Colleagues recall From rock bottom to success Wade’s devotion County native shares story of ups and downs and finding a calling to serving county

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local

A

By Michael O’Connor Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE -- It’s not every day that a county supervisor picks up trash off the side of the road, but that’s exactly the kind of thing longtime Hanover County supervisor Elton Jefferson Wade Sr. was known to do. “People would call about a dead animal on the side of the road,� Sterling Rives, Hanover’s county attorney, said. “Rather than have someone go pick it up, he would.�

Mr. Wade died Sunday leaving a legacy of service that played out in his role as a dedicated, pavement-pounding public servant and as a foster parent who cared for 23 children. Mr. Wade was a longtime Hanover school bus driver and traffic crossing guard.

“Because of his dedication and principles, staff members referred to him as ‘the conscience of the Board,’� Rives said. “Wade was the consummate public servant.�

SHLAND -Landing a job in Hollywood can be considered reserved for only the most talented of actors, television personalities or musically talented individuals in the world.

Former Hanover High School student and Patrick Henry High School graduate Wade Davis, a talent manager, recently talked about his impressive and tasking career, in addition to the story he lived through getting to where he is now.

Davis, 27, a native of Montpelier, found that all he needed to do was follow his passion and be committed to working his hardest, and he didn’t need to be a star to do it. “I had no idea that a kid

from Montpelier, Virginia, could step into Hollywood

and find a way to support and make a life for himself,� Davis

said during a recent phone interview from Los Angeles. “It happened – and there’s nothing besides my urge to work really hard, to remain open, to accept feedback, and being open to commit to finding a way to make things work.�

After graduating from PHHS in 2008, Davis was accepted into Coastal Carolina University. After time passed on the Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, campus, he withdrew from his classes and started making some wrong turns in life. “I dropped out of college – I spent four years there and I probably got one year’s worth of courses done. I was getting in a lot of trouble while I was down there . . . I wasn’t living a very good life, and didn’t know what I wanted to do

Dear charities: Please save on mailings

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor My family has always been charitable in giving to those in need, as well as the many organizations that depend on donations. I consider it an admirable and responsible aspect of thinking of others and helping as best as possible.

Mom has continued to donate to a number of worthwhile causes. She doesn’t boast about it, but remains steadfast in helping with her financial contributions year after year.

She sends her donations early in a new year, and is satisfied in knowing her contributions will support the efforts of many organizations and causes.

For a couple of years, she has been somewhat aggravated by the amount of mail she receives from

groups she sends funds to for their work. Last January she decided to keep all the mail she would get in 2017 (note inserted photo). Yes, it’s a stack and then some.

Mom has written letters requesting that the mail not be sent, and she will continue to provide financial aid. Alas, to no avail.

She doesn’t have any plan to stop sending donations, but she doesn’t want or need the endless reminders to contribute.

Some organizations send calendars -- wall and pocket (how many does one person need?!), address stickers (she probably has enough to wallpaper a wall), ink pens, you get the idea.

This entire scenario begs the question: What are they doing with the monies being donated?

I realize the endless mailings and swag (of sorts) cost money. Are all these being funded privately?

Regardless, it’s a waste for someone who has been a supporter for years.

So, to the charities I say, please use the donations for those in need. Those giving do not need to be reminded; they choose to help.

2017 ended with memories of those who left us

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I’m always hesitant to compose year-end wrap-up stories for fear of forgetting something important that happened in the last 12 months. And that peril is more magnetized when you begin considering a list of important people who have passed in the last year.

I never read one of those memoriam articles without being surprised by at least one of the entries, and it is always with a sense of melancholy to

consider the great names who left us as the year closes.

As one gets older, the list includes the names of great icons of a generation, people who shaped and symbolized the era of a group we now call baby boomers, a name that does not aptly describe their current status.

It’s a list that continues to mount through time and memoriam, a tally that reminds us all that life is fleeting, and all of us face the same inevitable end. It’s a dose of reality that causes me to pause and consider the certainly Editorial & Business Office and Mailing Address: 8460 Times-Dispatch Blvd. Mechanicsville, VA Phone – (804) 746-1235 Toll free – (877) 888-0449 Fax – (804) 730-0476 Online: www.mechlocal.com

of the eternal circle, and how it begins and continues for all of us.

Last year will be remembered for many things, but the passing of three icons whose lives vividly provided a backdrop for the lives many of us remember stand out in my yearend recollection.

I first remember seeing Don Rickles on The Johnny Carson Show on a television that flickered a black and white image that seems antique compared with today’s high definition productions.

On first impression, Rickles seemed

to enjoy a unique sense of freedom that allowed him to query the most uncomfortable of human experiences . . . and dig a needle deep into that very core.

Rickles represented a disrespectful, irreverent side of human nature that, up until he took the stage, had seldom been explored. Insult humor became a regular item on the menu of American culture, and no one did it better than Don Rickles.

Confederate names caused health issues A few years back I found I had a real problem in wanting to change names and remove statues of Confederate War generals around the country. My problem was when driving by the statues on Monument Avenue or by a school anywhere with a Confederate name I would get dizzy, blurry-eyed, blood pressure rise and almost pass out.

Then one day I decided to get a job, quit smoking pot and drinking booze.

Guess what, keeping busy all day on a job and having a clear head helped me tremendously. I am now able to realize these monuments and names are just symbols of people who died for what they may or may not have believed in at the time. Maybe not what I would have or not have believed in but then again, I guess I would’ve had to been there.

Hating something to that extent is hard to shake and I was still feeling the need to cause trouble or, who knows, maybe just to get a bit of attention and make history so I decided to look into other possible reasons for the effects that the monuments and school names were having on me.

I got hold of an old medieval medical book and found they had something called Locational Vertigo that possibly could be the cause of my symptoms. LV was pretty rampant back then but they had found a simple cure so I tried it. It works great, I just stay away from those locations and guess what, cured, cured at last. And it’s still true today; it’s all location, location, location.

member of his devoted audience and exclaim, “I contacted the home. You’re going back.�

Even through the abrasive exterior, it was clear that Rickles’ heart was indeed more compassionate and loving than his humor might indicate.

Through the years, the biggest of stars found some kind of honor at being the brunt of one of Rickles’ viscous attacks.

There’s enough hate and ridicule in this world to last a generation, but the man who lived by the insult, offered a kinder side to the art of confrontation.

And losing him is almost akin to losing a good friend,

Ted Mentz Old Church

Resident: Start swamp draining with Wittman Most Americans are against the hurriedly-written, and unfair, tax “reform” bill, but Republican members of Congress are beholden to their donors . . . or owners?

Shame on Congress, and on our very own Rep. Rob Wittman.

Let’s start the swamp draining with his failed re-election attempt in 2018.

J.M. Thomas Mechanicsville

Wittman asked to consider fossil fuels plan (Editor’s note: The following was addressed to The Honorable Rob Wittman, 6501 Mechanicsville Tpk., Suite 102 Mechanicsville, VA 23111; phone: 804-730-6595; fax: 804730-6597.)

Dear Mr. Wittman, At a time when study after study reveals the increasing urgency of acting rapidly to move away from fossil fuels and onto 100% renewable energy, we ask you to co-sponsor the Off Fossil Fuels for a Better Future Act (HR 3671 – Gabbard D-HI).

The visionary legislation is the strongest climate bill introduced to date and recognizes that we must make massive changes to our energy system in the next decade if we are to avoid the worst impacts of climate change.

Additionally, the bill recognizes the need to place racial

and economic justice at the forefront of the climate fight.

Low-wealth communities and communities of color, including Native American communities, are being impacted first and worst by global warming right now.

The bill addresses this reality by creating the Center for Clean Energy Workforce Development, which will create jobs giving priority to disadvantaged communities, while transforming our energy economy and putting us on a path to 100% renewable energy by 2035.

We are in a climate emergency. The threat of climate chaos from global warming is real and the evidence continues to mount. Today, global average temperatures are 1.0°C higher than before the industrial revolution, which spurred our now crippling dependence on fossil fuels. This warning has led to dramatic, planet-wide ecological and climatic changes.

In 2015, nations of the world met in Paris at the United Nations Framework

Convention on Climate Change and agreed that preventing the planet from warming 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels “would significantly reduce the risks and impacts of climate change.” This will require aggressive action to reverse our dependence on fossil fuels and achieve 100% clean energy worldwide. We do not have decades to wait. We must act now in order to have a reasonable chance of avoiding the worst of climate chaos.

The OFF Act achieves this while creating thousands of jobs and promoting equity and justice by: Providing for a just transition with a focus on environmental and economic justice communities; Requiring 100% of electricity sold in the United States to come from clean energy by 2035 with an interim benchmark of 80% by 2027; Requiring 100% of car sales from manufacturers be zero-emission vehicles by 2035; Ending federal fossil fuel subsidies and putting a moratorium on new major fossil fuel projects; Placing a tax on offshore corporate income to help fund the renewable energy revolution; Requiring elimination of fossil fuels without allowing for interim marketplace avoidance mechanisms like cap and trade that have proven ineffective in significantly reducing emissions.

In doing this, the OFF Act will stop fossil fuel projects, create tens of thousands of new jobs while transforming our energy economy, begin to address environmental injustices and put us on the path towards the national mobilization necessary to address the climate crisis.

The climate emergency presents an existential threat to all people on this planet and time is running out. The OFF Act is a critical piece of legislation that will spur the neces-

sary transition of our energy economy on a timeline that rises to the threat science tells us we face.

People Demanding Action joins with more than 60 national organization and 120 state organizations in urging you to co-sponsor this important legislation and publicly and forcefully advocate for its passage.

Handicapped spaces for those designated This is directed specifically to the person who owns a dark blue Chevrolet and illegally parked in a handicapped space in front of Food Lion at Hanover Commons on Dec. 22, 2017.

You waited for someone to exit that parking space, and then you immediately had to sneak into that space. You knew that space was specifically for people with either handicap parking plates or a handicap parking placard. Both of those are issued by the Department of Motor Vehicles in all 50 states, after a certificate signed by a licensed medical professional and a small fee has been sent in.

After you went into Food Lion, I walked over to your car, and saw that you did not have any legal permit to park in that space. I started to place a call to the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and point the responding deputy to your vehicle. I decided not to do that,

and opted to write a letter to this newspaper, believing that public berating would be more punishment than a citation and financial penalty for illegal use of a handicapped parking space.

Thanks to five spinal surgical procedures, I have to walk with a cane, and I prefer to use a handicap parking space. Unlike the person to whom I directed the first paragraph, I have a legal permit (handicap parking placard), which entitles me to use such a parking space. I make double sure I have that showing through my front windshield before I exit my vehicle.

What I’m about to say is a neighborly piece of advice for everyone reading this letter.

Starting immediately, I will be writing down license plate numbers and calling local law enforcement every time I witness a vehicle occupying a handicapped space without a legal permit. That parking citation carries a fine of as much as $500 per offense.

That $500, which will payable to the General District Court (of whatever jurisdiction the offense occurred in), could have been used to help pay for groceries, Christmas or birthday presents, or a vacation.

Before the question or snide comment is made, I do not cruise parking lots looking for the offending vehicles.

Before choosing to abuse a handicap parking space “just because you can,” think about what I said in this letter. I have a pen and a phone, and I will use them.

LEED representatives, council review town hall plans

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Representatives of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design addressed Ashland Town Council on Dec. 19 about the design for the new Ashland Town Hall that is being planned for construction.

LEED is described as a rating system devised by the United States Green Building Council to make evaluations on the environmental performances of buildings and to encourage transformation in markets towards designs that are sustainable.

Katie Stodghill and Sam Bowling, both of PMA Architecture in Hilton Village, represented LEED at the meeting.

The LEED report evaluated eight elements surrounding how the new town hall can be designed in terms of environmental quality.

These included: location and transport, indoor environmental quality, water efficiency, innovation and design, energy and atmosphere, sustainable sites, materials and resources as well as longevity.

Stodghill and Bowling said they were hopeful they would receive a confirmation from council in terms of which plan members want to go with for the building’s design.

There are three plans offered, which were being referred to as LEED certifications – silver, gold and platinum – with silver being the least expensive and platinum costing the most but providing the highest standard of environmental quality for a building.

Like a conventional building, the silver plan includes reduced energy, reduced material waste, water use reductions and interior materials that are healthy for people to be around.

According to the presentation, well above the standard, the gold plan greatly reduces energy use, greatly reduces usage of water, provides a minimal waste of materials, includes healthy interior materials, metering for building-level energy, water, etc. as well as a minimum impact on site and natural settings.

Far exceeding the standard, the platinum level plan includes zero-net energy use, zero-net water use, no waste of materials, healthy interior mate-

rials, building-level metering of energy, water, etc., minimal impact on site/natural settings, production of energy on the site and a building envelope of which is super-insulated.

Several factors that council said it was considering was members need to decide on a plan that is good for the environment and public health; a plan that would set an example for the members of the Ashland community in terms of the importance behind being environment-friendly; the benefit of being recognized for being environment-friendly with the FOLEY construction of the building; as well as the fact that whatever they choose, taxpayer dollars buy it.

A decision was not made for which LEED certification to proceed.

Mayor James Foley noted that, at the last council meeting, they talked about a five-year

plan to pay for the town hall, and pointed out to LEED representatives that will be a part of their ongoing discussion.

In other business at the Dec. 19 meeting, council members unanimously voted to approve a conditional use permit (CUP) for the construction of a facility-used pump station for sewage, which eventually will serve the future Lauradell neighborhood. Council members approved the CUP under the five conditions that were modified in the staff report.

The Ashland Planning Commission had voted 3-0 to recommend an approval for the CUP under those five conditions before modifications were made on Dec. 13. For more information, residents can find the staff report on the town’s website, https://www.town.ashland.va.us/.

A certificate of recognition was awarded to Sharae Birden for being named the “2017 Miss Ashland Jr. Pre-Teen All-American.”

Council thanked Birden for representing the “Center of the Universe” so well and for her serving as a role model for the youth surrounding the Ashland area.

Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program.

If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax

years.

In recent years, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors modified the program to allow property rezoned for specified, more intense, uses to remain eligible for land use.

Under this change, property rezoned for manufacturing; transportation and warehous-

The Sheriff ’s Office will increase patrols in the area of county convenience centers and

will continue to enforce litter laws.

According to Cooper, the Hanover County Department of Public Works will be passing out litter bags designed for vehicles, along with cup holder ashtrays, free of charge while supplies last.

Did we make resolutions that challenged us to use today to make tomorrow better?

Did we make resolutions to help others less fortunate than we?

Did we make resolutions to seek to bring harmony where there was discord?

Did we make resolutions to

bring love where there was hate.

Did we make resolutions to bring peace where there was strife?

I think that we can agree that there is a great need to bring our nations together.

Can we all commit in seeking those avenues by which our country can “use today to make

tomorrow better.”

We all must “think of the children.”

May 2018 be a year of harmony, healing and love.

Remember, if it is to be, it “is” up to we.”

Honestly, I still didn’t care for his humor, or his movies, but I was so impressed by his commitment to help this group of children that I became a Jerry Lewis fan, of sorts.

Lewis spent decades of his life committed to a group of affected children who eventually became known as “Jerry’s

Kids.”

With failing health and personal struggles of his own mounting in his later years, his compassion and tenacity never wavered regarding a cause that was so close to his heart.

My son is one of Jerry’s Kids, and I’ll remain always thankful and dedicated for his role in providing hope and the possibility of an eventual cure for a disease

that has become so important in the life of my family.

Finally, as I was preparing this story, a news flash announced the death of legendary sportscaster Dick Enberg. The silencing of his seemingly eternal youthful voice leaves a void in the lives of many who grew up with Enberg serving us breakfast at Wimbledon, or announcing one of his many Super Bowls.

Enberg joins the ranks of Dizzy Dean, Chuck Thompson and the many others whose voices still ring clear in the memories of the millions who lived through their tenures.

The mention of those recently deceased is just a small sampling of the many loved and admired people we lost in 2017.

“I flew to California without anything, and my mom was balling, crying [as] she dropped me off at the airport because she knew I had no money.”

“She [said], ‘What are you going to do?’ ” Responding to his sad mother, Davis replied: “I think, as humans, we have to put our backs against the wall – because I think we’re built to survive. I think I’m going to find a way to survive if I truly put my back against the wall,” and then he took off.

for work. He was accepted into an internship at one of Mark Cubanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s subsidiary companies, where he was given a $500 stipend to live off.

Davis spent $400 of that stipend to secure a bed for himself to sleep on in a room with two other people in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tennis house at the University of California, L.A. in Westwood, a commercial neighborhood in the city.

Although obtaining realworld experience was a vital career necessity for which his internship provided him with, Davis still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t earning any income. He was living off peanut butter sandwiches to make it by. At one point, he had to call his sister, Jordan Davis, in Virginia to order him a pizza in L.A. He froze it and rationed a slice per day.

Another challenge for Davis during that time was travel, due to not having a personal automobile or the funds to pay for public transportation. He found a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bicycle that had been abandoned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every day I would look at it, and it wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t move.â&#x20AC;? So, he decided to use the childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bike as a means of getting to work, and, each day he returned, he put the bike right back where he found it.

Every day, seven miles each way, Davis rode this bicycle to his internship.

State farmers to help shape national Farm Bureau policies Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com NASHVILLE —Seven voting delegates and two alternates from the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation will join Farm Bureau producer members from across the nation in shaping policies important to farmers and ranchers.

They will gather Jan. 5-10 in Nashville, Tennessee, at the 2018 American Farm Bureau Federation Annual Convention.

AFBF convention attendees also are slated to hear from President Donald J. Trump.

“President Trump has said all along that he would make sure agriculture has a seat at the table when it comes to the top issues facing America’s farmers and ranchers,” said AFBF President Zippy Duvall. “It is our privilege to reserve a spot for him at our podium.”

Duvall also said that Trump’s speech at the convention is a sign of the high regard in which

the nation’s chief executive holds America’s farm and ranch families.

He will discuss key issues on the presidential agenda that could help farmers turn the economic corner in 2018.

“President Trump is fully aware of the economic difficulties farmers and ranchers have gone through these past few years,” Duvall said. “The economic issues he has outlined, including reform of our nation’s tax and regulatory systems,

match many of the issues on Farm Bureau’s agenda.”

Those issues will be addressed by thousands of voting delegates at the convention.

Those from Virginia include VFBF President Wayne F. Pryor of Goochland County; VFBF Vice President Scott Sink of Franklin County; William Coffee of Lunenburg County; Tommy Motley of Pittsylvania County; Jeremy Moyer of Amelia County; Brandy

Puckett of Carroll County; and Channing Snoddy of Fluvanna County.

The alternate delegates are Stephanie Cornnell of Prince William County and Bruce Warner of Russell County.

The VFBF delegates will help formulate AFBF policies for 2018 related to biotechnology; food safety and labeling; immigration reform; comprehensive U.S. energy policy; U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency mandates on water and air quality; and the 2018 Farm Bill.

Farmers attending this year’s convention also will have the opportunity to attend workshops to help them improve their operations and stay current on agriculture-related issues.

Mr. Wade had a reputation for a soft-spoken dependability to his peers in local governance and to constituents in the Cold Harbor District he represented from 1992 to 2015.

“So many people went to him for help,” McDougle said.

“He was just very solid.”

Mr. Wade was a lifetime member of the Black Creek Fire Department. One of his top achievements was the building of the new Black Creek Fire

station, Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Hanover Board of Supervisors chair, said. She said Mr. Wade was a figure newer members of the board could go to for advice.

“Elton really did exemplify a commitment to constituent service,” Kelly-Wiecek said.

Mr. Wade told the Richmond Times-Dispatch in 2015 that he was proud of his work to bring Pole Green Park and Pole Green Elementary School to eastern Hanover. He served on the board’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee.

Scott Wyatt, Mr. Wade’s

successor as the Cold Harbor supervisor, recalled the support he received from Mr. Wade.

“Never forget you support the citizens,” Wyatt remembered Mr. Wade saying. “He was a guy that was just devoted to the community.”

Mr. Wade was preceded in death by his first wife, Jacqueline Heppert Wade. He is survived by his wife of 12 years, Gay Hughes Wade; a sister and two brothers; three children; 12 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren and one great-greatgrandchild.

Hawks, C-feds finish second in tourneys

By Jonathan Howard and Dave Lawrence Mechanicsville Local RICHMOND – After a pair of down-to-the-wire finishes, the Hanover boys basketball team finished runner-up at the Rebel Holiday Tournament at Douglas Freeman Thursday.

The Hawks overcame a 16-point deficit to defeat Powhatan 66-64 on Wednesday, but failed to pull off the same type of comeback in the final in a 71-57 loss to Freeman.

In the semifinal, the Hawks led Powhatan after one quarter of play, but the Indians dominated the second quarter.

Powhatan outscored Hanover by 15 in the period, and took a 13-point lead into the halftime break.

But in the second half, the Hawks began to creep back into the game, using defensive pressure to create turnovers and easy points at the end of the third quarter and into the fourth.

Donnell Sims paced the offensive attack for Hanover with 29 points, including a 7-0 stretch on his own to bring the Hawks within striking distance.

Head coach Darren Thornton credited his bench for the defensive surge.

“It really was a full effort, but Tyler McCormick and Kion Murphy really came in and gave us a spark plug,” Thornton said.

24

66-64. Powhatan had a chance to tie or take the lead, but was unable to capitalize on the looks, giving Hanover a spot in Thursday’s final.

Will Fahed added 18 points in the victory.

In the final against Freeman, Hanover looked to continue the momentum found in the fourth quarter against Powhatan and jumped out to an 11-0 lead.

However, the host Rebels answered with a 17-0 run to end the quarter, and never relinquished fell behind again. The Hawks fell victim to Freeman’s slowed pace on offense and had trouble solving the defense.

“I thought we started the game off real well ... then we got a little stagnant. The zone slowed us down a little bit, then we played at their pace,” Thornton said. “That’s the piece that hurt us. We tried to speed it up in the second half. Third quarter we were able to do that, but fourth quarter they slowed it back down on us.”

Hanover attempted to make a second-half comeback for the second straight day behind the offense of Sims (25 points, four 3-pointers) and Fahed (14 points, four 3-pointers).

The Hawks brought the deficit Dave Lawrence/The Local down to six with just under Lee-Davis’ Devin Christian (1) goes up for two of his team-high 18 points in the Confederates’ 91-69 loss to Caroline in the three minutes to play in the Southerner Holiday Classic final at Lee-Davis Thursday.

Scrappy Yellow Jackets fight for comeback win in tournament final ASHLAND – In the first half of the R-MC Coaches Tournament championship on Saturday evening, RandolphMacon was doing everything right on its home floor — the defense was sound and shots were falling to open up a 17-point lead. An easy win appeared to be looming.

But as Hobart turned the deficit around to take a fivepoint lead late, it seemed as if the Yellow Jackets had reverted to the team that saw two second-half collapses turn into two losses just before their winter break.

“There it goes again,”

the Rebels that included nine consecutive points from the free throw line to put the game out of reach.

Thornton said the free throw line, where Freeman outscored Hanover 17-2, and rebounding provided a big difference in the game’s outcome.

“We really got out-rebounded on the glass today. We gave up a lot of second and third shots and we didn’t make our layups,” he said. “We didn’t get to the free throw line – that’s a big difference in the game, especially when you’re down, you want to get to the free throw line so you can get points on the board with the clock stopped.”

Randolph-Macon’s Buzz Anthony thought to himself as the lead dwindled.

Instead of absorbing another confidence-crushing loss, the Yellow Jackets battled back, and led by a 9-0 run from Anthony to close the game, RandolphMacon got the tournament trophy with a 59-57 win over the Statesmen.

After Randolph-Macon took a 31-18 lead into halftime, Anthony came out of the locker room to score the first points of the second half. But as the Yellow Jackets continued to crumble on the offensive end, Anthony was made to wait until Macon trailed 55-50 with only 1:49 to play to see his number called again— and then he took

over.

Two layups from Anthony cut the lead to 55-54 with 1:04 to play. With an old-fashioned 3-point play with 35 seconds to go, he brought Macon back into the lead once more at 57-55 before two free throws sealed the win late.

Anthony finished with a game-high 16 points on 6-of-7 shooting and was named tournament MVP. “I got the first one wideopen, and we went back to the same play. The second one was a little more challenging, but I kind of got it going,” Anthony said of his first two layups down the stretch.

Despite the loss in the final, Thornton found the holiday tournament experience beneficial for his team going forward into 2018.

“It gave us a chance to get some practice. We are a young team. I would expect them to have a surge in the second half of the season,” he said. “Guys are starting to understand what we’re trying to do, understanding what each other can do.

We’re just trying to get better every time we step on the floor.”

in a 91-69 victory.

Lee-Davis advanced to the tournament final with a 79-28 victory over King and Queen Central Wednesday night. It took the Confederates awhile to get their offense going Thursday, but once they did, they showed lots of hustle – just not always accompanied with a field goal.

But Lee-Davis head coach Chad Bishop was happy with the Confederates’ effort.

“We scored 79 and 69 points in these two games. We probably should have scored more than that,” Bishop said. “But we missed layups – 15 layups in the first half [Thursday]. Fifteen layups in the first half, two starters on the bench with three fouls apiece, and we’re down by 10 [at the half]. We’re OK.” While their offense was

holding its own, they let Caroline’s deadly long-range attack get off virtually unmolested.

“The second half we didn’t close out on some 3-point shooters. Like I told the guys in the locker room, it was the difference in the game,” Bishop said. “We can either chip away, or we can let them knock down 3s.”

The Cavaliers – led by Mukai Smith’s five 3-pointers – finished with 24 long-range points.

Eventually the Confederates adjusted and cooled Caroline off at the perimeter. They also slowed the Cavaliers’ transition game.

“I thought the guys did a great job in stopping a lot of the transition,” Bishop said. “We see TOURNEYS, pg. 26

“The third one – I was just in the zone and I finished.”

Anthony is just 10 games into his college career, but after creating a bond with coach Josh Merkel during his recruitment, the true freshman point guard says the confidence Merkel has in him “means the world.”

Merkel was equal in his praise of Anthony.

“He’s a tough kid. He’s a basketball guy,” said Merkel. “He was making the unselfish play and then he took over late. He’s very steady, and he plays with poise. … and he made a couple plays down the stretch that

changed the game.”

Anthony said that he’s still learning and was working through mistakes, much like the rest of the roster at Randolph-Macon as the Yellow Jackets look to shore up their play in the second half as the team re-enters Old Dominion Athletic Conference play with Shenandoah visiting on Wednesday.

“You start over every day.

On Monday, we’ve got to get back to basics and get better,” Merkel said.

“This win doesn’t mean a whole lot to Shenandoah.

They’re going to come after us, and these guys are looking forward to another opportunity to take a step and get better.”
