Clinton and Trump win county and state ‘Exceptionally high turnout’

Meredith Rigsby/ The Local

An “exceptionally high turnout” was reported by Voter Registrar Teri Smithson for last week’s Presidential Primary Election. A poll worker checks the identification and voter registration for a voter at the precinct located at Oak Knoll Middle School.

By Meredith Rigsby News Editor HANOVER – Hanover County had an “exceptionally high turnout” of voters during the March 1 presidential primary election, according to Teri Smithson, voter registrar for Hanover. Virginians, like voters in 10 other states on Super Tuesday, threw their support for Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump. Statewide, they each got

503,357 and 356,245 votes, respectively. In Hanover County, the totals were 4,915 and 8,586, respectively. Unfortunately, in the early morning of Election Day, an election officer for the Oak Hill precinct was killed during a single-vehicle collision. According to Sgt. James Cooper of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, Malcolm Gardner Jr., 76, died when the 2006 Chevrolet sedan he was driving westbound on Melton Road crossed over both lanes of Ashcake Road, struck an embankment, and rolled over several times. He was ejected from the vehicle and pronounced dead at the scene. No major issues occurred during

the ballot-casting process, but many voters were confused about whether or not they had to be registered with a party to vote in the primary. For the presidential primary election, voters do not need to be registered with a party in order to vote. The Hanover County Registrar’s Office had voters “calling by the hundreds” to ask if they were registered with their party and would be able to vote in the primary, Smithson said. In a first for the county, a voter at the Pebble Creek precinct left with his ballot while a deputy was clearing an issue with the ballot machine. The Hanover County Sheriff ’s see WIN, pg. 5

DC2RVA high-speed rail project progressing By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND—TheVirginiaDepartment of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) is about halfway through a threeyear-long study being conducted concern-

ing a proposed project to construct a highspeed rail connecting Washington, D.C., Richmond, Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina, and Atlanta, Georgia, with a spur from Richmond to Hampton Roads. “The goal of the project is to identify and evaluate specific rail infrastructure improvements and service upgrades that

will increase passenger rail service frequency, so the number of rails that would come through, and the reliability,” Emily Stock, project manager for the Department of Rail and Public Transportation, said. “It [the project] would help with the on-time see RAIL, pg. 4

ECHANICSVILLE — On the first Saturday in November 2015, local merchant Treats and Treasures Country Store held an “open acoustical jam session” for local performers to come and showcase their talents. Owners Wendy and Lance Minter decided to try something different and place a donation collection container out to support the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad (EHVRS). With the collection that night and their own donation, they presented a check to EHVRS for $250. Richard Troxel of the rescue squad said, “EHVRS truly appreciates the relationship with Treats and Treasures Country Store and want to thank Wendy and Lance for their dedication to the community. The donation will be used to support new winter jackets for running members that will be reflective and

highly visible when out responding to citizens’ emergency needs.” Troxel said Treats and Treasures “prides itself on homemade food and beverages as well as a fine assortment of antiques reasonably priced for customers to purchase.” Previous donations collected by Treats and Treasures have been given to MDA (Muscular Dystrophy Association), local churches and other charities. “Lance and Wendy hope to keep the giving going to support their community. Residents should make an effort to visit them on Facebook listed as Treats and Treasures Country Store at Ellerson’s Garage,” Troxel added. The store is located at 5912 Cold Harbor Rd in Mechanicsville, where Ellerson’s Garage was located. “EHVRS Crew members will keep coming back for good food and pleasant company. Thank you, guys!” Troxel said.

Election worker killed in crash on way to polling place Staff Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND — An elderly Ashland man was killed early Tuesday morning, March 1, in a single-vehicle collision at the intersection of Ashcake Road and Melton Road. According to Sgt. James

State Senate resolution could help with study on biosolids By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News The often controversial subject of biosolids will be the subject of a two-year study by the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC), thanks to a House Joint Resolution passed Feb. 23 by the Senate. Resolution HJ120, introduced by Del. R. Steven Landes (R-25), asks JLARC, among other tasks, to study scientific findings on the health effects

performance of the passenger rails in the corridor and it

of biosolids and industrial residuals. The study is expected to be completed on Nov. 30, 2017. “This is obviously an issue the General Assembly has been aware of for a number of years,” said Landes, whose district includes the Piedmont region and the Shenandoah Valley. “Right now, from a workload standpoint, the commission has time to do this.” The use of biosolids, the treated leftovers from the sew-

age treatment process, and industrial residuals has been a divisive issue in and around Goochland for some time, but came to the forefront in 2015 when Baltimore-based Synagro received permission from the State Water Control Board to spread industrial residuals on about 16,000 acres of farm and forest land in Goochland, King and Queen, King William, New Kent, Prince George and Surry counties. Residents in those localities

publicly questioned the safety of the plan, and the possible impacts on both public health and property values. For Del. Lee Ware (R- 65), the quest to secure further study on biosolids is not new. Last year, Ware’s quest to have the Virginia Institute of Marine Sciences at William & Mary lead a study on biosolids was defeated in the House. His work on that proposal, however, was a key component in Landes’ resolution.

The passage of HJ120, “puts us on track to review more deeply the nature and makeup of industrial wastes and various biosolids that are being spread on fields in Goochland and Powhatan and indeed a number of counties in Virginia,” Ware said in an e-mail last week. “This analysis should give us more definitive knowledge than is now available. I am glad of the success of these labors, which have been greatly aided by the energetic

engagement of the Goochland (County) Board of Supervisors, and I will be eagerly awaiting results of the study.” To Goochland resident Cheryl Ellison, who lent her voice early on to the fight against bringing biosolids to Goochland, said the study is a step in the right direction. Said Ellison, “It looks like the beginning of a long-overdue and much-needed conversation.” Roslyn Ryan is editor of The Goochland Gazette.

would also lower travel time.” In 2014, public scoping meetings about the 123-mile DC2RVA rail project were held, seeking input on the project’s

scope, purpose and need, and proposed project process. In June 2015, additional public meetings were held, asking for input concerning the screening process and criteria, according to the DRPT’s website. DRPT, in conjunction with the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), FRA and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), conducted a Tier I Environmental Impact Study (EIS) in 2002 that examined railway from Charlotte to Washington, D.C. The Tier I EIS determined the purpose of the high-speed rail would be to improve ontime performance, improve

trip times by 15 to 20 minutes, and add up to nine round-trips daily. The study also recommended that project construction stay within the existing CSX right-of-ways as much as possible in order to achieve higher speeds and better efficiencies, according to Stock. “The 2002 study said to do as many incremental improvements as possible to get higher speeds and better reliability within the existing corridor rather than going completely off the existing corridor and developing a green field,” Stock said. The DRPT is working toward drafting the second

phase of its environmental impact statement, in part, to determine which of the three proposed infrastructure options for the portion of the rail running through the Ashland/Hanover area is the most feasible. DRPT staff is currently conducting field investigations and collecting data to find out what types of resources are available in the corridor, how the proposed infrastructure options will actually benefit passenger rails and how to design improvements in a way that will avoid cultural and natural resources and private property, Stock said. Track options for the Ashland portion of the rail include no build; the addition of a third track on the east side of the existing track that runs through town; and the addition of a bypass to the west of Ashland. The Tier II EIS study is expected to be completed at the end of 2017, after which DRPT will receive a record of decision from the FRA in response to the study. Although Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr., county administrator of Hanover County, and Ashland’s Town Manager Charles Hartgrove have sent letters to Stock supporting the option for a double-track

bypass to the west of Ashland, residents from the area that attended a town hall meeting held Wednesday, Feb. 17, by U.S. Rep. Dave Brat, R-7, did not support this infrastructure option. Stock said public comment has contributed to and driven some of the infrastructure alternatives that have been presented so far for the project. Public comment is “consistently guiding the process,” she said. The DPRT is looking at the corridor “mile-by-mile” to determine which infrastructure options will work best on different parts of the rail. All infrastructure options are currently being assessed equally and none of the options are concrete at this point. “Once we get out into the field, once we can really investigate these alternatives in detail, we may find some resources that we really are, we just can’t impact and we have to change the designs or it will steer us to a different design,” Stock said. Virginia received $44.3 million in federal high-speed rail funds in 2010 that is enabling it to conduct the Tier II EIS for the portion of the corridor between Richmond and Washington, D.C.

Anybody else ready for the elections to end?

| Reader Views

While the caucuses and elections continue to dominate the headlines, the screamfest that is the presidential primary of 2016 makes this writer ready for November. In other words, let’s get past this political season. With a somewhat political newcomer insulting just about everybody — and yet a cult-like following packs his rallies — and some candidates who actually have public service experience but we must ask if they are presidential material, here’s one voter who is weary, frustrated and exasperated by the image portrayed across a global stage. There are clouds over the campaign of Hillary Clinton, but who had heard of Bernie Sanders before he tossed his hat into the ring? Clinton can hold her own with any topic, but many question Benghazi and her emails. The whole email scenario is baffling — and I’m not going to weigh in at this point on Benghazi. I’ll admit I was surprised that Donald Trump won Hanover County. I really thought Ted Cruz would best the no-holds-barred billionaire here if for no other reason than the evangelical vote. Clinton taking Virginia came as no surprise. Democrats hold the top three spots in our state right now — one being the governor, Terry McAuliffe, who has had close ties to the Clintons (Hillary and the former president, Bill) for some time. Trump has become the king of criticism, which makes it even more incomprehensible that he is attracting such crowds. And those who disagree with him are being removed from his public functions. We’ve all heard the old saying, “If you can’t take the heat, get out of the kitchen.” If he is this volatile in a campaign, what does that say about him appearing before the United Nations or the G7? Does Sanders have the political mettle to delve into foreign policy? Who of the frontrunners can represent us well on the international level? Might as well go for it and say I think we’ll be seeing The Donald and Hillary when we head to the polls in November. If Trump wins, many are already posting on social media about leaving the United States. I keep saying I can speak Canadian. “Eh.” Melody Kinser

We dodged a bullet a couple of weeks ago. Now it’s time for the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to act before it’s too late. On Wednesday, Feb. 24, our area received numerous tornado warnings — more in one day than I can ever recall. While we didn’t lose electricity, we did lose Internet and TV because we’re on satellite. We also happen to be in a dead zone for cell phone coverage. Enough is enough. The board of supervisors won’t look at this issue from a technology, business or land value perspective, then, for goodness sakes, they need to look at this from a public safety perspective. The board of supervisors needs to stop kicking this can down the road and do everything they can to bring broad band Internet access to the outlying areas of the county. Have they looked at federal/state assistance? Have they looked at public/private partnerships? Have they looked at communities that have found out how to connect their citizens to broad band access – Blacksburg, for example, for crying out loud ... Korea? Hard to believe that Third World countries have better Internet access than Hanover County. It’s an embarrassment and needs to be addressed. Robert N. Bradshaw Mechanicsville

Weather dilemma reminded county of technology woes

GOP presidential candidates reminiscent of ‘Animal Farm’ I saw Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham’s comment that his party was going bat (bleep) crazy. I will not say that I disagree. It reminds me of their 1964 Barry Goldwater fiasco. The current Republican presidential candidate lineup brings to mind George Orwell’s “Animal Farm.” First, we have Napoleon (Donald Trump). Napoleon is the pig that has the power. Secondly, we have Snowball (Ted Cruz). Snowball is the pig trying to get the power away from Napoleon. Then we have Squealer (Marco Rubio). Squealer is the

pig trying to … well, enough of that. You catch the drift. Roger Bolton Mechanicsville

Traffic issues on Pole Green not the fault of the county In reference to the article “Pole Green road’s forecast,” I’d like to say that I agree with David Maloney, the highway department and the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that the additional traffic on Pole Green Road will not be the fault of the county, the highway department or our board of supervisors. The “D” rating VDOT (Virginia Department of Transportation) gave Pole Green Road, I assume, is a good grade as I remember all my teachers wanted me to bring my grades up to a “D.” I also say the traffic is not the fault of the subdivisions, the retirement communities or the low income housing. It’s actually the fault of the people with kids and cars that show up after the properties are built. Without the people, kids and cars there would be no additional traffic. The land owners have a right to build on their land whatever they can get approved, and, if it’s subdivisions, so be it. Just a thought but maybe some type of proffer would be in order for the vehicles of people coming to Hanover who purchase these properties. These proffers would go for road improvements. The school traffic as I can see is our biggest problem. During Hanover County Public Schools’ Christmas break I could get from Old Church to Ellerson in 12 to 14 minutes with practically no hold-ups. see LETTERS, pg. 8

INFORMATIONAL OPEN HOUSE Four Rivers-Fredericksburg Project / Pinewood Switching Station Project DOMINION VIRGINIA POWER plans to rebuild an existing transmission line that extends approximately 34 miles from the Four Rivers Substation in Hanover County to the Fredericksburg Substation in the City of Fredericksburg. The line, constructed in 1957, must be rebuilt to ensure its continued safe and reliable operation. All of the work will occur within the existing right of way. Dominion also plans to build a new switching station in the North Doswell area. The new Pinewood Switching Station will be located east of I-95 off Washington Highway where the Four Rivers-Fredericksburg line delivers electricity to Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC). In addition, Dominion plans to build a new “tap” line that connects the Four Rivers-Fredericksburg line to the Pinewood Switching Station, and rebuild a tap line from the Pinewood Switching Station to the REC delivery point. Both tap lines will be constructed within the existing right of way. Stop by our open house events to learn more about what these projects will mean for you and the community. We want to share our plans and answer your questions.

Proffer money will go to cover the cost of new schools, school repair, more buses, more teachers and more law enforcement. The best part of this proffer is that it will not increase the value of the neighbors’ car, kids or house. Ted Mentz Old Church

MECHANICSVILLE — Students from Chickahominy Middle School are completing final preparations for this year’s school musical, “The Music Man Jr.,” based on a story by Meredith Willson and Franklin Lacey. It’s the tale of Harold Hill, a salesman who arrives in a small Iowa community with dishonest intentions. Harold plans to con the community with promises of a grand student marching band and then skip town with their money. Unforeseen circumstances change plans for Harold and the rest of the town as well. This classic stage production is being directed and coordinated by Karen Mills, Chickahominy technical education teacher. Mills is quick to point out, “This is truly a studentled production. In addition to learning their lines and songs, students teach choreography, create the sets and work on technical aspects of the pro-

Council defers rezoning application action to April By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND — Ashland Town Council deferred rezoning application REZ15-0313 to its April 5 meeting and authorized the re-advertisement of the rezoning request and details. Action was taken during the regular meeting on Tuesday, March 1, at Ashland Town Hall. The applicant requested that the rezoning application be deferred to a later meeting because of a discrepancy between the most recent proffers and the most recent development plan, which resulted in incorrect information being advertised for the March 1

public hearing about REZ150313. The application, applied for by Rogers-Chenault Inc., seeks to rezone approximately 52.5 acres from PUD, Planned Unit Development; RR-1, Rural Residential; and B-4, Neighborhood Commercial; to R-3, Residential Medium and R-4, Residential MediumHigh. The property is located at the southeast corner of the intersection of U.S. Route 54 and Chapman Street and is bracketed to the north and east by Chapman Street. On April 22, 2015, the Ashland Planning Commission unanimously voted to recommend denial of REZ15-0313 and, on May 5, 2015, town

Town of Ashland leaders and volunteers recently joined together at the Ashland Theater to repair the ceiling, clean and hang curtains, do some painting, and then wrap up the weekend with a sold-out standing room only (350 in attendance) crowd for “Untold Stories: Growing Up in Ashland/Hanover The Black and White Experience.” According to Lorie Foley, “This was the largest and most diverse audience we have had at a show, and was just a terrific time.” The theater has been open for more than a year with over 100 events being held there. As for the Feb. 27-28, Foley added, “This weekend’s turnout should leave little doubt that a community-based multi-faceted theater can thrive in Ashland. Thanks to all who made it out!”

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Cletus, 429218, is a (estimated) 2-year-old male Walker Hound. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Cletus is a friendly guy who has been at the shelter since January. He has a very playful disposition and loves to run. Cletus gets along well with other dogs. He seems to have been an outdoor dog but should transition to being indoors. He would benefit from lots of playtime and exercise. Sandy, 433444, is a 7-month-old male domestic short-haired feline. He has had his first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Sandy was turned in to the shelter this past week. He came from a home environment with children, so he is very friendly around people. Sandy also is curious and playful. He loves his cat toys. He seems to be litter trained as well. Sandy will do best as an indoor cat. 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.

A 6-inch road widening along the eastern border with Chapman Street has been removed. The cash proffer has increased from $800 per dwelling unit to $1,000 per dwelling unit to construct off-site trail improvements or road improvements at the intersection of “Road A” and U.S. 54, which include an eastbound/ southbound left turn lane or traffic light. The total amount of cash proffer has increased from $149,600 to $157,000. The minimum number of side-loading garages in R-3 single-family detached homes (Type A) was reduced from 50 percent to 25 percent.

ly with 188 townhome units on 35 acres. The proposed rezoning by RCI is for a plot of land that is 17 acres larger than the area rezoned in 1983. Following analysis of REZ15-0313 against the comprehensive plan and housing design guidelines, planning commission staff still had some concerns about the potential impacts of rezoning request. Planning commission staff recommended denial of REZ15-0313 because the proposed density does not conform to the comprehensive plan, there is concern about the inability to provide necessary traffic improvements on U.S. 54, and the use of R-4, which does not match the intent description of the future land use classification “single-family low density residential.” During the public comment section of the public hearing concerning REZ15-

0313, citizens cited density, design and traffic as their biggest concerns. “I think that we can look at the proposal that is in front of us now and acknowledge that it is better than what was originally presented to us,” council member James Murray said. … “I still have quite a few concerns about the proposal before us; I think maybe it’s not quite there yet.” Murray suggested that, because the current proposal is so different from the original, staff “take a step back” and run it through the process again to allow the planning commission to provide input on what’s currently on the table. Another public hearing concerning REZ15-0313 is scheduled for town council’s April 5 meeting. The next Ashland Town Council meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 15, at Town Hall located at 101 Thompson St.

Abdullah takes Junior title By Natalie Miller for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Anisah Abdullah said she was “so excited” and felt “so special” after being crowned the 2016 Hanover Junior Idol Sunday afternoon at the Ashland Theater. She said she has practiced singing since she was 4 years old, and won first place in a children’s division singing contest at the Apollo Theater last year. Held in conjunction with the Hanover Idols Competition since 2008, the Hanover Junior Idols Competition gives con-

testants ages 10 to 16 the chance to perform and be recognized for their passion. This year’s 12 contestants auditioned in January with 48 others before being chosen as finalists for the Junior Idol. This year finalists came from middle and high schools across Hanover County to compete for the Hanover Junior Idol title. They had only a few weeks to choose the songs they’d perform and practice for the big night. Fred Horn, Sean Kennedy, Patrick Warren and Kelley Dawson coached contestants and guided the young singers to be performance-ready.

Six judges determined the next Junior Idol. The judges were 2010 Idol winner Ammie Mines-Derricott, Carter Flippo, Hanover Idols founder John Gordon, Deborah Shannon, Rick Tinsley and Phil Whiteway. Each performer brought his or her own unique singing styles to the stage. Songs ranged from Adele’s “Turning Tables” to The Animals’ “House of the Rising Sun” sung by Kennedy O’Hanley while her father accompanied on acoustic guitar. Mandy Ratchford played the keyboard while singing Lady Gaga’s “Speechless.”

Anisah Abdullah smiles for the camera after winning the Hanover Junior Idol title. She described her successful performance as “so special.”

“I was nervous but very proud [of her],” Ratchford’s mother, Kathie White, said. Ratchford has sung for years but started voice lessons last year. While the judges deliber-

Record four HHS students chosen for All Virginia Band Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Hanover High School had four students make the All Virginia Band. Sarah Castle, Josie Garner, Joseph Laux and Sean Talbot made the top ensemble, which is a record first for Hanover High. The competition is presented by the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association, which is a unit of the Virginia Music Educators Association. The music auditions begin at each individual county, where county schools compete against one another. The next step is the district com-

petition, which has students from local counties audition against one another and then, finally, those who place high in the district competition are invited to audition for the All-State Band. Virginia is comprised of 13 districts and these high school musicians gathered Feb. 26 at James Madison University in Harrisonburg to audition for the top spots in the state band performance. The students who made the All Virginia Band and Orchestra will gather at George Mason University in early April to work together over a short period of time and then perform a concert for the public.

Salon suite opens, allowing stylists to operate own business By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND — In July 2015, Mike Allen, a former local real estate and time share salesman, opened Artistic Hair Salon Plaza, a six-room salon suite aimed at enabling young women to go into business for themselves by allowing them to rent a suite and operate it as a self-owned salon. The six suites include one double suite and two single suites that are both 158 square feet; three single suites that are 110 square feet and one chair suite, all of which range in price from $150 to $400 per week – with all utilities included. “That’s the idea of the concept . . . we have a sitting area in each suite, and I have a small front desk and a computer and

a retail display area — I have everything I n e e d ,” J a n e Morris, a veteran hairstylist and renter of one of the large salon ALLEN suites, said. Other than the chair suite, each salon suite comes completely furnished and features lockable French doors. The chair suite offers an open salon setting in which the stylist works in a common area with a tool cart, according to Allen. The renter of each salon suite also is allowed to decorate

and advertise their business as they choose. Allen invested “at least” $62,000 in the building that previously housed Sheer Innovations, and, after the purchase, had to completely gut it “from floor to ceiling,” installing completely new electrical equipment throughout. From July to September, Artistic Hair Salon Plaza was able to rent all of its salon suites except its chair suite, which remains available.

Atlee falls to Princess Anne in 5A tourney By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor NORFOLK – Atlee had a steep hill to climb when it faced six-time state champion Princess Anne in the quarterfinals of the Virginia High School League Group 5A girls basketball tournament Friday at Old Dominion University’s Ted Constant Center. The hill got much steeper after the opening buzzer when Cavaliers tore out of the gate on a 24-0 run. The Raiders, despite the efforts of Ashley Weaver with 11 points and Alyse Armentrout – who just missed a triple-double with 8 points, 18 rebounds and 13 blocks – could not catch up and eventually fell to a muchdeeper Princess Anne team 7324. While the loss was disappointing, it was a big accomplishment for the Raiders – who began the season 2-9 – to be one of the final eight teams playing in the state. “Coming into the season, we didn’t know we were actually going to be in the states, honestly,” said Atlee head coach Michael Rawlings. “To make it here, it actually kind of sets a standard for the team to know that we can at least get to this level. So it lends the girls a challenge, not just to get here, but then to see if we can compete.” Atlee had taken a drub-

with 10. Atlee hurt itself in other areas, such as it field goal percentage: the Raiders only converted 22.2 percent of their field goals compared to 41.7 percent for Princess Anne. Even if they had matched the Cavaliers field goal percentage, though, they still would have been at a disadvantage. Princess Anne had 72 field goal attempts compared to just 45 for the Raiders. The Cavaliers also had 26 steals compared to just four for Atlee. “We weren’t at a height disadvantage today,” Rawlings said. “We were at a speed, ball-handling disadvantage. … Their bench was a lot deeper than ours, so to speak. Their ballhandling was better and they were tenacious. “My girls are nice, kind – things of that nature – and they can shoot OK, but we need to put some of that alley cat in them, so to speak, so that when it comes time to get into a really tight game against a tough opponent, that we’re ready to go to battle.” Atlee will have some Dave Lawrence/The Local rebuilding to do, as it will be Princess Anne’s Xaria Wiggins (33) beats Atlee’s Alyse Armentrout (12) to the rebound in the Cavaliers’ 73-24 victory over the losing Weaver and fellow startRaiders in a VHSL Group 5A girls basketball quarterfinal at Old Dominion University’s Ted Constant Center Friday. er Jennifer Weigle to graduabing at the hands of Highland Highland Springs run of 26 Armentrout, they had more compared to just four of the tion.

Naumann helps Hornets to first ODAC title By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The Lynchburg College’s women’s basketball team had a groundbreaking year this year, winning its first Old Dominion Conference championship and earning its first appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament. A sophomore from Mechanicsville played a key role in the Hornets’ success. Caroline Naumann, who played high school basketball at Lee-Davis before transferring to St. Catherine’s, racked up double-doubles in each of the Hornets’ three ODAC tournament games en route to earning ODAC Most Outstanding Player and U.S. Basketball Writers Association Division III Women’s Basketball National Player of the Week honors. “This past week has been, definitely, an incredible experience, and one that I’m particularly honored to be sharing with the group of girls and the coaches that I have,” Naumann said. “I think that, just going into the tournament, we were just so excited, and we put in all the work and did all the necessary things to go in feeling good about things and confident.” Naumann, who averaged 10.6 points and 7.9 rebounds per game during the regular season, had 17 points and 11 rebounds in Lynchburg’s 73-51 win over Virginia Wesleyan in

Mechanicsville’s Caroline Naumann (45), shown here in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference final against Guilford on Feb. 28, earned ODAC Most Outstanding Player and U.S. Basketball Writers Association Division III National Player of the Week honors after helping lead the Hornets to their first ODAC title and first appearance in the NCAA Division III tournament.

the ODAC quarterfinals. She had 16 points and 14 rebounds in the Hornets 71-57 win over Washingon & Lee in the semifinals. She finished with 15 points and 17 rebounds in Lynchburg’s 62-55 win over Guilford in the ODAC championship game. It wasn’t all work for the Naumann and the rest of the

Hornets in the ODAC tournament. “It was a very fun experience,” Naumann said. “I think that’s always very important – to have fun while you’re playing as well. And then winning – I can’t describe that. That’s the best feeling ever, especially coming from last year.”

Last year, Lynchburg advanced to the ODAC final, where it narrowly lost to Virginia Wesleyan 59-57 in the final seconds. While it was a heartbreaker for the team, it showed Hornets head coach Abby Pyzik Smith something special was coming. “I remember sitting in my athletic director’s office at the end of the year and I said, ‘We’re going to be better than we were this year,’ ” Pyzik Smith said. “I was very confident in that. … I knew our freshmen from that year – Caroline and Olivia [DeFrancesco], who both start – would be sophomores and have a year of experience. I knew we would be very balanced in what we had to do. And so I was

really, really excited.” Naumann had a lot to learn in making the transition from high school to college basketball. “It’s a very big transition, first of all, going to college. That’s huge,” Naumann said. “But going to college and also playing a sport at another level, from the things we have to deal with to the time we have to manage … it’s a very different game. “It’s a fast-paced game. It’s a very tight-knit system that we run. We are so focused and we move so well with each other that it’s very difficult to really get into the system. But once you do, it’s absolutely amazing.” Pyzik Smith said Naumann,

a 6-foot-tall forward, brings a lot of versatility to the team. “We can go inside to Caroline. She has really found her niche on the block to go with her back to the basket,” Pyzik Smith said. “She can drive to the basket. She has a stepback, mid-range [shot]. She has a 3-point shot. … “One of the hardest adjustments in college is the defensive side of the ball, and she defends, probably, their quickest post player every single time and is really invested in our scout and studying the game. She just has it all and I don’t even know if she knows she has it all.” Prior to the start of the NCAA tournament, Naumann was very aware of the legacy this year’s Hornets team was leaving for future teams. “We are the first to come here,” Naumann said. “I think that’s very special, because I know how many people who have gone through this program, and they have put in their work and they have left their mark, and that we are going to push that mark a little bit further. Now we have wound up here.” Lynchburg season ended in the first round of the NCAA tournament in a 56-50 loss to Birmingham-Southern University at Maryville College in Maryville, Tennessee. Despite the disappointment of a quick exit, nothing can take away from the Hornets’ – and Naumann’s – spectacular season. “Doing something for the first time is really special,” Pyzik Smith said. “There never will be another team that does that. A lot of people have helped us get to this point to be able to be successful. We want to make it an expectation in our program, and our players know that.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
