HCSB tackles salaries, next budget

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

H

anover County school officials and school board members wrapped up the second of two comprehensive workshop sessions last week in preparation for the upcoming budget process.

The sessions were designed to outline broad budget goals and set realistic parameters for the upcoming process,

and several issues were discussed at the recent workshops.

Class size, benefits and teacher salaries represent some of the topics for this season’s pre-planning, and the board seems unified in its intentions to make this year’s budget planning process comprehensive and inclusive.

Board chairman Robert Hundley said the workshops are part of evolving and ongoing process that will culminate in the superintendent’s presentation of a

budget in January.

“The recent meeting enabled the School Board to begin discussing broad categories that will be included in the budget presented by the Superintendent early next year,” Hundley said. “Although various items such as class size and salary adjustments were mentioned, the School Jim Ridolphi for The Local Board did not develop a formalized list of Hanover School Board chairman Robert priorities at this meeting,” he added.

The Local Pick:

Hanover among 36 fully accredited Va. school systems Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Hanover County Public Schools is among 36 fully accredited school divisions of the commonwealth’s 132 school districts, compared with 87 last year.

The percentage of schools meeting state accreditation standards dropped sharply as a consequence of the introduction of rigorous new reading, writing and science Standards of Learning (SOL) tests during 2012-2013, as well as a second year of results from more challenging mathematics assessments, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) recently announced.

Seventy-seven percent, or 1,413, of Virginia’s 1,828 public schools are rated as Fully Accredited for 2013-2014 compared with 93 percent for 2012-2013.

“Over the last five years, the accreditation bar has been raised through the introduction of more rigorous curriculum standards and challenging new assessments that test students’ problem-solving and critical-thinking skills as well as their content knowledge,” Patricia I. Wright, superintendent of Public Instruction, said. “In addition, the benchmark pass rates required for full accreditation have increased,

and high schools must meet goals for improving graduation rates.”

“The focus of the SOL program has shifted to the ambitious but vital goal of college and career readiness for all students,” Board of Education president David M. Foster said. “Temporary declines in SOL scores and accreditation ratings are signs that the commonwealth is expecting more, not that students are learning less.”

For a school now to earn full accreditation, at least 75 percent of students must pass reading and writing SOL tests, and at least 70 percent must pass state assessments in mathematics, science and history.

High schools also must meet a benchmark for graduation. Previously, the reading and writing benchmark in middle and high schools was 70 percent and the required pass rate in grade 3 science and history was 50 percent.

Accreditation ratings also may reflect credit earned by schools that successfully remediate students who failed reading or mathematics tests during the previous year.

Adjustments also may be made for students with limited-English proficiency and for students who have recently transferred into a Virginia public school.

Accident on 295 results in fatality Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Virginia State Police are investigating a fatal crash involving three vehicles on I295 south on Friday, Sept. 27 that left one man dead and his wife injured.

Shortly before 2:30 p.m., state police responded to the scene at Exit 37, Mechanicsville Turnpike, in Hanover County, after the driver of a 2005 Toyota Camry ran off the left side of the roadway striking a AAA Ford F-350 service truck and a 2009 Toyota Highlander. The

Camry’s impact with the F-350 service truck caused the service truck to strike the driver of the Highlander, who was outside of his vehicle. The driver of the Highlander, who state police have identified as Bobby G. Hadaway, 76, of Leland, N.C., died at the scene. The AAA driver and the female passenger of the Highlander, who has been identified as Carolyn H. Hadaway, 71, were also outside of their vehicles. The AAA driver was not injured, while Carolyn Hadaway suffered minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to

Memorial Regional Hospital.

The driver of the Toyota Camry suffered serious nonlife threatening injuries and was airlifted to VCU Medical Center.

A six-year-old male and a three-year-old female were transported to the hospital for evaluation.

At the time of the crash, the Toyota Highlander was disabled on the left shoulder with a left-rear flat tire and had called for AAA service. Upon arriving on-scene, the AAA driver had stopped and positioned his vehicle directly behind the

Highlander with its emergency equipment activated.

All lanes southbound were temporarily closed to allow med-flight to land. All lanes reopened shortly after 9:30 p.m.

Speed is considered a factor, as the crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the Virginia State Police Accident Reconstruction Team.

Charges are pending against the driver of the Camry as state police consults with the Hanover County Commonwealth Attorney’s Office.

The chairman said the budget process is a key element in the board’s responsibility to oversee the education of almost 18,000 students in Hanover County.

“We can never stop thinking about student achievement.

Being responsible for how all monies are allocated within the division goes hand-in-hand with the ultimate goal of achievement,” Hundley said.

Planning for and allocating the funds to achieve those goals will receive the board’s full attention over the coming months, and some of the key portions of the equation’s timing leave little time for consideration.

The state’s contribution to Hanover schools is an integral element in the upcoming budget, but those figures are not released until December.

“One critical piece is the funding that we will receive from the state. The Governor will release his budget in December, and we must make adjustments accordingly based on his final figures, Hundley said The chairman said the board would rely on projections to begin putting preliminary numbers together at this stage in the process.

“At this point, we project, forecast and follow trends closely

to begin formulating a plan for the year ahead,” Hundley said.

“Many pieces will come together over the next few months that will provide us with a proposal that will ultimately be adopted.”

But the upcoming budget process will involve much more than just student teacher ratios and state allocations, and Hundley said public input is a major consideration as the prebudget planning evolves.

“Another critical piece is our pre-budget public hearing, held each year at the beginning of the budget planning process to solicit feedback from the public

approved list of budget goals for the 2014-15 at the recent workshop.

Hundley said class size is a topic that is on the table, and noted that all of these efforts are geared to achieve one thing — better student achievement.

“Research suggests that class size reduction can have a positive impact on student learning,” Hundley said. “Also, the effects of fewer students per class seem to have the most significant impact when implemented within the earliest grades,” he added.

Make a difference and stop complaining Zero tolerance. We’ve all heard the words, usually in reference to bullying, smoking, drug usage — you know, unacceptable behaviors in schools and on school grounds.

Well, this writer suffered from zero tolerance long before it became a common phrase.

While I agree with school administrators about zero tolerance in regards to those issues listed, I have none when it comes to those who would whine, moan and complain about the topic du jour rather than attempt to bring any viable solutions to the table, as the old saying goes.

As political hoopla abounds on the national, county and state level, there seems to be a marked increase in criticizing and mudslinging — as if that’s going to make our circumstances any better.

Whether you’re an officeholder or candidate, you need to quit your bellyaching and step up with some solutions to the problems that are plaguing our nation, state and county. And don’t make promises you can’t keep.

If I sound cynical and jaded in terms of politics, well, I’ve seen the ugly side too many times. Unfortunately, my career has found me in locales where politics ruled in a corrupt and sickening form. On the plus side, there were more than a few who found themselves “guests” of our U.S. government — as in federal prison.

But, as happens all too frequently, I digress.

It is alarming and disheartening to see the directions some campaigns take. Apparently some candidates will literally do whatever it takes to win public office. Oh, there’s that word: public. How are we impacted? Where do we as members of the public fit in that world?

Well, we have to be a voice. We have to vote. We have to be involved. We have to make a difference.

We find ourselves inundated with phone calls and advertisements all over the various media outlets. With that in mind, we need to research the candidates, their platforms, their plans and their goals.

Take the time to become informed. If that means attending different political events, then do so. All we will continue to ask is that you take an active role in the system. Your participation outweighs your complaints.

Radler gets endorsement with back to business message I am writing to join the other concerned citizens of Hanover County and the 55th District and give my earnest and whole-hearted endorsement to Toni Radler for the House of Delegates.

I have known and worked with Toni for years and having always found her to be intelligent, passionate, honest and independent, and, most importantly, absolutely dedicated to improving the community in which we all live.

She’s been doing it voluntarily here in Hanover County for years and now she wants to make it official in the capital.

We’re lucky to have someone of her caliber ready to serve the 55th!

Toni has pledged to work in the House of Delegates to fully fund our public schools, fix and maintain our roads, make high speed Internet available across our district, and get commuter rail service to Caroline County.

In short, Toni wants to invest in the infrastructure necessary for our future and that of our children.

Toni wants us to get back to the real purpose of government, ensuring equality of opportunity for our citizens.

If you want to know who is supporting Toni, I suggest you go to www.vpap.org and enter her name in the search box. Then look at her donor list. You’ll see that Toni’s campaign is funded almost entirely by the residents of this district. Then do the same for her opponent and see all the businesses and lobbyists, including those from out of state, who are funding his at three times what citizens can give. Then ask yourself: Which candidate will work for our children’s future and our best interests and not be beholden to special interests?

The choice is clear: Toni Radler. Let’s get back to business.

Need for movie theater questioned by resident Why do we need yet another sewer outlet polluting the minds of our kids?

Isn’t the 24 hours a day of murder, mayhem and monkey-see-monkey-do enough already to dumb down our kids, and half the “grown-ups”?

Why do we need a movie theater to peddle more trash ideas and pure stupidity when we already have the Internet and television doing the job quite well?

We are promoting toxic ideas, values and failure for an entire civilization that pretty much has lost its way. When all that matters becomes “me, me, me, me, me me,” it is pretty

much game over.

Our civilization is about to collapse, and nobody cares.

Writer targets teacher lobby on school division funding At the Sept. 10 meeting of the Hanover County School Board a pre-budget public hearing was scheduled for Oct. 8. This pre-budget public hearing is on the 2014-2015 budget. This hearing will be held at the School Board office at 200 Berkley St. in Ashland. The public meeting starts at 7:30 p.m.

We all remember the big outcry over the last school budget. Remember the long lines of students stretching from the podium in the Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting room out into the parking lot?

Students who could not regurgitate the multiplication tables were able to regurgitate three minutes of education (teachers union) lobby propaganda.

Disingenuous teacher union propaganda flowed from the mouths of babes one after the other. The education (teachers union) lobby did not hesitate to use our children as pawns in their political games. The teachers union must stop using our children this way.

The education (teachers union) lobby is the second most powerful lobby in Virginia. Any effort to improve academic standards is met with total blind opposition by the teachers union.

The U.S. ranks 35th in the world in math and science. If Japan, China and all the other countries that are ahead of us can teach math and science, why can’t we?

The education (teachers union) lobby is running our school system and they are doing very well for themselves.

The students are not doing well at all. When half of all students need as much as two years of remedial work at J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College before they see LETTERS, pg. 19

In January 2011, some mothers within the congregation of Rehoboth Baptist Fellowship Church met to discuss the thought of investing in the character and integrity of young girls in the King William community.

Under the leadership of the pastor, Steve Via, after prayer, careful consideration and much planning, and with the congregation’s blessing, it was decided American Heritage Girls offered the very Christ-centered standards that were being sought.

Founded in 1995 in West Chester, Ohio, American Heritage Girls is a “well-thoughtout faith-based Christian� scouting organization for girls.

Through its program, AHG lives up to its mission statement “Building women of integrity through service to God, family, community, and country.�

Members enjoy active participation in troop meetings and other special events.

Some components of these meetings are U.S. flag-honoring ceremonies, patriotic themes, learning skills such as sewing, cooking, knitting, etc., badge earning, sports recognition, outdoor skill building and team building.

Through these special efforts and events they accomplish their goal to build character and integrity in young girls, as well as providing continuous social and spiritual development.

The AHG Oath is: “I promise to love God, Cherish my family, Honor my country, and Serve in my community.�

The AHG Creed is: “As an American Heritage Girl, I promise to be: Compassionate,

ATTENTION HEATING OIL USERS!!

You get your oil furnace serviced every year or two, but you've NEVER had your underground heating oil tank inspected, have you?

Fact: Tanks over 25 years old are probably leaking Fact: Many furnace problems are the result of leaking tanks Do the smart thing and call for a free, no obligation tank inspection.

After all, your tank is nothing more than a buried steel container that will rust, leak, and get into your well or basement. We can access the Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund, which pays for our costs associated with a leaking tank clean-up.

Local family hosts walk to help battle child’s debilitating disorder

T

he Arnette family of Mechanicsville, along with local individuals and families from across the region, will come together on Saturday, Oct. 5, at Pole Green Park 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville to raise awareness and funds for treatment of Neurofibromatosis (NF).

All proceeds from the Mechanicsville NF Walk will support the Children’s Tumor Foundation’s medical research, patient support and public education programs.

Stephanie Arnette organized this NF Walk because her son Cameron was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) five years ago at age 2.

His first MRI showed a large tumor in his neck (Plexiform Neurofibroma) and another in his brain, behind the optic nerves (chiasmatic glioma).

The tumor in his neck is putting pressure on his breathing tube/airway, causing him to snore and have obstructive

can do anything, there is a real problem.

This is an election year.

When I watch the political reporting I see the education (teachers union) lobby out there saying it is for the kids. When we see the kids need two years of remedial work after graduation, wek now it is not for the kids.

With all the remedial work K-12 has become K-14. Here in Hanover County we spend about $162 million a year in K12. Hanover County also pays J. Sargeant Reynolds for remedial

sleep apnea.

The tumor is his neck is lifethreatening.

Cameron started chemotherapy at age 4, which did not help stabilize his tumor.

He started a second kind of chemo at age 6, which also has not proven to be effective, and recently was taken off the drug.

At age 5, the doctors found a third tumor in his spine by MRI. “As parents, we worry about Cameron’s future. We fundraise because it’s the only thing we can do. We cannot sit idly by and hope that they find a cure.

We have to fight hard and now!”

Stephanie said. “Cameron lives day-to-day not knowing what might come next. His health is for the day.”

NF is a progressive disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. It affects millions of people worldwide and is more prevalent than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and Huntington’s disease combined. The disorder can lead to deafness, blindness, bone abnormalities, learning

disabilities and cancer, but NF research is shedding new light on those and other complications as the Foundation searches for effective treatments for Neurofibromatosis.

“Parents of kids living with NF, like the Arnette family, have proven time and again that they will go to the ends of the earth and do anything to find treatments for their child. If their passion alone could fund NF research, this debilitating disorder would have ceased to exist years ago,” Traceann Adams, director of the NF Walk Program at the Children’s Tumor Foundation, said.

“Events like the Mechanicsville NF Walk serve as great opportunities to increase awareness about Neurofibromatosis and raise funds to find treatments for those affected.”

To attend the Mechanicsville NF Walk on Oct. 5, register online at www.nfwalk.org/ mechanicsville2013 or in person the day of the walk between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m.

Messiah Lutheran celebrating 45 years in Mechanicsville

Marks Family Dentistry

The Best Care for Your Family From Our Family !

Messiah Lutheran Church and School began celebrating 45 years of “God’s Work -- Our Hands” in Hanover County and beyond on Sunday, Sept. 8. Along with the baptism of Patricia Deagle during worship, available congregation members participated in special service projects afterward benefiting the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office’s Adopt-A-Senior Program, the Hanover Humane Society, Lutheran Family Services’ foster care program, the MCEF food pantry and MCEF teen clothes closet, as well as working on “curb appeal” in the community. This totaled more than 150 service hours. Pastor Lou Florio said, “It is just one way for us to give thanks to God while also thanking our wonderful neighbors in Mechanicsville and Hanover County.” Additional anniversary events are planned throughout the fall. To learn more, contact Messiah Lutheran Church and School or visit mlcas.org.

Smith named to the Dean’s List “Came in with fear, pain and uncertainty. Was met with cordial, assuring expertise. All was explained and sufficient humor applied so that I left with tooth saved, prescription in hand, and a weight off my shoulders. Surely worth the drive of over an hour and a relationship that has included 5 moves over 25 years and watching two young men grow into the stature of their Dad.” Bremo Bluff, VA

est thanks and gratitude to two gentlemen who stopped to assist me during evening rush hour on Tuesday, Sept. 10, 2013.

I had transferred work documents and personal items from a rental vehicle to my personal car. Then I pulled out onto U.S 360 to head home, only to quickly hear a thump and realize my work folder had been left on top of my car!

I saw work papers strewn along Mechanicsville Turnpike.

I felt I had to try to collect these papers for my meeting notes and any potential confidential information.

These two kind individuals took the time to stop and join me in dashing into traffic. All my paperwork was retrieved.

Furthermore, I gained a bright spot in my otherwise tough day feeling a God moment through these two fine fellows. Thank you!

Reader gives Jackson support I had the honor for the third time to hear E.W. Jackson, candidate for lieutenant governor, speak about his vision for Virginia if elected.

Bishop Jackson is an amazing man, who has had an amazing life journey. His grandparents were slaves, and when he was a youngster he lived in foster care in poverty, failing school and looking at gangs as a family replacement.

His father found him and took custody when he was not quite 10 and made two rules: obey him and do well in school.

His father, with a sixth grade education, worked hard at manual labor and watched his son graduate from Harvard.

Jackson is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and ordained minister and, very importantly, he has never been a politician.

He is a leader with a pas-

sionate love of this country, a man of integrity and honor and lives as an example to others. He has the courage and confidence to speak the truth about everything important.

The liberal press has relentlessly criticized Bishop Jackson.

Jackson stated that the current welfare system is a form of slavery, and was labeled racist.

Welfare benefits were put in place to help people overcome poverty but instead have kept generations of poor people poor and dependent on the government.

I have personally experienced and revisited welfare as a teacher and social worker. I was a divorced, single mother at age 23 and found myself eligible for food stamps, public housing and a child support check, and thought I had hit pay dirt.

I would still be there 40-plus years later if I had chosen to be a slave to government handouts, but I was turning my back on the values my immigrant parents followed.

I used the “system” to go to college, earned scholarships for advanced degrees and had a self-supporting, tax-paying career and my children are college-educated and employed and they and their children will continue to move forward.

I have often thought of what might have been a dead-end life for them.

Most of us are slaves to something. I was a slave to cigarettes for far too long; for others it is gambling, alcohol, food, our cell phones, televisions, overspending, jobs, etc.; and drugs and sex have sadly enslaved too many people.

Bishop Jackson’s desire is to create jobs for Virginians but how do we get people to work that have no desire to work?

Jackson may not be able to move people in one fell swoop to self-supporting status, but he is a gift to Virginia if we accept his family to serve in Richmond. His humility, service to others, patience, good-

ness and his understanding of the problems because he has lived them is a living example for all of us.

His Biblical approach to problem-solving are character traits lacking in other politicians and he offers encouragement and hopefully motivation for all of us to pursue righteousness and get excited and proud of our Virginia leadership.

If we do not vote for Bishop Jackson on Nov. 5, we will have lost an opportunity to have a remarkable statesman in a position to become governor in four years and prayerfully move on from there.

Jackson is a flack man who is proud of his heritage and we are proud of him.

He is not a racist; he is a true patriot and we need him to pave the way to a better future for Virginia.

New deputies welcomed For six months, members of the Class of 2013 in Hanover’s Law Enforcement Academy learned, repeated, recited, and tested their mental, physical and psychological acuity to prepare for graduation. Trainees and actors played out scenarios in role-playing exercises using realistic language, expression, physical contact and training weapons. Dozens of scenarios were introduced and analyzed, some with citizens playing real-life parts in real-life cases.

Early sessions were awkward, but later exercises elicited sharp critical responses and loads of questions.

With a moment of celebration in late June, graduation was done; the job began anew.

These deputies moved swiftly into three months of field training, learning by on-the-job duty with experienced officers.

Police investigating threat at King William High School

BY REED WILLIAMS Richmond Times-Dispatch

Twitter.com/TheKWLocal

Authorities are investigating a message scrawled in a bathroom at King William High School that threatens to “kill everyone.”

The message was brought to the attention of the school’s principal about 10 a.m. Thursday,

said King William County schools Superintendent Mark Jones.

Officials said they are taking the message seriously and will be adding security at county schools today and next week.

The message, written in a boy’s bathroom at the school, says, “I will kill everyone.” Written below the threatening words is Monday’s

date.

Beside the message is a crudely drawn symbol that authorities said they do not recognize.

King William sheriff’s Lt. Tim Hixenbaugh said he has sent a picture of the symbol to law enforcement officials nationwide to see if anyone recognizes it.

Authorities on Thursday were

trying to determine who wrote the message and why. Hixenbaugh and school officials said they were unaware of any other similar incidents at the school.

“This is somewhat out of the ordinary for here,” Jones said.

World School Milk Day (WSMD) is an international, annual event that celebrates the importance of school milk in children’s diets in more than 40 countries, and is a way to focus on helping children make healthy beverage choices.

The first WSMD was cel-

they do, the service they render, and the secure feeling they impart. We are both active and inactive ambassadors, yet we are bound by a kindred spirit that we wish it no other way. In our town, we have high regard for quality of life – a wonderful place to live, to worship, to raise your family, to grow your business – and no tolerance for crime of any size or shape.

We have every right to boast that in our county – policing is part of the community, not apart from the community.

High visibility is welcomed.

Okay, the brisk white marked vehicles we see in passing are fine, but we do pause a moment

when we see the heart-stopping blue lights in the rear view mirror. But what we don’t see – well behind the scenes – are the people who maintain the vigil, who respond in crisis mode at any instance, who further advance that quality of life.

These new deputies are our neighbors, relatives, friends, yes strangers, too, who know that their chosen career puts them racing to the scene, never away from it.

We have every right to be proud and humbled by their choices.

Raiders rebound with homecoming victory

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local After a road defeat at Douglas Freeman High School the previous week, the Atlee Raiders High School Raiders returned for their homecoming festivities Friday night The familiar environment served the Raiders well, as they trampled their guest, Henrico High School, 38-14.

“We just feel like anytime we play someone at home, that’s an extra incentive for us,” said Raiders’ head coach Roscoe Johnson. “We get hype anytime we’re here.”

The Atlee fans play a significant role in making the Raiders’ feel at home. They helped ease the bitterness of the Douglas Freeman loss by loudly proclaiming their support for their throughout the contest with Henrico.

“We got a win, and we’ll take a win anyway that we can,” Johnson said. “We made a lot of mistakes, left a lot of points off the board … but overall I’m happy, because we got a win.”

On the first play from scrimmage Atlee quarterback Reid McCoy completed a bomb down the right sideline to vitalize the Raiders’ offense. McCoy finished the opening drive with a touchdown pass to wideout Daniel Glymph, who scored two touchdowns on the night.

Henrico’s offense couldn’t get any type of rhythm going

early on. Their first three drives ended in three-and-outs.

On the other end of the spectrum, Atlee scored on its first three drives to give them a 17-0 advantage at the end of the first quarter. This put the Warriors in a hole they could not climb out of.

“I felt like we had a good game plan, we just didn’t execute the way we wanted to,”

The Mechanicsville Local

October 2, 2013

said Henrico head coach Gerald Glasco.

Early in the second quarter, the Warriors’ defense held up pretty well against the explosive Raiders offense, forcing Atlee to punt on four straight possessions.

On one sequence, Atlee’s McCoy was picked off in the Raiders’ own territory

by Henrico safety DeShawn

Robinson. However, Henrico running back Xavier Goodall fumbled one play after Warrior quarterback Malik White completed a pass inside Atlee’s 10yard line. Raiders’ linebacker Tye Burris scooped the ball up and ran it back for what initially looked like a touchdown, but the fumble return was called back because of an illegal block.

Every time it looked as if the

Warriors would inch their way back into the game, they made series-killing mistakes.

“Too many mistakes, too many reasons to make excuses on our part,” Glasco said. “We’re a growing, young program … but we’re trying to teach [the players] to do things the right way.”

Henrico (3-1) did manage to score on the drive following its

fumble, as White took a quarterback sneak into the end zone.

That cut the lead down to 17-7, but it didn’t stay that way long.

On Atlee’s next possession, McCoy completed a 53-yard pass to Glymph for his second touchdown. That pushed the Raiders’ lead back up to 24-7.

After Henrico failed to answer, they settled for a punt.

Burris fielded the punt and took it down field 90 yards for a touchdown. Atlee was officially in domination mode.

After another score – on a 2-yard pass from McCoy to Austin Phipps – Atlee (3-1) took a comfortable 38-7 lead into the halftime break.

Springers pluck Hawks with last-minute TD

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch With running back Brooks Coombs on the sideline, his arm in a sling, the Hanover High School Hawks introduced a new freshman running back Friday night. Clayton Cheatham rushed 15 times for 43 yards and two touchdowns, but the Hawks fell one touchdown short and lost 32-26 to Highland Springs High School.

Cheatham, a 6-foot-1, 200pound freshman listed as a wide receiver on the roster, played the first half and made consistent punches into the Highland Springs’ defense.

Balanced with quarterback Korbin Bordonie’s passing attack (14 of 26 for 160 yards) and Bordonie’s rushing (9 rushes, 86 yards), the Hanover offense was able to keep up with the Springers.

But the Hawks (2-2) failed to take advantage of two Highland Springs’ mistakes, and that ultimately cost Hanover the game.

Halfway through the second quarter, Highland Springs quarterback D.J. Johnson threw an interception to Brennan Gary.

Gary returned the ball 50 yards to the 10-yard line.

Three plays later, Bordonie completed a pass to Jalen Elliott, who fumbled the ball as he crossed into the end zone. The Hanover sideline thought he had scored. After a period of discussion, the referees ruled an inadvertent whistle had been blown, negating any fumble.

The ball was placed on the

1-yard line, and it was fourth down. Cheatham carried the ball up the middle, but he was stopped by Highland Springs’ defenders. Hanover had turned the ball over on downs on the 1-yard line.

On their next drive, the Hawks were forced to punt. But the Springers (3-1) muffed the punt and Hanover recovered 40yards away from the end zone.

Again, Hanover failed to put the ball in the end zone and went

into halftime trailing 20-13.

Senior running back Rayvon Birden replaced Cheatham in the second half and was also effective. He carried 17 times for 39 yards and a touchdown.

His 5-yard touchdown run tied the game at 26 in the fourth quarter.

But the Springers, whose first four touchdowns came from lengths of 47, 70, 18 and 30 yards, had one more offensive outburst in them. Alex Wilson

(9 carries, 84 yards) broke free in the middle of the field and scored with 2:02 left.

Wilson had sat out much of the game with a pain in his hip after being hit returning a kickoff in the first half. But he summoned all his strength to get back on the field.

“He’s a fighter all the way around,” Springers’ coach Loren Johnson said. “He works extremely hard.”

Without its best running

great job, they were 3-0 because they have a good football team,” Johnson said. “We don’t look at the records of other teams, we treat everybody the same. ...

We did respect them for what they’ve done.”

Henrico did pretty well considering the lack of depth in its

roster.

“I’ve got to go back to the drawing boards as a head coach and figure out a way to manage [my players] reps a little better,” Glasco said. “I only have 28 players total.”

Atlee was led offensively by McCoy, who completed 13 of

27 passes for 169 yards, three touchdowns and an interception.

Running back Lamont Stubbs had 16 carries for 103 yards and a touchdown. Receiver Daniel Glymph grabbed six catches for 93 yards and two touchdowns.

In addition to his fumble return and scoring punt return,

back to take the ball, Highland Springs had turned to its passing game and found marginal success. On their previous drive, the Springers passed eight times in 13 plays and turned the ball over on downs.

Highland Springs quarterback D.J. Johnson ran for a touchdown and threw for two.

The senior quarterback rushed 14 times for 105 yards and completed 10 of 20 passes for 181 yards and an interception.

When the game was over, he said he was disappointed with his performance.

“I didn’t play like a senior tonight,” he said. “This was a ninth-grade game for me.”

King William hangs on for win over Eagles

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The clock proved King William High School’s friend Friday night.

The Cavaliers, after taking a 19-0 lead in the first half of their game against visiting Washington and Lee High School, struggled to get their offense restarted in the second half as the Eagles swooped back into contention. But time ran out on Washington and Lee’s comeback and King William escaped with a 25-20 win.

Cavaliers’ head coach Dylan DeHart said his team has a lot of work to do.

“A win’s a win, but we’ve got to clean up a lot of play,” DeHart said. “Washington and Lee is a good football team. They had some athletes – some big players – but I honestly think we were our own worst enemy a lot of times.”

Penalties were a big part of King William’s problem against the Eagles.

“Unfortunately, we had at least four facemask calls. Four times 15 – you’ve got over 60 yards right there,” DeHart said.

“That alone gave [the Eagles] a lot of help.”

King William’s offense amassed more than 400 yards total offense, but it had its share of mistakes.

“I thought our offense played well, but it turns into a bad snap or a holding call,” DeHart said. “We start moving down field, and it seemed like we were getting ready to get to the red zone and things stop working. I thought our red zone packages are fine, it’s just the mistakes we made.”

DeHart was very pleased, however, with the kicking of Spencer Keaton, who was called upon to convert field goal attempts of 31 and 28 yards for

King William’s first two scores.

“I’m kind of a risky-type guy – I like to go for it on fourth down,” DeHart said. “I’m glad that I took the points because those six points turned out to be the difference there. I’m very proud that [Keaton] was able to make two good kicks on those.”

King William (3-1) was led offensively by Camajae Peatross, who carried the ball 18 times for 170 yards. He also caught two passes for 37 yards – including one for a 20-yard touchdown. Quarterback Jacob Jones completed 14 of 26 passes for 144 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Jones also carried the ball five times for 42 yards and two interceptions.

Washington and Lee (13) was led by quarterback Treshaun Brown, who complet-

ed 15 of 32 passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns.

Eagles’ head coach Antron Yates said slow starts have plagued his team this season.

“It is a mental thing,” Yates said. “They aren’t coming off the bus ready to play football.

That’s on me as a head coach.

What I’ve got to do is fine tune this operation and get this thing on the road.”

Both teams struggled with a slow start Friday night with neither of them reaching the end zone. King William finally got on board with Keaton’s 31-yard field goal in the second quarter.

He added a 28-yard field goal next, then the Cavaliers’ got their first touchdown on a 20yard pass from Jones to Austin Simons. The 2-point conver-

sion attempt failed.

Jones closed out the firsthalf scoring with a 19-yard run, and Keaton added the pointafter to send the Cavaliers into intermission with a 19-0 lead.

Yates had some words for his team at halftime, and a seemingly different Eagles team came out for the second half.

“They get the message,” Yates said. “Against good football teams, you just can’t come out and make mental mistakes.

We had a touchdown [pass] that we dropped – it was a wide-open touchdown. That’s seven points. You’ll never know how the ebb-and-flow of the game goes if you catch that touchdown.”

But in the third quarter, Brown connected with D.J.

Weldon to put the Eagles on the scoreboard, but their point after attempt failed.

Jones added a touchdown for King William later in the quarter on a 4-yard run, but the Cavaliers’ point-after attempt was blocked. Still, King William looked to have a solid lead, 256, after three quarters.

It did not look so good for long, though. Washington and Lee’s passing game completed its reboot and paid off in a 15-yard touchdown pass from Brown to Alex Lane. Their final score came on Jarret Sumiel’s 8-yard run.

The Cavaliers only stumbled in response, but time ran out before their fortunes could be upended.

“We’ve got to clean up

the penalties,” DeHart said.

“Touchdown – you get a holding call, you bring it back. We get a big play, you get a block in the back and it come back.

And they’re all penalties that are completely unnecessary. …

The kids, they kept playing, but we’ve got to play smarter football.”

Yellow Jacket women dominate Bridgewater

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Yellow Jackets proved stronger than Eagles in RandolphMacon College’s Crenshaw Gymnasium Wednesday night.

Bridgewater College came to Ashland for an Old Dominion Athletic Conference women’s volleyball match, but the Randolph-Macon team, spurred by sophomore Courtney Lowers 13 kills, swept the Eagles 25-15, 25-10, 25-16.

Lowers said teamwork was the key to the Yellow Jacket victory.

“We’re all about teamwork,” Lowers said. “We work together, no matter what, and it was just everything was flowing. It started with a good pass, then we got a good set from Riley Martin, and then we just continued to play like that, you know. If something didn’t go our way, we were back there pulling our team up and going on to the next play.”

Martin finished the night with 29 assists. Lowers appreciates what her teammate can do.

“Riley does a great job of putting the ball where it needs to be,” Lowers said. “She’s a very consistent setter and that helps a lot – especially in a match like this.”

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Randolph-Macon’s Hillary Jessee (99) and Tori Puryear (7) reach to block a shot by Bridgewater’s Carly Casto in the Yellow Jackets’ 3-0 Old Dominion Athletic Conference victory over the Eagles Wednesday night.

Martin said the Yellow Jackets came out with extra motivation given their ODAC opponent.

“I think we just were really

pumped,” Martin said. “We were really excited to play.”

Yellow Jacket head coach always come out to play when we play ODAC teams and Bill Roger said the team has Bridgewater showed us a really been tweaking its play.

“We’re running some new good match. So I just think we

things … in the last couple of practices and I thought they executed them really well,” Roger said. “We’ve been trying to get rid of our errors – our

mistakes – and we did that, and so we had runs and they didn’t. They longest run they had was three points, and that was once.”

Randolph-Macon (10-4, 4-1 ODAC) may have been pumped, but it may not have been obvious. They fell behind 4-1 at the start of the first set – but they quickly found their groove, scoring six straight points to take a 7-4 lead. The Eagles (6-10, 0-5) never again held a lead the rest of the night.

“I think we lacked a little bit of composure tonight,” said Bridgewater head coach Erin Albert. “We got a little flustered and never really came back from it. Randolph-Macon’s a very good team and they played really well tonight. We just couldn’t pull it together.”

The Eagles were led by Carly Casto with seven kills. Casto and Abby Mills had five digs apiece.

Tori Puryear had six blocks for the Yellow Jackets. Marli Dabareiner had nine digs and Katie Rossberg had two aces.

The Yellow Jackets spent the weekend in Atlanta, where the Yellow Jackets went 2-2 in the Emory Invitational. RandolphMacon’s Katie Rossberg, with 28 kills and 28 digs, was named to the all-tournament team.

Eyes on the road: Safety tips for Richmond Sprint Triathlon

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The Richmond Sprint Triathlon comes to Burkwood Swim & Racquet Club Sunday morning, and drivers along the Studley Road corridor need to pay attention.

The triathlon consists of a 400-yard swim at Burkwood, a 12-mile bike ride and a 5K run.

Both the biking and running portions of the race will be on

streets and roads that will not be closed for the event.

To ensure biker and runner safety, race organizers are working with the Virginia Department of Transportation and Hanover County Sheriff’s Department.

“We always work with VDOT to look at, kind of, the key intersections or key parts we need to either to have extra barricades, conage – that kind of thing – lanes shut down and/or

police and/or extra volunteers,” said Sheri Crowell of Richmond Multisports. “It’s definitely looked at by a couple of different people to give us recommendations on how to make it as safe as possible.”

Crowell also said the participants have a role to play in keeping themselves safe. She advises them to come to come to participant meetings to learn the course and what to look out for along the course.

“It’s the rider’s responsibility to know the course and know where they need to be especially careful,” Crowell said.

The bike course is a loop up Studley Road from Burkwood to a northern terminus in the Salem Church area, where bikers will take a secondary loop along Summer Hill Road, Santa Maria Drive and Williamsville Road before returning to Burkwood.

The run course goes through the neighborhood adjoin-

ing Burkwood along Fenway, Chartwood, Wrenwood and Strawhorn drives.

There is still time to sign up as either a participant or as a volunteer for the event.

Those interested in registering or volunteering for the race can sign up at www.richmondmultisports.com. Those interested in fundraising for their group should contact Crowell at sheri@richmondmultisports. com.

SAFETY TIPS • For Drivers: —leave earlier —drive slower —use detours —assume participants are faster than you think —drive predictably —give extra space • For Participants: —be aware —be cautious in the open road —listen to other participants
