OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Transparency: that’s the word for new year With the start of a new year comes expectations on the part of the citizenry and the work of those elected or appointed to office.

For 2016, we have chosen the word transparency to represent our role in coverage. If we don’t consider governmental meetings to be as open in how they’re being conducted and as accessible as they should be in maintaining their minutes/records, then we will address and investigate those issues.

When we receive phone calls and emails from concerned residents, we must take them seriously and delve into what the facts are and, by the same token, are not.

Sometimes public figures seem to forget the territory they entered when they accepted the responsibilities that go with being in the forefront.

Those of us in the media join in that public eye category. Yes, we too are sort of like open books and targets for criticism.

Those who choose to serve in elected office must always be mindful of the higher standard to which they are being held by their constituents.

Their lives and comments may become fodder for bloggers, etc.

Those of us who call ourselves journalists also will put on the record our thoughts and opinions of the actions of our elected/appointed leaders.

Allegations and accusations fly around our county at times. If you have proof of wrongdoing, report it — but make sure you can back it up. We’ll listen and determine whether there is a story to pursue.

Again, with a new year we have a goal to ensure that transparency is the way our government operates. We aren’t pointing any fingers — yet — but we are watching.

Those who serve also are welcome to contact us, offer their opinions, share their challenges and aspirations, and know that our door is always open for them. The same goes for our Hanover County neighbors. You are invited to come by our offices at 8460 Times-Dispatch Blvd.

To sum this up, our advice as we move into 2016 is simple: Keep it all above board and we won’t have an issue. Otherwise, you’ll be seeing and hearing from us more than may like.

The advantage of this writing

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist After thousands of printed words and countless columns, I still have something to say as we say goodbye to 2015 and usher in 2016.

This week’s routine reading has been filled with various columnists offering their reflections on the past year, many of them highlighting the top stories of the year in order of importance.

Rather than produce a less detailed and certainly less informed overview highlighting the past year’s top stories, a recap of what and who I’ve writ-

ten about over 52 weeks of columns seemed more enlightened.

As a news editor, reporter and photographer, I often had the misconception that columnists had the easiest job in the building. In reality, telling stories that people want to read is not as easy as it looks. I quickly learned that writing a readable column requires constant attention.

But, it also has its advantages.

Exploring new subjects and studying opposing points of view allows a unique insight into a variety of subjects. As a journalist, it exposes to me the hundreds of important stories

and issues, all of them newsworthy and worth so much more than just a column.

I’ve explored places forgotten, people who live extraordinary lives in the seclusion of their communities, human emotions, including love, happiness, despair, grief and more.

I’ve written about my family, your family, our community and our nation, all told with an aspired amount of humility and candor.

There were heroes and villains, volunteers and violators — everything from fruit stand operators to just plain see WRITING, pg. 8

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. Hoby, 425986, is a 1½ year-old male neutered pit bull. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative.

Hoby was surrendered to the shelter last month. He has lots of playful energy and gets along with dogs and cats. Hoby also has experience with children.

He might do best with an owner who can let him run and play. Augustus, 423610, is a (estimated) 2-year-old male neutered domestic short-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Augustus has been at the shelter since November. He is a nice cat that loves to lounge and observe. He is friendly towards adults, but, for some reason, does not care for children. For that reason, Augustus would do best in a household with no children. 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 804-365-6485 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/.

GPA issue worth pursuing I found Bruce Bowen’s letter regarding the Hanover County School Board’s consideration of a 2.0 minimum GPA (grade point average) requirement for student athletes (Dec. 30, 2015) very disturbing.

While I can agree with him on some level that requiring a minimum of a “C” might be a worthy idea for graduation, I strongly believe that all student athletes should be held to a higher standard.

These are students who, by their own choice (with perhaps extra encouragement from parents) have opted to dedicate a great deal of personal time not to their studies, but to a very positive and worthwhile endeavor – competitive sports.

Many are very talented, and could possibly parlay their

fruits, all of them with a story worth telling.

And the question I get most often regarding my column is: Where do you come up with the ideas each week?

The honest answer is I don’t know. My children often ask me why I always take notes.

In an explanation that never seems to hit the exact target, I tell them I’m getting information for a future column.

Twenty years ago, I began writing a column called “America, My kind of place,” and have continued in one form or another every week since its first run. I consider its longevity a compliment to its content.

Over those years, I’ve encountered thousands of wonderful people, all of them

athletic experience and prowess into a college scholarship – especially if they are truly academically ready for college.

They represent their school around the area and the state, and are often seen as leaders among their peers.

For all of these reasons, it is fitting to hold them to a minimum standard of maintaining an overall “C” average to compete.

Representation of the school on the field is indeed a privilege, not a right.

I am concerned that if we do not hold them to this standard, the message we send is “academics doesn’t matter as long as you’re good at sports.”

Perhaps, as Bowen says, there should be some consideration of this requirement for all performing groups that compete outside of their own school (show choir, concert band, etc.)

As a former college professor of 11 years, I have seen poorly-prepared high school athletes founder in college and lose their scholarships.

What happens when Plan B doesn’t hold up after Plan A (a professional sports/performing career) has already failed?

Dr. Bradley K. Norwood Mechanicsville

supplying information for a future column, a fact often oblivious to the interviewer and interviewee.

Where do I get the inspiration for my columns?

Anywhere … everywhere.

Being lucky enough to write about life affords an author an infinite supply of subject matter.

Sometimes, it all runs together, but — looking back at the past 12 months — I immediately think of the passing of ESPN analyst Stuart Scott and his inspirational story, the enormous impact of Robbin Thompson’s passing on our region, the immeasurable courage of a young woman fighting a terminal disease and playing her last basketball game and the relationship of a local football team and a young boy with Multiple Dystrophy who hap-

pens to be my son.

And the canvas is once again blank, and waiting for the next list of important entries in a personal journal. They’re the stories still waiting to be told, the heroic acts yet to take place or the important issues that surely will arise during the next twelve months.

Hopefully, I’ll fill that canvas with commentary that is important to you — stories about your family, my family, our hopes and fears, loves and hates all neatly bundled in weekly doses.

So, as 2016 comes in with a roar, I’ll remember what I’ve known for many of the previous new years. It’s the people you love and the people who love you that make life special.

And life itself … well, that’s always worth a column.

Happy New Year!

Academics should be No. 1 I’m often confounded by the hullabaloo about policies that just seem like common sense to me. Here’s another great one.

Mr. Bruce Bowen and others seem to think that requiring a 2.0 GPA (grade point average) (that is, a C average) for Hanover County students to participate in sports puts undue and unfair loads upon the weak shoulders of our youth. I say that position itself is a load of a different sort.

College athletics may have almost completely divorced itself from the seemingly antiquated notion of education but I see no reason for our public see LETTERS, pg. 19

Bloomsburg students give time to help build houses Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — While some college students spend their winter breaks at home relaxing with family, skiing, shopping and hanging out with friends, others are opting for an alternative winter break where they spent a week engaging in organized volunteer work right here in Hanover County.

Foley returns to council Former member takes interim post until special election

By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND – A familiar face is stepping in as a member of Ashland Town Council following the resignation of Faye O. Prichard.

James Foley, a pricing director for Hunton & Williams LLP, was nominated and unanimously elected to serve as interim council member until the special election set for May. He previously served on town council.

He fills the vacancy created by Prichard’s election on Nov. 3 to represent the Ashland District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

Five applications were received for the interim council member position.

Three applicants were interviewed and two

withdrew their applications before the interview process, Mayor George Spagna said.

Prior to Foley’s nomination and subsequent election, Spagna said that, in his mind, council was looking for someone “who had an involveFOLEY ment with the Town of Ashland,” and “could articulate that they cared about the town.”

Following Foley’s appointment, council Meredith Rigsby/The Local members approved a special election resolu- Outgoing council member Faye O. Prichard receives her official Resignation Resolution from see FOLEY, pg. 17

The topic of this year’s contest is “Rotary’s Four Way Test and What It Means to the Conduct of my Daily Life.”

The Rotary 4-Way Test consists of 24 words that can help us create an attitude and atmosphere in which to better relate, share, and implement ideas. These four questions encourage us to apply principles of truth, justice and caring regard for our neighbors in our relationships with each other. The 4-Way Test asks us to consider these four questions when making decisions about what we think, say or do” see ESSAY, pg. 24

schools to do so. Academics should be the number one priority.

I’m sure the logic for the GPA requirement is (or at least should be) that any student unable to adequately perform academically should not be distracted by the demands of extracurricular activities. And, yes, I do think this should also apply to any other school-sponsored activities that require the same investment of time from students.

I am baffled as to why so many people are adamantly in favor of lowering the bar for our children’s education.

Do we really want to produce young men and women who can’t write or speak clearly but can claim bragging rights for that game-winning touchdown back in high school?

Which would serve them better in life?

lesson including the Islamic statement of faith is no big deal. Ms. Ryan seems to feel it would be ridiculous to think that a student would be “willing to throw off all that they have been taught up to that point and embrace a new world view…” That is the issue: What have these children been taught? Have they been allowed to study Christianity and passages from the Bible in this class? I seriously doubt it.

What bothers me about this editorial is that Ms. Ryan isn’t giving respect to religion — Islam or Christianity.

To a large portion of the world religion is important; religion is meaningful.

The teacher in Augusta County asked the students to copy the Islamic statement of faith.

If my very basic understanding of Islam is correct there are five Pillars (or basic acts) that all believers of Islam must do.

The first Pillar is to recite

their creed or shahadah. It is the shahadah that the teacher wanted her students to copy.

This creed is at the foundation of Islamic belief.

All I ask is that each United States citizen takes the time to compare and contrast Islam to Christianity.

The United States was founded on Christian beliefs.

People who live in the United States reap the benefits of those Christian principles.

I haven’t heard of many people moving to the Middle East where their society is built on the beliefs of Islam.

Respect religion; whether it is your religion or not it should still be taken seriously. Religion has the ability to impact lives forever.

stole the Trump sign from my front yard sometime between Saturday night and early Sunday morning (Jan. 2-3), I just want to let you know that the sign was replaced by an identical sign that same morning, but in a more conspicuous spot.

I also ordered more signs.

To tell the truth, I was reluctant to place a Trump sign in my yard since, figuratively speaking, Trump has a lot of warts, moles and blem-

ishes. But when it comes to the issues, I think he is the best candidate.

Just know that you were successful in turning a reluctant Trump supporter into a determined Trump supporter.

I suggest you busy yourself stealing more Trump signs throughout Hanover County!

Donald Trump can use the support.

Responding to editorial I would like to respond to Roslyn Ryan’s editorial “Restrictions on learning?”

Ms. Ryan starts her editorial by insinuating that the parents in Augusta County have no common sense. I applaud the parents of Augusta County for being involved with their children’s education and attempting to protect their children from a one-sided discussion of religion from a foreign country.

Ms. Ryan moves on to underestimating students’ willingness to learn and their ability to listen to a teacher’s lesson and retain that information.

Students can mull over information, compare it to new facts they learn and decide if they agree with what they have been taught.

Thus, I disagree that one

The effects of these storms can include power outages, downed trees and tree branches, blocked roadways, and bro-

ken water pipes. Power outages may last for several days and residents may also find themselves housebound.

Winterizing homes is a good first step in preparing for colder months when living in an area where snow, ice, and low temperatures are common.

Make sure that your home is well insulated and that water lines are protected from freezing. Power outages are likely during winter storms and precaution should be taken to be ready for extended periods without electricity and heat sources, light sources, food, and water.

TIPS Continued from pg. 24

For livestock and horses, it is important to make sure that they have access to shelter, food, and water,” said Michael Martin, Virginia Cooperative Extension emergency response and preparedness coordinator.

“The risk of frozen water in buckets and troughs is high in winter and must be monitored regularly,” he said.

“In addition, access to grazing may be hindered if grazing land is covered in snow or ice.

Supplemental feeding of hay may be necessary for a period of time,” Martin added.

Keep an emergency supply

kit handy which will provide your family, pets, and livestock with at least three days of food and water provisions.

Winter storms can last for several days, so provisions for more than three days is recommended.

Below are some other simple tips to remember in the case of a winter storm.

ensuring food and water is available for at least three days for family members pets; keeping extra clothing, blankets, and sleeping bags on hand; keeping a battery, crank, or solar-powered weather radio on hand; insulating any exposed water pipes to help prevent freezing; developing a family communications plan; conserving heat by closing off unused rooms in your home; installing a battery powered carbon monoxide detec-

Patriots sweep Lee-Davis in doubleheader

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – Patrick Henry made the best use of its home court advantage in a doubleheader against Lee-Davis Friday night, winning the boys game 45-36 and the girls game 50-41.

In both games, the Confederates had their chances, but mid-game swoons proved costly as they fell behind and struggled to catch up down the stretch.

In the boys’ case, Lee-Davis’ top two scorers, Irving Jones and Billy Kemp, got into early foul trouble which rattled the Confederate offense. After picking up three fouls by early in the second quarter, Jones spent five minutes on the bench.

“It definitely derails [the offense] when you don’t have your starter out there,” said LeeDavis boys head coach Chad Bishop. “We played a little catchup and tried to do a [few] too many things that we shouldn’t have been doing.”

The Confederates, after taking a 12-7 lead in the first quarter, yielded to a 16-all halftime lead.

Patrick Henry held the advantage the rest of the way.

“It was a great win, something that we needed,” said Patrick Henry boys head coach Randy Anderson. “We talked about the second half of the season, we’ve got to make every sin-

Hanover boys get by Atlee in scrappy contest

By Danny Polk For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – It was everything rivalry night was supposed to be. Big crowds, lead changes, controversy, adversity: Friday night’s Atlee at Hanover basketball game had it all.

The Hawks emerged 86-80 in an offensive shootout that saw emotions running as high as the numbers on the scoreboard.

“I’m very proud of our guys,” said Hanover head coach Darren Thornton said. “We had to go against a lot of adversity.

That was a mentally tough win tonight.”

Atlee controlled the opening minutes of the game, slowing down the Hawks’ fast-paced tempo. That cadence was broken with two minutes left in the first quarter as Hanover sophomore Jason Wade split the Atlee defense for two dunks.

“He really lifts the guys up when he puts his mind to it,” Thornton said. “He is our leader, so we feed off him a lot.”

Following the dunks, the Hawks fell into a full-court press with success, closing the first quarter with a lead behind a 17-6 run.

“I thought our defense got after it,” Thornton said. “That’s the piece that we keep preaching and keep trying to sharpen up.”

But as swiftly as Wade’s dunks and Hanover’s momentum came, it escaped – at the

Hanover’s Jason Wade gets a big dunk against Atlee in the Hawks’ hard-fought 86-80 victory over the Raiders Friday.

hands of Wade’s third foul, which came early in the second quarter. Atlee senior Robert Jenkins scored eight secondquarter points as the Raiders entered the locker room down four points.

A pair of Ryan Payne 3pointers helped extend the Hanover lead to eight entering the final eight minutes, as Wade was forced to the bench with his fourth foul.

“We know a lot of teams want to take [Wade] out of the game – try to isolate him try to get him away from things

because he’s such a great player,” Thornton said.

The Raiders entered into a full-court press to start the fourth quarter, which Hanover struggled to beat. The Hawks’ lead was erased as Atlee’s Carson Miller drained a 3-pointer to tie the game at 65.

With just under three minutes to play, Wade, who had been playing cautiously with four fouls, picked up his fifth on what the Hanover bench argued to be a clean block.

Then the Hawks turned to Alan Dabney.

Dabney tallied 15 of his 34 points in the fourth-quarter as he controlled the paint, and the game, in crunch time. The Hawk senior went 10 for 11 from the free-throw line down the stretch.

“My team put trust in me,” Dabney said. “They gave me the ball, so I just had to finish the job – I’m a senior.”

“It was big for other guys to step up once Jason fouled out,” Thornton said. “That’s something we had to find out about our team.”

With the Hawks leading by three with one minute to play, Atlee head coach Philip

Lee-Davis regained its footing late in the quarter and traded baskets with the Patriots the rest of the half.

During intermission Patrick Henry made some defensive adjustments. Adjusted strategies and scrappy execution put a chokehold on the Confederates’ offense for much of the third

quarter as the Patriots pulled out to a 42-26 lead.

“Coming in, we had a feeling it was going to play out like this,” said Patrick Henry girls head coach Phillip Cobb.

What they needed to do was to slow down Lee-Davis guard Whitney Hopson.

“She’s a big-time player,”

Cobb said of Hopson. “She’s super, super quick and she can shoot the ball. So we had to address our attention on her.”

The Patriots slowed her down, but could not her entirely.

Hopson finished with 15 points and five steals on the evening.

But the rest of the Confederates proved pretty

Reynolds attempted to call timeout before Hanover’s fullcourt trap forced a turnover, but the official did not grant it.

Hanover would go on to ice the game at the free throw line.

Hanover moved to 7-7 with the win, while Atlee fell to 47. Jenkins and Andrew Dages finished with 24 and 18 points, respectively, for the Raiders, while Wade and Payne each added 15 points for Hanover.

On the girls’ side, Atlee topped Hanover 67-48. The Raiders, who battled injuries and illnesses in the first half of the season, improved to 3-10 behind a roster at full-strength.

“We executed today to a degree that I was happy with,” said Atlee head coach Michael Rawlings.

Atlee’s Ashley Weaver scored 15 points in her first game back since nursing an injury. Alyse Armentrout led all scorers with 22 points for the Raiders.

“Injury and illness have devastated our team, but we make no excuses,” Rawlings said. “I think we will turn it around. By the end of the season we should reach our potential.”

Hanover will play at Atlee on January 29.

scrappy as well, and outscored the Patriots 15-8 in the fourth quarter to close the gap.

“I’m proud of them” said Lee-Davis girls head coach Alvin Puller. “On paper, [Patrick Henry’s] probably much better than we are. … We just come out and play hard, play aggressive.”

Patrick Henry was led by Aryna Taylor with 23 points, eight assists and six steals. Shea Burch finished with 11 points.

Austin Merrill finished with 12 points and eight rebounds for Lee-Davis.

Springers find way to stop Wade, Hanover

By Arthur Utley For the Times-Dispatch HIGHLAND SPRINGS – The often guard-oriented, outside shooting Highland Springs boys basketball team has good reason to go inside this season.

A true space-eater at 6-7, 280 pounds, Mekhi Becton scored 14 points on the low post to lead the Springers to a 62-50 victory over the Hanover Hawks Tuesday night at Highland Springs.

Becton, a sought-after offensive lineman, is rounding into basketball shape after helping Highland Springs win the 5A state football championship in early December.

A number of Becton’s field goals came off passes from Nathaniel Pollard in the high post. Becton fouled out with 5:07 left in the game, but Pollard scored eight of his 11 points in the second half.

“We just executed and things worked out,” said Pollard, whose sister Najai is starting at Delaware State after starring for the Springers’ girls team a year ago. The two stay in touch with how the other is doing.

P. Kevin Morley/Times-Dispatch

Highland Springs’ Nathaniel Pollard (left) and Hanover’s Alan Dabney grapple for a rebound in the Springers’s 52-50 win on Jan. 5.

Joshua Walton added 12 points for led 14-7 after the first quarter and built a 13-point lead in the second quarter, but the Hawks (5-6) battled back to trail by six in the fourth quarter.

Veteran Highland Springs coach George Lancaster opines that Hanover standouts Alan Dabney (21 points) and Jason Wade (11 points) could be the best guard-forward, one-two punch around.

Wade’s father, Ronnie, was The Times-Dispatch player of the year in 1982 after leading Marshall-Walker to the Group AAA state championship.

Ronnie Wade went on to play at Old Dominion University.

The Springers’ 2-3 zone was effective against the Hawks who have scored 80 or more points in five games.

“You want to try to keep Wade from penetrating. I don’t know if we did it or not, but

that was our main concentration, and then we have good size so we can protect the basket,” Lancaster said. “We want to utilize our assets.”

Neither team shot well from the foul line. The Hawks missed 13 free throws; the Springers missed 11. The frequent trips to the charity stripe kept the game from getting into a smooth flow.

The victory put Lancaster two away from 700 for his distinguished career.

“Each night we get a little bit better because we have our parts coming back. Dionavan Ramseur was our leading scorer from JV and broke his collarbone during a scrimmage so this was his first night back,” Lancaster said. Ramseur scored eight points against the Hawks.

“Arthur Radford played football and he’s going to be a good player for us because he’s an athlete.”

Hawks coach Darren Thornton said his team had opportunities to win the game.

“There’re some things we have to sharpen up on.

Definitely free throws and keep on improving on our defense.”

L-D wrestlers put down conference competition

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – After the first day of the Conference 11 duals Saturday, Glen Allen and Lee-Davis established themselves as the two top teams in the league.

So, by the time the two teams met on the second day of the duals Wednesday at LeeDavis High School, both the Jaguars and Confederates had a lot on the line: bragging rights for now, but more important, top seeding in the conference

34

post-season tournament in February.

Glen Allen won the first match of their meeting, a decision in favor of Glen Allen’s Blake Mazenic in a 113-pound match. But Lee-Davis, sparked by a pin by its 120 pounder Hayden Keener, won seven of the next 10 matches – six of them by pin – to claim the a 48-29 victory.

The Confederates – with seven total pins of the Jaguars – finished 7-0 over the two days of wrestling, with four individuals able to secure the top seed in

The Mechanicsville Local

January 13, 2016

the postseason conference tournament by going 7-0 as well: Keener at 120 pounds, Jonathon Conrad at 145 pounds, Austin Tingle at 160 pounds and Ned Anthony at 182 pounds.

“We knew they were probably going to be our toughest match,” said Lee-Davis head coach Craig Spruill. “We didn’t really match up well with them, or they didn’t match up well with us, I guess. Some of their guys were really tough, and some of their guys were weaker guys who ran into our better guys. It was kind of a weird

match.”

The mismatch seems more evident when comparing how the two teams performed against J.R. Tucker Wednesday night. The Confederates barely edged the Tigers 42-32, while the Jaguars won by a 42-22 margin.

“That was a tough battle,” Spruill said. “We had one not go our way – a kid got hurt. It was against us and that was a big swing in points. So that made it a little bit closer than it should have been.

Lee-Davis began the night

against Tucker. Glen Allen finished against the Tigers and could have finished tied with Tucker at 5-2 if the Jaguars had not come out on top at the end.

Glen Allen head coach Don Ooton said the Jaguars might have finished the evening on top had they been more intense in the match against Lee-Davis.

“I feel like we kind of wrestled a little flat and didn’t necessarily do everything we could do to win,” Ooton said. “We see them again in a couple of weeks and hopefully it will be a different story then. We’ll definitely

be more prepared.”

Glen Allen also had four 70 winners over the course of see DOWN, pg. 35

Local swimmers make waves at Kecoughtan meet

kids don’t have any pressure,” said Lee-Davis head coach Stuart Bernstein. “They get to pick what they want to swim after qualifying for it, and they can enjoy themselves without worrying about beating an opponent or worrying about a championship.”

But the business of the meet was never far from anyone’s mind, either.

“At this meet I try to get state

cuts,” said Atlee head coach Karen Seeber. “That gives us a little bit of availability to move [swimmers] around for conferences and regionals because once you get your state cut, you’re set for states.”

The ability to move swimmers around in conference and regional meets helps coaches get additional swimmers qualified for state tournaments.

Many swimmers improved

upon past benchmarks.

“It went well,” said Patrick Henry head coach Bob Flanagan. “We had a good number of best times.”

Schubert was the big county winner of the day, with wins in the boys 100-yard butterfly and the 100 backstroke. He broke his own record of 49.75 seconds in the 100 backstroke set lat year with a 49.67 finish.

Hanover’s Patrick Townsend

finished right behind Schubert in the 100 butterfly and was third in the 100 backstroke.

Atlee’s Sonora Baker finished first in the girls 200 freestyle and third in the 100 backstroke.

Lee-Davis’ Sara Gaston finished second in both the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle.

Shubert and Townsend both qualified for their respective state meets in both of their events.

More important for the swimmers than wins and records was making cuts for their respective regional or state meets.

Lee-Davis’ Brendan Farrar qualified in the boys 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle, with brother and teammate Austin Farrar also qualifying for states in the 500. Patrick Henry’s Scotty Mizelle also qualified for states in both events.

Hanover’s boys 200-yard medley relay team of Garrett Gauntt, Jonathan Moss, Townsend and Seth Gulas likewise turned in state-qualifying times.

Lee-Davis’ girls had a number of state-qualifying cuts, with Gaston making the grade in the 200 and 500 freestyles as well as in the 400 freestyle relay (with Lacey Kramer, Morgan Boyle and Hannah Ikenberry).

Moore scored his 19 on 7of-13 shooting from the field.

He hit two of his five 3-point attempts and knocked down 3 of his 4 free throw tries. Taylor added 15 points while Darryl Williams and Silverthorn each finished with 10.

Duncan led the Tigers with 16 points, including four 3pointers. Andrew Evans added 14.

Mike Murray, who entered the game with 994 career points, reached the 1,000-point plateau with a 3-pointer late in the first

half. He finished with seven points.

Randolph-Macon led by as many as 16 in the first half and took a 42-29 lead into halftime, a result of hot shooting and effective defense.

“We were ready to go,” said Moore. “We’ve been preparing all week and we’ve been looking good in practice, especially defensively. I think we’ve taken steps defensively and it carried over into tonight.”

Yellow Jackets coach Josh Merkel said he was pleased with

his team’s defense in the first half, aside from giving up shots from behind the arc. RandolphMacon forced 10 Tigers turnovers and shot 54.8 percent, but allowed the visitors to make six of their 12 3-point attempts.

They hit their fair share, at one point scoring 12 straight on four 3-pointers, and credited Hampden-Sydney’s offensive sets, but Merkel said they need to improve getting out to shooters after the defense collapses.

“Hampden-Sydney runs a bunch of different things and

give them a lot of credit, they were good offensively, a lot of different weapons and great shooters from the arc so they put a lot of pressure on us,” he said. “We’ve got to do a better job of guarding the arc, but we’re getting better at the defensive end.”

On offense, RandolphMacon cooled a little in the second half after the blistering start, but still finished shooting 50.9 percent. It made 11 of its 29 3-point attempts, while the Tigers made 11 of their 26

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor NEWPORT NEWS – The Kecoughtan Invitational was a tougher meet to get into this year, with faster qualifying times and only one relay team per event per school allowed.

But even with the stiffer requirements, all four county schools sent solid contingents who made their presence felt when the 27 participating teams gathered at BrittinghamMidtown Aquatic Center Saturday.

Lee-Davis and Atlee’s girls teams swam to top-10 finishes – both despite missing two of their big guns, Lee-Davis’ Molly Sheffield and Atlee’s Olivia Fisher, who were participating in a USA Swimming event in Texas – with the Confederates coming in seventh and the Raiders coming in tenth. On the boys’ side, Patrick Henry, led by Ted Schubert and Scotty Mizelle, came in tenth with Hanover, Lee-Davis and Atlee not far behind.

A lot of the emphasis for the swimmers was in getting state or regional cuts and – always – in dropping times. But the Kecoughtan meet also has a fun atmosphere full of energy.

“This is a time when the

The Tigers, who entered Wednesday on a six-game winning streak, went on a 13-0 run that Jake Duncan capped with a 3-pointer from the corner to tie the game at 66, before Moore found Silverthorn to retake the lead.

Kramer also qualified in the 100 freestyle.

Hanover’s 400 freestyle relay team – Mattie Grant, Madison Walters, Brittany Townsend and Ellie Sherry – also tuned in its first state-qualifying time for the first time in team history, but the team had another reason to celebrate the finish.

“They went seven seconds faster than they’ve ever gone before,” said Hanover head coach George Massey. “You can’t beat that at all. Once again, another wonderful meet.”

“We’re just sharing it,” said Merkel, “and giving up good (shots) for great.”

As for Moore, receiving the honor from the ODAC was nice, but he said it wasn’t the most important.

“We got the win. That’s all that matters to me,” Moore said.

“I’d like to have 14 No. 1 seeds,” Ooton said.
