Sheriff: pride, partners create successful office By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

MECHANICSVILLE – Pride and partners – those are the two words Col. David R. Hines said best describe the operations of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. Hines will be presenting his budget proposal today during the regular meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. Last Wednesday, he talked about what makes his department unique and special in how they serve the county.

Citizen contact is especially important to the sheriff, as his office logged over 350,000 in the last year. There were two, as he called them, “founded” complaints, in 2017. To counter that, the sheriff said, “We had over 500 letters of commendation for excellent service. This is not something that happens in one year. Over the last four years we’ve had over 1.2 million citizen contacts; almost 3,000 letters of commendation and seven founded citizen complaints.

“Recruiting for law enforcement has just become a challenge, and it’s not just a challenge for us; it’s a challenge metrowide, statewide and nationwide.” COL. DAVID R. HINES Sheriff, Hanover County

Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, is scheduled to address the Hanover County Board of Supervisors today with his budget presentation.

You could not give gifts away free on a street corner and get those kinds of numbers.” An ongoing issue in the Sheriff ’s Office has been filling vacant positions. There are eight open as recruitment continues. Eleven recruits are undergoing training in the Hanover County Criminal Justice Academy. “Recruiting for law enforce-

ment has become a challenge, and it’s not just a challenge for us; it’s a challenge metrowide, statewide and nationwide,” Hines said. “Honestly, we’re in better shape than most agencies because of the public we serve. Our communities like their law enforcement and our law enforcement loves work-

Arrest made in stolen vehicle case Staff Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER -- Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office deputies have arrested and charged Trevor J. Watson, 26, of Mechanicsville, with two counts of grand larceny and one count of petit larceny. According to Sgt. James R. Cooper, public information officer for the HCSO, deputies observed a male subject on the morning of Wednesday, Feb. 7, in the Battlefield Green subdivision. “Deputies set up surveillance and observed the male

subject in a vehicle leaving the neighb o r hood. A traffic stop was c o n WATSON ducted and the driver was identified as Trevor Watson,” Cooper said. After an extensive investigation, the sergeant said it was later determined that Watson had stolen the vehicle he was driving and was found in pos-

session of stolen property from vehicles within the neighborhood. “The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office continues to encourage everyone to lock your vehicle(s) and to remove all valuables any time your vehicle is unattended,” Cooper continued. “The Sheriff ’s Office also requests that if suspicious activity is observed, please contact the Hanover County Emergency Communications Center immediately. This is a crime of opportunity.” “If you live in the area of

the Battlefield Green subdivision and had property stolen from your vehicle, and have not already reported it to the Sheriff ’s Office,” Cooper said, “please contact us immediately.” Anyone with more information about this incident is asked to contact the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office at 804-365-6140 or the Metro Richmond Crime Stoppers at 804-780-1000.

ing within our communities. It’s always been that partnership that not only have we worked hard to sustain but I think our public has worked hard to sustain it.” Moving forward, Hines said he will make “a conscious decision that I will leave a position vacant before I lower our standards to just fill the position. Our citizens deserve to be served by the finest men and women we can find and the people that we have in the Sheriff ’s Office deserve to work with the finest.” He said he and his department “will continue to hire based on the character of the individual. We can train people to be police officers, deputy sheriffs; I can’t teach character at this point, so we hire based on character and I think looksibilities of a franchised citizen. The training is objective and practical with city, county and state governments operated by the students elected to the various offices. Activities include legislative sessions, court proceedings, law enforcement presentations, assemblies plus band, chorus and sports recreational programs. Interested students are urged to visit the Boys and Girls State websites at www.vaboysstate.org and www.vagirlsstate.org

ing back and going forward it’s been one of the reasons for our success.” Today, he gets to share the news with the supervisors that Hanover County’s crime rate is the lowest since 1976 at 9.6%, “which means that 9.6 citizens were a victim of a crime out of 1,000 citizens.” “At the same time that we’re reporting one of our lowest crime rates, we’re also reporting one of the highest clearance rates we’ve ever had, which is 70.7%, which means that all of the crimes reported to us we have cleared 70.7% of that crime,” the sheriff added. Again, Hines turned his attention to the people of Hanover County. “None of this is possible without the community support; I truly do mean every citizen. Their support -whether it’s through an organization or just an individual -- is see SHERIFF, pg. 5

crucial to Hanover County continuing to be a safe place to live and work and raise a family.” “I know that sounds cliché, but it’s just the truth,” he continued. “Law enforcement cannot do it by itself; it has to have a community that’s willing to serve alongside its law enforcement.” In the early 1990s, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, under the leadership of Col. V. Stuart Cook, developed the motto, “We are a part of not a part from the community.” “When I became the sheriff, I never changed that motto,” Hines said, “because I believe in it so much and I just know in my heart that without community support, without being part of the community, no law enforcement agency can protect

and this type of commitment -- not only from the Sheriff ’s Office but from the community -- to be involved that helps keep us safe.” The fall season the past two years saw the community spirit with a Fellowship Festival that attracted 5,000 people in 2014 and over 6,000 in 2017. While he is pleased with the overall operation of his office and the men and women who serve, Hines said they do face challenges, including being prepared to deal with terrorist threats. “We have to be conscious that crime doesn’t stop at our borders, and the best way for us to stem crime from affecting our community is through higher visibility and we continue to do that today,” he said. The sheriff and his administration place more than 72% of their work force in uniform

patrols, because they want the high visibility of the cruisers “because that’s how you prevent crime.” “We’ll have to stay in pace as Hanover County grows, I’ve made it no secret,” Hines said. “I’ve asked the board to consider us as an infrastructure of the county just as you would water and sewage and roadways.” “If you cannot provide infrastructure to a new development you wouldn’t build it, and we’re part of that infrastructure,” he added. “So, as we continue to grow as a county, the Sheriff ’s Office will have to grow with it or we’ll lose pace.” As for next year’s budget, Hines said, “We’ll be looking at what we call our most valuable asset and that’s our people.” He said they also will “have to look at compensation, com-

its citizens.” The support system for Hines and his department continues to increase with specialized watch groups, including: Worship Watch with 146 churches. Business Watch: 450 businesses. Neighborhood Watch: 140 neighborhood groups. Those extra “eyes” keeping tabs on the goings-on in Hanover County have paid off as Hines noted a decline in robberies and break-ins. The department’s SHIELD program is used, Hines said, “as an umbrella to communicate to not only our formal groups but also to individual citizens that wish to participate with us. We estimate that we’re communicating with over 72,000 of our citizens and that’s out of a population of 107,000.” “It’s these types of programs

How does skin color define superiority? By Melody Kinser Managing Editor After the tragic events that took place in August in Charlottesville, a friend in Southern California asked how the day went so horribly wrong, with three people losing their lives. It’s taken all this time to attempt -- not successfully I might add -- to comprehend the assembly that spun so out of control. For starters, I don’t understand how any white person takes a self-proclaimed superiority stance. And, for the record, I’m as white as they get: My ancestors came to the United States from England, Denmark, Scotland and Germany. But that does not define me. I am a Christian and I believe we are all created

equal by our God Almighty. He loves all, so how is it that some people think whites are better than other races? While we’ve always known there were those lurking in the shadows with their hatred for people of color, the full-on public display of racism and anti-Semitism has taken center stage in the last year or so. Without a doubt, my opinion does change when I learn someone is a racist. But, don’t think for one minute that I hate that person. No, I take my concerns to prayer. I pray for this country every night and what it will be when younger loved ones (I have a 16-month-old great-nephew whose future worries me daily) become teens and adults.

So many times the words of the late Rodney King ring through my head: “Can’t we all just get along?” You’ll recall he was the black man beaten by Los Angeles Police Department officers in March 1991 after a high-speed car chase. A witness videotaped the incident. I’ve never disliked or avoided anyone based on their skin color. I try to be a better person and not dislike anyone -- if that’s possible. Sometimes it takes a lot of prayer. I don’t understand the mindset of those who consider themselves white supremacists. How are they superior or entitled? As for me, I’ll continue to pray for a united America. This division is frightening on so many levels. We all are created equal.

The lesssons we learn in life outside of school By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I’m a product of 1950s style parenting, and long before Dr. Spock’s advice filled books, my parents had their own set of unique techniques when it came to child-rearing. As I look back, some of the methods seem harsh, or even silly, but most have stood the test of time and have provided a blueprint for the way I raise

and have raised my children. Being one of the aforementioned 1950 era babies, I was, like most of the kids on my block, the child of a man who had served his country several years earlier during World War II. Many of my fellow Baby Boomers will attest to the influence that experience had on our fathers, and how, sometimes, that faded glimpse of regiment leaked into our lives. Our mornings began the same

each day. “Hit the deck!” my father would yell from a strategic point in our hall that seemed to amplify his first order of the day. We didn’t have to point our sleepy eyes to the old kitchen clock that sat on the wall in our bedroom, because we knew it had to be 7 a.m. Rarely was the first announcement ignored, but a second call always sounded closer and more impending

and never dismissed. Our morning routine must have reminded him of his days in the United States Army, identical to the monotony and sameness of a bugle blast announcing reveille. Now, I could easily pull on the jeans that served as a uniform in my early school years, but could never get the always too long bottoms even. I’d situate myself on the bed and see LESSONS pg. 7

Responding to letter about schools’ names (Editor’s note: The following is in response to a Jan. 24, 2018, letter titled “Former resident wants school names changed.”) Susanna Speier of Denver, Colorado, chummed up yet another original, tragic event from almost 30 years ago about how her life was irrevocably harmed to the point she new at 16years old the whole of Hanover County was just some “backwater and racist” place fixated on “heritage.” Wow, no doubt her astute understanding of history didn’t get in the way of that opinion -- maybe read a book on the subject. Because your naive view on the Confederacy lends me to believe you are still home schooling yourself. Your skin color matters not, it’s your political agenda. It’s taken 30 odd years for you to express your feelings, so your antics ring hollow. Ms. Speier, it’s a building with letters on the front. Last I looked there were no “Slaves wanted signs” out front. And if you really are offended, do something about it. John St. George Mechanicsville

Middle school’s name supported by resident It seems to me that those who chose to name the middle school lacked the dignity in not calling his given name. I think it was more important to use the name Thomas J. or Thomas Jonathan Jackson. I will say that the people who selected his name made a good choice, for he was dearly beloved and respected by his men and citizens of the Confederacy. see LETTERS, pg. 7

Daddy would meticulously roll up the cuffs, ending each alteration with a solid snap that permanently sealed his work for the day. While others had cuffs that looked more rolled than snapped, mine were precision folds with uniform width. Watching him make those perfect cuffs was something I watched with great care, and I was always amazed at his unique ability. It’s the same feeling I got when I watched him tie what he called a Windsor knot with his necktie each morning. When it came to education, my father believed it came in all forms and from all directions. Once or twice a year, my sister or I would be selected to accompany him for the day as he traveled the state selling tires for a local tire manufacturer for large machinery and commercial fleets. Somewhere along the numerous stops, he made sure we visited some historic site in the area. It might be a state park, an historic home or a battlefield, but always an adventure and, every once in a while, we actually learned something.

Woody Hicks Mechanicsville

Widow thankful to business for compassion I wish to commend in this letter a Mechanicsville business, Deep Roots, hair salon on Bell Creek Road. My husband passed away in December and visitation was scheduled for friends and family within a short time following his death. I needed attention in presenting myself during this time and showed up

Sometimes, we visited farmers who bought tractor tires, and other times we called on contractors who used large earth-moving machines. Like every fourth-grader in Virginia, I was required to make a Virginia History project. After choosing tourism as the theme for my project, I began collecting pamphlets for my scrapbook presentation. When my father told me I could accompany him to Williamsburg, the assignment seemed like a cinch. We arrived at the newly constructed Visitors Center, and my father met with a man regarding their fleet of vehicles. While he talked in a closed office, I gazed at the wall of pamphlets, a selection I could have never imagined. I didn’t know where to start. After selecting four or five brochures, a lady came out from behind the desk and told me not to take any more. At 9 years old, I wasn’t prepared to explain or argue. To that lady’s misfortune, my father saw the whole incident as he exited the office. He calmly shook hands with the account executive and walked slowly toward the area where I stood still feeling that pit of my stomach that accompanies

immense embarrassment. He walked past me and toward the desk and spoke quietly to the lady, but I saw the look on his face well enough to know I was glad someone else was on the receiving end. He walked over to where I was standing and told me to take all the brochures I needed or thought I would need to complete the project. Now, I still don’t know what was said in that brief conversation, but I’ve learned since that some of life’s most precious lessons are subtle, leaving only a clue or hint to its real meaning. I’m also not sure what was learned at Crestview Elementary School that day, but I’m convinced it couldn’t have been as meaningful or poignant as the directive my father provided in Williamsburg. I’m not sure kids take workdays with their dads and moms these days, but it’s a practice that might deserve resurrection. I can affirm their educational value, not to mention the excitement and anticipation of an adventure on a day when all of your friends are sitting in class. I hope my kids aren’t reading this.

es that the county faces and have always worked hard to partner with county administration, and I think our budget reflects that.” The Sheriff ’s Office developed a five-year plan with the county administration and the board,” the sheriff said, “and we stayed within that five-year plan of hiring five new deputies. So we’ve asked for five new deputy positions.” He also is seeking to purchase mobile data terminals,

replacement tasers, and body armor. “As we move forward, we will continue we do our best each year to be good stewards of taxpayer dollars, and we do our best every year to work with county administration,” Hines said. He beams when he talks about his staff. “I just can’t be more proud of the men and women of the Sheriff ’s Office, because it’s their attitude and

their professionalism that leads to this type of service. This type of service is what our citizens should always demand from their law enforcement, and every community should demand it from theirs.” “You can’t be successful in law enforcement by being an occupying force; you have to be a part of the community and work every day as one to be successful,” Hines said.

One proposal, particularly, has snagged the attention of Continued from pg. 7 county residents: a land use change to expand the Suburban Service Area (SSA) at Hylas. The expansion includes the portion of land between Pouncey Tract Road and the Goochland County line. The 2017 Comprehensive The rationale?

ture of Hanover, Henrico and Goochland counties. The change will purportedly make for more orderly, coordinated development among the three localities. Commercial nodes and zones, however well-intentioned, always risk becoming eyesores. County residents are witnessing this ugliness right now on U.S. 301 from Interstate 295 northward to the courthouse complex. The cycle continues parcel by parcel: trees felled, topsoil scraped, more traffic lights, more traffic congestion, more light pollution, more impervious surface, more corners dominated by jumbo fuel-oramas. There are less impactful ways to develop and still retain community character. Citizens

should advocate for them. Could developers be encouraged to come up with better design standards? Native plants instead of junk horticulture would be an immense improvement. Especially at the interface of rural and Suburban Service Areas, some creative zoning might make a more pleasant juxtaposition. In the case of a big farm selloff, ordinances to encourage small farmstead parcels instead of a gargantuan housing tract might be less costly for the environment and the county budget. For the sake of communitybased planning, citizens need to think creatively, add their voice and engage their government. Pattie Bland Hanover

Ashland starting budget talks with public hearing By Melody Kinser Managing Editor ASHLAND – An unofficial public hearing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 20, will kick off budget season for Ashland Town Council and provide citizens, businesses and community members an opportunity to address their interests and concerns as the process moves forward.

For that reason the Town has scheduled a significant number of additional opportunities for public input into the budget process. Please take advantage of the following opportuFARRAR nities.” A budget work session is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, March 12. At that time, Town Manager Joshua Farrar will introduce the budget and discuss revenues and requests for funding

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Sosa, shown on the left,435797, is a 2Â˝-year-old male chow. He has been neutered and has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Sosa is a really cool dog. He was surrendered last month due to the previous owner having to move. Sosa is house trained and loves to play. Once he is used to someone, he does not leave your side. Sosa gets along well with other dogs. He will make a very good housemate. Conan, 504330, is a 2-year-old (estimated) male mastiff. He has been neutered and has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Conan is a big ball of love and energy. He is super playful. Conan has been at the Animal Shelter for about one month. He loves to be walked on a leash. He also does well with dogs. He is really strong and will probably benefit from some additional training, but Conan will be a great companion for someone who can keep him busy. For more information on these great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day.

“I would just like to say how pleased I am with the treatment I’ve been getting. I originally came in for an abscessed tooth in incredible pain back in July 2017. I called based on reviews online. I was able to be seen immediately. I was very nervous of what was going to happen. I have neglected my teeth for many years and feared the worse. I did end up losing that one tooth that day. But since then I have had several visits that I have been poked and drilled on. Not once have I felt uncomfortable or nervous.

Lee-Davis wrestlers claim regional crown By Mckenzie Terrell Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Lee Davis High School hosted and won the Class 5 Region B wrestling championships on Saturday. Lee Davis finished the tournament with 216 points and went 5-1 in the final round. Fisher Evans of Lee Davis, winner of the 152-pound title, pinned his opponent, Ibram Bector of Hermitage, in 1:49. Evans, a senior ranked No. 1 in the Times-Dispatch’s ranking, was excited about his win. Following his match, he ran off the mat hugging everyone around him. “Getting the ‘W’ for regionals in my senior year feels pretty good,” Evans said after receiving his first-place medal. Evans went into his final match telling himself he was going to do what he does best. He is keeping the same mentality going into state tournament. “I wasn’t going to treat it any different from any other match,” Evans said. “I’m going to do the same thing as I did yesterday and today (at the state meet), go out there and do my best.” Lee Davis’ Andy Aldridge, a sophomore, also pulled a victory in the final round. Aldridge won on a technical fall 18-2 against senior Stephen Call of Atlee. While on the mat, Aldridge told himself he would put as

POWHATAN – If you blinked during Powhatan senior Collin Gerardi’s Region 4B championship match against King George’s Teddy Buckley, you might have missed it. Gerardi pinned his opponent in just 48 seconds, which sealed his fourth consecutive region title as the Indians had three region champions and finished second overall to Eastern View in the team race on Saturday at Powhatan High School. “I’ve worked hard every single year,” Gerardi said. “This one feels even more special because we got to have it here in my home gym.” The Cyclones and Indians went head to head in the first two weight classes of the championship round.

Hanover boys earn first region swim crown By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – For a while, it looked like Monacan’s boys might thwart Hanover’s bid for its first region title at the Region 4B swim championships at SwimRVA Friday night. But the Hawks’ depth provided them the boost they needed to pull away from the Chiefs in the final events and claim that elusive championship by a 60-point margin, 313353. But the Chiefs, in their first year of varsity competition, did not go away empty handed. Their girls held off a charging King George 468-449 to claim the Region 4B girls title. “It was an outstanding day,” said Hanover head coach George Massey. “We came close last year, got second. This year we finally got over the hump, finally got a region title.” Midlothian (289 points), King George (247) and Courtland (243) rounded out the top five boys teams. Patrick Henry finished sixth with 181 points. On the girls side, Monacan was followed by King George (449 points), Courtland (230),

Singleton had no complaints. “I couldn’t be more proud of both teams,” he said. “They did an outstanding job. They worked hard all year. We had our first year in VHSL swimming. It was a new experience for us and I couldn’t be happier with our outcome.” The 500 freestyle gave the Hawk boys a bit of separation from Monacan in team standings, but the race that sealed their lead was the 200 freestyle relay. The Chiefs built up a lead over the first two legs of the relay, but Patrick Townsend overtook Monacan’s Garrison Johnson on the third leg. The anchor was a nailbiter. The Chiefs’ Michael Heinrich initially regained the lead over Hanover’s Luke Daley, but Daley gutted it out on the final lap and just beat Heinrich to the wall in 1:30.19. “We pulled out that by half a second,” Massey said. “That was a huge race and a huge victory for the team. … It gets the kids very excited.

Midlo athletes dominate again in Region 4B By Parker Cotton Richmond Times-Dispatch RICHMOND – The Midlothian girls team had won a region indoor track and field championship in each of Addison Sanders’ first three years in school. She helped the Trojans make that 4 for 4 on Thursday at the Arthur Ashe Center, where Midlothian scored 114.5 team points to edge Louisa County (103.5) for the crown. “The girls were really able to work together,” said Sanders, who won the high jump by clearing 5 feet and winning a tiebreaker on scratches. “Being a senior, it’s exciting to leave Midlo with another region championship. It’s very exciting to continue the tradition.” Louisa County’s boys compiled 94.5 points to win, beating Dinwiddie by 2 points. Sanders collected extra points for the Trojans by helping anchor the 4x200 relay that won in 1 minute, 55.37 seconds. She teamed with Dasia Hardy, Jaleeya Jennings and Lisa Richburg to defeat Chancellor by .31 seconds. Sanders also placed seventh in the 55 meters (7.80). Midlothian also got a championship from Nia Lloyd in the shot put after a toss of 38 feet, 8.5 inches. Other standouts for the Trojans included Erin Babashak, returning from an illness to place second in the triple jump (34-1); Hardy placing third in the 55 meters (7.75) and third in the 300 meters (46.16); Caroline Bowe and Chloe Martin taking second and third in the 1,000 meters in 3:16.55 and 3:21.74, respectively; McKenna Dunn placing second in the pole vault (11-6); and Ashlyn Ferguson grabbing second in the 500 meters (1:24.69).

Hanover’s Rachel Cryster finishes first in the 1000-meter run in 3:12:29 in the Region 4B indoor championships Thursday.

“We had a lot of girls step up,” Trojans coach Stan Morgan said. “We got a lot of help out of the field events and the track.” Dinwiddie’s boys led for much of the day but saw Louisa County overtake them in the final events. “The younger kids, you hope this is a growing process for them,” Generals coach

Leslie Young said. “You hope they understand how good they can be. My older guys, they did what they were supposed to do. I knew what I was going to get from Azabien Prince and Cirdale Lucess and Tyrize Claud. But my younger guys, I hope this will be excellent motivation for them to take it to the next level.”

Prince was particularly busy, winning the long jump (20-10), placing second in the triple jump (42-10) and taking third in the 55 meters (6.81). But his teammates also put on a show. Lucess won the triple jump (43-5.5), placed third in the long jump (19-9.5) and took second in the 55 meters (6.76). Claud won the 55-meter hur-

dles (7.96) and was sixth in the triple jump (41-10.5). Prince said it is easier for him to train when he has other strong athletes pushing him in practice. “It just motivates me,” Prince said. “We care about each other. We pick each other up and give it our best.” Elsewhere during the day,

Huguenot’s Tailey Tofoi won the boys 55 meters in 6.70 seconds and won the 300 meters in 39.16 seconds. Max Etka of Midlothian won the 1,600 meters in 4:44.42, and teammate Ryan Townes won the high jump by clearing 6-2, helping the Trojans’ boys team place third with 87 team points. Hanover also posted a strong day on both sides — the girls placed third (95.5 points), the boys fifth (65.50). Makenzie Joiner won the 500 meters (1:22.48), Morgan Ferguson won the 300 meters (45.92), and Rachel Crytser won the 1,000 meters (3:12.29). For the boys, Cole Myers won the 1,000 meters (2:49.40), and Joey Badalamenti won the pole vault (13-9). “Overall, I was real happy,” said Hanover head track and field coach Rich Firth. “The girls finished third. I was real happy with that. I think if a few more things broke our way we could have moved up a place – but they competed hard. “The guys were fifth, but we were a point and a half out of fourth. … The past couple of weeks we had a lot of guys sick with the flu and other types of ailments like that, so we were a little bit weakened. As the meet went on, I pulled some of the kids out of certain events so they could have more rest for later events.” Despite the toll illnesses have taken on the Hawks the past few weeks, they are well set up for the Virginia High School League Class 4 championships at Roanoke College on Feb. 23 and 24. “I think we have the most kids ever at Hanover going to states – I think we have 18 kids going to states,” Firth said. “So, we’re getting there.

Last-second shot lifts Patriots over C-feds much of the game. A late steal and layup by James Wallace brought LeeDavis to within one. After a quick foul, Jamel Jackson made one of two free throws to give the Patriots a 61-59 lead. Lee-Davis drove down the court quickly, but a huge block from the Patriots’ Tysen Brown from underneath the basket stifled the initial game-tying opportunity. Off the inbound pass, Elijah Jones banked home a shot, tying the game at 61 with 19 seconds to go. With momentum squarely on the shoulders of the Confederates, Anderson called a time out to settle his team, and draw up what would be the game winning play. “I told them these were championship minutes,” Anderson said. “Devyn said, ‘Give me the ball,’ and that’s what we did.” Senior leader Jamel Jackson was determined to not end his Patriots’ home career with a loss. “We were not going to let this one slip away; not in our house,” Jackson said. After the game, Lee-Davis coach Chad Bishop had positive words for his team. “I told them I was proud of their effort,” Bishop said. “We forced [Coles] to take a tough shot, and he was able to make it.”

By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Patrick Henry coach Randy Anderson had been waiting all year for Devyn Coles to step up and hit a big shot. On Friday night, Coles did just that. He hit a last-second game winning jump shot to give the host Patriots a 63-61 victory over rival Lee-Davis in the Patriots’ home finale. “That was the biggest shot of my life,” Coles said following the emotional victory. “I told coach I wanted the ball, and it felt good as soon as it left my hand.” The Confederates had one last chance to cap off their comeback following the Coles go-ahead shot. A half court desperation heave by Avery Fusco was just off the mark, and as the final buzzer sounded, the Patriot faithful went into a frenzy, storming the court in celebration. “I give kudos to Lee-Davis,” said coach Anderson after the game. “This is their fourth game this week and they took us down to the wire. “The last play ended up in Devyn’s hands and he made a big shot. It’s the last game of the regular season, and that is a great way to go out. I’m proud of him and all these guys.” The Patriots never trailed in the contest, scoring the first seven points and keeping a comfortable lead for a majority of the game. Lee-Davis struggled to find a rhythm on offense, and costly turnovers led to easy points on the other end for Patrick Henry. A late run in second quarter helped the Confederates to gain some momentum going into the locker room down 28-22 at halftime. The Patriots stormed out in the second half with the same drive they opened the game

tinued to allow precious chances to slip away with turnovers and missed second and third shot opportunities on the offensive end. Despite facing adversity

for much of the night, the Confederates willed themselves back into the fight, providing for a very memorable ending. Down 11 with just over two minutes left, the Lee-

Davis comeback was on. Consecutive 3-point shots by Devin Christian, Fusco, and Dontae Baker finally provided the offensive momentum the Confederates were missing for

Atlee was led by Andrew Cook with a game-high 17 points. Carson Miller had 14 points and Tyler Warren 10 for the Raiders. Jaylin Ross and D.J. Simms led the Hawks with 11 and 10 points, respectively.

It was the supporting cast, however, that caught the eye of coach Phillip Cobb. “We put a complete game together,” Cobb said. “We had scoring from multiple girls [including Cali Deshazo, Jamie Hughes, and Blair Rhodes] and were able to limit turnovers and rebound.” Hanover girls overcome Lauren Foley led the slow start Confederates with 8 points.

McMillin came back from a 7-3 deficit to Dillon Werth of Eastern View to tie the bout at 8-8 just before the third period ended. Werth had the upper hand in the second overtime, but McMillin came back from that as well to score a point to tie it at 10. Then, in the ultimate tiebreaker round, McMillin was able to control Werth for the entire 30 seconds and was named the winner. “I knew coming into it that he was going to be a very aggressive wrestler,” McMillin said. “I knew I had to weather the storm.

King George edged Dinwiddie for third, with the Foxes scoring 153.5 and the Generals 151.5. Louisa finished fifth in the region, followed by Hanover, Monacan, Caroline, Midlothian, Patrick Henry, Chancellor, Huguenot and Courtland. Louisa’s Austin Mills (145) and Monacan’s Ethan Carpenter (154) also were region champions. Hanover had just two wrestlers reach the finals: Will Gaugler, who finished runnerup in the 120-pound division; and Michael Wilcox, who was runner-up in the 195-pound class.

onship round 4.5 points behind Matoaca, and needed bonus points to overtake the Warriors when Adelstein stepped on the mat for the 220-pound championship match – a decision, worth just three points, wouldn’t do. Adelstein needed a more decisive and higher scoring result. Atlee head coach Gabe Lavey didn’t tell Adelstein what the team needed, though. “He had no idea,” Lavey said. “I didn’t want him to know. He wrestles hard, you know, and if he’s got something in the back of his mind, he might not wrestle as hard. He might go a little over the top – he’s trying to pin everybody he wrestles.” But Adelstein fell behind early. By the start of the second round, however, the momentum had shifted in his favor. He pinned his opponent, Matoaca’s

Carlos Esquivel, at the 3:16 mark to put the Raiders in second place. He did not find out what he had done for the team until he and Lavey met at the scorers’ table to sign the score sheet. “I was happy that I won, first of all,” Adelstein said. “Once I heard that I brought the team back up to second, I mean – that’s the best.” The top four wrestlers from each weight division advance to the Virginia High School League Class 5 championships Friday and Saturday at O.C.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 There is strength in numbers if you align yourself with the right team, Taurus. Collaboration is the name of the game this week. Jockey for your position, but share the work. GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, if you are approaching an emotional overload, you will need to schedule time to decompress. Find an activity that relaxes you and delve into that to clear your head.

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, you are the eternal optimist this week. As a result, you may not be able to accurately assess all situations. Ask a friend for advice before making any big decisions.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you make friends easily, and this week your social circle figures to expand even further. Embrace this opportunity and enjoy beginning a new relationship.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, even if you have been relatively good at managing money, you may need to tighten the pursestrings for the next few weeks. Financial discipline now will pay dividends later.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, some of your most innovative ideas may be met with lukewarm responses. Do not let this derail your plans. You just need to be a little more persuasive.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Contradictions should not surprise you this week, Virgo. Focus on fixing as much as you can while you have an opportunity to do so. It’s a big job.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 You are very good at giving others credit, Sagittarius. But this week people may be singing your praises. It’s fine to be modest about it, but don’t downplay your contributions.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, do not fear if you seem to be falling out of sync with a close friend. There will be ample opportunities to rekindle the relationship. Right now you may need a breather. AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a romantic relationship can be taken to a new level when buried desires come to the surface. Give yourself plenty of time to pursue these feelings. PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this is a week when you want to double-check everything that you do. Be sure to dot every ‘I’ and cross every ‘T.’ Details matter.
