Kelly-Wiecek elected chair of supervisors

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — After 33 years of service on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley,

“The staff that has been hired by this county over the years has done such a great job and the citizens of Hanover County have been especially helpful.”

AUBREY M. STANLEY Beaverdam District

Beaverdam District, is accustomed to the annual changing of the guard that selects new officers for the panel.

As he completed his fourth term as chair last week, and handed the gavel to Chickahominy District supervisor and current vice chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek, who was elected to serve as this year’s chairperson, Stanley was gracious with his exiting remarks.

Henry District supervisor Sean Davis was elected vice chair.

Stanley opted not to list the various accomplishments of the past 12 months, but instead cited his colleagues and county staff for their contributions to the successes like the opening of a new courthouse.

“I absolutely enjoyed the last year and being chairman of this board,” Stanley said. “This board has been very good to work with. When I called on them to help me in situations that I could not attend, they

were there to represent the county.”

Stanley said his role was limited in the county’s impressive list of accomplishments and pointed to the vital role played by county support staff.

“We will continue our long-term partnership with Backpacks of Love as their satellite office, packing and distributing supplemental food bags to surrounding counties,” said Warren. “We will also be hosting a silent auction, and a book/food drive with a different twist.

“Now that we have the first one under our belt, the groundwork has been laid,” said Warren. “Some fresh and fun ideas for fundraising will be implemented to raise as much money and awareness as possible.

of any Hanover supervisor, you have shown an unwavering dedication to your citizens and to the to the citizens of Hanover County,” KellyWiecek said.

“We all greatly appreciate the work you have done,” she added. “We are particularly grateful for your example of public service.”

Kelly-Wiecek is serving her second term as Chickahominy’s representative and has previously served as the chair of the board’s legislative committee.

She is the third woman to hold the chairmanship, preceded in that post by Debbie Winans and Nina Peace.

In her incoming comments, Kelly-Wiecek outlined some issues facing the board and expressed her commitment to working together to meet those challenges.

“I’d like to thank my fellow board members for their support,” she said after receiving a 6-vote endorsement from her colleagues with Scott Wyatt abstaining. “It’s been my experience that we can always learn from those around us and this year has given us ample oppor-

if needed.

Those planning to attend need to reserve a space at least 48 hours before the forum date by calling 804-746-0743.

tunities to do that and to work toward common goals.”

Kelly-Wiecek said she hope to continue a pattern of “citizen engagement and communication” and “transparency.”

The incoming chair said she will utilize new technologies and media tools to further those efforts and enhance citizen communication with their local government.

“This will allow them to know the many ways they can participate and have their voices heard.”

A prime example of that involvement is the current upgrade process for the county’s Comprehensive Plan.

“It is essential that our citizens understand what this plan is, how we use it and, most importantly, that citizens have input on it,” Kelly-Wiecek said.

“After all, this is the plan for how we want our county to look in 20 or 30 years.”

The new chair noted the many aspects of Hanover life that can be affected by a revised Comprehensive Plan and urged citizens to get involved in the process early and often.

“This is Hanover’s plan and we want them to be robust par-

ticipants,” Kelly-Wiecek said.

In addition to stated goals outlined in the county administrator’s list of priorities for 2017, Kelly-Wiecek said she hopes to add one more to that list.

“I believe we are ready and the time is right for us to put our county checkbook online.

It is my hope to provide access to our citizens of base information, but also provide meaningful information on the nature of the expenditures we make on their behalf.”

That proposal will be filtered through the board’s Finance Committee headed by South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard.

Kelly-Wiecek closed her remarks by reaffirming her commitment to Hanover and its citizens, and a way of life that’s hard to duplicate in her estimation. She also expressed appreciation for a dedicated staff and committed constitutional officers.

“You hear a great deal these days about what’s wrong with government, but I think here in Hanover we are an example of what is right,” she said. “People want to live here because of their sense of community.”

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

LETTERS

When it comes to espionage, they can do better

| Reader Views

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News I have to be honest: Like so many others, I am just about ready to read the very last story about Russian hacking. For one thing, the coverage devoted to this topic would almost certainly be better directed at how the incoming administration plans to tackle some very real issues facing our country.

Also, to be frank, I just don’t think the Russians brought their A game this time.

Sure, they may have embarrassed a few people, but the vast majority of us were completely unaffected. So I got to thinking: If they so desired, how could the Russians use their finely-tuned hacking skills to truly make my life miserable.

The following, presented in the hopes that this issue doesn’t make it to Moscow, are just a few

suggestions: Make it so that whenever I ask my phone for directions, regardless of where I want to go, I am given only routes that require $15 worth of tolls. Bonus: Have it remind me of the exit I need to take, but only after I have just passed it.

Find the place on my laptop that I have all of my favorite recipes stored, and slightly change all the ingredient amounts — not so much that I would notice, but enough to make the dish taste terrible.

Hop onto my Amazon account and send “care packages” of deodorant, soap and breath mints to all of my friends with a note that says “Hi, I thought you could really use this.”

Hack into my car’s computer system and reprogram the back-up beeper so it only goes off after I back into something.

Locate that silly, petty email to my sister that I typed out after an argument three weeks ago but never sent. Send it.

Find my credit card information. Go to an online grocery retailer. Pay to have a single bottle of diet raspberry iced tea delivered to my house.

Repeat 500 times.

Again, far be it from me to tell the Russian hackers how to do their jobs, but they clearly have some work to do if they want to truly impress anybody.

So, until they figure out how to do more than prove that politicians behave like, well, politicians when they think no one is looking, I’ll be content to say das vedanya to this particular storyline.

Organization wants heard in issue of development The petition by Atlee Residents for Responsible Development (TimesDispatch, Jan. 6) revisits a vital issue that has generated more than a little attention in Hanover County over the past two decades: the rate and costs of development.

Many words have been spoken and written in well-grounded arguments for measured residential growth.

Rooftops generate the need for roads, schools and emergency services, for starters. Cash proffers collected from developers help fund those services and improvements, but the ability to levy those proffers has well nigh been stripped at the county level.

Two actions set up this situation.

In 2012, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors voted to reduce cash proffers to only a collection for road improvements.

Local decision-making was further quashed in 2016 when the General Assembly limited the ability of localities to collect cash proffers.

Supervisor Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville District, notes that blocking construction of residential homes does not seem feasible. True enough. And his affirmative vote in 2012 to reduce cash proffers assured that home building would go forward, despite producing some negative economic consequences.

Now, though, the General Assembly’s additionally proscriptive action really hampers local decisionmaking by all the stakeholders.

This year, Hanover County’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan is up for its five-year review and update.

This is the time for citizens, county officials and developers to chart a course for Hanover County. All are see LETTERS, pg. 8

And, there’s that frozen hamburger that is now thawed and looks as fresh as the day it came home, a period we’ll call pre-Winter Storm Helena. So, Sunday dinner is hamburgers and fries.

It gets serious as the kids begin to search information sources for school closings, and they don’t have to wait long for that elated feeling every child experiences when they hear that schools are closed.

In my generation, offi-

cials would wait until the last minute to inform the public of a closing, and I remember many snowy mornings beginning with the sound of the Magnavox tuned to WRNL. “Get dressed,” my mother would call. “There’s still no word.”

More times than not, the news was tardy but good and schools were closed, but announced strategically to sufficiently dismay an anxious audience.

Today, the news of closings are timely and allow parents to

plan for days off caring for kids.

Conversely, it also cuts down on the drama involved with the school closing announcement. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

The good news is everyone here survived the storm, and we’re restocked and ready for what I predict (for planning purposes) will be an two additional days off from school. Even with the bright sunshine, the ice is not melting around our home, and the forecast offers no relief until Tuesday, Jan. 10. And this is just round one.

In desperation, I called my House of Delegates representative, Chris Peace, to ask if there was any state agency that could help me resolve the matter. I was told they could help and took my information on the matter.

Within 24 hours I amazingly received word that my account had been credited and all was well.

In the heat of the New Year’s Eve countdown, fueled by enthusiasm and possibly a few glasses of champagne, resolutions may roll off of the tongue. But come the morning of January 1, such resolutions may not hold the same appeal.

Between 40 and 45 percent of the American population will make a New Year’s Resolution, according to polling by researchers at the University of Scranton. Research suggests that only about 8 percent of people stick with those resolutions and achieve their goals. The outlook is similar for Canadians, 31 percent of whom set New Year’s resolutions. Among those that do, three-quarters will break them, according to a poll from Ipsos. A survey of online shoppers who visited the website FreeDeliveryLand.co.uk revealed that the average length of time a person can expect to pursue their New Year’s resolution is around three and a half weeks, or 24 days.

Maintaining resolutions can be a resolution in and of itself.

For those who want to push through the fail point this year - and stay strong in the face of tempting desserts and the craving to light up a cigarette - these suggestions may help resolutions stick.

• Start small when picking resolutions. Rather than resolving to lose 50 pounds, start with a more manageable goal, such as losing 10 pounds. When you reach the goal, you will feel more confident and then you can up the ante.

• Set a reasonable time frame. Be realistic when determining how long it will take to achieve your goal.

Achieving a difficult goal can take time, so don’t expect overnight success.

• Practice self-control in all aspects of life. Some researchers believe that the self-control necessary to help people maintain their resolutions is like a muscle that needs to be exercised. When self-control is revved up across many different activities, it’s easy to realize one particular resolution. For example, in an experiment at the University of Albany, researchers asked 122 smokers who were trying to quit to practice extra self-control for two weeks, either by avoiding sweets or by squeezing on a grip strengthener for as long as they could twice a day. Twenty-seven percent of those who were diligent about practicing their self-control exercise successfully kicked their cigarette habit in the following month, compared with just 12 percent of volunteers who didn’t maximize self-control.

• Get support or talk it out. Speaking about what you are going through and getting reassurance from other people can

work wonders to strengthen resilience. When the desire to quit sneaks up, you can consult with a friend or consider a support group. For example, taking a group class at the gym may be a more effective motivational tool than working out solo.

• Set up an accountability system. Institute a rewards system for your success. You might even use a monetary system as a doublebonus. When you stick to a resolution over a predetermined period, put a dollar in a jar. If you fall off course, take a dollar away. Find the incentive that works for you.

• Resolutions are made and broken every year. Make this the year you realize your resolution.

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

Ashland taps town manager from in-house Joshua Farrar unanimously chosen to move into top position with annual salary of $125,000

By Michael Thompson Richmond Times-Dispatch ASHLAND — Ashland has selected one of its own to take the reins of the town.

Joshua Farrar was the unanimous pick to be Ashland’s new town manager, according to a Thursday news release.

Farrar’s new employment was expected to be approved Tuesday, Jan. 17, by Ashland Town Council.

Farrar has been the town’s interim town manager since his predecessor, Charles Hartgrove, left last year for Lynchburg after 13 years on the job.

Prior to that, Farrar was Ashland’s deputy town manager and finance director.

Before arriving in Ashland, Farrar worked in Kansas as an assistant city administrator.

Farrar, whose annual salary will be $125,000, will be tasked with managing

Ashland’s roughly $9 million general fund budget and overseeing Ashland’s 65 full-time employees.

“The town council has an aggressive vision to preserve important parts of our character to keep Ashland Ashland, but at the same time embrace the future and address any obstacles that may come with it,” Farrar said in the news release. “The opportunity to be a part of that vision is exciting, and I will work tirelessly on behalf of the town council, town staff and

Rehearsals underway

community to achieve our goals.”

Mayor James Foley and town council chose Farrar from a pool of more than 95 candidates.

“We performed a national search to make sure we were hiring the best person to fill this critical role,” Foley said. “We interviewed a number of candidates, and it was clear to the entire council that the best person was already right here in the Center of the Universe.”

ASHLAND — The Richmond Symphony and Music Director Steven Smith will perform at 3 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 22, for a Metro Collection concert featuring chamber pieces by Gluck, Joan Tower, Purcell and Schubert.

All Metro Collection concerts are held in the Blackwell Auditorium on the RandolphMacon College campus.

Featuring a theme of song and dance, the concert begins with Gluck’s Overture to Orfeo ed Euridice, followed by Joan

Tower’s Chamber Dance.

In describing the piece, Tower said, “Chamber Dance weaves through a tapestry of solos, duets, and ensembles where the oboe, flute, and violin are featured as solos and the violin and clarinet, cello and bassoon, two trumpets, and unison horns step out of the texture as duets. The ensemble writing is fairly vertical and rhythmic in its profile, thereby creating an ensemble that has to ‘dance’ well together.”

Following Chamber Dance will be Purcell’s The Gordian Knot Untyed, a succession of short pieces based upon well-

known dance rhythms.

The concert will conclude with Schubert’s Symphony No. 5 in B-flat Major, a piece full of graceful melodies.

A free pre-concert talk will be held from 2 to 2:30 p.m. in the Dollar Tree Community Room on the second floor of Brock Commons.

Ticket prices are $22 for adults, $20 for seniors, $12 for children, and $5 at the door for college students and faculty with ID. Tickets may be purchased online at richmondsymphony. com or by calling 1-800-514ETIX.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Ty, 265543, is a 7-year-old and nine months male neutered pitbull. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Ty was originally adopted from the shelter in 2012 but recently had to be returned due to the owner having to move. Ty is a very nice dog that has been around other dogs for the past few years. He is very friendly around people. He also has a mild disposition. Ty would be a great house dog. Midnight, 466460, is a (estimated) 2-year-old female domestic short hair feline. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Midnight is a sweet little girl who has been in the shelter since late December. She came in a little shy and timid, but has really started to become a nice cat. Midnight seems to be well litter trained for previously being an outside cat. She should adjust well to living indoors. 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 804-365-6485 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.

Senior Advocacy Day to be held Jan. 25 at General Assembly Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — Annual Senior Advocacy Day at the Virginia General Assembly will be held on Wednesday, Jan. 25.

Senior Advocacy Day is an opportunity to support senior issues and concerns. It also is an occasion to learn about the work of Virginia legislators and policy makers.

During the 2017 session, advocates for Older Virginians

are urging members of the Virginia General Assembly to protect funds in the state budget for care coordination and other essential services for older adults.

Members of the General Assembly are asked to take note of the growing older population throughout the Commonwealth.

On Senior Advocacy Day, advocates will visit members of the General Assembly to thank them for supporting programs that help older adults remain in

their homes and communities.

Support from the General Assembly ensures that older Virginians are able to continue to live in their communities.

Communities are continually assessing livability as a key concern.

Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) play important roles in creating livable communities by providing home delivered meals, friendship cafés for lunches/activities, transportation, adult day care, personal

care, respite support for caregivers, in home care, homemaker assistance and related services.

Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging and the Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging (V4A) invite advocates for older Virginians to join Senior Advocacy Day in support of essential services for older adults, persons with disabilities and caregivers. To participate with Senior Advocacy Day, contact Pat Giesen, spe-

cial events coordinator, at 804343-3059 or pgiesen@youraaa. org. Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging (www.seniorconnectionsva.org) is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization governed by a Board of Directors.

The Agency, established in 1973 as part of a nationwide network of Area Agencies on Aging, provides direct services, information and referral, education and advocacy for seniors and caregivers residing in the City of Richmond

and the counties of Charles City, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, New Kent and Powhatan. The Virginia Association of Area Agencies on Aging (v4a) is the statewide organization that represents the Commonwealth’s Area Agencies on Aging in advocating for resources that provide choices for older adults. v4a supports the provision of affordable and accessible home and community services.

Hanover Animal Control offers rabies vaccination clinic Feb. 4 HANOVER — Hanover Animal Control makes it easy for people to get their pets vaccinated by holding rabies vaccination clinics in the fall and winter.

Vaccines will be administered at a cost of $8 per dog or cat.

The final rabies vacation clinic will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Feb. 4, at the East Hanover Rescue Squad at 8105 Walnut

Grove Road in Mechanicsville.

The veterinarian will administer the shots to the pet at your vehicle.

Do not bring pets into the building.

You will complete your registration inside the facility and return to your vehicle. Drive to the area designated for vaccination. You will be expected to leave the vaccination area as soon as you are done.

Only healthy, non-pregnant animals will be vaccinated.

No wolf or cat hybrids or animals other than dogs or cats will be vaccinated.

The vaccination is good for up to three years unless the pet has never had a rabies vaccination before, in which case it is good for one year. Put the rabies tag on the dog’s collar and keep certificates for proof of vaccination.

All dogs and cats (including so-called “barn cats”) are required by law to be vaccinated for rabies at four months of age.

You also must have tags and a valid license proving the vaccination.

For more information, call Animal Control at 804365-6485.

Tax relief offered to elderly, permanently disabled HANOVER — Hanover County makes real estate tax relief available for residents who are elderly or permanently disabled and who have a net worth of $200,000 or less, and combined household gross income of $50,000 or less.

Four freshman from Mechanicsville begin college football career with a national title

Cathy Kushner/James Madison University

James Madison freshman Mac Patrick (73), a former standout lineman at Hanover High School, lines up at center for James Madison against Rhode Island on Oct. 29.

By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local Four young men left Mechanicsville for James Madison University last year looking to careers in a winning football program and to get a good education.

Now, no matter what happens the next few years, they’ll

ended North Dakota State’s FCS dynasty, then defeated Youngstown State 28-14 in the championship game in Frisco, Texas.

“It’s amazing. I can’t even really describe it,” said Gillespie, an offensive lineman. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

To go that far in my first year is a really good building block

for what I want the rest of my career to look like.”

As a redshirt freshman, Gillespie – an offensive lineman – focused on gaining weight, getting stronger and helping the JMU defense prepare for opposing offenses as a member of the offensive scout team. Tabb Patrick, a linebacker, did the same for the JMU offense on

the defensive scout team, while Ratke, a kicker, worked on his leg with an eye on competing for a bigger role in the future.

The trio dressed out for all of the Dukes’ home games, as well as the national championship.

That’s life as a true freshman at programs of JMU’s stature. The Dukes won their first national championship in 2004

and haven’t missed the playoffs since 2013. They’ve made the playoffs eight times in the past 13 years.

“Being a redshirt in this program is something a lot of guys do, especially with our talent,” Tabb Patrick said. “Not a lot of guys go straight into playing. I see TOP, pg. 33

Atlee boys earn triple OT win over Patriots

By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – One game provided an impressive individual feat, and another a thrilling triple-overtime finish. Both provided victories for Atlee over Patrick Henry on Friday night.

Alyse Armentrout recorded a triple-double in a Raiders’ rout; then the boys team overcame a 16-point first-half deficit to defeat the visiting Patriots in extra time, 75-72.

“We started pressing in the second half. We press a little bit [normally], but that was huge,” said Atlee boys basketball coach Philip Reynolds. “We went from down 10 [at halftime] to up 5 at the end of the third. That was kind of the turning point.”

Atlee’s defensive pressure forced a once relaxed Patrick Henry (2-11) squad into turnovers and rushed shots. The Patriots led 11-4 at the end of the first quarter and led by as many as 16 in the second before Atlee (2-11) turned the tide.

While the Raiders struggled on offense in the first half, they got a boost in the second from freshman Tyler Warren, who scored 8 of his game-high 16 points in the third quarter.

Atlee held a 6-point advantage with 3:14 to play in regu-

had no problems doing it. My time will come.”

His brother’s time came earlier than most. Mac Patrick, a center, saw playing time from the very beginning as the backup to senior starter Kyle Rigney.

He got his feet wet during the regular season whenever the Dukes were up big on their opponent.

lation, but Devin Coles led a fourth-quarter comeback for Patrick Henry that brought the Patriots within one point at 5756. Arias Holman had a chance to give them a lead in the clos-

ing seconds with a pair of free throws, but rimmed out the back end of a 1-and-1, leaving the game tied at 57 and headed to overtime.

In the first extra session, the

Patriots led by three with 17 seconds left following a pair of Holman free throws. Atlee’s Leo Reynolds brought the ball up the floor and attempted to make a move, but slipped. He was,

however, able to knock the ball to Carson Miller, who made a desperation 3-pointer to tie the score at 64 and head to a second overtime. The second session ended scoreless, setting up the

That meant he got plenty of playing time – JMU averaged nearly 47 points per game and ended the season on an 11game winning streak. The game experience came in handy for Mac, who saw his first meaningful collegiate action in the national semifinals against the most daunting foe in the most imposing locale – five-time defending FCS champion North Dakota State in the Fargodome.

“After that game, that really felt like we had done something

special when we beat them,” he said. “We went in there with all the stuff they had behind them, and we took it to them just like we did any other team.”

Mac got his turn in the spotlight when Rigney hobbled off the field in the first half. He took the rest of the game’s snaps and made the line calls in FCS’s loudest venue as the Dukes held off the Bison 27-17 to earn a trip to the championship game.

“When the first kick was kicked off, it was deafening,”

he said. “You couldn’t talk to the dude next to you. After the first quarter, you kind of get used to it.

“We practiced for the loud noise in the stadium. At some point, it goes back to the reps you take in practice. It’s the same thing.”

He was referring to the team’s practices heading into the semifinals, when the coaching staff pumped noise into Bridgeforth Stadium to simulate NDSU’s deafening home-

field advantage. Whether the noise helped or not, the Dukes ran through Fargo and Frisco with the calm confidence that became their trademark during the championship run.

“I felt like we were locked in, prepared, confident,” Gillespie said. “We’re not really a nervous team. We’re confident in our abilities and how we play. We were ready to go in there and win.”

Now the championship run is done and the rings are on

final frame.

Atlee trailed 68-66 with just over two minutes remaining in the contest, but finished on a 9-4 run. Leo Reynolds went 5 of 6 from the free throw line to help close out the win for the Raiders.

Miller and Jack Fahed each scored 15 points and Reynolds finished with 11 for Atlee in the win. Coles, Holman and Shephon Wattie all tied Warren’s game-high 16 for the Patriots.

In the girls game, Armentrout recorded 25 points, 16 rebounds and 10 blocks to lead the Raiders to an easy 7025 victory. Atlee (11-3) led 20-2 after the first quarter and never trailed. Armentrout recorded a pair of blocks in the final minutes of the game to secure her achievement.

“I was really looking for the triple-double,” Armentrout said.

I knew that coach was trying to let me get it, so my thought at the end of the game was to get those two blocks in.”

Kylie Eastman added 10 points and eight assists for Atlee while Addison Raso grabbed nine rebounds. Jabryah Haverkamp starred for Patrick Henry (1-12) in the loss, scoring 17 points for the Patriots.

Hawks find 64 lucky in doubleheader sweep

By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Sixty-four turned out to be a lucky number for the Hanover Hawks on Friday night. Both the boys’ and girls’ basketball teams scored 64 points to win their respective games against cross-town rival Lee-Davis.

The Hawks girls’ won the opener of the doubleheader at Lee-Davis 64-32, while the boys won the nightcap 64-47.

Despite Hanover’s matching pair of 64s on the scoreboard, however, the evening was a tale of two distinctly different styles.

On the girls’ side of things, the Hawks’ defense was equal parts dominating and stifling.

Freshmen Jordan Davis and Madison Miller were a constant presence in the Lee-Davis back court, and nearly every inbound and cross-court pass by the Confederates was contested by one of them.

“They played incredibly well tonight,” said Hanover girls head coach Mike Rohr of the pair’s defense.

Lee-Davis started the game playing aggressively, and the Hawks had a tough time getting started.

“We were just really pumped up to play tonight,” Rohr said. “I think there were some nerves working on the girls in the beginning.”

But when Sarah Wright finally got the scoring started for the Hawks, the rout was on.

Wright accounted for Hanover’s first 5 points, and she scored all five within 20 seconds.

By the end of the first half, the Hawks had scored more points than the Confederates would score in the game, thanks in large part to the defensive efforts of Davis and Miller.

“We feed off our defense,” Rohr said. “When we’re playing

well defensively, we’re going to be okay. That’s why I wasn’t too worried about our poor shooting in the beginning. I knew our defense would keep us in it until the shooting came around.”

Lee-Davis was led by Codie Heilig with 15 points and Hadiyah Nelson with 10.

If the girls’ game was characterized by the Hanover defense, the boys’ game was tailor-made for lovers of high-octane offense.

with 25 points, including two 3-point goals and two dunks that were powerful enough to momentarily quiet the raucous Lee-Davis student section.

“I really applaud these guys for playing so well together tonight,” said Hanover boys head coach Darren Thornton.

“They made great passes and shared the ball really well.”

In addition to Payne, two other players – Nick Zona and Nik Morrison – scored in

double figures, with Zona scoring 13 and Morrison 11. Josh Plummer was just a missed free throw from joining them in double-figure territory.

“The one-three-one gave our guys a lot of trouble tonight,” said Lee-Davis head coach Tripp Metzger. “We were giving them the shots that they wanted, and all it takes is one missed assignment. I’m proud of the way they played and the intensity they brought, but we’ve got to learn

Despite his team’s dominating performance, Thornton wasn’t completely satisfied with the Hawks’ effort.

Noe’s last-minute shot propels R-MC to win

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch ASHLAND – For the second Wednesday in a row, Daniel Noe hit the game-winner in Crenshaw Gymnasium.

The junior forward knocked down a jumper from the baseline with 42 seconds left to give Randolph-Macon a 49-47 win over archrival HampdenSydney in front of 1,423 Wednesday night.

It was a week after he hit 3pointer with 26 seconds left to give the Yellow Jackets a victory over Virginia Wesleyan.

The Tigers held a 5-point lead before Jamie Wilson knocked down his fourth 3pointer of the game to make it 47-45 with just under two minutes left.

Hampden-Sydney’s 18th turnover was Jermaine Johnson’s third steal in the Tigers’ next possession. Johnson’s layup at the other end tied the game at 47-47 with 1:32 to play.

The Tigers couldn’t score with their next possession, and the Yellow Jackets called a timeout with 54 seconds left.

The designed play broke down, but eventually Johnson found Noe along the baseline, and Noe hit his second gamewinner in a week.

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Randolph-Macon guard Jamie Wilson (12) goes aloft to get a shot off over the hand of Hampden-Sydney point guard Logan Samuels (10) in the Yellow Jackets’ 49-47 win over the visiting Tigers at Crenshaw Gymnasium Wednesday.

“I knew Jermaine (Johnson) had the ball. He’s great with it late clock,” Noe said. “I knew if I found an open spot, he’d find me. My teammates trust me to make that shot.”

“We do have guys that can

pass and Dan [Noe] wants the ball in his hands in that time. You want guys like that, so I’m glad that they found him and he did the rest,” said Randolph-Macon head coach Josh Merkel.

“Unselfish team. They look for the open guy and Dan did a good job of just getting open, getting to a spot where he can make a shot, and doing the rest from there,” Merkel said. “There was no doubt in my mind when

it left his hands.”

Grayson Midulla (Glen Allen) and Wilson led the Yellow Jackets with 12 points each. Logan Samuels and Nick Chase led the Tigers with 8 points.

Wilson, a point guard and the only Yellow Jacket to have started all 14 games, made 4 of his 9 3-point attempts. He was 3 for 5 in the second half, and they came at key moments that kept the Yellow Jackets close when the Tigers threatened to pull away.

Wilson was averaging 5.5 points entering Wednesday.

He’s usually a facilitator, but his 3-pointers (and RandolphMacon’s nine total) helped stretch a bigger and longer Hampden-Sydney defense.

“I had to,” Wilson said of shooting more than usual.

“They were sticking in the paint, they were really helping off everybody, getting to shooters. It was tough. One of our worst games, but we came through.”

The Yellow Jackets own a 90-54 advantage in the series with Hampden-Sydney, dating to 1956.

They have won six straight overall this year and are 5-0 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference for the first time since 2014-15, when they made the NCAA tournament round of eight in Nathan Davis’ final year as head coach.

R-MC women stumble against Marlins

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Randolph-Macon forward Amber Lee (20) gets a shot over Virginia Wesleyan guard Amanda Gerni (33) Tuesday.

ASHLAND – Despite a pair of double-doubles by Amber Lee and Kelly Williams and a blistering first-quarter start, the Randolph-Macon women stumbled against visiting Virginia Wesleyan, falling to the Marlins 91-82 at Crenshaw Gymnasium Tuesday night.

The Yellow Jackets scored

33 points in the first quarter and led by as much as 18 points mid-way through the second, going into halftime with a 42-32 lead. But a physical Wesleyan defense along with an unusually high seven fouls called on the Randolph-Macon offense threw the Yellow Jackets out of sync.

That, coupled with a lackluster defense, doomed RandolphMacon to defeat.

“It was the poorest defense

I’ve ever seen in my life for a college-level team,” said Yellow Jacket head coach Carroll LaHaye. “I mean, just simple one-on-one play, that’s all it was. We did a very poor job of defending the drive.

“We quickly looked at the stats and all of that, and they had two more 3-pointers than we did. So it was all layups — layups and free throws.”

Randolph-Macon had

the better field goal percentage 46 percent to the Marlins’ 39 percent. The Yellow Jackets converted 29 of 59 field goal attempts. But they gave Virginia Wesleyan 72 field goal attempts, and the Marlins converted 28 of them into points.

Gaston defies illness to win at Kecoughtan Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor NEWPORT NEWS – LeeDavis swimmer Sara Gaston admits she is something of a drama queen. Before swimming the girls 500 freestyle at the Kecoughtan Invitational swim meet at Midtown Aquatic Center Saturday, she told a friend of hers, Jenna Thompson of Menchville, that she wasn’t feeling too well.

Thompson told her, “Don’t say that.”

The two, lined up with Thompson in Lane Four and Gaston in Lane Five, were not giving the other much slack.

Thompson took the early lead – though not by much – but Gaston stayed within a length.

As the race came to a close, Gaston took a slight lead, but Thompson caught up on the turns. Just a hair of a second separated the two at the final wall.

What Thompson didn’t know was that Gaston wasn’t joking – she wasn’t feeling well.

What Gaston didn’t know – but found out while she was throwing up – was that she won in

18th in the girls standings, with Hanover finishing 24th and J.R. Tucker 25th. Jamestown won the girls title with a commanding 193 points. Centerville edged Lee-Davis for second place with 159 points to the Confederates’ 158.

On the boys side, Lee-Davis topped the list of area schools, finishing ninth. Atlee’s boys finished 13th, followed by Maggie Walker (14th), Hanover (18th)

and Tucker 24th. Frank Cox won the boys team title with 229 points.

Baker, a junior, won the 50 freestyle in 23.92. Fisher, a senior, broke her own meet record in winning the 100 freestyle with a time of 51.54.

“I was really happy,” Fisher said. “It was my last Kecoughtan, so it was a little bittersweet. But it was really fun – a lot of racing back-to-back.”

Jackets, and when a RandolphMacon player tried to force some room, a whistle blew.

Kareema Conteh and Michal Ross fouled out. Williams, a freshman, was laden with four fouls.

“For somebody who’s not used to having somebody hang on your arms – she was so dominating at the high school level – and now it takes three people

to hold her down and they’re getting away with it,” LaHaye said of Williams. “She’s a fighter to a certain extent in terms of ‘I’m going to, I’ve got to get free,’ and then it’s always the second look that gets [the call].”

Five other Yellow Jackets had three fouls apiece as RandolphMacon tallied 31 fouls to just 19 called on Virginia Wesleyan.

After awhile, the Yellow

Jacket offense grew more timid while the Marlins’ offense gained momentum.

“Virginia Wesleyan had a great game plan – get into our heads, take Williams out of the play,” LaHaye said. “I thought they did a great job.”

Lee finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds. Williams finished with 18 points and 15 rebounds. Conteh scored 15

points before fouling out and Taylor Intermill finished with 10 assists.

Virginia Wesleyan was led

by Jayla Harris with a gamehigh 32 points. Raya Berkley scored 17 points, followed by Niasia Caldwell with 13 points and Alexis Pratt with 10.

“Come springtime, it can even out with weights and experience and we can even out with those guys.”

All four know what they need to do to get where they want to go. For the three redshirts, that means getting stronger and showing well in spring practice and into the fall. For Mac Patrick, it means solidifying and demonstrating his grasp of JMU’s high-octane offense at the most critical position on the offensive line.

“In our offense, the center has a lot of responsibilities,” he said. “Kyle Rigney really helped me out with that, and next year, I’m not going to have him. I’m going to have to work extra hard.”

They’ve still got a few more months, however, to bask in the satisfying glow of a championship season.

“To just go in there and win a championship was a dream come true,” Gillespie said. “To do it my first year was just phenomenal.”
