ANOVER — Millions of Americans took a moment to recognize and honor the nation’s veterans last week as they attended memorial services throughout the
country. On a sunny fall afternoon, hundreds of Hanoverians joined in the spirit of Veterans Day as they gathered Wednesday, Nov. 11, at Hanover Wayside Park off U.S. 301 at the county’s Veterans Memorial. It’s a somber ceremony that has become a Hanover tradition, and
many county officials took advantage of the day off to pay homage to the veterans who served and those who died in service to their country. Sean Davis, who represents the Henry District on the Hanover see SERVED, pg. 5
South Anna representative Sue Dibble agreed. “I felt the selection was a perfect fit for Hanover County,” she said. “We got the guy our people in Hanover County want and need, and we listened to them. We’ve got the man for Hanover.” Dibble made the motion to appoint Gill to the helm of the school district. Gill holds a B.A. from Western Kentucky University and a Doctor of Education, Master’s Degree and post Master’s Certificate from Virginia Commonwealth University. When the board unanimously approved his appointment, a round of applause erupted in the meeting room, see SEARCH, pg. 4

New section of battlefield to be dedicated Saturday Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — A recently preserved section of the Cold Harbor battlefield will be opened to the public on Saturday, Nov. 21, following a dedication ceremony starting at 10 a.m. Located along Beulah Church Road, this new land saw significant fighting on May 31, June 1 and June 3, 1864, and contains well-preserved earthworks from the two weeks the Union and Confederate armies confronted each other at Cold Harbor. Funding from the NPS Centennial Initiative made this project possible. In preparation for the National Park Services’ 100th birthday, these special funds provided for the necessary archeology, maintenance, interpretive waysides, parking area and removal of nonhistoric structures needed to restore the battlefield landscape.
“The Centennial will celebrate the achievements of the past 100 years, but it is really about the future.” said park superintendent David Ruth. “I can’t think of a better way to excite the public about National Parks and American history than by opening up important battlefield land and telling its story.” The new property, located along Beulah Church Road directly across from the church, will be dedicated in a program beginning at 10 a.m. Representatives from Richmond National Battlefield Park, Civil War Trust and Richmond Battlefields Association will speak during the ceremony. Following the program, they will unveil the new interpretive markers and ranger guided walking tours will be offered of the new land. Parking for the event will be at Beulah Church at 7252 Beulah Church Road. All programs are free.
The 18-acre parcel of battlefield ground was preserved by the Richmond Battlefields Association (RBA) and the Civil War Trust (CWT). Established in 2001, the Richmond Battlefields Association is dedicated to the preservation of historic Civil War sites surrounding Richmond. The Civil War Trust is the largest nonprofit organization devoted to the preservation of America’s hallowed battlegrounds. About Richmond National Battlefield Park The Cold Harbor battlefield is one of 13 Civil War sites protected by Richmond National Battlefield Park in Hanover, Henrico and Chesterfield counties. Experiencing the park’s 13 battlefield sites and five visitor centers usually takes a full day. A driving tour of
the battlefields is available at any of the park’s sites. The main park visitor center is located at Historic Tredegar at 470 Tredegar St. in Richmond and provides museum exhibits, audio-visual programs and orientation services to help plan a visit to the battlefields. For more information, contact Richmond National Battlefield Park at 804-226-1981 or via the internet at www.nps.gov/rich or www.Facebook. com/RichmondNPS.

Richmond community where the not-for-profit health system might improve the health of the community. The assessment is available through Dec. 20. The 25-question survey, available online in English and Spanish at www.chna.bonsecours.com, divides among general questions, specific questions regarding each community and health concerns. It’s anonymous — the data is organized only by ZIP code — and takes less than 10 min-
utes to complete. Under the Affordable Care Act, nonprofit health systems, like Bon Secours, that operate one or more hospitals are required to conduct a community health needs assessment (CHNA) every three years. Along with input from local health departments, social services, school systems, community safety net providers and local governments, the survey contributes to an overall snapshot of the community. “Since 1966, Bon Secours
has been committed to providing good help to those in need in Richmond. This survey offers a great opportunity to continue to recognize and address high priority health care needs in the area,” said Toni Ardabell, CEO, Bon Secours Richmond Health System. “We hope our neighbors in Richmond will take a few minutes to complete this survey to help us understand what the greatest health care needs are in our community.” In the last survey, signifi-
cant health needs in the area were identified as adult and childhood obesity, cancer, chronic disease, heart disease and stroke, behavioral care, uninsured children and adults, oral health, maternal health, aging services and transportation. The health system has helped to meet these concerns through community programs and collaborative partnerships. All residents 18 and older living in Richmond are invited to participate.

He arrived in Hanover about 18 months ago. “When I came here, I had spent the better part of a career in another system, so I didn’t take the decision to leave that position lightly,” Gill said. “Hanover has a strong foun-
dation, so being selected to lead this division is the greatest professional honor I’ve ever received.” Gill said Hanover felt like a good fit from the beginning. “At the end of the summer of 2014, and after I’d been here for about a month, I felt like I’d been here for years and years. It’s a fantastic school division.” Hundley said the
announcement came early because extra time was provided in case the hire was from outside the Hanover system. “If we would have hired someone from outside the county, then we would have negotiated with the losing system,” Hundley said. “There’s a certain amount of time to let that superintendent go and
give notice. Since we selected internally, there’s a little more leeway.” Hundley said Gill would begin Dec. 1, allowing the new pick to be onboard when budget negotiations begin in earnest. “He wanted to be involved in that process,” Hundley added. “We are committed to continuous improvement,”

OPINION | The Local Views
How much time are kids ‘connected?’
From the editor
Will the times be a-changin’ in Hanover? Yes, we’re taking some liberties with the Bob Dylan song, “The Times They Are a-Changin’.” But, now that we’re past the General Election and a new superintendent has been appointed to lead Hanover County Public Schools, we find ourselves looking ahead to what we hope are positives for our county. The Hanover County Board of Supervisors will be welcoming two new members — Faye O. Prichard, Ashland District, and Scott Wyatt, Cold Harbor District — in January, while Dr. Michael Gill prepares to step into his new role as superintendent on Dec. 1. What can we expect? Well, for starters, the supervisors will be adding a Democrat to the lineup. Prichard, a former mayor and current member of Ashland Town Council, takes the seat vacated by Ed Via, who chose not to seek re-election. Wyatt joins fellow Republicans Sean Davis, Wayne Hazzard, Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Canova Peterson and Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley. He fills the seat that was long-held by Elton Wade, who, like Via, decided not to seek re-election. With politics, this writer is not one to second guess any action or motivation by those elected to public office. I must confess, though, that the buzz around the county has me rethinking previously formed opinions about some of those now in office. There’s always two sides to every story and there’s a reason folks try to stir up trouble when there isn’t any valid reason to do so. In this position, my opinions may appear on this page or they certainly will in the polling place. As a matter of fact, we received thanks after the election for our fair coverage. That’s what you should expect — and demand — of us in an election cycle. As for Gill, we extend our congratulations and hope he will follow the example of the predecessors I have had the privilege to work with in the office of superintendent, Dr. Stewart Roberson and Dr. Jamelle Wilson. A new day is dawning for our county and our school system and we all need to support Prichard, Wyatt and Gill as they start on this journey. Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Like many other parents, I struggle with my children’s overuse of technology and electronic devices, and I often wonder if my kids are the only ones who would prefer to spend almost every waking moment in front of a screen or burying their head in a cell phone. Turns out they are not, and the amount of time youths spend in front of computers or on tablets or cell phones might surprise you.
Common Sense Media provides parents and kids resources to combat the onslaught of multimedia use and monitors the time kids spend staring at screens. They recently published results of a study that gauged just how much time our children spend on entertainment media. American teenagers spend an average of about nine hours a day utilizing some type of media, not including school activities. Children aged 8 to 12 spend, on average, about
six hours. Those uses include social networking, video games, talking or playing on the phone, watching TV or videos or chatting. There’s no denying the Internet offers a myriad of educational opportunities, but it seems our children are opting for more entertainmentbased activities like listening to music or watching their favorite television show. It’s a new challenge for parents see CONNECTED, pg. 8

Mayor corrects election cycle misinformation about funds Now that the election season is behind us, I want to take the opportunity to correct a bit of misinformation that was making the rounds before the votes for Hanover Board of Supervisors (Ashland District) were tallied. It was suggested during the campaign, and then repeated that the Ashland Town Council (and by extension former Mayor Faye Prichard) had been less than good stewards of public funds. In particular the story circulated that council had transferred in excess of $3 million from unexpended reserves to balance the town’s budget over the last five fiscal years, and that this meant that our budgets were bloated. Here’s the reality. Council and staff have a longstanding policy of budgets, which make conservative (as in prudent, not political) projections of revenue to match anticipated expenses. Our policy also is that the unrestricted fund balance (i.e. our reserve) should be approximately 40 to 50 percent of our annual budget. This is our “rainy day fund.” We have stayed within that policy in every budget in my time on council (and before that in Ms. Prichard’s tenure and earlier). Thus, the budgeted transfers from reserve are effectively worst case scenarios. The town manager and senior staff are diligent in maximizing return on expenditures, and work hard to keep actual expenditures under budget. We pay as we go on capital projects, and are proud that the Town currently carries zero debt. Here are the actual figures for the last several fiscal years (shown in the graphic at right): Amounts in parentheses represent net transfers to the reserve – so the only years in which we actually took

Fundraisers for county volunteer fire departments crucial to the survival of the volunteer system In the Nov. 10 issue of The Mechanicsville Local, there was a letter published from Ted Mentz of Old Church regarding the validity, purpose and profitability of a direct mail fundraiser for the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department. We appreciate any citizens’ concerns around our volunteer organization and its fundraising efforts and will take this opportunity to show how our

annual fund drive operates and why it is necessary. The Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department (which is a legally incorporated organization) was founded in 1945. Since inception, our department has relied on the monetary support of the community which we serve. Although our fire department became a combination station with both volunteer and career staff in 2005, we still rely heavily on volunteer firefighters to help keep the station staffed 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. While the county now maintains the building and much of the equipment, the volunteer organization bears responsibility for everything from uniforms, training, public outreach, internal furnishings and certain equipment within the fire station. Naturally, these needs cost money and the funds are raised exclusively through our annual direct mail fund drive. In his letter, Mr. Mentz claimed that up to 70 percent of the money that people

who have waded into an era they don’t fully understand and have even less idea of how to combat. The communication has become increasingly mobile and difficult to monitor, and parents have assumed a look the other way attitude in many instances. The report cites a trend that finds teenagers’ multitasking more as electronic use increases. They listen to music as they are doing their homework, and
donate can go to the fundraising company and not to the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department itself. We are uncertain of the origin of this statistic, but can categorically say that it is not at all accurate. Our volunteer fire department does use an external company to market our annual fund drive to the public. This company is paid a flat, per-piece mailed, fee for their service and is not compensated on any sort of a percentage of donations. The fee paid to the fundraising company for the mailing comes out to being a very small percentage of the total amount that we receive each year from the community. The vast majority of every dollar sent in goes directly to benefit the MVFD and, in turn, directly benefits the citizens of the community we live in. Mr. Mentz also questions the use of funds as stated in this year’s letter regarding the refurbishment of Rescue 7. Rescue 7 is MVFD’s heavy rescue truck, which contains tools to extract victims of severe motor vehicle accidents, search and rescue equipment used in structure fires, ventilation equipment for clearing smoke or hazard-
ous gases from buildings and cleanup/retention equipment for hazardous materials emergencies. Rescue 7 was purchased by the volunteers in 1995. While it is mechanically maintained by the county, the volunteer department is responsible for the majority of tools it carries and also for occasional refurbishments and updates that it requires. At 20 years old, the apparatus required an overhaul last year that will keep it up-todate and reliable for the next decade. The county budget does not include replacement or refurbishment for this volunteer-purchased apparatus and it is important to the volunteers at MVFD to keep this life-saving vehicle operational for our community. Working in a partnership with the county, we were able to complete the overhaul last year. We were proud to mention these successful efforts in our fundraising letter this year and show the community just one part of how their giving benefits our efforts to continue offering life-saving services to our neighbors. While Mr. Mentz is correct that the county has an eightfigure budget for the Fire-EMS
Department, the needs of the department are supplemented significantly by the volunteers that serve it and the donations to the volunteer companies by the community. Without the donations, the volunteer system would fall apart requiring more career staff to be hired which, no doubt, would have a negative impact on local taxes as the budget for Fire-EMS would need to be increased substantially to fill the void left behind. As you can see, donations are a critical component to the Fire-EMS service in Hanover County. We have seen a steady decline in our donations over the past several years and it has become increasingly challenging as costs go up while fundraising income goes down. So when you receive the letter at your house, please consider giving. Donations are greatly in need, are always appreciated and can be made to the Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department at 7161 Stonewall Parkway, Mechanicsville, VA 23111. James Munsey Board member Mechanicsville Volunteer Fire Department
most think it does not hamper their ability to focus. As a parent, multitasking might have a role in increasing efficiency, but not among teens who need to have primary focus when doing homework or reading. It’s a new world with new challenges for parents who constantly worry about what their kids are viewing online and how much time they are spending with electronic devices. Should parents place limits on the amount of time or kind of activities their kids
view online? Absolutely. New challenges require a new set of rules and guidelines and placing limitations on media use equates to responsible parenting. It’s also important to realize the examples we set have a significant influence on how our kids approach media use. I’m guilty of bringing a laptop to the dinner table or a trip to the pool to complete workrelated duties, or conducting an interview in my car while my kids sit and listen. They see me constantly connected to the outside world
through my cell phone and laptop. Perhaps, it’s a message that perpetuates the theory that constant connection is the norm. Bottom line, it’s up to parents and educators to stress the ethical use of multimedia devices, and it’s never too early to set limitations. It’s also not too soon for us to realize that children often mimic their parents’ actions, and — if we don’t want constant media to become our daily routines — it may be time to take a look in the mirror.

First quarter revenues for town look good By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND – Joshua Farrar, deputy finance manager and finance director, presented revenue and expenditure projections and actuals for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2016 during last Wednesday’s regular meeting of Ashland Town Council According to Farrar, revenues for the first quarter look good, sales tax is doing well and there have been some changes to the percentage of school-age
population in town that has positively impacted what the town collects. First quarter meals tax numbers also are good; however, he said, “I do temper that slightly with we’ve have had some pretty good delinquent collections in the first quarter as well, which would fluff those numbers up a little bit.” “Revenues — all-in-all at this point — look really good,” Farrar added. “For the ones that we get on a monthly basis, we’re either up or flat or right on where we budgeted.” Farrar also said the town’s expen-
ditures are on track and in line with previous years. Mike Davis, public works director, presented a resolution to staff requesting additional Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Revenue Sharing funding for a proposed turn lane and traffic signal project on U.S. 1 at Vitamin Shoppe Way. The project was approved by council in 2014. Should the additional funding be granted, the money would be available July 1, 2016. The project was originally initiated
by the Virginia Truck Center development and proffers associated with rezoning that occurred in 2000, Davis said. To fulfill its proffer agreement obligations, on Aug. 20, 2013, Virginia Truck Center presented a check to the town in the amount of $325,000 to be used for transportation improvements on U.S. 1 at Vitamin Shoppe Way.

SHLAND — When Ashland began celebrating Train Day, the celebration was a small gathering of enthusiasts who met at the library to recognize the town’s long association and history with the railroad. On Saturday, Nov. 7, Train Day 2015 featured exhibits at nine locations, as well as movies and live music. The 13th annual event also allowed visitors a chance to visit Ashland’s railroad history up close and personal as living history interpreters walked the streets and told the story of the town’s longstanding relationship with the rails that dissect its main street. Wayne and Brenda Clarke strolled the dampened sidewalks portraying Edwin Robinson and his wife. Robinson is credited with founding Ashland as a resort

Robinson’s resort project, they weren’t enthusiastic about his plans to build a race course near the town. “I wanted to develop a race course, and, for some reason, the Board of Directors did not support my idea of having a horse track

The consent agenda was approved at the town council meeting, including a request for authorization for construction improvements to the sidewalk on the west side of South Center Street from
Myrtle Street to Early Street and improvements to drainage on the 100 block of Stebbins Street. Talley & Armstrong is the contractor for the project, which includes the installation of storm water inlets and pipes from 105 Stebbins St. and connection to the storm water drainage system on Center Street. The project will replace the existing sidewalk and curb on South Center Street and a curb and gutter will be added to South Center Street to improve drainage. The estimated cost of the project is about $402,000. Council approved the reappointment of Keith Cartwright as a member of the Ashland Parks and Recreation Committee.

in the early 20th century. The commuter train whisked riders from Ashland to work or shop in Richmond and then back home that evening. Blakey, a 40-year railroad veteran, was known for his non-traditional schedule, often stopping the train to let people on and off along the route. “He was known in the town to make unscheduled stops,” said living history interpreter Mark Wilcox. A steady rain couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm as children marveled at the magic of the train as several made regular trips through the
heart of Ashland during the celebration. There were plenty of indoor activities to provide respite from the rain, including model trains and other activities. Bill Gatewood of Train Day sponsor Main Street Ashland Association was camped out near the library, guiding kids in tothe seats of a railroad repair cart.

Now that the town is in the final stages of development, has set construction plans and will soon be advertising the project for bids for construction, the design and construction cost estimate has been increased to $762,311. Additional costs also have been added, including a 15 percent construction contingency. The total estimated cost for the project, including the contingency, bid phase and construction services and inspection and materials testing, now
sits at $950,000. VDOT’s Revenue Sharing Program Guidelines “provides additional funding for use by a county, city, or town to construct, reconstruct, improve or maintain the highway systems within such county, city or town and for eligible rural additions in certain counties of the commonwealth. Locality funds are matched, dollar for dollar, with state funds.” “So that’s what I’m asking for, that we can provide the local share to apply for revenue sharing funds in addition to our current project,” Davis said. “And that addition of local shares would be $125,000 and so that total project is listed at $950,000.

Gatewood said. “Being a railroad town, the event became more popular each year.� This year featured five locations with model trains, and Gatewood said there’s a natural relationship between Ashland and the railroad that provides the impetus for loyal supporters. “People are attracted to the railroad heritage, and we know that kids love trains and I think that’s why they come and remember this event each year,� Gatewood said. “The event got so big we just couldn’t staff it,� Gatewood said. “The Ashland Kiwanis Club stepped up and provides 95 percent of our support staff.� The club provides about 100 volunteers. CSX is a major sponsor of the event and provided train related goodies for the kids as well as safety tips for everyone.

Further down the tracks, The Hanover Arts and Activities Center was abuzz with activity as children viewed dozens of model train exhibits and even had a chance to pick a model engine and race it down the track. One of the exhibitors, modeler Danny Robertson, said it’s his second year at the event, but his dedication to trains and the models that accompany them, is much older. “I like the scenery,� he said.

When it’s sunny, we’d have 10,000,� Joyce said. He said the event is the result of the collaborated efforts of Main Street, the Kiwanis Club and many other agencies who support the event. “This is a day when we celebrate one of our community’s biggest assets — the train tracks,� Joyce said.

The concert will feature a special appearance by Justin Bieber, along with performances by Fifth Harmony, DNCE with Joe Jonas, Tori Kelly and Flo Rida, plus Nickelodeon stars. Ethan, 16, of Mechanicsville, discovered his passion for music at the age of 7 after picking up his first guitar. When his school cut music education due to a lack of funding, he combined his love for music and a drive to help others to create Music to My Ears, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to give every child a chance to learn how to play an instrument. Music to My Ears recruits skilled musicians from middle schools and high schools to teach free weekly music sessions to elementary school students. Ethan is responsible for organizing, scheduling and
planning the curriculum for these lessons. He also mentors and encourages students that have been in the program for more than three years to become teachers. Since the program’s initiation in 2009, Music to My Ears has expanded to four states and benefitted more than 110
students. Volunteers nationwide have spent 1,700 hours giving music lessons for instruments, including piano, saxophone, flute, violin, harp and guitar. Ethan continues to raise money to fund his organization and provide instruments see TEEN, pg. 23

Bieber’s involvement with Make-A-Wish -- the global organization that grants wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions -- has been longstanding. Since 2009, he has granted a wish at nearly every tour stop where he visits with wish kids and their families, takes photographs and signs autographs before they attend his concert. Over the last six years, he has granted more than 250 wishes for his fans.

services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy offers are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more. The National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists was founded on the
belief that we must identify prospective medical talent at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of this vital career. Based in Washington, D.C., and with offices in Boston, the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to the service of humanity as physicians and medical scientists.

R-MC defense traps Tigers in ‘The Game’ By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch ASHLAND — For the second year in a row, The Game Ball trophy is staying in Ashland. Eric Hoy sparked the Randolph-Macon offense early, JJ Hill had a pair of interceptions and a key pass breakup late, and the Yellow Jackets won The Game for the fourth time in five years with a 14-9 victory over Hampden-Sydney on Saturday at Day Field. The Yellow Jackets scored on their first offensive possession of the game. Hoy, a freshman listed as a wide receiver but who was also RandolphMacon’s second leading rusher entering Saturday, took direct snaps and led the offense quickly down the field. Quarterback Joe McBride ended the opening drive with a 2-yard roll out to put the home team up 7-0. Hoy said it was his blockers who made it possible. “Without them, there’s no success,” he said. Hill’s first interception came about three minutes later. He jumped Edgar Moore’s pass and returned it 31 yards for a touchdown, putting the Yellow Jackets up 14-0. His second came late in the third quarter when he got in front of a Tiger receiver on a fade in the corner of the end zone. Hill later broke up a pass

when the Tigers went for it on fourth down with a little more than two minutes left in the game. “I just listened to Coach and

Cheatham, Bazala help Hawks hammer Lions By Patrick Gordon Richmond Suburban News MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover High School won 47-28 over Louisa in their first round matchup but it may prove to be a costly win, with their star quarterback Clayton Cheatham facing a potential suspension in next week’s game against Dinwiddie. Cheatham was ejected with 1:03 remaining in the third quarter after his second penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct. The second penalty carried with it an automatic ejection as well as a suspension for the following game. Hanover has until the end of the week to appeal, but as of the time this edition went to press, Cheatham remained suspended for next Friday’s game, when Hanover will host Dinwiddie at 7:30 p.m. Before his ejection, Cheatham staked the secondseeded Hawks to a 40-21 lead over No. 7 Louisa. He ran the ball 21 times for 147 yards and four touchdowns, and went 7of-8 through the air for 88 yards and two more touchdowns. Sophomore wide receiver Jack Chenault was on the receiving end of both Cheatham passing scores, and finished with four

catches for 52 yards. Marcus Bazala, who replaced Cheatham for eight games earlier in the season when Cheatham was out with an ankle injury, finished the game at quarterback for Hanover. The senior, who started the game at running back, led the Hawks to a touchdown in his first drive helming the offense. In total, Bazala rushed 13 times for 95
yards and scored one touchdown. The game was still close at the half, with Hanover leading only 19-14. On the Hawks’ first play of the third quarter, Bazala ripped through the Lions’ defense for a 50-yard run, setting up a quick touchdown on the next play. On the ensuing Louisa drive, Hanover senior defensive
back Cole Bordonie intercepted a pass, killing any momentum the Lions may have had left. Tabb Patrick would also get an interception for the Hawks in the fourth quarter, but fumbled on the return, giving the ball back to Louisa. The Lions were led by sophomore running back Job Whalen, who racked up 145 yards on 26 carries. Fellow sophomore
Malik Bell ran 11 times for 33 yards and scored twice on the ground for Louisa. In addition to the pair of rushing scores, Bell threw and caught for one touchdown each. The Louisa offense featured several different players under
center. Three different players actually threw at least one pass, but there were direct snaps to several different players who ended up running the ball. Junior Jordan Cherry also see HAWKS, pg. 37

if we came out and executed our game plan like we wanted to that we would be able to run the ball and control the tempo,” Lee-Davis head coach Ryan Turnage said. “Our guys came in confident and played like we knew they were capable of.” Lee-Davis got after it early with Mummau quickly directing the offense on a 14-play, 70yard scoring drive on the opening possession. Evans capped off the long series with a 9-yard
touchdown run and staked the visitors to an early 7-0 lead. Not to be outdone by their counterparts, Lee-Davis’ defense immediately forced a three-and-out to give possession back to Mummau and the offense.

A guy got on my back and I threw him off, and Justin Hall made a great block for me. I’m grateful for him. He made a lot of great blocks tonight.” But the game wasn’t over. Tweedy and Coghill combined for a 47-yard touchdown pass with 51 seconds left. Blackman, however, did not let that stand.
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor STAFFORD – When Atlee most needed a big play, wide receiver Cole Blackman was there to deliver. Several times. The big wide receiver hauled in three Rasharrd Harris passes for touchdowns, including two in the final 2:21 of the game, to lead the tenth-seeded Raiders to a 38-35 upset of No. 7 Mountain View Friday night. The decider came with 6.6 seconds left after the Wildcats had just taken a 35-31 lead. Harris tossed a pass to the right corner of the end zone – a bit out of bounds – but Blackman stretched out his arms, snagging the ball as his feet touched the ground in bounds. Blackman said he wasn’t the only coming through when the team needed it. “The whole team made plays,” Blackman said. “We’ve gone through a lot of adversity this season. The coach keeps stressing that, ‘Adversity. Adversity. Adversity.’ I really liked that. “We’re down, 50 seconds left and, like, nobody believed in us, but we believed in us. Coach said, ‘Somebody’s got to step up,’ and I’ve always liked to come through. I stepped up, on a big time play. The linemen blocked well, the QB threw a good ball. It was crazy.” Blackman fell face first onto the turf. The referee took his time putting up his arms to signal the score until Blackman rolled over with the ball in his hands. “I was holding on to [the ball] for dear life. I was not letting go of that,” Blackman said. He was elated when he saw the referee’s arms go up. “That was the best feeling ever,” Blackman said. “That’s why we play football, for moments like that. It’s the great-

est game I’ve ever played in my life.” Blackman finished with five receptions for 177 yards. He also had two punt returns for 60 yards, one of which set up an Atlee touchdown. J.J. Givens topped Blackman in receiving yardage, with six
catches for 211 yards and two touchdowns. Harris completed 17 of 30 passes for 418 yards and all five Raider touchdowns. He also had one interception. The Raiders (7-4) began the game looking somewhat shaky, as the defense struggled to stop
the productive Mountain View offense. The Wildcats (7-4) took a 14-0 lead on a 2-yard run by Jamil Cofie in the first quarter and a 50-yard pass from Ahmad Tweedy to Tre’ Coghill mid-way through the second quarter. But Atlee gave itself a big boost in the last minute before halftime, when Harris connected with Givens for a 23-yard
score. The Raiders wasted little time after halftime tying the game on a 65-yard pass to Blackman to make it 14-0. But the defense could not keep Mountain View out of the end zone for long. Cofie scored on a another 2-yard run, and Atlee could only manage a 23yard field goal by Ethan Ratke in response as the Raiders fell behind 21-17. On the next Wildcat drive, however, the Raiders’ defense got the stop they needed, and Atlee took advantage of the opportunity with a 70-yard scoring toss from Harris to Givens at the end of the third quarter. All they had to do then was to hold on to their 24-21 lead. The defense held up for most of the fourth quarter, but finally buckled with 2:41 left in

Hanover improves to 8-2 and will host Dinwiddie, who beat Monacan 26-20 in their matchup. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Hanover High School. After the game, Hanover coaches were unsure of Cheatham’s exact status for the next game but are prepared to play without him, as they did for much of the season when he was injured. Still, it is a potentially huge blow to their team, as when he is present he is an integral part of their offense. Louisa finished its season with a 6-5 overall record.

Atlee boys earn return ticket to state tournament
0 run to open the second set, as the Raiders struggled with Godwin’s front row. “Before the second set, I told them they weren’t playing with a whole lot of energy and I
think that helped them pick it up a little bit,” Di Frischia said. The Eagles scored 20 points before the Raiders got to 10. The Raiders came back to make the third set close and had
their first lead since the first set. That wasn’t enough to fend off the Conference 11 champs. The Eagles advanced to the state tournament after losing in the first round of the conference
tournament last year. “It feels pretty good, the boys have planned to do this since they were eighth-graders and freshmen,” Di Frischia said. Atlee head boys volleyball
coach Nick Robinson said it wasn’t the best outing for the Raiders one night after an incredible rally in which they came back from the brink of elimination to win three straight and advance out of the quarterfinal. “We just looked tired,” Robinson said. “We looked like we had to come from way behind last night, which we did. We just couldn’t get it going.” While the Raiders did not advance to the regional championship game, they still clinched a berth in the Virginia High School League Group 5A state tournament. Robinson said the loss in the region semifinal was arguably a good thing. “Because of the way the postseason schedule works, you’re playing three games a week for a couple of weeks in a row. You don’t really have time to practice,” Robinson said. “The things that you need to work on, you don’t have time to work on because it’s either the day before or the day after a game or you’re playing games. “With this loss – we’re already in the state tournament – we get four days of practice before we have to play again, which is, I think the best thing that could happen for us.” Mechanicsville Local sports editor Dave Lawrence contributed to this report. Laura Fien can be reached at lfien@timesdispatch.com.
on the Rebels’ next possession and Mummau hurriedly went to work on stretching the lead. Mummau continued to find holes in the Freeman defense, finding sophomore Billy Kemp for a 33-yard gain and then senior tight end Samuel Tanner for an 11-yard gain. Evans added his third rushing touchdown of the half to finish the drive, pushing Lee-Davis to a
21-0 advantage. After Freeman (9-2) was able to cut into the deficit with a 1-yard scoring rush by Ned Mize, Lee-Davis responded with its fourth touchdown in as many chances. Mummau found a streaking Miles Johnson for a 20-yard touchdown pass for a 28-7 halftime lead. Evans added his fourth and final score of the game just five
plays into Lee-Davis’ first possession of the second half. Mummau was quick to give credit to both his offensive line and his star running back. “Our offensive line came to play tonight and we owe it all to the big guys up front,” he said. “Nathan Evans was incredible and our defense held strong throughout the game. All credit belongs to my team-
mates and the preparation by our coaches.” Freeman head coach Ryan Henderson was disappointed with the loss but acknowledged how successful of a year his team had. “We don’t feel too good right now, losing two games to end the season after starting so well, but considering where we were at the beginning of
the year I’m super proud of my guys,” he said. “I love this team and we made the most out of what we had all year. Hats off to Lee-Davis, they played a great game.” The Confederates’ second-round game at Highland Springs will begin at 7 p.m. Friday. Jacob Downer can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.
By Laura Fien Richmond Times-Dispatch CHESTERFIELD – The Mills Godwin boys volleyball team cruised past a tough Atlee squad as the Eagles defeated the Raiders 25-21, 25-13, 25-22 at Meadowbrook High School. It’s the first time both teams head to the state tournament in the same season. This is the furthest the boys team has ever gone. “Atlee is great competition and we love their guys, but that is what we were hoping to do, defeat Atlee in three sets,” said Godwin boys coach Whitney Di Frischia. “We plan to come in here and do our jobs well, and if we do our jobs well, we should be able to beat everybody.” Blocking, great passing and dominant hitting led to the Eagles’ victory. “I think we have a good chance to go into the finals and take the finals,” said Di Frischia. “The boys are really coming together really well, and they’re starting to work together really well and I think just the fact they can trust each other to do their jobs well takes care of it for us.” But the first set wasn’t easy for the Eagles. It was tied nine times, and before Godwin took the set, Atlee had a four-point lead. The Eagles went on a 5-

R-MC stumbles against Eagles in season opener By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch ASHLAND – Mary Washington came out firing and never let up. The Eagles shot over 50 percent from the field and spoiled Josh Merkel’s debut as head coach of the Yellow Jackets with an 83-66 win on Sunday at Crenshaw Gym. TJ Jones scored 26 points, John Lutkenhaus (Douglas Freeman) added 15 and Mary Washington recorded 16 assists on 33 made field goals to win their season opener. Lamont Moore led the Yellow Jackets with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Jamie Wilson added 10 points and was the only other Yellow Jacket to score in double figures. The Eagle guards were able to penetrate the RandolphMacon defense throughout the game, leading to layups or open shots from players well-spaced on the perimeter. Mary Washington knocked down four 3-pointers in their first five possessions, but Randolph-Macon kept the score close with solid offense of their own, and went into halftime down 42-35.

ond half. They knocked down nine of their 20 3-pointers. Defensively, they made stops when they had to. The same could not be said for the Yellow Jacket defense. “Poor individual defense. Poor team defense. We didn’t play with a sense of urgency. We didn’t challenge the pass. We didn’t have active hands. We were not covering for each other and I thought they made some tough ones early, and instead of doing things with a higher sense of urgency, we were a little deflated,” Merkel said. “We didn’t handle that well. “It’s a long season and we’ve been working on our defensive habits and we’re going to continue to work every day. It’s a process. We’ve seen improvement. We’re going to continue to see improvement. We need to see it quicker, with a higher sense of urgency, right away.” Merkel claimed responsibility and vowed improvement going forward. “This whole thing starts with me not having our guys ready to go and ready to play tougher with a higher sense of urgency,” he said. “We’re going to make sure we have that moving forward.” Brad Bess can be reached at bbess@timesdispatch.com.

Suliman outruns field in 5A cross country race
Seyoum, who beat Suliman at the MileStat.com Invitational on Oct. 17, to stay on his heels. What he got instead was a 15second lead. “I don’t know what got into him, but when that gun went off, he went out and established a lead pretty early. He never looked back and showed no signs of fading,” Reutinger said. “I think we’ve always known how talented he is and what his upside can be, and I think today we saw just how tough he can be.” Suliman battled powerful bursts of wind while leading the race, taking on the brunt of the impact from the gusts. With cold air filling his lungs and his legs growing more and more tired by the minute, he worried he would lose his lead even with the end in sight. “I was looking behind me. I was scared of Fitsum. I didn’t want him to come and catch
me,” he said. Suliman, just a year and a half after immigrating to the U.S. from Jordan and joining the Freeman cross country team, took his trophy as the unlikeliest of champions. He took a moment after the race to savor his journey. “Last season, nobody thought I would be good at running or anything. Nobody knew me,” Suliman said. “Right now, here I am, showing up from nowhere.” Deep Run junior Bashir Mosavel-Lo was seventh in the
race after a full-on sprint to the finish. Glen Allen senior Zack Witt followed with his own sprint and was 11th, leading the Jaguars to a fourth-place finish. Patrick Henry’s Grant Davis just missed earning all-state honors, coming in at 17th place, not far ahead of Atlee’s Connor Moses, who finished 22nd. Both Davis and Moses did some pushing down the stretch to overtake others in their pack before crossing the finish line – despite the final hill and headwind. “Apparently I had something
left,” Davis said. “My coach and my dad were yelling at me to push even harder and just not care anymore and go.” Davis edged Glen Allen’s Austin Story and Thomas Jefferson-Alexandria’s Nate Foss, all of whom posted a 16:41 time. Two other runners, Stafford’s Duke DiEugenio and Thomas Edison’s Yared Mekonnen were on their heels in 16:42. Moses overtook Menchville’s Matthew Arnold to finish in 16:44, with Arnold coming in at 16:45. Moses said he wasn’t daunted by the hills and wind.
“After [Panorama Farms in] Albemarle last week, in regionals, I knew I had it in me to just do it. I just didn’t give up. I kept pushing,” Moses said. “I’m not the happiest with my time, but it was a good race. It was definitely a real tough race.” Lee-Davis Jack Ikenberry came in 39th in 17:15. He was not happy with his performance. “After the first 400 meters, I just had nothing,” Ikenberry said. “I felt like my legs just didn’t have anything.” Henrico senior Ashley Brown and Glen Allen junior Rebecca Fagan finished sixth and seventh in the 5A girls race. Deep Run was fourth as a team, with freshman Lily Snow and junior Margot Brown taking 12th and 13th. Atlee’s Caitlin Donovan finished 17th in 19:49. While she would have liked to finish higher, the time was her best in a season in which she has been recovering from some health issues. “I’m starting to feel a lot better,” Donovan said. “I’m really happy with my race. … I gave it all I had.” Atlee’s girls finished 10th in the 5A team standings.

nant performance in Galloway, amassing 63 kills, 42 digs and 20 blocks in the Yellow Jackets’ three matches, which includes a 22-25, 25-23, 25-19, 25-12 victory over Stevenson in the region quarterfinal and a 12-25, 25-18, 25-22, 20-25, 15-13 victory over Christopher Newport in the semifinal. She earned the region’s Most Outstanding Player honor for her effort. The outside hitter had a great tour-
nament despite defenses trying to key on her. “If they key on me, that opens it up for Katie [Rossberg] or our middles or anybody else,” Lowers said. “So we just try to hit around the block, try and do different shots. I talk to my setters and different things like that and make it a team effort.” Rossberg had 16 kills and seven digs in the region final,
finishing with 46 kills and 41 digs overall. Lowers extended her Randolph-Macon single-season kill record to 494, and her school career record to 1,455. Rossberg now has 349 kills this season, the seventh highest in program history, and is now ninth on the Yellow Jackets’ career list with 1,040. The other Yellow Jackets contributed their share. Setter
Erin Quinn compiled 66 assists and Riley Martin added 49 of her own during the regional tournament. Quinn’s 680 assists this season are the eighth highest in program history, and the sophomore’s 1,145 career assists have her 10th on Randolph-Macon’s all-time list. Martin is fifth on the Yellow Jacket’s all-time list with 1,934. Libero Samantha Sallade
finished with 63 assists during the tournament. Her 595 so far this season is a school record. She is eighth on the Yellow Jackets’ career list with 1,063. Lowers is looking forward to Grand Rapids. “We’re going to go out, have fun, and keep playing our game,” she said. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch THE PLAINS – Douglas Freeman junior runner Waleed Suliman had his plan set and ready. Stick around his competition and make his move toward victory at the end. But as soon as the starting gun was triggered, Suliman abandoned his plan. He launched to the front, deviating completely from what he normally does and what he and Rebels coach Brian Reutinger had discussed the entire week leading up to the race. The result? Winning the Group 5A state cross country title, with time to spare. Friday’s races at Great Meadow Park in The Plains featured the Group 4A, 5A and 6A championships. Suliman claimed the only title for Richmond, finishing his race in 15:41 and completing his postseason trifecta of wins. He is the first Freeman runner to win an individual state title since Scott Eden in 1970. He called his early aggressiveness a “mistake,” saying there is usually one runner he lets jump ahead because they tire out more quickly. When nobody made that jump, he did. What he expected was for the other top runner in the field, Tuscarora senior Fitsum

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, keep your eye on the prize, resisting the temptation to get swept up in distractions. The longer you can maintain your focus this week, the more likely you are to be successful.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Other people appreciate your ability to put a positive spin on things, Leo. Use that talent to help two friends overcome their differences in the next week.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Luck puts you in the path of someone you have been anxious to meet, Gemini. Use this opportunity this week to ask all the questions you have been wanting to ask.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Keep an open mind when someone comes to you with a suggestion, Virgo. Even though you are quick to dismiss it outright, give it a second thought.
