Explaining Daylight Saving isn’t easy

From the editor

Election ’15 almost got lost in presidential bids We had an election in Hanover County last week and, thanks to the participation of candidates in these pages, you were informed about their platforms, political philosophies, etc. That being said, we’ve already been overwhelmed with the presidential election of 2016. As Donald Trump soared in early polling in the Republican Party, here’s one voter who was totally dumbfounded by the rally of support for him. These days, however, Dr. Ben Carson has jumped ahead, while some of the many GOP candidates who threw their hats into the ring early have chosen not to seek the nation’s top office. And then there’s Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Not even going to talk about them at this point. Millions of dollars will be spent in the coming months, which is unsettling when we live in a country that has residents who are in need. It’s obscene at the monies spent to win elected office. Years ago, a political hack (and that’s what he was) in my home county actually talked about delivering Kroger grocery bags filled with cash to a candidate for a state office. Sadly, it came as no surprise. I’ve seen far too many offices bought, with little if any thought for the people they are elected to serve. Power is intoxicating, but what price must we pay for others’ egos? So, go ahead and mark your calendars for the Democratic and Republican primaries that will be held on March 1.

Halloween just isn’t the same Even though my home is located in a nice neighborhood, no trick-ortreaters arrived on Halloween in their costumes and carrying a bucket or bag to fill with treats. We were prepared, but, alas, there were no characters from “Frozen” (or whatever the costume of 2015 was) or ghosts or goblins roaming the streets and ringing doorbells. I get it though — Halloween isn’t what it was when I was a kid. And that’s too bad — it was a good time “back in the day.” Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist We go through the same motions each year as we spring forward and fall back with our clocks, and, to many, the ritual has become routine and performed without much thought. But, explaining how Daylight Saving Time works is a much more challenging task when you are speaking to children. The thought that time can be turned back and extended just doesn’t register with them, and

the process seems much more complicated than simply adjusting a few clocks. That’s the question that kept creeping up at my house the weekend the time changed, the hows and whys behind Daylight Saving Time (DST) and its return to normal time schedules we perform each fall. Like many traditions and practices, DST is a European invention, and there is evidence that ancient civilizations practiced some form of the sunsaving measure centuries ago.

Benjamin Franklin hinted at its inception in 1784 when he penned an essay in France entitled An Economist Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light. He suggested Parisians rise earlier to preserve the precious light of the day. Parliament considered a law that would install DST several weeks a year in 1908 but it didn’t pass. But, the real impetus for enacting DST was prompted by World War I see DAYLIGHT, pg. 8

LETTERS | Reader Views

Questioning fundraisers for county fire departments I received a letter a week or so back from “EMS Direct Mail Marketing and Fundraising,” Aston, Pennsylvania, asking for money for the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department Inc. (Note: MVFD is incorporated) does that mean they are not associated with Hanover County?) Do you realize that up to 70 percent of the money collected can go to these fundraising companies? Seems a bit much to ask the citizens of Hanover to send money to help volunteers and then give up to 70 percent of the money to some entrepreneur using an American soft spot to support a business. I was thinking Hanover County took over Fire-EMS and with a budget in excess of $15 million. Why are we doing fundraisers? The brochure from the fundraising company says money collected in the past was used to refurbish rescue #7. If we need a truck refurbished, why don’t we have the Hanover County Board of Supervisors find another overpaid employee (like the past Hanover County Schoolssponsored traffic engineer) and give that wasted money to the volunteers? I actually think it is a rip-off to take money from Hanover County citizens like this. Some of these givers don’t have enough money to support themselves and yet they donate because: #1, they may believe this is actually the county collecting the money, or, #2, they may believe they will not get rescued if they don’t contribute. Taxpayers should remember they are already contributing with taxes to purchase buildings, equipment, pay salaries, benefits and retirement for these services.

The disgrace is this: up to 70 percent of a person’s hardearned donated money can go to the fundraiser. Think about it, you send $20 to Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department Inc. and up to $14 of the $20 can go to the fundraising company, leaving $6 for MVFD. Here’s a better way for you to donate. If Hanover County wants to use an outside fundraiser and you want to donate say $20, don’t use the fundraising envelope, use your own envelope and send $6 instead of $20. Exactly the same money getting to MVFD but you keep the $14 instead of giving it to someone probably driving a Mercedes and belonging to the country club. Another thing not making sense — seems everyone is into having “Trunk or Treat” supposedly to keep kids safer by keeping them off the street at Halloween. How does this work when most trunk or treats are done the week before Halloween? Ted Mentz Old Church see LETTERS, pg. 8

There is a tragedy brewing in the Hanover County Public Schools system. The public is uninformed of the very serious nature of this dire situation. And, apparently, no one on the Hanover County School Board or in the school administration is willing to challenge this unfolding dilemma. The exodus and suspensions of high school teachers at Hanover High School has remained hidden from public view.

of write-ins and the length of the ballot.” The Hanover County Electoral Board was scheduled to canvass the election results last week. “We are already preparing for the Dual Presidential Primary to be held on March 1, 2016,” Smithson added. “Absentee ballots for that election will be available on Jan. 14,

2016. We will need many more citizens to serve as an Officers of Election.” Around 3 p.m. on Election Day, she said there weren’t “any glitches, setbacks or irregularities at this point in time.” “It’s been great. Voter turnout has been, well, we anticipated reasonably light, so our electoral board members have been out and checking out the

polling places,” she said. “The electoral board member reported back that he believed – Mr. [Louis] Szari, vice chair of the electoral board, said he was anticipating – based on what he saw this morning – about a 30 to 35 percent turnout in the Mechanicsville area. It’s been pretty quiet.” The results are unofficial.

The classroom events that led to these suspensions were, according to multiple sources, considered unacceptable to only two students and their parents. Their complaints resulted in the teachers being kicked out of the classroom. There is no information that school officials defended or supported their teachers. On the contrary, it seems these school officials responded to pressure and pushed through the suspensions. Members of the board of supervisors, namely Sean Davis, Walt Hazzard and Canova Peterson, have shown outrage when viewpoints that were unfavorable to the United States were discussed in the

classroom. These powerful BOS members have a right to their opinion. These gentlemen would, it seems, prefer to have our high school students stuffed in a box and then sealed with glue and tape. They would not want students to hear anything that originated outside that box! But do members of the BOS have the right to shut down and intimidate teachers, disrupt classrooms, and to dictate what literature and art work will be used? Overall, the school system officials have responded by saying “yes.” Most parents, with a few exceptions, are either oblivious to the facts or do not wish to become involved.

Is Fahrenheit 451 right around the corner? When will To Kill Mockingbird be banned ... for the second time? Let us as a community have the courage to find the truth. Failure to deal with this matter will only allow the Hanover County Public Schools system to spiral into disaster. I challenge the Hanover County School Board to hold a public forum on this matter, to hear the concerns of parents and students, and to then determine the facts behind the resignations and ongoing suspensions of outstanding teachers at Hanover High.

during World War II and year-round DST, or War Time, became the norm for Americans for years during the conflict. A practice called Double War Time was instituted in Britain where clocks were set ahead by two hours in the summer to prolong daylight hours. After the war, it was up to broadcast leaders and other officials to determine if DST would be used and there was confusion from one state to the next. So, in 1965, Congress decided to make DST uniform for the nation, beginning on the last Sunday in April and ending the last day in October. The period was extended during the 1973 oil embargo, and some experts said it saved

10,000 barrels of oil a day. Parents argued the dark mornings were a hazard to their children who walked to bus stops without the morning sun provided by the normal schedule. The importance of leisure time and quality periods with family won the day, and Americans accepted DST as a social mandate aimed at making their lives better. At least, more of it could be spent in daylight. So, it all seems simple enough. Clocks are set one hour forward when DST begins and set back one hour when it ends. But, the minds of pre-teens don’t work exactly that way, and, try as I did, I couldn’t make

them understand how time moves forward and reverses. They approached the matter from a physical point of view and asked about the earth’s rotation and how it could be altered to accommodate DST. I explained that it wasn’t nature being manipulated, but man altering a man-made time-telling system, but they seemed puzzled when the conversation ended. That became even more apparent when one made an under the breath comment that summed up their confusion regarding DST. “I thought you told us it wasn’t nice to fool Mother Nature?” We’ll try again in the spring.

Pets of the Week

Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Reagan, 418512, is an (estimated) 11-year-old female hound. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Reagan has been in the shelter for one month. She is an older girl but you couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tell with all of her playfulness. She gets along great with other dogs and she loves people. Reagan would make a great family dog. Jesse, 418716, is a (estimated) 10-year-old male domestic short-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV negative. Jesse is a nice old man who came to the shelter last month. He has lost some of his teeth throughout the years but that has not stopped him from eating his food. He does better with soft food. Jesse has a very sweet personality. He is very well litter trained. Jesse would make a great housecat. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-3656485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays. You also can visit the website to see other animals available for adoption at http://hanovercounty.gov/Animals/ Adopt-a-Pet/.

The Atlee High School Marching Raiders, under the direction of Paul Rozecki, enjoyed a very successful season. This year’s show was “Back to the Future.” The band members got a special treat on the day of their final marching assessment on Saturday, Oct. 31. A DeLorean complete with a flux capacitor arrived from the future to take them back in time. The Marching Raiders performed their show that afternoon and received a Superior/1 rating for the seventh straight year. This distinction makes them eligible to become a Virginia Honor Band. The band has received this honor 14 times. The band also placed first in the 4A division, and received first place General Effect, first place Music and first place Color Guard at the Lee-Davis Tournament of Champions, which was held on Oct. 24. At the Hermitage Classic, held earlier in the season, the band placed third in its division and won first place Color Guard. The Marching Raiders had a fun-filled season of going back in time with their “Back to the Future” show.

Usher rides by BPES students

Baby’s First Christmas Photographs of area babies who are celebrating their first Christmas will appear in the newspaper

Wednesday, December 23

Photo submitted by Trish Williamson

Some lucky fifth grade students from Battlefield Park Elementary School literally bumped into Usher on Oct. 14 during a field trip to Washington, D.C. He was sitting on his bicycle. Rather than approach him, the parents agreed to pose several boys yards ahead of the entertainer’s path so when he rode by they could take a photo with him in the background. Usher made eye contact with the group and offered what was described as a genuine smile. One parent said, “It seems he appreciated our unique, noninvasive photo opp. It turns out it was Usher’s birthday.”

Thankful

This Christmas, a special page of The Mechanicsville Local will be devoted to pictures of area babies who are celebrating their first Christmas. You may purchase a spot for your baby’s photograph on the page for only $2500. Please send us a walletsize photograph of your baby before Wednesday, December 16, 2015.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com M E C HA N IC S V I L L E — Hanover County officials, multiple congregations and Christian clergy will gather at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, at Life Church at 8378 Atlee Rd. in Mechanicsville for a night of community worship and celebration entitled “Upward, Inward and Outward.” This historic evening, the first ever hosted by Life Church, will feature music, prayers and preaching from various Christian traditions, ranging from Episcopal to Pentecostal and Methodist to Baptist. During the service, worshipers are encouraged to bring a grocery bag containing the items needed to complete a Thanksgiving meal for a needy family – everything except the turkey. These food bags will be distributed by MCEF (Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions) to needy

Mechanicsville seniors and families at their foodpantry. In addition, a cash offering will be collected to support MCEF and their efforts to care for the needy during the upcoming holiday season. “In an age where Christianity is becoming increasingly marginalized, a Community Thanksgiving Service is a time for churches in Hanover County and the surrounding region to come together in a show of solidarity for our faith and a renewed emphasis in our mission to serve the residents of our county,” said the Rev. Joshua Lewis of Life Church. Lewis began planning the ecumenical service this summer after spending time over coffee with Lynn Saunders, community liaison for MCEF. An advocate for Christian unity, Lewis saw MCEF as a “... vehicle that could be used to celebrate Christian unity rath-

er than the isolation that often happens between neighboring faith communities.” MCEF has served residents of Mechanicsville since 1976 by providing food, clothing and financial assistance to families in the 23111 and 23116 zip codes when they face difficult times. “Many Mechanicsville residents live paycheck to paycheck. We are called to support those who find themselves in a desperate situation, needing food, clothing or utility assistance. Our pantry provides food for over 200 seniors and families each month. It’s the support of the faith community working together that offers the hope they need to make it another day,” said Saunders. The ecumenical worship service will feature special musical selections from the praise band of Grace Christian School and clergy participation from Episcopal Church of the Creator, Life Church,

McKendree United Methodist, Mechanicsville Church of Christ, Mechanicsville Baptist, Mechanicsville Presbyterian and Trinity Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Pastor Buddy Thompson of Life Church said, “I am deeply grateful for the area churches and guests that are coming together to share in this momentous service. MCEF has been a light in our region for almost 40 years and we are thrilled to partner with them as a faith community to continue meeting the needs of our friends, relatives and neighbors. We are coming together to multiply our resources and promote Christian unity in order that the underserved, struggling and vulnerable of our community can be loved and cared for.” The Community Thanksgiving Service is open to the public and will conclude with light refreshments for all guests.

C-feds complete sweep of Hanover teams By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – The time-honored football strategy of “get the ball to your shiftiest players in space” proved a wise one for Lee-Davis in the 57th Tomato Bowl on Friday night. A 68-yard second-quarter touchdown pass from Chase Mummau to Miles Johnson – in which the senior receiver did the heavy lifting – helped the Confederates break out of their doldrums in a 29-18 victory over visiting Patrick Henry in the regular-season finale for both teams. The win gives Lee-Davis a sweep of its Hanover County rivals – Patrick Henry, Atlee and Hanover – for the first time since 2012 and solidifies the Confederates’ playoff position in Region 5A South, where they entered the game as the sixth seed and left as fifth seed. The Confederates will travel to No. 4 seed Douglas Freeman this Friday in the first round of the region playoffs. Johnson’s big play came on third-and-3 after a holding call wiped away a Nathan Evans first down. Mummau found Johnson on the right sideline, and he worked his way down the sideline before shaking Patrick Henry cornerback Kwatayvous Blackwell with a PlayStation-level juke to free himself for a 68-yard score that

put Lee-Davis (8-2) up 7-3. “It was a kickstart for sure,” Johnson said. “Our offense was coming out slow in the beginning. I told the coaches to get the ball in my hands so I could spark the ignition. I just went and made a play.” Johnson finished with a

team-high 107 yards on five catches, including an 18-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. “He’s dynamic,” Lee-Davis coach Ryan Turnage said. “He’s great in space. With him and Billy [Kemp] both in the slot, those guys are hard to defend.

He does a great job when he catches the football.” The Patriots (4-6) had moved 45 yards on their first drive, losing a touchdown when a Hunter Hart run was disallowed due to a penalty, to set up a 32-yard field goal from Logan Bulthuis. That would

be their only score until Hart hit Jonathan Spaulding for an 8-yard touchdown with 8:19 remaining in the fourth quarter. “We got behind the sticks with a lot of penalties,” Patrick

In late August, Atlee’s field hockey team was in disarray. The Raiders had just lost a game 3-1 to county rival Lee-Davis. Earlier that week, they dropped their season opener to Gloucester 9-0. Fast forward a little more than two months after their 0-2 start: The Raiders were playing for a berth in the state playoffs at Mountain View Wednesday in the Region 5A North semifinals. The Raiders season ended as they struggled to adjust to Mountain View’s turf field – they played on grass almost the entire season – and fell to the Wildcats 7-0 to end their season one game short of a return trip to the state semifinals.

Cheatham, Hawks stay step ahead of Henrico By Jonathan Howard For the Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – After eight weeks of watching from the sidelines with a broken ankle, Hanover quarterback Clayton Cheatham was eager to get back on the field. It didn’t take long for the junior to make an impact. Cheatham accounted for 292 yards of total offense and scored three touchdowns in a 24-21 victory over No. 7 Henrico (73). The third-and-final touchdown came with 4:58 left in regulation, giving the Hawks the final margin of victory. The win locked up the second seed and a home game in the 4A East region for Hanover (7-3). “To come back after eight weeks, the butterflies were definitely there,” Cheatham said. “I was jacked up, but after the first hit, you get in game mode and you’re ready to go.” The visiting Warriors struck first, on their second possession, with a 63-yard touchdown pass from Lawrence Chambers to Kobe Chavis. Chambers drew the Hanover defense with a play-action pass, and found Chavis wide open along the sideline for the score. Cheatham would answer, leading the Hawks on three consecutive scoring drives, ending in a touchdown pass to Jack

was disappointing, it was quite a turnaround for the Raiders, who had struggled early on from a lack of communication on the field according to head coach Alyssa Farling. After their loss to Lee-Davis, senior captains Hayley Anna, Sydney Baldwin, Emily Fulk and Numa Rehmani

,Dean Hoffmeyer/Times-Dispatch

Hanover’s Clayton Cheatham, in his first game back since being injured in the Hawks’ season opener, stretches across the goal line in their win over Henrico Friday.

Chenault, a 34-yard field goal by John Dustin, and a 10-yard touchdown run. Cheatham’s performance didn’t shock Hanover head coach Derek Stoud. “I saw a kid that was ready to go and chomping at the bit

because he missed eight weeks in the season,” Stoud said. “There was no nervousness out of him. There was no secondguessing should I play or should I not play. Once he was cleared he was playing and there wasn’t much thought about it.”

Down, but not out, Henrico would answer the Hawks’ offensive surge with a touchdown of its own and cut the lead to 17-14 shortly before halftime. Chambers once again found a receiver for a long score, ending the seven-play drive with a 42-

yard strike down the seam to Darryl Green. While big plays were made in the air in the first half, the second half was dominated by play on the ground. The teams each only had the ball one time in the third quarter, with both

drives ending on downs in the opponent’s territory. When a drive finally succeeded, it was Henrico that found pay dirt first. Xavier Goodall capped an eight-play,

had a team meeting to discuss the team’s problems. “I give them credit. The captains and the girls came together and said ‘We need to trust each other moving forward,’ ” Farling said. “They did that the next game and kept that streak going for a good while.” After the loss to Lee-Davis, Atlee won eight straight games and thirteen of their final fourteen games to finish the regular

season with a 13-3 record. The Raiders’ playoff run began when they beat Orange County in a Conference 16 semifinal 3-1. The victory gave them an automatic bid in regionals. They lost in the Conference 16 final to Albemarle 3-2. The Raiders went on to defeat Thomas JeffersonAlexandria 2-1 in the first round of the 5A North regional playoffs Monday to set up the

match up with Mountain View. Despite the loss to Mountain View, Farling considered the season a success season. “It was absolutely a successful season,” Farling said. “I told them ‘I know this was a frustrating loss but reminded them tonight of the success they’ve had this season and that they really need to be proud of that.’” One key to the turnaround

was Rehmani, the senior goalkeeper. “She’s phenomenal. She’s the quickest goalie I’ve ever worked with,” Farling said. “This month alone she’s probably had five or six games where she had 15-20 saves in a game.” Farling admits the loss of Rehmani and eight other seniors will leave a big experience gap in their lineup next season. She feels, however, that

she has enough returning talent to have a strong team. The 2015 team had six juniors on the roster – including Claire Reagan who could slide into Fulk’s role in the center back position as well as the leadership – who will move up in addition to some junior varsity players who were called up to the varsity roster for the playoffs.

Atlee battles way through to conference title By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee followed up a short burst of shaky play with an extended run of dominance to clinch a spot in next week’s Region 5A North girls volleyball tournament. Senior middle Molly Jarvis found herself in the middle of the action as the Raiders roared back in the third game of a 2511, 25-10, 25-16 victory over Patrick Henry-Roanoke on Wednesday night. Atlee (22-4) never trailed in the first two games before running into trouble in the third. Patrick Henry won the first four points and stepped out to a 9-5 lead behind two Taylor Eichelberger kills. “I think we just lost focus a little bit because we were up 2-0 and we won it by a pretty big margin,” Jarvis said. “We started goofing off a little too much.” So she took control from there. She won a point with a dink, then finished four straight points after another Eichelberger winner, collecting two kills and blocking Megan Pace and Olivia Newman to tie the game at 10. “When I called timeout and pulled them in and blood was

Atlee’s Molly Jarvis (42) tips the ball over the hands of Albemarle’s Alexis Duday (7) and Stephanie Lugus (3) in the Conference 16 girls volleyball final at Atlee High School Thursday. The Raiders swept the Patriots 26-24, 25-19, 26-24.

coming from my eyes, I think they knew I was serious and they had to do something,” Atlee coach Curtis Carpenter joked. “I had just told them [to maintain focus], and I reminded them that I just told them. It’s a negative after a nice win, but

we have to do better than that to be a championship team.” That’s exactly what the Raiders were two years ago, when they won the Division 5A state championship. Jarvis and her fellow seniors were sophomores on that team and

saw their junior season end well short of that point, with a loss to Lee-Davis in the very round they moved past on Wednesday. The Patriots (10-15) had one more run left after Jarvis’s hot streak, reeling off the next

three points, but it was all Atlee from there. Senior outside hitter Emalee Martin took control with three kills, flummoxing Patrick Henry’s blockers with her lefty hits from the right side, as the Raiders rang up 12 of the next 13 points for a 22-14 lead

they wouldn’t relinquish. “When Em is on, she’s hard to stop,” Carpenter said. “A lot of it is because she hits a heavy ball and she’s left-handed. A lot of people, even when they figure that she’s left-handed, they still have a hard time blocking her.” Kyra Walden led Atlee with nine kills. Jarvis had six kills and five blocks, while Martin added four kills and two blocks. Madison Whitehurst had six kills, eight digs and one ace. Eichelberger led Patrick Henry with six kills, six digs and two aces despite being the focus of Atlee’s defense. “She is a beast,” Carpenter said. “We had a pretty good game plan for what to expect, and I thought that we executed our game plan very well and pretty much shut her down. If she got loose on us, we were going to be in trouble.” Newman had 12 assists and three digs for the Patriots and Destiny Norman chipped in with three blocks. In the Conference 16 final, Atlee rallied from a 24-18 deficit to beat Albemarle 26-24 in the first game and then rolled to a sweep of the Patriots in the Region 5A North championsee ATLEE, pg. 39

Lee-Davis eliminated by Mills Godwin By Laura Fien Richmond Times-Dispatch

Al exa Welch Edlund/Times-Dispatch

Lee Davis’ Hailey Carter gets a Mills Godwin shot up in the Confederates’ 25-16, 16-25, 25-23, 25-18 loss to the Eagles in a Conference 11 girls volleyball semifinal at Hermitage High School Wednesday. Lee-Davis ended its season at 12-11.

HENRICO – It was all about changes and making adjustments in the Conference 11 girls volleyball semifinals at Hermitage High School. The No. 1 Eagles defeated the No. 5 Confederates 25-16, 16-25, 25-23, 25-18 just one year after the Confederates knocked the Eagles out of the Region 5A

South semifinals. “It’s a big win, we know that they are a great quality team,” said Mills Godwin coach Chris Wakefield. “I have been here four years now and that’s the first time we have beat them in the playoffs and to finally to get over that hump is a huge weight off of our shoulders.” Even though Mills Godwin only gave up one set, it wasn’t the easiest of wins.

The Eagles flew past the Confederates in the first set, but struggled in the second when the Confederates made some adjustments on defense. The Confederates went on a 6-0 run and led 20-14 before taking the second set. “They are a well coached team,” said Wakefield. “We didn’t really respond to their adjustments well. It seemed like we gave up and didn’t have any

Then the Eagles came back to tie the Confederates three different times before sealing the set. “They are a very good passing team, so it’s hard to get aces and runs on those guys,” said see LEE-DAVIS, pg. 39

Hanover gains title with win over Powhatan By Billy Fellin For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – On Sept. 2, the Powhatan Indians rolled into the Hanover gym to face the Hawks girls volleyball team. The match was a 3-1 win for Hanover, with an epic second set that went well beyond the normal 25 points. Almost exactly two months later, the Indians returned to Hanover’s gym, this time in the Conference 20 final. Hanover coach Karl Lippa said that the team had a goal against the Indians this time.

“We dropped a set to them,” Lippa said. “We hadn’t done that very often this season. So, for us, our goal was to win in three.” The Hawks achieved that goal as they won the Conference 20 title with a 25-18, 25-11, 2523 win over the Indians. Hanover’s Leila Haynesworth and Kylie Tuxford were forces on the outside of the net for the Hawks (21-4). Miranda Hall also was incredible effective at finding the soft spots in the Powhatan defense, which was unprepared for the onslaught that the Hawks threw

at them. “We were very focused tonight,” Lippa said. “Our outside hitters were doing a nice job. Our team overall did a nice job, but it’s great when you have both sides working so well.” Tuxford was especially effective, scoring 15 kills, three digs and two blocks. Miranda Hall had 14 kills, two digs and two aces, while Haynesworth had seven kills, five aces and five digs. Rebecca Hoover added nine digs and four aces. The 10 combined aces from see HANOVER, pg. 39

Henry coach Bryan Davis said. “You can’t do that. It’s unfortunate, because we just lost all our flow. We had our first touchdown wiped off the board, and I thought that got to us a little bit. Some of those things you just can’t control.” The Confederates then came up empty on two redzone opportunities sandwiched around a Brandon Braxton fumble, then gave up the ball when Nick Reisenweaver threw

Cheatham led the Hawks on a seven-play drive capped by a 10-yard scoring run. The Hawks defense stood tall from there, twice turning Henrico over on downs in the final five minutes. Chambers, who passed for 202 yards, was unable to find an open receiver. “[The defense] came up huge

and made big plays. They were all over the ball,” Stoudt said. “They were in the right spot pretty much the entire game. The only difference is that last part they made the plays they had to make.” Jonathan Howard can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com.

an interception on a fake punt early in the second quarter. But the long score got them going, and Mummau added to the lead himself with a 1-yard sneak in the last minute of the first half on a drive that was aided by a Patriots facemask penalty. “I worry as a coach, but the kids came off [the unsuccessful drives] feeling pretty confident that we just missed opportunities,” Turnage said. “We missed a throw here and there. We missed a block. We got it corrected on the sidelines, made the adjustments and from

there, I thought we moved the ball pretty efficiently.” Joseph Hudnall delivered on a 30-yard field goal in the third quarter, and the teams traded touchdowns in the fourth. Mummau finished with 258 yards passing, while senior tailback Nathan Evans ran 24 times for a game-high 82 yards and a touchdown. Hart ran for 75 yards and passed for 84 more for Patrick Henry, including fourth-quarter touchdowns to Spaulding and Justin Sikkar. Chip Knighton can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Indians gather momentum and get into the match. Set three was the closest of all, with Powhatan climbing back from an early 5-1 hole to tie it at 13-13. The teams battled point-for-point after that, with the Indians taking their first lead at 15-14 since leading 1-0

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor EARLYSVILLE – Patrick Henry’s Grant Davis and Atlee’s Connor Moses and Caitlin Donovan led their respective packs for the second straight week as they finished ahead of all local runners in their races in the Region 5A North cross country championships at Panorama Farms Thursday. Davis led all local runners with a ninth-place finish and Moses was second among local runners with a 13th-place finish in the boys championship race, while Donovan was sixth in the girls championship race on the hilly course laid out on the Virginia Piedmont. All three qualified for the Virginia High School League Group 5A championships, which will be held at Great Meadows in The Plains Friday afternoon beginning at 1 p.m. Davis and Moses will be the only representatives of their teams, while Donovan will be joined by the rest of Atlee’s girls team, which qualified to advance by finishing sixth in the region. For Davis and Moses, the challenge was to meet the goals they had set for themselves. Grant sought a top-10 finish, while Moses wanted to finish in the top 15. The challenge was made all the harder by the weather: while the weather of late has been cool, the temperature Thursday rose to just shy of 80 degrees and quite a few

runners were feeling the effects of it as they reached the end of the 5,000-meter course. “The heat definitely threw us all a curve,” Davis said. “I don’t think anybody was really expecting it. We were all expecting it to be cool and possibly raining.” Moses agreed. “It made it tough,” he said. “At the end, I was definitely feeling it. I really wanted to keep pushing myself to get top 15 and finally outsprinted a guy and had to dig really deep.” Moses and Tuscarora’s John Heberle overtook Stafford’s Philip Lambert with less than 100 feet to go. Heberle finished 15th while Lambert finished 15th. Donovan, who has been recovering from health prob-

lems that plagued her this season, was feeling even better than she was last week at the Conference 16 meet, but she’s not where she wants to be yet. “I want to be able to get into the 19’s, but I finished just over, in 20-flat,” Donovan said. “I feel a lot happier than I have been, but I still know that there’s room for improvement.” The Atlee boys were running strong, but their bid to advance as a team ended when two of the Raiders runners left their race due to injuries on the course.

Randolph-Macon one step closer to ODAC title By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – RandolphMacon’s women’s volleyball team got is post-season off to a good start: with a win over Lynchburg. The Yellow Jackets, who won the Old Dominion Athletic Conference regular season title, swept the Hornets 25-22, 2523, 25-12 Wednesday night in Crenshaw Gymnasium. The ODAC tournament continued after this edition went to press Saturday with Randolph-Macon (23-7) meeting Roanoke (22-5). The ODAC final was held later that day. The first two games were touch-and-go for the Yellow Jackets. “We weren’t playing to our best potential,” said RandolphMacon outside hitter Courtney Lowers, who finished with 10 kills and 10 digs. “We were still trying to find their weaknesses. They played really well. They were picking balls up, stuff that we weren’t expecting them to get up.” Lynchburg head coach Beth Ellinger said her defense played exceptionally well. “I think the defense and the hustle tonight was phenomenal,”

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Randolph-Macon’s Courtney Lowers (23) fires a shot between Lynchburg College’s Hannah Wolf (16) and Amanda Wrightson (24) in the Yellow Jackets’ sweep of the Hornets in an Old Dominion Athletic Conference quarterfinal Wednesday

Ellinger said. “We didn’t let a lot of balls drop. I think that a lot of balls that would have scored on us in the earlier match in September didn’t tonight. We were hard to score on.” Once the Yellow Jackets got into a groove, though, they

were able to get the points they needed to win game one. But the Hornets were equally tough the second game, closing to within a point, 24-23, before Randolph-Macon could get the win. “We fought really hard,”

Ellinger said. “These guys own a lot of teams, and take them from the beginning and you don’t have a chance. But I don’t think they ever felt safe with us around, which made me feel good about the way we played tonight.”

The Yellow Jackets rshad to regroup as the Hornets closed in. “We just came up as a team and said, ‘Well, there’s not one person on the team who’s going to do this. We have to do this as a team,’ ” Lowers said. “We just

pulled each other together and said, “All right, simple things. Go back to the basics: Pass, set, hit. Pass, set, hit.’ With that, that’s how you win a volleyball game.” The third match, however, the Yellow Jackets pounced early and kept Lynchburg at a safe distance, even when the Hornets were doing a good job of keeping balls in the air on contested points. RandolphMacon did the same, keeping the ball in the air on its side until someone could get a shot through the Lynchburg defense. “We just call that scrappiness, luck of the draw. Both are very athletic teams,” Lowers said. “Some of the balls that we got up in the air were just, ‘See if you can get an arm under it!’ and going for it.” The Yellow Jackets has a lot of help in the passing and setting department. Riley Martin finished with 19 assists and Erin Quinn finished with 18 – combining for 14 more assists than the entire Lynchburg squad managed. Emily Ortiz, Addie Cooper and Katie Rossberg finished with eight kills apiece. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Steady Raiders win Conference 12 title By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor

November 10, 2015

PRINCE GEORGE – When Atlee and Patrick Henry were paired on the same side of the bracket in the Conference 12 boys volleyball tournament, there was no chance that both teams would advance to the regional playoffs. At best, both teams would meet in the conference semifinals and one team would elimi-

nate the other a game short of the regionals. That is exactly what happened. No. 1 Atlee met No. 4 Patrick Henry in the conference semis Wednesday at Prince George High School. While the Patriots rode an opening wave on intensity to victory in the first set, the steady Raiders plugged away to win the next three 22-25, 25-18, 25-21, 25-18 and advance to the conference final.

“We’re a team that plays very level-headed,” said Atlee head coach Nick Robinson. “We don’t get too high on emotions and we don’t get too low on emotions. I think, over the course of a match, that that’s definitely to our advantage.” Patrick Henry head coach Michael Townsend said the young Patriots squad made too many errors to keep up the momentum of their opening set win.

“It’s really hard to keep energy when the team’s making errors,” Townsend said. “You kind of start deflating yourself and that’s pretty much exactly what we did.” The Raiders (24-2) defeated Matoaca 25-21, 25-19, 20-25, 25-16 in the conference final at Prince George Thursday. Both Atlee and the Warriors will advance to the Region 5A South tournament, which began earlier this week.
