Laurel Meadow fifth grader gets ready to ‘jump’ to seventh grade

S

ence. “It was ultimately her decision,” Sami’s mom said.

Her parents said they told Sami, “Do what you want and she weighed the factors, the pros, the cons. She talked a lot about leaving her friends and how it would make her feel.”

When Sami realized she would have the summer months and time when she isn’t in school to spend with her friends, she said yes to going into the seventh grade.

Miki also pointed out that the Laurel Meadow counselor, Shelley Cray, was instrumental in Sami’s journey to getting double promoted. She said Cray “genuinely supported and encouraged her.”

“Mrs. Cray was sincerely interested in Samantha’s progress and was a champion and mentor for her from the start. She challenged Sami to do her very best and congratulated her on her accomplishments along the way,” Miki said.

When Sami was 7, she was accepted into the Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth.

According to Miki, in order to be accepted, she had to demonstrate her academic ability through a series of challenging tests to comprehend material up to a sixth grade level. She surpassed that goal as she was just entering the second grade.

The Greenes attend Atlee Community Church and Miki said she put her trust in God when the conversations first started in September.

“I walked into the office of the principal and He (God) gave me the words, ‘Sure, why not?’ ” The 11-year-old is interested in engineering and robotics, having built her first robot when she was 9.

“She just builds and rebuilds robot after robot,” Miki said.

“She codes them.”

Sami is quick to say that her life isn’t all about studies though. She enjoys riding horses, taking Tae Kwon Do classes (she has a brown belt), playing video games that involve engineering and logic, bowling, and creating Lego mine storms in robotics.

In the third and fourth grades, she had a leadership role as the class representative, and in fifth grade she was a Kindergarten Ambassador, where she would help the kindergarten teacher she was assigned to every morning and at the end of the school day.

“I would help her get ready for the beginning of the day and the end of the day. I read to them [the students].

It’s a mentorship program. Many fifth graders want to do it. They choose about six or seven. It’s a very rigorous program,” Sami said.

amantha “Sami” Greene knew she would be starting middle school in the fall, but what she recently discovered was that she would not be going from the fifth grade to the sixth. She has been chosen for a double grade promotion, meaning she will skip the sixth and become a seventh grader at Stonewall Jackson Middle School.

A straight A student, Sami has excelled in all her subjects, especially math. She has participated in the Gifted and Talent program since she was in kindergarten. When she was placed in the program, she was listed under the title of Academically Gifted.

She said her favorite subjects are math and science – “I really like science,” she said.

And, because of her advanced knowledge, she was accepted into the Compacted Math program as a fourth grader.

Her command of mathematics is such that she will be taking Algebra 1 in the 2016-2017 school year.

Sami is skipping over seventh grade math and Pre-Algebra.

Alicia Broughton, the Gifted and Talented teacher at LMES, agreed that Sami be reviewed for a possible double grade promotion.

The decision was one that involved Sami’s parents. Her mom, Miki, said, “We came in and talked to them; it was a random conversation about the whole Algebra thing, which is usually taken in high school. After we got that settled, we started talking about what is in sixth grade. There wasn’t really anything challenging for her.”

Broughton and Karen Carpenter, principal, explained the parents need to request that the process begin.

After months of testing and social workers meeting with them, Miki said, “They complete all of their data and we meet and talk about the pros and cons.

They were fine with her moving on, and left it up to her.”

As for Sami, she said her reaction was “Absolutely. Why wouldn’t I? It was like saying, ‘Do you want to get promoted in a job or do you not want to get promoted?’ ” After the process was completed, Miki said they agreed “There wasn’t any reason to keep her back.

She needed to move on.”

Miki said she and her husband Keith were appreciative of the support school leaders provided in allowing Sami to determine the next step in her classroom experiSAMANTHA ‘SAMI’ GREENE

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

HCPS graduates get ready for the big day A few weeks ago, we wrote about the Class of 2016 in Hanover County Public Schools (Atlee, Hanover, Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry high schools) and what an exciting time it is for the graduates.

Well, their day is upon them. Starting at 8:30 a.m. Saturday, June 18, Hanover seniors will cross the stage, receive their diplomas, and officially enter adulthood as they prepare for the next big chapter in their lives. The schedule follows with: Patrick Henry, noon; Atlee, 3:30 p.m.; and LeeDavis, 7 p.m. As is tradition, all commencement exercises are conducted in the Siegel Center on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of HCPS, will deliver the commencement address.

(Note: The list of all graduates and Gill’s speech will appear in next week’s addition, along with lots and lots of photos.)

With each year, and despite my age, there’s a certain spark to graduation time and an excitement that is infectious. We celebrate our students and wish them all the best in the journey ahead.

Our school division is considered one of the best, so take that knowledge and pursue your dreams. This is just the beginning.

We share your enthusiasm and are proud of your accomplishments. We appreciate the cooperation of the honor graduates and those involved in helping us to spread the word about their achievements.

To the Class of 2016, reach for that star and don’t let anything hold you back. Godspeed.

Bucket list has some additions Call it an epiphany if you will. But, for some reason, the decision was made last week to refresh my skills in speaking Spanish and to learn German. Why, you ask? Well, I did well in Spanish class for three years in .. high school and my father’s family (Kuenzer) has roots in Germany. Adios and Auf Wiedersehen.

Opportunity has knocked again

By Patrick Gordon News Editor Almost exactly one year ago, I moved from Massachusetts to Richmond. For me, it was a time of relative uncertainty. I had only visited Virginia a couple times, and knew very little about the area or what it would be like to live here.

I was fortunate enough to get a job with Richmond Suburban News, where I’ve been working as the content manager for the weekly papers in Chesterfield and Henrico counties.

In the time that I’ve been here, I’ve had the opportunity to report on a plethora of fascinating events. From a water skiing squirrel to NASCAR races to local festivals to nationally-ranked high school athletes, I’ve covered a

wide variety of fascinating stories.

More importantly, I’ve talked to a lot of people and learned a lot about the area that I now call home.

Now, I’m beginning a new chapter once again as I take over as news editor for The Mechanicsville Local, The Hanover Local and The King William Local. I’m excited that I’ll have the chance to spend time in new counties, meet new people, and learn new stories.

I’ve already been out and about in Hanover and King William counties, covering events associated with Hanover County Public Schools and government for King William. I also had the privilege of taking in my first Ashland Strawberry Faire, and, yes, my calendar is marked for the Hanover Tomato Festival.

As I begin my time here, I urge you to contact me whenever you have any suggestions for ways to make this paper better, or if you think there are more ways that it can help serve the community. My contact information is pgordon@mechlocal.com, 804775-4608 (office) and 804-205-6774 (mobile). I’m always open to news tips, suggestions and community input.

I look forward to meeting many of our readers, whether it’s at a meeting or an event around the county. If you see me, don’t hesitate to say hello and introduce yourself.

So far, I’ve noticed that Hanover and King William counties are a bit different from Richmond and its immediately surrounding counties, where see OPPORTUNITY, pg. 8

Memories we have that don’t fade

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist After 55 years, one would assume memories of your father would fade and eventually become only bits and pieces in a brain filled with numerous past events and people. ... But it doesn’t work that way.

Rarely a day passes when I don’t think of my father, and, on the best of days, I can still hear his voice. I still recall the routine of our constant life together provided, and the lessons I learned from him without realizing it at the time.

My earliest memories of my dad revolve around his love of sports, and his determined efforts to pass that devotion to this son. The old photos confirm my memories as a small 3-year-old boy snaps the ball to his father still clad in white shirt and tie from work.

It wasn’t an unusual occurrence. If it was baseball season, he would retrieve his old flattened leather mitt from the tool shed. I could never understand how he could catch with that old-fashioned glove, but I don’t recall him missing many.

But his real passion was football, and I would rush home after school, gather up the old worn leather football, and wait for his car to appear at the end of our street.

Since it was a daily occurrence, he was well aware of what was waiting for him every day after work, and time before dinner was often spent with endless passes and

kicks in the front yard.

His arm was never too tired to throw the perfect spirals that came so hard they hurt, and he was never too tired from a trying day at work to refuse my advances, often made before he could get out of the car.

My mother would yell at me from an open kitchen window, “Let him at least come in the house and rest a second,” but I never did. He didn’t seem to mind.

The only thing that stopped our game was dinner or darkness.

Besides the obvious benefits he passed on like knowing how to catch a football or throw a baseball, he also instilled see MEMORIES, pg. 8

Insurance agent receives company’s highest honor

OPPORTUNITY Continued from pg. 6

I’ve spent much of the past year.

While I enjoyed Chesterfield and Henrico immensely, this comes as a welcome change.

I can already tell that Hanover and King William residents are passionate about their counties.

I hope to see many more of you as I continue to become a visible – and hopefully welcome – face in your community. And that’s what we’re all about here: community.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Virginia Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Co. has honored Hanover County Farm Bureau insurance agent Debbie Murphy with its 2016 Ralph Stokes Award.

The award is the top recognition given annually by VFBMIC to an agent who has a high degree of integrity, offers Farm Bureau members excellent service and has earned the respect of his or her peers. The award was named after Ralph Stokes, a former Farm Bureau agent, who was known for his motivation and high level of customer service.

HCSO

The Ralph Stokes Award was established in 1986, the same year Stokes retired after selling insurance for 32 years.

“For more than 30 years, Debbie has been a consummate professional, working long hours to ensure her members understand their insurance coverage and their needs are met, all while supporting her family and community,” said Ray Leonard, VFBMIC vice president of sales.

David Wettack, an agent at Scott County Farm Bureau, was recognized as the first runner-up. Wettack has “worked hard for Farm Bureau insurance customers in Scott County for more than 25 years and is a wonderful

games, and we only heard the Crimson Tide at a barely audible level for brief periods between the static.

When I was a little boy, I remember my parents taking me to a Maryland-Alabama game in Baltimore. His excitement at finally getting to witness the team first-hand was unapologetic and not hidden well.

Following the game and the serious beating Maryland

put on the visitors, he wasn’t as happy, but just being there somehow made the misery of defeat more tolerable.

Unfortunately, he didn’t live long enough to watch Alabama recapture the grandeur of the past and return to national prominence on the football field, so I’ve assumed his role as the number one fan north of Atlanta.

It’s one of the many things in my life that brings me joy

that I attribute to a man who made a huge difference in a short period of time, and confirmed something I still know today. It’s not quantity, it’s quality that really counts.

I especially thought about him last January when Alabama captured another national title on the football field and could almost hear his cheering voice.

The plays on that field that day dazzled millions of view-

ers and impacted the national college football scene. In my mind, they were no more or no less important that those passes I caught many years ago in the front yard from a man who still garners the love and respect of a son who loves and respects him no less than those wonderful days almost 55 years ago.

Lucky to have him for those 10 short years? You bet I was.

Fish was the word of the day when the Hanover Parks and Recreation Department, with their mascot Taylor, hosted Taylor’s Pirate FishingFUN event at Courthouse Park. Reeling ’em in with determination was among the expressions of participants.

Fishing event was fun for all Cloudy skies and a chance of rain did not keep little anglers from enjoying the lake Saturday, June 4, at Courthouse Park.

The rain never came and the clouds broke to a sunny evening.

Over 100people tried their skills at catching the big one. Some came prepared with their own fishing poles, while some had to borrow gear, either way it was a great experience for all that attended.

ASHLAND/WESTERN HANOVER | Also serving the communities of Montpelier, Beaverdam, Rockville and Doswell

Center officially opening farmers’ market tomorrow

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MONTPELIER – The Montpelier Center for Arts and Education has been known for quite some time as a hub of activities, the heart of the community.

Starting tomorrow, the Center, located at 17205 Mountain Rd., is taking on a new role by providing a farmers’ market.

Amanda Gardner, adminis-

trative assistant, said the market will officially open Thursday, June 16. Hours will be from 4

to 7 p.m. every Thursday.

Theater update set this evening ASHLAND — Ashland business owners, residents and community organizations are invited to attend an Ashland Main Street/Town Update at 6:30 p.m. today (Wednesday, June 15) at the Ashland Theater.

The meeting will feature a PowerPoint presentation focused on four main topics: Ashland Theater renovation project.

Current Main Street initiatives.

Other town projects and initiatives.

Time will be allotted to respond to any questions or suggestions.

According to Hugh Joyce, board president, and Tom Wulf, executive director, the primary goal of the Ashland Main Street program is to drive greater eco-

“We just finished a strategic plan that’s going to take us through 2017,” Gardner said.

“One of the goals in the strategic plan is for responding to the community needs, so I guess in that effort we wanted

to create a program that would cultivate connections and maintain a community hub, where members of the community could meet every week and also have a resource that’s locally focused,” she added.

at approximately 3:45 p.m. before the start of the market,” she said.

According to Gardner, board members and vendors will be on hand for the opening.

Most consider the Center a sophisticated venue, with weddings, galas, art exhibits and receptions among the events staged there, so why did the board of directors decide to go the route of a farmers’ market?

ASHLAND — The Sgt. Harry V. Smeeman Award was presented to Officer Scott Neussle Tuesday, June 7, during the regular meeting of Ashland Town Council.

Smeeman was Ashland’s first town sergeant, which is the position now known as Chief of Police. He was killed in the line of duty in 1929. The award named in his honor is presented annually to recognize those who exhibit qualities of leadership among the Ashland Police Department.

Ashland Police Chief Doug Goodman praised Officer Neussle for his unfailing dedication to the department and willingness to go above and beyond in order to serve whenever he’s needed.

“This year’s award winner epitomizes dependability, reliability and sheer dedication to

“Survivor Day” is presented by CVEMA with funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

With tomorrow’s opening, Gardner said they “have a good group of vendors that are signed up for the summer already, and many are based in Montpelier and Beaverdam.”

The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting dates: If the crop has not been planted by the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed.

If a producer acquires additional acreage after the above acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after the purchase or acquiring the lease.

Neussle’s clearance rate in 2015 was 70.6 percent. “That’s pretty amazing,” he said. “The national average hovers around 50 percent. I could not be more pleased to work with him on a daily basis.”

Council also voted to change the schedule time of the Aug. 2 meeting to 7:30 p.m. in order to accommodate National Night Out and allow council members to participate in the annual public safety campaign.

In other business, Francis & Sons Plumbing was recognized and congratulated in an official resolution by town council for 50 years of business in the Town of Ashland.

Several council members, including Mayor George Spagna, praised the work that had been done at their houses over the years by Francis & Sons. The company has served thousands of Ashland residents in its half-century of business in the town. It also was praised

for supporting the community in the form of contributions to local organizations and nonprofits.

Charles H. Francis, who purchased the business in January 1966, received the honor along with his sons, Charles and James Francis.

A new career development program was announced for the Public Works Department.

It will allow employees a clearly outlined path for advancement within the department.

located at the Center, there will be an activity during the farmers’ market that will be focused on children. Gardner described that as “exciting.”

There also will be Master Gardeners on-site doing demonstrations and answering questions.

Gardner is quick to say, “There will be all kinds of things going on.”

The season will run June 16 through Oct. 20 in the lawn area beside the parking lot.

It’s not too late to become a part of the farmers’ market.

“We’re still accepting vendors, farmers, artisans, crafters, all

kinds of vendors,” Gardner said. “Right now, we have several that are produce-focused, landscaped perennial typefocused.” She also pointed out that a vendor will be selling soaps.

In addition to welcoming more vendors, the Center is seeking volunteers to help at the market. “Or, if somebody is a musical performer and wants to perform at the market, we’re looking to have live music,” Gardner said.

“We welcome any interest in the market.”

The goal, Gardner said, is “to bring a resource to this

end of the county and have the community take part in a market like this.”

ROANOKE — The American Red Cross has steps people should take now to get ready for hurricane season, which runs June 1 to Nov. 30.

Hurricanes cause problems for people in coastal areas. But these storms also can cause damage hundreds of miles inland.

“These are dangerous storms that can affect people living here in Virginia,” said Reginald E. Gordon, CEO for the American Red Cross Virginia Region. “It’s time to get ready now, before a storm threatens.”

Build an emergency kit with a gallon of water per person, per day, non-perishable food, a flashlight, battery-powered radio, first aid kit, medications, supplies for an infant if applicable, a multi-purpose tool, personal hygiene items, copies of important papers, cell phone chargers, extra cash, blankets, maps of the area and emergency contact information. Many of these items are available through the Red Cross Store at redcrossstore. org.

Talk with household members and create an evacuation plan. Practicing the plan minimizes confusion and fear during the event.

Be informed. Learn about the community’s hurricane response plan. Plan routes to local shelters, register family members with special medical needs as required and make plans for pets.

County-operated Cannery opening July 1 The Parsons’ Cause to ASHLAND — July signifies the opening of canning season. Canning, the old practice of preserving fruits and vegetables has traditionally been done in the home.

Hanover County has a Cannery that also operates as a commercial kitchen where residents, non-residents and commercial customers may process their produce on commercial-grade equipment.

The Hanover County Cannery, located at 12491 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, opens on Friday, July 1. It will be open Mondays (including July 4), Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays in July and August.

The Cannery will be open on Saturdays in September and October.

On Mondays during these months, processing can take place between 4 and 7 p.m. (the cannery closes at midnight on Mondays). On the other days of the week,

processing can take place between 8:30 and 10 a.m., with the Cannery closing at 3 p.m.

The canning process must begin during these designated times in order to have the process completed by the Cannery closing time. Processes that take longer than the average of five hours must be approved in advance by the Cannery Supervisor. To check on the availability before you travel, call the Cannery Supervisor. The Cannery supervisor’s number is 804-365-6484.

For Hanover County residents, the cost is $1.17 a can or .30 cents a jar. For those who do not live in Hanover County, the charge is $1.32 per can and .40 cents per jar. You must bring your own jars.

Additional charges apply for use of the kettle, blancher or corn machine.

Commercial customers are encour-

aged to set up an appointment with the Cannery supervisor.

If you are interested in learning how to can, you are invited to sign up for a canning vegetables class. These classes will be held at 6 p.m. July 5, 12 and 19.

HCSO taking part in SHIELD initiative

Mechanicsville Ruritans give donations Tom Haynie/The Local

Members of the Mechanicsville Ruritan Club recently distributed donations during their regular monthly breakfast meeting. Shown are, from left, Barry Shalowitz, treasurer, Ruritans; Everett Winn, assistant scoutmaster, Boy Scout Troop 544; Sharlene Goldsberry of the Longest family; and Earl Boswell, president of Henry Volunteer Fire Station 6. Linda Tiller, executive director, and Laura Oliveria of Hanover Habitat for Humanity also were recipients of a donation.

The Mechanicsville Ruritan Club expressed its thanks to Troop 544 of Shady Grove United Methodist Church, the Longest family and the Henry VFD as their guests June 3 at Cold Harbor Restaurant. Representatives from Henry Volunteer Fire Department, the Boy Scouts and the Longest family were treated to breakfast and given checks for their hard work in the community and for the Mechanicsville Ruritans. A check will be presented to Habitat For Humanity. “Without the help and support of volunteers like these, our Shuknpul event, or our directory, couldn’t be pulled off,” Shalowitz said. “It’s these events that enable us to present checks today.” The Mechanicsville Ruritans have given away over $500,000 in scholarships, donation, and contributions since 1982. The club provides three scholarships to area high school seniors. The money for the scholarships and the donations comes from the club’s annual oyster roast and tractor pull, called the Shuknpul, and the advertising sales from the Mechanicsville Business Directory. The Business Directory is published and delivered by the Mechanicsville Ruritans in February and the Mechanicsville Ruritan Shuknpul was held In early April this year. Plans for next year’s event are already in the planning stages. The recipients of this year’s Mechanicsville Ruritan Club Scholarships are: Atlee High School, Emily Fulk, the Clay Woody Scholarship; Hanover High School, Samantha Kirby, the Charles Longest Scholarship; and Lee-Davis High School, Allison Woods, the Al Randal Scholarship.

The YADAPP conference is set for July 18-22 at Longwood

For more than three decades, enthusiastic teams of Virginia youth have convened for a week in the summer to brainstorm ways to inspire their peers to keep their schools and communities alcohol free.

Dixon and Bashaw are mong the youth from around the state who will volunteer their time and concerted efforts to lead this year’s conference.

“The safety of Virginia’s emergency responders, safety services patrollers, highway maintenance crews and wrecker drivers depends on the actions of every motorist traveling on our highways,” said Col. Flaherty. “All we ask

is for drivers to avoid distractions, be alert and move over as you pass us and our flashing lights on the side of the road.”

Virginia’s Move Over law, established in 2002, requires drivers to either move over a lane or, when unable to, to cautiously pass all emergency personnel with blue and red flashing lights — law enforcement, firefighters, and rescue — stopped on the side of a road.

Ecstasy and agony for county teams

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Seven county athletic teams made it to the Virginia High School League’ spring state championship tournaments last week.

Of those seven, four made it to their respective state finals.

Of those four, two — Atlee’s softball team and Hanover’s baseball team — returned to Mechanicsville Saturday as state champions.

Atlee’s softball team had

to go through crosstown rival Lee-Davis to earn a chance for its second straight Group 5A title. The Raiders defeated the Confederates 7-1 Friday and won the title with a 5-0 victory over Hickory Saturday.

Hanover’s baseball team won its third state title in four straight appearances in a state tournament with a wild 1312 victory over private school powerhouse Liberty Christian Academy Saturday.

To get their stories — and more — turn the page.

Hawks keep it interesting in third title win

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor LYNCHBURG — Hanover looked like it had the VHSL Group 4A baseball championship sewn up … until the sixth inning. Then things got interesting.

The Hawks took a sixrun lead into the sixth against Liberty Christian Academy, but the wheels seemed to come off the Hanover defense and the Bulldogs scored eight runs to go on top. Hanover regained the edge with six runs in the bottom of the inning, but an undaunted Liberty Christian chewed into the Hanover lead in the top of the seventh.

The Bulldogs could only chew so much, however, and a Hanover reliever – a senior who had missed his junior because of an injury and surgery – made a stand.

Tyler Morgan, in the most important and final appearance of his high-school career, got Richard De La Cruz to strike out swinging to save a 13-12 victory for Hanover for the school’s third championship in four years.

“For me to come out and pitch my last game ever is really breathtaking,” said Morgan, who had Tommy John surgery in the spring of his junior year.

“It feels great to be here pitching the last out.”

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Top, Hanover’s Camden Grimes singles in a run in a stunning sixth-inning comeback in the Hawks’ 13-12 victory over Liberty Christian Academy in the VHSL Group 4A baseball championship game at Liberty University Saturday. Bottom left, The Hawks form a dogpile on top of pitcher Tyler Morgan after Morgan saves the day. Bottom right, Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum (23) signals for baserunner Nolan Caler to hold at third base while Grey Lyttle (17) and Hayden Moore (2) score on a Jacob Weis double.

Both teams had their share of defensive miscues on the afternoon. The length of the game – 4 hours, 24 minutes – and the heat radiating off Liberty University’s artificial-

turf surface may have taken a toll on defenders.

“I felt maybe we got a little tight and misplayed some balls that we probably should have handled,” said Hanover head

coach Charlie Dragum. “But you’ve got to give a lot of credit to LCA. They can swing the bats, and they kept having a lot of good, quality at-bats. They made it tough on us.”

The sixth-inning fireworks began with a leadoff double by De La Cruz to start the inning.

One out later, back-to-back singles by Pearce Howard and Zack Hess drove in De La Cruz and moved Howard to third base – and chased Hanover

starter Hayden Moore in favor of reliever John Gregory, who shut down a Kettle Run rally in the semifinals the day before.

But Gregory walked Hunter Johnson. A botched pickoff attempt allowed Howard to score and Hess to reach third.

Another Hawk error allowed Kyle Horton to reach first and brought in Hess to cut Hanover’s lead to 7-4. Noah Crook singled in Johnson – and Gregory yielded the Hanover pitcher’s

mound to Jack Dragum.

Dragum got Connor Johnson to fly out to center, but the next batter, Garret Price, dropped a single just out of reach in right field and Horton and Crook scored. De La Cruz returned to the plate to hit a long fly ball that bounced over the center field fence for a ground rule double and the go-ahead RBI when Price scored from second. Wesley Clarke singled in De La Cruz to make it 9-7 Liberty Christian. Dragum got Howard – the 12th Bulldog batter that inning – to fly out retire the side.

Many teams would have folded after blowing a large lead late in the game, but the Hawks had plenty of fight left in them, and responded without much prodding from the Hanover coaching staff.

“I was really bummed. I was kind of feeling sorry for myself, and the kids picked it right back up,” Dragum said. “They took care of it themselves. We really didn’t say anything. We said, ‘Now it’s time to put up or shut up,’ and they came out and just ground it out at bats. It was awesome.”

The Hanover sixth began, however, with a groundout, but Grey Lyttle walked. Moore singled and Nolan Caler walked to load the bases. Jacob Weis doubled in Lyttle and Moore to even the score at 9-9.

A Liberty Christian error allowed Hunter Marshall to reach first and brought home Caler – giving the Hawks the lead for good. Weis scored and Marshall advanced to third on a wild pitch, and Dragum walked.

The Bulldogs then went to their fifth pitcher of the game, Zach Fuqua, who started his tenure by giving up back-tosee HAWKS, pg. 41

Former Hawk standout drafted by Cardinals

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – For Hanover High School baseball standout Andrew Knizner, now a junior catcher at North Carolina State, was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the seventh round of the Major League Baseball draft Friday.

Knizner was the 226th player selected.

In an Instagram post Sunday, Knizner indicated he will join the Cardinals organization.

“So excited to begin my professional baseball career with the St. Louis Cardinals!!

Thankful for the opportunity to chase my dream!” it said.

back RBI singles by Camden Grimes and Gregory that scored Marshall and Dragum, respectively. Liberty Christian intentionally walked Cayman Richardson – in his second appearance at the plate that inning – and Fuqua struck out Lyttle and got Moore to ground out to first to end the inning after 12 Hawk batters stepped up to the plate.

The Bulldogs were down, but not out – especially after their leadoff batter, Hess, survived a misplayed pop-up in foul territory. Hess fouled off a number of Dragum pitches before connecting for a single.

Johnson followed with a single and Horton walked to load the bases with no outs.

It was time for a change, and Morgan was the last Hanover pitcher standing – the fourth to get the call in the title game.

He had only pitched a handful of innings this season when stepped up on the mound.

career at third base. He earned Collegiate Baseball’s Freshman All-America honors at that position.

He was then switched to catcher. While it was not an easy transition, his .317 batting average, 32 runs, 10 doubles, five home runs and 42 RBIs earned him a slot on the Louisville Slugger Preseason All-America third team.

This year Knizner, with a 3.98 grade-point average, earned CoSIDA Academic AllAmerican honors – the fourth Wolfpack player in program history to earn such honors.

“That would mean a lot to see all my hard work on the field and off the field kind of pay off,” Knizner said after

learning he was eligible for the Academic All-American award.

“That’s a huge honor and hopefully I can bring that back for myself, for my team and also for the university.”

On the field, he finished the season with a .991 fielding percentage, with 395 put-outs. He stopped 16 of 37 stolen base attempts. He batted .292, with 40 runs, five doubles, six home runs and 30 RBIs. He earned 21 bases on balls, was hit-bypitch six times and struck out 36 times.

“I knew I had to go in there and get it done,” Morgan said.

“I went in there throwing heat.

I suppose I hit 91 [miles per hour]. I don’t know. I wasn’t looking. My curve ball was working.”

Morgan’s outing did not begin well. A dropped ball in the outfield allowed Hess and Johnson to score and Crook – the potentially tying run – to reach first. A passed ball allowed another run to score and Crook to advance to second.

Morgan got a break on the next batter, Austin, hit himself while bunting and was called out for interference. Price, at the top of Bulldog batting order, hit a deep fly to center for the second out. Then it was just Morgan and De La Cruz, and Morgan bore down.

“They had to get a base hit, and I wasn’t going to let that happen,” Morgan said. “I balled up and stuck to it, and ended up throwing some nice pitches. … I had him 0-2. He was shaking – he didn’t know what was coming. I thought a curve ball was coming, but no, [catcher

Hanover 2, Kettle Run 1 LYNCHBURG – The Hawks struggled through some errors, but repeatedly scrapped their way out of jams to earn a 2-1 victory over Kettle Run in a VHSL Group 4A semifinal at Liberty University Friday.

A trio of Hawk pitchers allowed just one run – unearned – in seven innings of work. Starter Grey Lyttle gave Hanover a 2-0 lead before leaving after five and one-third innings. John Gregory got the Hawks out of the sixth inning and Hayden Moore closed the seventh for the save.

“Grey pitched really good, then Johnny came in behind him and threw fantastic and then Hayden saved us – he’s done a good job,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum.

“We just made a few blunders there in the field, but we did enough to win. We’re still playing.”

Lyttle said he knew he had to get the job done, no matter

what.

“I didn’t feel like I had my best stuff, but when it comes to this time of year, it doesn’t matter. You’ve just got to go out and grind,” Lyttle said. “We have nine seniors who have been playing together for the rest of our lives, and I wasn’t going to let control issues be the reason why we had to go home a day short.”

Lyttle gave up three hits and

walked five – one intentionally – and struck out four.

“He battled. He just kept fighting,” Dragum said of Lyttle’s performance. “That’s all you can ask. That’s what we needed to do, have him go five – and he did, with the lead.

That’s all we wanted.”

Gregory faced two batters, striking out one.

Hanover scored two runs in the third inning. Jacob

Weis opened with a single and reached second on an error.

He was sacrificed to third by Hunter Marshall and singled home by Jack Dragum. One out later, Dragum moved to second on a Gregory single and scored on another single by Cayman Richardson.

The only Kettle Run score came on Moore’s watch in the seventh, but it was unearned, with one error allowing the Cougars’ Tyler Bianco to stretch a single out for one more base, and another allowing him to remain at third after an apparent tag. Bianco scored on a groundout to short, then Moore struck out the next two Kettle Run batters to earn the save and end the game.

The final strikeout – looking – was especially satisfying.

“That was great – memories!,” Moore said. “I love coming in and saving the game, and that last strikeout just makes me feel even more better. I love it!”

Raiders power way to second straight title

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch FAIRFAX — To help the Atlee softball team stay loose and relaxed before games this season, junior shortstop Casey Barrett danced.

To help the Raiders win two games and repeat as state champions, she hit home runs.

Barrett hit her second homer in as many days, leading the Raiders to a 5-0 win over Hickory in the 5A state championship Saturday at Robinson Secondary School. It’s Atlee’s second consecutive state title.

Barrett, who has committed to Virginia Tech, followed Friday’s three-run homer with a solo, leadoff shot in the second inning Saturday to give Atlee a 1-0 lead. She also drove in a run with a single in the fifth.

Erin O’Flaherty bunted in Raine Wilson, and Barrett scored when Riley Satterwhite reached on an error in the fourth to put the Raiders up 30. Barrett’s RBI in the fifth made it 4-0 and Atlee posted its fifth run on Mallorie Fodill’s RBI double in the seventh.

Junior starting pitcher Peyton St. George allowed three hits and struck out eight to pick up her second state title-game win in as many years in a shutout.

“I saw the pitch coming. It was just like yesterday,” Barrett said.

And the dancing?

“I try to get everyone fired up,” she said. “I really think it’s a way to stay loose and remind us to have fun. I think that’s what we did, and we just went out there and played our game, and it was awesome.”

“That’s something she’s done, that’s who that kid is,” said Tom McIntyre, Atlee’s first-year coach. “We play better loose.

Our whole team plays (better)

loose and she’s the epitome of that.

“The mistake that people would make is to see her and think she’s not dialed in and not focused. She’s loose when it’s time to be loose and she’s dialed in when it’s time to be dialed in.

“Unbelievable to watch that kid work.”

McIntyre called Barrett’s home run a game-changer.

“When she turned that bat and that thing ran over the fence, the entire game changed on that swing,” he said.

Wilson agreed.

“She the energy girl,” Wilson said. “We talk about it a lot, me and her. We were on the way here on the bus and I said, ‘Come off this bus with energy.

Come off this bus with intensity, and I’m not saying be hard as stone and walk around like this is the most important day of your life. No. You’ve just got to dance. You’ve got to have fun.’

Atlee thwarts Lee-Davis in semifinal

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch FAIRFAX — Raine Wilson and Casey Barrett each hit three-run homers, Peyton St. George surrendered a run on three hits and the Raiders defeated Hanover County rival Lee-Davis 7-1 on Friday in the Group 5A semifinals at Robinson Secondary School.

“You can’t really put this into words,” said Wilson, the catcher and a James Madison University commit. “It’s just an incredible feeling, to know that we put in all the work and it’s worth something, and it measures all the work we’ve put in all year.

But we’re not satisfied with this. see ATLEE, pg. 44

Atlee boys lacrosse season ends in heartbreak

By Laura Fien Richmond Times-Dispatch

because it makes my job easier when they get up to Atlee.”

BURKE — Some things are not worth repeating. Just ask the Atlee boys lacrosse team.

Atlee lost to Briar Woods 9-8 in overtime in the 5A state final at Lake Braddock on Saturday a year after a one-goal, state-final loss to Stone Bridge.

“It’s not a good feeling,” Atlee coach Fielding Crawford said about losing by one goal two years in a row. “I think that when they play with how they are capable of playing, the sky is the limit, and the sky was just one goal too short today. I think going into next season we will be ready to work.”

The good news for Atlee is the Raiders will return six starters, including junior Dylan Rice, who had four goals and one assist against the Falcons.

“Almost everyone on the team has been to the state finals, it is just a matter of executing when we get here, and (yesterday) we lost our Atlee lacrosse touch,” Rice said.

Rice got his fourth goal when he tied the game at 8 and forced overtime with 29 seconds remaining in regulation.

Atlee also had possession to start overtime after Briar Woods was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct on the faceoff, leaving the Falcons a man down for the next minute.

The Raiders shot the ball as many times as they could in the first couple of minutes of overtime.

But Briar Woods goalie Will Juneau was ready. Juneau had some impressive saves, which allowed the Falcons to get the ball and score the decisive goal on a corner shot by Kyle Duffie with 1:27 left.

“Those are the kinds of things that make or break these games,” Crawford said. “That’s what happens when you have

Group 5A semifinal ASHBURN — The Atlee boys lacrosse team beat Stone Bridge 13-12 on Tuesday in the 5A state semifinals, giving Atlee another chance to win a state championship.

Last year, Atlee became the first Richmond-area lacrosse team to play in a state final.

But Atlee fell to Stone Bridge (Loudoun) 10-9.

The Virginia High School League has held state tournaments in lacrosse since 2006.

Typically, the titles have been won by northern Virginia schools. Atlee, in its third year as a VHSL program, will face another Loudoun school, Briar Woods, in the state final Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at Lake Braddock Secondary School in Fairfax.

But Atlee isn’t the only local school going for a state crown. James River, which beat James Madison 12-10 in the semifinals, will oppose James Robinson, also of Fairfax, in the 6A final.

In other lacrosse semifinals, the Hanover boys fell to Dominion 19-11 in 4A. Laura Fien can be reached at lfien@timesdispatch.com.

They led in shots 34-33, ground balls 35-33 and faceoffs 15-6.

“We just came out on the wrong end of the scoreboard,” Crawford said. “Briar Woods had a great game plan, they executed it properly. But my guys didn’t give up and they kept pushing. I’m proud of them and their ability to get better.”

A young team, the Raiders have bright prospects. They are in their third year as a VHSL program and reached the state final every year but their first year.

“Part of our success has been due to the great youth programs,” Crawford said.

“Kids don’t start playing lacrosse when they get to high school. They start playing lacrosse when they are 7 or 8

years old. The Blackhawk program in Hanover County has been so crucial for the Hanover County schools, and we are so happy that they continue to volunteer their time and coach,

not be as successful as we are, and not to mention she’s an incredible player.”

Barrett may have been in charge of morale, but Wilson is the undisputed leader of the Raiders. Wilson, a senior catcher, played her last game in an Atlee uniform Saturday.

But like so many of the Raiders before her, she doesn’t plan on leaving the program

for good.

She’ll head to James Madison next season, but when she’s done in Harrisonburg, she’ll be back to keep the Raiders on their toes.

“After I finish at James Madison, I will be at practice, working their tails off because I’m not playing anymore, but I can still help them out,” she said. “And I will be right there cheering them on, probably the loudest one.”

Hawks girls, boys end tennis season at states

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor LYNCHBURG — Ever since realignment, Hanover and Midlothian have butted heads in regular and postseason play for years. This spring was no exception.

Hanover’s girls tennis team played Midlothian four times: once in the regular season, once in the Conference 20 final, once in the Region 4A East final, and finally in the Virginia High School League Group 4A team championship Saturday at Liberty University.

The fourth time ended as the three previous times – with a Midlothian victory.

Despite the defeat, Hanover head coach Lindsey Wyeth Hein felt pretty good about the Hawks’ season and its end.

“As the VHSL guy told us before our match, we were the last two of 52 4A teams, so I don’t feel all that bad,” Hein said. “We have a young team with a lot of underclassmen and Midlothian has a lot of upperclassmen, so it was kind of a big learning experience.”

Midlothian won the girls title match 5-0.

Hanover’s sole senior

ATLEE Continued from pg. 42

“We’re going to enjoy it for tonight, but when we hit (Saturday), it’s game day.”

Kelly Warren slapped a single to shallow left field with one out for Atlee in the top of the third. Jordan Durbin was hit by a pitch in the next at-bat before Wilson drove a 2-1 pitch over the left-center field wall.

“I saw my pitch, I was loaded in time, I just drove my hands through the ball and got a good piece of it,” said Wilson. “It felt

Caroline Hare, fell to Midlothian’s Sarah Holland 6-4, 6-1 in the No. 1 singles match.

Other than Hare, all of the Hawks starters return next year, while Holland and teammates Courtney Price and Brooke Gore graduate this year.

The turnover in personnel has Hein looking forward to next year.

“It’s tough when you see the same team over and over again and you come up on the short end of the stick. The same thing happened last year, too,” Hein said. “[The Hawks] are looking for revenge next year.”

In the Group 4A boys, Hanover was eliminated by eventual state champion John Handley 5-0 in a state semifinal Monday.

Individually, Zach Palmer advanced to the state semifinals, where he was defeated by Luc Mortemousque of E.C. Glass 6-2, 6-0 Thursday. Palmer, a senior, and sophomore Turner Cole were defeated in a doubles semifinal by eventual state champion Parker Wilson and Carter Watts of John Handley 6-0, 6-1 Friday morning.

Neither Palmer nor Cole had any regrets.

“It felt good as a senior. It’s

something I watched Danny [Polk] doing – going to the final his senior season,” Palmer said.

“There was some great players in this tournament. It was my goal all year just to get to this

point.”

“It was a good experience just as an underclassman to make it [to the state tournament] and Zach to lead me all the way to states in doubles,” Cole said.

incredible. I haven’t hit a ball like that in a while.”

Warren reached first with an infield single to lead off the fifth. Durbin drew a walk, and Wilson flew out to bring up Barrett.

The junior shortstop drove the first pitch over the fence in left-center to double the Raiders’ lead.

“I normally go up to an atbat and split the plate in half,” said Barrett. “My first pitch was inside and high right where I like it.”

Erin O’Flaherty drew a bases-loaded walk for Atlee’s

seventh run in the top of the seventh.

Brooke Martin’s RBI single in the sixth erased the possibility of a shutout and Laura-Kate Moss threw a hitless seventh for the Raiders.

St. George struck out four and walked five in what she said wasn’t her best game. But her and Wilson had a game plan that was effective against the Confederate hitters.

St. George said they went through the entire lineup last night and came up with a new way of attacking the Lee-Davis hitters.

“We brought in the offspeed curve which they hadn’t seen before, so that was working, and the pitch sequences were just a lot different,” said St. George.

Today, the junior will pitch in her second state championship game.

“We’re just taking it one day at a time, ever since the beginning,” she said. “We knew what we had to do to get here, from 6 a.m. lifting in November, and this is where it all comes. This is what we were working for.”
