Hundreds of Hanover County residents paused on Sunday to recognize the men and women who have served this country. It’s become an annual tradition at the Hanover Veteran’s Memorial, and a nearrecord crowd turned out for this year’s Veteran’s Day wreathlaying ceremony at Hanover Wayside Park. “We had a great turnout this year for a great event,” said Jack Ward, one of the organizers. “It shows just how much this community values its veterans.” The program featured a familiar face at the keynote podium.

Veterans laying this year’s wreath included, from left, Sean Davis, Mike Alley, JIm Kickler, Stan Gisriel and Howard Byrd.

Brigadier General Larry Gilman provided the address, a poignant reminder of just how much veterans have provided their fellow citizens. Gilman noted the importance of the American soldier in preserving almost every principle citizens hold near and

dear to their collective national hearts. “We couldn’t live here in this wonderful land of freedom without the service and sacrifice of soldiers and their families,” Gilman said. He recalled the words of U.S. Marine Corps chaplain Father

The Church of the Redeemer on Meadowbridge Road will present the 5th Annual No Room at the Inn featuring Nativity displays from around the world.

No Room at the Inn slated at Church of the Redeemer Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The 5th Annual No Room at the Inn will be presented Friday through Sunday, Nov. 30-Dec. 2 at the Church of the Redeemer at 8275 Meadowbridge Road in Mechanicsville. A display of Nativities from around the world celebrate the true meaning of Christmas by focusing on the humble birth of the blessed baby Jesus and by helping those for whom there is also “no room at the inn” — people who are homeless. Just as Mary and Joseph found there was no room in the inn that very first Christmas, more than 1,000 Richmond children and adults seek shelter every night and thousands in Haiti have no roof over their heads.

Members of the community can help make a difference by loaning a Nativity set, donating auction items, attending the Preview Gala, and visiting the Exhibit and Children’s Area. The Preview Gala will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 30, featuring the Nativities exhibit, light

refreshments, live music, and silent and live auctions Celebrate the season with your friends and neighbors. Dress in your Gala best or in your comfortable festive wear. Auction items have included vacation stays, jewelry, electronics, themed gift baskets, toys and games, and gift cards. Winning bids have ranged from $5 to hundreds of dollars. Tickets for the Gala, which are $20, may be purchased Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 1718, at the Redeemer office and after all liturgies. Advanced tickets may be purchased online for $21 each using a credit card. Limited tickets may be purchased at the door on the see INN, pg. 4

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

LETTERS

Battle behind us: time to look ahead

| Reader Views

Well, the results are in — and some are happy and some not so much. But, after having been inundated with e-mails (the office inbox warned about an impending explosion on several occasions) and too many phone calls, the General Election is history. Despite hard-fought and often bitter campaigns, some who were not successful in their bids for office were most gracious in conceding their losses. Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and U.S. Senate candidate George Allen, both Republicans, were gentlemen in their congratulations to winners Barack Obama and Tim Kaine. The bottom line, as Obama said last Tuesday night, was we are the United States of America. And it is time to get back to that united part. We may not all agree on political philosophies, but we must come together as one for the future of this great nation. The election is over. It’s a new day. And, in January, Obama will begin his second term as our leader. We’ve read opinions in our letters to the editor and, whether we agreed, the freedom of speech is priceless — and one we support wholeheartedly. United. That’s the word we must embrace for our country’s sake.

You can help One of my favorite locations in Hanover County is the Historic Polegreen Church. From that first visit, there has been a lure to drive by — and often stop — many times. I guess it stems from the imagination of what took place on that site. To see the frame of the church is awe-inspiring and to gaze upon it evokes emotions of our history and our future. The Historic Polegreen Church Foundation is soliciting contributions to its 2012 Annual Fund. If you would like to donate, you can go online at www.historicpolegreen.org/give. Please support this significant part of Hanover County. Melody Kinser

After the election: Was morality in your vote? (Editor’s note: The following was addressed to “Dear Fellow Citizens.” As you well know, we are at a critical, pivotal point in our American history. Sovereignty, true freedom, religious liberty and your constitutional rights are among inalienable rights endowed by our Creator, which are not given by our government or other powers on the entire planet! The founders of this great nation were imperfect men but men of good moral compass and character who diligently and proudly carried a Christian Bible with them most of the time, and used it to help them gain wisdom, knowledge and understanding, as well as peace and serenity in times of dire needs. It is well known that the words of our Constitution and Bill of Rights and other writings render much emphasis and value towards morality, truth and justice. They, the founders, knew full well the price of freedom especially after earning it at great sacrifice . . . the freedom we take for granted every day. Our present government’s application of the so-called “will of the people” has developed into an oppressive wielding of a God-less brand of tyranny exceeding the oppression of the king in the Colonial era. The framers painstakingly used every moral fiber of their being to establish the fairest moral document this side of the Holy Scriptures. They did very well indeed to recognize that “We the People” are words inspired directly of God and were ordained and carefully set in our founding documents. This is why we as Americans became the greatest nation on earth. “We did build that!” Just like the number of Obama states, we would need at least “57” volumes of this humble newspaper to tell you, the citizens, the provable facts about this administration and who they really work for. It’s the “New World Order!” Please remember that “Only with Morality Comes True Freedom!” Everything else is a form of: socialism, communism, fascism, Marxism, liberalism, political-correctness, hate, etc. The above will never take you to true salvation or satisfaction. We may want to ask ourselves: Does anyone have the moral right to vote for a candidate or things that will harm the people? If those same types of imposition and mandates were to be thrust upon you, would you ask the same question of them?

The problems we have in our nation did not happened overnight. We the people can surely solve them way faster than they manifested. If you are a Democrat and do not approve of the destructive and hateful actions, lies and cover-ups, etc., that your party participates in and Non-American values as listed above, you have an obligation and duty to demand all such immoralities and improprieties stop. John Wallmeyer Ashland

Weighing in on debate about Founding Fathers and religion I have been reading for weeks now and I’ve seen people bashing Raymond and Latoya and Christians in general for trying to do what God has called them to do. Why do they do it? Because they are making the most of every opportunity like God tells us to do. I held back because I didn’t want to make this is a political issue. It’s actually a faith and spiritual move. There’s much to be said and much for this world to learn. I will just share basic information for now. First, it’s been said that Benjamin Franklin is considered to be an atheist. Benjamin Franklin also said, “Sin is not hurtful because it is forbidden, but it is forbidden because it is hurtful.” Interesting, that, to be considered an atheist he recognizes sin. Is it possible that no matter how much an atheist hates God they still know right from wrong? The Bible tells us a lot about atheists also known as anti-Christ (correct me if I’m wrong) and how they are already in the world. Example: They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and see LETTERS, pg. 8

the world listens to them. (1 John 4:5). That almost reminds me of some politicians, whatever position they may be campaigning for. They tell us what we want to hear instead of what we need to hear. They get asked what they support because the world wants support to live outside of God’s will Not to mention, Obama said, “It’s time for change!” He promised change. I believe once he became president, he changed his mind. All in all, he’s right. It’s time to change the way we live and live our lives according to God’s will. Second, it was said that Islam is God’s way. Why, then, does half the religion believe it to be a battle within themselves constantly staying in prayer seeking forgiveness and peace (I actually need to work on that myself) and another half believe they have to kill Jews, Christians and Americans? To me, it sounds like it doesn’t matter your religion. If you’re an American or Jew,

they want to kill you when God clearly says, “Thou shall not kill.” Why do they believe this then? Perhaps here’s an answer. They will put you out of the synagogue. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when the time comes you will remember that I warned you. (John 16:2-4). Keep in mind that Jesus warned you. Third, it was said that 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 is known, yet it was not shared. Seems to be another case of not saying what needs to be heard. If I may, share the truth of the subject? Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. Was this not said due to fear

to answer. The Lord looks at the heart. He knows what’s in our heart. If it’s a sinful desire and we choose to want that, He will hand us over to it. I don’t think Sarah and Abraham were the patient ones, nor are we. But God is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9) No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. (1 Corinthians 10:13) God is here for us because He loves us that much even after we have turned from Him. He desires for us to put to death our sinful nature. We have the opportunity to be revived through a righteous and spiritual awakening! Now God also said, “The days are coming, when I will send a famine through the land -- not a famine of food or thirst for water, but a famine in hearing the words of the Lord.” (amos 8:11 So many of us do not hear see LETTERS, pg. 17

of how people will react? Truth is, we respond to correction with hate, bitterness and insults because deep down inside we know that we shouldn’t be doing the things we do. It’s similar to seeing the big yellow signs. We run from the truth because we are scared of the truth, not realizing that the truth will set us free. If we read deeper into scripture, we discover that it’s related to the world today. Here is a part of Jeremiah 7: They went backward instead of forward. (Interesting.) This is the nation that has not obeyed the Lord its God or responded to correction. Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips. How far have we drifted from God? It almost feels far enough to where we don’t even want Him here. I prayed to God on numerous occasions, just for all the wrong reasons. I even made promises to Him that weren’t kept. I may not be the only one. There were times He even answered them right away, but my heart was not right with Him even though He still chose

Northside targets wellness by oﬀering adult exercise stations Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

enior adults are a growing segment of Hanover County representing 13 percent of the population. By 2030, seniors will be 22 percent of area residents, according to the Virginia Employment Commission. Recognizing the role that exercise plays for healthy adult

life, the Northside Baptist Church has added adult exercise stations to their community playground. Now, for the first time, parents and grandparents can exercise while they watch their children play. “Exercise parks for senior adults are popular in Europe and are just beginning to sprout up in the United States, said Dr. Jeff Scott, senior pas-

Nancy Schneider, Kathie Doubt and Donise Boone are among the first to try two of the no-impact exercise stations.

“Exercise for old guys — what a concept,” said Dr. Jeff Scott, senior pastor of Northside Baptist Church. “Adults can get a work out while watching their children play on the playground. There are even picnic tables nearby to enjoy a snack. After that, you can take a family walk around the nearly half mile track and call it a day.”

tor of Northside Baptist. “Our playground and nearly half mile walking track are free and available to our community during daylight hours. We love our neighbors and are delighted to have this opportunity to

help encourage healthy bodies, minds, and souls.” The church, located on Studley Road in Mechanicsville, offers five exercise stations specifically designed for active senior

adults to enjoy a fun, self-paced workout of the major muscle groups. Adults and children alike have given the equipment a try and offer good reviews. The equipment was installed by the Trafford Corporation in Richmond under the direction and hands on effort of Troy Dow, Trafford Corporation’s regional manager. Scott said, “The project couldn’t have happened with-

out the hard work of Troy Dow and the people at Trafford.” Funds for the playground were provided by the church and a Connections grant from the Dover Baptist Association. The one-time grant was to assist area Baptist churches to connect with their community in creative ways. Scott said that Northside believes that families that play together and pray together will be strong and healthy.

Quick and easy ideas for weeknight suppers By Dobby Bruce Hodges for The Mechanicsville Local

(Editor’s note: Today we feature another recipe from Dobby Bruce Hodges, one of our readers who will be a frequent contributor to this page devoted to favorite recipes, especially those handed down through generations of families. Of course, original creations also will be spotlighted. If you would like to share a recipe with us, send it to mkinser@mechlocal.com.

God’s voice because we have hardened our heart. He sends plagues, hunger, storms, etc., but we do not return to Him. Perhaps these are all warnings. Perhaps Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, 9/11, the earthquake in Japan and here just over a year ago, the tsunami in India were all sent by God; yet many of us still have not returned to Him. God gives us fair warning, we just are too blind to take heed to them. He just wants us to return and obey His commands, live our lives through Him. So, today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion. (Hebrews 3:7-8) Sheepherders? Trying to figure out where the rain comes from? A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions. (Proverbs 18:2) In my opinion, Noah is the only one who has ever been precise about the weatehr. Does that make me a fool? Just might. If I have said anything in this letter that has convinced you to hate me, keep in mind that you hated Jesus first. (John 15:8) I commend you who stand up for your faith, and I pray for you who need God but fear to come to Him. We all need God. There are many who can help you seek Him. So, I ask you, world, what’s it going to be? Repent or perish? Paul stated it more simply, “What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip or in love and with a gentle spirit?” (1 Corinthians 4:21) You don’t have to wait for the next letter session to respond, you can respond now at 804833-3102.

Around 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 6, the flood of voters at the Rural Point Precinct in the 2012 General Election had slowed, but remained steady. Poll workers said more than 1,100 ballots had been cast by that time.

By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com (Editor’s note: The results reported are unofficial. For more information, visit the Virginia State Board of Elections at http:// www.sbe.virginia.gov/.) Hanover County voters maintained their long-held conservative Republican choices at the polls in the Nov. 6 General Election, but the Hanover Democratic Committee had cause to celebrate with the

nationwide outcomes. Gordon Silver, who serves as chair of the local Democrats, said, “We, Hanover Democrats, are thrilled that President [Barack] Obama was re-elected for his second term and we are overjoyed that Gov. Tim Kaine will go to the [U.S.] Senate to work with Sen. Mark Warner.” In the presidential race, Hanoverians cast 39,920 (67.63 percent) ballots for Mitt Romney, Obama’s Republican

challenger, with the president receiving 18,283 (30.97 percent) votes. The other candidates, Virgil Goode, Gary Johnson and Jill Stein, got 141 (0.24 percent), 469 (0.79 percent) and 123 (0.21 percent) votes, respectively. Write-in votes totaled 91 (0.15 percent). Nationwide, Obama garnered 1,893,740 (50.70 percent) of the vote, while Romney, Goode, Johnson and Stein took see DEMOCRATS, pg. 23

regarding environmental concerns. That dedication didn’t go unnoticed, and Department of Game and Inland Fisheries officials presented the school with its 10th recognition last week for their efforts in the Virginia Naturally program. More than 50 schools participate statewide, but few have achieved the consistent record like Pearson’s. “We’ve been doing this a long time,” said principal Stephen Smith. “We’ve worked hard in the areas of environmental education and conservation.” Fifth grade teacher Linda Painter took the lead on the project, and parents, teachers and students were willing participants in the various clean up and environmental projects. The kids have done everything from growing gardens to raising small fish for release in Virginia’s streams. “She’s the one who has really done the legwork on this,” Smith

BB FOR JERSEY will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 17, at Chickahominy Middle School.

Her mother, Jennifer, said, “It is just awesome how the community has rallied around her to achieve this. She has been going to local Hanover businesses to get the word out and she has even gone to county agencies for help.” She said her daughter “is really hoping to fill the truck with items for the people whose lives have been so devastated.”

said, adding that the benefits are long-term and far-reaching for the students. “Kids learn more about their environment when they can see it in action.” “It’s not just me. The whole school is involved in this program,” Painter said. Pearson’s Corner students also collaborate with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and fifth graders take field trips to the area to experience marine biology firsthand and close-up. “Some of the bay grasses growing in there were raised here,” Smith said. Painter said the school’s participation in the program began with the Bay Foundation partnership. “We really began when we partnered with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Each year we expand the program with more teachers trained, more outdoor activities and more environmental projects,” Painter said. Smith said the hands-on experience enhances the students’ experience and provides lasting lessons. “One year we grew cotton,”

in 1,782, 439 (47.72 percent), 13,482 (0.36 percent), 30,462, (0.82 percent) and 8,405 (0.23 percent). There were 6,882 (0.18 percent) write-in votes cast. Kaine bested George Allen, who was seeking a return to the seat he held before being defeated in 2008 by Jim Webb, with 1,933, 075 (52.45 percent) to 1,745,044 (47.35 percent) votes throughout the state. Write-in votes amounted to 7,319 (0.20 percent). Hanover County remained loyal to the Republican ticket by giving Allen 38,411 (65.63 percent) of the votes to Kaine’s 19,995 (34.16 percent). There were 119 (0.20 percent) writein votes. Republican incumbent U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor held on to he said. “It’s nice to talk about the cotton gin and the historical significance of cotton, but it means more when you actually see the cotton and what it takes to produce it.” Susan Gilley, wildlife education coordinator, administers the program for VDGIF and said Pearson’s Corner is a consistent winner in the statewide program. “We began this program 13

his seat with 222,429 (58.42 percent) to Democrat Wayne Powell’s 157,406 (41.34 percent) in the 7th District. Write-in votes totaled 886 (0.23 percent). “The 7th Congressional District Democratic candidate, Wayne Powell, was able to hold the vote for Eric Cantor below 60 percent, in a district gerrymandered to guarantee a 70 percent vote,” Silver said. “That’s progress and it tells Mr. Cantor that he must compromise if he wants to keep his seat.” “There is no doubt that Hanover is still a Republican county,” he continued, “but I am so proud of the Hanover Democratic Committee’s grassroots efforts.” According to Silver, volunteers greeted voters and distributed sample ballots at nearly all of the county’s 37 precincts.

“So I feel as though we are making headway and voters are beginning to realize that Democrats, not Republicans, represent the best interests of Hanover County citizens. And Virginians are beginning to realize that the GOP has become too extreme on many social issues and they are rejecting the intrusive nature of Republican policies,” Silver said. Toni Radler, the county Democratic committee’s vice chair of outreach, said, “In his first term, some made it their goal to oppose everything the president tried to do. For this go-round, I hope both parties can stop fighting and get something done for our country. And locally, I hope we can all will turn our backs on the fearmongers and the rumor mills, and use our intellect to go forward.”

years ago, and Pearson’s Corner is the fifth school to make it to 10 years,” Gilley said. She said many activities supported by the program are directly correlated with Virginia’s Standards of Learning (SOLs). “All of this is related to the standards,” she said. “This is a better way of learning. Handson is always better.”

And the students are the real winners at Pearson’s Corner, and often can see the benefits before they leave the campus. “We have a fruit orchard out back,” Painter said. “Hopefully, in the next few years we’ll start to get some fruit off them and students who planted the seeds in kindergarten will reap the fruits of their labor as fifth graders.”

Yellow Jackets run over Hampden-Sydney

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local HA M P DE N - SY DN EY – Hampden-Sydney broke its share of big plays, but in the end Randolph-Macon broke its long-time rival’s hopes for a happy end to the season with consistent play. In what was billed as the “The Game,” the Yellow Jackets wore down the Tigers at Fulton Field Saturday to claim a 4131 victory and a second-place finish in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference football standings at the end of both teams’ season. In a clash of flash versus fundamentals, the fundamentals – running, passing, and defense – seized the day. The Tigers, boosted by quarterback Nash Nance’s 307 yards passing and 118 yards rushing, had 497 yards total offense. The Yellow Jackets’ total yardage was more modest with just 428, but they excelled in one key area: third down conversions. Randolph-Macon made good on 10-of-16 third down conversions compared to just 2of-8 for Hampden-Sydney. The Yellow Jackets (7-3, 5-2 ODAC) were especially solid on foot. Running back Will McGhee led all rushers with 32 carries for 173 yards and a touchdown. He had good backup from Vance Hendren, with eight carries for 50 yards and two touchdowns. “We knew we had to establish the running game,” said Randolph-Macon quarterback

It was an all-around good game.” Naccarato hit his share of passes, too. He completed 17of-20 passes for 163 yards and a touchdown. One of his favorite targets was wide receiver Luke Sellers, who caught seven passes for 60 yards. Sellers also played a key role in sealing the victory for Randolph-Macon. The Tigers closed to within 10 points, 41-31, of the Yellow

Jackets on a 58-yard touchdown pass from Nance to Horton Walker with two minutes remaining. As the two teams lined up for the ensuing kickoff, Randolph-Macon coach Pedro Arruza, called a timeout and discussed what he expected would be coming – and onside kick. “He just told us to catch the ball and secure it, and get down and don’t let anybody try to strip it from us,” Sellers said. The onside kick came, hitting the ground just in front of the Randolph-Macon line and bouncing high in the air above

Sellers. Sellers leapt up, reached out and snagged the ball, then dropped to the ground. “I knew that the spot I was in the ball was probably going to come to me,” Sellers said. “We work on that stuff all week in practice and work on catching the ball. I just knew that if the ball came my way I had to get up, get the ball, hit the ground and cover it up.” By then, the Tigers (6-4, 4-3) had exhausted all their timeouts. All Naccarato had to do was wait as long as possible to snap the ball, step back two yards, and drop to his knee.

“They were more hungry than we were,” said HampdenSydney receiver Holton Walker, who finished with seven catches for 133 yards and a touchdown. “We came out a little flat, and the tables turned quick.” Hampden-Sydney coach Marty Favret said the Tigers never got their rhythm, which cost them as the time ran out. “We didn’t have the ball.

That hurt. So we had trouble getting a rhythm,” Favret said. “In the third quarter we didn’t score. We left some points on the table. Then we make a big play to get back in the game, and they responded with a good drive.” Nance said the Tigers were their own worst, enemy. “I think we were just stopsee GAME, pg. 43 `

C-feds lock up #1 seed in oﬀensive showdown Simpson and Rogers amass 574 yards in Lee-Davis win By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local When Lee-Davis and Atlee – two of the most potent offenses in the Capital District – met on the Raiders’ home field Friday night, it was safe to expect a mad mashup of yardage and points. But no one expected anything like what actually happened. The two teams combined for more than 1,000 yards total offense as the Confederates, ranked No. 8 in the TimesDispatch poll, ground down a stubborn Atlee squad 61-48. Lee-Davis clinched the top seed in the Central Region Division 5 playoffs this Friday. The Raiders (7-3, 4-2 Capital) will host Hanover, which trounced Glen Allen 54-8 Friday night. The Confederates’ Chris Simpson and Deshaun Rogers accounted for nearly 600 yards total offense between them. Simpson carried the ball 35 times for 311 yards and four touchdowns. Rogers had 22 carries for 263 yards and four touchdowns. “I give all my credit to the line,” Simpson said. “They’re fantastic.” Simpson and Rogers both pounded away on the inside and found breathing room outside alternately chewing up time and then yardage as they kept the Raiders on their heels. Simpson was usually the main target of Atlee’s defense, but when Rogers entered the backfield, the Raiders struggled to figure out which back to key on. “That’s been the plan,” Rogers said. “We’ve been holding that back for games like this. We know, ‘We’re going to key

on Chris, we’re going to key on Chris,’ but when you put me in the backfield, you don’t know who to key on. You don’t know where the ball is going.” Finishing the season as the top seed in the Division 5 playoffs came as something as a surprise to the Confederates. “We were not expecting that at all,” Simpson said. “This is great. We like it!” Simpson said their tripleovertime loss to Highland Springs gave the Confederates something of a boost as the regular season wound down. “I think we grew,” Simpson said. “I think we got a lot more confident. We knew we could hang in with the best. I think we proved it tonight.” Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson was impressed by Lee-Davis. “They’ve got a good ball club,” Johnson said. “They’re hard to stop. They get foot-tofoot and they pound you.” Atlee (5-5, 3-4) was led by quarterback Kenner Berry, who completed 19-of-23 passes for 248 yards and three touchdowns. Morris Jackson had 25

carries for 152 yards and three touchdowns. Jackson finished the season with 2031 rushing yards in nine games. The loss dashed Atlee’s hopes for a playoff berth. The Raiders are already thinking about next year. “We’ve got to regroup,” Johnson said. “Thank goodness we have the majority of our guys coming back. I’m happy for that. We’ve got to get better in the off-season and we’ll see what happens from there.” The first half was mostly a tit-for-tat affair, with both teams trading touchdowns and finishing the first 12 minutes with a 21-21 tie. The Confederate offense began to take control in the second quarter, taking a 3521 lead, but Berry, in a scramble in the final minute of the half, connected on four straight passes to drive the Raiders for 67 yards and a touchdown with a 14-yard pass to Chad Jacob with 10 seconds remaining. In the fourth quarter, the Confederates extended their lead to as much as 20 points

twice, but the Raiders would not fade into the night, fighting back and staying within striking distance of Lee-Davis. But the clock doomed Atlee’s rally hopes in the end. In a drive that began early in the fourth quarter, the Confederates took their time driving 86 yards and scoring on an 11-yard run by Simpson. The score gave them their first 20-point lead, 55-35, with 5:27 left. The Raiders wasted no time striking back driving 50 yards and scoring on a 23-yard run by Jackson a minute later. Lee-Davis ran off more than two of the final four minutes on another scoring drive of 51 yards, capped by a 15yard run by Rogers. Again the Confederates had a 20-point lead, 61-41. But the Raiders would not quit, responding with a 53-yard scoring drive that ended in an 8-yard touchdown pass from Berry to Chad Jacob with 14 seconds left. Atlee had used up its last two timeouts on its final scoring drive, so when Lee-Davis began the last possession with 13 sec-

A night of ﬁrsts and lasts for county volleyball Lee-Davis and Atlee make history in regional ﬁnale

www.mechlocal.com See slideshow online!

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Regardless of which teams reached the Central Region girls volleyball championship, the match was destined to go down in history. The 2012 contest will forever be remembered as the final time two teams faced off in the soon to be defunct Central Region. But Atlee and Lee-Davis made the night even more memorable. For the past decade, the Capital District has been known for producing top notch teams. The girls volleyball programs at Hanover and Atlee have excelled to the point where they are considered an annual threat for the region crown. However, it has always been Hanover or Atlee, rarely have both teams been among the region’s elite during the same season. Never has two Capital District teams been good enough to reach the regional final. Leave it to the outsider to make things interesting. Virtually everyone expected the experienced and talented Raider squad to contend for their third consecutive regional title. No one expected Lee-Davis to be the team they faced. That includes Confederates’ head coach Sharon Gaston. “I thought we’d be good but I really didn’t look past qualifying for regionals,” Gaston said. “That was our main goal.” Coming into the season, simply reaching the regional tournament was a lofty aim in itself for Lee-Davis considering recent years. Still, the Confederates were talented and had shown great growth under the leader-

ship of Gaston, so setting the goal was not without merit. But to go further? Unthinkable- especially when the Confederates opened regionals at perennial powerhouse Mills Godwin. It took five sets in the raucous Eagle gym but Lee-Davis came away as victors. “The girls ate it up,” Gaston said. “They responded very well to that.” In the semifinals, the Confederates faced an equally talented Cosby squad. Lee-Davis fell in a quick 0-1 hole but battled back to win three straight and earned the school’s first berth in the state tournament. “The girls worked hard and they knew what was at stake and they just emotionally, mentally, physically- they put it all out there,” Gaston said. Who can the C-feds thank for their success? Atlee should be at the top of the list. After coming away with victory in the season opening Showcase Tournament, the Raiders have been considered

the team to beat in the state. Lee-Davis now has six losses on the season. Only two of those were to teams not named Atlee. “The Capital District went out so strong,” Gaston said. “I think I said the other night, the teams in our district really pushed us and it was just a strong district and I think we were able to prove that just from the outcome of regionals.” The Confederates were not the only ones celebrating their presence in the regional championship. There was plenty of support on the other side the net as well. “It was great,” said Atlee senior outside hitter Karlie Suber. “It’s always great to see our district do well because no one ever believes in our district. Everyone thinks it’s just a walk through. But we made it here and Lee-Davis did too and we’re really proud of them. They’re a great team and great competitors.” Senior Hailey Brooks agreed. “We weren’t expecting to see them in the finals but we were

happy, see our district doing well,” she said. Both squads were happy to prove that the Capital District is stronger than just a single team. “It is special to me because we’re in the same district and that’s never been done,” said Atlee head coach Curtis Carpenter. “Everybody thinks that we’re weak district but we proved that wrong.” Overshadowed by Lee-Davis’ first time success was the regional three-peat by an Atlee squad looking to make more history of their own. “So far we’re setting history with the last Capital District Tournament champion. The last Central Region Tournament champions,” Carpenter said. “It would be nice to win the last AAA State title too.” Reaching the state championship will not be a cakewalk for either squad. In fact, the first round matchups for Atlee and Lee-Davis could be the four best teams in the tournament facing off. Atlee hosts Ocean Lakes on

Tuesday night while Lee-Davis travels to Kellam. “Both of us are going to play a great team no matter what,” Brooks said. “It’s actually unfortunate that we have to play them the first round because a good team’s going to be knocked out the first round either way.” Still, if both Atlee and LeeDavis can survive their first round games, the Siegel Center semifinals would most like provide the atmosphere to boost both into the championship match for their fifth meeting of the season. “That would be kind of cool wouldn’t it?” Gaston said. “I wouldn’t put it past my girls. I think they were a little spent tonight but they’ve come out every time when they’ve had a challenge and said ‘We’ve got nothing to lose, we’re going to go out there and play and they’ve had a fun time doing it. I wouldn’t surprised at this point with the girls.” Carpenter agreed. “That would be awesome wouldn’t it?” he said. “An All-Central All-Capital District finals? That would be pretty cool. “I wish them luck and if they keep playing like they are

they can go far. They’re a good team.” Carpenter pointed out that Lee-Davis not only has a talented team but good leadership on the bench. “She’s a good coach,” he laughed. “She worked for me.” No. 1 HERMITAGE 42, PATRICK HENRY 0 Derrick Green rushed for 82 yards and two touchdowns as Hermitage shut out Patrick Henry 42-0 to cap an undefeated regular season on Friday night.

Second half eﬀort brings victory for Cavs, 27-13 By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com On Friday night, King William hosted Madison County (5-5) in their Division 2, Region B East playoff opener. The Cavaliers shrugged off a stagnant first half to eventually down the visiting Mountaineers 27-13 and advance to the division quarterfinals. “I think we could have scored more had we not had all the penalties and shot ourselves in the foot,” said King William head coach Jim Henderson. “We moved the ball pretty good tonight. We had as many yards tonight as we’ve had in games where we scored 50 and 60 points. We just gotta capitalize inside the red zone.” Fans at Cavalier Stadium, were probably a bit surprised to

watch the home team struggle in the first half. The normally explosive Cavalier offense was limited to a single field goal and trailed the visiting The Mountaineers 7-3 at the half. Madison County’s defensive strategy keyed in on Cavs’ quarterback Freeman McPhearson and effectually shut down his running game. In the game, McPhearson was limited to 22 yards on four carries. In some ways the conclusion of the game came down to strategy as well. Henderson was confident in his teams’ ability to mix in passing plays designed to thin out the Mountaineer defense. With the passing and running threat of McPhearson, Henderson made full use of it to keep the defense spread out. “That was the game plan,”

Henderson said. “We thought with what we’ve been doing lately, running the football, we thought they were going to stack the box and they took the run away from us. That was one of the few times this year that we struggled running the football, so what we did is say, ‘Alright, we’ll get it out to these play makers on the outside.’ They can catch the ball. And they did.” Contributing to the Cavs’ 131 yards total receiving were Austin Simons (3 catches for 33 yards); Da’Monn Robinson and McPhearson, both 2-for25; Jason Gresham (1-for-17); Daniel McGehee (1-for-14), and Jamal Johnson (1-for-10). “They went out and made some plays and what it did was stretch them (Mountaineers) out,” Henderson said.

The passing success turned the contest into one of constant adjustment for Henderson and his coaches. “Then we were able to run; and then they’d stack back in; and we had to stretch them out again. So, it was just a chess match going back and forth with that; but that’s the great thing about having Freeman is that he can handle that.” That allowed running backs Shawn Chandler (12 carries for 194 yards), Camarjae Peatross (7 - 49), and Dre Smith (4 38) to execute ground gains that totaled up a victory. “I was very pleased with the way Chandler ran the football; and kick myself in the butt for not letting him run more,” Henderson said. “(That’s bad coaching by me.) Dre Smith

came in there. He’s a kid that had eight carries on the year, and probably had three or four tonight. He had half his carries that he had all season tonight; and he popped a few big runs for us. That’s very pleasing. And of course, Camarjae and Chandler have been doing it all year. [The Mountaineers] were able to key in on 16 (McPhearson) a little bit, so that took away from his carries but we were still able to come out with a win and that’s all that matters.” On the night, McPhearson was 10-of-15 for 106 yards and had no problem handing off the ball to his backs to move his team downfield. “When [coach] said we were hitting the holes by Shawn and everything, we wanted to keep pounding and pounding…make them think

we were going to run, then throw a couple more,” McPhearson said. “Make them spread back out, then pound it again with Shawn.” King William kicker Spencer Keaton got the Cavaliers on the scoreboard with a 22-yard field goal in the second quarter. Keaton also added another 22-yarder in the third quarter. “I’m very pleased with our kicker tonight,” Henderson said. “If you saw us the first week of the season, he missed six extra points. And now it’s a kid where, yeah, we missed an extra point tonight but it got blocked, I don’t think it was a great snap and all kinds of stuff; but he hit two field goals tonight. He’s really stepped his game up a lot.” see CAVS, pg. 47 `

Yellow Jackets boast youth and talent R-MC will look to Cole and Giggetts for leadership By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com There’s a lot for the RandolphMacon men’s basketball team to be optimistic about coming into the 2012-13 season. With a bulk of talent returning from a squad that finished 21-7 last year, the Yellow Jackets earned a No. 24 preseason ranking in the D3hoops.com. R-MC was also voted third best in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference,

lofty recognition for arguably the best Division III basketball league in the nation. Virginia Wesleyan earned the league’s top slot and a No. 2 national ranking while Hampden-Sydney was voted the ODAC’s second best squad a No. 25 ranking on D3hoops. com. Remarkably, R-MC has earned the esteem with a roster see COLE, pg. 45 ` File photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local

Randolph-Macon seniors Dylan Cole, left, and Lamar Giggetts, right, will provide a solid foundation to this year’s Yellow Jacket squad.

Randolph-Macon women’s basketball will have a decided local ﬂavor this season By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last season the RandolphMacon women’s basketball team was young. This year they are really young. The team has only four upper classmen with Madison Dulaney as the squad’s only senior. The 2012-13 Yellow Jackets will have three sophomores and five freshmen on their roster. However, lack of experience has not dampened the spirits of R-MC head coach Carroll LaHaye who is entering her 31st season with the Yellow Jackets. Where others see youth, LaHaye sees familiarity. “I’m pretty excited about this class,” she said. “This class is a lot like the 2002-2003 team and actually the entire team reminds me of that particular year in terms of the mix of personalities and skill level.” The 2002-03 team featured a newcomer named Megan Silva

who two years later led R-MC into the national championship game. Learning fast will be key to this year’s R-MC squad as they look to replace 41 points per game that came from graduating seniors Molly Brown, Jillian Asay, Maggie Roy and Taylor Wieczorek. The Yellow Jackets suffered a further blow when sophomore guard Sarah Parsons suffered a severe ankle break during the off season. As a freshman point guard, Parsons averaged 14.6 points per game, shot 35.8 percent from 3-point range and pulled down 3.9 rebounds per game. Parsons underwent surgery that included the placement of a metal plate in her ankle and she has yet to practice with the team. Parson’s physical therapist projected she would not return until after New Years but Parsons doubled her rehab

Clockwise from left: Randolph-Macon has a bright future with a talented group of sophomores who look to make major contributions this season. Forward Chris Hamilton provides long-range shooting while guard Trent Walker (22), Connor Sullivan (24) and Marcus Badger (3) bring ball-handling, scoring and defense to the floor. Forward Joe Hassell will enter his first season of play at R-MC as a player to watch, with speed, scoring and passing. At right: Junior Andre Simon is bottled excitement. The athletic power forward regularly brings fans to their feet with spectacular plays on offense and defense.

that boasts only four upper classmen, two seniors and two juniors. Center Dylan Cole and guard/forward Lamar Giggetts are both returning starters from last year and the only seniors on this season’s squad. Both will be invaluable to the team’s success throughout this year. R-MC head coach Nathan Davis believes Giggetts should be in the running for the league’s top player awards by season’s end. There are better scorers, rebounders, assist men and defensive players in the ODAC. But Giggetts, who averaged 12.2 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last season, does it all well. “You combine all the things he does and I’m not sure you’re find a better player all around in our league than he is,” Davis said. Cole (6.6 ppg, 3.9 rpg) has devel-

oped into the solid backbone of the squad and Davis feels Yellow Jacket fans are going to get a chance to see the former Hanover Hawk at the top of his game this season. “This is the best he’s played in four years,” Davis said. “He’s certainly shown an understanding of it’s his last opportunity to compete and play and he needs to step up and he’s certainly done that.” Junior forward Andre Simon once again brings incredible athleticism to the floor. Simon’s (11.6 ppg, 6.0 rpg) was the first player off the bench last year and he is best known for his drives to the hoop. Few players can match his raw physical talent. Junior guard Jamie Robinson came into his own last season averaging 5.6 ppg in 16 minutes per game. Robinson helped usher in the outstanding group of sophomore guards, Marcus Badger, Trent Walker and Connor Sullivan. Together, the foursome developed into a group of unmatched ball handlers. Davis believes Badger and Walker were unquestionably the top freshman guards in the ODAC last season and should be considered among the league’s top five guards this year. As a starter last season, Badger averaged 4.4 ppg and 3.5 assists per game. Sullivan is the best returning outside shooter on the squad. “He might be, of all our guys, the best combination guy who can shoot the ball and create shots off the dribble,” Davis said.

Sullivan also surprised Davis with his ability to defend as a freshman. Sophomore forward Chris Hamilton only saw action in nine games last season but that should change this year after shooting 40 percent from 3-point range as a freshman. Fellow forward Evan Jackson (Deep Run) will be most valuable on defense. “He’s as good of a defender as you’re going to find,” Davis said. “He gets after it.” Forward Akeem Holmes (King William) showed versatility in the post last season and continued to improve as the year went on. “He brings certain things to the table that no one else can do,” Davis said. “He’s probably our best rebounder. He can stretch the floor a little bit, then he shoots it pretty well. I think his future is very bright.” Joe Hassell is another sophomore forward that excites Davis. “He can step out and shoot it. He can also put the ball on the floor and is an excellent passer.” Hassell reminds the coach of former R-MC standout Danny Jones. Seven-foot sophomore center Hunter Fromang will be the wildcard piece in this year’s puzzle. Fromang logged time in only eight games last year but greatly improved his game during the off season. “I thought he had improved as much as anyone had here from the time he arrived,” Davis said. Fromang had improved his foot-

work and build to a point where he could possibly play 20 minutes a game in certain situations. However, Fromang underwent back surgery during the fall and Davis is uncertain when he will be able to return. It would be hard for Davis to top the freshman class he brought in last season but he appears equally excited about what newcomers Vincent Miles, Braeshaun Dozier and Lamont Moore have to offer. “Braeshaun might be the best shooter in our program,” Davis said. “Might be the best natural scorer.” In a scrimmage against Mary Washington, Dozier scored 20 points in one half. “Lamont is a long, athletic player, very smart, excellent passer.” Davis said Moore’s shot has improved substantially over his senior year in high school. The 5-11 Miles will bring speed to the floor. “Probably the fastest player in the program,” Davis said. “Good in the open court and is getting to be a pest defensively, especially when you start picking up full court.” The Yellow Jackets will get no time to gradually ease into the season. They open the season at CNU (12th in also receiving votes D3hoops.com) then travel to Ownings Mill, Md. on Nov. 17-18 to face No. 16 Transylvania and #19 St. Mary’s Md. in the Hoopsville National Invitational Classic. “If you want to be good you’ve got

to play good people,” Davis said. His philosophy is the same as RMC legendary coach Hal Nunnally. “You don’t want the best team you play to be the best team in your league,” Davis said. “In our league that’s hard to find…So, you’ve got to go out and challenge yourself.” The Yellow Jackets’ only play two home games before Christmas and their first contest in Crenshaw Gym on Nov. 28, is also their ODAC opener as they host Lynchburg. 2012-13 ODAC PREASON POLL (#) Denotes First Place Votes 1.

Somewhat overshadowed by Parson’s dynamic play last season, sophomore guard Kellie Cortina was a regular starter by late in the year. Likewise, after an injury-riddled career, Dulaney is healthy and looking to excel during her final season in Ashland. LaHaye will also look to work in a trio of standout freshmen guards; Khajae Hester, Hannah Livermon and Nicole Freeman. LaHaye believes Hester is a natural point guard. “She loves to run the show and she can run the show,” the coach said. “She pushes the ball up the court very well and looks for her shooters. She’s just going to be somebody that’s going to get a lot of playing time.” Freeman is a two-dimensional guard. “She’s got a nice outside shot, and she’s very aggressive attacker so we’ve got to utilize some of those strengths from her,” LaHaye said. Liverman, out of Powhatan High School, also brings an aggressive playing style to the floor. At the forward position, 5-11 Katie Anderson should continue to excel as she did during her time at Patrick Henry. LaHaye expects to utilize Anderson’s talents in the post this season. “She has some great moves,”

LaHaye said. “She uses her size well.” Another newcomer who should contribute in the post is 5-11 freshman forward Lauren Vugteveen. “She’s a very quick, agile and mobile post player, loves to run the floor and she can run the floor,” LaHaye said. The post is where Randolph-Macon returns its most experience with a trio of juniors 6-2 center Lyndsey Sharman along with 5-10 forwards Paige Mills and Christina Phelps. Phelps, who battled injuries throughout last season, is back healthy and provides shooting range, speed and defense. Mills worked hard on her game and trimmed down during the off season. Mills proved to be a stabilizing presense in the post last year. Sharman brings size as the only true back-to-the-basket player on the team. Also, 6-0 sophomore forward Caroline Young will be looked upon to contribute more this season. LaHaye looks to utilize more team speed this season but the biggest question is who will the team turn to for scoring. “Right now that’s what we’ve been challenging them with in practice,” she said. Other than Parsons, no returning player was a significant offensive threat last season. “We’ve told them it’s wide open,”

LaHaye said. “’Step up, be a scorer, be a threat, be someone who can put the ball in the basket consistently and we’ll rely on you a lot’.” This year’s team will also be unique due to its local flavor. Parsons (J.R. Tucker), Anderson (Patrick Henry), Vugteveen (Amelia Acad.- Midlothian) and Livermon (Powhatan) give the Yellow Jackets more local players than they accustomed to. “Hopefuly that will draw some basketball fans from local areas and see a good product,” LaHaye said.

CAVS Continued from pg. 43 b

Mountaineer running back Logan Carpenter scored on a 1-yard run to give Madison County a 7-3 lead heading into the locker room. In the second half, Chandler finally carried the Cavaliers into the endzone on a 35-yard run. “I think the line gets the glory tonight for everything that happened and all the rushing yards that we had,” Chandler said. “It was a little shaky at first, but we got it together and we pulled through; and we came together as a team. We just kind of came together and listened to what our coaches told us to do and executed.” Peatross scored on a 5-yard touchdown run and Keaton added his second field goal to put the Cavs up 19-7. Carpenter found the endzone for the second time on a 21-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter but King William answered when McPhearson connected with Simons for a 6yard score. Holding a big team like Madison County to 13 points, speaks volumes for the Cavs’ defense. “Brandon Jackson,

Barton Stone, Jayvon Temple and TJ Young--they played their butts off up front,” Henderson said. “Against a team that’s that big, we needed to use our speed. You can say you control the line of scrimmage with big guys, but we control it with fast guys as well. So, I think we’ve got a pretty good combination with some of our guys with speed and size. We were able to win that battle tonight. “I thought our kids came out and did really well tonight on the defensive side of the ball, Henderson said. “We may have been oversized but I don’t think we were overmatched at all. We played our butts off out front.” This Friday, King William hosts Manassas Park (8-3) who advanced with a 64-17 win over Nandua.

Midlo girls take third, boys second in AAA cross country By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times Dispatch Chantilly’s Sean McGorty set a course record when he crossed the line in 14 minutes, 47 seconds to claim the Group AAA boys cross country title at Great Meadow Park on Saturday afternoon. Sophie Chase from Lake Braddock didn’t set a course record, but won in dominating fashion as both helped their schools win state championships. Midlothian was the only Central Region school to place in the top five in the team standings as the boys finished second, and the girls ended up third behind Oakton. Kara Dickerson was upset during the awards ceremonies after finishing fourth with a time of 18 minutes, 2 seconds and learning of where the Trojans had placed. “We all just really wanted it,” Dickerson said. “It’s just disappointing from both an individual and team aspect, because I knew I was capable of being in the top three. And also because we knew how confident Lake Braddock was coming in, and we just really wanted to take it to them.” The Trojans tied Oakton for second with 101 points, but fell

to third on a tiebreaker involving the teams’ sixth-fastest runners. Grace Steward placed 43rd for Oakton in 20:00, and freshman Madison Carpenter was 47th in 20:03 for the Trojans. “Anytime you make the podium, it’s something to be proud of,” Midlothian coach Stan Morgan said. “I told the kids and told myself that if everyone just ran to their fullest potential, we’d have a shot. Sometimes it just doesn’t happen like that, and today was one of those days.” Mills Godwin’s Katherine Benfer earned all-state honors by finishing eighth (18:25). “My goal this year was to be all-state,” Benfer said. “I’m happy to finish where I ended up. This was a pretty tough course.” Rachel Galton of Maggie Walker also earned all-state recognition by finishing 12th in 18:33. “I’m happy to be all-state again this year,” Galton said. “I started out a little fast, and I was able to keep with the lead pack there for most of the race. But then they just pulled ahead at the end.” Chase won with a time of 17:24. Sean Willard’s fifth-place finish helped Midlothian place second in the boys division. Willard led a good portion of

the race before McGorty made his move for the record books. The thick grass and steep hills at Great Meadow were a tough test for all the runners. But as Willard felt himself slipping out of contention for the win, words shouted at him from the stands were motivation to get him to the finish. “I wasn’t surprised I was leading the lead pack,” Willard said. “I felt good. I was just praying to God I could hold on, but I felt myself slipping a little bit at the end. I just heard my dad yell, ‘This is what you’ve worked for all year. Don’t let it go to waste.’ That just stuck with me, and I was able to kick at the end to still make the top five.” Douglas Freeman’s Ronnie Calkins finished 12th to earn all-state recognition. “I’m happy with it,” he said. “I said at the beginning of the year I wanted to be all-state. A top 10 would have been nice, but there were just a lot of other great runners out there.” Central Region boys champion Nathaniel Hall had a fever in the days following last weekend’s region meet. Because of that, he took a few days off from training to recuperate. Hall narrowly missed the top 15, as he was passed by Albemarle’s Ryan Thomas in the final steps and

finished 16th. “Being sick and having to take the days off I think didn’t help,” Hall said. “My mind was in it, and I really thought I stood a chance at being in the top three. But my breathing was just off from being sick, and it just killed me there at the end.” Both Atlee boys and girls teams finished 13th in the meet. Sophomore Tre Fields finished with a time of 16:53 followed by seniors Griffin Carmichael (16:57), Bizz Alidost (17:18), Michael Spagnolo (17:18), junior Dylan Richeson (17:44) and senior Matthew Peery (17:51). Lee-Davis junior Paul Adam finished 29th with a time of 16:10 while teammate Grayson Morgan came in with a time of 16:25. Sophomore Chloe Bavin led the Raider girls with a 28th place finish and a time of 19:29. Juniors Katt Grasberger (20:20) and Scarlett Bavin (20:36) were followed by freshman Logan Shearon (20:47), junior Katie Gardner (20:58), senior Paige Harrar (20:58) and junior Julia Fraser (21:13). Patrick Henry junior Amy Dunham came in 59th with a time of 19:53 while teammate Malina Richardson finished with a time of 20:38.

R-MC volleyball falls to #5 CNU in NCAA 2nd round

On Oct. 26, I was once again fortunate enough to get a 3 by 3 Bull Elk (pictured above). Submitted by Jimmy Creech

Contributed report – The Randolph-Macon College Volleyball team saw its fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Division III Tournament come to an end on Saturday evening with a 3-2 loss to No. 5 Christopher Newport. R-MC (24-7) came out firing in game one and took advantage of 11 CNU (38-2) errors to win 25-19. The Jackets found themselves down 18-16 following a kill by the Captains’ Bailey Jensen. Riley Martin set up Courtney Lowers for a kill on the next point and sparked what proved to be a 9-1 R-MC run to

end the game. Christopher Newport connected on 15-of-37 attempts with just one error (.378) in game two en route to a 25-18 win. CNU then took advantage of nine hitting errors by Randolph-Macon and were able to connect for nine winners of their own to take a 25-21 win in game three and go up 2-1 in the match. With the score tied at 19-19 in game four, R-MC got an ace from Jessica Sears and a pair of kills from Lowers to take a 22-19 advantage. The Captains battled back to tie the game at 22-22. R-MC

then led 24-23, but a Jensen kill would even the things at 24-24. Mallory Carter put R-MC out in front 25-24 and the Jackets would close the game out on the next point to even the match at 2-2. In the fifth and deciding game, play was tight in the early stages with CNU taking a slim 8-7 lead. A Sears kill and a pair of hitting errors by the Captains pushed Randolph-Macon in front 10-8. CNU was able to rally, winning seven of the final nine points to win 15-12 and the match 3-2.

Carter finished with a matchhigh 20 kills on 60 attempts. The senior finishes her career with 1,422 kills which is eighth alltime in ODAC history. Lowers recorded a career-high 17 kills on 32 chances. Hillary Jessee added eight kills, while Tori Puryear had six. Martin finished with 30 assists and Bailey Troia had 24 helpers. Libero Marli Dabareiner led four Jackets in double-digit digs with 28. Sears had 21 stops, while Carter had 13 and Troia added 10. Puryear finished the match with three solo blocks and seven block assists.
