsville
The chicken or the egg I am 28 years old and have lived in Mechanicsville my entire life. Although still relatively young to the area, I’ve witnessed its rapid and everchanging growth; its evolution if you will. Yes, I used the word evolution and for some reason it is automatically linked to the subject of religion. My intent was to provide a different view for those who choose to debate a topic which is undeniably not debatable. For the past few weeks I’ve read several letters in The Local revolving around religion and quite frankly the “feud� has become somewhat comical. For the record I did not say religion was comical; I said the “feud� was comical. We often hear the question, “Why do great civilizations fail?� The answer is simple. Because the people lose track of their individual belief, the reason for being created, the reason it was once great. America, along with many other civilizations around the world, was founded for a single reason: religious persecution and the search for freedom. Everyone is unique with different views and beliefs which causes friction within any community. When a new idea is introduced, evolves, and is eventually accepted it is inevitable that along with acceptance will come rejection. Escaping religious persecution is the reason America was founded and I think we are forgetting that. All religions are basically the see LETTERS, pg. 15

However, the 6th Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” is addressed to mankind for our adherence. Jesus did not change the law, He came to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). God’s law is that unrepentant sinners will die and go to hell and be separated from Him — eternally. Jesus provided a way for forgiveness and escape from hell. This is the same message from the Old Testament. Our nation’s laws are based on God’s laws and the death penalty is applicable in some cases.

would you want for the murderer? Most would ask for the death penalty, a life for a life (Exodus 21:23). God desires for us to love, and serve Him of our own free will. He will not force us. He gives us the freedom of choice for ourselves, but our choices have consequences. Neither God nor His Word condones oppression or slavery of any kind. While most of the great religions treat women as inferior to men, the Bible gives women a place of dignity, honor and unspeakable worth, clearly expressed in Proverbs 31. Furthermore, if man (meaning all human beings) is in total control of his future, then he should at least be in control of his own body. Instead, he is subject to involuntary actions like: breathing, etc. He cannot even control hair or nail growth. He automatically does these things, irrespective of his will. He has minimal control over his daily bodily functions. His kidneys, bladder, intestines, heart, lungs, etc., work independently of his will. It is ludicrous to say that man controls his own destiny. He has trouble predicting the stock market, earthquakes and the weather, etc., let alone having control over these things. If man cannot rule his own body and life, how can he control the fate of the world . . . know right from wrong, or decide between the black and white shades of gray issues of life . . . without reliable guidance? It is true; there are many different versions of the Bible, versions in modern day language, foreign languages, and in the old English. However, each translation is based on the original biblical texts. The King James Version is the closest version to the original text.
The Bible was written over a period of 1,600 years by more than 40 writers, people from three different countries writing in three different languages. They wrote on hundreds of controversial subjects yet their writings were in agreement and harmony. They wrote in dungeons, temples and outdoors, during peacetime and war. And yet their words sound like they came from the same source. So, even though 10 people today could not write on one controversial subject and agree, God picked 40 different people to write the Bible – and it stands the test of time. In ancient times, books were copied by hand onto manuscripts made of parchment which decayed over time. Ancient books are available today only because someone made handwritten copies of the originals to preserve them. For example, we know what Julius Caesar wrote only by the manuscript copies made from the original, 1,000 years after he died. No other book has as many copies of the ancient manuscripts as the Bible (approximately 750 manuscripts Old Testament, 5,000 New Testament). And no other book has been so attacked throughout history as the Bible. Roman emperor Diocletian ordered every Bible burned thinking he could destroy Christianity. But 25 years later, Emperor Constantine ordered the Bible to be made at government expense. The French philosopher and skeptic Voltaire caused many people to leave their faith in God. He boasted that the Bible would disappear from the face of the earth within 100 years of his death. Within 50 years after his death, the Geneva Bible Society moved into Voltaire’s former house and used his printing presses to print thousands of Bibles. The Bible has survived criticism and no other book has been attacked more for its accuracy. Yet archeologists are
proving every year that Biblical descriptions in detail of historic events are correct. The Bible is accurate. It has no “real� errors or inconsistencies. It is more correct to say variations, meaning differences among the copies, rather than actual errors, meaning incorrect or wrong information. For example, if there are 1,267 manuscripts which read: “Our Father� and the remainder read “Your Father,� this difference is counted as 1,267 errors. Each variation is counted each time it appears, and even then the number of variations is very small. When the scribes of the 1st Millennium Christian era recorded all known variations in the Hebrew Old Testament (3/4 of the Bible), they amounted to approximately one (1) per page of text. Computer analysis of the known manuscripts of the New Testament shows a point one percent (0.1%) variance. That means that 99.9 percent of the Original Biblical manuscripts content is in perfect agreement. Most of these differences are due to spelling, word order and grammar. Errors like the old English spelling “Saviour� vs “Savior� or word order “Paul the apostle� vs. “the apostle Paul,� or grammar “Father who art in heaven� vs. “Father which art in heaven.� None of these variations [so-called “errors�] affects the basic doctrine of the Bible. There is a Creator. Creation shows that there is a Creator. There is no better proof that a Creator exists than to observe the creation. Faith is not needed to believe in a Creator; all we need are eyes that can see and a brain that works. And if God exists then the Bible must be true! “For the invisible things of God from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they (people) are without excuse. Because that, when they
knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.� (Romans 1:2022). Claudine Rellihan Mechanicsville

“The whole time I was in the service, I corresponded with my mother and father,” he said. “They weren’t real happy about me joining, but I thought joining was the right thing to do.” One of the most frightening experiences Farnsworth had was getting to his base. “We came to Korea on a troop ship and then had a four, maybe five-day train ride to our post in the Chowain Valley. The train didn’t have any heat and it was in December. We almost froze to death. After we were on the train a couple of days, at nighttime you could see these flashes. We thought it was thunder and lightning until the old colonel on the train got up and said to us that he wanted us to look ahead. ‘Those flashes aren’t lightning. Gentlemen, you are in war.’ When we got a little closer you could hear the bombs bursting. It scared us all.” Farnsworth signed up to be

a cook and did his basic training at Ft. Lee, Va. “When I got to Korea, the first sergeant told me he knew I wanted to be a cook, but that we needed a supply sergeant and would I do that. He told me they’d be able to promote me a little faster and the pay would be better, so I agreed to do it.” As supply sergeant, Farnsworth said he did a little bit of everything. “I had to make sure the guys had uniforms and other equipment they needed. I had a Jeep and I would also have to pick up some of our ammunition.” Farnsworth didn’t see any battle action but had a few harry moments. “The Chinese were also involved in the war. Once they were about to overrun us, and we had to react. I believe we had four artillery shells fly over us and land behind our barracks.” Farnsworth said he saw things in Korea he’ll never see again. One was the way some women were treated. “Women would come to

work in the fields and bring their babies with them. They would get started and then someone would come and take the babies from them and take them to a hut. The women would go on doing their work like nothing had happened and then pick their babies up at the hut when they were finished. That bothered me. I never thought it was right.” Farnsworth was discharged about the time the war ended. When he came home, his friends thanked him for serving, and, for awhile, he corresponded with several members of his unit. “I use to get Christmas cards from several of the men I served with, but, in recent years, it’s down to one who lives in Wisconsin. I didn’t get one from him this past year . . .” Like Farnsworth, Montgomery’s memories are often filled with emotion. “I was in the Air Force. I went in on Friday, Oct. 13, 1961,

and retired on July 1, 1983,” he said. “I did one tour of duty in Vietnam from 1964-1965 and then was there for temporary duty in 1970.” Montgomery was a senior master sergeant when he retired. When he arrived in Vietnam, he said there was 16,000 American military personnel there. “Most of our military in Vietnam at that time was officers and NCOs (non-commissioned officers),” he said. “They were there to train troops.” Montgomery said that

was raised. Her father, Vernon M. Geddy Jr., served as mayor of Williamsburg. “He was so involved in the community and did so many things in so many ways for different people,” Cross said. “I grew up going places with him and meeting people and being aware that that’s how you should live.” “We are so fortunate,” she added. “We need to give back; you have to give back.”
much of the emotion and pain he experienced then and today had to do with the American public’s perception of the war. “Vietnam veterans are not highly looked upon by the public. The Vietnam War was really a conflict. The public was so against the veterans in those days that we were spit on and called baby killers. It got so bad that in a job I had delivering sensitive information to members of Congress that I had to wear civilian clothes so I wouldn’t be picked out and the items I was carrying wouldn’t be compromised.” “For 47 years, I have written thousands of pages [in my
mind] on my experiences and about the dishonorable thoughts I had, especially during the first five months of Vietnam. It’s only by the grace of God and my parents’ upbringing that enabled me not to carry out those thoughts. In those days, we didn’t have post traumatic syndrome. Like myself, many of us just bore the thoughts. We hid them within ourselves. Not one time have I ever been able to dictate, transcribe or write a word of these thoughts. They’ve been haunting me for the last 47 years.” Today, Montgomery said, when he hears of a soldier being somewhere like Iraq or
Afghanistan doing things that aren’t in the good character of a soldier because of a mental breakdown, he understands his dilemma and what caused it. In Vietnam, Montgomery lived in what was known as tent city near Ton Sun Nhut Air Base. “There was elephant grass that was over my head in front of my tent and a human waste ditch behind my tent. If the enemy came, I knew they would come through the elephant grass. I devised a plan to escape. If they came, I was going to hit the human waste ditch, but what I couldn’t solve was once I hit the ditch, was I going
to turn right or left. That’s how silly I was.” Fortunately, he never had to make that decision, but on Halloween night 1964, he did have a reality check. “Exactly at midnight, the Vietcong hit a base about 20 miles from Ton Sun Nhut. They issued me a weapon, one clip of ammunition and put me in a bunker next to the communications center. I just knew I was going to be a victim. I survived, but incidents like that still plague me today.” After his tour in Vietnam ended, Montgomery spent another 18 years in the Air Force and described his career
as successful. “I joined the Air Force to get off the farm [in Narrows, Va.] and to learn a real skill,” he said. “I’d do it again and I’ll recommend to any young man or woman who isn’t going to college and doesn’t have a job that the military is a great place to learn a skill, earn some college credits and be somebody.” Charles Farnsworth and Steve Montgomery may have served in different branches of the military and in different wars, but the experience binds them. On Friday, they – and all who have served this nation – will be remembered and thanked.
Church is a very important part of Cross’s life. A lifelong Episcopalian, she is a 27-year member of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church at Hanover Courthouse. She serves on the vestry and is director of the Altar Guild and a member of the Memorials Committee. With the vestry, Cross is Hospitality chairman and works with Parish Life. She started teaching Sunday School when her sons were young and now teaches the High School Sunday School class.
Cross was baptized and confirmed at Bruton Parish Church. She became familiar with the Ruritan members due to the role of the Altar Guild, which prepares the meals for the club’s meetings. C oming f rom Williamsburg, Cross has a great love for history. She majored in history at Hollins College in Roanoke, “and that served me well with the historical groups I have become involved in.”
She serves as vice president of Preservation Virginia. “I firmly believe that people need to have a context for their lives; they need to know about the past and history and have visual reminders of it to see.” She said Preservation Virginia “is a pretty remarkable orga-
nization. We have a number of properties, but we’re great advocates.” She also is a member of the Hanover County Historical Society and has served as president “a couple of times.” Cross’s community involvements aren’t limited to history
though. She serves as chairman of the Pamunkey Regional Library Board and chairman of Historic Garden Week in Virginia. To schedule an appearance, call Cross at 869-7995 or Jim Vass of the Doswell Ruritan Club at 370-8337.

Every year Freedom House, the Richmond organization that provides food, shelter and services to the homeless and poor in the Richmond area, sponsors an event called Empty Bowls. The fundraiser is run by local churches and recreates a soup kitchen. The churches sell tickets to the event and serve attendees soup and bread for supper in donated ceramic bowls that are decorated by local art students, Girl and Boy Scouts, and professional artists. The bowls are chosen carefully by the participants as they are allowed to keep them once the soup is gone. This year, as in previous years, Troop 3133 made bowls using troop funds and donated the bowls to Freedom House for this event. The girls then attended the event at Grace Baptist Church in Richmond on Oct. 20. For more information about this event, check out www. freedomhouserichmond.org. Shown are: leaders Diane Wisner and Jane Dry, and Ambassador Girl Scouts Abbie Wisner, Erica Hess, Rachel Laux, Julia Dry and Caroline Bivens.

Raiders exorcise demons, down Springers Defense leads way to historic win over Highland Springs By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com It’s been a long time coming. That was the sentiment among Atlee players, coaches and fans following the #8 Raiders 23-15 win over #9 Highland Springs on Friday night. Coming into the contest, Atlee had already exorcised one demon by securing the school’s first playoff berth since 1998. Beating the virtually unbeatable Springers was another. “It means a lot to this community,” said Atlee head coach
Roscoe Johnson. “It means a lot to this school. It means a lot to these kids that are right here as well as this coaching staff. We’ve worked some long hours and we’ve worked hard to get where we’re at. I’m proud of these kids. The victory was yet another step in Johnson’s work to transform the perception of Atlee football. “We respect everyone but we’re not afraid of anybody,” he said. “We’re no longer the punching bag of this district or this area. Our kids believe. It’s taken us some time, the coaching staff from the very start, from the coaches that I originally had, we’ve come out here and done everything we can to get these kids prepared and the kids just believe. The community believes in us and the school
believes in us. I’m excited.” Despite boasting a high power offense, it was the Atlee defense that turned in a highlight performance, shutting out Highland Springs until midway through the fourth quarter. Atlee quarterback Ruben Rucker felt the game ball clearly went to the defensive coaching staff, which added legendary Huguenot coach Richard McFee as coordinator this season. “The majority of the credit should go to coach Johnson because of his incredible coaching ability and his recruiting

Canady helps Blue Devils stay red-hot vs Hawks Quarterback accounts for five TDs in blowout By Eric Kolenich Media General News Services Since losing to Hermitage on Sept. 23, the Varina Blue Devils have become an offensive juggernaut, scoring 48 points or more in five consecutive weeks and making quality football teams look like JV squads. The Blue Devils put another notch in their belt Friday night, as quarterback Maurice Canady accounted for five touchdowns,
and visiting Varina swamped Hanover 42-3. “Maurice is the best athlete on our team,” Varina coach Stu Brown said. “I’m not sure he’s not the best athlete in the region, and we’re going to put the ball in the best athlete’s hands.” The win puts No. 2 Varina (8-1, 6-0) on the doorstep of the Capital District title. If the Blue Devils knock off Highland Springs next week, they will secure a spot in the Division 6 playoffs. Following the game, Brown told his team they could enjoy
the win until 12:01 a.m. this morning. After that, it was Highland Springs week. No. 7 Hanover, a member of Division 5, has already secured a postseason spot. Canady, a Virginia recruit, scored Varina’s first touchdown on the third play of the game on third and 15. Canady faked a handoff, then darted up the right side of the field. By the end of the night, he had rushed for three touchdowns, threw for one and returned an interception 70 yards into the end zone. He finished with 13 carries for
148 yards. Canady began the season as a wide receiver. When quarterback Brandon Wood was suspended the day of the Hermitage game, Canady was thrust into the signal-calling position. Having played quarterback half of the 2010 season, it wasn’t a position with which he was completely unaccustomed. But he took some time to get back into the swing of things, as the offense went scoreless and Kevin Morley/Media General News Services Varina’s Tony Tate, left, eludes Hanover’s Patrick Sorey to score Varina fell 14-2 at Hermitage. see VARINA, pg. 39 `

coaches from everywhere,” Rucker said. “How we managed to get Coach McFee- Coach Richard McFee, the one that’s like a legend in Virginia, I don’t know how we got him but luckily we did and he’s turned things around.” “Coach (Richard) McFee and staff did an awesome job this week preparing for (Highland Springs),” Johnson said. “We gave up some big plays but when it was said and done we were able to make the stops that we needed.” Senior linebacker Cole Woody led the way with 13 tackles, three sacks and a fumble recovery. “Cole Woody played an awesome game as well,” Johnson said. “He just got off from having a cast so I’m excited for him.” Not to be outdone, senior defensive lineman Jeremy Epps had nine tackles and two big fumble recoveries that snuffed out Highland Springs drives. The Atlee offense was in control from the opening kickoff. Though the Raiders failed to score on their first possession, they gave the Springers an early taste of what they would face all night. Atlee ran 18 plays that covered 72 yards and ate up five and half minutes before they were stopped on fourth and goal at the three.

the redzone. But on a fourth and four play from the 8-yard line, Austin Sutherland batted away a pass to Willie Stubblefield and the Raiders took over possession on downs. Atlee looked like it suffered a major loss when senior running back Jared Hall was shook up on a second and four play from their own 14. But on third and five, freshman Loumond Dandrige Jr. subbed in and broke through a gap to pick up 27 yards. The Raiders were once again in trouble after Rucker was sacked shy of midfield, setting up a third and 15 play from the 36. But Rucker found wide receiver Will McCombs on a crossing pattern and the senior took control, bursting through but I guess when it’s a hard the Springer secondary then racfought battle things are going ing away for a 64-yard touchto happen,” said Atlee head down reception.

Highland Springs looked as if they would get on the board first, driving the ball the length of the field to set up a 29-yard field goal attempt from Oscar Portillo. But Atlee defensive lineman Josh Spears man-handled a Springer defender, forcing him back into the kick and teammate Jacob Cooper fell on the ball at the 37. With the game scoreless, the Springers threatened once again midway through the second. Quarterback D.J. Johnson (25of-44 for 355 yards), who was repeatedly chased from the pocket by the Atlee defense, proved elusive and guided his team into
Victory marred by brawl Atlee’s shining moment victory was somewhat dimmed by a post-game brawl that erupted between the Raiders and Springers. As the two teams came to midfield for the post game handshake, shouts and shoving suddenly erupted in the clash. Coaches and Atlee school officials quickly separated the players and sent them to opposite ends of the field, but the event took some of the luster off the Raiders historic win. “I hate that it ended this way

connected on the PAT to give Atlee a 7-0 lead. “Will McCombs is the man,” Rucker said. “He’s the man. He catches everything. It’s like I’m throwing a south pole magnet and he has north pole hands and opposites attract and he just catches it no matter where it is.” The Raiders added to their lead midway through the third. A 45-yard punt from Pulisic pinned the Springers at their own 7-yard line but Johnson quickly marched them out of the danger zone on an 18-yard pass to Ralph Stovall. But on the ensuing play, the handoff was bobbled and Epps fell on the fumble to give Atlee the ball on the Springer 32. The Raiders struck quickly on a two-play scoring drive. Rucker (14-of-23, 182 yards) caught McCombs (9 recep-

tions, 154 yards) in stride but he stopped at the one. From there Hall returned to punch it into the endzone. Atlee was stopped on the 2-point conversion attempt but held a 13-0 lead with less than five minutes left in the third. It looked as if Atlee would break the game open when linebacker Tye Burris picked off a Johnson pass and returned it 55 yards to the endzone but the play was called back to the 27 on a block in the back. The Raiders only managed seven yards but Pulisic pushed the lead to 16-0 on a 37-yard field goal. The Springers got good position when Martin Smith Jr. returned the ensuing kick off to midfield. But Epps once again recovered a botched handoff to give Atlee the ball at their own 43. With a large lead the Raiders looked to run the clock by putting the ball in the hands of Hall who took a pounding but moved the chains. Hall (30 carries, 136 yards) picked up 31 yards on four straight carries allowing Rucker to loft a 32-yard TD pass to McCombs for a 23-0 lead two minutes into the fourth quarter. “He’s a work horse,” Johnson said of Hall. “Jarred Hall is a trooper and you know he’s going to get his yards. He may not get them right off the bat but you know he’s going to get his yards.” Hall felt the variety of offensive looks allowed him to produce. “We were just trying to switch up the running game as much as possible,” he said. “We’d trying running it to the outside then might try running it to the inside. We might try doing a trap or a zone we just try switching it up a little bit.” The Springers finally got on the scoreboard when Smith returned the ensuing kickoff 79 yards to the Atlee 21. From there Johnson ran in from 12 yards out to pull the Springers within 23-7. On their next possesion, the
Springers moved even closer following a 24-yard pass to Smith. Johnson trimmed the lead to a single score with six minutes to play on a 3-yard keeper and 2-point conversion. The Raiders once again turned to Hall to run the clock. Despite the cold weather and Springer focus on knocking the ball from his hands, Hall never lost his grip, taking a pounding in the process. “We always work on ball security, keeping the ball high and tight all the time and I’ve just got to keep it up,” he said. “Jarred Hall is the man as well,” Rucker said. “Jarred Hall has the biggest heart on the team. Coming off a torn ACL like two years ago and just going hard in the game. Then getting hurt in the game, hurting his ACL then coming right back in and just carrying the offense on his back and driving it down the field.” Atlee was forced to punt the ball back with 1:34 to play giving the Springers shot at a tie. But their last gasp fell incomplete on a fourth and 11 play with 15 seconds remaining and the Atlee celebration began. “I’m just ecstatic,” Hall said. “We won senior night. It’s the first time in three or four years we’ve won senior night.” Not only have the Raiders secured a spot in the Division 5 playoffs but they can lock up home field advantage with a win at Lee-Davis this Friday night.

Hawks upset Raiders for district crown Third time the charm for Hanover By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com All season long, Hanover boys volleyball coach Mike Rohr felt his Hawks had the talent to beat Atlee. Though Hanover lost only two Capital District matches, they both came at the hands of the Raiders and the regular season ended with Rohr winless against Hanover’s rival team. Still the coach believed his team was good enough to win. “They’re great and they play some great, unbelievable defense,” Rohr said. “I tell you what, we felt all year if we put everything together and we were consistent, we could play with them.” Last Wednesday in the Capital District championship match at Glen Allen High
capable of playing against them,” Rohr said. The Hawks’ final reguwww.mechlocal.com lar season meeting with Atlee See slideshow online! gave them motivation. “The last game we played them, we beat them one game and that kind of made them buck,” said Hanover’s Tyler Peck. “The mentality was we had to stay focused and show them we can beat them and we did.” Ironically, the match did not start as if Hanover even had a chance. Atlee raced out of the gate to a 7-2 lead on consecutive back-line kills from Davis Ellenberger. But seeing the game slipping away, Hanover came alive. Back-to-back kills from William Atwood started an 8-2 run for Charlie Leffler/The Local the Hawks to knot the game at 10-10. Hanover’s William Atwood, center, hammers a kill past the defense of Atlee’s Mac Gray (11) and Billy Dishman (1). The Raiders edged ahead 13-10 but back-to-back aces School, Rohr finally saw his 28-26, 22-25, 25-22. The fact only made things sweeter. Hawks complete the mission that this victory earned them “Tonight we finally stepped from Hanover’s Dyan Renick and take Atlee down 3-1; 28-26, the district tournament trophy up and played the way we’re tied the game at 13 to continue
a series of nip and tuck. Atlee took a 19-17 lead on a Hanover lift but the Hawks answered. A kill and ace from Atwood, a tipped shot from Hunter Locks and a misplayed ball by the Raiders gave Hanover a 21-20 lead. A tip shot from Peck put Hanover at set point but the Hawks next shot went out of bounds to tie the game at 2424. Atlee took the advantage on a kill from Mac Gray then gave the point back on a service error. The Raiders edged ahead once again on a Hanover service error but Locks stole the point back on a tip setting up the Hawks 28-26 win on an Atwood block and a Raiders mishit. “Things went our way in the first game,” Rohr said. “I thought we did a good job of holding off the storm at the end see HAWKS, pg. 39 `
Atlee flat out better in district championship Emotionless Raiders roll past Hanover 3-0 By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com As they have done for the past two seasons, the Atlee girls volleyball team rolled through another Capital District regular season, capping things with a 3-0 sweep of Hanover on Wednesday night to repeat as district tournament champions. The victory moves the Raiders streak over district opponents to 49 straight matches without losing a single set. Regardless of the fact that it was a contest for the Capital District tournament title, the Raiders went about their work
at Glen Allen High School as if it was just another day at the office. There were few cheers from the players following each of the three set victories. The most emotional display of the night came with the trophy presentation but head coach Curtis Carpenter would like to see more of that enthusiasm during games. “It’s definitely been something that we’ve been trying to work on,” he said. “I’ve been giving them a hard time about lack of intensity. I know there’s going to be certain teams that we’re going to get pushed by as we go along. We saw some of those teams in the beginning of the season. So my preaching to them is they’ve got to bring it themselves.” Carpenter believes part of
the problem may be a result of being so good. “We create such a quick offense that right off the bat we keep people out of their system,” he said. “Because of that reason, I don’t think we seen some of the best that these other teams can play because we’ve kept them so out of system. Me saying, ‘You all have got to get fired up’ and they’re beating somebody by 10-12 points, that’s hard to do.” Atlee ran out to a 10-4 lead in game one before mental lapses allowed Hanover back into the contest.

Atlee’s Hall takes regional title by 0:00.29 By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com When encouraging cross country runners, every coach has used the saying that the only time a lead matters is at the finish line. “There’s many times I have to remind them; leading at the first mile, they don’t measure that,” said Atlee head coach Jim Trimeplar. “They measure who leads at the finish line… Now in talking about that, we don’t necessarily mean that’s the only time you should lead but if it works out that way then that’s okay.” Atlee sophomore Nathaniel Hall was exception to the rule during the Central Region championships at Pole Green Park on Saturday. Throughout a majority of the 5k race, Hall trailed Douglas Freeman’s Ronnie Calkins and Mills Godwin’s Andrew Benfer. “I was trying to go out a little more controlled, let them take me out the first mile, which they did,” Hall said. “I was expecting to lead through the second mile but they pulled out a little bit. I was just trying to stay with them at that point.” It was not until the final leg that Hall passed Benfer but Calkins actually stretched his lead further. “About half a mile through I was just like, this is right where I want to be,” Hall said. “I can do this. I really want to be regional champion. And www.mechlocal.com See slideshow online! Photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local
At left: Fifty meters from the finish of the Central Region Cross Country Championship, Atlee sophomore Nathaniel Hall (882) trailed Douglas Freeman’s Ronnie Calkins. But Hall made an amazing stretch run to edge out Calkins at the line, winning the race by 0:00.29 of a second. It was Hall’s only lead of the race.

then with about 1000-1200 meters to go I’d moved up to second place and (Calkins) looked like he was starting to hurt a little and I knew I was going to feel better than him. I know I’m going to be able to get him at the end. That completely changed with 100 meters to go and he pulled away.” Calkins still maintained a two meter lead 50 meters from the finish line. “He was starting to pull away and I figured I might as well just give it everything I’ve got,” Hall said. In an amazing fashion, Hall sprinted past Calkins to take his first lead of the race at the finish; leaning across the line at 15:55.01 to edge out Calkins by 29 one hundredths of a second. “It was probably the most amazing feeling I’ve ever known; that it had been that close and such a great race,” Hall said. So much so that Hall stepped away from the congratulations of others to release and enthusiastic scream of “YES!” With 56 points, Mills Godwin claimed the team win over Deep Run, Douglas Freeman and Midlothian. Atlee was seventh, Hanover 10th and Lee-Davis 13th. After disappointing races in the Capital District championships, Hanover’s James Poyer and Lucas Nachman earned All-Region honors with 11th and 13th place finishes and a berth in the state meet. Hanover sophomore Molly Breidenbaugh finished third (18:19.88) in the girls varsity race behind Cosby’s Megan

Moye and Monacan’s Kaila Blackburn. Moye set a new regional meet record with a time of 17:39.33. Hanover sophomore Annie Sadler also earned All-Region honors with a 14th place finish and will join Breidenbaugh in the state meet. Midlothian (57) won the girls title over Cosby (77), Maggie Walker (85) and Mills Godwin (105). Hanover just missed out on a state berth with a fifth place team finish. Atlee came in sixth and LeeDavis eighth. The Atlee girls won the subvarsity race by placing four runners in the top 14. “That was something we wanted to do because I think that’s a measure of how deep you go,” Triemplar said. Atlee freshman Brittany Wilkerson won the race with a time of 20:26.84, teammate Paige Harrar claimed second, Katherine Leitch fifth and Katt Grasberger 14th. Patrick Henry’s Kanani Collins, Makayla Peterson and Ashlie Cole finished 10-thru-12. Patrick Henry’s Wyatt Campbell won the boys subvarsity race with a time of 17:10.24. Atlee’s Michael Spanolo was seventh.

of the first game and coming back and getting it. I thought that was a big lift and I think that carried over into the second game.” The second set followed a similar pattern with Atlee holding a 15-12 lead only to see Hanover reel off eight straight points for a 20-15 lead. Throughout, the Hawks refused to yield on any ball that came their way. “It’s never take your head out of the game,” Peck said. “Any ball that you dive for could possibly be a point and every ball that we dove for was a point or an attempted point that changed the game. It showed them that we were not going to give up.” But Atlee had an answer. Trailing 22-17, the Raiders reeled off seven straight points with Kevin Eye at serve, capped by an ace and a 23-22 lead. Hanover moved to set point three times only to see Atlee answer. But with the game knotted at 26, Peck slammed a dunk shot over the net and another

a double hit by Atlee pulled the Hawks within one, 10-9. But when they need it most, the Raiders have the talent to go on huge runs and so they did, outscoring Hanover 15-2; closing out the set on a pair of Haley Brooks aces and a kill from Karlie Suber for a 25-11 win. The Raiders never let Hanover contest the second set, racing ahead 9-3 which stretched to 13-4 on an ace from Suber before going on to a 25-10 win. Atlee was extremely aggressive from the service line. So much so that four of Hanover’s 10 points came on Raider service errors. In fact, the Raiders have stepped up their already aggressive nature even more down the stretch.

Hanover’s Tyler Peck (18) gets up to cap a shot from Atlee’s Matt Rohr.
Raider mishit gave game two to the Hawks 28-26. With their backs against the wall, Atlee came out strong in game three. Like the two previous sets Hanover battled but
this time the Raiders found their edge at the same time the Hawks lost theirs. With the game tied at 22, Atlee took the win on a Matt Rohr kill and two misplayed balls by Hanover.
“We want to be aggressive and we’re going to come at you aggressive,” Carpenter said. “The end of our season we’ve actually been working on being more aggressive at the serve. I’ve got kids that are jump serving now that haven’t been jump serving except for the last two weeks.” Carpenter is doing everything he can to prepare his squad to a return to the state championship tournament. “We want to come at you hard,” he said. “That’s one way we’re going to keep you out of system. If you can pass us, then we’ll play some defense against you. I want us to be hard with our serving.” For Hanover, simply getting a return on Atlee’s service was a challenge. “Atlee served phenomenal,” said head coach Karl Lippa. “I mean Atlee served extremely well and that got us a
little rattled, so it was hard to do block coverage as much.” Atlee led 20-10 in the third set before Hanover went on a brief three point run. The Raiders then closed out the match 25-14. Where Atlee lacked emotion, Hanover was simply drained of it after a hard fought 3-2 upset victory of #2 seed Lee-Davis in the semifinals the night before; 25-21, 25-22, 2325, 19-25, 15-11. The Hawks had struggled through a difficult 13-9 regular season being swept by both Atlee and Lee-Davis. So just reaching the district championship and earning a regional berth took all of the emotion they possessed. “One of my favorite quotes is ‘The journey is the reward’ and getting here to the finals was the reward,” Lippa said. “LeeDavis, hats off to them, oh my
“I think we got thinking a little too much about winning in the third game,” Coach Rohr said. “I was a little worried when they took the third one because this game is so momentum. Once you win that third one you’ve only got to win one more to get it to five then it’s all even.” But Peck said the Hawks were not concerned even after they lost a set. “We had it in our heads, we knew we could beat them,” he said. “We knew we could do it.” Still, Atlee looked as if they were going tie the match once they had pulled out to a 1915 lead in the fourth set but Hanover regrouped. “You’ve got the same guys that I thought were kind of losing it a little bit mentally caught themselves and got themselves back in the game mentally and really took charge,” Rohr said, complimenting Peck, Locks, Atwood, Hazelwood and Renick. “I think we got away from the things we were doing well there for a little while.” Atwood knotted the game at 20 on a vicious kill but Atlee God, that was such a match and we knew coming into this the emotional energy we had to put in to get here was something we had to do.” While Hanover achieved their goal of reaching regionals, Atlee’s still lies ahead. “We want to be undefeated in November,” Carpenter said. “That’s our goals. We still have work to do.” Atlee................................... 25 25 25 Hanover............................. 11 10 14 Highlights: Mallory Moore (H) 9 assists; Halee Winston (H) 2 kills; Clarke Power (A) 7 kills Records: Atlee 25-3; Hanover 14-10 Hanover.................... 25 25 23 19 15 Lee-Davis................. 21 22 25 25 11 Highlights: Mallory Moore (H) 3 kills, 10 digs, 37 assists; Shawna Kirby 21 digs; Halee Winston (H) 9 kills, 3 digs; Lindsey Neal (L) 5 aces, 18 digs; Jordan Martin (L) 17 assists; Logan Bryan (L) 6 kills, 9 digs Records: Hanover 14-9; Lee-Davis 17-3
edged head on a kill from Matt Rohr. Atwood tied the contest again and Andrew Price answered for Atlee, giving the Raiders a 22-21 lead. But Peck and his fellow Hawks were hungry. “I was saying all night, ‘Feed the machine. Feed the machine’,” he said. “I was so hungry for this one. We all said to each other, this game all comes down to who wants this trophy the most. We looked at this trophy 15 times in the timeouts saying, ‘Who wants that more? We want it more! We want it more!’” The Hawks showed how much they wanted it, not letting Atlee score again. Atwood blasted home a kill and Locks aced the Raiders. Another kill from Atwood put the Hawks a match point then they claimed the trophy 25-22 on a Renick kill.

Since that night, Varina has turned 180 degrees. Friday night’s 42 points were an offensive low for the Blue Devils in the past six weeks. “He understands every facet of our offense,” Brown said of Canady. “He can tell the offensive line exactly what they should be doing.” Wearing a large brace on his right arm, Sam Rogers made his return three weeks after dislocating his elbow. Rogers, previously the Hawks’ quarterback, lined up as a slot receiver. Rogers, who can’t currently throw because of his injury, isn’t expected to play quarterback again this season.

Zac Naccarato: Character is the key out there and you’re trying to make a play and you want to do anything to make a play,” he said. “But there’s sometimes when you’ve got to know, ‘Hey, you don’t have it here. You’ve got to get it away’.” “He’s definitely not careless with the football,” Arruza said. “He’s definitely not a guy that’s just going to go out there and sling it round. He’s been good.” Even when he has made a mistake the freshman has shown the ability to quickly bounce back. “I don’t let stuff bother me out on the field,” he said. “It’s just one play happens and you’ve got to move on to the next play.”
R-MC freshman quarterback has been poised and mature By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Coming into this season, Randolph-Macon head football coach Pedro Arruza had a tough decision to make. With the graduation of Austin Falkner, historically one of the program’s best quarterbacks, who would fill the void? Should Arruza go with Greg Petrohovich, a sophomore out of Benedictine who possessed both talent and playing experience or freshman Zac Naccarato, who showed signs of unlimited potential? In preseason camp, Arruza knew Naccarato had the talent to ultimately become the starter at some point during the season. So the coach decided why not sooner than later and gave Naccarato the nod, not because of his talent but because of his character. “We have five quarterbacks in this program right now and of the five he has the weakest arm,” Arruza said. “When you watch him throw, his ball doesn’t have a tight spiral. But he’s easily the best of the five quarterbacks that we have. “A lot of that comes down to toughness, that’s he able to make decisions, how smart he is, just what kind of kid he is in totality,” Arruza said. Though less talented than his fellow QBs, Naccarato showed Arruza everything the coach was looking for during the recruiting process. “I think a lot of it came down to character,” Arruza said. “I think much is made about arm strength and instincts and how hard a guy throws the ball, but I think the thing that stood out to me

about Zac is just his character; how hard a worker he was. What kind of person he was.” Naccarato came to R-MC out of Riverbend High School knowing little about the program other that was his brother Jesse, a junior halfback for the Yellow Jackets, told him. But Zac’s meetings with Arruza and visits to campus convinced him Ashland was the place to play. When he stepped onto Day Field his the career opener, he admits there were nerves, but he maintained his poise to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 43-7 win over Methodist while seeing only three quarters of action “I was definitely excited but you’ve got to find a way to control that and just focus on what you had to do,” he said. “I thought I did a good job that day.” While naming Naccarato the starter, Arruza maintained the luxury of having Petrohovich as a backup in case things fell apart. But that insurance disap-

peared in the second game of the season when a broken his foot sidelined the sophomore for the rest of the year. Suddenly the Yellow Jackets’ most experienced quarterback was one with only a game and a half under his belt. “To me it made things easer in the sense that I had no choice,” Arruza said. “I had to get Zac better. “I think probably in some ways it helped because there probably would have been times earlier in the year where I might not have played through some things with Zac had I had another option,” Arruza pointed out that every dark cloud can have a silver lining. “If Drew Bledsoe doesn’t get hurt you don’t discover Tom Brady.” As the season continued, Naccarato not only showed skill but poise and maturity beyond his years. Time after time he has made big plays after being flushed from the pocket to create positive yardage.
“I feel like I do a little bit better on the run,” Naccarato said. “I’m not the fastest guy but when I get on the run I feel our receivers do a good job of getting open.” Likewise, at 6-2, 210, Naccarto is not shy about taking a hit. “It doesn’t really bother me,” he said. “I’ll take a hit for a big play any day.” But Naccarato’s maturity has been best displayed when everything falls apart. Rather than force a bad throw and cause a possible turnover, the freshman has fought off the urge and safely dumped the ball. He admits that is something no quarterback likes to do, especially a freshman. “Sometimes you get
“He’s unflappable,” Arruza said. “I can yell at him. I can talk to him. I can pretty much take any approach…If you’re going to play quarterback or me you’d better have thick skin and he does. He’s able to take a butt chewing and keep going on.” But it is the freshman’s knowledge that sets him apart from his teammates. Naccarato has shown the uncanny ability to quickly learn a majority of the offensive playbook. “He’s just a sponge,” Arruza said. “He soaks everything up…Whereas some quarterbacks you can only give them so much, I feel like he’s been able to handle quite a bit- pretty much almost as much as Austin (Faulkner) was able to handle last year as a fifth year senior.” For Arruza, the comparisons between Faulkner and Naccarato are hard to dismiss. “They both came from Riverbend. Neither one won a lot of games in high school,” Arruza said, not shy about admitting Faulkner was one of the favorite players he’s ever coached. “A little odd that one would follow the other. It’s interesting there are so many parallels. I think Zac has more talent than Austin coming out but you want to talk about the same type of kids.” In 2008, in his first year as a starter, Faulkner averaged 158.8 yards per game passing, threw see NACCARATO, pg. 41 `

Freshman quarterback Zac Naccarato has shown maturity and poise while leading the Yellow Jackets to a 7-2 season.
Hanover field hockey makes historic first By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Hanover’s Juliana Moore gave her fellow Hawks – and the entire Capital District – an early Christmas present. The senior scored both of Hanover’s goals against a tough Cosby team to lead the Hawks to a 2-1 Central Region field hockey semifinal victory at SportsQuest Wednesday night and earn Hanover its first trip to the state tournament. After falling to Maggie Walker Governor’s School 3-1, Hanover earned a road trip for the Group AAA state tournament. The Hawks faced South County at West Springfield Monday night after press deadlines. Hanover’s first is also a first for the Capital District. No other Capital team has reached the state tournament.
“We worked so hard,” Moore said. “This is our first time. … I love it! It’s really good.” Hanover coach Sarah Bottorff savored the Hawks’ accomplishment. “This is a first, and this is the team to do it. It’s the best team we’ve ever had,” Bottorff said. “It says a lot about the way that these girls play and how much they love this sport to get this far.” Neither team scored in the first half. Cosby came out hard in the second half and quickly got an advantage after a Hanover player was sidelined because of a penalty. But the Hawks, shorthanded as they were, fought off Cosby’s shots and pressed their attack. Abby Bellows fed the ball to Moore, who found an opening on Titans’ left and fired the ball into the net with 27:03 left
Day Field finale The 117th edition of “The Game” will be played on Day Field this Saturday at 1 p.m. when Randolph-Macon hosts Hampden-Sydney. But this year’s edition of “The South’s Oldest Small College Rivalry” will have special meaning for several reasons. Not only will it be a senior day celebration for 19 Yellow Jacket players, including the likes of Byron Overstreet (Patrick Henry), Thaddeus Scruggs, Joe Pricone, Jeremy Bowry and Colin Moe, it will also be the final game played on Day Field under its current configuration. At the end of the season work will begin to switch the field to a north-south orientation and put down field turf. “It’s going to be emotional for sure,” said RandolphMacon head coach Pedro Arruza. “I’ve been here for eight years now and I feel like
this has been a special place for me and a lot of memories on that field. A lot of good memories, some bad, the early years were tough, but yeah, it will be an emotional deal.” Adding to that draw is the fact that it will also be the final playing visit to Ashland for several Hampden-Sydney players who have local high school connections. Seniors Kirk Rohle and Ben Rogers are former Hanover Hawks as are Kenny Fryman and Steven Fogleman who are juniors and will not play again at R-MC because of the alternating schedule. The same holds true for Atlee alums John Michael Sparagna and Tyler White. Eleven other HSC juniors and seniors from the Richmond area will also be making their final trip in Ashland. —Charlie Leffler
in the game. Cosby did not let up, and took advantage of a later Hanover penalty to tie the game on Marissa Hanks’ goal with 18:12 left. After that, it was a scramble. Hanover desperately fought off Cosby’s shots, but as time ran out pressed forward toward Cosby’s net. With 1:56 left, Moore worked her way through the Titans’ defense and found an opening. The sound of the ball hitting wood in the back of the goal sent Hanover’s team and fans jumping up and shouting. “When you get hit, you go back and hit them back,” Bottorff said. “That’s what we did, and that was enough to get us the win.” Moore’s performance earned some well deserved praise from her coach. “She’s been a three-year varsity player for us,” Bottorff said. “She’s just done a great job of getting in there and really attacking, putting the ball in the

Through eight games this season, Naccarato is averaging 210.8 yards per game, has thrown 12 touchdowns and has a 156.17 efficiency rating, which ranks him second in the ODAC between two seniors, Washington & Lee’s Charlie Westfal and Hampden-Sydney’s Travis Lane. Naccarato is also fifth in total offense and passing per game. Naccarato’s best performance came in a 51-34 win at Catholic. On the day the freshman was 25-of-31 for 372 yards and four touchdowns.

That has more to do with his success than anything else.” This Saturday, Naccarato closes out his freshman season in what is always the Yellow Jackets biggest game when they play host to Hampden-Sydney. He looks forward to playing in a crazed, no-holds-barred, fan packed environment. “It will be a fun game to be a part of that’s for sure,” he said.

Randolph-Macon outlasts Bridgewater 51-36 Contributed report BRIDGEWATER, VA – Thaddeus Scruggs ran for 122 yards and three touchdowns to lead Randolph-Macon to a 51-36 ODAC road victory over Bridgewater College on Saturday. With the win, R-MC improves to 7-2 overall and 3-2 in league play. R-MC has now won seven games in back-toback years for the first time since the 1997 & 1998 seasons. Bridgewater falls to 5-4 on the season. Placekicker Josh Strom put R-MC up 3-0 on the first drive of the game with a 39-yard field goal.

Sanders capped the drive with a three yard run, pushing R-MC in front 17-0 with 1:28 left in the second quarter. BC used a 42-yard strike from Carols Gonzalez to Leigh Bradley to get on the board. The Eagles 2-point conversion failed, keeping the score at 176.

The career of best friends winds down at home Hanover duo Rohle & Rogers have been teammates for nearly two decades By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com When it comes to football, Hampden-Sydney running back Kirk Rohle and center Ben Rogers are almost like an old married couple. They carry the same objectives, know each others quirks and can anticipate what the other is thinking. The pair have remained together more than twice as long as the average marriage in the United States and they are now going into their 16th year as teammates. But for this pair, they know the end of their relationship as football players is quickly coming to a close. When the two seniors take the field at Randolph-Macon on Saturday they will have seen their football careers come full circle. Playing in the final regular season game of careers, Rohle and Rogers will be back home, close to where they began as Pee-Wee football players in Hanover County. “I’ve known him since I was five or six years old,” Rogers said. “I’ve known him since I was playing flag football” Rohle said. “Really we became friends there.” But the two became must tighter after Rohle’s family moved closer to Rural Point Elementary School. “I ended up moving right across the street from him (Rogers) and we just really became friends.” Their friendship off the field was bolstered by their work together on the field. From their earliest days of football, Rogers’ size seemed predestined to clear a path for Rohle’s success as a

Hampden-Sydney’s Kirk Rohle (9) and Ben Rogers (53) have been teammates since their early years of Pee-Wee football in Hanover County. This Saturday, the two will see their football careers come full circle as they play their final regular season game at Randolph-Macon’s Day Field.
ball carrier. “I just remember him, he was a lot bigger than the other guys and he was just so physical. You just didn’t see that much in Pee-Wee football,” Rohle said. “He would just demolish people. I just remember the first day of hitting. You’d see people line up, on their backs, flip over, run at each other and he would

just crush people.” Likewise, Rogers’ first football memory of Rohle comes from their days as 10-year-old Bluestar teammates. “Kirk moved from wingback to tailback for the championship game and carried the ball over 25 times for about 130 yards,” Rogers said. “We won 12-0 to finish an undefeated season with a record of 11-0.” The pair continued playing together through Middle School and went on to become standouts at Hanover High School. But it appeared Hanover might be the end of their time as team-
mates. Rohle was considering HampdenSydney while Rogers was set to accept a walkon slot at James Madison University. But Rogers’ arrangement with JMU fell through and he was unsure of his football future. He was still considering becoming a Duke when fate literally knocked on his door. H-SC head coach Marty Favret came to Hanover County to recruit Rohle but he got an unexpected suggestion from Kirk’s mother Amy. “I remember Amy Rohle saying, you’ve got to get Ben Rogers to come to Hampden-Sydney,” Favret said. Kirk laughs about the incident. “During my recruiting visit, Coach Favret came over to our house and he talked to us a little bit, gave us the full speech and then he goes, ‘What are the chances I walk over to Benjamin’s house and try to convince him to come to Hampden-Sydney?’ “My mom and dad were, ‘Yeah, go ahead, they’re eating dinner right now’,” Rohle said. “So it was kind of a surprise visit. He just shows up at
the door, goes in and sits down while they’re eating dinner and sure enough during the week, Benjamin’s talking to me about possibly going to HampdenSydney.” For Rogers, having Rohle at his side added to his college playing experience. “Obviously coming into college from high school it’s nice knowing somebody on the team,” he said. “Not just a friend but a teammate. It gives you somebody you can consistently look to; somebody that’s going to work hard for your team.” At H-SC the two have practically become legendary, not only in their play but their character. They are part of a senior class that has won two ODAC titles and with a win over Randolph-Macon this Saturday will move into a tie (36-4) as the class with the most career wins. “It’s almost hard to define,” Favret said. “The guys have been cornerstones since day one. I think their impact has kind of rippled. They’re guys that not only have helped us on the field but off the field in terms of popularity, in terms of other recruits, the other kids from Hanover that come here just because of their leadership and their see FRIENDS, pg. 43 `

presence. They’re kind of Hall of Fame type kids in my mind. “In both cases they’ve been great players and the reason we’ve won a lot of games here over the last four years,” Favret said. Part of that success comes from the fact they have played together for so long that they know what each other is thinking. “I know where he’s looking to run the ball and I kind of have a feel of him behind me,” Rogers said. “I know which way to push my guy…I know where he likes to run the ball and I know I can count on him to get a few extra yards if I mess up.” Every opponent knows that odds favor the ball will go to Rohle a majority of the time he is on the field. But despite having the defense set against him, through nine games this season Rohle is averaging 102.2 yards per game and 5.2 yards per carry mainly due to knowing Rogers’ blocking abilities so well. “I can tell what he’s going to do before the play starts,” Rohle said. “I can see where he’s going to move from just knowing the play and what he’s going

and the Jackets took a 24-6 lead into the locker room. BC opened up the second stanza scoring on a pass from Gonzalez to John Lezcano on its opening drive. But Scruggs pushed the RMC lead back to 17 with a 52yard scoring run to give the Jackets a 31-14 lead. The Eagles scored 21 unanswered points, pulling within three on a Gonzalez toss to Cassidy Burns with 9:44 to go. R-MC got the ball back and needed to just four plays to score on a 3-yard plunge by Scruggs for a 38-28 lead. Scruggs’ run was set up on a

It definitely effects where I’m going to run the ball because I’m going to follow someone I know is going to make the blocks.” With so much football history together, both know it will be an emotional day when they step onto Day Field in Ashland this Saturday. “That’s going to make it all that more memorable,” Rohle said. “I’m sure there’s going to be a ton of people I know from the area going to be there. In a way as much as I want a home game, I just love playing in Ashland just because of the atmosphere.” The Tigers celebrated their senior day this past Saturday at Hampden-Sydney, but the final trip to Hanover County will be a special moment. “Kirk and I are going to have so much family and so many friends at that game it’s going to be really cool,” Rogers said. “I feel like it’s a senior day versus Washington & Lee and a homecoming versus Macon. It will be fun.” Ben is the son of Becky and Todd Rogers. Kirk is the son of Amy and Ken Rohle. screen pass from quarterback Zac Naccarato. Bridgewater turned the ball over on downs on its next possession, giving RandolphMacon the ball back at the BC 37-yard line. Naccarato hit tight-end Zach Midulla on an 18-yard pass to set up a 22-yard touchdown run on a keeper for a 45-28 R-MC lead with five minutes to play. Naccarato finished the day 10-of-15 passing for 153 yards. Sanders complimented Scruggs’ effort with 94 yards via the ground as well.

By Nathan Madden Media General News Services HA M P DE N - SY DN EY — For the second time in three years, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference football title belongs to HampdenSydney College. The Tigers jumped out to a commanding halftime lead Saturday and withstood a second-half offensive barrage to outlast defending champion Washington and Lee 42-35. “Unbelievable,” said senior wide receiver Sean Cavanagh. “(Losing to W&L) last year was the worst feeling ever.” The Tigers dominated the first half behind an efficient offense and stifling defense. Sophomore tight end Eric Gorsline capped H-SC’s opening drive with a 29-yard TD reception from senior quarterback Travis Lane. Lane, a standout from Mills Godwin, finished 21 of 33 for 331 yards and four scores. Former Hanover star Kirk Rohle (21 carries, 101 yards) tackles and had a sack.

On Saturday, former Atlee standout Josh Doggett (42) had the biggest game of his young career as Hampden-Sydney beat Washington & Lee. Doggett got his first start in the game to decide the ODAC championship and the freshman linebacker finished with 10 tackles and a key interception, above, that set up a score.
punched in a pair of 1-yard TDs to put the Tigers up 21-0 at the half. Freshman Josh Doggett, a former Atlee standout who some said had Division I potential, intercepted Generals quarterback Charlie Westfal and ran 20 yards to set up Rohle’s second score. “I was supposed to be pass rushing,” said Doggett, who finished with 10 tackles in his first collegiate start. “But my linebacker instincts read pass and I knew I wasn’t going to get there, so I just jumped the out rout and was lucky enough to make the pick.” “I told him during the week he was our secret weapon,” Tigers coach Marty Favret said. “‘Dog’s going to be a star here and he made arguably one of the biggest plays of the game.” Hampden-Sydney (8-1, 5-0) continued to strike at will after the break, with Kyle Vance hauling in a 15-yard
scoring pass from Lane on the opening drive to put the Tigers up 28-0. But the Generals (8-2, 5-1) showed why they’re defending champions, scoring on their next five possessions. Despite being held to only four completions and 47 yards in the first 30 minutes, Westfal finished 16 of 34 for 243 yards and three scores, and he rushed for 73 yards and a score. “They got their rhythm,” Favret said. But Cavanagh (seven receptions, 131 yards) was one of many Tigers who helped disrupt the Generals’ late tempo. The former Clover Hill standout hauled in a critical 23-yard scoring pass with 14:47 remaining in the fourth quarter after the Generals posted two consecutive TDs. “Whenever you catch a long ball, I feel like it’s a turning point,” Cavanagh said.

But the conversion almost didn’t happen. “(Coach) actually made the same call twice in a row,” Cavanagh said. “First one got busted. I really appreciate Coach sticking with it, that was a big time.” Nathan Madden is a staff writer for the Richmond Times Dispatch.
