DEBORAH WATERS
ince Deborah Waters became an assistant principal at the Battlefield Park Annex in 1982, she has reviewed students’ report cards and written personalized comments at every school where she has served. One day, Waters, who is principal at Kersey Creek Elementary
School, received a note from a student thanking her for that. In the card, the student remarked, “You were born to be a principal.” Waters has spent all but five of her years as a full-time educator as either a vice principal or a principal — more than 30 years in all. That’s a long time to be “on call,” she noted in a written statement released to Kersey Creek

parents and teachers on Feb. 12 announcing her retirement at the end of this school year. Along with administration, coordination and other official duties, Waters has spent her career bonding with students, celebrating victories, dressing up in costumes and having fun. Students seem to particularly appreciate small, personal gestures, like Waters’ habit of sitting down to eat her lunch with students. “It’s the little things that make a difference,” Waters said. “As those things combine, that’s what makes up the culture of a school.” Although her career has been made up of many, many special moments, when asked what has been the highlight, Waters doesn’t hesitate to say it was the opening of Kersey Creek Elementary in 2005. Being the founding principal of a school is a special honor few administrators get, and Waters said she absolutely loved it. The school opened on time, she said, despite the typical nuisances of any building process: furniture arriving late, construction delays that kept teachers and administrators out of the school until just a few days before its opening and

other logistical concerns. She also was faced with a much bigger challenge: weaving students and teachers from established schools like Pearson’s Corner, Henry Clay and Gandy elementary schools into a brand new school community formed by redistricting. “When you’ve been in a very positive school setting, there’s always angst involved in making a change like that,” Waters said. “We had to bring students, staff and parents together to start on our journey.” Waters’ pride in the school community that has developed in the intervening years is evident when she discusses not only student achievement, but also her school’s environmentally-friendly practices and lessons. The school was built using environmentally-friendly building practices, she said, so it only made sense to carry that spirit forward. Students at Kersey Creek enjoy natural lighting, high ceilings and wide hallways, Waters said. And, on nice days, they might head outside for a class in the school’s courtyard, which features a pond and benches. The school and ParentTeacher Association also established a garden at the school equipped with 40 planting beds built by local Cub Scouts,
"Over 30 Years Experience" Phoenix Technical Group, Inc. John 3:16
where students have grown everything from sunflowers and cotton to tomatoes and potatoes. Waters taught for five years in Henrico County before taking time off to have her first child and pursue a graduate degree. During her time there, she said principal David Moore at Chamberlayne Elementary School encouraged her to pursue leadership positions. “For whatever reason, he saw within me the qualities to be a school leader,” Waters said. “He groomed me and put me in the right direction, and I realized I enjoyed it.” Once Waters had secured her master’s degree, she was hired by Hanover County in 1982. She hasn’t left since. Over the years, she has served as assistant principal at the Battlefield Park Annex, Battlefield Park Elementary School and Cold Harbor Elementary School, where she ultimately became principal before heading to Kersey Creek in 2005 — the same year she earned her doctoral degree from the University of Virginia. Waters, a self-described “country girl from Luray” who also enjoys some facets of city living, said Hanover County is an ideal location for her. “It feels wonderful to me to live in a subdivision with cows in the yard and deer that
eat my apple trees, but close enough to be downtown going to a Theatre IV presentation in 20 minutes,” Waters said. Similarly, Hanover’s school division is large, robust and growing, but still feels like a small community, she said. Superintendents and other division-wide administrative staff have been accessible for decades, she said, despite major expansion in the schools. “If I was having a problem and I needed an ear, they would be ready to listen,” Waters said. “That gives the building leaders a level of comfort — we don’t feel like they are too far away from us.” Although Waters plans to spend some time after her retirement gardening and working out at the Rutland YMCA, she said she doesn’t plan to leave Hanover schools completely. The division has a postretirement option that allows employees to work 25 days a year. She said she hopes to pursue opportunities to mentor young principals and watch schools when both the principal and the vice principal are called away on other business. She’ll also do whatever is needed to help her successor take the reins of the school she helped open. see PRINCIPAL, pg. 7

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
An image that will never be forgotten
As a member of the Editorial Board at one of the daily newspapers in West Virginia, the sight is one that will never be forgotten and cannot be erased from memory. There was a sequence of numbers near her wrist. It was in the early 1990s when this writer first encountered a survivor of the Holocaust. While I had been told about her past, the reality of what this small — yet strong — woman had endured was like a punch in the gut. Not wanting to appear rude by staring in stunned silence, I quickly turned and looked away. She was addressing the group, which included community leaders, and didn’t notice that moment when time stood still. Last Wednesday, while proofing and editing one of other publications, an article jumped off the page. Some eighth grade students at a Chesterfield County school had participated in what was described as “an in-depth study of ‘Night’ by Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel.” They then visited the Virginia Holocaust Museum. The memory of that woman I was seated by all those years ago came flooding back. Seeing those numbers remains a haunting image. As for the students from Chesterfield County, they learned a lesson we all can embrace: How they can work to prevent another Holocaust by speaking out against hate and discrimination. The teens said they returned to school with a new appreciation for their freedom and the acceptance of others. Emotions stirred at the notion of young people in our region deciding to move forward in their lives with such open attitudes. One student was quoted as saying that she had learned “that instead of pushing away bad times of the past, it is better to remember and learn from our mistakes. I also learned that hatred is all around us in the world, even today, and it is our job as children to spread love, and not hate.” That was quite an experience for those young people and what an impact after seeing the horror of one of the worst times in history. Based on the hatred we are so often exposed to, it is heartening to know that a younger generation is pursuing one of love and tolerance. Melody Kinser

‘Wheeeere’s Johnny?’ is the question By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
Jimmy Fallon or Jay Leno? How about neither. The Tonight Show ended for me in 1992 when Bette Midler sung “One for My Baby and One More for the Road” to Johnny Carson on his final appearance of a cultural phenomenon. It was the end of an era in broadcast, the closing of a chapter when celebrity was at its highest point. No doubt Carson took his own longstanding advice and went out while he was on top. We often hear that some people are irreplaceable, but most times that proves to be untrue. No matter how important we or anyone else considers their own unique excellence, there’s usually someone waiting in the wings to prove us wrong. But, Carson was unique, and
searching through the Fallons, Kimmels, Halls, Lettermans, Conans and Fergusons makes me miss the King of Late Night even more. None recaptured the excitement that might have been more of a product of its time than its appeal as an entertainment-changing event. To a generation of us, Johnny Carson meant sneaking in to your parents’ bedroom to a flickering black and white television set and hearing the sometimes softly off -core jokes by the subtle Nebraskan. His facial expressions sold many a bad joke, and Carson had a natural comfort on stage that made you feel you were part of something special. We forgave Johnny’s personal shortcomings, the four marriages, the reports of alcohol use in excess and other episodes. We didn’t expect perfection in his
personal life, and maybe we didn’t even want that from a familiar class clown we all knew at some point in our life. And, even if a gathering around the Midnight Matinee with Art Fern wasn’t the most wholesome image of family entertainment, the jokes hit us all equally, evoking belly laughs. It was an era where celebrities weren’t shy about their status, and we didn’t begrudge them for their success. Carson parked his white Corvette in Parking Spot #1 at NBC for years. He sailed on his yacht on days off, and played drums for relaxation. But those who knew him say he had only one real love in life, The Tonight Show. And, in my opinion, he took the show with him when he left. I rarely watched Jay Leno and will probably watch Fallon even less. That’s see JOHNNY, pg. 8

Conference makes resident very proud The Hanover County Public Schools system shined! I was fortunate to attend the 2014 Energy and Sustainability Conference sponsored by VCU on Feb. 12. In the session titled STEM — The Built Environment and Curriculum Development, the session demonstrated the tools and strategies to develop a curriculum that engages students on the environment surrounding their school. In this session, the panel of presenters consisted of the vice president and director of Environmental Planning and Research of LEED, a sustainability officer from Virginia Beach City Schools, the director of the Bryan Innovation Lab from The Steward School, and their general contractor of the site. Lastly, but certainly not least, was Wendy Just, a fourth grade teacher from Kersey Creek Elementary School. Even though Just was the last to present, she was by far and large the most informative of how to aid schools and public sites when considering sustainability aspects to their buildings. Just informed the participants of how Kersey Creek is a Silver level LEED site. The planning and provisions that were afforded to this elementary school allowed it to be
showcased amongst other exceptional and worthy sites. Just was gracious, professional and knowledgeable when explaining how her school has advanced their curriculum because of the building that surrounds them. I am grateful to our fine educators such as Wendy Just and to the Hanover County School Board — you made this “Hanover-ian” very proud! Donna Kouri Rockville see LETTERS, pg. 8

beries continues to be much lower than our regional counterparts,” the sheriff said. Hines said the additional positions outlined in Harris’ proposed budget are badly needed due to increased demand on service and a 5.5 percent increase in overall crime last year. Drug offenses account for 16 percent of total crime in Hanover County. “We also work hard to educate our community on the danger of drugs such as the D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program,” Hines said. The sheriff said there also is an increase in heroin use in the county. He also said that all of these law enforcement activities require resources and place demands on a system that is
already stretched thin. “Traffic impacts every one of us. Traffic enforcement is a daily activity,” he added. Hines said the department’s duties don’t end with law enforcement. Funeral escorts, senior visits and school lunch visits are just a few of their additional responsibilities. “Our people work very hard. All of our people deserve awards for the jobs they do every day,” Hines said. “We’re optimistic about continuing to provide these services.” No new positions have been created in the department in five years. Six new deputies are slated for 2015. Hines also addressed starting salaries. In the last six years, “We’ve followed further behind in the Richmond area when it comes to starting salaries.

D.C. watching the mansion Former Gov. Bob McDonnell’s departing apology for “Giftgate” and the other scandals during his term seemed quite sincere, restoring my faith to some degree. It failed, however, to restore any of probably $1 million in legal defense bills with which Virginia taxpayers have been saddled. It remains to be seen if McDonnell will be found guilty of anything other than poor judgment. There is a huge, beautiful statue of George Washington in Richmond’s Capitol Square.
He is mounted high on a horse as in battle, looking to one side, with one giant arm pointing South. During my years in the 1980s as a legislative analyst for the Virginia General Assembly, there was a joke we staffers were fond of telling, because in those days the State Penitentiary was still located just across town, exactly where George’s hand pointed. It was said that Washington’s eyes were on the General Assembly Building, and that he was pointing to where a lot of the members belonged. It occurs to me now that George also could have been looking at another part of Capitol Square: the Governor’s Mansion. John Long Mechanicsville

Nowhere in Chris Pace’s letter [to the editor in the Feb. 19, 2014, edition of The Mechanicsville Local] does he state he read the 2014-2015 Budget language before he makes the assertions he did. Had he read the budget he might have felt less inclined to sling arrows at the Mechanicsville Tea Party and/or our sign message on Medicaid Expansion. Pace also might bone up a bit on the First Amendment and political free speech before he starts mentioning libel. As to Chris Peace’s “scant salary,” Pace might consider the thousands of hours our volunteers have contributed over the last four years with no pay whatsoever.
If anyone attempts to question elected officials spending priorities, it is always without exception labelled as “bashing.” Why is that? Perhaps Pace might like a copy of the “Staffing Surge Report” on the 20-year period where public school spending went through the roof, leading all other categories of federal spending by far. He states twice that the Tea Party signs lack facts. Perhaps he might like some of the data we used from the Heritage Foundation that documents how reckless public schools have been with spending the funds they have been given. It just fits his agenda to attempt to paint us, or anyone who questions expenditures as “not wanting good schools,” which is ridiculous on its face.

Cold Harbor: ‘The Golgotha of American history’
Photo courtesy of Michael Reardon
Michael Reardon is shown next to a newly erected historic marker, which is located on Crown Hill Road, not far from the Cold Harbor crossroads. He said the marker recently was erected in commemoration of the 150th anniversary.
(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Michael T. “Mickey” Reardon.) In the month of June 1864, General [Ulysses S.] Grant’s army came on the premises (at Old Cold Harbor) and swept it clean of everything in the way of supplies for man or beast.” So spoke my great-great aunt, an eyewitness. During the first 12 days of June, we commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Cold Harbor (May 31-June 12, 1864), the main assault of which took place at early dawn on June 3, 1864, a contest in which 7,000 Union soldiers were mortally wounded
in some 20 minutes of fighting on a site later referred to by a Union general who fought there as “the Golgotha of American history.” The sound of that assault was described by inhabitants of Richmond 12 miles away as that of a “volcanic eruption.” All told, the number of Americans killed and wounded at Cold Harbor was, by conservative estimates, some 13,000, with the vast majority Union. It is believed that estimates of casualties were deceivingly kept lower than the reality by the [President Abraham] Lincoln Administration due to the then upcoming presidential election.
Grant reportedly told his staff on the evening of June 3, ”I regret this assault more than any one I have ever ordered. … No advantage has have been gained sufficient to justify the heavy losses suffered,” sentiments that he would later express in his memoirs. Battle commenced from Cold Harbor property The battle received its name from the property at Old Cold Harbor, which at the see COLD HARBOR, pg. 23

The goal is to heighten crime prevention awareness, build support and participation in local anti-crime programs and, most importantly, send a message that neighborhoods are organized and fighting back. To learn more about National Night Out, visit http://www.natw.org/.
Mental health calls continue to increase, placing an additional strain on resources. Hines said additional professional training is required to meet those needs. “An average mental health call takes upward of 18 man-hour hours,� Hines said. Response times have increased due to the number of requests. Budget restraints for the
past few years are making meeting increasing demands on the Sheriff ’s Office, and Hines said this proposed budget is the first step in restoring badly needed positions in his department.

Habitat celebrating 10 years of hosting Collegiate Challenge Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
Not all college students spend their spring break on the beach in Florida. For 10 years, Hanover Habitat for Humanity has offered alternative spring break trips for philanthropic-minded college students. The Collegiate Challenge program is a national program administered by Habitat for Humanity International. Begun in 1989, it has grown into one of the largest year-round alternative break programs in the United States and Canada. During the first three weeks of March, Hanover Habitat for Humanity is welcoming 34 students from three colleges, who will volunteer about 35 hours each, to help build affordable housing in Hanover County. This year’s student volunteers attend Boston College (Massachusetts), Duke University (North Carolina) and Sarah Lawrence College (New York).
Hanover Habitat for Humanity has partnered with the Mechanicsville United Methodist Church to host the young people in the community. In return for their service, the church offers each group of students a safe place to sleep, shower and prepare meals at no additional cost. The church’s congregation also invites the students to attend their weekly Wednesday night community dinner. This year, the Collegiate Challenge students will work on Hanover Habitat for Humanity’s first neighborhood project: a nine-home development called Bailey Woods, in Ashland. With several homes in construction, the students will work on projects as varied as framing walls, installing siding and painting walls. The popularity of Collegiate Challenge program can be attributed to a simple fact: “Collegiate Challenge provides the students with an opportunity to help build
affordable housing in our area and really make an impact,” Garrett Augustine, Hanover Habitat’s construction supervisor, said. “Because they’re here for a week working every day, the students really get a sense of the job site and a lot gets accomplished. The work they’ll be doing during their spring break will have a lasting impact in our community.” About Hanover Habitat for Humanity Hanover Habitat for Humanity is an interfaith nonprofit Christian organization, committed in partnership with qualified families and community volunteers to create and sell homes with no-profit mortgages. Through responsible and affordable homeownership, its Partner Families can break the cycle of poverty and build brighter futures. In addition, working together to consee HABITAT, pg. 26

George Burnett and three of his first cousins, John, James and William Burnett, were all members of Company B, 24th Virginia Cavalry. Company B was the prime unit that hunted down and killed Union Col. Ulric Dahlgren within hours after Dahlgren’s unsuccessful raid on Richmond in March 1864. According to the book 24th Virginia Cavalry, by Darryl Holland, “This company was famous for being instrumen-
of the Cold Harbor property, was a direct descendent of John Burnett, a wealthy Scottish merchant who in 1638 received a Charter from Charles I, the King of England, Scotland, that declared “John Burnett of Aberdeen the sole merchant of our Kingdom of Scotland that hath supplied the plantations of Virginia and become our tenant there…” John Burnett, in turn, was a direct descendent of Alexander Burnett, born in 1275, an early 14th century ally of King Robert the Bruce of Scotland in his war against the English and who was handsomely rewarded, along with his descendents, with noble title and land. The ancestral home of the Burnetts is Crathes Castle in Aberdeen, Scotland, a structure that took 40 years to build.
In the words of Martha Burnett McGhee, Isaac’s 21year-old daughter at the time of the Battle: “In the month of June 1864, Gen. Grant’s army

during the incident.” Papers found on Dahlgren’s body, with their contents widely published in newspapers, showed that the purpose of the raid was the killing of Jefferson Davis and his Cabinet, and that revelation is believed by historians to have set in motion events that led to the assassination of Lincoln a year later. Thus that action of Company B might have altered history significantly. These three cousins of George lived less than two miles from Cold Harbor in a house that still stands in what is today the Pine Knoll subdivision, on 609 acres owned by their father, Richard Burnett, a Methodist minister. (James and John are today buried on the property.) Among this unit’s many engagements with the enemy was that at Cold Harbor, where 16-year-old John snuck through enemy lines at night to visit his family, returning to his unit before daylight. The unit also was present when the great Jeb Stuart fell at Yellow Tavern. (Also serving with Company B were George’s future brothers-in-law, my

She hid the bowl in a haystack. It remains in the family.
Property owned by Burnett family When the [Civil] War commenced in 1861, the property, recorded simply as “The Cold Harbor Property” at Hanover Courthouse, was owned by my great-great-grandfather, Isaac Burnett, 58, and his wife, the former Sarah Hughes, 51, who resided there with their 13 children, nine daughters and four sons, one of whom, George, my great-grandfather, served the Confederacy for two and a half years, was wounded, finally surrendering with the 24th Virginia Cavalry and Lee at Appomattox.

existed against the South in the post-war years. Tribute from a former enemy There was no greater soldier fighting for the North than Medal of Honor recipient Joshua Chamberlain. As general in charge of the surrender at Appomattox, he ordered a salute of arms to the surrendering Confederate army. Years later, looking back to Appomattox, Chamberlain described the Confederate soldier as “the embodiment of manhood: men whom neither toils and suffering, nor the fact of death, nor disaster, nor hopelessness could bend from their resolve, standing before us now, thin, worn, and famished, but erect, and with eyes looking level into ours, memories that bound us together as no other bond.” If a former enemy felt bound in spirit with the Confederate soldier due to the heroic virtue the latter displayed, should we who have the blood of Confederate soldiers running through our veins and who walk the same grounds that they walked not display a measure of that same virtue in defense of the heritage they so gallantly fought and died for?

Brett Burdick, acting state coordinator for emergency management, said. “April 2011 was particularly dangerous when 10 people died and more than 100 were injured. Tornadoes are common in Virginia. In fact, three struck Southeast Virginia Jan. 11, so it is essential that everyone knows what to do when a tornado warning is issued.” The annual drill is a joint effort of the National Weather Service and the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. To start the drill, at approximately 9:45 a.m., a test tornado warning will be sent by the NWS to NOAA Weather Radios. These radios will sound a tone alert and show a message (or flash to indicate a message) to simulate what people will hear or see during an actual tornado warning.

Atlee girls 1st, L-D boys 3rd in state track By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times-Dispatch
HAMPTON – Highland Springs won its first boys indoor track and field state championship Saturday in the Group 5A competition at Boo Williams Sportsplex. Mills Godwin finished second and Lee-Davis third to make it an all-Richmond-area podium in the boys’ results. In the girls’ events, Atlee won the team championship and Godwin came in second. “Our school has been around for 106 years, and there have been some phenomenal athletes come through Highland Springs,” said Springers coach Matt Gifford. “So the fact that this is the first time this has ever happened, it shows you what kind of team we’ve built. I couldn’t be more proud of the guys.” With the field events in 5A held on Thursday and Friday, it was all about the runners and sprinters Saturday. And after the first three running events, the Springers had added 28 points to what they had compiled over the first two days. Marcus Taylor was a double winner, taking the 55-meter dash with a time of 6.31 seconds and the 300 in 34.64. Felton Davis finished second in the 55 hurdles with a time of 7.62 seconds, and the 800 relay team ran a season-best 1:30.73 to win

the state championship. “The things that we needed to do well, we exceeded expectations,” Gifford said. “We rely on a small core group to do a whole lot for us, and they don’t disappoint.” Tyquan Rowley and Taylor make up part of that core group. After Rowley’s performances on Thursday, Taylor joined in Friday. He bested Rowley in
the long jump and finished second in the only event Highland Springs’ boys fielded athletes. On Saturday, Taylor won two events and Rowley added more points with a sixth-place finish in the 500 (1:07.61). “I was just trying to help the team to win state,” Taylor said.

Devin Barnes was victorious in the 500 with a time of 1:05.71 and Lee-Davis’ Lee Warren won the 55 hurdles in 7.39. For Atlee’s girls, winning a state championship as a unit was the goal. The Raiders didn’t have any individual or relay state champions, but they had all-state performances in 12 of the 15 scheduled events to give them the points they needed.
“It was a total team effort,” said Chloe Bavin, who finished third in the 1,600. “We were really happy to win this as a team. A state championship is hard to get, so we knew it wasn’t going to be easy.” “All weekend, they felt a pressure,” Atlee coach Jim Treimplar said. “But it was a good pressure. It wasn’t a pressure that was hard to handle, but rather them feeling the pressure to
contribute toward a state title.” Douglas Freeman junior MacKenzie Kerr battled back from a hamstring injury leading up to the meet and won her second consecutive state title in the 500 with a time of 1:15.29. Kerr won the Group AAA crown in 2013 after beating Felicia Majors of South County by 0.12 seconds. “It means everything,” she said. “It was tough, but I had a great support system when I got my injury. They kept me motivated and kept me in it. I’m really thankful for that.” Manchester’s Elizabeth Hutton captured the 1,600 with a time of 5:13.81 and L.C. Bird’s Nichelle Scott won the 1,000 in 3:00.58. Patrick Henry’s Tiffany Harris won a state title in the 300 in 40.09 and Mills Godwin’s Katharine Benfer was victorious in the 3,200 in 11:07.38. Douglas Freeman won the 1,600 relay in 4:02.36.

Hanover girls f nish in top 10 in 4A state track By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com
LYNCHBURG – As if having the first Virginia High School League Group 4A state indoor track and field championships weren’t enough excitement, the inaugural meet under the new championship format ended with a heightened dose of drama. The real kind, not the reality TV kind. Entering the final event of the Group 4A meet, which was held along with the Group 3A meet at Liberty University Friday and Saturday, Glen Allen’s boys’ 1,600-meter relay team needed only a solid finish not far behind its closest competitors to claim third place in the Group 4A boys’ meet standings. The Jaguars began the final leg of the boys’ 1,600 just trailing I.C. Norcom, but there was contact on the back stretch. Glen Allen appeared to win the race, but the relay team was disqualified for interference. Norcom chose to run the race again to improve its time -something allowed under the rules – and ended up claiming the third-place finish behind champion E.C. Glass and runner-up Midlothian. The Jaguars, with another disqualification in the boys’ 300-meter dash, settled for fifth place with 36 points, just five points behind Norcom and two behind fourth-place Phoebus. Hanover’s girls finished ninth and the Hawks’ boys finished 25th in the meet. Hanover assistant coach Donna Haynesworth was pleased with the Hawks’ finish. “Our expectations coming into this meet was getting the kids to focus on getting their personal best times and distances,” Haynesworth said. “We had a few. Overall, I was extremely proud of them. … This was

the first year in the history of Hanover High that we’ve gotten any kind of track title. We won the conference. We were runner-up in the regional meet. And then to have this many qualifiers make it to state – this has never happened to Hanover High School.”

Despite the disappointing turns of events, Glen Allen coach Tom Nadeau was pleased with the Jaguars’ progress in the brief time since the school was opened. “For us, four years into a varsity program -- starting it from freshmen and sopho-
mores only -- we’ve come a long way,” Nadeau said. “I’m excited to see what these kids have done. They’ve (done) great things. They walk away with ... four state titles, about a dozen all-state athletes.” The Jaguars were led by Stanley Davis with first-place finishes in the 1,000 and 1,600. Zach Witt finished third in the boys’ 3,200 and seventh in the boys’ 1,600. Midlothian coach Stan Morgan was very pleased with the Trojans’ second-place finish, especially considering the small boys’ contingent they brought to the state meet. “I’m very proud of those
guys,” Morgan said. “Will Kendall won the high jump. John Gerard won the 300. And then, yesterday, Michael Warren was fourth in the shot. ... Collin Hahn, Randy Hahn - just an outstanding performance by those guys. They all stepped up.” Gerard also finished seventh in the 55 dash. Randy Hahn was second in the 1,000, fourth in the 3,200 and fifth in the 1,600. Collin Hahn finished second in the 1,600. Glen Allen finished fifth in the 4A girls meet as well. The Jaguars’ girls’ were led by Sade Hargrove, who won the long jump and finished fifth
in the 300 dash and eighth in the 55 dash. Katie Sperry finished third in the girls 3,200 and fourth in the 1,600. Hanover’sLeilaHaynesworth finished fourth in the triple jump, sixth in the long jump and eighth in the high jump. Even though she finished highest in the triple jump, the 10th grader was not happy with her effort. “I came in ranked No. 1, and, like, I really wanted to win as a sophomore. I thought that’d be a huge accomplishment,” she said. “But then I didn’t jump as far as I normally do, and would up getting fourth instead of first.” Leila Haynesworth said an earlier injury affected her performance. “I hurt my hip in a previous jump, so I was really nervous because I didn’t want to hurt it even worse,” she said. “Nothing felt right. … The farthest I could go was not my best today.” Leila Haynesworth’s teammate, Taylor McCormick was third in the triple jump and fourth in the high jump. Annie Sadler finished fourth in the 3,200 run and fifth in the 1,000. Casey Cook, with a fourthplace finish in the boy’s 500meter run, earned all of the Hawks’ boys’ team’s five points. “I was going for first, obviously, but I’m happy with [fifth],” Cook said. “I ran pretty well, I think.” BOYS Team scores: E.C.

Springers oust Raiders from 5A South tourney By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch
Bri Justice scored 16 points, NaJai Pollard added 14 and Highland Springs forced 30 turnovers as the Springers swamped Atlee 89-33 in the 5A South region semifinals Friday at Hermitage The Springers (23-1) picked up a berth in the Group 5A state tournament and will travel to Churchland High School on Monday for the region championship. There, they’ll face Princess Anne (Virginia Beach), which defeated Maury 49-37 in the other semifinal. Freshman Cam Gatling and senior E’Shay Winfield each scored 10 for the Springers. Atlee (16-7) was led by Ashley Weaver’s 14 points and Cierra Shelton’s 10. Princess Anne is the same team that knocked the Springers out of the state semifinals two years ago. Princess Anne played in the Group AAA state title game each of the past five years, winning twice. The Springers have reached the state tournament for the third year in a row and the third time in school history. “We’re determined to go to states and get that ring,” Pollard said. The Springers got a scare a month ago when Pollard went down with a knee injury. Pollard, the team’s leading scorer and top post player, charged downcourt and bumped her leg into a player wearing a metal knee brace. But the injury was found to be just a strain and a bruise. She missed two weeks and wore a brace for the next three games. “I’m back to 100 percent,” she said. “I’m even better.” obstacles in the house, and Then her father put cones in the She often rehabbed in her Pollard would run around back yard, and she would zigown home.

her knee. She was determined the injury wouldn’t keep her out long. “I want to go hard every single game,” Pollard said. “That’s what I do.” On Friday night, the Springers saw Atlee’s manto-man defense and decided their best plan of attack was to score with layups instead of jump shots. Nearly all of the Springers’ field goals came from close proximity to the basket. “We wanted to change it up tonight,” Springers coach Franklin Harris said.
Harris called Atlee the most improved team in the area. The Raiders went 11-12 last year, but won the runner-up spot in Conference 11 this year and handed Prince George its first loss of the season in the region quarterfinals. First-year head coach Michael Rawlings made a number of changes when he took over the job. And the team was receptive to him. “They started to believe, they started to perform and they started to understand their roles,” Rawlings said. “That’s what made it click.”
Ashley Weaver stepped to the line with 6 seconds remaining in the Group 5A South quarterfinal against Prince George with her Atlee Raiders up by one point. She sank one of her two free throws. “I was just trying not to miss it,” she said. “Obviously, I didn’t do that good.” Weaver, who led the Raiders (16-6) with 19 points, did well enough. Ariel Stephenson drove down the floor and missed a 3-point shot as time expired to leave Atlee with a 54-52 win at L.C. Bird on Tuesday night. “There’s a little euphoria,” Raiders coach Michael Rawlings said. “The girls have been so well. We played just well enough. I felt like we could win this game.” The loss was Prince George’s first of the season. Atlee came out in the first quarter on a 7-0 run and put Prince George back on its heels for the entire first half. After the Royals stopped that flood with a 3-pointer, Jamari Blackwell went for a layup and was fouled, but missed the free-

Area teams make exit in regional baskeball playoffs By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com
King William High School and Patrick Henry High School sent both their boys’ and girls basketball teams into Virginia High School League regional tournament play last week. Hanover High School’s boys’ team also advanced to its regional tournament. Unfortunately for their fans, none of their teams survived long enough to clinch a state tournament berth. Region 2A East girls AMELIA — King William High School’s girls’ basketball team had a chance at a win in the first round of the Virginia High School League Region 2A East tournament at Amelia High School on Tuesday, Feb. 25. But one Raider in particular was determined to thwart the Cavaliers’ hopes. Takia Williams caught fire in the third quarter and finished with a triple-double - 28 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists - in leading Amelia to a 59-47 victory. King William trailed by just a point 30-29 at halftime before Williams took control. “My coach pulled me aside at halftime and said I need to take control,” Williams said. “Usually I’m the team leader anyway and I knew that once I came out from halftime I really needed to step up and do my job.” Williams was unstoppable on offense, and tough on the other side of the court as well. The Raiders picked up the pace overall - leaving King William, despite Brianna Branch’s 20 points and Brittney Branch’s 18, struggling to keep up. King William head coach Kerry Johnson said it wasn’t all Williams. “Our defense fell apart,” said King William coach Kerry

Johnson. “She played a good game, no doubt about it. She played a heck of a game, but when we can’t slide our feet and stay in front of her, she’s hard to defend.” Despite the early exit from the region tournament, Johnson is happy with the Cavaliers’ season. “We did a great job this year. I mean, I’m ecstatic,” Johnson said. “Sure, there are some things we could have done better in different games, but all-in-all we had a really great season.”
Region 2A East boys LAWRENCEVILLE — King William High School had a tough draw in the opening round of the Virginia High School League Region 2A East boys’ basketball tournament. The Cavaliers faced the dubious pleasure of facing Brunswick High School, which has won three straight Group AA state championships. The Bulldogs’ gym more than those three blue-and-white banners on the walls—there was hardly a patch of suitable space that was not already covered with something proclaiming one championship or another. Try as they might, the Cavaliers could not overcome Brunswick’s legacy, nor its bench full of top-notch players as they fell ended their season with a 63-22 to their hosts. “If it’s not the best, it’s one of the best teams in the state,” said King William coach Joe Harper. “I’m proud of my kids.” The Cavaliers were handcuffed by an aggressive defense brought to the school by its former coach, NBA player and former University of Virginia legend Bryant Stith. “Our defense really shakes up everybody that we play,” said Brunswick player Quantrel Hardy. “We got steals and fast

Harper thought the experience will be a positive one for his team. “To see all these banners. To see the atmosphere. To see how they finish,” Harper said. “This is the best thing that could have happened to us.” Region 4A South boys Joey Miller scored 21 points Evan Sperling had a doubledouble with 18 points and 12 rebounds and Cle-von Green added another 18 points to lead the Grafton Clippers (22-3) past Hanover 76-68 win over Hanover in a Region 4A South

throw attempt. Weaver got the rebound and put it in for a quick four-point swing, which exemplified the entire game for the Raiders. Atlee was effective on the glass, especially on offense and turned those opportunities into easy points. “I think rebounding was the key for us,” Rawlings said. “I told the girls coming into the game, rebounding and defense
would be it, especially with Stephenson.” The Raiders led at halftime by 14 points, but Prince George (22-1) came back in the second half, keyed by Stephenson’s free throws. She was 13 for 16 at the line and led all scorers with 23 points. Alyse Armentrout had 13 points for the Raiders, and Cierra Shelton had 11. Atlee saw its lead disappear after Stephenson made two baskets to tie the game at 51 with 1:46 remaining.
“Truth be told, nerves may have gotten to us,” Rawlings said. “To my seniors, really. But, they’ll come back.” After Weaver and Jamari Blackwell made one free throw apiece to give Atlee a 53-51 lead with 37 seconds left, both teams turned over the ball before Atlee’s Shelby Hill fouled Stephenson. Stephenson made the first free throw and missed the second. Weaver grabbed the rebound and was fouled, leading to the final, intense six seconds of play.
Hampden-Sydney avenges loss to R-MC men By Mike Barber Richmond Times-Dispatch
SALEM — HampdenSydney ended its regular season with two disappointing blowout losses at Randolph-Macon and Roanoke. The Tigers have spent this week making up for those defeats. H-SC, which beat Roanoke in the first round of the Old Dominion Athletic Conference on Tuesday, took a 12-0 lead on the way to a 68-55 upset of top-seeded Randolph-Macon on Friday in the quarterfinals at the Salem Civic Center. “They came out wanting it more than us, plain and simple,” R-MC junior forward Joe Hassell said. “We embarrassed them at our gym and they wanted vengeance. And that’s what they got.” The Tigers, who lost 90-67 at Macon nine days ago, got 22 points and 12 rebounds from senior center Khobi Williamson and 10 each from sophomores Mike Murray and Mitch

They extended the lead to 21-6 with 9:20 to play before the break and 28-8 with 6:20 before halftime. “I thought they were clearly more ready to play than we were,” R-MC coach Nathan Davis said. “And that’s my fault. I don’t think I had them understanding the challenges they were going to face. It’s a rival game that we’ve handled twice and they came out here with a purpose and got us in a hole and it was too much to overcome.” Dave Lawrence/The Local Macon (20-6) answered with Hampden-Sydney’s Khobi Williamson (left), shown here in the the Tigers’ 90-67 loss to a 13-3 surge to cut it to 31-21 Randolph-Macon at Crenshaw Gymnasium on Wednesday, Feb. 19, led a Hampden-Sydey squad determined to avenge the loss in the quarterfinals of the ODAC tournament at Salem Civic Center on a driving layup by Lamont Moore with 39 seconds left in Friday.

Senior center Morgan King scored 25 points and had 15 rebounds for the Quakers, who were trying to become the first team to win three straight league titles since Macon did it from 2005-2007. “There are some very, very good players that go through the conference and never win
