Eminent domain on ballot By Emily Darrell Richmond Suburban News

Eminent domain – the seizing of private land by a government for public use, with compensation to the landowner – is an area of government and law that even lawyers and politicians will say is often complex, generally complicated, and always controversial. On Tuesday, Nov. 6, Virginians will get the chance to vote on an amendment to the state constitution that will make changes to the eminent domain law.

Vi rg i n i a , like many other states, was spurred to review its eminent domain legislation in 2005, when a U.S. Supreme Court decision – Kelo v. City of New London – made national headlines. In the case, a homeowner named Susanne Kelo sued

her Connecticut city – a city that had been in economic decline for decades – after it seized her home to make way for a Pfizer chemical plant on the grounds that the plant would stimulate the local economy and provide jobs, thus serving the greater good. Ultimately, the Pfizer project fell through, with Kelo and her neighbors having been forced from their homes for nothing, and the Supreme Court’s decision was widely unpopular with both liberals and

Trio found guilty in Wells’ death By Bill McKelway Richmond Times-Dispatch The grief over young lives lost spread last week from a beloved Atlee High School student shot down during a drug deal in January to the three young men behind the fatal shooting. On Tuesday, Oct. 23, verdicts from retired substitute Richmond Circuit Judge Walter W. Stout III found each of the three guilty of five charges, two of which carry life terms,

for conspiring to rob and then shooting to death Brett Wells, a lanky, church-going 16-yearold who led a double life as a drug dealer working from his family’s home. Stout, separately addressing the defendants as they stood before him after a two-day bench trial, convicted them of first-degree felony murder in the commission of an attempted robbery; two firearms charges; a charge of conspiracy to rob; and of a charge of aggravated mali-

cious wounding. The verdicts brought wails of anguish from the families of the three defendants and nearly simultaneous sobs of grief from family and friends of Wells, an Atlee student who was shot through the heart and spinal cord with a 9 mm semiautomatic pistol the night of Jan. 21. Wells, 6 feet tall and weighing 186 pounds, bled to death from the single gunshot wound. His body was discovered beside see GUILTY, pg. 26

From the editor

Now it’s up to you: Get out and vote We have been bombarded with election coverage unlike most in this writer’s lifetime. Not to say that it’s a bad thing, but here’s one voter who is ready to go to the polls on Tuesday and voice my opinion in a truly American way. I won’t jump up and down and say who you should vote for, but I will encourage, urge, plead, beg and beseech you to take the time, make the time to go to your precinct and vote on your conscience. Your political affiliation isn’t the issue. The future of our country is. As was stated here last week, research the candidates and their philosophies. I could say I have a plan to create jobs, but I would need to be able to back it up with a proposal. Does your candidate have one? If you are satisfied with whatever promises are being made, then so be it. Who will deliver and how that candidate will bring our country back to the greatness it is known for on a global level is up to us. All it takes is being heard by being a part of the process. We can make a difference, but you have to be a part of the solution to realize any change. Of course, the hope on election day is always for sunny skies and decent temperatures, but we can’t control the climate. If at all possible, make your way to your polling place. Absentee voting options are available (as provided in today’s edition from the Hanover County Voter Registrar’s Office). Whatever you need to do, please get to the polls. This election is critical on so many levels. Never lose sight of the fact that this is our nation and only we can guide her in the direction we endorse. Polls in Hanover County will open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. We will keep you updated throughout the evening on our Facebook page — www.facebook.com/mechlocal — and post results on our website —- www.mechlocal.com — as soon as possible. Vote — that’s the word! Melody Kinser

Thank you for your editorial comments on the importance of voting which appeared in the Oct. 24, 2012, issue of The Local. It was well-stated. Thank you also for the challenge to become informed, and to vote. Sadly, there are many eligible voters who casually forfeit this basic privilege and responsibility, negating any voice in whatever form of government they might prefer. Perhaps your challenge will encourage more of us to express our opinion by voting. For any who may be apprehensive about the process, perhaps you will consider printing the names of the candidates as they appear and the wording of the eminent domain constitutional provision. Jack Raybourne Mechanicsville

Responding to letter (Editor’s note: The following was addressed to Raymond Germeroth in response to his letter to the editor in the Oct. 24, 2012, edition of The Local.) Mr. Germeroth, There you go again . . . as usual, your insidious remarks make the populous rise up in arms and sick to their stomach! Regarding your “the most important elections in our history” mentioned in the letters of Oct. 24, 2012, it makes me sick and in need of vomiting! The only reason that the Obama administration may seem “incompetent” is because of Republican obstructionism . . . dictated by Mitch McConnell (R-KY) when he said the day after Obama’s inauguration that, “Anything he (Obama) places before Congress is to be voted down.” Why?

Calling our president “Marxist” shows your total inept use of the word “Marxist.” To be sure; this type of rhetoric is treason . . . pure and simple! Additionally; your comment about our “embassies in the Middle East” shows your ignorance because these have been the target of Islamic attacks as far back in 1979 in Tehran! Nothing is new here. If you want to debate attacks on our interest, just remember the 9/11 attacks in New York City. There was nothing anyone could have done to predict the attacks in Benghazi that were conducted on the anniversary of 9/11. That type of issue will surface every year during 9/11. It’s no one’s fault. The Department of Defense does what it can to prevent such an attack. However, using the attack in a political arena for either side is dangerous and not really recommended. The issues regarding foreign policy in your letter are way above your comprehension. If you want to talk foreign policy think about Halliburton and “no-bid contracts” on a global scale (remember $90 hammers?). Dick Cheney came into the White House in 1975 as Gerald Ford’s Chief of Staff and for 33 years he and Don Rumsfeld contrived a military-industrial complex so vast it cannot be measured. Please go to the Internet and look at the link http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=_bqr5DVx3dw and see what the retiring Commanderin-Chief of Central European Command during World War II and the 34th president of the U.S. had to say about issues such as Dick Cheney and his own private military industrial complex. Ike [Eisenhower] did not care what anyone thought of his farewell address. He was about to be a “double-dipper” at the top levels of government. He didn’t care what anyone thought, so he told the truth.

Now if you elect Mitt Romney, he will bring Cheney back into the White House as the Foreign Relations Committee head. If you want to talk about a “disastrous foreign policy” then allow Romney to give Cheney full reign over everything global. Every nation on earth is scared to death because Romney may succeed and have Cheney back again. This would truly be disastrous! Many countries in Europe and Asia feel the same way. Then there’s Paul Ryan and his friend Todd Akin. These two idiots want to roll back Roe v. Wade. This would take us back to the back-alley abortions that forced Roe v. Wade in the first place. You said in your op-ed that “women need to “wake up.” I tell you that if any woman votes for Romney, that would be like a chicken voting for Colonel Sanders! I do not like abortion. I think it is a violent way to end pregnancies. But neither you nor anyone else has the right to tell a woman what to do with her own body. That decision is between the women, their doctor, their family and Jesus Christ! Period. Not you or any elected member of government! Ryan and Akin would take this away. This would be the epitome of “government intervention into the most private part of a family’s life.” Imagine “If it’s a legitimate rape, then the body has ways of dealing with the pregnancy!” (Todd Akin) And “That horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen!” (Richard Mourdock) These two comments are not only disgusting but would lead anyone thinking about coming to Christ to fall away in total disbelief! And these are two individuals are running for their district’s seats in Congress! Reminds me of Nazis! Then, there are your comsee LETTERS, pg. 19

Hanover Tavern unveils Civil War exhibit By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local anover Tavern recently unveiled a new Civil War exhibit at the courthouse landmark that adds another dimension to the Civil War Sesquicentennial Celebration. An American Turning Point: The Civil War in Virginia is a traveling exhibit that examines the peoples and communities most affected the struggle.

Women, free and enslaved African Americans, Unionists and children are featured in the full-size panels. Each panel tells a unique story and visitors can expand on that vignette by accessing a companion website via your smartphone. “You can see more photographs and get more information on that specific item. It should enhance the experience,” Deal said. The exhibit covers two rooms on

Article I. Bill of Rights. Section 11. Due process of law; obligation of contracts; taking of private property; prohibited discrimination; jury trial in civil cases.

Ballot Question Shall Section 11 of Article I (Bill of Rights) of the Constitution of Virginia be amended (i) to require that eminent domain only be exercised where the property taken or damaged is for public use and, except for utilities or the elimination of a public nuisance, not where the primary use is for private gain, private benefit, private enterprise, increasing jobs, increasing tax revenue, or economic development; (ii) to define what is included in just compensation for such taking or damaging of property; and (iii) to prohibit the taking or damaging of more private property than is necessary for the public use?

Explanation Current Constitution and Background Article I, Section 11 of the current Constitution prohibits the taking or damaging of private property for public uses without just compensation. The power to take private property for public uses is known as the power of eminent domain. If a private property owner and the entity acquiring property for a public use cannot agree on the sale of the property, the property may be taken by eminent domain and the amount of just compensation is decided in a court proceeding. In a 2005 case from Connecticut, the United States Supreme Court upheld the taking of private property and its transfer to a private business for economic development purposes and also said that states could restrict the use of eminent domain (Kelo v. City of New London, 545 U.S. 469).-Two years later, the Virginia General Assembly enacted ยง 1-219.1 of the Code of Virginia and set limits on the use of eminent domain powers. For example, ยง 1-219.1 provides that no more private property may be taken than is necessary for the stated public use, that the public interest for the taking must outweigh any private gain, and that private property cannot be taken for certain primary purposes such as increasing the tax base, revenues, or employment. Proposed Amendment The proposed constitutional amendment continues the approach and concepts set out in ยง 1-219.1. However, while limits in the Code can be amended by any future General Assembly, the proposed amendment, if approved by the voters, could only be changed by a future constitutional amendment approved by the voters. The proposed amendment includes the following:

Article I. Bill of Rights Section 11. Due process of law; obligation of contracts; taking or damaging of private property; prohibited discrimination; jury trial in civil cases. That no person shall be deprived of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law; that the General Assembly

That in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, trial by jury is preferable to any other, and ought to be held sacred. The General Assembly may limit the number of jurors for civil cases in courts of record to not less That the General Assembly shall pass no law whereby private property, the right to which is fundamental, shall be damaged or taken except for public use. No private property shall be damaged or taken for public use without just compensation to the owner thereof.

In all other cases, a taking or damaging of private property is not for public use enterprise, increasing jobs, increasing tax revenue, or economic development, except for the elimination of a public nuisance existing on the property. The condemnor bears the burden of proving that the use is public, without a presumption that it is.

Gospel from greats will fill the First Baptist Church of Ashland at 800 Thompson St. with divine sounds starting at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3. Award-winning veteran performer Bubba Johnson will be stage a show where he “Brings it Home!” And, he won’t be alone.

Music is a family tradition Johnson has been performing for at least 20 years and has been taking his show on the road since 2001. Described as a consummate musician, Johnson is a composer and performer. Reared in a Virginia family with deep gospel roots, he said, “Artists such as Thomas Dorsey, Rev. James Cleveland, and The Caravans sparked my desire to compose and arrange traditional gospel music.”

Embarking on a lifelong calling After years of singing in the choir, as a soloist or with a group, Johnson launched his recording career in November 2001. The tracks for his first CD, “Bubba & Company,” were cut at a live performance at the Mount Olivet Baptist Church in Montpelier. It opened new doors for the Gospel star. As Johnson said, “This was the first opportunity to truly showcase and arrange music. The project was supported by local artists and singing groups. Shortly thereafter, I formed the Omega

singers as a back-up group for recordings and engagements.” Johnson’s star was on the rise with engagements all over Virginia and he was attracting the attention of some of Gospel music’s celebrities. In fact, his second CD, “No Doubt in My Mind,” was recorded live at Richmond’s 5th Baptist Church in conjunction with Gospel music icon and evangelist Dorothy Norwood. Johnson has received accolades and awards for his performances of traditional Gospel music. Rave reviews also came from Gospel brunches done in conjunction with BCreative, an Ashland-based special events company, at The Ironhorse Restaurant in Ashland and at the Hanover Tavern. Johnson wowed audiences at the 61st Annual Meeting of the Southern Legislative Conference in Williamsburg and at a meeting The Canadian Society of Legislative Clerks.

Jumpstart’s premiere national campaign, Read for the Record, presented in partnership with the Pearson Foundation, is one day of the year when readers from across all 50 states come together to celebrate literacy and support Jumpstart in its efforts to promote early childhood education. This year’s Read for the Record selection, Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad by David Soman and Jacky Davis, was read throughout SAES in support of Jumpstart’s mission to work towards the day that every child in America enters school prepared to succeed. In Ladybug Girl and the Bug Squad, a girl named Lulu, otherwise known as Ladybug Girl, gathers her friends Bumblebee Boy, Dragonfly Girl and Butterfly Girl for some imaginary fun. Lulu and her friends learn about friendship, feelings and courage. In 2011, 2.2 million people participated in Jumpstart’s Read for the Record. At South Anna, each kindergarten class read the 2011

Annie King, Lillie Kreynus and Nellie Kreynus; a brother, Daniel Kreynus of Mechanicsville, Va.; also many nieces, nephews and great-nieces. She retired from the Division of Motor Vehicles. Ruth was a longtime member of New Bethesda Baptist Church. The family will received friends on Thursday, October 25 at the Mechanicsville Chapel of the Bennett Funeral Home, 8014 Lee-Davis Road, where services were held at on Friday, October 26. Interment Forest Lawn Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to New Bethesda Baptist Church. William Francis Harris, Jr. William Francis “Snapper” Harris, Jr. 88, of Hanover County, Virginia, peacefully departed this life on October 20, 2012. Born in Louisa County in April 1924, he was the first of five children born to W.F. and Annie Harris. He was a graduate of Louisa County High School and Danville Technical Institute. As a member of the Fighting Hell Hawks, Sgt. Harris landed on Omaha Beach on the 13th day of the Allied Invasion. His tour of duty included the liberation of Paris, the Battle of the Bulge and the advance into Germany at the Battle of Aachen. Throughout his life, on Veteran’s Day he would put on his uniform and brag that it still (barely) fit and he enjoyed wearing it to many Veteran’s Day celebrations. Following the war, Snapper began working at Southern Bank and Trust in Richmond. He caught the train each morning in Bumpass, Va., and rode to Richmond with a large group of other young people. On what affectionately became known as the “romance train,” he met Jean Chenault and they married in 1949. They lived in Hanover and he began working for Tri-County Bank. His banking career spanned 40 years, culminating with his retirement from Crestar Bank in 1987. His focus as a banker was to grow the four banks under his management in Hanover County, and in reference

to a 1960s television show character on “The Beverly Hillbillies,” was affectionately referred to as “Mr. Drysdale” by his children’s friends. A strong believer in the American Dream, he often remarked that he was especially proud to have helped numerous small businesses in Hanover get their starting capital and for helping many young people get their first home loan. He often joked that he had the best job in the world and on Friday nights at closing time customers “filled the lobby and cars were lined up down the street.” Snapper believed that community involvement was the duty of all citizens. He was a charter member of the Courthouse Ruritan Club and The Mechanicsville Businessmen’s Association, and was also a member of the Ashland Kiwanis Club, The Hanover Association of Businesses, the Hanover Country Club and a host of other civic groups. He and his

friend, Bud Engel were the founding fathers of The Courthouse Ruritan Club’s Annual Bull Roast. In 1960, he was appointed to the Hanover Planning Commission and served until 1979. He was a member of St Paul’s Episcopal Church, Hanover, and was a Master Mason. Snapper embodied the notion that anything is possible in this country. He rose from humble roots during the Great Depression, served our country in a world war and helped other people realize their own American dream. He left a legacy of service and commitment to his community. He was predeceased by his wife of fifty-one years, Jean Harris; and sister, Helen Berlekamp. He is survived by three sisters, Anne Harris, Gladys DeBerry and Mabel Nelson. In addition to his sisters, he is survived by his three children, Anne Nelson Morck (Wes), Overton Harris (Beth), and Scott Harris (Wendy); five grand-

children and one great-grandson. The family would like to thank all of Snapper’s friends who rooted for him during his last years and especially Wayne and Maria Pierce at the Hanover Cafe for graciously allowing him to make their restaurant his second home after Jean’s death. Heartfelt thanks go to Mary and Debbie Dandridge for the loving and compassionate care they provided during his final months. The family received friends at Bliley’s - Central, 3801 Augusta Ave., on Tuesday, October 23. A memorial service celebrating Snapper’s life will took place on Wednesday, October 24, at St Paul’s Church, Hanover. A reception followed in the Parish Hall. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Paul’s Church, P.O. Box 441, Hanover, Va. 23069. see OBITUARIES, pg. 27

HHS celebrating 10th anniversary with music event Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com In celebration of Hanover High School’s 10th anniversary, the music department (band, chorus and strings) is hosting Shaun Canon’s Live for Music Tour at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 20, in the HHS auditorium. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The performance will include Shaun

The Mechanicsville Local

Canon, along with the talented Hanover High School music students. Shaun (Barrowes) Canon is a former season 7 American Idol alum, a skilled and polished musician, vocalist and songwriter. His Live for Music Tour takes place at high schools across the nation and is receiving raving reviews and positive buzz from critics and the public. He was recently nominated for an

October 31, 2012

Emmy for the music video to “Army of Kings.” A recent review said Canon’s music “is clearly a nod to a rich musical past and an appreciation of its wide-screen cinema, [but his] pop leanings give the music a contemporary framework — the songs are both a longing glance backward and a running jump forward.” see HHS, pg. 21

ments on the economy. Jobs are not created in the White House! Small businesses create jobs and, from what I’ve heard from the beginnings of the Republican primaries, Romney has made a fortune by doing what Richard Gere’s character did in “Pretty Woman.” Put in a low bid to purchase in a troubled business’s worst economic time and split it all up to sell at a profit thereby allowing many members of the company’s workforce to lose their jobs during the “lean period.” You are the epitome of what the Republicans want us all to do argue amongst ourselves and forget who the real cowards and bad guys are! Additionally, I do not condone same-sex marriage. I think it is an abomination before Christ. However, remember the Constitution guarantees the right to Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. These folks have their rights too. Who

are you to judge others?! I do not know what Christ would say. I know what 1 Corinthians 6: 9-11 says — but that’s not my call or yours!! Obama believes in individual freedoms; that’s all this same-sex thing is about — liberty! And Islam is God’s way to remind us that even Abraham and Sarah needed to have patience and let the Lord do what He wills in His own time. Obama is not a Muslim. I saw him at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem with a kippah on his head. No Muslim would ever do this! And I watched him as he said on news clips that, “Jesus Christ is his personal Lord and Savior” — again no Muslim would ever say this! I believe that you as well as many white folks do not want to have a black man in the White House — pure and simple. That’s why the high-leveled leaders of the Republican Party agreed to obstructionism the day after Obama was first inaugurated, but what do I know? I’m nothing!

Tim Kaine, Col. Wanye Powell and Obama are all getting my vote and everyone that cares about this country and not themselves should do the same! Beg people to vote the right way — not yours! Dr. Richard Ryder, PhD Mechanicsville

Thanks to Tea Party for help Before this political season closes I want to congratulate the local Tea Party Members for their help. These folks have meticulously built and cared for those big yellow signs with the cryptic messages and those great looking flags. They and their brethren on the national level are having a devastating effect on the Republican Party. Have you noticed who they’ve pushed to the fore as candidates for election to the Senate? Keep in mind one of the Senate’s chief jobs is to confirm candidates that are expected to be nominated to the Supreme

Court over the next four years. This writer has been following the latest national polling, which suggests that these yellow sign folks may be chiefly responsible for the Democrats retaining control of the Senate and perhaps gaining a few more seats in the House of Representatives. Following are a few examples: Harry Reid soundly defeated Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle in Nevada by 6 percentage points. Her more temperate campaign slogan included the “phasing out of social security” — sound familiar? In Delaware; Christine (I’m not a witch) O’Donnell allowed the Democrats to retain the seat that Joe Biden gave up to become President Obama’s Vice-President. I’m currently laughing so hard now I can hardly continue typing. So, where was I? Oh yes, Ken Buck lost a Senate seat that was “his to lose” in Colorado. see LETTERS, pg. 21

of Representatives. Virginians once again will vote for their choice of candidates. As an Independent voter, I voted for both parties. Now I am supporting the Republican candidates. Here is why. Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s (Hope and Change) blew it. ObamaCare is a tax. A tax by any other name is still a tax. The U.S. Supreme court on 5-4 did say ObamaCare is a tax. Now we have ObamaTax. Largest tax increase in U.S. history. The man doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how to tell the truth and blames everybody for his failures. He has taken our nation to the far left and stuck us so far with $5 trillion and growing to pay back for generations to come. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think we can take four more years of no hope and his type of change and a president that is weak to our enemies. It is time to change him. The race for the U.S. Senate is no different. We have former Gov. Tim Kaine asking Virginians to trust him with our vote for the U.S. Senate. When

Gov. Tim Kaine took office, outgoing Gov. Mark Warner left him a $1.5 billion surplus. He says he is a fiscal conservative (and cows fly). As our governor he stuck as with a $4 billion deficit and wanted to increase our taxes several times. Also, there was $1.5 billion hide at the Transportation Department. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not forget the potholes that ruined our cars and the millions of dollars we all spend to fix them. While Gov. Tim Kaine and his appointees sitting on this $1.5 billion wanted to raise our gas taxes to make up for a fake short fall. But time ran out and we got a new governor, Bob McDonnell. President Obama made Gov. Tim Kaine the Democratic National Committee chairman while still Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s governor. No wonder Virginia was $4 billion in the hole, but Tim was getting two paychecks, one as governor and one from the DNC. Not bad for him. In the meantime, Virginians were losing their jobs and the state let about 2,000 people go. Under Gov. Tim Kaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wreaths, and more.

leadership our state was on its way to higher taxation. Thanks to our new governor, Bob McDonnell found the $1.5 billion at the Transportation Department and no tax increase. The roads started to look better and the rest stops opened. There is no middle ground in this case. Virginia citizens got duped. Now Gov. Kaine wants our trust and vote. I say no way, no how. Gov. McDonnell fixed the $4 billion shortfall, and again, no tax increase, our state is now in good hands. We have a $400 million surplus. Since Tim Kaine left as governor we now have a surplus for three straight years. We know Tim Kaineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great works as governor we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need him in Washington as our senator. The questions are simple: Are you happy with Obamaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership after four years? If the answer is no, then vote for a real change.

railroads. Still, many state legislators â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli and Del. Robert Bell, R-Albemarle, chief among them â&#x20AC;&#x201C; said this bill did not go far enough. They brought the constitutional amendment to the Virginia General Assembly where it passed with flying colors in the House (83-14) and more narrowly in the Senate (2216), with the majority of â&#x20AC;&#x153;naysâ&#x20AC;? coming from Democrats. Public approval is the last step needed for the amendment to officially be added to the state constitution. Bell, a co-sponsor, said the amendment is simply a way of strengthening personal property rights. On his website, Bell said the bill will â&#x20AC;&#x153;place private property protections in the Virginia

State Constitution. These rights would include many of those in the 2007 law, and would additionally require that the government adequately compensate the property owner.â&#x20AC;? At a news conference held in Norfolk in September, Cuccinelli said: â&#x20AC;&#x153;A property rights amendment to Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s constitution is the ultimate protection Virginians need, and voters will finally have a property rights amendment to vote on in the November ballot. Hopefully, then â&#x20AC;&#x201C; finally â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can put this dreaded and abominable era of government taking private property from one landowner and giving it to another behind us.â&#x20AC;? The Virginia Farm Bureau has endorsed, while the Virginia Municipal League (VML), a nonprofit association for city, town and county governments,

originally opposed the amendment and lobbied to have some of its language changed. According to Mark Flynn, VMLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director of legal services, his organization no longer has a stance on the amendment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so much, he said, that their thoughts on its content have changed; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more that they feel the amendmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage is inevitable. He said he believes the amendment will have an 80 percent pass rate. Flynn also said the amendment is far more complex than it first appears and believes that its passage could be lead to a deluge of unintended consequences. He said he also believes that the wording on the ballot, which does not contain the full text of the amendment, is deceptively simple. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like asking,â&#x20AC;? Flynn said in a telephone interview, â&#x20AC;&#x153; â&#x20AC;&#x2122;Should the constitution of Virginia be amended in favor of mom and pop and apple pie or in favor of communism?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;?

a pool table where moments earlier he’d weighed out marijuana on a digital scale hidden inside a lockbox disguised as a library book. The aggravated malicious wounding convictions stem from the wounding of Wells’ friend Aaron Evans, who was at the Wells home that night and was shot through the hand as he tried to stop one of the fleeing defendants. The convictions and Wells’ death should serve as a clarion call about the dangers and consequences of drug use and drug dealing, especially among young people, said Chief Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Shari L. Skipper, who warded off legal arguments from three veteran defense lawyers in the case. Scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 25 are former Atlee basketball standout Kevin M. Drayton Jr., now 19, who negotiated a deal to purchase 4 ounces of marijuana from Wells for $1,330; Da’Von T. Byars, now 19, who entered Wells’ home

and snatched 2 ounces of marijuana from Wells and then ran off; and Xavia S. Highsmith, now 20, the gunman, who, at 5 feet tall and just 115 pounds, was the man who shot Wells as the two struggled near the pool table during a post-robbery getaway attempt. “The tragedy is that these are all good young men; they had no criminal records to speak of,” Skipper said after court. She’d urged Stout to convict all three of the maximum possible charges, arguing that they had planned the robbery in advance, purchased a weapon in anticipation of violence, and that the timeline of the minutes-long encounter suggested a single event. Defense attorneys had urged Stout to find that the robbery was a larceny, a lesser offense that did not incorporate a notion of force or threats. Such a finding would have separated the shooting as an isolated struggle between Wells and Highsmith that took place after Byars had run off with the drugs. Defense lawyers argued that the shooting was not premeditated and could be viewed as a

matter of self-defense given the differences in the sizes of Wells and Highsmith. In a dramatic effort to sway the court, defense lawyer John Luxton put Drayton on the stand, eliciting comments from him that Drayton’s text to Highsmith about a “4 zip lick” was never meant to suggest a robbery of the 4 ounces of highgrade marijuana but merely a plan to flash money for the purported deal and then run off with the dope without paying. During Drayton’s testimony, his mother, separated from the defendants, lawyers and judge by a low wall, kneeled in prayer. She said during a courtroom break that she has kept statistics on her son’s basketball achievements since he was 6 years old. When Stout issued his verdicts, one family member of a defendant screamed and was carried outside the courtroom in the arms of a relative. Defense lawyers had argued that Highsmith feared for his life when the much larger Wells ran after him after the drug snatch and the two fell down a short flight of stairs. The fatal shot apparently occurred as Highsmith held the gun to Wells’ chest and fired, according to medical evidence. Drayton, who was known at Atlee as a flashy player and who bragged about his drug habit on a Facebook page, drove a Mercedes but switched out the car for another vehicle to disguise his presence outside the Wells home in the 7300 block of Verdi Lane in Mechanicsville. A friend of Wells testified

that he tossed marijuana and other incriminating items in the woods after the shooting, and testimony indicated that Wells had screamed out for help seconds before being shot and as Highsmith and Byars were making off with his dope. Skipper argued that Highsmith or Byars had showed the gun as a warning to Wells, but defense lawyers said it was implausible that Wells would have run after Byars and Highsmith unarmed. Drayton testified Tuesday that he’d made less than a half dozen drug deals with Wells, and he told police that he and the two others had chipped in to buy a weapon because they wanted to increase the volume of business they did. Drayton also told police that he had once been ripped off during a drug deal in the same way he planned to rip off Wells. But the lingering message Tuesday of the events was measured in the tears of family members of the victim and defendants alike. In January at Wells’ funeral, which attracted more than 600 people, longtime Wells friend Weylin Long marveled at the magnetism of an “unassuming . . . good, good person.” But Long said he and many others were aware that Wells sometimes used marijuana. And Highsmith’s mother back then said she knew her son only as a hardworking young man whose drug dealings were simply unknown to her. “Don’t portray my son as a monster,” she said then. Last Tuesday, she left the courthouse in tears.

Just said Jackson reminds him of former Lee-Davis standout, and current Confederate assistant coach, Brandon Randolph. “Long, lean and very graceful when he runs the football. You just don’t see many backs like him. Not that style. He’s a lot of fun to watch on film.” Not only do the trio share an ability to run the football but a top-notch character and humble attitude. “LJ’s one of the nicest kids and one of those kids with great character,” Just said. “That’s one of the best things I can say about him…He’s just one of the more polite, kind of humble kids that you meet.” Likewise for Simpson. “He’s a good boy,” Hayden said. “He does exactly what you ask of him. He’s a hard worker. He’s a leader by example…He’s accountable and he’s everything

you want in a high school football player.” Equally humble, Jackson got a chance to demonstrate his character last season. Returning from injury, Jackson displayed no ill feelings when teammate Jared Hall remained Atlee’s primary ball carrier. “He’s a humble kid and he realized and understood that Jared Hall is a teammate and Jared Hall is playing well,” Johnson said. “He’s like, ‘I’m a junior and I’m going to take a back seat for a good friend and my time will come’.” Jackson more than made up for lost time this year. In the first month of the season, it only took four games for him to break the 1000 yard mark. Now seven games into his senior career, Jackson leads the Central Region by a mile, racking up 1634 yards and 29 touchdowns, averaging 7.9 yards per carry and 233.4 yards per game. What makes his numbers

The Mechanicsville Local October 31, 2012

even more impressive. Jackson has not played late in several games due to Atlee’s substantial lead. Though it may seem to many that Jackson came out of nowhere, the Atlee coaches have known for years that he had the talent to burst onto the scene. “He was this good in ninth grade,” Johnson said. “It’s the same offensive line. He was good on JV so we knew he had the capability. He’s just now showing everybody else.” Jones agreed. “I’ve known what he’s capable of doing,” he said. “I knew if he had his opportunity and he was on a good team he would be able to do it.” Still, Jackson has managed to even surprise himself. “I feel like they knew what was going to happen eventually,” he said. “We didn’t see this, how big it is. We didn’t see me getting this much yardage.” Two weeks after Jackson entered the 1000 yard club, Jones and Simpson joined him. Now eight games into the sea-

son Jones has 1,344 yards on 181 carries, averaging 7.4 yards per touch and 168 yards per game. Simpson is close behind with 1343 yards on 286 carries, averaging 4.7 yards per carry and 167.8 yards per game. After standout junior seasons both Jones and Simpson started attracting college interest. Simpson has already visited his dream school, Appalachian State, while drawing interest from VMI and Campbell. Jones says he’s drawing interest from someone new virtually every week. Among others he has attracted the interest of William and Mary, Wafford and Norfolk State. Ironically, Jackson has drawn little interest from colleges despite putting up jaw dropping numbers this season. He has sent out nearly 60 tapes to college recruiters but gotten little response. “It’s just a matter that he’s a late bloomer,” Johnson said. Most Division I schools concentrate on players during their junior season while I-AA schools wait to see which play-

ers the I-A schools pass on. Therefore Jackson is now playing the waiting game. “I’m just being patient,” Jackson said. “The offers or whatever will come so I’m just sitting and praying.” Said Johnson- “He’s enjoying his teammates and whatever happens, happens. He’s got the grades that he needs so it’s just a matter of where the opportunity comes.” Still, it is obvious that Jackson is bothered by the lack of interest and now weighs the success of his season on the future. “I know I have like (1600) yards right now…It means something but it doesn’t mean a whole lot because I don’t have any offers yet. That’s the big thing. I’m just looking for offers right now. When I get an offer I know I’ve had a successful season.” For now though, Hanover County can enjoy boasting about producing the top running backs in Central Virginia. Johnson believes effort outweighs talent when it comes to the local athletes. “Our schools, Hanover, Lee-Davis and our-

selves, we may not have the best athletes but we’ve got kids that work hard,” he said. “Those kids that work hard, are in the weight room all the time, and give everything they got, sometimes tend to outdo those kids that have athletic ability because they work for it. When you have athletic ability sometimes you don’t always work. It’s just a God’s gift ability where a lot of these kids in Hanover Country realize they have to work hard.” Said Just- “There’s a lot of talent in the county now football wise. It’s fun to see all the county teams relevant.” For Hayden, coaching also plays into the running back production. “Good coaching, guys in this area obviously know who to give the ball to,” he said. “We figure it out.” Now it is up to the runners to determine how far they can carry their respective teams. And when it comes to post-season awards? “It’s going to call for a very interesting All-District meeting to say the least,” Hayden said.

The other Rogers comes up big for LD Confederates hand No. 5 Hanover 10-6 loss By Thomas C. Dozier for The Mechanicsville Local In a game played under a light drizzle for most of the first half. It should come as no surprise that a player with the last name of Rogers was the catalyst of his team’s victory in a battle between two Hanover County Schools. Even though Hanover quarterback/H-Back Sam Rogers played a terrific game, it was Lee-Davis quarterback Deshaun Rogers that gave his team a lift in the second half that resulted in victory. Deshaun Rogers, a 5-8, 160pounder senior rushed for 63 yards on 11 carries in the second half and combined with

running back Chris Simpson to wreak havoc as Lee-Davis held off visiting Hanover, No. 5 in the Times-Dispatch poll, 10-6 in a Group AAA Capital District game on Friday. “I think they put me in there in the second half at quarterback to provide some senior leadership,” Deshaun Rogers said. “But once I am in the backfield, the opposition can no longer key on Simpson, so it causes confusion.” Rogers, is a terrific track athlete who participates in the 400, long jump and triple jump. For him, Friday’s victory “was the best feeling in the world.” Perhaps the Confederates greatest task of the evening was see ROGERS, pg. 32 ` Kenny Moore/For The Local

McPhearson and Cavs roll past Pointers King William scores quickly and West Point plays catchup By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com CENTRAL GARAGE, – King William dominated visiting West Point in a Tidewater District match-up on Friday night, 66-22.

but the contest was one-sided from the get-go. With so much at stake, King Williams head coach Jim Henderson expected his Cavs to come in ready to play. “We had a great week of practice,” he said. “I expected all of our kids [to do well].” Breaking out early, the Cavaliers (8-1, 3-0 Tidewater) scored four touchdowns in the first quarter to jump out to a 30-7 lead, closing the first half ahead 52-22. West Point (8-2, 3-1) came into the contest with only one loss on the season but quickly found themselves playing catch-up. “They came out with a whole lot of intensity,” Pointers’ head coach, L. C. Briggs said of King William. “I give it to

them. They took it to us. They came out ready to play. We got behind the 8-ball, and we just couldn’t bring it back.” Despite a steady drizzle throughout, both teams exhibited good control of the ball. But for the blocked punt, there were no turnovers in the game, which was also almost penaltyfree. King William senior quarterback/wide receiver Freeman McPhearson, a critical player in the Cavaliers’ offensive arsenal, had 34 yards passing and 161 yards rushing, carrying in four rushing touchdowns: a 1-yard keeper, an elusive 56-yard run, a 25-yard sprint and a 30-yard burst up the middle. “He’s got a lot of speed,” Briggs said. “He’s a big kid.

stopping a team that has been averaging 42 points per game. “They have a great defense,” said Lee-Davis third-year coach Zac Hayden. “We are getting better on defense but I give all the credit to my assistant coaches – James Becker, Brandon Randolph, Antwan Gray, Larry Lewis and Vince McGhee, for having us ready. This is a huge win for the program.” Lee-Davis senior linebacker Mark Reisenweaver, who had 10 tackles on the evening, said it was a collective effort. “We believe in each other,” Reisenweaver exclaimed. “We played with an attitude. We believe in our system and in our coaches and tried to stick to the fundamentals.” Reisenweaver got help from D. J. Ballard, Donald Kidd, Dallas and Dustin Cosby, Colin Stone and Blake Stattelman to hold the potent Hawks to six points. The game pitted two of

the top 3 rushers in the area – Simpson and Hanover senior running back Lawrence “LJ” Jones. Coming into the game, Simpson had amassed 1,213 yards on 260 carries while Jones had toted the ball 156 times for 1,199. Jones, with 145 yards on 25 carries, may have won the RB battle but Simpson (26 carries, 130 yards) won the war. “He is a great back and had a great game,” Simpson said. “I just tried to do what was good for the team. When Deshaun Rogers came in, basically I went right and he went left, and they had a hard time stopping. And in the end, I think we wore them down.” Hanover’s Sam Rogers finished with 65 yards on the ground on 15 carries, 42 yards in the air and a game-high 14 tackles on defense. After a pair of three-andouts by both teams to start the game, the Confederates got a boost when sophomore quarterback Brandon Sulser hit Austin Rice for a 33-yard gain

over the middle and the home team took the ball inside the 5-yard line. However, Lee-Davis had to settle for a 28-yard field goal by sophomore Stephen Hall and took the 3-0 lead into the locker room for intermission. The rain subsided at halftime, but the defense was stout on both sides of the ball, therefore neither team got much going in the third quarter. Lee-Davis began to impose its will in the final quarter, as the team marched down 81 yards on nine plays and capped the drive with a 22-yard scamper around the left end by Jordon Prentiss. Hall added the PAT to give the home team a 10point lead with 9:14 to play. It was then up to Confederates’ defense to provide the first win over their county rival. Hanover’s only score came when Sam Rogers carried it in from 1-yard out to bring the visitors within four points with 5:29. Hanover opted for the two-point conversion but was

Point came moments later. On a Pointer fourth down play, King William sophomore Austin Simons sailed in to block then recover a Hector Ruiz punt on the Pointers’ 9 yard-line. Three plays later, Barton Stone tacked on the Cavaliers’ third unanswered TD on a 3-yard carry. But the highlight of the evening came with less than a minute remaining in the first half when the Cavs perfectly executed a hook and ladder play. McPhearson passed to Jamal Johnson, who lateralled to Shawn Chandler on the run for a 65-yard TD dash up the right sideline. “Since the beginning of the year, we’ve been doing [that play in practice],” Henderson said. “Actually we’ve tried to run it in some other games and it didn’t time up right; or we couldn’t do the pitch because somebody was on the pitch

For Henderson, it was good to simply see Chandler healthy. “He’s been limited with an illness for the past four weeks,” the coach said. “We knew last week that he was finally clear, but we couldn’t get it until game day, so he wasn’t really involved a whole lot in the game planning; and this week he had a great week in practice. He finally came back and he was able to get his wind back. That was the main thing. We wanted to see whether or not he could be in shape enough coming off of that illness; so we’re real excited that he’s back up to 100 percent.” Cavalier defenders Brandon

Jackson, Stone, TJ Young, Daniel McGehee and Da’Monn Robinson, McPhearson helped hold the Pointers scoreless in the second half. “We came out and played hard,” Henderson said. “We came in a lot better in the second half. We started getting after the quarterback in the second half. We credit our DBs. They were staying with him the whole first half. The quarterback has to make some time in order to find those receivers.” Late in the first quarter Pointers’ quarterback Robert “Mikey” Anerton did a good job of adjusting to the Cavs defense and finding open receivers deep. Anerton completed touchdown passes of 44-, 25- and 34-yards to keep the game interesting. “I credit their quarterback,” Henderson said. “They’ve got

Though his team took a beating at the hands of the Cavs, Briggs was proud of the Pointers’ accomplishment simply coming into the game with one loss. “This is a team that was 4-6 last year,” he said. “We were not supposed to be here by all rights.

Lee-Davis reclaims district tournament trophy Confederates down Hawks 1-0 for title By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local The Lee-Davis field hockey team had to wait three years for it to happen, but the wait proved worth it.

In a tough defensive battle, the Confederates wrested the trophy from rival Hanover with a 1-0 victory at River City Sportsplex Thursday night. Both teams now advance to the Central Region tournament at River City Sportsplex this week. Hanover is scheduled to meet Colonial District champion Maggie L.

goal in the 10th minute. “This is possibly the best feeling ever,” Gibson said. “It’s so awesome to be here with my team and be the one to score.” Gibson, who was fed the ball by junior midfielder Madison Doss, broke toward the net from the left side of the field. Hanover’s senior goalkeeper Bailey Lien came out to meet her, diving toward Gibson and using her body to block a potential shot. “I pulled it around her,” Gibson said. “When she was on the ground I lifted it into the goal.” Hanover’s defense stiffened after that. The Confederates, despite numerous opportunities, could not get the ball in the net. Lien, kept busy most of the night by Lee-Davis’ attack, finished with eight saves. “They had a lot more offensive opportunities than we did,” said Hanover coach Sarah Bottorff. “But we shut them down. … Our defense played phenomenally tonight.” Jones, whose Confederates outshot Hanover 9-1, agreed. “We dominated offensively,” Jones said. “But, as usual,

Hanover’s defense gave us a consistent challenge and didn’t allow that ball in the cage more than once. But we kept our consistency as a team and we were persistent.” The Confederates’ defense played a significant role in keeping their offense stoked with opportunities. Players such as senior defender Savannah Dotson frequently stripped Hanover attackers of the ball. “I just wanted to get the ball to my offense so they could score,” Dotson said. “I just wanted to keep it away from Hanover.” Dotson said the key to success was awareness and planning. “I had to look down the field to see where my team is and I had to plan my move to get around the offensive players,” Dotson said. “I go which way their stick’s not on the ground.” The win added a nice bookend to Dotson’s high school career. “I wanted [the trophy] so bad,” Dotson said. “We won it my freshman year. To come back and win it my senior year

is amazing. I’m sorry to leave it behind.” The final minutes of regulation triggered a blizzard of aggressive offense and scrappy defense. Hanover had its share of opportunities, but as the clock wound down, Lee-Davis was clearly in charge. “Those last few minutes of any game feel like 30, particularly when the other team brings the level of competition that Hanover did,” Jones said. “It was a great game of hockey for both teams.” Despite the intensity of the competition for the district title, the game began with stellar sportsmanship. Lien, Hanover’s only goalkeeper, had forgotten some of her required gear. LeeDavis backup keeper Danielle Westbrook offered a loan of her gear until Lien’s mom returned with the left-behind items. “I’d rather us play than win by default,” Westbrook said.

A Raider repeat sweep of cross country titles Atlee claims Capital District championships By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com For the second straight year, the Atlee cross country teams swept through the Capital District championships at Pole Green Park, claiming the boys and girls varsity team trophies as well as both sub-varsity titles. Atlee junior Nathaniel Hall repeated as winner of the boys varsity Capital District race, completing the 5K event in 16:04. Glen Allen junior Katie Sperry took the girls title, outdistancing the field by 26 seconds to win in 19:19. Both were named their respective Runners of the Year. Competing in nearly 85 degree temperatures put added pressure on the runners and made it important for the athletes to set a correct pace for themselves. “We talked a little bit about going out under control because that would be better to handle the heat a little bit,” said Atlee’s Jim Triemplar, who was named both boys and girls Coach of the Year. But Triemplar also emphasized the importance of maintaining tradition in what was the final Capital District meet before classification realignment takes place next year. “Sometimes, we almost take it for granted that we’re going to be in the hunt,” he told his runners. “Make sure that we appreciate what those who have come before us have done and this group has continued to keep that tradition going. Don’t ever take that for granted.” Next week’s regional will most likely mark the final time Hanover and Glen Allen, which will drop to Division 4 status, will compete against the likes

of Atlee, Lee-Davis, Highland Springs, Henrico and Varina. Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews was nostalgic about the day. “It’s special. I like tradition,” he said. “I wasn’t in favor of the new changes because I like tradition so much and in sports like cross country tradition is what keeps you going. At the same time, starting new might be a fresh start for our group and for myself and my coaches. We look forward to what’s in the future but this was definitely special.” Atlee’s girls ran away with the varsity title over second place Lee-Davis (29-to-63) by placing all five of their scoring runners among the top nine finishers. Sophomore Chloe Bavin took second followed by juniors Scarlett Bavin (4th) and Katt Grasberger (6th). Senior Paige Harrar and junior Katie Gardner were eighth and ninth. The group of Atlee runners lagged behind just past the midway point but made their move hidden from the gallery of followers. “Evidently we ran pretty well in the woods because we were

in a lot better shape coming out of the woods than we were going in,” Triemplar said. Lee-Davis turned in a solid team effort, placing their top five runners inside the first 20 across the finish line. Senior Bonny Turnage started out strong, keeping pace with Sperry until fading at the midway point. “She just didn’t have it today,” Mathews said of Turnage. “Her and Katie have been having some great battles all year. I just think that today Bonnie didn’t have it.” Turnage led the Confederates with a seventh place finish but Mathews said next week could be far different. “I wouldn’t count her out next week at regionals. Her workouts are amazing.” Lee-Davis junior Hailey Warren came in 10th followed by sophomore Megan Paul (12th), senior Tiffany Reynolds (15th) and senior Haley Uliasz (19th). Mathews said his girls admittedly did not put in their best performance in the meet. “I really thought they would

run a little better than they did,” he said. “They finished the race and they said, ‘Coach, I don’t think we’re tough.’ I think they got a little warm, they found an excuse and they took the easy road. I thought that they had a chance today. They’d been running really well. I think we’re getting close but today wasn’t the day.” Hanover junior Annie Sadler took third, followed by sophomore Courtney Chenault and junior Rachel Gaunt (13th14th). Sophomore Allison Burns was 17th and senior Savannah Reeves 21st to give the Hawks 69 points and a third place finish for a berth in the regional meet this Saturday at Pole Green Park. Glen Allen claimed the final regional bid, finishing fourth with 88 points. Henrico’s Ashley Brown turned in the best performance by a freshman on the day, taking fifth place in the event. In the boys’ varsity competition, Atlee beat out Lee-Davis 35-to-54 to repeat as title hold-

ers. Hanover was third with 80 points and Glen Allen fourth with 94 points. The Raiders placed all seven of their runners inside the top 20 and got scores with five finishing in the top 12. Senior Griffin Carmichael took fifth while ailing sophomore Tre Fields and senior Bizz Alidost were eighth and ninth. Treimplar’s biggest concern was the performance of Fields who has been battling both illness and allergies. “He said the last couple of races he’s had, he’s gone out really good through the first two miles then faded the third mile because he was weak,” Triemplar said. “We knew he was a little healthier but we didn’t know if he was healthy enough to get through the whole race.” Fields came down the stretch in a pack with Carmichael and Henrico’s Andrew Cottman. While Cottman and Carmichael broke into a sprint, Fields maintained his pace. “Griffin was able to respond, kick it in like a true half-miler

and Tre wasn’t quite able to, but was able to hold what place that he had,” Triemplar said. Senior Michael Spagnolo had an off day, finishing 16th overall, but he was picked up by the performance of junior Dylan Richeson, who claimed 12th. “Spagnola had a rough day today but he has been on fire lately. Today was maybe his day to have not such a good race,” Triemplar said. “Dylan Richeson, who is totally new to this, has just been steady as a rock.” Lee-Davis juniors Paul Adam and Grayson Morgan finished second and third. “They came through today,” Mathews said. “They’re real comfortable right now. They’re learning to run up front and believe in themselves.” C-fed sophomores Morgan Vest (11th) Jonathan Chudoba (15th) and Sheldon Harris ( 23rd) rounded out the scoring for Lee-Davis. “The boys, I think coming see ATLEE, pg. 35 `

It could be different next week at the region meet. I think that we still have what it takes to advance to the state meet and it’s just one of those, ‘I think we can get them next week’.” Hanover junior Caleb Haneline led the way for the Hawks with a 10th place finish. He was followed by junior Blake Woodring (14th), senior Dustyn Vallies (17th), sophomore Jonathan Hughes (18th) and junior Cameron Upshaw (21st). Varina junior Darrick

set the standard early by winning both sub-varsity races. “One thing we always talk about is for the sub-varsity kids to set the tone,” Triemplar said. “I think they did that today.” Atlee and Lee-Davis finished one-two in both sub-varsity races. Atlee sophomore Andrew Franco won the boys race with a time of 18:00.

Trailing 17-10 with 7:36 remaining, sophomore quarterback Zac Naccarato found Luke Sellers for a 14-yard scoring strike to pull R-MC (5-3 / 3-2 ODAC) within one. The extra point missed keeping SU in the lead at 17-16. Shenandoah (1-7/0-5 ODAC) looked to have regained control on its next possession when Cory Taylor connected with Qiydarr Murphy for a 33yard touchdown pass to put SU out in front 24-16 with 3:16 to play in the game. However, on the first play of its ensuing possession, R-MC wide receiver Luke Sellers took a reverse then threw a strike to Terry Clark for a 41-yard gain. After a Will McGhee rush of four yards, Naccarto completed three straight passes to get RM- down to the SU 9-yard line.

Naccarato found a wide open Zach Midulla at the 1-yard line and the tight-end walked into the end zone to tie the game at 24 with 1:34 to play. The Hornets got the ball back and on the second play of the drive, Abel Simpson picked off backup quarterback Shawn Lloyd at the SU 46. With no timeouts and facing third down and eight from the R-MC 48, Naccarato and Sellers hooked up for a 33-yard gain down to the Hornets’ 19yard line. Randolph-Macon then got a 13-yard run by McGhee and a 3-yard run by Jesse Knepp down to the SU three, setting up Storm for the game-winner. McGhee finished the day with 158 yards on the day, while Vance Hendren added 54 yards and one score on the ground. Naccarato was 13-of-21 for 170 yards and Sellers was his most popular target, finding him five times for 97 yards. Tom Solak had 2.5 sacks
