County remembers those who sacrificed for their country

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — A light rain shower fell on a somber audience as more than 200 Hanover County residents gathered to remember the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country

— America’s fallen heroes.

“It’s a small inconvenience considering what they went through,” one attendee at the Memorial Day ceremony said as the shower quickly passed.

Hanover’s Veteran’s Memorial on U.S. 301 has become the site of an annual gathering of military and civil-

“If there’s one thing I learned about high school, it’s that it is definitely okay to mess up.

And, trust me, I messed up on several occasions. Even after those failures, however, I never for once thought that those were the only mistakes I will make in my life.”

“In fact,” he continued, “even looking upon these mistakes now makes them seem minuscule, compared to the inevitable challenges and failures that will and must happen in the future. This has allowed me to realize not only the importance of failure, but the need for failure.”

“And you may be asking yourself, ‘Why is the valedictorian talking about the future?’ Well, reader, I suppose you can look at me as an example of someone who takes risks and makes mistakes, but is still able to find success in something in his life,” Prakrit said.

“And this lesson cannot be explained better than by Atlee High School, where teachers

encourage free thought and creative risk-taking. At Atlee, I learned to not fear failure.

We all fear what we do not know. When we fail, we are uncertain of what people will think, what the consequences are, and how it may impact us. But it is this fear that holds us back from continuing to expand our knowledge and wisdom of our universe,” he added.

“And it is that moment when you learn to accept failure and deal with challenges it presents that you can excel at anything you want to.

‘Everything you want is on the other side of fear.’ ’’ – Jack Canfield.

As Brandon prepares to graduate, he said, “I am truly honored to be the salutatorian of the Atlee High School Class of 2016, which is full of so many great students with bright futures. My classmates taught me so much and I am glad I was able to grow up with such a special group of people. I have made many memories both in and out of the classroom that I will remember forever, especially all of the time I spent on the soccer field with my teammates over the years. Atlee’s challenging AP (Advanced Placement) classes provided a strong academic foundation for me to build upon, and I look forward to many new opportunities at UVA.”

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Longing for simpler times during summer A photo on Facebook brought back fond memories of the summers of my youth. Life seemed simpler then, and I suppose in many ways it was.

We didn’t have the technology that we’re all so attached to today. A summer day meant a day spent outside.

The photo showed four boys on bicycles with the statement “I’m so glad I had a childhood before technology took over.” Those words rang true upon first sight.

My generation, especially as kids, was content riding bikes, wading in the creek, playing tin can alley. Bottom line: Being outside.

Of course, we started the day with breakfast and immediately headed outside for whatever adventure the day would bring. I was fortunate to grow up in a neighborhood with lots of kids in my age range.

Until it was time to go back home for lunch and dinner, the sounds of play echoed through the community. Neighbors were truly neighbors and all parents watched out for the youngsters.

My dad was a kid at heart. Mom enjoys telling people about some of the neighborhood boys coming to the house and asking her if “Big D could come out and play.” His name was Dallas and he was an imposing man with a deep voice. I often refer to him as a gentle giant and he so enjoyed playing whiffle ball or volleyball with the kids.

As a “Daddy’s girl,” we spent lots of time outside. He wasn’t a hunter or a fisherman — his sport was golf. He attempted (on many occasions) to teach me. Well, you don’t see me on the women’s tour, so obviously it didn’t stick — and I even “studied” golf in college. But I digress.

If your child is attached to whatever gaming device, smartphone, laptop, etc., encourage him or her to put it aside and take in the great outdoors. The wonders of catching lightning bugs or listening to crickets evoke images of peaceful evenings in the yard or sitting on the front porch swing.

Even as an adult, there’s something very special about the day ending outside. I miss that front porch swing.

Enjoy the serenity of summer — the heat doesn’t even seem so bad when you’re “in the moment.” So, go outside — regardless of your age.

The need to see what’s going on

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Americans possess a sense of unique voyeurism that I’m not sure is seen in any other place on the planet … or maybe it is. It would take a world traveler much more experienced than me to confirm that theory, but I’m convinced we have our fair share of interested onlookers right here in the good ol’ USA. While recently sitting stuck in a not unusual traffic jam on Interstate 95, I couldn’t imagine what could cause traffic to come to a complete halt in both lanes of traffic.

As we inched our way along closer to the incident, I couldn’t imagine what type of carnage could cause such a delay. I wanted some pre-warning

of any gory or gutsy car accident so I could avoid looking.

That’s right. I’m one of the few people who doesn’t want to see the blood, guts and tragedy associated with the misery of some poor soul who has met an unfortunate end on the road.

I’m convinced that I’m in a small majority of Americans who don’t feel a need to see the destruction, or find out what could have happened … or how the people surrounding the incident are reacting.

It’s a scene I don’t mind missing, and witnessing serious car accidents, some of them my own, have taught me that sometimes it’s better to look the other way.

That certainly wasn’t the case on I-95 as we finally reached the incident

close to the Ladysmith exit. A insignificant looking man was changing a tire in the service lane of the road.

A Virginia State Police trooper had pulled to the side and flashed his lights to make sure no one hit the guy as they changed the flat.

That mundane act drew the attention of thousands of eyeballs as cars slowed almost to a stop to witness the amazing feat that had stopped traffic for miles in either direction.

Fortunately, there is a group of people who flock to serious incidents on the road and in our homes not to be an onlooker and not out of a sense of curiosity. EMS workers respond to horrific scenes on a daily basis, and they don’t have the luxury to look see SEE, pg. 8

LETTERS | Reader Views

National Taxpayer Appreciation Day suggested We hear a lot about our tax dollars being used to improve the working conditions and bottom line of government employees but never do we hear that it’s all made possible with taxpayer sweat and money.

By now everyone should have watched a little bit of the presidential election playoffs/ripoffs. These actors are the poor disadvantaged souls our tax dollars are wasted on.

They get the gold mine, we get the shaft.

We get no respect, no awards, no monuments, no paid sick days, no early retirement or recognition.

This total disregard of our participation is beginning to be both emotionally and devastating to my well being and in order to help me cope with sleepless nights, muscle spasms, anxiety, panic attacks, night sweats and with the knowledge of being betrayed has caused me to suggest the following.

I am proclaiming Feb. 15, June 5 and Oct. 5 “National Taxpayer Appreciation Day” and those dates forevermore be set aside for that purpose. Three days when all local, state and federal employees would have the opportunity to thank a taxpayer.

A simple thank you, a chest bump, a high five or an opposite sex (my preference) hug should not be too much

Are kids ready for college?

High school graduation season is upon us.

In a few months, many of our sons and daughters will

sense of curiousity.

May 15 to May 21 was National EMS week, a six-day period dedicated to the men and women who face life’s dangers each day, and respond to

them.

When things get bad enough in our life, there’s an EMS worker there to answer the call.

It’s easy to take their service

for granted.

Thanks to the efficient and professional way they perform their jobs, it’s easy to assume they’ll always be there. Due to the dedication and com-

mitment to their calling, they will be.

But the jobs they perform should always be a target for our admiration and appreciation of the services they pro-

vide day in and day out.

Across Virginia, more than 34,000 EMS providers ensure the safety and welfare of our families, our livelihoods and our sense of security.

be changing their zip codes as they head off to institutions of higher education.

To be sure, it is most certainly an exciting rite of passage for aspiring young scholars.

However, this next class of freshmen faces challenges to the pursuit of their education that is reminiscent of the era when student uprisings became prevalent during the Vietnam War. As parents drop off their children this fall, they will shoulder the burden of wondering if they’ve properly prepared their children for the educational transition into adulthood. The harsh reality is that most likely have not.

It’s an election year, and, yes, to a degree this message is politically infused. We can pre-

tend that politics are absent in the classroom, or that politics don’t influence the lessons our children will learn at a college or university.

“My child is majoring in mathematics and statistical analysis, so I don’t have to worry” — especially this election season, such a premise is particularly naïve.

Because the presidential campaigns are so charged this year, and because it promises to be even more electrified by the time ballots are cast in November, it is assured that political discourse will occur in a wide array of venues across every college or university campus.

Parents of future freshman would be wise to consider how they might expedite

and/or reinforce their efforts to endow their children with critical thinking skills that will help them extrapolate what they need to learn from their professors and discard politically motivated allusions.

This is not a problem exclusive to children of a conservative upbringing going off to a “liberal university.”

This is a problem for all parents of a rising freshman student.

The university culture has become a bastion of anti-conservative political thought.

Children raised in an environment that identifies or agrees with that philosophy are even more at-risk.

Students of progressiveminded parents are particularly vulnerable because they are likely to enter an educational environment where nothing challenges their predilections.

Their efforts to achieve good grades may only face obstacles limited to syntax and sourcing.

They will leave school with debt in hand, having successfully regurgitated or rephrased what they’ve believed all along.

They will have spent four (or more) years and thousands of dollars living in circumstances less amenable than the bed and food they have at home.

They’ve given up their relatives’ hugs so they can receive a pat on the back from a relative stranger and a piece of paper that reaffirms they fully understand what their family has already taught them.

Liberal parents should make sure their children don’t

fall victim to the habit of nodding their heads in agreement with their instructors.

It’s a fact that human nature has an intrinsic pension to seek validation and it’s easy to fall victim to trading approval for educational value.

When a student confronts what they’ve believed all of their life and what they are being taught, they are exercising mental fortitude and better preparing themselves for what will happen after graduation.

They’ll likely find that you were right all along without wasting a small fortune simply repeating what they’ve heard in class.

Children of more conservative parents also have problems attending an institution of higher education.

Primarily, the temptation to please a professor or be accepted by peers is immense.

Like water, youth tend to follow the easiest path to the end.

It’s easier to discard values in order to maintain a scholarship, good grades, or approval.

It’s far more difficult to challenge the status quo of the environment in which they are immersed.

For the conservative parents, don’t discourage your children from attending a college or university just because they are largely institutions that espouse ideals conflicting with your own.

Challenge them to succeed with the lessons and values you raised them to esteem intact.

The most important thing parents can do is to ensure our future college and university students comprehend that

they must work hard to make the most of what is being purchased: an education.

Yes, colleges and universities are widely strongholds of more progressive political leanings.

Yes, these environments are very persuasive to young students.

Yes, it is easy to skate through and graduate with high honors by simply doing what one has been told to do.

Is that making the most of the money spent or owed for the degree? No! Challenge your kids to use their time at school to attempt proving what you’ve taught them is wrong.

You’ll rejoice in the fact that they return explaining how you didn’t understand all the ways you were right.

Higher education is a service, not a certification.

Students that don’t challenge their professors, or themselves, are squandering a financial investment.

Whenever a political season so widely dominates the news, social media, and dialog, it is certain that the leanings of any invested citizen’s personal thoughts will leak into their profession.

This is truer in higher education, than in most other situations.

Students who can maximize the opportunity to confront their predispositions and challenge themselves critically will thrive and emerge stronger in their convictions.

The Garden Coordinators of Kersey Creek Elementary held their annual “Evening in the Garden� volunteer appreciation night on Thursday, May 26. About 50 people came out to celebrate the school’s garden and were treated to a dinner of sub sandwiches, Hanover tomato salad, watermelon and butterfly cupcakes for dessert. The evening started humid and balmy, but, as soon as the sun dipped below the tree line, the garden became a magical oasis. Volunteers checked out the new garden layout and irrigation system (which hasn’t really shown those tending to it what it can do considering all the rain). Students painted benches in primary colors inviting visitors to “sit a spell� in the garden. Special thanks were extended to Barbie Firooz, assistant manager at Home Depot Ashland, for donating paint and brushes.

Virginia Lottery awards vacation to KCES teacher

By Patrick Gordon News Editor

M

ECHANICSVILLE — Angie Dalton, a special education teacher at Kersey Creek Elementary, will enjoy a free Virginiathemed vacation this summer thanks to the Virginia Lottery’s “Thank a Teacher” campaign.

Dalton, who was nominated by former Kersey Creek colleague Sue Seifert, was recognized Friday, June 3, at a surprise ceremony at the school.

Seifert, who now teaches at Cool Spring Elementary School, said Dalton stood out when they worked together.

“I worked with her for 12 years,” Seifert SEIFERT said.

“I’ve watched her tirelessly work with preschool students with special needs and she always rises to the occasion.

No one cares for her students

more than she does. She’s an awesome teacher and I can’t think of anybody else who deserves it more than she does.”

During Teacher Appreciation Week in May, Seifert nominated Dalton for the prize by sending a thank you note through the “Thank a Teacher” campaign.

More than 30,000 notes were sent in to give thanks for teachers across the commonwealth.

Dalton was one of more than 5,000 Virginia teachers who entered the grand prize drawing.

She now has a choice of taking a beach lovers, mountain lovers, or wine lovers vacation.

“The beach and the mountains both sound good,” she said, after learning she had won. “I’ll think it over. I’m just really surprised right now. I don’t usually win anything, so it’s very nice.”

She also said that all teachers work hard and any teacher would deserve the prize.

Kersey Creek principal Lisa Thompson had high praise for Dalton.

“Ms. Dalton really epitomizes a heart for all children,” she said. “She is about bringing awareness that all children are special and that all children deserve respect and you see that in the classroom.”

Thompson said Dalton is working on an initiative that will group special needs students with other students in general education classes.

“Angie is just one of many

teachers in this building who truly give their heart and soul to the school,” Thompson continued. “To see her fruits rewarded is just a blessing. I wish we could do it for everybody.”

The Virginia Lottery proceeds support public K-12 education in Virginia.

The Thank a Teacher program is one of the ways they thank teachers in the commonwealth for their hard work.

The program is sponsored by the Virginia PTA and the Virginia Tourism Corporation, who donated the trip.

Hanover County superintendent Michael Gill emphasized that this award was indicative of the hard work of all the teachers across the county.

“I think that what this shows to me is how much value our teachers have in the community,” Gill noted.

“I know she’s ecstatic but to me, she represents so many teachers who are also equally deserving of such an honor. I’m so glad that we got to do this and I hope she enjoys every minute of the vacation.”

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Daisy, 441729, is a 1.6-year-old female domestic long-haired feline. She has been spayed. She also has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV negative. Daisy was surrendered to the shelter late last month because her owner sadly passed away.

She has a very sweet temperament around people and is litter box trained. Daisy is declawed so she needs to strictly be an indoor only cat. She seems very well adjusted to new people and other cats.

Penny, 431800, is a 5-yearold pit bull. She has been spayed.

She also has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Penny has been in the shelter for almost four months. She has come a long way since then. Penny is a playful pup who gets along well with people. She has a lot of playful energy, but tires herself out on long walks on a leash. She is good with other dogs but sometimes can be a little rough when playing. The shelter staff said, “We hope you will consider her as your next pet!” For more information on this great pet, 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.

SEARCH

Project SEARCH students obtain invaluable experience through internships in a health care or business environment, with the goal of having a job by the end of the year. Some students are offered jobs before they finish the program. This year nearly 40 students have already begun employment.

Zach Suit, who has autism and is nonverbal, recently began employment in environ-

mental services after participating in Project SEARCH at Novant Health Prince William Medical Center.

“Project SEARCH was such an integral part of Zach’s life and created a whole new world for him,” said his mother, Michelle Suit of Manassas. “He’s been able to interact with staff and he’s gotten a job at the hospital.

It’s the most incredible blessing I could ever imagine.”

DARS, the Virginia

Department of Education, local hospitals and public school systems coordinate the program.

DARS provided more than $700,000 in funding for job coaches to work with students throughout this academic year to ensure that they learn the responsibilities and duties of the workplace.

On the morning of Sunday, May 15, Mechanicsville resident Chris Owens decided to tackle some yard work. He began by cutting his grass, but shortly after getting started, he went inside and told his wife Sarah that he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feeling well.

Soon after that, Chris collapsed in the floor of his home and went into cardiac arrest. His wife immediately dialed 911 and started the process known as the Chain of Survival, where a sequence of life-saving interventions occur in rapid succession, providing a good chance of a positive outcome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; heart stopped, all the pieces started to fall into place,â&#x20AC;? said Battalion Chief Jason Williams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wife did all the right things.â&#x20AC;?

Once the 911 call was placed, CPR instructions were given to Sarah until Hanover Fire-EMS units arrived.

Upon arrival, responders continued Chrisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s resuscitation and provided quality CPR, delivered shocks to his heart, and provided Advanced Life Support (ALS) treatment.

While preparing Chris for transport, he regained a pulse.

He was rapidly transported to the hospital in critical condition, where his treatment continued.

Fortunately, Williams said, Chris made a miraculous recovery and recently was discharged from the hospital.

Chris and his family took time to visit the crew from Truck 13, who were his first responders, to thank them for what they did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am alive today thanks to the quick response and

Ashland celebrates another successful Strawberry Faire

Jim Ridolphi for The Hanover Local

Photo submitted by Sandra Griffin, pageant director

Over 30 energetic youths from ages 3 to 16 celebrated Saturday in the 35th annual Strawberry Pageant of the Ashland Strawberry Faire. This endearing non-competitive pageant has become an Ashland tradition since 1982, providing participants fun-filled memories. The winners’ names are drawn from a strawberry basket. The Strawberry Pageant was sponsored by Ferbers Tire & Auto Repair and Indulgence Spa & Boutique provided “hair fun” in the pre-pageant activities.

The Ashland Strawberry Faire is one of Ashland’s largest fundraisers, earning thousands of dollars for scholarships and grants to the local area. Winners were from left, Addilyn Greenday, Little Miss Strawberry; Hope Stevens, Jr. Miss Strawberry; Emily Fleming, Miss Strawberry; Drew Wajciechowski, Jr. Mr. Strawberry; and JJ Vest, Little Mr. Strawberry.

Angela Kelly-Wiecek, right in the photo at left, Chickahominy District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, and Alexander Flanagan were official judges in the food contest for the Ashland Strawberry Faire. They made their rounds tasting strawberry-inspired recipes. Alexander is shown with Kelly-Wiecek taking a bite out of strawberry-infused brownie, which just happened to capture the blue ribbon in its category. At left in the photo below, Wayne Harris holds his daughter Cate as contestants take the stage at the Ashland Strawberry Pageant. Harris said it’s normal duty for him, the father of seven. Above, Randolph-Macon College alumni, from left, Kathy Day, Lachelle Lewis, Aliya Headley and Jenny Day met up Saturday at the Ashland Strawberry Faire for a homecoming/reunion combination. Below, crowds filled the streets around the campus of Randolph-Macon College for the Ashland Strawberry Faire.

Due to the overwhelming support from the first presentation of “Civilian Response to an Active Shooter,” the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office hosted its second presentation on Thursday, May 26, at the Hanover County Board of Supervisors conference room. About 140 community members attended. As a result, over 330 individuals have received a better understanding on how to respond in the event of an active shooter situation. Once again, the presentation focused on historical case studies and current best practices. It was designed to make the community aware of what they can do to be better prepared and develop a plan should an event like this occur. “Partnering with our community to deliver this information and the favorable response is indicative of the great partnerships we share in Hanover County. The Sheriff’s Office would like to extend its sincere appreciation to all who attended these events making them a success,” said Col. David R. Hines, sheriff.

Kobe Bryant just retired and is considered one of the best basketball players in the world. If your child has dreams of becoming one of the greatest ball handlers, sign them up for the EB’s Hoop N’ Up Summer Camp.

With high intensity drills

for the 8- to 13-year-old, this co-ed camp will test abilities and grow participants skill-set in the basketball world.

Even dodgeball is a sport.

What better way to let off lots of energy than by throwing balls at your friends in competitive matches.

Enjoy training and competition in a fun filled environment.

If individual sports strike an interest versus large team sports, than wrestling, or archery may be of interest.

Or perhaps tennis. Friends at For the Love of Tennis and Play Tennis Hanover have the courts filled throughout Hanover in classes such as Tweaking Tennis Skills, All Girls Tennis Camp, and various other Tennis Summer

Camps. Martial arts students can enjoy classes in Traditional Japanese Karate.

Sports camps and classes begin in June with some in July and a few stretching into August. With so much offered, your child will have a fun and action packed summer.

To find programs, times and dates that are convenient for you, including location and

fees, browse online at www. hanoverparksrec.com.

On Friday, McAuliffe lauded the effort that created the license plates.

He called it potentially lifesaving.

“The purpose is really about safety for our runners,” McAuliffe said.

“It is a tragedy we had here in Virginia, but I do think with the issuance of this new license plate today, it will help save the lives of other runners.”

Lee-Davis takes third in tough track field

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor NEWPORT NEWS – LeeDavis head coach Neil Mathews went into the Virginia High School League Group 5A track and field championships knowing it was going to be difficult for the Confederates to make it three straight.

This year, the team from Bethel – a former Group 6A team that was reclassified as Group 5A this year, barred the way. The Bruins barred it effectively, securing the boys title with 65 points, 22 better than second-place Prince George and 24 better than Lee-Davis, which came in third.

On the girls side, the result was even more lopsided, with Nansemond River nearly doubling up points on second-place Maury, 139 to 70.5. Lee-Davis, led by a one-two finish in the pole vault by Jordan Lipinski and Yomna Soliman, finished 10th with 21.5 points.

Mathews was pleased the Confederates did so well.

“We had a pretty good day.

We had a lot of things go our way. A lot of kids stepped up and did real well,” Mathews said. “We had some things that didn’t go our well, but for a lot of those younger guys, those juniors, those are growing pains that are almost a necessity.

There are definitely areas that we can improve on, but we were

NEWPORT NEWS — Because of rain in Harrisonburg on Saturday, the Virginia High School League Group 3A/4A state outdoor track and field championships were suspended before completion.

VHSL officials announced Monday that the meet will be resumed today at 2:30 p.m.

Officials made the decision after the 300-meter hurdles, with the 200 meters and 4x400-meter relay still left to run, as well as some of the 800. The remaining events won’t be made up, and no schools were awarded team titles.

Lee-Davis, Atlee to meet in state semifinal

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee took a different route this year, but the defending champs are going back to the state tournament.

Jordan Durbin drove in all three Raiders runs, Peyton St. George pitched a shutout and Atlee defeated Stone Bridge 3-0 in the 5A North semifinals on Wednesday in Mechanicsville.

The Raiders fell to Halifax 6-0 in the region final Friday night, however, forcing an allMechancisville Virginia High School League semifinal Friday at 12:30 p.m. at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax.

The Confederates swept through the Region 5A South tournament, capping it with a 21 victory over Hickory at Deep Run High School last Friday.

Atlee head coach Tom McIntyre was pleased with the Raiders earning a return ticket to the state tournament.

“It’s awesome,” said Raiders coach Tom McIntyre. “It certainly was a goal from the beginning. You never know how the season’s going to go. We pushed pretty hard to come out and do the things we’ve done, and we’re doggone proud of these young ladies for getting there.”

“She’s got guts, she’s got determination, and she flat gets it done.”

Warren also got it done for the Raiders. She recorded three of their four hits, including a double in the third.

“When I get on base, I just look for any chance that I have to get an extra base and the ultimate goal is to score,” she said.

Scoring in the first, “sets a tone for us, and it just gets us all excited and motivates us to keep scoring runs.”

“I tell her all the time, she’s a tone-setter,” said McIntyre.

“She sets the tone for this whole team. When she gets on, with her speed, it’s just a matter of get on, get over, get in. We talk about that a lot, and when Kelly Warren is dialed up and dialed in, she is a weapon.”

Region 5A South GLEN ALLEN – The Confederates clinched a berth in the state tournament by defeating Prince George 4-2 in a Region 5A South semifinal Wednesday at Deep Run High School. Lee-Davis went on to claim the region title with a 21 victory over Hickory Friday night.

Hanover broke the game wide open in the sixth when it scored seven runs, turning a 7-3 lead into 14-3.

John Gregory was 2 for 3 with two RBIs, a run and a double. Hunter Marshall hit four RBIs. Moore and Cayman Richardson scored two runs each.

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Somewhere off in the distance, lightning struck and the 4A East region semifinal game between Hanover and Lafayette was put in delay, frozen in the bottom of the first inning.

Secluded in a room in Hanover High School, the Hanover baseball team played rap music, relaxed and waited out the weather.

When Hanover returned to the field 45 minutes later, pitcher Hayden Moore escaped his firstinning jitters. He was throwing harder and better. After giving up a two-run homer in the first inning, Moore cruised the rest of the way, and Hanover routed Lafayette 14-3 on Friday night.

As a result of the victory, Hanover – which went on to defeat Jamestown 11-0 in the regional final Saturday – will play in a state tournament for the fourth consecutive year.

Hanover will face the loser of the Liberty Christian/Kettle run game in the state semifinal at Liberty University Friday at 3 p.m.

The semifinal game was delayed twice for lightning for a total stoppage of 91 minutes.

The game ended three hours and 21 minutes after it began.

Hanover second baseman Jack Dragum dives face-first across the plate to score in the Hawks’ 11-0 victory over host Jamestown in the Region 4A East baseball championship game at Jamestown High School Saturday.

While the Hawks waited, Moore stayed loose by throwing weighted balls and stretching his arm with bands. When he returned to the mound, he felt better than he did before the interruption. In the first inning, he allowed a two-run home run

“I was all amped up,” Moore said. “I felt more loose for some reason.”

Hanover’s Tyler Flora cuts downfield with the ball while Western Albemarle’s Oliver Herndon guards him during the Region 4A East boys lacrosse final at Hanover Thursday.

MECHANICSVILLE – The Region 4A South boys lacrosse final was tied 10 times before Western Albemarle was able to come away with a 21-18 victory over host Hanover on Thursday night.

“Western is a great team,” said Hanover coach Dave Daly.

“They are one of the best teams in the state every year and to know we went toe to toe with them is a great. This game was like a boxing match; we ran out of time in the last round. I think if you gave us another round, we would have won the game.”

Hanover was down 14-9 with 5:09 remaining in the third quarter, but scored five consecutive goals to tie the game with

1:07 left in the quarter.

And it was an impressive goal by Jacob Wright that tied the game. Wright scooped up the ball immediately after a save

by Western Albemarle goalie Jackson Sours, but while Sours still was on the ground, Wright popped the ball in from up top to get his second of three goals in the game.

That’s when Western

Albemarle started winning more faceoffs and converting its possessions into immediate goals. The Warriors scored three goals in a minute to take an 18-15 lead with 7:27 remaining.

The Warriors had a 1914 advantage in faceoffs and outshot the Hawks 46-45, but

Atlee falls to PH-Roanoke in lacrosse final

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – It will be a long time before Atlee forgets the name Christian Blackwell.

The Patrick Henry-Roanoke midfielder scored a goal with 0.3 seconds left in the first half to break a 4-4 tie, then scored another goal a minute into the second half to pace the Patriots to a 9-5 victory over the host Raiders in a Region 5A South final at Randolph-Macon College’s Day Field on Friday night.

Patrick Henry will host Briar Woods in a VHSL Group 5A semifinal Tuesday night at 6 p.m. Atlee will travel to Stone Bridge in Ashburn for the other state semifinal, which also will start at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

For most of the first half, the two teams seemed evenly matched. The Patriots jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the first quarter, but Atlee bounced back with three quick goals in the second quarter and looked to be heading for halftime with the edge. Blackwell’s goal just before halftime signaled otherwise.

“That goal was huge,” said Patriots coach Josh Wilkinson.

“It really got us some momentum going into halftime — it fired the guys up, tying it up at 4 and getting that last one.”

Blackwell’s go-ahead goal had another benefit: a high-hit penalty that caused Atlee to be

said the Patriots were beginning to adjust to what the Raiders were doing on attack, knowing when a defender needed to slide into position to thwart a Raiders charge and when to stay at home.

“We started to understand a lot of their (midfielders’) tendencies,” Blackwell said. “We started to know when to have a two-slide, and when maybe not to slide as hot. Our slide packages definitely improved the second half.”

But there was more to it.

“I also think we were more confident the second half,” Blackwell said.

Max Helmer and Ben Vance had two goals apiece for the Patriots. Goalkeeper Ikie Smith had 14 saves — eight in the third quarter.

Will Stockhausen led Atlee with three goals and an assist.

While Patrick Henry’s defense got stronger, the Raiders, plagued by penalties, seemed to run out of gas in the second half.

“It was tough. We played a lot of man down tonight, and they tired us out,” said Atlee coach Fielding Crawford. “We didn’t execute. I’m not sure Dave Lawrence/The Local what the shot number will say, Patrick Henry-Roanoke’s Will Churchill (left) works his way around Atlee defender Jack Cook in the Patriots’ 9-5 victory over the but I know we had a lot of shots Raiders in the Region 5A South boys lacrosse championship game Friday. on goal and we just couldn’t a man short when play resumed up there,” Wilkinson said. “It up scoring again.
