Crosby retiring, named chief in Myrtle Beach By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com

Fred Crosby has accepted the fire rescue chief position in Horry County, S.C. He is retiring as Hanover County Fire/EMS chief.

This evening’s agenda of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors will include filling a key position — at least in an interim capacity. Fire/EMS Chief Fred Crosby will officially submit his plans to retire during the 6 p.m. meeting. On Tuesday, Oct. 16, the Horry County (S.C.) Council announced Crosby has been hired as chief of Horry County Fire Rescue. More than 50 can-

“This was honestly about the toughest decision I’ve ever made in my life.” FRED CROSBY Hanover Fire/EMS chief

didates had applied for the position. Crosby, who will be relocating to the Myrtle Beach area, told The Local on Thursday that “I am retiring. I am not

leaving Hanover to take another job. I would have retired in the next year anyway.” His firefighting career started in 1979 in Chesterfield County, which, he said, “was kind enough to hire me as a firefighter seven years before Mike Harmon hired me up here in Hanover. He [Harmon] was the fire chief before me.” “It’s time for me to retire out of this system [Virginia Retirement System],” he added. see CHIEF, pg. 4

Economic development office gets website award The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) has recognized Hanover County Economic Development with a Silver Excellence in Economic Development Award for its website in the category of General Purpose Website for communities with populations of 25,000 to 200,000. Rick Whittington Consultants created and designed the new site. The honor was presented on Oct. 2 during an awards ceremony at the IEDC Annual Conference, which was held Sept. 30 through Oct. 3 in Houston, Texas. “We recognize Hanover County (Virginia) Economic Development for creating innovative and successful strategies to promote economic development in this period of global recov-

He said he would have been leaving “at the latest in December of next year.” The South Carolina position, he said, is “an opportunity for a retirement career.” He did emphasize that “I love Hanover.” Leaving Hanover County and the chief ’s position did not come easy for the long-time firefighter. “This was honestly about the toughest decision I’ve ever made in my life.” He talked about the love he has for home he has here and the community. “I love the people I work for and with,” he said. “It’s just the right time,” Crosby said about his retirement. With that plan already in place, he said the Horry County offer is “a great opportunity for our family. I love fire and EMS. It just seemed to fall into place,” he said about the new job and move. “There’s a great sadness in leaving Hanover and leaving a great group of guys and girls in the Fire/EMS Department,” he said. Crosby also expressed his

ery,” Jay Moon, IEDC chair, said. “Our awards honor organizations and individuals for their efforts in creating positive change in communities. Hanover County (Virginia) Economic Development demonstrates that they are at the forefront of the economic development profession and are using cutting-edge, effective practices that can be replicated in other communities.” The Hanover County Economic Development provides business development, attraction and

appreciation for the working relationship he has had with the Sheriff ’s Office and Col. David R. Hines, as well as the Board of Supervisors, County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. and Assistant County Administrator Jim Taylor. “This has been the defining part of my life and the greatest part of my life,” Crosby continued. “There’s a certain amount of sadness.” “I would really love to thank everybody — the community, the board [of supervisors] for giving me this opportunity and the honor that it really has been to be part of this great place,” he said. His last day in the Hanover County office will be Nov. 14 and he assumes the Horry County responsibilities on Nov. 15. As chief of Hanover County Fire/EMS, Crosby has supervised 152 employees and about 1,000 volunteers. Crosby had informed Harris about his retirement plans on Oct. 16. “We’re sorry to see Fred go,” Harris said last Wednesday. “It’s certainly bittersweet from our standpoint. Fred’s been a great member of our leadership team and has really helped move the fire department to the modern

era.” G. Ed Via III, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said, “I thank Fred for his years of service to Hanover County and wish him well.” Crosby, a Mechanicsville resident, is a graduate of Henrico High School and the University of Richmond. Myrtle Beach has been a favorite destination for Crosby and his family. His in-laws, Joe and Madeline Neagle of Mechanicsville, have a beach house there. “We’ve been going down there 20 years,” Crosby said. “It’s an area we love and it was always a dream to live at the beach.” Crosby said his wife, Mary Theresa, is “excited. She loves the Myrtle Beach area. She loves it here.” He said the new employment opportunity will provide them “a chance to be down there for awhile in the sun and at the beach, and it ought to be a lot of fun.” The Crosbys have four daughters: Megan, a junior at James Madison University; Teresa Ann, a senior at Atlee High School; and Rhiannon and Cristin, students at Washington-Henry Elementary School.

retention services for Hanover County. In March 2012, the county, with Rick Whittington Consultants, completed a website redesign. The new website tempers data and facts with compelling copy and visual elements that add a human touch and give a distinct local flavor. Profiles of local businesses in the target industries and custom photography of actual managers in their environments provide living proof of the diversity and success of Hanover’s business community. New features include seamless integration with the county GIS system; a map room with the option to download/save copies of each map; a custom, searchable real estate directory; a cus-

tom, searchable business database; and a news publishing system. The website also is described as responsive by automatically scaling to fit screen sizes, ranging from a large TV monitor to a laptop or desktop computer to a tablet to a smartphone, making the website readable and usable on any device. IEDC’s Excellence in Economic Development Awards recognizes the world’s best economic development programs and partnerships, marketing materials and the year’s most influential leaders. These awards honor organizations and individuals for their efforts in creating positive change in urban, suburban and rural communities.

From the editor

Vote: a little word with a big impact As Nov. 6 approaches and the phone continues to ring off the hook with whatever political group seeking input, the bottom line is that we are the answer. Better yet, we hold the solution. And that is going to the polls and casting our votes for the candidates of our choice. Whatever the driving force is behind your decisions — philosophies, personal convictions, political preferences — only you can take control on election day. But you have to make the effort. And that means vote. Yes, it’s a little word with a big impact. Today’s technology has provided outlets that have inundated us with correspondence from the candidates for president, U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives and their supporters, including financial backers, celebrities, volunteers, family members — you get the idea. While some are quick to attack the media, we as voters and citizens have to be responsible to research, study and pursue the ideologies being thrown at us. Don’t be swayed by others. Become informed — and that doesn’t mean taking a social media friend’s post as the gospel in politics. My political stand is just that: mine. I don’t share or discuss my particular leanings, and that’s how it should be in this business. I have always been a strong supporter of voting. My parents instilled that mindset in my sister and me. It is a responsibility and a privilege I have always held in high regard and respected. Do we all agree? Based on some of the letters we receive, and common sense, the answer is no. But we all have the right to express our opinions by voting. You can expect more along these lines in this space next week, because the most effective step you can take in ensuring whatever government you prefer is to make the time to head to your precinct and participate. Low voter turnout and apathy place an ugly blemish on a valued part of our society. Be a part of the solution: Go vote on Nov. 6. Melody Kinser

VP debate recap: performance and serious behavior rated On Thursday, Oct. 11, I thought I was going to watch a debate between two adults that had been raised properly and knew how to behave in a polite manner. That is not what I was presented with. When the Vice President was given the first question his opponent listened carefully, took notes and had a serious look on his face. When it was his turn to address the question, the split screen showed the Vice President mugging to the camera like a 5-year-old that sneaked a look at his teenage sister kissing a boy. This was bad enough but through the entire so-called debate the Vice President would wait until his opponent was about to make a strong point and then start talking loud enough that no one could understand what either one was saying. The moderator never took charge and allowed the Vice President to get away with hyena-interrupting attack at least 80 percent of the time his opponent had the floor. I am sure thinking Americans should recognize when a debater has a weak record to defend his defense is to disrupt. I sure was surprised to hear our armed forces, most all retirees and the Vice President’s poor old mother on social security was a large part of Mr. Romney’s 47 percent. One doesn’t have to dwell on it to see who takes the state of our nation seriously. William R. Vial Mechanicsville

Biden’s unprofessional debate manner overwhelming I tried to watch the debate, but [Vice President Joe] Biden’s unprofessional manner was overwhelming. It appeared someone might have slipped him a “happy pill.” A few years ago I read this car window sign, “I smile because I have no idea what is going on.” Maybe we should take this same “Happy Pill,” ignore the crisis we are in, and smile all the way to our demise. Gwen Heath Mechanicsville

Election choices and our nation’s status Within a few short weeks one of the most important elections in the history of our country will take place. Either

we will re-elect a totally incompetent Marxist president or we will decide to drastically change course and bring our country back from the brink of disaster. While our embassies in the Middle East are being attacked, our diplomats are being murdered, and Iran is threatening to annihilate our good friend Israel once they get the bomb, our President is apologizing to the adherents of the murderous religion that produced these killers and rioters. And he has time to appear on David Letterman and the liberal “View” but no time to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other world leaders in order to try and calm down the flaming Middle East. What a disastrous foreign policy he has produced and yet the more he screws up, the more he lies and the more he embarrasses our country, the higher he rises in the polls. I just don’t get it. I shake my head in bewilderment. How could a country that once elected great presidents like George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan stoop so low to elect a radical liberal like Barack Hussein Obama? For you the people who still plan to vote for this guy after all the damage you have seen him do to our country, shame on you! For the women who think that he is your friend, wake up! He is your worst enemy. Because of his disastrous financial policies, hundreds of thousands of women have lost their jobs. He is trying to wreck their good healthcare system and is trying to destroy their families through his support of same-sex marriage and abortion, which, by the way, has destroyed millions of potential productive women through this murderous practice of abortion. Many of the women who have aborted their babies will live lives of regret after realizing the tragic mistake they made in killing their own babies.

Supervisors see economic light at end of 5-year tunnel

Capturing your health one picture at a time Featuring Mammography and Bone Density Services Free Gift to anyone receiving a mammogram in month of October!

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Hanover County appears to be in the final stages of an economic downturn that is entering its fifth year. The Board of Supervisors got the semi-good news at the Oct. 10 regular meeting. Planning director David Maloney presented an annual report on 2012’s community development for the board’s consideration, a mixed bag of results with no dramatic increases or decreases. Growth rates have continued to fall slightly below the 1.5 and 2.5 percent targeted rate in 2012, but the trend is reversing. �The rate of decline has decreased dramatically,� Maloney said. Regarding new home sales, there was an increase in housing costing more MALONEY than $400,000. Values for existing homes priced between $200,000 and 400,000 have increased. “We did see an increase in proffer revenues in 2012,� Maloney said.

Commercial real estate receipts are on the rise. “We are seeing continuation of interest in the commercial area,� Maloney said. Total revenues for recycling continue to increase, and the number of based airplanes at Hanover Airport has declined slightly. Fuel sales have declined since 2009,� Maloney said. “Fuel sales have dramatically decreased and there’s no relief in sight,� Henry District supervisor Sean Davis said, referring to the decreased numbers at the airport. There also were declines in new utility customers and water usage. Building inspections were up in the residential sector, but down slightly in the commercial area. “I think what we are seeing is a stabilization of the construction industry,� Maloney said.

its citizens. “We are providing a broad spectrum of housing from a pricing standpoint,� he said. “We do have diversified healthy stock of housing,� said Maloney. Economic Development director Edwin Gaskin provided an economic development report for 2012 and the news is, in his words, stable. Gaskin said overall job creation in the county was slightly up but many Hanoverians still travel to other counties for employment. “We added 389 new jobs. We can do better. “One of our primary goals is to grow jobs here. We currently have about four jobs for every five Hanover workers,� Gaskin said. Hanover’s current rate of unemployment is about 5.5 percent, well below the national and state level, but Gaskin said increasing federal debt could affect those numbers. Weekly wage figures were slightly up in 2012 and the number of existing firms increased by 17 over 2011 figures. On another positive note, prospect business visits were up from 2011. “Economic development is more than just jobs,� Gaskin said.� It looks like we’re heading in the right direction and we

can’t wait to leave where we’ve been,� he added. “None of this should depress us. It should excite us,� Gaskin said. The average wage in Hanover County was $37,848, admittedly lower than targeted. Gaskin said the county welcomes all jobs, but attracting higher paying positions is a goal for his office. Tourism in the county is

slightly down and more than 22,000 visitors passed through county visitor centers last year. “There are economic challenges facing us, but we can meet them,� Gaskin said. Covenant Woods is growing again. Since arriving in Hanover in 2001, the complex has almost doubled in size, and is now ready for another major step in its evolution with an expansion that includes more

housing units and various renovations. The parent company was seeking the county’s approval to issue bonds to fund the proposed improvements. “Covenant Woods is one of the most active retirement communities I’ve ever seen,� said Mechanicsville District supervisor Canova Peterson. The supervisors unanimously approved the request.

Ride for Independence Motorcycle Rally will begin with 9:30 a.m. registration on Saturday, Oct. 27, at the Steel Horse Harley-Davidson store in Midlothian

Lions support RBBL Photo submitted by Eugene Truitt

The Mechanicsville Lions Club recently heard a presentation by George Dolan, secretary of the Richmond Blind Bowling Association. Dolan said the RBBL started in 1960 with four visionimpaired persons. The league provides the opportunity for recreation and social activities for visionimpaired persons. The league currently has six teams that participate in a 30-week league. Members bowl at the AMF Sunset Lanes. Dolan told of his first bowling game with the league. He said his first ball was a left hand gutter ball and the second was a right hand gutter ball. After establishing the boundaries, he said his game has improved. In addition to weekly games, the members also participate in other Blind Bowling Tournaments. The Mechanicsville Lions Club has supported the RBBL since 1991. This is just one program that the Lions Club supports within the community. For other information concerning the Lions Club, contact Eugene Truitt, president, at 804-7464734.

The Hanover County School Board recently recognized the members of the 2012-2018 Long-Range Plan Committee during their monthly meeting. The 2012-2018 Long-Range Plan for Hanover County Public Schools was developed as the result of a detailed process involving nearly 80 members of the community and school staff. In early 2012, the LongRange Planning and Action Teams worked diligently over a three-month period to develop the school division’s vision and mission statements, beliefs, parameters, goals and objectives. The purpose of the document is to clearly define a foundation and a path to achieve the specific goals. The document can be viewed at www.hcps.us.

From domination to disappointment in 3 OTs Lee-Davis controls everything but final score against No. 4 Highland Springs By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local The ending of the Capital District contest between LeeDavis and Highland Springs may have been as the prognosticators predicted, but the way it came about was a complete shock. Lee-Davis fought the Springers through regulation and two overtimes before succumbing in the third overtime 19-16 Friday night at Highland Springs. Of course, for the Springers –ranked No. 4 in the TimesDispatch poll – the score is the most important measure of success, but the other measures are somewhat stunning. The Confederates dominated nearly every phase of the game, leading in total offense, 213 yards to 94 yards; rushing yards, 169 to 22; and first downs, 13 to 5. Lee-Davis running back Chris Simpson alone finished with 45 carries for 165 yards. “I think we played well. We were able to capitalize on being able to execute and run the football,” said Lee-Davis coach Zac Hayden. “That’s our thing – run the ball and make plays when we have the opportunity.”

At right: Lee-Davis senior running back Chris Simpson, center, bursts through a hole created by junior Andy Ordaz (62) and senior Zach Edgett (2). Simpson finished the night with 165 yards on 45 carries.

Highland Springs’ quarterback D.J. Johnson, who finished with 72 yards passing and just 4 yards rushing, felt he might have mis-measured the Confederates. “I pretty much underestimated that team,” Johnson said. “I took them for granted.” But Coach Loren Johnson said overconfidence was not the problem. “I don’t think we underestimated them,” Loren Johnson said. “They came with a great game plan. They played great football, and they’re a great football team. … We knew it was going to be a tough battle.” The Highland Springs team that had gone undefeated the

first six games of the season, seemed AWOL in the first half. The Springers (7-0, 4-0 Capital) managed only nine yards total offense in the first 24 minutes. Their only first down resulted from a facemask penalty against Lee-Davis. “It was a shock to us that we couldn’t move the ball,” Loren Johnson said. The Confederates, however, played like a team with something to prove. Even though their first four drives were scoreless, they picked up 105 yards total offense in the first half – most of it came from Simpson with 21 carries for 71 yards. After backing the Springers to their 6-yard line, Lee-Davis

(4-3, 2-2) took advantage of Mark Reisenweaver’s interception of a D.J. Johnson. Starting on Highland Springs’ 10-yard line they took three plays to cross the goal line on a 2-yard run by Deshaun Rogers with 3:00 left in the first half. Steven Hall’s kick made it 7-0. D.J. Johnson said his coach told them to “pick it up” at halftime, and the Springers did, putting together a 7-minute, 53yard drive at the beginning of the third quarter. The possession produced their first score, on a 7-yard pass from Johnson to Markeith Jackson with 4:50 left in the quarter. Ryan Buzzard’s point-after tied the game. After forcing Lee-Davis to punt on the next drive, Marcus

Taylor returned the punt 69 yards for another score less than two minutes later, but this time Buzzard’s point-after attempt was blocked by the Confederate special teams. Lee-Davis was determined to fight back, responding with a 66yard drive, capped by a 9-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Sulser to Jordon Prentiss. Hall’s point-after attempt was likewise blocked, setting up the overtime play. “I can’t believe we’re going into overtime with Lee-Davis,” D.J. Johnson said he thought as regulation time ran out. “We played like trash in the first half – but [Lee-Davis is] a pretty good football team. … They’re a real good football team.”

In the third overtime, LeeDavis went first, advancing from the 10-yard line to the 2. On fourth down, Hall kicked a 20-yard field goal to send the Confederates ahead. But Highland Springs’ Roy Adams responded with a 9-yard run to set up a second-and1, and on the next play D.J. Johnson crossed the goal line to end the game. Hayden told his players to “Hold your head up,” after the game, and told the Confederates that they could play with any of the teams remaining on their schedule. While he said he could not have asked for a better game, there was one thing he wished for. see C-FEDS, pg. 45 `


Yellow Jackets to host Spiders in basketball exhibition Two most successful programs in Virginia will face off in preseason game Contributed report In celebration of 100 years of basketball at both institutions, Randolph-Macon College and the University of Richmond announced that a Men’s Basketball Exhibition game will take place between the two schools in Ashland on November 3. Game time is set for 7 p.m. in R-MC’s Crenshaw Gymnasium. A public sale of tickets will begin on Wednesday, October 24. Tickets are 10 dollars and can be purchased at the main athletics office in Crenshaw Gym from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. “This is an amazing opportunity for our basketball pro-

We are honored and excited that he is willing to bring his Spider basketball team to Crenshaw Gymnasium.” Two of the most successful programs in the history of the Commonwealth, R-MC and UR are both celebrating 100 years of basketball in 2012-13. The two programs met 80 times between 1914 and 1983 when R-MC was a member of Division II. The Spiders won 61 of those 80 meetings.

VHSL’s plan survives vote By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times Dispatch A motion to overturn the Virginia High School League’s new plan for six classifications failed, the VHSL said, opening the way for sweeping changes to high school athletics in the state. Last month, the VHSL’s executive committee voted 23-3 to double the current number of classifications from three to six. The plan found favor with many of the state’s small schools. But the larger ones in the Central, Eastern and Northern regions were against it. Last Tuesday in Charlottesville, Group AAA, the largest of the current three classifications, voted 78-40 to overturn the new system. The motion then went to the entire VHSL membership

and needed a two-thirds vote to pass. But it came nowhere close to approval. Schools voted 189-110 to keep the new six-classification system. This was the final roadblock for implementation of the plan in September 2013. Schools will be rushed to determine finance structures, leadership and playoffs in the new regions and divisions. The Central Region will cease to exist. Instead, schools that currently are in the Central Region will split into five divisions based on enrollment. Those divisions will pursue separate championships. While disparities in enrollment will be eliminated, travel will increase and many of the biggest games in the area will cease to exist.

R-MC falters on both sides of the ball in 38-35 loss Porous defense and inefficient offense allow Guilford to escape with win By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Throughout the early season, Randolph-Macon football coach Pedro Arruza has repeatedly voiced his concerns over the inefficient play of his football team. Though the Yellow Jackets were winning games, Arruza felt that eventually lapses were going to end up costing R-MC games. On Saturday, Arruza’s fears came to fruition. The Yellow Jacket defense proved unable to slow Guilford while the normally potent offense faltered in its ability to keep pace as the Quakers came away with a 3835 win in Ashland. Guilford rolled up 565 yards of offense in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference matchup. A majority of the yardage came from three players. Freshman quarterback Matt Pawlowski turned in a 24-of-37 performance for 354 yards passing. Wide receiver Adam Smith had nine receptions for 187 yards and running back Mike Williams had 17 carries for 120 yards. After a first half where neither defense was able to stop their opponent, R-MC opened, what appeared to be, a comfortable 14 point lead in the third quarter. But Guilford (4-3, 3-1 ODAC) scored 17 unanswered points over the final 15:29 of play to hand the Yellow Jackets (4-3, 2-2) their second consecutive loss. “We didn’t play well today,” Arruza said. “I’ll be honest with you though, I think we had a chance to put them away offensively a couple of times, we didn’t do it. I didn’t get great play out of the quarterback position

today and that hurt a lot.” Guilford pulled ahead 38-35 on a 12-yard touchdown pass from Pawlowski to Smith with 2:02 remaining in the game but R-MC still had a chance to pull out the win. The Yellow Jackets got the ball back on their own 28 with 1:56 to play and quickly moved to midfield but the drive stalled. Running back Will McGhee (27 carries for 158 yards) was dropped for a two-yard loss. On a second and 12 play, quarterback Zac Naccarato rolled to his left to find a wide open Dan Crouch; Naccarato short-armed the pass into the turf. On third and 12, Naccarato connected with Luke Sellers for an 11-yard gain leaving the Yellow Jackets short of a first down. Going for it on fourth and one, wide receiver Christian Cook made the reception but was one foot short of the marker, giving the ball back to Guilford to run out the clock. “I just don’t think our guy

got deep enough,” Arruza said. “We needed a first down and I thought we should have got it on the one before that.” Neither defense had much to be proud of in the first half. The Yellow Jackets got an early eye-opener when Pawlowki went deep to a wide open Smith for a 65-yard touchdown on the first offensive play of the game, giving the Quakers a 7-0 lead 17 seconds into the contest. R-MC answered with a 19-yard touchdown pass from Naccarato to Terry Clark. On the ensuing possession, it took only five plays for Guilford to reach the Jackets’ 8yard line before R-MC cornerback Brandon Harrison made the first of two big defensive plays on the day. On a rushing play around the left side, Smith turned the corner at the 9-yard line and appeared to have a path to score when R-MC defensive tackle Ian Candelaria punched the ball loose. Harrison scooped the ball

up and returned it 91-yards to give the Yellow Jackets a 14-7 lead. “The D-line made a great play and I was in the right spot at the right time,” Harrison said. “We work on that skill every day, scoop and score, so technique just played into that, just like practice.” It took Guilford only 2:26 to cover 70 yards on six plays to retie the score, capped by a 30-yard touchdown run from Joe Able. Guilford then got the ball back when Naccarato’s pass was tipped and intercepted by Hunter English at the 31-yard line. Nine plays later Pawlowski connected with Daniel Woodruff on a 22yard touchdown pass to give the Quakers a 21-14 lead. The Guilford defense then forced R-MC into a three and out and the first punt of the day. Tracy Murden booted the ball 41-yards down field where the Quakers’ JerMario Gooch muffed the catch. In an attempt to regain possession he fumbled

allowing R-MC to recover the ball on the 31-yard line. Seven plays later McGhee knotted the game at 21 on a 1-yard run. Neither team was able to pick up a first down on the two ensuing possessions but Guilford looked as if they would retake the lead heading into the locker room on a 22-yard field goal from Tyler Hunt, but Harrison swept around the left side to get a clean block on the kick. “We practice that stuff all the time,” Harrison said. “We’re really good on special teams. I was just doing my job.” In the second half, the Yellow Jackets appeared to finally get a handle on things as the defense repeatedly stopped Guilford allowing the offense to pull ahead 35-21 on a pair of Naccarato touchdown passes;

46 yards to Vance Hendren and 8 yards to Zach Midulla. “They were playing a lot of man coverage,” Arruza said. “We hit a couple of screens. I think that helped us. We had a two touchdown cushion.” But Guilford’s offense got back on track in the closing seconds of the third when Pawlowski connected with Trey Billian for a 7-yard touchdown. The Quakers then opened the fourth quarter with a 31yard field goal by Hunt to pull within four, 35-31 and the next two Jackets possessions stalled. Guilford got the ball back with three minutes remaining and took only four plays and 1:05 to cover 68 yards to retake the lead. Pawlowski hit Smith for a 7-yard gain, Williams for 22, Smith again for 27 and see JACKETS, pg. 47 `


Confederate field hockey edges Hawks on strokes, 3-2 Lee-Davis heads into district tourney on a roll By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Last Wednesday, the regular season of the Hanover and Lee-Davis field hockey teams came down to strokes. Twice, the Hawks went ahead. Twice, the Confederates tied it up. After a Hanover miss in sudden death, however, Lee-Davis co-captain Cameron Gibson fired a shot just under a leaping Hanover keeper Bailey Lien to give the Confederates the 0-0 (3-2) win. “It was a very tough game,” said Lee-Davis coach Courtney Jones. “Hanover brought some great competition. … It’s great when you can play teams that bring that level of competition.” For Lee-Davis (11-4, 10-1 Capital), the stakes were low as the Confederates had already clinched the Capital District regular season title. Hanover (8-8, 8-4), on the other hand, ended the season in a threeway tie with Atlee and Henrico for second place in the district standings. A drawing was held Friday night to determine the second, third and fourth seeds in the Capital District tournament this

Smith once more for the final 12 yards. “The quarterback made some plays that were very impressive,” Arruza said. “He probably played a little bit better than our quarterback.” Candelaria made no excuses for the Yellow Jacket defense. “We all watched it on film, practiced it all week, we just didn’t get the job done out there today,” he said. “Just mistakes

week. Hanover will be second, followed by Henrico and Atlee. Lee-Davis and Atlee will meet in one semifinal, while Hanover and Henrico will meet in the other. Both games begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the SportsQuest complex in Chesterfield County. The final will be held Thursday at 7 p.m., also at SportsQuest. While Lee-Davis has already clinched a berth in the Central Region tournament, the Capital District tournament has something special to offer the winner. “The tournament gets the trophy,” said defending champion, Hanover coach Sarah Bottorff. “We’re not giving it back yet.”

Hanover and Lee-Davis played through regulation and one sudden-death overtime without scoring. Both teams had opportunities to score, but solid defense by both teams blunted every attack. Lee-Davis had more cause for frustration, with 17 shots on goal to just five for the Hawks. “These girls apparently like to play under pressure. They’ve proven it on several occasions throughout this regular season,” Jones said of her team. “But we played with heart, and it showed down to that very last goal.” Gibson, a junior, explained the Confederates’ modus ope-

randi. “We came into it knowing we didn’t have to win to stay on top,” said Gibson. “When we know we don’t have to do something, we tend to relax until the last second – that stresses us out a lot. It was rough.” After the first overtime period, the teams prepared to settle the matter with the one-on-one of penalty strokes. Hanover and Lee-Davis alternated shots, with the Hawks shooting first. Neither team scored on its first four opportunities during the first round of strokes – a best of five round. Hanover’s Michelle Knizner finally broke

here and there. Guys knew what they were doing, just sometimes weren’t in the right place.” Despite falling to ODAC leader Washington & Lee last week, R-MC was in perfect position to get back into the hunt after the Generals were knocked off by Bridgewater earlier on Saturday. Now with two ODAC losses, the chance of a league championship for the Yellow Jackets is remote. “All you can do is win out and hope that something falls in our favor,” Harrison said.

Arruza’s focus is only getting his team to play better. “I would say that our best thing right now it just to try to finish out the year strong and play hard and get better,” he said. This Saturday, R-MC travels to Shenandoah for a 1 p.m. matchup. Though winless in ODAC play, Shenandoah made Hampden-Sydney fight for a win this past Saturday. “There aren’t any easy games in this league,” Arruza said. “I’ve been telling our guys that. It’s hard winning games.

Everybody’s league.”

The team that held the advantage after both teams had their shot would win. Laura Blunt took the first shot for the Hawks and made it. Amanda Loving, a sophomore, took the next shot for Lee-Davis. She made it. Hanover missed its next shot, and Gibson stepped up again. “At that point I knew if I scored it was all over,” Gibson said. “I couldn’t let that get to me.
