MECHANICSVILLE -- More than 800 Hanover County residents packed the lunchroom at Oak Knoll Middle School Thursday evening for a community meeting regarding the proposed 1.1 million-squarefoot Wegmans Distribution Center near Sliding Hill and New Ashcake Roads just east of the Hanover County Airport.

Representatives from Wegmans and county officials fielded questions from residents of several neighborhoods located close to the proposed development regarding traffic, safety property values, and quality of life.

The Hanover County Planning Commission will hear Wegmans’ application for an adjustment of proffers later this month. The 217-acre site was zoned M-1 in 1995. “The takeaway for us is that

there are a couple of dozen key concerns that were documented that we are going to sit down and address and try to make this a project that’s better for everybody,� said Dan Aken, director of real estate and site development for Wegmans,

following the meeting.

Aken explained the company’s decision to locate a new warehouse facility at the Hanover location.

The Rochester, New Yorkbased company currently operates 101 stores, the major-

ity located in the Northeast corridor.

The proximity to Interstate 95 and the fact that the property was “already zoned� were major factors in the company’s decision to locate in Hanover. see WEGMANS, pg. 12

RICHMOND -- Mary Evans didn’t run out to the store to buy a Powerball ticket.

There was no need: She was already covered.

The Mechanicsville woman bought her tickets using the Virginia Lottery’s “subscribe online” function to play from her home.

One of her tickets matched the first five numbers in the Jan. 22 Powerball drawing to win the game’s $1 million prize.

“I bought a subscription because it was convenient,” she told Lottery officials. “I didn’t have to go to a store to buy it.”

The winning numbers for the Jan. 22 drawing were 11-33-44-59-67, and the Powerball number was 8. On Jan. 24, she received the big check from Lottery officials.

Subscriptions are offered by the Virginia Lottery for Powerball, Mega Millions and Cash4Life to give players the opportunity to buy tickets online.

Subscriptions are available to any Virginia

resident, 18 or older, who is located within Virginia at the time of purchase. For more information, visit http://www.valottery.com/ subscribe.

The Virginia Lottery is good fun for a great cause. Evans lives Hanover County, which received more than $4.9 million in Lottery funds for K-12 public education in Fiscal Year 2019. For more information and a complete list of Lottery funds distributed to Virginia school districts, visit the Virginia Lottery’s Giving Back page.

The Virginia Lottery generates more than $1.7 million per day for Virginia’s K-12 public schools. Operating entirely on revenue from the sale of Lottery products, the Lottery generated a record $650 million for Virginia’s public schools in Fiscal Year 2019.

An additional $6.5 million in unclaimed prizes was deposited in the Virginia Literary Fund in FY19, which provides low-interest loans to localities for public school construction, renovations and technology upgrades.

Hometown Realty headed to Oaklawn Make this Valentine’s Day One She’ll Remember!

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

STACKABLE

With a Gift From

Jim Ridolphi/The Local

Hometown Realty will be moving into Oaklawn, above, located off Studley Road in Mechanicsville. Todd Rogers, co-owner, addressed the Hanover County Board of Supervisors about his company’s plans.

a number of concerns at a November community meeting, citing excessive noise, operating hours, light spillage, use of alcohol, and number of events.

Following that meeting, the applicant offered proffers addressing those issues that included limiting the number of events and hours operation and banning amplified music after 8 p.m. during the week.

Even with the concessions, adjoining neighbors said the event venue would have a drastic effect on the lives of their families with many of their bedrooms adjacent to the Oaklawn rear yard.

Emily Davis, a mother of two and Garrison Manor resident, said she had no issue with the office use.

“Our issue with the CUP is the event space,” Davis said.

“The events that are being applied for are at the core of this. We are just concerned parents who are trying to protect the well-being of our children.”

She expressed her appre-

ciation for Hometown’s desire to preserve the property, but added, “There are other options for this property that would not be so intrusive for our family and children.”

The Planning Commission recommended approval of the CUP and rezoning requests regarding office use, but denied the venue application.

“Moving forward, we’d certainly like to get the office space going,” Rogers said after several neighbors expressed concerns regarding the venue space. “We’re thinking about the venue space now, because we’re trying to be a good neighbor and good business partner.”

Rogers said Hometown is willing to take another look at the venue proposal and offer more conditions followed by a second review by the Planning Commission “if we decide to pursue that.”

“Our intent is to try and do something unique with this property — not to tear down the house and build who knows how many houses there,” Rogers said. “We’ve been a community partner for 31 years and Hanover County is our home base and we want to make that our headquarters.”

While he said he’s committed to the possibility of making further adjustments in order

to make the event venue more palatable, Rogers conceded there seem to be challenges that can’t be resolved. see HOMETOWN, pg. 13

HANOVER -- An iconic residence in Hanover County is getting a second life thanks to the approval of rezoning and Conditional Use Permit applications approved last month by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

Hometown Realty applied for the adjustments to transform a residence commonly known as Oaklawn, the Patrick Family homestead located off Shady Grove Road, to the local company’s Hanover headquarters.

The applicants had hoped the approval also would permit the company to operate an event venue on the 13-acre site, but residents from neighboring Garrison Manor expressed concerns regarding the event venue portion of the application.

The applicants planned to offer the property for special events like weddings and community events at night and on weekends, hosting up to 250 guests with live music in the rear portion of the property Todd Rogers, co-owner of Hometown Realty, said he heard the collective objections from those neighbors and asked board members to approve only the portions of the application that would permit the operation of an office for the second largest realty company in Central Virginia.

“The thought we had was taking the existing structure and modifying it slightly so we could use it as an office space,” Rogers told the board during a public hearing last month. “We’ve had several conversations with neighbors and it seems like we’re butting our heads a lot with the venue space.”

Residents of the neighboring community expressed

Just when you think you’ve heard it all

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor hen it comes to West Virginia politics, nothing surprises me. Well, that was until Gov. Jim Justice and Liberty University President Jerry Falwell Jr. invited Virginia counties that are against proposed gun laws to secede and become part of the Mountain State.

Without having done any polling, I’m pretty confident that Democrats taking control of our state sparked some outrage in other states. There was a time, however, when Democrat was “the” party of West Virginia.

I was born and raised in West Virginia and remained there until I was almost 49. Democrats were in control when I headed to Virginia.

The tide turned in 2016 when Donald Trump

W

rolled through the Mountain State to victory. At the time, coal miners wanted to believe the industry could be revived (still hasn’t happened), so they put their trust in Trump.

So, let’s get back to the secession proposal.

With a Republican-led Legislature (House of Delegates and Senate) in Charleston and Falwell leading a university based in Lynchburg, Justice and Liberty’s leader put out the welcome mat for Virginians, especially those with concerns about the Second Amendment and pro-lifers.

I am not anti-gun. As I’ve written before, I grew up in a house with handguns and rifles. My father was a decorated marksman in the military.

Yet, the discussion about making Virginia safer merits our attention. Too many innocent children are being killed.

Contact your senators and delegates, as well as the governor, with your opinions.

Maybe I’m too optimistic, but I try to look toward compromise.

It seems Frederick County found its way onto the radar, but apparently there was no enthusiasm for becoming part of West Virginia.

Having worked at The Winchester Star for three years before arriving in Hanover County, I’m very familiar with Frederick County.

I don’t see any benefit for that county to head into West Virginia territory.

I’ll admit West Virginia was an OK place to grow up -- but that has changed significantly.

Crime, drug use, unemployment, illiteracy. I could go on regarding the sad aspects of life in West Virginia.

The reality is that Virginia is a better state with development and opportunities. As a matter of fact, Hanover County is a shining example of those positives.

The obscure quote immediately jars memories of the places, people or things to which I’ve pledged a return, a promise mostly unfulfilled as a lifetime passed and presented new challenges.

How many times have you been in the perfect spot on the perfect vacation and thought: “I’d like to return to this place someday”. At the moment of utterance, it seemed impossible that you could live decades and not return to that location that provided respite, peace, tranquility that represented an escape from the rigors of everyday life.

Inclusion education should be simple in our schools Contributing Columnist Jim Ridolphi wrote an excellent editorial on inclusion (1/29/2020) at a time when Hanover County needs to hear the message. His discussion of the research as well as his personal story about the benefits of inclusive education should be received as what is achievable when inclusion is a mindset and not a place.

If I had to challenge Jim, it would be his statement that “... the real benefits of the innovative programs are the students who leave school with a better understanding of how the world actually works ....”

Inclusive education is not a program. We cannot buy an inclusion package and have all students leave our schools better citizens. “Inclusion is simple” (and right) in concept, yes, but our culture of education is such that it is far from simply existing in our schools, and, therefore, our communities.

I am the parent of a student with a disability who sometimes exhibits challenging behaviors. I also am employed in the county as a substitute teacher and instructional assistant.

I understand the concerns that teachers and parents of students in this county are witnessing in some classroom environments. I have seen them first-hand.

But, because all behavior is communication of some sort, I also know that not all students are fully understood either (whether disabled, dealing with mental health issues, trauma, bullying, challenging home environments, etc.). How are we investing in these young lives that are going to allow them to see their skills, their abilities, their value?

dise for me and many others who made the trek down the Overseas Highway. I was hooked on my first visit in 1975, and, from that day forward, my mind lazily wanders down those tiny islands when the cold winds of winter blow in Richmond.

I made an annual journey to the end of Route 1 for years as life became more routine in the North, noting the changes in the tiny community with each trip, and finding fewer and fewer of the old friends I’d met still hanging around the old Navy town.

But, I kept going back, even when the Conch Republic

became a destination for global visitors, and tourism assumed its role as the main source of income for the island. I returned even when the huge cruise ships dropped thousands of tourists daily for their Key West experience.

When I got the surprising news that we were expecting twins, it was the dead of winter, and, while searching for a response to the stunning announcement, a vision of swaying palms, warm evening breezes and grapefruit-laced shots of vodka danced in my head.

So, our first act of preparation for a momentous event in the lives of any couple, was to pack up our 2-year old daughter and head for Key West. We

spent a lazy week relaxing by the pool, and evenings were filled with long hunched over strolls up and down the long wooden planked floors teaching Sophia how to walk in the lobby of the hotel that Flagler built, finally restored in all of its splendor.

After a few days of total relaxation, I contacted a friend who came to Key West and didn’t leave, and had spent the past two decades of his life living the dream of many who couldn’t muster the courage to do what their heart instructed.

We had a few beers at the Green Parrot, unchanged since my first visit in the 1970s. The crowd, sadly, did not have the same connection with the past.

A corner open air bar once

filled with locals was now a tourist haven, with patrons scrambling to buy a t-shirt or obtain a stack of plastic cups with the logo emblazoned so everyone would know immediately that “I’ve been to Key West, and you haven’t.”

I confided in my friend that somehow I knew this would be my last trip to the Keys.

The impending responsibility of three small children didn’t include Pirate Punch at Captain Tony’s.

To my surprise, he was spending his last season in Key West and was selling his small condo and heading North.

He explained that the sleepy, Southern fishing village to which he had escaped was only a memory and the island

had sold its collective evil and eclectic soul to the devil in the form of wealthy investors who snatched up every piece of available property and built luxury accommodations for a new breed of Conchs.

It was my last visit to the a string of islands still close to my heart and vivid in my mind, and my Florida excursions are now centered around Tampa with relatives.

Although the sun is warm and the water crystal clear, I see few reminders of my days on the Keys. The days are shorter, and the nights are tame and early ending, the lines on my face much deeper.

And maybe Du Marnier was right. You can never go back. What’s left is only a

memory and a word to the wise for those who, as we speak, sit on a bar stool in Captain Tony’s Saloon sipping Pirate Punch under a hanging tree and pledging eternal returns to the once unique hole in the wall watering hole ... and to anyone else willing to listen.

members of the community, and in doing so, begin to realize the achievable goal of providing all children with an authentic sense of belonging.”

Homebound Atlee senior shares story about condition and the love of a dog

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

M

ECHANICSVILLE – Mary Fisher was enjoying life as an Atlee High School student, especially her French class and playing violin in the orchestra, but that changed in January 2019 when she started falling and fainting.

After extensive medical tests, it was determined that Mary suffers from Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

According to the Cleveland Clinic website, https:// my.clevelandclinic.org/health/ diseases/16560-postural-orthostatic-tachycardia-syndromepots, “POTS is a condition that affects circulation (blood flow).

POTS is a form of orthostatic intolerance, the development of symptoms that come on when

standing up from a reclining position, and that may be relieved by sitting or lying back down. The primary symptom of an orthostatic intolerance is lightheadedness, fainting, and an uncomfortable, rapid increase in heartbeat.”

“She has a version of generalized hyper-mobility,” Joy said. “Her joints pop out of place.” The dislocations are usually partial; most people with this [POTS] get those more often than full dislocations.” Mary said she experiences joint and muscle pain.

“For Mary,” Joy said, “it means that her heart rate was really high and blood pressure was super low.”

Mary’s diagnosis took months to determine. Joy said they “went to every kind of doctor through VCU [Health System].’ Dr. Laura Burijon at MRMC (Memorial Regional Medical Center) coordinated

the appointments. “I can’t say enough good things about her,” Joy added. Dr. Burijon practices family medicine.

Mary was seen by rheumatologists and cardiologists and underwent x-rays, CT scans, MRIs and an echocardiogram. She then was sent to Dr. Dominic Sica, a nephrologist at VCU. Joy said POTS can attack the kidneys, so balancing salt and water is imperative.

There is no cure for POTS, which means this is a lifelong condition for Mary – but she will be able to manage with medications.

While Mary has adjusted to the changes in her life, she has added a loving and faithful friend she named Frankie Lou. The docile and welltrained golden retriever is a service dog.

If Mary’s heart rate starts to rise, Frankie Lou, who

is 8 months old today, will comfort her by placing her head on her lap. Mary celebrated her 18th birthday on Thursday, with a promise from her mom that she could do whatever she wanted.

By April 2019, Mary and her parents, Thomas and Joy, along with Atlee administration, agreed the best way for her to continue her education would be to become a homebound student. She gets headaches and her energy level decreases, with her needing to rest. Mary is a senior and will graduate with her class on June 13.

The Fisher family attends Mechanicsville Baptist Church. Mary tries to go as often as possible based on whether she has the stamina.

Joy praised the support of guidance counselor Amy Couillard, homebound coordinator Phillip Reynolds

Therapy dogs are expensive, so, to help get Frankie Lou, Mary digitally started drawing portraits of pets, charging $25 each.

A reminder to those who

want to approach or pet Frankie Lou, service dogs are not to be distracted when they’re wearing the vest.

When she graduates, Mary plans to take a gap year and continue training with Frankie Lou.

WEGMANS

Married 50 years

Continued from pg. 1

Submitted photo

Mr. and Mrs. William R Rice of Mechanicsville will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on February 14, 2020. They have three children, seven grandchildren, and four greatgrandchildren.

Recently opened stores in Maryland and Virginia are indicative of the company’s move to the Southern market, and the new facility will supply existing stores in that region, as well as new stores opening at a rate of two to three per year.

Wegmans currently operates warehouse facilities in Rochester and Pottsville, Pennsylvania. When opened in 2022, the Hanover facility will service about 44 stores, some of them yet to be built.

More than two dozen speakers patiently waited a turn to express their concerns with the project, some questioning the decision to locate in what they considered a residential area. The proposed site along Sliding Hill Road is close to several neighborhoods, including Somerset and Milestone. “We don’t want you here,� one attendee shouted.

Some speakers identified other sites more suitable, in

their opinion, for the facility, and a majority expressed concerns regarding truck traffic on an already hazardous road.

Wegmans has agreed to fund upgrades to the intersection and road improvements, but neighboring residents said it would not alleviate delays and accidents.

Aken said the company explored about 15 sites in Virginia and North Carolina, but ultimately decided Hanover “was the best location� to make the $175 million investment, including about $6 million in local and state enticements. Plans for the facility include two buildings occupying about 1.1 million square feet of space.

Some speakers questioned the wisdom of spending taxpayer money as an incentive to lure Wegmans to Hanover, but County Administrator Rhu Harris said the agreement is guided by a performance agreement that requires the company to meet certain requirements prior to that funding being released.

Harris said annual tax revenue from the 700-employee facility amounted to about $1.5 million annually and noted the county’s contribution would be recouped in about three and a half years.

Other speakers asked why residents were not informed earlier when negotiations began months ago. Harris said the county signed a non-disclosure agreement with the search firm representing Wegmans and could not discuss ongoing talks, a practice described as normal when large companies explore options in localities.

If the county chose not to enter the NDA, Harris said Hanover would not have been considered for the new facility.

Planning director David Maloney said the site received special zoning in 1995, but noted proffers issued at the time are not “outdated� and the revised proffers are an attempt to “enhance those requirements.�

An attorney representing Wegmans said the applicant is requesting two changes to the more than a dozen existing proffers, including one to increase height on light poles and the other permitting a fence around the property.

Economic development director Linwood Thomas said the Wegmans project is a major get for the county in more ways than one. “The Wegmans project is a generational opportunity for Hanover County,� Thomas said. “They will create jobs on average that are 18% above Hanover’s median average wage and be one of our largest taxpayers at full build-out.

There were many localities along the Eastern Seaboard that competed for this project.�

But Anita Philp said she felt a “sense of betrayal� regarding the deal. “We’re giving them $6 million to ruin our way of life. I’m outraged,� Philp said. “What your are proposing is inconsistent with the plan. I’m not saying not in my backyard.

I’m saying not in anybody’s backyard.� She estimated that there are 5,000 residential homes near the proposed site. “We understand and respect there are some citizens that are upset due to the proximity to residential developments but the property has been zoned, marketed, and shown in our comprehensive plan for economic development for over 20 years,�

Thomas said in response to questions after the meeting.

Chickahominy District supervisor Angela KellyWiecek and Ashland District representative Faye Prichard hosted the informational meeting, but most board members attended in addition to other officials from the Planning Commission and other boards.

When Henry District supervisor Sean Davis was confronted by one speaker asking what the board was prepared to do to protect residents from large development like Wegmans, he didn’t underes-

timate the importance of the project and the challenges it presents. “The matter before the current board is one that presents a very unique opportunity to reduce the allowable uses from the 1995 zoning,� Davis said. “If the board can negotiate with Wegmans to implement new preferred conditions that will substantially reduce the allowable use, it will be a huge reduction on what is allowed and also substantially improve traffic impacts.�

He said his presence at the meeting illustrated his desire to make the project better with additional public input and discussion. “If these negotiations are unsuccessful, then the land use allowances from the 1995 zoning will stand,� Davis said.

Reinforcing those outdated proffers also allows additional review of a project that could proceed with no adjustments. “Wegmans could develop the property today based on the current zoning but has taken the recommendation of the board of supervisors, county staff, and citizens to go through a public rezoning and proffer amendments that will make this a better project and includes increased buffers and transportation improvement as the proffers from 1995 would be less restrictive in some regards,� Thomas said regarding the application.

Speakers at the less than cordial gathering also cited concerns regarding property values and the negative effect a warehouse facility could present, but company officials said studies in Rochester indicate no such trend.

Aken said property values in those surrounding neighborhoods had increased 2 percent a year, a normal growth rate for residential housing.

One audience member shouted, “I’ll bet our assessments don’t go down.�

age even closer to I-95 just three miles north of the Atlee/ Elmont exit (which is free of churches and communities) if baffles me as to why Wegmans has elected to locate their warehouse off of Sliding Hill Road.

Realizing that the Hanover County Board of Supervisors had no power so stop this sale I would hope they at least tried to stand up for the residents of the area and talked to Wegmans about purchasing a more isolated plot of land.

However, noting the board’s desire for unbridled growth and moreover, additional revenue for the county, I doubt this talk ever occurred.

This current batch of supervisors doesn’t seem to have the word “No” in their vocabulary.

It has failed in its duties to serve the county’s residents by falling short of retaining the county’s rural-like atmosphere and allowing exponential growth.

‘Go Fund Me’ proposed to buy properties Sorry to say that the letter from Karri Messina and others on this subject are wasting good time and energy.

There is a simple solution to help with the growth problem and it is not tying to change minds of the people who have an interest in the outcome.

In case you haven’t noticed the “Go Fund Me” idea works very well. Why not do something similar to get money to buy up these properties?

Buy land and sell it off in 25 acre lots, making a profit and with stipulations what it can be used for.

The counties and cities operate on the same principal. They want to buy or build something they just simply raise taxes by way of reassessments and like magic they have the money.

We allow others to forcibly take our money and profit from it so why not do it our self voluntarily.

No need to complain, it’s not going to change a thing.

Chickahominy District supervisor Angela KellyWiecek encouraged continued negotiations with Garrison

The board approved that amended motion.

Hanover teachers achieve National Board Certification ASHLAND – Seven Hanover County Public Schools (HCPS) educators recently achieved National Board Certification, meeting the highest standards established for the profession. Two additional teachers also renewed their certifications.

HCPS employs eighty National Board Certified Teachers, which represents 5.5% of all Hanover educators. The national average is less than three percent.

“I congratulate our teachers on their significant accomplishment and commitment to achieving the most rigorous standards of our profession. Their efforts will directly impact and benefit our students, and I am grateful for their dedication,” said Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of Schools.

The following teachers attained certification: z Mike Diebold, Stonewall Jackson Middle School z Allison Fleming, Lee-Davis High School z Shannon Floyd, Chickahominy Middle School z Jana Leonard, Hanover High School z Stacey Lowery, Lee-Davis High School z Jamie Pocta, Laurel Meadow Elementary

School z Stephen Salvato, Lee-Davis High School The following teachers achieved renewal of certifications: z Joy DeNoon, Stonewall Jackson Middle School z Jeanine Schenack, Stonewall Jackson Middle School The educators were recognized during a recent pinning ceremony at VCU's Sonia Vlahcevic Concert Hall, along with teachers from the Counties of Chesterfield and Henrico, and the City of Richmond.

Earning National Board Certification is a rigorous process that increases the effectiveness of teachers.

Through the systematic examination of their teaching practices, educators deepen their knowledge of subject matter and become more skilled in daily classroom instruction and student assessment. Certification lasts for five years and must be subsequently renewed by completing a similar, but shorter, process.

Sponsorship applications also are open.

As an incentive this year, $1,000 sponsorships receive a free 10x10 booth space; $500 sponsorships get half-off a 10x10 booth space. It’s great

The Faire is one of the Signature Events for Hanover County’s 300th Birthday. Hanover County businesses and non-profits are encouraged to share their history on Faire day. What is your unique story?

As part of the birthday extravaganza, a “Celebration of Hanoverians” Parade will kick off the Faire. The parade is open to all ages. Dress up as your favorite Hanoverian, walk in the parade with Patrick Henry, and then enjoy cookies and cupcakes with the other parade participants.

The traditional “Youth Strawberry Pageant” is evolving into a parade of amazing “Strawberry Kids” of all ages. Everyone is a “kid” on Faire day – adults, too! The Strawberry Kids will walk in the parade with the Hanoverians. After the parade, the 2020 “Spirit of the Faire” will be chosen. So start planning your strawberry outfits, hats, and accessories!

Hawk girls knock off undefeated Cavaliers

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – After spending the night before guarding one of Virginia’s best point guards in Henrico’s Jada Walker, you would think Hanover senior Jordan Davis would, at the least, approach a game 24 hours later against a 17-0 King William squad with some trepidation.

“It’s wonderful!”, Davis said when asked about the back-toback battles. “I love playing here at home. In this environment, it’s just a great atmosphere.”

As they battle Monacan for the top seed in the Region 4B South, the Hawks need every win they can collect, and – after falling behind early to the unbeaten Cavaliers – Hanover used a 17-0 first half run to roll up a 56-33 win and move to 17-1 on the season.

Coupled with Tuesday’s 59-44 win over Henrico, Hanover won two games against two teams with a combined 29 wins entering the “Bird Cage.”

Davis led the way against the Warriors with 22 points, then added 10 points against the Cavaliers as Julia Mardigian led Hanover Wednesday with 19 points, six rebounds and four steals.

King William (17-1), who won 16 of its first 17 games by double digits, took an early 10-5 lead in the first period. But

of the game. Emma Anderson, who led the Cavaliers with 10 points, scored 6 of those in the third period, but couldn’t stop Hanover from building its lead to 21 points.

Patterson finished with 9 points, but no one else on the King William roster scored more than 5. A Cavalier offensive strength is 3-point shooting. The Hawk defense only allowed two triples the entire game.

“We usually rely a lot on our 3s. They disrupted our offense today,” said Cavalier head coach Kerry Johnson. “They pushed us out too far, so where we’d be to take the shot, we weren’t ready.”

For a team experiencing a first loss, the question rises as to whether it’s a good thing not to carry an unbeaten record into the postseason, as King William should be a serious threat in Region 2A. “Now we don’t have to worry about, oh, we lose that one game (in the playoffs), and it hurts more. One game after going through the regular season without losing,” Johnson said, looking optimistically at a playoff run with one less psychological angle.

King William boys upend scrappy Hanover foul too early in the game, but he needed to be in there for rebounds, you know. It’s kind of one of those Catch-22s: Give up the foul or stay in for rebounds.

Sometimes you’ve got to give to get.”

Hanover’s outside shooting was prolific and often deadly, fueling their comeback late in the second half. The threat was difficult to counter, such as when the Hawks cut the deficit to 2 with two minutes left.

“We’ve got to learn how we want to play our defense,” Freeman said. “That was a manto-man situation. I don’t want the guards to come in and help on the drive – that’s what the big man is there for. The guard came in to help, and they kicked it out to the wing and got the 3. … We just got a little confused there.”

No matter how high they’re Dave Lawrence /The Local seeded in the upcoming Region Top, King William’s Kenadre 2A tournament, the Cavaliers Roane (4) splits the Hanover face a difficult road through the defense for a basket in the regional with some of the best Cavaliers’ 84-82 victory teams in Class 2 awaiting the over the visiting Hawks on chance to block their path to the Friday. Roane finished with a game-high 23 points. Bottom, state tournament. But Freeman Hanover’s Braniel Santos is not daunted.

Dave Lawrence can be kind of timid to defend well,” Freeman said. “Kyle – 34 – reached at dlawrence@mechlohe didn’t want to get his fifth cal.com.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor CENTRAL GARAGE – King William, a Class 2 team, was not going to be intimidated by a Class 4 team on its home court. While the Cavaliers trailed the visitors at halftime, they fought back for a mad finish against an equally determined opponent – Hanover High School.

Because of a late mistake, King William gave Hanover the ball with a half a second left, and the Hawks – with proven longrange prowess – got the ball to one of their aces for a 3-point attempt, but the ball overshot the net and the Cavaliers celebrated with an 84-82 victory Friday night.

King William’s boys have bragging rights over Hanover County, as the Cavaliers defeated won all of its games against county opponents this season – against Lee-Davis and the Hawks.

Hanover jumped to an early lead over King William and held a 36-30 advantage at halftime.

But the Cavaliers came out strong in the second half, countering the Hawks’ 3-point threat with their own strong outside shooting and adding scrappy rebounding as they built up as much as a 10-point lead over Hanover before the Hawks settled and fought back to within a hair of winning at the end.

King William head coach Eddie Freeman was proud of his team.

“It was a good game,” he said. “The guys are playing real good. They’re listening well.

The defensive intensity is there.

I think as long as we play as a team, we’re going to be a tough team to beat.”

That team mentality is very different from recent Cavalier squads who tended to play more

of a free-for-all style of basketball. The new edition moved the ball around, usually successfully, until it could find openings against a tough Hanover defense.

That did not mean King William did not have its share of miscues. Late in the game, a handful of missed shots, turnovers and fouls gave the Hawks the chance they needed to catch

up to King William. The fouls were especially troublesome for players like one of the Cavaliers’ big men, Kyle Lynch.

“We had a few guys who were in foul trouble who where

Mardigian and Davis, as Emily Mott scored 6 of her 8 points in the second half to keep King William at bay, while Kayla Ford, Madison Miller and Jessica Russell each scored 5 and Miller dished out six assists.

Russell nailed a key 3-pointer down the stretch in the second period to place Hanover’s lead

back to double digits for good at 28-16.

The Hawks will go to Deep Run Wednesday, then host Lee-Davis for Senior Night on Friday, a game postponed from last Friday due to power outages across the county. Every win is crucial, as Hanover is less than two power points behind Monacan in the race for the top seed in Region 4B. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Randolph-Macon lacrosse returns with win

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – After setting a school record with 13 victories a season ago, Randolph-Macon men’s lacrosse team picked up where it left off Saturday in its 2020 season opener against Methodist.

A first period hat trick from Brendan Markovic fueled what eventually became a 9-0 run by the Yellow Jackets, as they cruised to a 19-5 victory over Methodist University, the team’s third win in four meetings with the Monarchs.

Success started in the center of the field. The Yellow Jackets won 13 of 16 faceoffs in the first half, helping to dominate possession, feeding an offense that, at times, looked in midseason form with crisp passing and timely assists.

“We’re proud of that, giving us possession. Early in the season, you might make some mistakes, throw a ball away here or there,” said Randolph-Macon head coach J.B. Sheridan, who is beginning his 10th season.

“Jack Silvernale has put a ton of work in the weight room. Joe Moranto and Dan Muller did a great job ... giving us opportunities to work on our game.”

After the teams split scores in the first 3:04 of the contest, Markovic scored his second goal on a man advantage to give Randolph-Macon a lead it wouldn’t relinquish. Feeding off faceoff victories, Markovic scored again a minute later unassisted, Derek Marsilio fired a shot home with 1:40 left in the first, and Colin DiSesa (Hanover) registered the first of his game-high five goals with six seconds left for a 5-1 Yellow Jacket lead.

Randolph-Macon added four more before Methodist finally ended the run with a

goal from Mark Chatt with 5:25 left in the first half, ending a scoring drought that lasted just over 21 minutes. The Yellow Jacket defense swarmed in the first half, limiting shot opportunities.

The Yellow Jackets had 24 ground balls in the first half, finishing with 35. The Monarchs, by contrast, had just seven by intermission. Randolph-Macon won all seven faceoffs in the first period, and 19 of 28 for the game. In all, nine different players scored, including two from Tom Prusak, who scored his first goal since 2018 late in the first half.

Marsilio and Andrew Tiffey each had a pair of goals, while Jimmy Hasemann, seeing his first action in two years, scored unassisted for the game’s last goal with 6:42 remaining.

Freshman Duncan O’Brien scored his first collegiate goal just two minutes earlier.

These Yellow Jackets will consistently have three to five players in the offensive zone who can score at all times and will make opposing defenses pick their poison when choosing to double team.

“We saw it develop the back half of last year, that balance,” Sheridan opined. “That’s the way it goes when we have guys who can all shoot, all break down a defense, and all distribute the ball when they see a double coming.”

Randolph-Macon returns to action Saturday in Washington, D.C. at Catholic, who opened their season Tuesday at Southern Virginia.

The match was the unofficial kickoff on campus of spring sports for the Yellow Jackets. Women’s lacrosse will, too, begin their season with the Monarchs, traveling to Kenny Moore for The Local

R-MC women prove mettle in comeback win

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – In a long basketball season, there are seemingly countless hours of conditioning, drills, and practice. There are also a few select moments of truth, moments that define your season and your legacy.

No matter what happens the rest of the way, RandolphMacon women’s basketball can look back to 14 and a half minutes of their game Saturday as a defining moment. Down 49-38 to Old Dominion Athletic Conference leader Washington and Lee, the Yellow Jackets clamped down defensively, attacked the rim, and shut down the Generals with an incredible 33-7 run to take a 71-56 victory at Crenshaw Gymnasium.

The loss ended a 10-game winning streak for the Generals, who defeated Randolph-Macon 84-53 back on November 19.

“They’re the number one team in the conference, and every single one of us wanted to beat them,” noted senior center Kelly Williams, who scored 22 points and grabbed 18 rebounds. “Becca [Arrington] took over with big points to help ignite us. I wish we’d play like that every single time, but maybe we can take that run and carry it on for the rest of

Fayetteville, North Carolina, Sunday for a 2 p.m. match.

earlier.

After a timeout, the onslaught began. Williams kick started it with two trips to the free throw line, going 3 for 4.

Addison made one free throw to make it 50-45 with 2:02 left in the third. Washington and Lee wouldn’t score again until a Megan Horn free throw nearly six minutes later. By then, Randolph-Macon had scored 16 unanswered points.

One play that helped deflate the Generals came just as the horn sounded to end the third period as Cheridan Hatfield raced to the front court, feeding Charlotte Woods, whose layup just beat the buzzer, cutting the Washington and Lee lead to one at 50-49. Woods scored 20 seconds into the fourth period, and the lead was with RandolphMacon’s for good.

Defensively, the Yellow Jackets denied penetration into the paint which would allow the Generals to feed their 3-point shooters. After making 4 of 14 shots from beyond the arc in the first half, the Generals made just 2 of 13 after intermission.

“I told them let’s keep fighting, let’s keep fighting, and I’m John Beebe for the Local so proud that they did that,” Randolph-Macon’s Becca Arrington (4) drives between Washington & Lee defenders as the Yellow Jackets defeated the visiting said Yellow Jackets head coach Generals 71-56 in Crenshaw Gymnasium Saturday.

Robertson draws blood, gets bloodied in R-MC win

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – RandolphMacon forward Ian Robertson literally bled for his team – or, more accurately, from his team – but the small gash on his neck is worth it.

Robertson got mobbed by his teammates when, with time running out, he hit a 3-pointer in overtime to put the Yellow Jackets ahead of a scrappy Lynchburg team for a 85-82 Old Dominion Athletic Conference victory Saturday at Crenshaw Gymnasium.

In the ensuing celebration – they thought the game was over – he ended up in the middle of a happy pile. Maybe a bit too happy, as someone’s fingernail caught him in the neck and cut him.

The celebration, however, was a bit premature – 0.3 seconds premature. While his teammates took the floor without him, the Hornets had another shot at tying the game, but the shot was out of time and off the mark, leaving the Yellow Jackets undefeated in ODAC play.

“It was a fun one, a lot of fun. It definitely was stressful,” Robertson said of the game. “It wouldn’t have been as fun if [my] shot hadn’t gone in.”

The 6-foot-7 sophomore finished with a team- and career-high 18 points, one of six Randolph-Macon players in double figures. He was followed by Buzz Anthony with 17 points, Corey Bays with 14, David Funderberg with 13, Terry Woods with 11 and Miles Mallory with 10.

“That’s one thing we take pride in, is a lot of people on our team scoring,” Robertson said.

“I feel like we’re pretty hard to stop because you if you take one person away, we still have four or five others that can score,

Kenny Moore for The Local

The Randolph-Macon defense, with Daniel Funderberg (center), Buzz Anthony (5), Kent Kilgroe (20) and Miles Mallory (20), thwart a Lyncburg player’s attemp to score in the Yellow Jackets’ 85-82 Old Dominion Athletic Conference win over the visiting Hornets in Crenshaw Gymnasium Saturday. The Yellow Jackets remain undefeated in ODAC play at 13-0.

too.”

But Lynchburg had a couple who could score, too, and the pair kept the Hornets (139, 8-5 ODAC) in the game.

T.C. Thacker scored a gamehigh 30 points – along with 13 rebounds. Tharon Suggs scored 21.

“They were hitting some tough shots,” Robertson said.

“They were hitting shots over two or three people sometimes at the end of the game. We were throwing bodies at them and they were still scoring.”

Another thing the Hornets did well was rebound. They out-rebounded RandolphMacon 51-29.

“While we might be as tall, I think those guys have some weight, some pounds on us and also their system is geared to keeping guys closer to the basket and in great rebounding position,” said RandolphMacon head coach Josh Merkel.

“On top of that, all season long they’re out-rebounding teams by about 10 a game. They get 14 offense the rebounds a game, so it’s clearly something they’re great at.”

While the Yellow Jackets (21-1,13-0) have a well-timed bye week, Merkel has some work for the team to do and that includes rebounding.

“It’s something that we’re

going to be working on all week,” he said. “We didn’t necessarily expect to out-rebound them – that’s something that they’re great at – but we can’t

[allow] that much of a difference.”

Merkel and Robertson admitted a bit of dismay after the referee added 0.3 seconds

with 4:17 remaining, scoring 6 points overall.

Randolph-Macon sits in sixth place in the ODAC standings with four games remaining. The Yellow Jackets go to Ferrum Saturday, then return to Crenshaw Gymnasium on Tuesday night against Shenandoah, which currently sits in fourth. It is sure to be an emotional night, as the program salutes Woods, Williams

haven’t always taken care of the ball.”

The Yellow Jackets committed just 10 turnovers on the evening, while 11 of their 15 assists came during the second half.

The Generals made one shot from the field in the final period, a Kate Groninger 3-pointer

to the clock after Robertson’s shot. Robertson had to sit out the fraction of a second that was left. And when the game did officially end, his gash was still causing problems.

“I was bleeding all over the place,” he said. “I was giving everyone on the sideline highfives and our trainer was chasing after me. It was probably pretty funny to watch.

“Our trainer was, like, ‘Ian, I’ve got to clean you up.’ And I was, like, ‘No, it’s fine. It’s just a little cut.’ Then I got into the locker room and I saw it and said, ‘Oh!’ I was bleeding pretty bad. … It was pretty funny.”

and Michal Ross, who scored 10 points Saturday. Williams wants that 33-7 run to permeate everything ahead of her as she sees her career wind down, one where a devastating knee injury cost her most of her junior season.

“I told Coach LaHaye, it’s a gratitude thing,” Williams said.

“I’m just glad to be back on the court again.
