he National Day of Prayer was observed on Thursday, May 2, at the historic Polegreen Church site. The Foundation and its community partners marked the 62nd annual National Day of Prayer by meeting at the site significant to the Great Awakening period of American history as well as the place where Hanover’s own Patrick Henry received his instruction on the principles of religious freedom and civil liberty. First organized at Polegreen in 2008, this commemorative community program was cosponsored by several organizations and was ecumenical in nature. Past events welcomed clergy and lay representatives from Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center, the Virginia State Police and several local churches. Standing room only, visitors enjoyed prayers offered by these representatives for federal, state and local government as well as praying for members of the military. Among those participating were: Christopher K. Peace, Historic Polegreen Church Foundation, Mechanicsville; Sandy Sanders, Hanover Church of the Nazarene, Mechanicsville; Celeste Underdown, music teacher, Washington Henry Elementary School, Mechanicsville; Rev. Steve Starzer, Fairfield Presbyterian Church, Mechanicsville. Andrew Burrichter, manager, Outpatient Spiritual Care Services, Bon Secours, Mechanicsville; Sean Davis, Henry District

The next clue came when a friend text messaged her to make sure she was okay after spotting Saunders’ parents, who live in Fairfax, around town with her two teenage daughters. The secret visit was so the family could share Saunders’ joy.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
LETTERS
Remembering those who gave all for us
| Reader Views
In recent years, we as Americans have learned of our vulnerability concerning those who wish us harm. Sadly, some have succeeded; others continue to plan. But our spirit is never broken. Regardless of political lines in the sand, we unite as a nation when threatened — and we remember those who have sacrificed the ultimate price for our safety. As we prepare to observe Memorial Day 2013, we must take time to remember the men and women who have served our great land and defended our cause. With pride, I can say my family has served our country well in various branches of the military. Some made careers of serving, while others stepped up when called during wartime. Uncles and cousins served us well in World War II and Vietnam. One returned home in a box to my mother’s family’s native Kentucky. He did give it all for his country. Growing up on a farm in the coalfields of West Virginia, my father, like so many from my hometown, entered the military upon graduation. He was the youngest of four children and the only one to get that diploma. Dad, because of an inner ear injury he suffered as a child, could not follow his two older brothers into the U.S. Navy. The U.S. Army Air Corps, however, did accept him into service. He did a two-year stint between WWII and Korea. He was humble when referred to as a veteran. He was a Military Police officer and, probably due in large part to his upbringing, quite skilled with firearms. OK, in typical fashion, I tend to derail. So let’s get this back on track. On Monday, we have an opportunity to pay tribute and remember those who gave their lives in service to their country, our country. We are blessed by what they did for us — and what many continue to do in service for us. As usual, Hanover County will present a Memorial Day ceremony starting at 10 a.m. on Monday at Hanover Wayside Park. It is worth your while to attend. Melody Kinser

Atlee Little League loses cherished family member On May 3, Atlee Little League lost a cherished member of our family with the passing of J.D. Holzgrefe. J.D. served as a baseball manager in our league and was also a member of our Board of Directors. J.D. did not come to our league with an extensive background in the game of baseball. He did, however, bring a willingness to do whatever it would take to make our program better on a daily basis. He was always prepared to take on any challenge that we faced as a league. Likewise, J.D. strove to better himself and his players continually, often funding professional hitting and pitching lessons for his players out of his own pocket. His family, while lucky to have him, always had to share him with the rest of his team during the baseball season. J.D. will be missed at the Atlee Youth Sports Complex every spring when baseball season rolls around, but he will not be forgotten. Vince Lombardi once said that “. . . after all the pomp and fanfare have faded, the enduring thing that is left is the dedication to doing with our lives the very best we can to make the world a better place in which to live”. Please know that J.D. Holzgrefe did his best every day for the Atlee community. John Swierczewski President Atlee Little League Mechanicsville
and fought to protect our people and the great Flag. He did not know it was a violation to fly a torn flag and he thought of it as a battle flag. He said that when he went to Brunetti’s for lunch the next day, “I got an earful” of how I offended a veteran. He immediately returned to his shop and replaced the flag. He said he never had an intention to offend anyone and that he was making a patriotic statement. I have since been back to talk to Fred and I am awed by his knowledge and pride of American history and our legacy and current events. Fred also is very humble — he told me that his wife is an even better patriot than he is, but I am delighted to meet him and I believe that Fred Lange is a bigger local treasure than his golden treasures shop. Every teacher should invite Fred to speak to their class and I hope that others have the opportunity to stop in and chat with this great American. Patricia Lassiter Mechanicsville
New apartments and basic math
Betcha didn’t know that the Chickahominy District supervisor states in a letter to one of her constituents that she is voting for 172 new apartments in her district because it will bring in $100,000 per year in property taxes. Angela Kelly-Wiecek then estimates that the young professionals slated to live in the apartments will put 90 children in the Hanover school system. OK, let’s play ball. If our school budget is $177 million and we have 17,942 children enrolled, then we spend $9,865 per child. Nine thousand eight hundred sixty-five dollars per child times 90 new apartment children comes to $887,860 versus $100,000 in new tax revenue.

Verlanders share stories of sons’ sports successes When Richard and Kathy Verlander arrived at Liberty Middle School in Hanover County, they seemed like many of the other parents that you might see within any school on a daily basis. They were friendly, family-oriented, and proud when they talked about their two sons. The only way that you might detect that they were the parents of the Major League Baseball pitching ace Justin Verlander was by the Detroit Tigers cap worn by Richard. The Goochland residents were visiting the school to share some of their experience as parents of two sons that are living their dream as successful sports
figures. Justin recently signed a $180 million deal, the richest ever for a pitcher, with the Detroit Tigers. The Verlanders’ youngest son, Ben, also is a standout in the sport as a junior at Old Dominion University. Richard and Kathy Verlander recently published a book called “Rocks Across the Pond.” The book emphasizes the importance of mentors and role models in a child’s life. The Goochland County residents were invited to Liberty Middle School to share their knowledge of parenting and how to inspire people of all ages see VERLANDERS, pg. 17

to “live their dream.” A room full of middle school students and staff listened intently as Richard explained the progression of how his sons have worked hard to become successful. As Richard was playing with his 6-year-old son in the front yard, a neighbor observed that Justin had a great pitching arm and encouraged him to get involved with the local little league team. Richard admitted he initially knew nothing about baseball when Justin was young, so he bought a book called “How to Pitch.” By the time Justin entered second grade, his father said, “He was a handful.” His teacher, Marion Kramer, worked with her young student to encourage him to develop more focus.

ian to Marine instilled with pride, discipline and the core values of honor, courage and commitment. Training subjects included close-order drill, marksmanship with an M-16A4 rifle, physical fitness, martial arts, swimming,
By the time he was 15, he was the number four pitcher in the team’s lineup. “He was very ordinary and didn’t stand out. He had been labeled having trouble with control (in baseball terms). He threw so hard that people were terrified of him,” his dad exclaimed. Justin’s coach, Bob Smith, worked with the teen to harness that control and to once again help him focus (on where the ball should cross the plate). Richard gives credit to Kramer and Smith for believing in his son. “They knew he could do it and now he has the reputation for being at his best when a game is on the line. He is super focused,” Verlander said. As Richard shared these stories with the Liberty Middle School students, his message was clear: He wanted to convey that although people may tell
you that you can’t do something, there will be people that believe in you and help you follow your dreams. The elder Verlander stressed that “a goal is just a fantasy without a plan or in Justin’s case, control.” He engaged the young audience by asking them about the attributes required to accomplish their goals. A positive attitude and demonstrating good behavior were at the top of the list. “If you want to get noticed, you must be the best that you can be,” he said. Information submitted by Linda M.

HCSB moves forward with schedule realignment By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Hanover County School Board members received their first update on a scheduling realignment process they approved during their last budget negotiations. Following a report and recommendations issued by a Schedule Alignment Focus Group formed to imple-
ment the new plan, one School Board member seemed pleased with the preliminary findings. All teachers will be required to teach a new course of study during the additional block scheduling. “This is a process that caused a lot of heartburn, a lot of concern and a lot of comment initially,” Ashland representative Hank Lowry said. “What I’m
hearing tonight is that it ended up being a very positive process for our teachers, students and parents.” Daryl Chesley, assistant superintendent for instructional leadership, had high praise for a committee comprised of 30 members, including teachers, administrators and citizens who met over the past two months to devise a new block schedule plan.

The Focus Group arrived at three major recommendations for the plan implementation beginning for the 2013-2014 school year. They are: ✏ All high school students will be allowed to take an eighth class, either a study hall or an academic course. ✏ Bell schedules will be aligned in all four county high schools. ✏ Teachers will teach a sixth section to accommodate the increased student classes. Chesley said the plan has built-in advantages, including more flexibility for students. More than 50 percent of students have selected academic

classes in lieu of study hall time. There also is a flexible time period in the new schedule for club activities, remedial work or independent study. “Principals are excited about this. It’s built-in time in their schedules that they can use for a variety of reasons,” Chesley
said. The new plan also identified and clearly defined teacher duties such as bus and lunch duty and placed limits on the amount of time spent on those non-academic pursuits. In other business, Dr.

some in their government are trying to do under the guise of “safety” and “reasonableness.” We are very fortunate in Virginia that our legislature and governor did not fall prey to the emotional appeals to undo what our forefathers worked so hard to be able to leave us, but we are still not out of the woods. The anti-gunners will not be content with their recent loss in the Senate and will continue to bring the subject up. So, it is critical that the folks in Mechanicsville can have the facts at their disposal to inform their senators of what their duty is. Tim Raiford Mechanicsville
Responding to gun issue It is as apparent as it is sad that some liberals, notably Steve Sneed, do not seem to let facts interfere with their pre-formed ideology, no matter how warped and defective it may be. I suppose that is why the liberals in our government are still trying to spend borrowed money to reduce our debt. Explain to me again how that is going to work. In order to draw attention away from their rampant, unchecked spending, social experimentation (more properly called mutilation), and national security bungling that has culminated in the so-called Arab Spring and the Benghazi fiascos, they have followed Rahm Emanuel’s advice to take advantage of the “crisis” of the Sandy Hook shootings to advance their waiting anti-gun agenda. Since Mr. Sneed, a true believer, has shared his misinformation and bad ideas with us, I feel obligated to point out a few of the deficiencies in his letter. To correct him once again,
he was not only wrong about the word “banned,” he is wrong about the word “prohibited,” which is essentially synonymous. The correct word is “regulated and taxed,” because fullyautomatic weapons are treated like alcohol and gambling by the government – they are not prohibited, they are simply treated as a source of revenue. After Prohibition was ended, the government realized that it had spawned a cottage industry run by organized crime, and the government simply took over the franchise. Same with gambling. Mr. Sneed also is wrong about Class III dealers – there are many and they can transfer the weapons to your local dealer if he/she does not have a Class III license upon payment of a tax. The transfer tax is $200, not a huge sum, and has not changes since the 1930s. The point, however, was simply to point out only one of Mr. Sneed’s many errors. Mr. Sneed then goes on with the classic big government statist line that the government must act in the “best interest of society” or else we would have anarchy. Who is going to decide what exactly the “best interest of society” is, Mr. Sneed? You and your liberal friends? I remember an Austrian paper hanger with a mustache who thought a lot of things, including genocide, were in the best interest of society. That, Mr. Sneed, is exactly what the Founders feared. Mr. Sneed’s contempt seems to know no bounds when he calls people who like their guns and enjoy their sport “addicts” as if they were sick people. He then insults all gun owners further by saying that they a hobby is “compensation for certain shortcomings.” Boy, I’ll bet that clever, original remark got a lot of sniggers from your friends over their lattes. The fact is that Americans have a love affair with freedom, and their guns are simply a part,
and a necessary part, of that freedom. There have always been people like Mr. Sneed who would give up the freeMultiple local growers bring you their fruits, vegetables, herbs, plants, Right on, Steve Snead!

The rule of law seems to have been replaced by whatever they decide, despite the fact that our system has endured for hundreds of years and created more freedom and wealth than any When We Buy Carpet In Big Rolls, We Pay Less — So You Save More! other in the history of mankind.

Blue Star Football & Cheerleading Making HISTORY and TRADITIONS in Hanover – Mechanicsville for 43 years.
Taylor Crabbe didn’t celebrate her 16th birthday in the usual way. Rather than the hoopla normally associated with “Sweet 16,” she chose to continue a family tradition by taking to the skies. A third generation pilot, Taylor took her first solo flight on April 10, which just so happened to be her 16th birthday. Taylor’s mother Hope said that Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) regulations require that a pilot must be 16 to perform a solo flight. The teen flew out of Hanover County Airport. Her flight instructor is Todd Kallenbach, who her mom said is “a seasoned instructor with more than 20 years of experience.” Flying is all in the family with the Crabbe clan. Taylor has grown up in aviation and worked at the family business, Crabbe Aviation in Mechanicsville. Matt Crabbe, Taylor’s dad, did his first solo at 18 at the same airport.

Taylor Crabbe of Mechanicsville celebrated her 16th birthday on April 10 by making her first solo flight.
Hope said her daughter was determined and set her goal of flying on her 16th birthday. “She has always loved airplanes, the smell of jet fuel on her dad and being part of her family business,” Hope also said about Taylor.
Matt did help Taylor get started, but, Hope added, “she set up her lessons and goals on her own.” Sister Tori joined Taylor’s parents in extending congratulations on her successful solo flight.

especially to tighten gun regulation. Just one quibble: Samuel Johnson wasn’t an American, but a Brit! Bill Butler Mechanicsville
Discouraged by outcome On May 1 at 5 p.m. the “Voluntary Tax Donation” event was held at the historic Hanover Courthouse. I’m proud to say that I attended but was very discouraged by the outcome. I am so naive to have thought people were going to be lining up to pay what they perceive to be their fair share. The event was an opportunity for the hundreds, maybe even thousands, of Hanover citizens to come out and help out our county with their voluntarily contributions.
Our county, just like most throughout the country, continues to struggle to offset the downward pressure of the federal government’s reckless spending, which has led to the slowest economic recovery in history. During the ongoing budget debate here in Hanover County, I heard there were many folks begging and pleading to have their taxes raised. Sadly, there was not one single tax increase proponent at the event. There was not one single dollar collected for the children! Coordinators of the event were there and prepared for donations of any size. But at the end of the day all of the jars were still empty. It seems that the big tax proponents want to use the coercive power of government to over-tax the hard-working folks so that unsustainable irresponsible spending may continue. Good stewardship and personal responsibility will go a
long way toward providing the services we all need and can be done with a smaller government. Famous economist Milton Friedman had this common sense analysis about money: 1. You can spend your own money on yourself. When you do that, you really watch out what you’re doing, and you try to get the most for your money. 2. You can spend your own money on somebody else. For example, I buy a birthday present for someone. Well, then I’m not so careful about the content of the present, but I’m very careful about the cost. 3. I can spend somebody else’s money on myself. And, when I do, I’m sure going to have a good lunch! 4. I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And when I do, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get. Proud but sad, W.S. Wright Hanover

the words or use the words also have a chance for rewards. Students have learned about five words a month all year. Last year, Saunders ran a school-wide program through which students collectively read for 1 million minutes. Saunders said she enjoys analyzing data and coming up with strategies to teach kids to read – probably because she graduated from the University of Virginia’s School of Business and spent several years in banking before going to George Mason University to get certified to teach. She said teaching is in her blood, since both of her parents were educators in Fairfax County. After several years teaching third grade, Saunders took a class on reading, and her interest grew, prompting her to seek a specialist’s certification in the field. She’s now pursuing a doctoral degree in education leadership. “It’s a very strait-laced sec-

You feel like a rock star. You feel like you’re making a difference. They want to learn what I have to teach,” she added. Finch said Saunders is willing to step up and help with anything: from grading math papers to ordering staff t-shirts. “She really does anything and everything we need. There couldn’t be a more deserving person,” Finch said. During remarks at the award presentation, Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, thanked not only Saunders, but all teachers. “I know without a shadow of a doubt that what we do every day, what we accomplish every

Boy Scout Troop 531 and the Asphalt Angels Car Club will be hosting their 2nd Annual Car Show and Craft Show from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, May 25, at Immanuel Episcopal Church in Old Church where the Boy Scouts meet each month. There will be cars, trucks and motorcycles, as well as many craft vendors. The church will be holding a yard sale to support a Mission Trip. The Scouts began their Car Show last year as a way to support their trip to South Carolina to visit Patriots Point and stay on the USS Wisconsin. It was so successful that the Asphalt Angels joined them this year and the Scouts are raising funds for a camping trip on the Eastern Shore to explore the marshes and kayak. Hanover County Fire/EMS will have the Smoke House as well as safety demonstrations. The Boy Scouts will have a Pinewood Derby track for the kids to race a car or they can build their own Pinewood Derby car. There will be music, food and fun. The Car and Craft Show is free for spectators. The fee to participate in the Car Show is $5 for Show and Shine and $15 for the judged categories. Vendors wishing to take part in the craft show will be charged a fee of $30 a spot with a table or $15 if you bring your own. For more information, contact Jim Thomas at 804-370-7356.

When she talks about her high school years, Meghan said, “I honestly am so blessed to have been able to attend my four years at Lee-Davis High School. I have grown up with the majority of these kids and wouldn’t have wanted to spend high school with anyone else.” “My family has always and will continue to have a positive influence in my life,” she added.
“My parents have succeeded in keeping our Christian faith at the core of my family, which I credit a lot to the person I am today.” “Also, a special shout-out to my school counselor and SODA sponsor, Mrs. [Amy] Couillard, for all of her hard work in the college process, because I know she wanted to be in the newspaper just as much as I did,” Meghan said.

The Parsons’ Cause Foundation has released the calendar of activities for the Parsons’ Cause re-enactments related to Virginia and Hanover historic events. All performances will be held at 11 a.m. at the Historic Hanover Courthouse. The Parsons’ Cause – Prelude to Revolution On Dec. 1, 1763, a country lawyer from Hanover stepped from obscurity into the forefront of legal and political circles in Virginia. His name was Patrick Henry. The event that shaped his destiny was the trial of The Parsons’ Cause.

Debbie Boone spoke during citizen’s time on her proposal to amend the county’s anti-bullying policy. She recommended implementing a plan that takes a different focus from the current codes. “It’s not what to avoid. It’s what you want them to do,” Boone said. “It’s a different approach in that aspect.” She said her plan would focus more on what is expected

Henry challenged the two most potent entities of colonial Virginia: the king and the clergy. The case proved to be one of the opening salvos of the revolution, and started Henry on the path of becoming the “Voice of the Revolution.” Show dates are June 22, July 27 and Aug. 24. Patrick Henry – The Voice of Liberty Hear Henry, in the last year of his life, as he reflects on his childhood, two marriages, religious convictions, love of children, various careers and key contributions to the formation of the United States. The talk also includes
excerpts from Henry’s best known speeches. Show dates are July 13 and Aug. 3 The Virginia Debates on the Ratification of the United States Constitution 2013 marks the 225th anniversary of the Virginia debates concerning the proposed Constitution for the United States of America. James Madison and Edmund Pendleton argue in favor of ratification, while Patrick Henry and George Mason are opposed. Show dates are July 20 and Aug. 10. George Washington – My Life, the Revolution and
Hanover County The father of our country reflects on his life, the battles and turning points of the revolution, his connection to Hanover County and the importance of leadership. Show dates are June 29 and Aug. 17. Lafayette – My Travels through Hanover County The Marquis de Lafayette expounds on his commitment to the American Revolution, his close ties to George Washington, and his travels through Hanover County during the war. Show date is July 6. For more information, contact John Tucker at 804-8374900.
of students and less on punitive punishment. A key element of that plan is implementing a Student Advisory Council. Boone volunteered her services to implement and monitor the plan, and even offered to collect data to ensure the program is scientifically based. “You have to get personal. You have to do discussions and have role-playing with the students so they understand the dynamics of the behavior you are expecting,” Boone said. She said successes have been
realized in similar programs with students and prisoners. The new approach seeks to make the bully part of the system and not an outsider. David Myers, assistant superintendent for finance, said he anticipates a revenue surplus of around $3 million when the year ends. That figure is in line with past amounts returned to the county in unspent funds. Myers also presented the School Board with an amended 2013-2014 budget that reflects
reduced costs for purchasing personnel and the elimination of the school’s debt reduction service. In a move to improve efficiency, the school’s purchasing and finance services have now been consolidated, and school debt will now be serviced through the county’s debt reduction fund. The consolidation resulted in a savings of $390,000, and the debt reduction fund savings amounted to around $15 million that equates to a $162.1 million revised budget.

Members of the Hanover High School Orchestra recently traveled with The Mechanicsville Local to Nashville, Tenn., for their bi-annual trip. Their agenda was packed as they visited such places as the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Ryman Theater and attended a performance by the Nashville Symphony at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center. They stayed at the Gaylord Opryland and took a boat ride on the famous General Jackson Showboat on the Cumberland River. One of the many highlights of the trip was a personal tour of Studio B where Elvis Presley recorded for many years. The students can now be included on the list of hundreds of performers who made their start at the studio as they recorded their own live version of Elvis’ “You Ain’t Nothing But A Hound Dog”! They ended their four-day trip with a day of fun at Dollywood Theme Park in Pigeon Forge. Lucretia Davis, orchestra director, helped facilitate the trip. She is described as working to instill superior values in each of her students as evident in their fundraising events throughout the year. The support of the HHS Orchestra Boosters and the continuing support of local businesses also made the trip possible. The HHS Orchestra will present its Spring Concert at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29, at Hanover High School.

Above left: sophomore India Lowe ran away with the 300 hurdles title. Lowe also won the 100 hurdles and 200. Above right: Sophomore Bryce Simpson won the pole vault, clearing 13-03.00.
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Atlee High School outdoor track and field teams put a crowing achievement into their trophy case last week at Glen Allen by capturing both the boys and girls Capital District championships in the final year under its current configuration. “I think every title you win is exciting,” said Atlee head coach Jim Triemplar. “The final two maybe a little more so because you feel like you put a cap on the end, plus you get to keep the final trophy.” The Atlee girls out-distanced Lee-Davis 162-132 followed by
Henrico, Highland Springs and Hanover. The boys’ competition turned into a two-team race as Atlee held off Highland Springs 165-150.5. Varina was a distant third followed by Lee-Davis and Hanover. Triemplar was especially pleased with how his teams went about their business to get the wins. “The sport sometimes can be individually oriented but I think both boys and girls teams blended together and conducted themselves very much in a team manner. I was really proud of that,” he said. “One of the things we’ve had a
little bit of trouble with is the kids get too focused on personal bests and not worrying about their places in races and how they are contributing to the team. I think that finally got through the heads of some of them and they got through worrying about their personal bests, placed very well, made a great contribution to the team and low and behold, they got personal bests. If you race hard and just think about beating the opposition the personal bests are going to come.” The weather conditions were far from optimum throughout the two-day event, limiting
record times or state qualifications. Wednesday’s extremely blustery weather hampered distance and speed. Thursday’s schedule was interrupted by a nearly hour and a half storm delay, which brought teams back to a soaked venue. “Kids are resilient,” Triemplar said. “The negative is, we came back on a rolling schedule which athletes are going to get a little less rest between races. I think if you weren’t very well conditioned, the ones that were lesser conditioned may be effected a little bit more. I think ours compensated by their adrenaline rush because we had
several came back on doubles and they seemed to race pretty darned good.” The Atlee girls won only five events on the day but took the championship with a depth of talent that raked in the points. Sophomore India Lowe led the way for the Raiders with three district titles; the 100 hurdles, 300 hurdles and 200. Junior Betsey Chilcoat claimed the discus title while Atlee foursome Katie Gardner, Scarlett Bavin, Dezi Bennett and Chloe Bavin took the 4x800 relay title. As has become norm, Hanover County schools dominated the pole vault. Lee-Davis
junior Madison Angus cleared a state qualifying 10-03.00 to win the event while teammate Kaitlin O’Kelly tied Atlee freshman Sasha Osipenko for second. Hanover junior Samantha Seymour was fourth followed by the Atlee foursome of Numa Rehmani, Erin McDaniel, Val Miller and Lisa Rieckhoff. In the shot put, Lee-Davis senior Kori Hughes took second, Atlee’s Chilcoat fourth and Hanover’s Jazmin McCormick seventh. Chilcoat edged out Hughes by four inches for the discus

Classmate Charlie Buyas was third while senior Scott Utterback and junior Henry Buyas finished fifth and sixth. Lee-Davis sophomore Michael Doggett took fourth and classmate DJ Petty came in seventh. Atlee dual state qualifier Austin Cannon won both the shot put and discus for the Raiders. In shot put, the sophomore out-distanced LeeDavis junior Russell Munn by nearly four feet with a throw of 50-04.75. Atlee junior Evan Griffey came in fourth followed by Hanover junior Ryan Long and freshman Tanner Lacey. Lee-Davis senior Andy Ordaz came in seventh. In discus, Cannon outdistanced Long by nearly 13 feet with a throw of 138-08.00. Atlee junior Chris Rochefort took fourth and teammate Randall Claytor seventh. Lee-

Seniors seal district bid for Confederates
By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Facing a must-win situation, Lee-Davis qualified for the Capital District baseball tournament – with a little help from a rival. Of course, the Confederates had to do some work themselves, and they did, knocking off a stubborn Highland Springs team 4-1 Friday to place a hold on a tournament bid. They then had to wait for Atlee to knock off Glen Allen, which the Raiders did later that night with a 5-3 victory, to avoid a play-in game and know if their berth was secure. The scenario put the Confederates in the unusual position of having to root for Atlee. “I’m sure some of these kids want to get over there and watch the game,” said Lee-Davis coach Kenny Lewis. “We took care of business, now we need to root for Atlee. … It’s always Lee-Davis first for us, and we don’t mind rooting for other people when we can’t root for ourselves. Right now, we’re still in the fight, so we’ve got to look out for No. 1.” The Confederates, seeded No. 3, will try to repay secondseed Atlee by defeating the Raiders in a district tournament

Lee-Davis second baseman Sean King (3) forces Highland Springs third baseman Austin Newcomb out to end the Springers’ second inning in the Confederates’ 4-1 victory on Friday. In order to earn a berth in the Capital District Tournament, Lee-Davis had to beat Highland Springs then root for rival Atlee to defeat Glen Allen.
semifinal Tuesday night, 7 p.m. at Glen Allen. Top seed Hanover will host Varina in the 5 p.m. semifinal. Before worrying about the district tournament, Lee-Davis had to worry about Highland Springs, but the Springers, despite their lack of a win in district play, were no pushovers. “Highland Springs is not
a bad team,” Lewis said. “We hit the ball at them, they made plays. They did the last time. … I look at the scores in the paper. They’re not getting blown out night after night, so no – we take nothing for granted.” Springer starting pitcher Mekel Crawford did his best to keep the Confederates on a tight leash, striking out seven Lee-
Davis batters in five innings of work. Crawford, tagged with the loss, would have left the mound facing just a one-run deficit were it not for an error that led to two Lee-Davis runs in the second inning. Highland Springs coach Hayes Smith said his pitchers have to work on being mentally tough.
“Our pitching has not been bad this season,” Smith said. “We work on that – on the mental approach – because we make a lot of errors.” Offensively, the Springers had chances with base-runners every inning, but with the exception of the sixth, could not get any of them home. “We … had a few chances,” Smith said. “We couldn’t buy that big hit.” Lee-Davis got a few big hits, though. Shortstop Brandon Johnson, second baseman Sean King and center fielder Patrick Holler each had two hits apiece, with one of King’s hits being a double and one of Johnson’s a triple. But the biggest Confederate hit of the night came from third baseman Jacob Johnson in his final at-bat of the regular season. He had struck out his first two at-bats. In the bottom of the sixth inning, he drove a fastball from Highland Springs reliever Jalen Carter toward the rightcenter field wall. It bounced off the top of the wall and out of play for a home run. “It feels awesome,” Jacob Johnson said. “I didn’t have many at-bats this year, so to finish [with a home run] the last one of the season is pretty sweet.
Couldn’t ask for anything better.” Jacob Johnson was pumped up after stopping what should have been a big hit for the Springers in the top of the inning. “I had just made the diving catch at third. My adrenaline was just pumping,” he said. “I got up [to the batter’s box] thinking, ‘Just don’t strike out.’ … I was too busy sprinting around first base and going to second. I was just worried about getting on base and wasn’t even looking at the wall. I knew it was a home run when everybody else started cheering.” Aside from being happy with the win, Lewis was proud of his starting lineup – a special one for that night. “I started all the seniors and they played the entire game,” Lewis said. “I’ve not been able to do that in the past all the time, but I’m really proud that I could do that, so that the seniors could play the entire game of what for some of these kids will be their last game of organized baseball.” Highland Springs 000 001 0 – 1 5 1 Lee-Davis............. 120 001 x – 4 9 2 Crawford, Carter (6) and Loving.

Randolph-Macon falls in NCAA regional Staff reports The Randolph-Macon baseball team was unable to make school history last week, falling in back-to-back NCAA DIII South Regional games in Millington, Tenn. The Yellow Jackets appeared to be in perfect position to pick up the school’s first ever NCAA regional victory in the opener, leading second-seeded Salisbury 2-0 in the ninth. But Salisbury scored three
unearned runs in the bottom of the inning to pull out a 3-2 win and send R-MC into an elimination matchup against top-seeded Huntingdon. Errors proved the Yellow Jackets’ undoing versus the Hawks as Huntingdon sent R-MC home with a 5-0 win. Against Salisbury, R-MC starting pitcher Matt Fischgrund was outstanding, departing after surrendering a leadoff single in the bottom of the ninth with
the Jackets holding a 2-0 lead. He allowed four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in eight innings, his longest outing of the season. Will Jennings (Patrick Henry) came in from the pen and gave up a base hit to left to put a pair on for the Seagulls (317), ranked No. 4 in the nation. A sacrifice bunt was thrown away down the right field line, allowing both runners to score and moving the potential winning
run to second. Jennings struck out the next two hitters before an infield hit put runners on the corners. Leadoff hitter Kyle Hayman hit a grounder to first and was called safe on a close play at first as the winning run crossed the plate. R-MC lit the scoreboard in the top of the first. After freshman DH Mitch Keeler (Atlee) was robbed on a diving catch by centerfielder Bill Root, senior second baseman Jake
Fletcher and senior outfielder Jeb Weymouth (Hanover) drew consecutive walks. After a wild pitch moved both into scoring position, freshman outfielder Michael Trentham (James River) drew a base on balls to load the bases. Sophomore catcher Tim Benjamin grounded out to first to plate Fletcher with the first run. Freshman shortstop Travis Lodge (Matoaca) walked to reload the bases, but the Jackets left the bases loaded with a 1-0
lead. The Jackets added to their lead in the fifth. Keeler and Fletcher had consecutive singles with one away before Weymouth was hit by a pitch to load the bases. Trentham grounded out to short to bring in Keeler and give R-MC a 2-0 advantage. R-MC finished with three hits and stranded seven. Facing Huntingdon, senior

Hawks claw their way into district tourney By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Hanover varsity boys’ soccer team came into Friday night’s matchup against Varina facing a must-win situation. After multiple losses during an uncanny slow start to the season, the Hawks had to defeat the visiting Blue Devils in order to secure a berth in this week’s Capital District playoffs. The Hawks scored early then battled to keep pesky Varina from tying the game for nearly 70 plus minutes of action to escape with a 1-0 victory. Hanover first year coaches Laurent Body and assistant Manny Tavares faced the difficult task of getting the Hawks to understand the importance of the game while not creating anxiety. “There was a bit of pressure,” Tavares said. “I didn’t want to lead the boys on that they had to win the game to make the playoffs, but I also needed to somewhat show the emphasis of winning. I tried keeping them as calm as possible and didn’t want to let them know that they had to win the game.” However, the Hanover players knew what was at stake. “We knew we had to win, as much pressure and that brings I guess,” said senior defender
Aaron Tiller. The adjustment between new coaches and players rather than lack of talent contributed to the early season losses by the Hawks. “I think it was more the chemistry than anything, coming into a group of people who had been with a coach for four or five years,” Tavares said. “It was a learning curve for both the coaches and the players. Midway through the season we connected and the team has been doing great ever since.” Varina brought its own form of pressure to the contest. Though winless in district play, the Blue Devils proved themselves anything but inept down the stretch, especially on defense. Even top-seeded Atlee found the going tough at Varina a week earlier, escaping with a 2-1 win. “I think their will to win and just their physical presence has caused a lot of disturbance for good teams,” Tavares said. “My hat’s off to them. They tried their best to win the game.” Tiller agreed. “They’re much better than when we played them the last time,” he said. “They’re fast, physical, they want it. They’re fun to play against. It’s frustrating but that’s their game. You’ve got to respect that.” Hanover took advantage of a corner in the 11th minute of play

an out in the ninth. The Hawks snapped the scoreless tie in the top of the fourth. Tyler Blackwell had a one-out single, moved to second on a groundout by Austin White and came home on a double to left center by Evan Agnew to make it 1-0. Huntingdon added an unearned run in the sixth as Blackwell was hit by a pitch, was sacrificed to second, stole third and came home on a throwing error to make it 2-0. The Hawks added three unearned runs following four R-MC errors in the

right-hander Michael Helbig (Midlothian) pitched well, but suffered the loss in his final collegiate start. He allowed five runs, but only one was earned, in 7.1 innings with eight hits, three walks and two strikeouts.

Williamson and sophomore lefty Sid Harvey each recorded

as Tiller launched the ball to the right side of the box where classmate Scott Carroll connected for the game’s only score. While Hanover continued to pressure the ball into the offensive side of the field, Varina was masterful at keeping the Hawks out of the box. Likewise, Blue Devils’ athletic keeper Calvin Coleman (9 saves) snared or batted away any shot that came close to the goal. However, Varina could not efficiently move the ball on offense and only provided a serious threat in the final two minutes of action. Hawks’ senior keeper Ben McIlwaine and classmate Bryon Eubanks did their best to make sure that did not happen. McIlwaine finished with three saves while Eubanks controlled the middle. With the win, Hanover earned the #4 seed in this week’s Capital District tournament and will face #1 Atlee at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening at Glen Allen. Ironically, after going from a must-win situation, the Hawks now face no pressure knowing they have already exceeded outside expectations.

Gutierrez could have succumbed to senioritis and mailed in the remainder of the season. Instead they took a different approach and fought back. “No one expected us to even be in the playoffs,” Tavares said. “They assumed that with all the seniors that were graduating we wouldn’t be able to even go this far and I think it’s a credit to the boys, Coach Body and myself eighth to stretch the lead to 5-0. to just continue on and push The Jackets put a pair in scoring position in the bottom of the first.

and keep winning and just keep playing a good game and loving the game.” Despite barely making the tournament, the Hawks will enter the playoffs as one of the hottest teams in the league. “I feel like we could be dangerous,” Tiller said. “I feel like we have a lot of potential. I feel like if we play like we can, play our game, we’ve got a pretty good chance. “A lot of times we go in with
the pressure of being the one that’s expected to win and we under impress,” Tiller said. “So it will be nice if we go in with no expectations and we overachieve.” Varina.................................. 0 0 — 0 Hanover............................... 1 0 — 1 H: Carroll Saves: Rombach (V) 9; McIlwaine (H) 3 Records: Varina 0-12-1, 0-11-1 Capital; Hanover 6-9-1, 6-5-1

Atlee girls lacrosse claims GRLL championship The Atlee girls lacrosse team beat Midlothian 11-6 on Thursday to claim their first Greater Richmond Lacrosse Championship. The third time was a charm for Atlee, with Midlothian edging Atlee by a single goal in each of the previous two years. Atlee would not be denied this year. After Midlothian opened the scoring on a goal by Abby Williams, Atlee responded 27 seconds later with a goal by Lindsay Lloyd off a feed by Emily Smith. Atlee then went on a run with senior Lauren Winfrey recording two of her five goals. Sarah Hatch scored a point blank goal off a pass from Jessica Sanfilippo to give Atlee a 4- 1 lead that they would not relinquish. Casey Reagan scored for Midlothian but Atlee freshman Haley Anna answered 23 seconds later. Winfrey and Lloyd added goals to close out the half for a 7-4 Atlee lead. Atlee’s defense took over in the second half, limiting Midlothian to two goals. The defense was led by senior Steff Staples who consistently made end-to-end

Cannon’s target is long range By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com With a surname to match his abilities, perhaps Atlee sophomore Austin Cannon was destined for greatness as a track and field athlete from the day he was born. Call it fate, irony or coincidence, the strong arm of Cannon has allowed him to explode onto the scene this year as one of the Central Region’s top field athletes in both shot put and discus. The irony is not lost on Austin. “I thought it was just like ironic that I’m throwing a shot put ball and my last name’s Cannon, just trying to launch like a canon,” he said. Standing six foot three and weighing in at over 285 pounds, Cannon is certainly built like a Howitzer and loaded with such raw talent it enabled him to reach the state meet in both events as a freshman. But Cannon admits he may have trivialized the sports’ importance, finishing the 2012 event eighth in shot put and 10th in discus. Atlee head coach Jim Triemplar feels youth most likely played a factor in Cannon’s approach as a freshman. “He probably didn’t really realize how important it’s become to some people, himself included,” Triemplar said. “This has become a big part of his life. Last year he was just a big old boy throwing a heavy object. Now he probably realizes it’s an opp or tu n it y to meet a lot of people and maybe really open some doors for yourself.”
Coming into his sophomore season Cannon changed his attitude toward the sport and the results have been notable. “I’ve gotten more mature with the event. Gotten more experience. I’ve gotten stronger,” he said. “I’ve taken the sport to another level with being more serious about it. “Last year I didn’t take it as serious,” Cannon said. “I was like, ‘Oh, okay. I’m throwing pretty far for a freshman.’ I knew I could go longer distances so I put in more time than I’ve ever put in, in the past years from middle school to this point.” Because Atlee does not have a coach designated to throwers; Cannon coordinated his own training to prepare for the season. “It’s been my motivation to be the best out there and in order to be the best out there you’ve got to put in the work constantly,” he said. Cannon took guidance from his middle school coach Mark Highland, who continued to offer advice after teaching him the sport from scratch as a youngster. Cannon also attended a summer camp to hone his technique,
reviewed endless hours of professional throwers on YouTube and even dabbled in yoga. “I just put it into work and it’s how I like it,” he said. Cannon came into the season with a specific set of goals, one of which included breaking the school shot put record of 5301.75 set by former Atlee standout Shawn Allen in the 2007 Central Region Indoor meet. In April, Cannon nearly put his name in the Atlee record books with a state-qualifying throw of 52-11.75 at the Douglas Freeman Five Team Meet. Cannon matched the distance two weeks ago at the Milestat Southern Track Classic at Sports Backers Stadium. Cannon has been equally impressive at discus. He surpassed the state qualifying mark of 148-01 in his third meet of the season with a throw of 15004 at the Atlee 6-Team Meet. Since that time he has only thrown under the state qualifying mark twice. Cannon took second in shot put and third in discus as a freshman i n
the Capital District championships. Last week he won both events despite foul weather and off days in the circles. “I feel that I could have done better in both events,” Cannon said. “(Discus) I didn’t really have a motivation but I still gave it everything I’ve got.” In extremely windy conditions, Cannon won the event with a throw of 138-08, nearly 13 feet further than Hanover’s Ryan Long who took second. Due to storms, the shot put went into nearly an hour and half delay just as Cannon’s flight was due up. When competition resumed, darkness was creeping in, the weather much cooler and the circle wet. “You have to adapt to the weather and I don’t think I adapted as well as I usually do,” Cannon said. Despite the conditions, he outthrew his nearest competitor, Russell Munn of Lee-Davis, by nearly four feet to win with a distance of 50-04.75.
For Triemplar, Cannon further emphasized his maturity with is approach throughout the event. “I saw a little bit this meet,” the coach said. “Even though he didn’t perform as well, he understood he didn’t need to, but he expects to use that and motivate himself for the next one.” Cannon understands he will be pushed in this week’s Central Region meet by the likes of Deep Run’s Ian Stoner and J.R. Tucker’s Ben Melton. At the same time, Cannon knows he will be much more comfortable competing against the quality talent. “I’ve thrown with these guys long enough to know what they do,” he said. “Last year I was kind of nervous, I thought region was kind of like a big thing. This year
knowing I can throw farther or just as far as them kind of gives me that comfort zone and the competitiveness in our Central Region is off the charts right now.” To his advantage, Cannon will be competing in one of his favorite arenas. “I like Sports Backers. I love Sports Backers. I’ve always thrown well there,” he said. “Honestly I can’t tell you the last time I threw bad there.” Likewise, Cannon also appears to have developed a mindset that will allow him to improve his finish in states despite traveling to an unfamiliar venue in Newport News. “That’s going to be an adjustment but I’m pretty good at making adjustments,” he said. “Nothing’s new. It’s just how you adapt to the new environment and the new circles when you’re throwing it.” Cannon, who also plays nose guard for the Raiders’ football team, has seen his success in track parlay into increased interest from the c o l l e g e
world. He has already attracted the interest of some major BCS schools as a dual sports competitor. Regardless of this year’s outcome, Cannon will still have two years of high school competition ahead and Triemplar believes the sky is the limit for the youngster. “He’ll continue to grow. He’ll continue to get stronger. He’ll improve his technique. He’ll improve his flexibility,” the coach said. “Once he improves his flexibility he’ll develop more torque in the ring and that’s going to give him more distance. He loves the event that’s probably the biggest thing.” Photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local
