County teams ready for robotics challenge By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local The room was filled with anticipation as Robotics teams from all four of Hanover’s high schools gathered to receive instructions for the 2013 FIRST Robotics Competition. The web-based simulcast kicks off a hectic six weeks for the teams, who will submit their final projects for regional competition in March at VCU. This year’s competition tasks
those teams with producing a robot that can multi-task and operate independently. Those skills will be tested with a series of challenges involving tossing Frisbees at specific targets. “I think it’s an interesting assignment,” said Ellen Orie, co-captain of the Hanover Robotics team. Hanover robotics has grown in popularity since its inception eight years ago and currently boasts 43 members.
Casey leaving Hanover for similar Henrico job By Ben Orcutt for The Mechanicsville Local One of the primary reasons that Hanover Deputy County Administrator Joseph P. “Joe” Casey is taking a similar position in Henrico is because of his thirst for knowledge. “For those that know me, I’m a lifelong learner,” Casey said. “I love to learn new and different things and I kind of view everything in five-year increments . . . I love what I do here and I do learn things see CASEY, pg. 22

Orie said the program is attracting more students with a variety of skill sets. “A majority of the members are guys, but we are getting a lot more girls to join the team. They are for programming, not just for pep, and to help with the robot,” the junior said.

Goins open the packages for this year’s First Competition. All four of the county’s teams met on Saturday at Hanover High School for a kickoff meeting for this year’s competition.
School district finance chiefs resign posts By Ben Orcutt for The Mechanicsville Local Two of Hanover County Public Schools’ financial stalwarts have moved on. Dr. Michael E. Thornton, assistant superintendent for business and operations, accepted the position of chief financial officer for the city of Norfolk Public Schools. Christopher A. Sorensen, director of budget and risk management, is now the associate budget director in the office of Budget and Resource Analysis at VCU. The two, who are both 48, worked together at HCPS for more than six years and helped to keep the division on solid financial ground while forming a strong bond in the process. Thornton came to work for HCPS in July 2006, and he said Sorensen joined him that September.
“And we just forged a partnership from day one,” Thornton said. “We’ve worked very closely and then in these last four years when this unprecedented fiscal challenge came from the economic recession we committed ourselves to working closely with the superintendent, [Hanover County] School Board and staff and just making THORNTON sure that we kept the focus on students. It wasn’t just about balancing a bunch of numbers.” “Chris being a parent of a Hanover student, he had an additional sensitivity to the impact that some of the recommenda-
tions we would make to the superintendent that they went far beyond just balancing a budget, that it had real impact on students and staff,” Thornton added. “So we just stayed committed to that and we forged a relationship that that will go beyond our time in Hanover.” Thornton, who holds a doctorate in educational leadership and policy from SORENSEN Virginia Tech and has worked in the field of education for more than 26 years with stops at several school divisions, said the relationship among HCPS officials and with county officials is what attracted him see FINANCE, pg. 15

Hanover High student gets environmental honor
J
ohn-Reid “Jack” Ryan, a Hanover High School student, recently was awarded the Frances and Sydney Lewis Environmental Scholarship during the 2012 Virginia Junior Academy of Science (VJAS) meeting. The scholarship will be applied to his undergraduate studies in a related field. Since 1984, the $14,000 award has been presented by the Virginia Environmental Endowment (VEE) to a student in grades 9 to 12 who demonstrates the most significant contribution in the field of environmental science and who exhibits leadership abilities, academic achievements, and well-rounded participation in school and community affairs. The VEE awards the monetary gift as a tribute to the services of its Directors Emeriti Frances A. Lewis and Sydney Lewis. For four years, Ryan has been conducting an original study through the VCU Biology Department called “The Effect of Pollutant Salts on Rotifer Mortality.” He said his project focuses on “the effects of runoff salts used in fertilizers and de-icing agents on a microorganism called the rotifer.” His study has proven that the salts found in the fertilizers and de-icing agents are “extremely toxic to the rotifer organisms and pose a serious danger to the Chesapeake Bay.”

As legislators gather in Richmond for this year’s General Assembly session, the legislative social schedule is heating up. On Thursday, Hanover government officials joined elected representatives for an annual reception held at the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) headquarters in downtown Richmond. The Greater Richmond Chamber holds the event annually to honor local and state officials as the Virginia General Assembly convenes. The event, hosted by UNOS and sponsored by the Chamber, attracted more than 200. UNOS public relations director Lisa Schaffner said it’s a great opportunity for her organization to team with the Chamber for the yearly event. “We have a great central location and we look forward to this event each year,” she said. Hanover government officials were in attendance, and county attorney Sterling Rives said it’s a good opportunity to

meet and discuss legislative issues. He listed some of Hanover’s priorities for the upcoming session. “Localities have faced reduced funding from the state over the last three years, and reduced revenues from real estate taxes and sales taxes,” Rives said. “We hope that now

that state revenues are starting to increase as we begin to grow out of the recession, the state will recognize the desperate state that localities are in and increase funding to localities, especially for education. That’s a top priority.” Beaverdam District Supervisor Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley said he hopes the
General Assembly’s conservative approach continues in this year’s session. “We’d like to see things continue in the General Assembly along a conservative line,” Stanley said. “We’d like to have the same opportunities as the cities as far as taxing — not that we are going to do that — but who knows what might come up.” Rives said he supports the governor’s intention to seek raises for state teachers, but said those increases don’t apply to all Hanover educators. “That’s a good step in the right direction, but we need to recognize that will apply only to those teachers who are under state funding, and will not apply to those who are locally funded,” Rives said. The county attorney also restated the county’s desire for legislation that would require General Assembly approval of any plan placing tolls on existing Virginia interstates. UNOS is a private nonprofit organization tasked with managing the nation’s organ transplant system.

With a long and storied history, Hanover Tavern has long served as one of the county’s most recognizable landmarks. On Saturday, the site received a highway marker that chronicles that history, and establishes the tavern on Virginia’s list of Historical Markers. Several county officials joined tavern board members and executive director David Deal for a ceremony unveiling the new marker located along U.S. 301. It’s another step on a list of courthouse area improvements that have enhanced the area’s historic accessibility and breathed new life into the tavern, its exhibits and its dining and cultural opportunities. Hanover Planning Commissioner and Hanover Tavern board member Ashley Peace got most of the credit for
from the state. “I had actually interned at the Department of Historic Resources as a graduate student, so I knew it was an easy process,� Peace said. “I was shocked that we didn’t have a highway marker for the tavern.� Peace said she worked with Deal and other tavern officials regarding the language on the plaque. “I thought it was a tangible contribution that I could make from my involvement on the board,� she added. Del. Chris Peace, R-97, heads a group called Friends of Chris Peace, a group interested in preserving and enhancing Hanover history. “Heritage tourism brings a lot of revenue to the state as well as the county, and anything we can do to bring more people and dollars to this area and increase our appreciation for heritage and history is doing the right thing,� Peace said.

From the editor
What will the ‘b’ word mean in the new year? This is going to sound like a repeat of comments made in this space last year, because, well, to some degree, it is. You see, it’s that time of year again when our county government and school district leaders face the daunting (and unenviable) task of budget work. While both County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. and Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, are, as the old saying goes, “knee-deep” in budget preparation, we can only hope that the funding issues that have become commonplace across the nation won’t hit home too hard. There also is that hope for strong leadership in a struggling economy. What will the Board of Supervisors and School Board ultimately face when budget adoption time becomes reality? As always, you are encouraged to be a part of the process. Whether you stand before those elected or appointed to act on our behalf, or you prefer to communicate by telephone, e-mail or through the county’s administrative offices, you do have a voice. So, be heard. Probably the most difficult decisions are those affecting employment and service increases. I don’t believe for a second that any supervisor or School Board member wants to vote to eliminate positions. Sadly, however, it’s become a reality the past few years. Retirements have helped ease the crunch somewhat in recent budget cycles. I also find it doubtful that the supervisors want to place additional fees or taxes on the citizens of Hanover County. What they may be forced to do, however, is yet to be revealed. As was stated here last year, we must protect our education system, law enforcement, and fire and rescue services. Hanover County is a shining example of providing the best of these to its people. Now, that’s not to say any service should be cut or eliminated, but there are what we all consider core to our well-being and future successes. To Harris, Wilson and all those involved in the budget process, thank you and good luck. Melody Kinser

Mysterious benefactor may have been reader’s dad
no schools, fire stations and the roadways were private farm tracts or county back roads. The proffer bought us the county-supported amenities that made our land more attractive and living there safer and more desirable. However, while I held my land waiting for the opportune building time, the proffer was increased to $30,000. In 2008, house prices plummeted at the lake and elsewhere and adding $30,000 put me over budget and was unrealistic. Other landowners and developers must have felt the same way, as building spiraled downward. Methinks the county pulled a trick to intentionally slow down out of control development that takes the toll on a beautiful environment and impacts the lake in a negative way. Land all around mine is sitting as pristine as the day I bought it eight years ago. Proffers are necessary to install and maintain the county services that are necessary for safe and convenient living. If new home builders do not pay the proffer, the services cost falls to the other county taxpayers. It looks like the majority of the members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisor have befriended the developers and forgotten the citizens they represent. Remember that on voting day and every time you drive past new homebuilding. Patricia Lassiter Mechanicsville
This letter is in response to Ms. Carrie Arner’s thank you note that was published in The Mechanicsville Local on Dec. 19. As I read Ms. Arner’s lovely and caring words, I was quite touched by the generosity of the man she described. As I read further, I thought to myself, “This gentleman she is describing sounds a lot like my dad!” When I got to the part where Ms. Arner described the man laying down “Two 20 dollar bills,” I was convinced that the anonymous donor is indeed my father. He frequents the Arby’s in question, and he always, ALWAYS carried $20 bills, mainly for the purpose of giving away to others. My dad is a kind and generous person, and his first thoughts are always for helping others, especially kids. He asks for nothing in return — not even a thank you — but he does enjoy seeing the joy on people’s faces when they realize what he has done. After I read the letter, I approached my dad and asked him casually if he knew anything about giving some money to children “for dessert at Arby’s” recently. He looked surprised and asked how I knew, and I told him about Ms. Arner’s kind words. He was a bit embarrassed, but pleased, and simply said that he “likes helping people.” Of course, I have no proof that the good samaritan in the Dec. 19 letter is indeed my dad. It is possible (I hope!) that there are other generous souls out there, doing good and spreading cheer year round. But . . . I would like to think that the anonymous man is my beloved father, and on behalf of him and myself we First off, I want to say that I am not a member of the would like to say to Ms. Arner, Merry Christmas!

Me and my friends used to target shoot for the fun of it — that was until Hanover got so big with subdivisions that you cannot do that anymore. At one time I even shot in competition. I have owned everything from handguns to military rifles. I don’t really watch the news because I feel that they (the media) exploit a lot of things and constantly probe regardless of people’s feelings. Take for instance the recent shootings at Sandy Hook. Just like the Columbine shootings, they (the media) have been all in these people’s faces. Now the town is so saturated with people from everywhere wanting to help, that they (the town) cannot continue to move on past this tragedy. That is not what this letter is about though.

I read on my online homepage that, since this tragedy, the vice president of the NRA, Wayne LaPierre, was stated as saying that we as a country need to “put armed guards in our schools nationwide.” I was dumbfounded when I read this because for the last 12 years that my son was in Hanover County Public Schools, they have always had Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office deputies, or “Resource Officers” as they are called, at the schools at all times. Who, I might add, are armed. I may be wrong, but I also believe that they are at all the school functions and games. I have just always assumed that all schools in our nation were like this already, but I guess not. While recently talking to some of my friends, they did not even know that Hanover schools had Resource Officers.

PETERSON
W. Canova Peterson, who represents the Mechanicsville District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, will hold a Community Town Hall Meeting from 7 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 15, at the Mechanicsville Branch of the Pamunkey Regional Library.
Discussions will be open to all areas related to quality of life in MechanicsvilleandHanoverCounty, but it is expected that the primary focus will be upon reviewing events of 2012, education and progress of the county’s Comprehensive Plan review and update. The county’s current Comprehensive Plan can be accessed at: www.co.hanover.va.us/

planning/compplan.htm Peterson said the Town Hall concept has been set up for residents of the Mechanicsville District, but all Hanover County residents are welcome to participate. Randy Whittaker and Glenn Millican, Mechanicsville’s representatives on the Planning Commission and School Board, also will attend.
I have to sit back and wonder what if Sandy Hook had a Resource Officer. Would this have escalated to the level that it did? Unfortunately, that is something that we will never know. So I would like to personally thank the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office for being there for our children, and, as always, for doing a great job in protecting our kids and for doing programs such as D.A.R.E. in our schools.

Federal workers get pay hike Imagine you are working for a company that is going bankrupt, but everyone you work with and your bosses are getting pay raises. Seem absurd? Not if you work for the failing federal government, because President Barack Obama has decreed that Vice President
Joe Biden, members of the U.S. Congress and most federal workers are getting raises for 2013. As the U.S. government is losing its luster on the bond market, President Obama issued an executive order to give everyone raises. Obama has generously bestowed a $6,379 per year raise on Grandpa Joe; he’s given members of Congress a $900 increase; and he’s doled out a .5 percent pay increase to federal workers. The pay raises will take effect on March 27, 2013, thanks to just another Friday night executive order by Obama. As the President and Congress seek to rearrange the deck chairs on this sinking Titanic ship of state, Obama has decided it is a good idea to throw more coal into the furnaces. It’s full steam ahead and damn the financial torpedoes. Elmer Brown Mechanicsville

to Hanover. Thornton said he has had “a wonderful experience” working with former HCPS superintendent Dr. Stewart D. Roberson and current superintendent Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson. “The School Board has been wonderful to work with, all the staff, the principals,” Thornton said. “They remained focused and we stayed focused on the task at hand even though it was tough. So that’s what I’ll miss mostly.” During his tenure in Hanover, Thornton said he commuted daily from his home in Virginia Beach that he shares with his wife and three daughters. Instead of a two-hour drive, he now has about a 25minute commute to Norfolk, he said. Thornton’s last day in Hanover is today. He said he’s moving from a school system with an enrollment of about 18,000 students to one that has an enrollment of roughly
33,000. “Obviously it’s a large division,” Thornton said of Norfolk. “It’s one that has its own unique challenges and I’m looking forward to taking my experiences and skills and becoming a part of the team there because I think they’re focused on trying to create new opportunities for students and just to position students to be successful in the 21st century so I’m excited about being a part of that team.” Sorensen, whose last day with HCPS also is today, said he’s equally excited about working for VCU, where he earned a B.S. in urban studies and planning and a master’s degree in public administration. “That’s part of the attraction is I have very fond memories as a student of VCU,” Sorensen said. “VCU is a big influence in the city of Richmond. If you think of all that’s taken place in the city of Richmond the past 10 years, 15 years, and how much of it’s driven by VCU and to be part of that is going to be really exciting.”
Sorensen said he’s enjoyed working with the staff at HCPS. “I think one of the things working with the school division is that people really do care,” he said. “I mean it’s a lot of passion in this building and it’s really neat to see how much the people care about the kids. It really is trying to get a product delivered to the kids and that’s the best education possible, but there’s a lot of passion here. It’s really been neat to be a part of it.” Thornton was one of those people who shared that passion for HCPS, Sorensen said. “Michael was a great guy to work with because I could say
what I want to say to Michael,” Sorensen said. “I could express my opinions, put my views in. He always listened and he didn’t always do what I wanted to do, but he always listened and I think that was really important because I’m more down in the trenches. “I had the technical skills . . . He had the ability to see the big picture and the communication skills to present ideas. Some were mine, some weren’t, but he was able to take all that together he was getting from people and present it out as the budget.” Thornton and Sorensen will be missed, Wilson said.
“Hanover County Public Schools has been fortunate to have benefited from the leadership and expertise of both Dr. Thornton and Mr. Sorensen for the past six years,” she said. “Both have been instrumental in the school division’s budget development processes over the past several years when the school division budget has been reduced significantly. Because of their knowledge of and appreciation for our core business of teaching and learning, we have been able to ensure that the fiscal decisions we’ve had to make have had the least impact on our students.”

Room’ into the radiation treatment rooms. “Project Nemo” was made possible by a grant from the 2011 Deep Run High School Marathon Dance. Students at Deep Run High School in Glen Allen host the annual event to raise money for local charities. “We were thrilled to be chosen as a benefi-
ciary of this outstanding event,” Mudd said. “The students at Deep Run High School work tremendously hard all year to give back to several local organizations in the Richmond area.” “In 2011,” she continued, “they were inspired by our vision to make the radiation unit at MCV a more comfortable space for child patients. They presented ReeseStrong with $20,000 to continue cosmetic refurbishment of the linear accelerator rooms. Now completed, our friendly underwater sea life theme creates a more uplifting and relaxing atmosphere particularly for pediatric patients and their families.” Mudd said that many updates still need to be done. “We are looking forward to continuing our collaboration with hospital staff and completing more projects in the coming years.”

and began brainstorming as soon as they got the assignment. Senior Jason Belongin said he hopes to study computer science at VCU and heads the LeeDavis Robotics team. He said this year’s project could be daunting. “It seems more complicated. Frisbees have different physics than balls, so we’re going to need to think of more out of the box ideas to get these Frisbees flying the way we need them to fly,” Belongin said. Patrick Henry’s team is headed by junior John Donahue who led his teammates in a “prime

every day here, but, as far as the volume [in Henrico], just the newness of it adds to that.” Casey, 48, came to work for Hanover County in 1990 when he was hired as assistant finance director. He was promoted to finance director and in 2004 was named to his current post as deputy county administrator for finance and administration. Following his last day on the job in Hanover on Jan. 25, Casey will become the deputy county manager for finance and administration in Henrico where he will work under the direction of incoming County Manager John A. Vithoulkas. Although he will be working in Henrico, Casey said he and his wife Suzanne and their three boys – ages 18, 16 and 14 – will continue to live in Hanover. “I love Hanover,” said Casey, a Maryland native. “I love Central Virginia. I’ve traveled all across the country. One of the passions I’ve had is road trips with my family and I think we’ve been to 44 states, and, after seeing the entire country, I will still say Central Virginia is one of the best per capita areas in the country.” His move to Henrico is not about the money, Casey said, adding that his annual salary will increase from about $155,000 to about $159,000. “In this profession, if you want to chase the money, you can,” he said. “You just have to travel far and never build connections with people.” It’s those connections he’s made in Hanover that he will miss most, Casey said. “It’s the people,” he said. “It’s the coworkers. It’s the citizens and it’s the citizens I’ve known for 22 years, some that have
brainstorming session” as they received the instructions. “I got involved a couple of years ago, and it was really fun so I stuck with it,” Donahue said. “With this year’s competition, we hope to make it to the semifinals.” Chase Greco captains the Atlee team agreed the assignment would be challenging. “It’s basically a combination of the past three seasons and has elements of all of them,” he said. More than 5,000 teams nationwide compete in robotics competitions, and the projects attract more members each
made me work harder than others. But it’s also — it’s a citizen that I just talked to [recently] that never knew me before that. I’m trying to help them sort through a problem and defining with them what local government can do and maybe what they can’t do for them and being honest and fair with them and just having that pleasant conversation and having that person feel as though when they called they were stressed and bothered [and] now they at least feel like they are educated enough to better address the issue and those are things I hope I can replicate in Henrico, but virtually everybody I’ve ever talked to in Hanover is somebody who really cares about their community and cares about their family and that’s a unique person.” One of the accomplishments of which he is most proud is helping Hanover go from an A bond rating to a Triple AAA bond rating, which is the highest rating possible, Casey said. “Just a few years ago we attained that and again the pride of Hanover is not only did we attain it but we were the smallest populated county in the country to attain that ranking,” he said. One of Casey’s primary avenues of learning is through education, he said. He has a B.S. degree in accounting from the University of Richmond and a master’s degree in public administration from VCU with a concentration in public finance. He’s also on track to receive a doctorate in public policy from VCU in May, he said. One of the attractions of working for Henrico is learning about the dynamics of planning for a county of some 300,000 residents as compared to about 100,000 in Hanover, Casey said. “Henrico is a place that is very well-
year. “The underlying goal is still the same — get kids interested in stem field science technology, engineering and mathematics. It’s branched a lot more across the county. A lot more people are coming for different reasons,” Clark said. For example, some members of the Hanover team are staff photographers or interested in research and design. Others display skills designing logos for T-shirts or planning graphics for the project. “It’s definitely grown in that aspect, away from the robot,” Clark said.
respected, not [only] throughout the region and state, but nationally as far as how they have managed and how they manage their finances,” he said. “So to contribute to that while also learning about it, I view that as a very exciting challenge.” In addition to the skills he’s developed during his career in Hanover, Casey noted that he’s also had the good fortune to work with County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr., who hired him 22 years ago when Harris was director of finance. Casey jokes that his wife and others have referred to Harris and him “as a Batman-Robin team.” “I always joke that Batman always needed Robin but some of these more recent movies you don’t even see Robin in them so I always got a little worried,” Casey said. However, Casey said that over the years he and Harris have developed a strong working relationship with each of them bringing a different perspective to the table. While he considers himself more of a suburbanite, Casey said that Harris has more of a rural background. “But we also think incredibly alike and I think what’s benefitted Hanover is that we can divide and conquer and not have to be in the same meeting at the same time to try to give what we think is good advice,” Casey said. Harris holds Casey in high regard and said their relationship will continue. “Joe Casey was an outstanding employee and friend for the 22 years that we were able to work together and we’re going to continue to work together in his role in Henrico County as well,” Harris said. “As I have stated before, I think he’s the best deputy county administrator in the whole state of Virginia.”

Hanover handles Confederates 61-39
Brown and Elliott lead Hawks with 17 each By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com
Dynamic senior guard Trayvonte Brown and freshman counterpart Jalen Elliott scored 17 points apiece on Thursday night to lead the Hanover Hawks past visiting Lee-Davis 61-39. Though the final score was decidedly lopsided, it was not an indication of the competitive nature and closeness of the game after the first quarter. Horrendous shooting by the Confederates allowed Hanover to take a comfortable 20-2 lead early. Lee-Davis shot a miserable 12.5 percent from the floor in the first half going 0-5 from 3-point range and 2-of-12 from the free throw stripe. Guard Josh Brown banked
in a 10-footer a little over two minutes into the game, but LeeDavis only added one more field goal before 40 seconds remained in the half. “We didn’t come out the way we prepared in practice,” said Lee-Davis head coach Robert Rice. “I attribute it a little bit to still being young but I can’t use that excuse forever.” For Hanover’s part, after the first quarter surge, they only widened their margin by four see HAWKS, pg. 26 ` Photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local

action last Thursday night. The Hawks (2-6, 1-2 Capital) were 11-of-28 from beyond the arc, led by Taylor Peay who scored 19 points on five 3-pointers. “We took a lot of them but we were fortunate that a lot of them went in,” said Hanover head coach Kevin Brooks. “A lot of good rhythm shots.” Hanover also got a huge boost from the return of Amber Norris, who missed nearly a month to injury and only returned to practice the night
before. Norris scored 16 points on four 3-pointers. However, Brooks felt Norris brought more than point production to his squad. “Amber getting back is huge for this team,” he said. “It was a different level in the gym. There was a different level of excitement, a different level of getting ready to go. Seeing how hard she fought to get back really lifted the spirits of a lot of our kids.” Lee-Davis (3-7, 0-4) came into the game short-handed
with only seven players available, but showed grit by leading through the first three quarters of action. The Confederates blistered the nets with 93 percent shooting from the free throw line, connecting on 14of-15 shots. Olivia Tuck scored the first six points of the contest for LeeDavis and finished with a game high 23 points. The C-feds only made one field goal in the first

over a minute into the second half. “I’m always concerned when any of our players get in foul trouble,” Thornton said. “I still just trust that we have that depth that we can go to that next guy on the bench because it has been a great team effort the way we’ve been practicing.” With Brown on the bench it was a signal for Elliott to step
things up as Lee-Davis suddenly started connecting from the floor. A put back basket by LeeDavis’ Josh Brown trimmed the Hawk lead to 34-19 with 4:04 remaining in the third when Elliott went to work. On a fast break, Elliott fed a wrap-around pass to Chris Gilliam for a score. Seconds later, Elliott drilled a three from the left baseline then set up to get a charge call on Ladarien Autry before coming back down court to score again for a 41-19 lead. “I knew that Coach and all the teammates had faith in me to come in and do my role,” Elliott said. “We just came out and played as a team.” Though only a freshman, Elliott feels he has had a smooth transition onto the varsity squad this season. “It’s been great,” he said. “Just coming in, having a good time, knowing that everybody’s behind me. Being the youngest player on the team it can be hard but they made it easy to transition into.” Lee-Davis was led by 17 points from Autry and 10 points from Brown but the standout Confederate of the night was Austin Rice who finished with eight of 10 Lee-Davis blocks in
in the fourth. Maci Morrison, who finished with 17 points for the C-feds, scored on a jumper 30 seconds in to put Lee-Davis ahead 42-39. Hanover quickly found an answer. Norris drilled a three from the left wing and Sydni Carey a jumper to give the Hawks a lead they would not relinquish, 44-42. Sarah Belcher then scored and was fouled. She missed the free throw but Peay outrebounded the taller C-feds and scored on a put-back for a 48-42 Hawks’ lead. Though giving up size to LeeDavis, Hanover proved efficient at boxing out and pulling down boards throughout the game. “It is definitely something that we battle against,” Brooks said. “We are definitely very, very
small. There isn’t a team we play against this year that has been close to the same height as us.” Lee-Davis responded. With four minutes to play, McIntyre’s basket closed the margin to 5048. Then a 3-point contest ensued. Hanover’s Michelle Omohundro connected on her second three of the night and Morrison answered with a three of her own. Peay drilled a trifecta from the right baseline and Morrison answered again. When Tuck connected on a jumper with 2:42 to play the game was tied 56-56. But Peay scored on a put-back and a three from Norris gave the Hawks breathing room. Though Tuck trimmed the margin to 61-58 with 41.9 seconds to play, Norris leaked

points over the remainder of the contest. Despite the Hawks’ in ability to open up a bigger lead, Hanover head coach Darren Thornton was pleased with his team’s effort. “I liked our intensity how we got out there defensively,” he said. “I know things didn’t really click totally the way I wanted them to click, but it’s been about two and half weeks since we played so I knew we had to get a little rust off.” The Hawks had 11 steals (Brown 3, Elliott 2) and forced 18 Lee-Davis turnovers which led to 16 face break points in the contest. Though the smaller team, Hanover outscored Lee-Davis 40-22 in the paint and outrebounded the C-feds 49-44. “Rebounding’s all about want and will and I think we had that as a team,” Elliott said. “We did our job tonight.” Thornton attributes the Hawks’ board work to the physical nature of the football players joining the team. “We’ve been practicing and going after it for the last couple of weeks is I think they’ve raised our level for that

rebounding,” he said. Holding a 26-5 lead with two minutes remaining in the second, Hanover faced a big obstacle when Trayvonte Brown was whistled for technical after bouncing the ball to an official, it was his third foul of the game. “I don’t know what was going on,” Brown said. “I was just trying to give him the ball. I think it was because I bounced it too
hard at him, but I apologized for that because I messed up my team. It won’t happen again, I can tell you that.” Thornton believes because he is such an emotional player, Brown is a lightning rod for misinterpretations of his actions by the officials. The technical foul was emphasized when Brown was called for his fourth foul barely

six minutes but kept pace on 6of-6 shooting from the line. For a majority of the contest the margin between the two teams remained within three points but Hanover jumped out to an early five point lead, 1510, on a rare four-point play when Peay was fouled by Kerstin Winston on a made three from the right wing. But Lee-Davis retook the lead 16-15, before the end of the quarter. Lauren McIntyre scored on a put-back and Kori Hughes added four points on a field goal and pair of free throws. The second and third quarters were repeats of the first, with Hanover taking a late lead only to see Lee-Davis pull ahead at

said. “Tonight was not our best night but I’ll give a lot of credit to Lee-Davis there, they put us in positions to not be able to make some of those plays.” Both offenses came alive
the game. Rice also added 13 rebounds and two steals for the C-feds. “He played extremely well,” said Robert Rice. “We’ve been looking for him to play that active all year long. That shows you a little of what he can do any given game. He’s a very talented guy. We’d love to run more offense through him. We’re really trying to get him the ball more because he does a great job on the inside for us. “Tonight he was the catalyst for us,” Coach Rice said. “If other guys can step up around him and play a little better, you never know, the outcome of this game could have been a lot different.” LEE-DAVIS (3-8, 0-5 Capital) — Talley 2, Brown 10, Shaw 0, Tuck 0, Stallings 0, Autry 17, Ramsey 0, Jones 0, Diehr 0, Rice 6, Caldwell 4.

Yellow Jackets shoot down Bullets 58-40 Randolph-Macon survives slow down game against Gettysburg By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The high-speed attack of the Randolph-Macon men’s basketball team faced a different and difficult challenge when they hosted Gettysburg (6-6) last Wednesday night. The Bullets’ offensive mission was anything but what their nickname implied, running the shot clock down to single digits on virtually every possession to force the Yellow Jackets to maintain defensive pressure for long periods of time. It was a style that had proved troublesome to RMC early in the year. “We’ve had trouble with it in the past,” said Yellow Jacket senior center Dylan Cole. “We kind of knew they were going to come out and try to slow us down so we just had to adjust our style of play a little bit.” Though Gettysburg implied their will on the pace of the game, it was Randolph-Macon (7-5) who took control to walk away with the 58-40 win. “They focused on slowing the ball down, try to get it as little possessions as possible just to kind of stay in the game,” said R-MC sophomore guard Connor Sullivan. “Our focus was to stay down, stay ready 35 seconds, play strong defense and that’s what we did.” Sullivan led the Yellow Jackets with 17 points on fiveof-six 3-point shooting. “Connor’s strength, as it was last year, is that he can really, really shoot the ball,” said R-MC head coach Nathan Davis. “He can put it on the floor and make pull-ups but the strength of his game is that he can really shoot the ball.”

Likewise, Davis has given Sullivan the green light to put up shots any time he is open. “I’m always confident,” Sullivan said. “Coach has ultimate confidence in my shooting the ball and in high school that’s what I did best and coming in here it’s translated over well. So I’m just going keep doing what I do best.” The Gettysburg pace kept the scoring low but with 7:49 left in the first half, the Yellow Jackets pulled ahead 18-5 on a Sullivan three. The lead reached 14 a little over a minute later when Akeem Holmes (4 points, 2 blocks) connected on a short jumper. The one deficiency in the Yellow Jackets first half game came on the offensive boards where the Bullets held an 113 rebounding edge. Gettysburg used the board work to their advantage when Davis sent the rarely used combination of Evan Jackson, Lamont Moore, Braeshaun Dozier and Chris Hamilton on the floor late in the first half.
After scoring only nine points in the first 14:24 of the game, Gettysburg went on a 110 run in three minutes to pull within 23-20. Though Davis had his starters at the scoring table, there were no breaks in the action to allow them to enter. “Part of it was just the youth we had,” Davis said. “Lamont missed a couple of layups, Braeshaun missed a couple of open shots, I thought that effected them at the other end and we couldn’t quite get out of it and they went on a little run to make it a competitive game at the half.” The Yellow Jackets clung to 27-23 lead but confident they could get back on track after the break. “We went into the locker room saying we know we can get these guys we’ve just got to stay focused on defense and we’ll get it,” Sullivan said. R-MC made an effort to work the ball inside in the second half and Cole took advantage of his strength, scoring 11 of his 16 points after halftime.
“We just had to pick the energy up and come out strong in the first four minutes of the second half as we did the beginning of the first half,” he said. Cole also finished with two blocks and seven rebounds in the contest as R-MC finished the game with a 38-30 advantage on the boards. The inside play of Cole and Andre Simon (8 points, 7 rebounds, block) then opened up the parameter for Sullivan. “Dylan was having his way in the post whenever he wanted,” Sullivan said. “Then you have guys like Andre, who’s so athletic, he caught so much attention those guys start sucking in and I’m wide open out side. It’s such a big help for me. Without those guys, it would be a lot easier to focus in and close in on the parameter shooters. With those guys it’s a whole lot easier.” The Yellow Jackets once again held Gettysburg to five points over the first 10 minutes of the half, pulling out to their largest lead 49-31 on a Cole layup with 7:47 to play.
Alex Zurn led Gettysburg with 18 points on 6-of-22 shooting. Marcus Badger dished out a game high five assists in the contest. On Saturday, R-MC hit the road, traveling to undefeated ODAC leader Randolph College. Lamar Giggetts led the Yellow Jackets with 21 points as R-MC narrowly fell, 66-65 to the Wildcats. Simon and Badger each had nine points, while Sullivan and Hamilton each scored eight for the Jackets. Cole snared a team-high nine rebounds as he and Giggetts helped R-MC to a 3827 edge on the glass. Randolph (12-0 / 4-0 ODAC) got 23 points and 11 rebounds from Colton Hunt. Chris Battaglia had 18 points and eight boards, while Mike Ehilegbu had 13 points for the WildCats.

Atlee’s Brooks comes up aces again Raider standout named All-Metro Player of the Year By Billy Fellin Richmond Times Dispatch Atlee’s Hailey Brooks has been in love since she was 7 years old. Like many first dates, Brooks was tentative at the start, but a momentous occasion has led to something she treasures. Despite ups and downs, Brooks and her love have been together through four years at Atlee and will continue their relationship as she leaves for South Florida. “It is everything to me,” she said. “It’s been my love and I will never, ever stop playing volleyball until I can’t. Even after USF, I want to continue playing for the rest of my life.” Brooks’ love of the game showed through her play on the court as she was Capital District, co-Central Region and Gatorade state player of the year. Now, she is The TimesDispatch’s All-Metro player of the year. “It’s a big honor,” she said. “My best friend, Meg Bowers, got (All-Metro player of the

The honors continue to pour in for Atlee senior volleyball player Hailey Brooks. Last week Brooks was named the Richmond Times Dispatch All-Metro girls volleyball Player of the Year.
year) last year, so it’s pretty cool to follow in her footsteps.” Brooks’ prowess from the serving line shined again as she extended her VHSL record for career aces by 177 to 581. “I didn’t know there was a record for amount of aces,” she said. “It means a lot. I never expected it. Since I beat it last year, I wanted to beat it again and beat it worse.”
Atlee went 31-3 this season, winning the Central Region title, but fell to Kellam 3-2 in the VHSL Group AAA final. Despite coming up short of her ultimate goal, Brooks said she looks back and sees a team that was competitive and fought hard the entire season. “We started off excited. We knew we had a really good chance at the state title,” she
said. “We kept that mentality the whole way through. We’re a really competitive team. I just think although we didn’t execute at the end, we lost Kayleigh (Moody), we lost momentum, but the whole season, we were really strong and competitive.” Brooks said her four years in blue and white have allowed her to grow as a player and a person, especially as she evolved
into a leader. “I’ve always had the mentality that I’m going to do my best on the court,” she said. “I’ve done that since I was a freshman. I’ve learned a lot of people skills, how to work with a team and encourage people. That developed more and more each year.” While Brooks will be new to the Bulls when she arrives, that won’t stop her from continuing what she did for Atlee. “I’m going to continue to be a leader and stay competitive because that’s how I’ve always
been,” she said. “I’m really excited for what we have there. USF had one of their best seasons this past year and I plan on continuing that.” While the Atlee student section chant of “click, click, boom” won’t follow her to Tampa, Brooks said she looks forward to the pressure of serving in college. “I like that kind of pressure. I like when other teams yell at me,” she said. “I like when my team gets excited for me. I really like that. It makes me hit it harder.”

Hanover wrestling wins fifth straight district duals By Brad Bess Richmond Times Dispatch The Hanover High School wrestling team won its fifth consecutive Capital District duals title Saturday at Varina High School. The Hawks went 7-0 despite not having a full roster. “We came in missing two weight classes, so we knew we had some points to make up,” Hanover coach Aaron Bradley said. “We hoped to finish where we are, but there were no guarantees with missing those two.” The Hawks were without a 106-pound wrestler and a heavyweight (285), but still managed to finish undefeated. Corbin Allen, a 138-pound sophomore, missed the 2012 season because of an injury, but returned this year to go 5-0 at the duals. “I feel great to be back on the mat, especially after losing my freshman year,” Allen said. “It was a good experience. (It feels) great to pull it out as a team. The team stepped up strong, pulled it out and we won.” Hanover’s Michael Engels

went 7-0 in the 152-pound division. “It feels pretty good,” said Engels, a senior. “Right now, I just feel like I handle competition pretty well, in my mind. It’s all a mental game really when it comes to who comes out on top. It takes years to build up the physical strength, but then, when you’re finally a senior, it’s
about what your mindset is and what you want to do with it.” Engels’ fellow senior, Michael Flora, went 6-1 at 126. “It was an overall good tournament for us. We didn’t really know what to expect coming in, because we had a lot of holes in our lineup and stuff, but we pulled through,” Flora said. “For the individual district tourna-
ment, I think all our guys will be confident with what they did here.” Host Varina finished 6-1 in the two-day meet, its only loss coming against Hanover, 37-33. “I think the guys were tested this weekend,” said Varina coach Curtis Johnson. “We won some good matches as a team. We wrestled, even the toughest
team, tough.” Daniel Dodd went 6-1 at 152 pounds for Varina. “It feels good because the four years I’ve been here, we haven’t done anything like that,” Dodd said. “Especially getting a close loss to Hanover, so it felt good.” Bradley and the Hawks won’t rest now that they’ve won another duals title. They’re looking
forward to what’s ahead. “We’ve got a couple more dual-match situations and then we’ll start getting ready for the individual tournaments,” Bradley said. “Postseason is what we’re training for.” Atlee went 3-3 in the meet. Complete Lee-Davis results were unavailable at press time. CAPITAL DISTRICT DUALS see DUALS, pg. 30 `
Patriots dive into warm-up meet against Goochland By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Patrick Henry swimming coach Bob Flanagan likes to have an early January meet, but he was running out of time to set one up. Fortunately for the Patriots, he found a willing competitor in the Goochland Bulldogs, who came to the Patrick Henry YMCA while still on their winter break. Even better for the Patriots, they won. The boys beat Goochland 120-43 and the girls won 119-31. The team results were something of a foregone conclusion given the smaller roster of the Goochland squad. But there
was plenty of competition in the water – some of it between swimmers, but a lot of it consisting of swimmers against themselves trying to beat their personal best times. “The swimmers did very well. We had quite a few … personal best times which was wonderful,” Flanagan said. “It was a good all-around meet. I think both sides had fun.” A number of Patriots had quite a good day. Multiple Patrick Henry boys’ winners included Thomas Perkins, a member of the 200-yard medley and 200 freestyle relay teams and an individual winner in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly; Ted Schubert on the 200

tational this week. “(This) week we’ll be traveling to Newport News,” Flanagan said. “We’ve been invited to the Kecoughtan Invitational. So a lot of these relays that you were able to see this evening are the same relays that will be competing there. Last year, I believe there were 500 swimmers at that meet. It’s a good way for us to get that real-life experience of how a relay is going to come in and lead off.” The Atlee swim teams will also compete at Kecoughtan. Goochland coach Elizabeth Ford was happy with the Bulldogs’ performance, especially given the short notice to prepare and the smaller roster. “We’re still on winter break, and we didn’t have this meet planned to begin with – we picked it up last minute. We had about five swimmers who were still out of town and enjoying their break,” Ford said. “We have a way smaller team -- we’re single A and they’re triple A, so it
makes a big difference. But our kids always come out and enjoy themselves and they at least worked to get their personal best times. We do have some starters who got first out here. They all do wonderful and that’s all we care about. They’re doing their best, and we do what we can with the number we have.” Justin Edwards and Mary Wright won events for Goochland. Edwards won the 100 breaststroke and Wright won the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke. “We were happy with all those results. Everyone else got great times,” Ford said. “We’re just working on building those times up – this is only our second meet of the year. … We’ve got some work to do, but they all know that.” Flanagan said it was difficult to single out a Patriot swimmer. “There were such great group efforts,” Flanagan said. “We definitely had some swimmers out there getting best times. We did
have a swimmer who qualified for states this evening – which is an extreme challenge. His name is Ted Schubert, and he was able to qualify in the 100 backstroke this evening, which is always a feat. Those times are difficult to come by.”

Yellow Jackets fall to defending ODAC champ Guilford, 69-57 Staff reports
Guilford used 48.3% shooting including a 16-for-28 mark in the second-half to get past Randolph-Macon women’s basketball, 69-57, on Saturday afternoon. Freshman forward Katie Anderson led R-MC (1-11, 13) offensively, going 5-for-13 from the field for 12 points. Lauren Vugteveen chipped in with eight points while Kellie Cortina posted seven points and a game high three steals. Guilford’s (9-3, 3-1) Brittany Drew had a game-high 12 points on 6-of-16 shooting. Gabby Oglesby and Logan Hardin joined Drew in doublefigures with 11 and 10 points, respectively. Ogelsby led Guilford with a game-high 10 rebounds on the afternoon, helping the Quakers to a 42-28 edge on the glass. Guilford’s defense was able to limit R-MC to a 33.9 shoot-
ing percentage (20-59) for the game, including 7-of-29 from the floor in the first-half. Guilford capitalized on the Jackets’ cold shooting, taking a 28-19 advantage into the locker room at intermission. The Quakers increased their lead to 17 after a 25-15 run during the first 10 minutes of the secondhalf of play. A trio of R-MC freshman currently sit among the league’s best.
