Christmas Mother: the need increases By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com

When the streets of the village of Mechanicsville are filled with participants and spectators for the annual Christmas Parade, smiles also are plenty. And those coming out for Sunday’s event can expect to see the holiday spirit, with floats, bands and community leaders. The parade will kick off at 3 p.m.

‘Memories of Christmas’ theme of parade By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com “Memories of Christmas” will fill the village of Mechanicsville at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2, when the 14th Annual Parade makes its way through the streets. More than 1,500 people will participate in the parade. Included are floats, bands, clown acts, singers, vintage cars, old tractors, fire trucks, and, of course, Santa Claus. This year’s Grand Marshal will be Richmond Flying Squirrels’ Nutzy. The Mechanicsville Rotary Club and the Mechanicsville

Yes, Santa Claus will be coming to town to take part in the 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 2, Mechanicsville Christmas Parade in the village.

Ruritan Club join each year to bring fun and joy to all.

The route will kick off at Hanover Green Drive and Signal Hill Road, proceed through the Windsor Subdivision, down Atlee Road onto Mechanicsville Turnpike and conclude at the Christmas tree at the Windmill. At the end of the parade, Santa will depart his sleigh, sponsored by the Hanover Fire Department, to light the Christmas tree. At the tree lighting, Santa will be available to talk to children. The Rotary and Ruritan clubs will provide refreshments from their mobile concession see PARADE, pg. 4

acqueline Harris said she was hesitant when she first was approached about serving as the 2012 Hanover Christmas Mother. However, after learning about the growing need in the county, she agreed to be “the face” of the program spearheaded by the Doswell Ruritan Club. “I didn’t know what it entailed,” the Beaverdam resident said. “I’m sort of a private person, and I was just a little hesitant.” Talking about the experience last week at her home, she smiled and said, “It’s been a ball. “I have thoroughly enjoyed it.” The reality part of the position has been eye-opening for her. In a troubled economy, the Christmas Mother program has seen the number of those in need continue to rise the past few years. In 2011, Harris said, they helped 865 families, an increase of 85 from 2010. Of those families, 1,773 children were included, an increase of 134. To ensure a Merry Christmas throughout Hanover County, the Ruritansponsored program gives out gift cards for

clothes, medicine for senior citizens, and cards for food. Harris was nominated by a friend, Peggy Morris. She has become a familiar face as she shares the message of the Christmas Mother program and the need for donations and support. She will join the holiday fun on Sunday as part of the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade. Her agenda has included the Ashland Christmas Parade, Covenant Woods, Slash Church, Doswell Ruritan Club dinner, a gospel sing, Beaverdam Ruritan Club, AARP lunch, Mechanicsville Ruritan Club, Santa Breakfast in Rockville, tree lighting in Doswell and Hanover Country Club. She had the opportunity to meet the other Christmas Mothers from the Greater Richmond area at a luncheon at the Richmond TimesDispatch. Harris also will be helping the Ruritans when see NEED, pg. 4

Love to Mike raised nearly $24,000 to help Mike Dixon, who suffered a traumatic brain injury last year. These are scenes from the October event that attracted more than 100 people.

Beneﬁt for man who suﬀered brain injury nets $24,000 Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Love to Mike, a benefit for Mike Dixon, who suffered at traumatic brain injury a year ago, attracted more than 100 people and raised more than $23,800 for the Mike Dixon Fund. The event was held on Saturday, Oct. 20, at Burkwood Swim & Racquet in Mechanicsville. A tennis tournament and lunch included a live band plus raffle prize drawings. Dixon was a very active tennis player at Burkwood. On Nov. 30, 2011, during his weekly clinic practicing the sport he loves, Dixon suffered a serious accident and sustained a traumatic

brain injury. He has had several surgeries to restore his eyesight and continues physical therapy and speech therapy. Dixon still has a long road to recovery ahead of him and funds were raised to help finance his continuing medical care. Donations can still be made to the “Mike Dixon Fund” care of EVB Bank. For more information, e-mail kcnoel@ comcast.net. Sponsors for the recent fundraiser included: Promac LLC; CTI Consultants Inc; Baker’s Kitchen; Richmond Camera; Roma Ristorante Italiano; Burkwood Swim & Racquet; Cherie’s Antique Emporium and C & F Bank.

Real estate ﬁrm seeks items for Sandy victims Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ERA Woody Hogg and Associates is reaching out to the community to seek items to be sent to the families that have been hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. Items can be dropped off at 9137 Chamberlayne Road in Mechanicsville on U.S. 301

OPINION | The Local Views

From the editor

Sad theme resonates as holidays kick oﬀ Just like the women who have served as the Hanover Christmas Mother the past few years, the 2012 representative reiterated an unfortunate theme: The numbers of those in need are on the rise. Jacqueline Harris, the 2012 Hanover Christmas Mother has been working tirelessly to bring attention to this most worthwhile project — as did her recent predecessors. With members of the Doswell Ruritan Club leading the charge, the Christmas Mother program brings holiday cheer to those in need during one of our most celebratory times of year. Thanks to the many donors (and a lengthy list is included in this week’s edition), young and old alike throughout Hanover County will enjoy Christmas 2012. This writer traveled to Beaverdam last week to meet with Mrs. Harris, who admits she was hesitant to accept the title and the responsibility it carries, beamed with excitement and the knowledge of a Merry Christmas coming to so many of our neighbors. Yes, more of our fellow Hanoverians find themselves in need this holiday season, a situation many thought would never happen to them. Five years ago, they may have been donors. This year, they become recipients. In the good news department, we are a giving and caring community. And, without question, the Christmas Mother will continue the tradition of making it a Merry Christmas for all.

And we love a parade Guess who’s coming to town? If you said Santa Claus, then you win. Yes, jolly ol’ St. Nick will join in the fun and fellowship on Sunday when the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade gets underway at 3 p.m. in the village. Thanks to the Mechanicsville Rotary Club and Mechanicsville Ruritan Club, one of our favorite events of the year returns. See you there. Melody Kinser

Calling deism the same as atheism is like calling Islam the same as atheism – it’s easy to conflate the two when your goal is to discount and minimize any beliefs that conflict with your own. 143 Drum Point, Hartfield, VA WATERFRONT - Lovely

‘Wawa with the Law’

Photos submitted by Jessie O’Keeffe

The Hanover Pound at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland has this cat and dog for adoption. “Barney” is a 12-year-old tri-colored beagle. He is ready to retire from hunting and just enjoy life. He is very laid back and loves other dogs. He has been at the Hanover Pound since July. If you are looking for that older dog, he is it. He is up-to-date on all his shots and has been neutered. He is heartworm (negative). “Racetrack” is an 8-month-old black and white short hair kitten. He is one of a kind. He is so playful and fun to watch. He is unique, as he has a little head tilt most of the time -- but it doesn’t slow him down. He has been at the Hanover Pound since September. He is up-to-date on his shots and has been neutered. He is FELV (negative). For more information on adopting Barney and Racetrack, or any of the other animals at the Hanover Pound, call 365-6485. You also can visit the website to see other animals available for adoption at http://hanovercounty.animalshelternet.com/.

In support of Special Olympics Virginia, the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office participated in the “Wawa with the Law” event that was held from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 14, at the Wawa located at the intersection of U.S. 301 and Atlee Station Road. Sheriff’s Office personnel solicited $1 donations in exchange for icons, which were then placed on patrol vehicles in an attempt to “cover the cruiser.” As a result of these efforts, $527 was raised, all of which was donated directly to Special Olympics Virginia. Reserve Deputy Jim Legg is shown with a covered cruiser.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 8

relatively anti-Christianity statements and inferences in their diaries, letters to friends and other personal writings and acts. It also makes it easier to square my other point: That these founders were not only smart, thoughtful men, they were astute and careful politicians. We cannot forget that these men where just as much politicians as those we vote for today – they understood the political power of the pulpit and knew that presenting a good face to the various religious groups of the time was critical to their popularity and positions of influence and power. (Jefferson himself noted in one of his letters to Madison concerning the Bill of Rights that limiting the political power of the pulpit was a prime reason in his mind for the establishment clause of the 1st Amendment.) They were often quick to show in public statements and

official acts an affinity for the Christian religion that their more personal writings demonstrate clearly that they did not particularly believe or agree with in their hearts. In this respect, I know it’s easy to just ignore those things that run counter to your beliefs and cling to the ones that do – it’s easy, but quite intellectually dishonest. (That same intellectual dishonesty is mostly why the Republicans failed so miserably in seeing that the recent election was lost to them. When facts, science, math and history run counter to your beliefs, your religion teaches you to reject facts, science, math and history and cling tightly to your fantasy. For over 30 years the Republican party has been telling you to see your religion and your politics as tightly bound together, so it’s no wonder that when all the polling and statistical data told you the truth, you chose to ignore it and cling to the fantasy Rush, Beck and Fox News were spinning for you. Which didn’t work out so well, did it? Well, actually, it worked

out really well — for Rush’s, Beck’s and Fox’s wallet. Some of your historical references were inaccurate as well; several appeared to be straight out of David Barton’s pseudohistory theories. For example, Madison did indeed study with Dr. Witherspoon, but his studies had a primarily college-preparatory nature rather than a theological one, leading to his attending what is now Princeton University – in those days, many ministers were also teachers, often being the only people available with higher education. While in college Madison studied broadly, including philosophy, history, rhetoric and logic, mathematics, law, and languages – he did not concentrate on or extensively study religion beyond comparative philosophy and an interest in learning Hebrew as part of his love of languages. His views on religious freedom were in large part shaped by his witnessing

LETTERS Continued from pg. 15

the religious persecution that was common in many of the colonies in his younger days (true for many of the founders,) but his personal views on religion itself were as much shaped by his time as a protĂŠgĂŠ of Thomas Jefferson as they were in his earlier teaching. Finally, a word about Pinckney and the other founders you referenced. I will grant

you for the sake of argument that many of those men did good things for their churches and their faith is their lives. But raising all these other things they did at other times in their lives is just an attempt to cloud the central issue, which has always been about the founderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on framing the Constitution. The Declaration is an important document, but it was a declaration of war, not a governing document, and neither were the writings or works

of those or other founders before or after the Convention. Despite their attendance and their efforts during the hammering out of the Constitution, only a very few men actually had significant, meaningful influence (especially on the subject of religion) on the final contents of the Constitution itself: Adams, Franklin, Hamilton, Washington and the father of the Constitution, Madison. For all their other religiously-oriented works, that

boxwood wreaths. For those who just want to enjoy the event and not create, decorations will be sold for low prices. They are made by experts from area garden clubs. For an additional donation, folks can buy fully decorated wreaths, swags, tabletoppers created by design experts with all freshly cut greens. Shopping can be found in the old bunkhouse that becomes

The Bunkhouse Shoppe where new and vintage quality items are offered, as well as silver trays, pressed linens, and crystal dishes. The 1905 barn is heated with a wood stove, where hot chocolate, tea, coffee, cider and plates and plates full of homemade goodies are served. For more information, call 804-798-9131 or 804-5435765 or visit www.hilliardhouse.org.

Pinckney and the others you mentioned were ineffective in representing their faith during the Convention is clearly demonstrated in one simple fact: nowhere in the Constitution do the words â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jesusâ&#x20AC;? exist, and the only reference to religion in any form is Article 6, Section 3 where the Constitution forbids the use of religion as a means of qualifying anyone to work for the government.

Sargeant Reynolds Community College and Hanover County Public Schools, Hanover Fire/ EMS will again offer Firefighter 1 and 2 and EMT Basic classes at Hanover High School in the 2013-2014 school year.

Mechanicsville woman claims $2 mil lottery prize

Photographs of area babies who are celebrating their first Christmas will appear in the newspaper

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Elizabeth Haynes has a lot of patience. For more than six weeks, the Mechanicsville woman had a Powerball ticket worth $2 million in her possession. On Tuesday, Nov. 20, she presented the ticket to Lottery officials and became Virginia’s latest millionaire. Haynes matched the first five numbers in the Oct. 3 Powerball drawing. Normally that would win $1 million. However, she spent an extra dollar for Power Play, which doubled her prize to $2 million. She bought the winning ticket at the 7-Eleven at 8316 Meadowbridge Road in Mechanicsville. The winning numbers were 17-23-36-55-59 and the Powerball number was 10. She used Easy Pick and allowed the computer to randomly select the numbers on her ticket. She checked the winning numbers a few days after the drawing and discovered she had won big. “It was really exciting,” she

No Room at the Inn opens Friday 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 night of the Gala for $25. Online Gala ticket purchase instructions are: Go to the egiving option on the website and select “Guest Transaction.” Select the “other” button in the bottom right corner and type in “NRATI.” Enter the amount

($21 x number of tickets) and hit Continue. Fill in the appropriate information — name on card, type of card, card number, expiration and billing address. Hit continue. Fill in e-mail address and authorize the transaction. You will get a confirmation. Print and keep for your records. Your tickets will be available at the table (“will call”) on the night of the gala. Due to processing time involved, tickets should not be purchased this way after Nov. 23. Credit cards will be accepted

for auction item purchases on the night of the Gala. The Nativities Exhibit will be presented from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1, and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 2. The exhibit will include more than 250 hand-made, collectible, multi-cultural Nativity sets. The Children’s Area includes Nativity dress-up (with photos available for a nominal fee), crafts, books and touchable Nativity sets and more.

Hawks claim third region title in four years Hanover seniors accomplish rare football feat By Thomas C. Dozier for The Mechanicsville Local HOPEWELL — Former NFL Hall of Fame coach Vince Lombardi once said: “Individual commitment to a group effort is what makes a team work.” He went on to say further that “Football is like life, it requires perseverance, self-denial, hard work, sacrifice, dedication and respect for authority.” The seniors on the Hanover football team ripped a page from Lombardi’s playbook, taken each word to heart and accomplished what very few Central Region teams have ever done – win three region titles during their four-year tenure. Sam Rogers and Lawrence “LJ” Jones led a potent offense while Mike Holland, Donte Haynesworth, Usman Mahmood and all defensive backs, guided a suffocating defense as visiting Hanover handled Hopewell 35-7 in the Group AAA Central Region Division 5 championship game at Merner Field on Friday. “Most of our current seniors except for four of them dressed for that Central Region championship game [their freshman year],” Hanover coach Josh Just said about the region final in 2009. “But only Sam had a major role as a freshman. This senior group is outstanding. They work hard and for each other. The average GPA for this

class is a 3.5. “Sam’s leadership is very important to this team, along with the rest of the seniors,” Just added. “But I was really happy with how our juniors and sophomores stepped up tonight.” Just said that what makes this senior class special is its work ethic and attitude. “You couldn’t find a better group of players and they got us from a No. 4 seed to the region title.” On Friday, as temperatures started to drop in Hopewell, there wasn’t a better time for the defense to shine. The Hawks held the Blue Devils, who rolled up 47 points against Dinwiddie in the region semifinals, to 38 yards on the ground and 155 in the air, with 96 of those yards coming after the game was never in doubt. “Our defense did a great job tonight and it all started by the preparation and our defensive coordinator Brandon Brakstad having them ready,” Just said. “It all started with the play of our secondary, especially Mike Holland and Donte Haynesworth, they did a great job on coverage and were making all the calls.” It was fitting the team captains – Jones, Rogers and Andrew Knizner – accepted the region championship trophy at midfield and helped kickoff the post-game celebration. That saw the trophy get passed around like the Stanley Cup to each and every player. “We spend a lot of time preparing for games,” Holland explained. “Our coaching staff harps on preparation. So I think

we came in here prepared and ready to play. We have tried to take it one game at a time and we just don’t want our season to end.” Holland said he has a unique vantage point for watching some of his fellow seniors and marvels at a pair in the offensive backfield. “Sam Rogers is the best football player I have ever come in contact with and he conducts himself in a professional

manner on and off the field, I am honored to be his teammate. And LJ, who is still a little banged up and getting healthier, but he goes out there every week and runs hard.” Both teams did little on their first possession before Hanover began to display the defense that has only allowed 168 points in 12 games. Hanover, by virtue of two sacks by Stuart Mains and Earl Ross, won the battle of field

positioning and the Hawks took over on their second possession inside Hopewell territory, which became a trend. Four plays later Rogers, after completing a pair of passes to Mason Bazala en route, ran in from 6 yards out for the first score midway through the first quarter. Jacob Rozsahegyi converted the point-after attempt and gave the visitors the 7-0 lead. Rogers finished with 140 on the ground, 162 in the air (12

for 16), and helped the defense with 11 tackles, a sack and a strip. “We have bigger goals,” Rogers said in jubilation. “I think the last few times we have won the region titles we have just been happy. This region championship has just gotten us on to the next step of our journey. “Even though we had to wait to see if we got in the playoffs, we knew once we [all the see HAWKS, pg. 40

Yellow Jackets get first win at Ferrum 81-57

Staff reports sports@mechlocal.com FERRUM — Five Yellow Jackets scored in double-figures as the Randolph-Macon men’s basketball team topped Ferrum 81-57 Sunday afternoon. R-MC (1-3) shot 54.2% from the field, making 32-of59 shots in the win, including 7-of-13 from behind the threepoint line. Lamar Giggetts led all scorers with a game-high 15 points. Fellow starters Dylan Cole (12 pts.), Connor Sullivan (11 pts.) and Marcus Badger (10 pts.) all scored in doubledigits, while Andre Simon came off the bench to score 10 points for the Jackets. Simon also grabbed six rebounds to help R-MC edge Ferrum 42-35 on the boards. The Yellow Jackets registered assists on 22 of their 32 made baskets in the win. Badger and fellow point guard Trent Walker each dished out six helpers in the victory, while combining for just one turnover. The Randolph-Macon defense did not allow any FC (2-2) players to score more than nine points and held the Panthers to 35.6% (21-of-59) shooting for the game.

Alek Ayer, Lamont King and Shon Goode all tallied nine points in a losing effort for Ferrum. The Yellow Jackets came out firing, scoring the first seven points of the game and eventually pushed its lead to 14-3 when Chris Hamilton knocked down a jumper just over five minutes into the contest. After a King basket cut the R-MC lead to 27-18 with five minutes left in the half, the Yellow Jackets would close out the first 20 minutes of play scoring 13 of the final 19 points to take a 40-24 lead into the locker room at halftime. Randolph-Macon came out and opened the second stanza with a 12-5 run, stretching its lead to 52-29 on a Badger bucket with 17 minutes to play in the game. R-MC made 16-of-29 shots in the second-half as it would see its lead grow to as many as 27 points when Akeem Holmes drained a three-pointer to give the Jackets 59-32 advantage with just over 14 minutes to go. Randolph-Macon will make its regular season home debut on Wednesday when it opens ODAC play against Lynchburg at 7 p.m.

Local football players earn All-ODAC honors Staff reports sports@mechlocal.com Ten Randolph-Macon College Football student-athletes received All-ODAC honors. Garnering First-Team AllODAC accolades were running back Will McGhee, tight-end Zach Midulla, offensive lineman Byron Overstreet (Patrick Henry) and defensive lineman Ian Candelaria. McGhee earns his first allconference honor following a junior season in which he finished with an ODAC best 1,276 yards on the ground. That total is the most for an R-MC running back since the 2008 season and is the third highest total for an R-MC back since 1980. McGhee’s 6.0 yards per rush is the most for a Yellow Jacket running back with 100 or more carries since Remon Smith averaged 6.5 each time he ran the ball in 1986. Overstreet earns all-league accolades for the third time during his career in Ashland. He and Midulla helped pave the way at the line of scrimmage for McGee and the rest of the R-MC running backs who gained 2,143 yards on the ground and an offense that averaged over 400 yards per game in 2012. Midulla was also a receiving threat, grabbing nine balls with five of them going for touchdowns. Candelaria was a mainstay along the defensive line for R-MC. The senior made 47 tackles on the season, including 5.5 stops behind the line of scrimmage and 2.5 quarterback sacks. Candelaria also forced two fumbles and recovered two fumbles on the season.

H-Back Vance Hendren, offensive lineman Joe Breithaupt and wide receiver Luke Sellers were named to the second-team offense, while Tracy Murden was the second-team punter. Along with being a lead blocker on running plays, Hendren gained 204 yards on the ground himself and scored eight rushing touchdowns. The senior also snared 21 balls through the air, with five touchdowns. Hendren’s 13 touchdowns were third most in the ODAC and five of those scores came in one game versus Catholic. Breithaupt is in his first season with the Yellow Jackets and helped R-MC finish second in the ODAC in rushing offense, averaging 214 yards per game during the year. Breithaupt was part of an R-MC offense that averaged 23 first-downs per game in 2012. Sellers was named all-conference after he finished with 40 receptions on the season for 632 yards and four touchdowns. His 63.2 receiving yards per game was third best in the ODAC, while he finished tied for fifth in total receptions. Murden led the league in punting average, racking up 886 yards on 22 kicks for an average of 40.3 yards-per-punt. Murden had three kicks of 50 or more yards on the season and 10 kicks that landed inside the opponent’s 20 yard line. Sophomore quarterback Zac Naccarato was named to the thirdteam offense and his classmate Calvin Davis (Lee-Davis) was a third-team defense selection. Naccarato followed up his ODAC Rookie of the Year per-

formance from a season ago by completing a league best 68.8% of his passes in 2012. The southpaw completed 148of-248 attempts on the season, with 16 touchdowns to just four interceptions for a passer efficiency rating of 161.4 which was the best in the ODAC and 16th best in Division III. Davis joined Candelaria along the defensive front for R-MC and tied for the league lead with 6.5 sacks on the season. Davis made a total of 31 stops, with 7.5 going for a loss of yards. Washington and Lee’s Scott Abell and Luke Heinsohn were named Coach and Offensive Player of the Year, respectively. Bridgewater’s Joel Francis earned Defensive Player of the Year honors, Guilford’s Matt Pawlowski was named the Rookie of the Year, and Emory & Henry’s Kyle Boden was named the ScholarAthlete of the Year. Hampden-Sydney senior linebacker Kenny Fryman (Hanover), and junior defensive back Steven Fogleman (Hanover) also earned first team honors. Senior offensive lineman Tyler White (Atlee) was named to the Second Team. While senior h-back John Michael Sparagna (Atlee) and sophomore defensive back John Moore (Powhatan, VA/Blessed Sacrament-Huguenot) earned Third Team honors. Fryman, a 2012 team captain and 2011 First Team pick, led the defense with 114 total tackles on 56 solo and 58 assisted stops. He finished second in the league in total tackles and fourth in tackles-for-loss with 12.0 for -29 yards. The senior

linebacker also notched one sack, one pass break up, and a forced fumble. Fogleman, in his first full year back from injury, was second on the team and ninth in the ODAC with 83 tackles. The team captain also added 3.0 tackles-forloss, 1.0 sack, and a team-high ten pass break ups. In addition, he forced one fumble. Fogleman also earned Second Team AllODAC honors in 2010. White entered his senior year a team captain and helped lead the offensive line from the left tackle position. White started in all ten games while helping the Tigers run one of the top offenses in the league. Sparagna was named to the Third Team as an all-purpose back as he was one of the top blockers for the team, and gave the offense an added spark. In addition, he was second on the team in receptions (40) receiving yards (376), and receiving touchdowns (4). On the ground, he ran for 72 yards on ten carries with another touchdown. Price was third on the team with 75 tackles with 27 solo/48 assisted. His 5.5 tackles for a loss of -15 yards were sixth best on the team and he added 1.0 sacks. In addition he had four pass break ups. Moore proved to be a playmaker on the field with 62 total tackles on 35 solo and 27 assisted tackles. He did a bit of everything with 6.0 tackles-forloss, 1.0 sacks, three pass break ups, one interception, and one fumble recovery. Moore also returned punts for the Tigers with an average of 14.2 yardsper-return on eight returns.

Bulldogs end Cavs’ season for second time 63-36 McPhearson racks up 523 all-purpose yards in loss By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com Perhaps it was the fact that the Goochland won the coin toss electing to receive, or the 53-yard initial kickoff return of the Bulldogs that was a shadow of things to come. Either way, having stopped King William inches short of attaining the State Semi’s last year, the Goochland repeated history again, (this time by a wider margin) handily defeating a worthy opponent, the King William Cavaliers 63-36 in the Division 2 East Section playoffs. Up against a larger team with greater depth, the Cavs played their hearts out having anticipated this matchup since their 2011 encounter, only to be frustrated a second time in their efforts for a victory. To the cheers of a heartily enthusiastic Goochland High School home crowd, the Bulldogs offense stuck to their game plan systematically advancing into Cavaliers’ territory time and again, and effectually invalidating the King William defense. But for a turnover, not once were the Bulldogs forced to punt the entire evening. Goochland Head Coach, Joe Fowler was pleased with his teams’ performance. “We had faith in our offense that we were going to be able to move the ball,” he said. “And our defense at the end was able to make the [necessary stops]. We didn’t punt all night long; and again our offensive line and our running backs did a great job of blocking.” With four TDs on the night,

Above: King William do-everything-player Freeman McPhearson (16) follows his blocker up field. McPhearson racked up 523 all-purpose yards in the contest, more than the Goochland team.

Goochland’s RB/DB, Mitchell Brice was a formidable weapon in the Bulldogs’ arsenal, rushing 207 yards, including a 72-yard sprint to the 8-yard line setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by freshman quarterback Reid Chenault. “For the most part we’ve got some explosive backs; and Mitchell did a great job tonight,” Fowler said. “He picked up a lot of yards running the ball; but he did a great job blocking as well. It’s a testament to him that the other running backs were able to pick up some yards; and a lot of those yards came behind him.” Others racking up big ground gains rushing for the Dogs were: RB Nathan Mattox (103 yards, 2 TDs); David Dyer (93 yards, one TD); and Mason Engel with 83 yards. Without a doubt, the size of the Bulldogs’ line was a major component to their ability to push through the Cavaliers’ defense. “They were big, and I thought we played a big line with Madison [last week]; but shoot, they were some big boys,” said King William head coach

The Mechanicsville Local November 28, 2012

Jim Henderson. “And they were fresh. We’ve got a lot of guys going both ways; and they were able to keep their line fresh. Hats off to them; they had a great game plan and just ran it right through us. We had done pretty good at defending the run all year; and that was a little bit of a surprise to me that we bent like that. But, you know, hats off to our kids. They fought.” Fowler concurred. “We had about five or six guys playing both ways tonight. We felt that we had a little bit more depth than they did; and that helped us late in the game.” Fight, the Cavaliers did, coming up with six TDs through the course of the evening, each yard gained was a battle. “They didn’t give up,” Henderson said. “It was looking ugly; but we kept going down the field and scoring; but it was just tough to stop those guys. Our kids kept fighting; we were ripping at the ball. Their last touchdown we had three guys ripping at the ball; cause it doesn’t matter if you lose by one, or if you lose by fifty at this point in the year. A loss is

a loss; you still go home. Ain’t no sense in keeping a knee on it; we were just trying to keep it close. We were going to stay aggressive.” Adding to the point disparity between the two teams was the Cavaliers’ special teams’ inability to score any extra points or make conversions the entire evening. A botched handoff early in the 2nd quarter resulted in a turnover fumble recovery on the 50 was another critical play adding to the Bulldogs’ momentum as the game progressed. Despite the gap in points, the Cavaliers actually surpassed the Bulldogs in total yardage (557 to 523). And although the Goochland defense, was effectual in shutting down the Cavaliers’ backs for the most part, when it came to King Williams RB, QB and DB, Freeman McPhearson, there just wasn’t enough manpower to stop him. Earning the respect and admiration of the Bulldogs and their fans and personally matching the Bulldogs total yardage for the evening with 523 yards, MacPhearson

had 4 TDs on the night; 302 passing; 179 rushing; and 42 receiving. “[MacPhearson] is the straw that serves the drink for them,” Fowler said. “He is the man for their team. And we knew that in order to beat King William, we knew that we had to slow down Freeman McPhearson. And he sure is a heck of a football player. He’s as good of a player as any we have seen in a long time.” As the Bulldogs defense proved successful at shutting down the Cavalier backs, McPhearson was the Cavaliers’ best weapon to continue to move the chains and get points on the board. “Yeah. Ride your horses,” Henderson said. “He’s been a horse all year. He played an excellent game tonight. This is by far his best game all year. He threw the ball well, ran the ball well. I didn’t think he was going to be able to outdo last week’s performance with an interception, a fumble recovery and over two hundred yards rushing, but what he did tonight just shows his character and how well he fights.” With the win, Goochland advances to the next round of playoffs at Wilson Memorial

this Saturday at 1 p.m. “They’re going to be a completely different attack,” Fowler said. “Tonight was a completely different dichotomy in styles. You know, we ran the ball almost every time and they threw the ball almost every time. “Wilson Memorial is a little be more like our identity,” Fowler said. “They’re a double winged team. They’re going to line up and go right at you. We had an opportunity to play them last year, so we have enough of a feel for what they do. Coach Major does a great job with the kids up there; and we’re excited for the opportunity to go see them.” King William..... 12 6 6 12 —36 Goochland.......... 21 14 7 21 — 63 G - Brice 12-yd. run KW - Gresham 35-yd reception G - Brice 37 yd run (Brice conversion) KW - Gresham 5 yd reception G - Jefferson 1-yd run (Marria kick) G - Dyer 17-yd run (Marria kick) G - Chenault 1-yd run (Marria kick) KW - MacPhearson 33-yd reception KW – MacPhearson 9-yd run G - Brice 31-yd run (Marria kick) KW – MacPhearson 7-yd run G - Brice 15-yd run (Marria kick) KW – MacPhearson 3-yd run G - Mattox 35-yd run (Marria kick)

2012-13 BASKETBALL PREVIEWS

County boys look to keep up with district foes By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Hanover County’s four boys’ basketball teams hope to make a mark in the last year of the Central Region. But they have will have a lot of work to do to finish near the top of their respective districts. Hanover may have the best chance at keeping up with perennial powers Henrico and Highland Springs in the Capital District, but Atlee and Lee-Davis feel they have a shot at finishing in the middle. Patrick Henry will have File photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local to scrap to carve out room for Above from left: Hanover’s Sam Rogers, Atlee’s Brian Miller and Lee-Davis’ LaDarien Autry will be itself among the top teams in three of the players local teams will rely on for success in the 2012-13 basketball season. the Colonial District. “We only have four guys Two of the four are full- the only one who averaged in back from last year, ” said Atlee time starters, guards Brian double figures last year, scoring ATLEE The Raiders lost their lead- coach Phil Reynolds. “All four Miller and Quincy Randolph 11 points per game.

junior forward. Reynolds expects improvement from their 5-18, 4-10 Capital finish last year. “Our kids are really excited this year, with a fresh start and everything,” Reynolds said. “We just have to stay healthy – we only have 10 guys on our varsity team. As long as we stay healthy, I think we can have a very good year.” HANOVER Second-year coach Darren Thornton is still in the process of assembling a team. Several of his expected starters – senior guard/forward Sam Rogers, senior forward Donte Haynesworth, senior guard Usman Mahmood and junior guard/forward Josh Harris – have the VHSL Division 5 state football playoffs to focus on at the moment. Thornton feels he can afford to wait for them to join the Hawks.

“There is no big rush – that’s a good thing,” Thornton said. “We don’t need to rush them in to try to save us.” Thornton has reason for confidence. Hanover, which finished 12-12, 7-7 lat year, has plenty of talent as it is. “We’ve got a good, deep group that’s coming up, especially from our JV team, and we’ve got a good group of newcomers this year,” Thornton said. “I think that’s going to be our overall strength. From one to 12, there’s no drop in talent. There’s something special from each guy.” Other potential starters include senior forward Chris Gilliam, junior center/forward Tavon Weatherless and junior guard forward Jordan Wade. Other players worth watching include senior guard Jordan Cleveland, junior guard Blake Billups, sophomore guard/forsee BOYS, pg. 40

Young girls’ squads are ready for season to begin By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local As the girls basketball season begins, Patrick Henry has set a high goal for itself – to win the Colonial District for the third and final time in a row. For Hanover County’s other three teams, a thirdplace finish in their district, the Capital, is likely the best the youthful an inexperienced teams can hope for. ATLEE Atlee’s starting lineup will feature only one senior, guard Caila Mullen. But the lack of age will not be much of a handicap. “Most of my point production will come back,” said

The young lady who led us in steals, and who was probably a defensive specialist – Jamari Blackwell – she’ll be returning.” Staples, a junior forward, and Hill, a freshman guard, will be in the starting lineup, along with Mullen, junior guard Katie Baldacci and sophomore forward Alexandra Smith. Blackwell, a freshman guard who averaged eight steals a game off the bench last year, will likely continue in her defensive specialist role again this year. “I think that we’ll be better File photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local than last year,” Collins said.

six foot.” HANOVER The Hawks lost six starters from last year, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have experience coming back. “We have some varsity returning players,” said Hanover coach Kevin Brooks. We had a lot of people who played a lot of minutes last year.” Among the Hawks’ most experienced players are senior guard Amber Norris and senior forward Hayleigh Omohundro. They will be joined in the starting lineup by junior forwards Sarah Belcher and April Lankford and sophsee GIRLS, pg. 40

omore guard Syndi Carey. Brooks also expects a lot from three newcomers, senior guard Laura Sills and sophomore guards Taylor Peay and Morgan Roberts. Hanover, which finished 12-11, 8-6 Capital last year, will have some challenges. “We’re very, very small,” Brooks said. “Because we’re so small as a team, we’re going to have to rebound collectively. … That and staying focused defensively will be two big keys for us. We’re really going to need to defend well and rebound the ball well.” Brooks is optimistic, though. “We have a good group coming back,” Brooks said. “Lots of energy, lots of enthusiasm – they kids are really excited to be coming back.” LEE-DAVIS The Confederates lost several players to graduation, but their biggest loss from this year’s team was through transfer – their leading scorer, Caroline Naumann, transferred to St. Catherine’s this year. It’s a big blow for a team

ward Clutch Ellis and freshman guard Jalen Elliott. The Hawks will be led by senior guard Trayvonte Brown, who averaged 13 points per game last season. Other potential starters include senior forward Chris Gilliam, junior center/forward Tavon Weatherless and junior guard forward Jordan Wade. Other players worth watching include senior guard Jordan Cleveland, junior guard Blake Billups, sophomore guard/forward Clutch Ellis and freshman guard Jalen Elliott. LEE-DAVIS The Confederates have a lot of turnover this year, including at the very top spot – head coach. Robert Rice served as an assistant last year under interim coach Dave Ellington.

For defensive intensity, Patrick Henry will rely on senior twins Tyler, left, and Jasmine Pinder. Both players provide a unrelenting style that makes it difficult on opponents.

that went 14-8, 7-5 Capital last year. “It pretty much killed the group I have coming back,” Lee-Davis coach Alvin Puller said. “We had a nice team with her. We couldn’t beat Highland Springs, but we could have held our own with her. It makes a big difference for us.” But Puller has a group of mostly seniors and juniors to lead the team, beginning with senior center Kori Hughes and senior forward Maci Morrison. Other likely starters include junior guards Imani Boothe and Kerstin Winston and sophomore guard Olivia Tuck. He expects significant contributions from sopho-

more guard Lauren McIntyre. Puller likes what he sees. “We’re young and inexperienced this year,” Puller said. “But they’re scrappy and work hard. I enjoy them. They never complain.”

The experienced-strapped squad lost its three big guns last year – Abdiel Bolden, Shrevon Clarke and J.D. Harvey. Nine of this year’s players have no varsity experience. “We only have really two guys on the team who have any real game experience from last year,” Rice said. “We’re really undersized and inexperienced. It’s going to take us some time to get used to the new pace. And chemistry-wise, we’re working on that.” The Confederates’ most experienced offensive leaders are junior guard LaDarian Autry, who averaged 9 points per game last year, and senior guard Josh Brown, who averaged six points per game. The only other experienced players include senior forward Jesse Tuck and junior guard Austin Stallings. Rice hopes the Lee-Davis squad gets a boost from two

newcomers from the football team, junior guard Tim Hewlett and freshman guard Irving Jones. “These two guys will give us a lot more speed and athleticism.,” Rice said. “It’s good to get these two guys in here.” Despite the challenges the Confederates face this season, they expect an improvement over last year’s 5-18, 0-14 finish. “We’ve got a lot of hard workers, and really good kids,” Rice said. “They really want to change the whole image of the program. It hasn’t been very good for a while. These kids really want to change that. Bluecollar kids, they get after it.”

PATRICK HENRY The Patriots, who finished 23-3, 15-1 Colonial last year, hope to successfully defend their Colonial District title for the district’s final season before VHSL realignment. In order to succeed, they need to overcome the loss of leading scorer Katie Anderson, now at Randolph-Macon, and Jasmine Smith. Their likely starters include

PATRICK HENRY Turnover has not been kind to the Patriots, who lost seven players to graduation and two – including their top player, Raymon Minor, to transfer.

senior guards Tyler and Jasmine Pinder, junior guard Summer Price, and junior forward Amber Lee. Other players to watch include junior forwards Rachel Adams and Ashley Samuels and junior guard India Coles. Their biggest challenge, however, is lack of depth. Everyone will have to get their share of minutes. “How deep we can go?” said coach Phillip Cobb. “Conditioning, that’s a focus right now, getting in shape. We have to play for an extended period of time.” Successful conditioning will play into the Patriots’ main strength. “I think our strength is going to be … defense,” Cobb said. “Up-and-down, fast pace. We want to press as much as we can. We want to play great defense. We want to push the ball.” Cobb expects the Patriots will be near, if not at the top of the Colonial standings at the end of the season. “We’re gong to be fighting with the top teams in our district,” Cobb said. “I think Deep Run is going to be right up there with us. … I think they’re the favorite to win our district. Our goal is to win it three years in a row.” “That was my shooting guard and my power forward. It’s going to be a whole new crew, a whole new cast,” said head coach Randy Anderson. “I have a couple of guys who saw some great playing time last year – Kahlil Mock, Wes Toro and William Holman – those three guys played a lot of good minutes last year for me. Other than that, everybody else is brand new.” Some of the key newcomers include Lucas Pienkowski, a junior center, and junior guard Tarik McClain. Despite their lack of experience, the Patriots have one major strength. “One thing about these guys, they’re really a tightknit group of guys,” Anderson said. “You can tell in the locker room, on the court – they really do like each other. That’s a big part, that continuity, just that unity.”

HAWKS Continued from pg. 36

pionship has just gotten us on to the next step of our journey. “Even though we had to wait to see if we got in the playoffs, we knew once we [all the seniors] got in we would play hard every week for a chance at a state title.” The Blue Devils marched into Hanover territory on the ensuing possession but a botched handoff on a doublereverse lateral created a fumble and David Cryster recovered. Hanover took it to the Hopewell 43-yard line and moved the ball inside the 7-yard line, but the drive stalled two plays after an illegal blocking penalty. However, the three-time region champions maintained the battle of field position on its second drive of the second quarter. The drive featured the onetwo punch of Rogers and Jones resulting in a score as Jones took it in from the 4-yard line. Rozsahegyi’s PAT made the lead 14-0 lead. Although Hanover had one more drive before the half, and had a touchdown called back, Shyheim Simpson’s interception of a Rogers’ pass ended the drive for the Blue Devils. On Hanover’s first drive of the second half, Rogers hit Josh Harris down the left sideline. The 6-0, 155-pound junior reached up to haul it in and tightroped the sideline for a 54-yard touchdown and gave Hanover a 21-0 lead and all the momentum they needed to start smelling the aroma of the school’s fourth region title. Moments later, Hanover showed Hopewell what it has been showcasing for the past four years, a heavy dose of Rogers. The Hawks produced a nifty five-play 61-yard drive with junior Lamont Stubbs, who finished with 38 yards on five carries, picking up the touchdown from 7-yard out. Rozsahegyi connected on his fourth extra point and the Hawks took the 28-point lead. Stubbs scored his second touchdown from 21 yards out, out of a trips-right formation, and the 5-8, 164 junior scooted up the middle for the touch-

down. Rozsahegyi made it a perfect 5-for-5 on extra points. Hopewell’s lone score came on a 3-yard touchdown run by Gabe Dupree, following a 50yard pass hookup from Reggie Butler to Octavious Taylor, who took the ball down to the 3yard line. Zack Hipps added the PAT and provided the final score 35-7. The Blue Devils were making their first post-season appearance since 2004, when they ware region runner-ups. Hopewell was the state champion in 2003. With the win, Hanover improved to 9-3 while Hopewell finished 8-4. Hanover teams with L.C. Bird for a unique daily double as the two No. 4 seeds captured Central Region crowns on Friday. The Hawks are in the apex of a terrific run since Just took over the program in 2005. In 2006, he team finished 5-5 but made its first post-season appearance. Hanover lost in the semifinals against a very good Matoaca team that lost in overtime to Deep Run in the region final. Every year thereafter, Hanover has advanced to the region championship game and posted a 3-2 record prior to Friday with title wins in 2007 (over Patrick Henry) and 2009 (beat Petersburg) and in 2011 (knocking off Atlee). In the even years in between, the Hawks lost to Dinwiddie in the finals. This Saturday at 1 p.m. Hanover will play Stone Bridge (13-0, 2007 state champion), a 6950 winner over Yorktown, at home in the first round of the Group AAA Division 5 state playoffs.
