Powhatan High School football coach Jim Woodson reacts after being dunked with water in celebration by senior quarterback Noah Dowdy (7) following the Indians 35-0 win over Fluvanna on Oct. 13 at Powhatan High School. The win was Woodson’s 275th career victory as a head coach, which gave him the most wins all-time among Virginia High School League football coaches in the history of the Richmond area. Woodson had been tied with Roger Brookes, who coached at King William and Henrico high schools. All 275 wins for Woodson have come as head coach for Powhatan, the high school where he played as a student-athlete and was inspired to become a coach.

Unlicensed day care provider pleads guilty to child neglect in 2016 death of Powhatan infant News Editor

CHE STE RFIE LD – An unlicensed Chesterfield County day care provider pleaded guilty last week to child neglect in a 2016 case that involved the death of a 3-monthold Powhatan boy but had several more serious charges against her withdrawn. In an agreement reached with the Chesterfield Commonwealth’ s Attorney’ s Office, Carrie Persichini, 53, of Chesterfield, pleaded guilty on Thursday, Oct. 12 in Chesterfield County Circuit Court to two felony counts of child neglect and a misde-

meanor charge of operating a business without a state license. Persichini was caring for Peter Hitt, 3 PERSICHINI months, of Powhatan, and as many as 15 other children, including other siblings, in her home when he died on Aug. 23, 2016. Deputy commonwealth’ s attorney Frank LaRuffa said it was the second day Peter and his siblings were in Persichini’ s care. She also was originally charged with involuntary manslaughter, child abuse/ neglect, and two counts of child endangerment. Of the two child neglect charges she pleaded guilty to, one was in reference to Peter’ s twin sister. Chesterfield Circuit J udge David E . J ohnson accepted Persichini’ s guilty pleas on the three

charges, but when LaRuffa said he was withdrawing the other charges, which had not yet been mentioned, the j udge asked for an explanation. He later said he wanted it on the record for the family of the victim. LaRuffa told the court on Oct. 12 that — since Peter’ s autopsy did not conclusively reveal how he died — it would have been difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Persichini’ s actions directly led to serious inj ury in this case. Dr. J ennifer Bowers, assistant chief medical examiner for the State Office of the Chief Medical E xaminer, had testified during a preliminary hearing on May 16 that she performed the autopsy on Peter and ruled his death a case of sudden unexpected infant death (SU ID) associated with unsafe sleep conditions. She said that, in a case like this, there can be natural and environmental factors that see GUILTY, pg. 3 }

Class 6 felony, according to a statement released on Thursday, Oct. 12 by Anne G . Reynolds, crime analyst.

Lake Louise gets a second chance at life

Residents of the Red Lane Subdivision worked hard to fix Lake Louise and are now eager for the rain needed to fill it.

By Laura McFarland News Editor

OWHATAN – For almost two years, many of the residents of the Powhatan County neighborhood that saw its beautiful lake drained were dreaming of the day when it would be fixed. Now, they are only hoping for enough rain to show that their dream has come true. Lake Louise, located in the Red Lane Subdivision, drained of almost all of its water on the morning of Oct. 17, 2015, and several dedicated neighbors have spent much of the time since then figuring out first how they could fix it and then how to fund the effort. All of that hard work was finally realiz ed when a contractor repaired a damaged culvert at the end of September, said J oe Washington, a resident since 1976 of Lake Louise Drive. “ Over the years it was a little tough at times, but I can say once everybody put their hearts and minds into it, we moved forward and things started to fall into place,” he said. Although it might not be as visible to people who aren’ t familiar with the lake since it has become so overgrown in the last almost two years, Wingding Davis, a resident since 1988 of Lake Louise Drive, said he has been watching it closely and could already spot small pockets of water building up. “ It’ s exciting to see it going back; to watch the process that happened was great,” Davis said of watching the repair work being done.

Long road back A core group of neigh-

bors worked together since the lake drained to figure out how to get it fixed. They believed if they could only fix the culvert that is designed to keep the lake at a certain level, nature would take over and its tributaries combined with some good rain could refill Lake Louise, Washington said. At first the residents weren’ t sure how to get the lake fixed, especially when they realiz ed the difficulty in figuring out who owned

“It’s exciting to see it going back; to watch the process that happened was great.” Wingding Davis Resident it and thus was responsible for the repairs. The homeowners’ deeds showed that their property comes up to the water’ s edge and follows the edge of the water. At the time, the lake had a listed owner of the Red Lane Land Corporation, but it had dissolved in 1983 and had not turned the lake over to the county or state. Nor did the subdivision ever form a neighborhood association. There are 15 plats, or individual properties, that border some part of the lake with some people owning more than one lot and some lots not developed. However, Lake Louise is not a private lake, as many people think, and even has a portion accessible along Moutainview Road that is accessible to the public, see LAKE, pg. 4 }

Chesterfield teen dies in crash in Powhatan Sta R eport

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

Former resident Robert “Bobby” Jarrell Barden recently celebrated his 95th birthday.

The Virginia State Police is investigating a fatal crash that occurred on Saturday, Oct. 14, in Powhatan County, claiming the life of a Chesterfield teenager. Timothy P. Michael, 19, of Chesterfield was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash, which was on Route 60 near Bell Road, according to Corinne N. G eller, public relations director for the state police.

At around 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 14, a 1997 Nissan was traveling on Route 60 about a mile west of Bell Road when the driver lost control of the vehicle and crossed into the oncoming travel lane, G eller said. The Nissan collided head-on with a 2001 Ford F-350 pick-up truck towing a trailer. A 2006 Acura TLX struck the rear of the trailer attached to the pick-up truck. Michael was the driver of the

Nissan and was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. The crash remains under investigation. The Virginia Department of Transportation sent out a notice at 10:06 p.m. on Oct. 14 saying all lanes were closed on the highway near Bell Road and asking drivers to take alternative routes. A notice that all of the roads were clear was sent out by VDOT at 4:59 a.m. on Sunday, Oct. 14.

in state Economic Gardening Pilot Program Sta R eport G overnor Terry McAuliffe recently announced 12 Virginia companies were selected to participate in the Virginia E conomic G ardening Pilot Program (VE G PP), including SanAir Technologies Laboratory Inc. in Powhatan County. The VE G PP, administered by the Virginia E conomic Development Partnership (VE DP), targets second-stage companies. These businesses are growth-oriented and have moved beyond the startup phase by demonstrating a notable increase in revenue or employment. By addressing strategic growth issues, such as identifying new markets and industry trends, refining business models, raising online visibility, and offering access to competitive intelligence, the VE G PP enables high-growth companies to achieve the next level of success. “ E ncouraging the growth of our existing businesses is fundamental to diversifying and building the new Virginia economy,” McAuliffe said. “ I am confident the Virginia E conomic G ardening Pilot Program will be a valuable resource to help many high-potential companies in the commonwealth reach a higher level of success. I congratulate and applaud the 12 pilot program participants as they adopt a new approach to growing their businesses.” Since its founding in 2003, SanAir Technologies Laboratory Inc. has grown steadily to national status in the growing fields of industrial hygiene testing and identification of harmful microorganisms in public venues. Its clientele includes

developers, governments and contractors working in restoration and remediation. “ We thank our home county for this national recognition,” San Air’ s president and CE O Sean McG lynn said, “ and we look forward to participating in an important new expansion of our own new business development efforts, as well as sharing what we learn with our neighbors here at home.” Other participating companies in the Virginia E conomic G ardening Pilot Program are: Blue Mountain Brewery, Inc. (Nelson County); Blue Ridge Optics, L.L.C. (Bedford County); C2 Management (Clarke County); Clarke Precision Machine Inc. (Town of Wytheville); Fulcrum Concepts LLC (K ing and Q ueen County); Hepburn and Sons LLC (City of Manassas); Risk and Strategic Management Corp. (City of Manassas); R& K Cyber Solutions LLC (City of Manassas); Salatin & Cloud L.C. (City of Harrisonburg); VistaShare LLC (City of Harrisonburg); and Solid Stone Fabrics Inc. (City of Martinsville). “ I applaud the Virginia E conomic Development Partnership for developing and implementing this strategic and collaborative approach to economic development, which will be a great asset to emerging growth companies across the commonwealth,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Todd Haymore. “ More than 70 percent of our j obs come from existing Virginia businesses, and we are excited to see the new opportunities the Virginia E conomic G ardening Pilot Program will uncover.” VE DP partnered with the E d-

ward Lowe Foundation, which hosts the National Center for E conomic G ardening, to set up a statewide network to provide each selected company virtual access to its own team of highly skilled research specialists. The research team will devote approximately 36 hours to each company and q uickly deliver action-oriented information over the course of a few weeks. To be eligible for the VE G PP, company applicants were req uired to meet the following criteria: represent a for-profit, privately held company that has been in business for at least five years and maintained its principal place of business in Virginia for at least two years; generate annual revenue between $ 1 million and $ 50 million; employ between 10 and 99 full-time-eq uivalent employees; demonstrate growth in employment and/ or revenue during two of the past five years; provide products or services beyond the local area to regional, national, or global markets, and be referred by a participating economic development organiz ation. VE DP will follow up with the participating companies upon their completion of the six-to-eight-week program to determine its effectiveness addressing the business issues identified by each company during the application phase. Additionally, VE DP staff will monitor the 12 company participants’ increase in revenue and employment over the next 36 months to gauge long-term effectiveness on high-growth businesses and the value in continuing the Virginia E conomic G ardening Pilot Program.

LaRuffa said he met with Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s parents about two weeks before the court date and explained why he was withdrawing the more serious charges. He said they did not agree with the decision and would have preferred Persichini be in prison as long as possible, but they understood the limitations he faced in proving those charges because of Bowersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; testimony. Persichiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s sentencing date has been set for J an. 4, 2018. LaRuffa said the agreement with the defense did not include a consensus on what the sentencing should be. Virginia Code for the combined three charges recommends a maximum of 11 years.

Laying out the case After the defense entered the guilty plea, LaRuffa laid out the case he would have made had Persichini stood trial as originally planned on Oct. 16 and 17. He described the timeline of events on Aug. 23, 2016, starting with the 911 call from Persichiniâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s home in the 4200 block of Bridgewood Road after she discovered Peter un-

LaRuffa also would have called the two Chesterfield County police officers who interviewed Persichini after the infant was rushed away in an ambulance. She told the first officer that she put Peter and his twin sister down for a nap at 12:15 p.m. in a pack and play with a rolled up blanket between them, LaRuffa said. Persichini told officer David Clayton she realiz ed at 1:15 p.m. that he was unresponsive, tried to administer CPR, and called 911, LaRuffa said. However, when interviewed by Detective J oshua Hylton and his partner shortly afterward, she said she tried to wake Peter up at â&#x20AC;&#x153; exactly 1:35 p.m.â&#x20AC;? after feeding his sibling with a bottle and found him with the blanket partly over him, on his stomach, unresponsive and his skin cold to the touch.

Davis said previously. Finally, Washington received permission from the U .S. Army Corps of E ngineers to make any necessary repairs. The next hurdle was raising almost $ 19,000 to pay for the parts and repairs it would take to fix the culvert, he said. Residents around the lake committed to fundraising the $ 4,949 for purchasing the needed parts on their own and raising $ 13,000 for the labor. “ The total cost of the proj ect was $ 18,949 and I can say at the beginning of March of this year, we only had $ 150 in our account,” Washington said. “ We j ust went out and started soliciting help along the way in the neighborhood and with businesses. People donated who didn’ t even know who we were; they j ust wanted to help out.” Washington said the group still has about $ 950 more to raise to completely

pay for the proj ect, but praised the generous support of so many people in the community and business community for getting them this close. “ It feels great. Once we passed about $ 12,000, I knew we could get the proj ect done. But I knew we had to work a little bit harder,” he said. “ So, we went out and talked to people and people started to send in donations from as far away as G eorgia and Maryland. They helped tremendously. The money j ust started rolling in and the proj ect is done now.” The contractor, G .N. G unnell Inc., took three days to repair the culvert and then came back a few days later at the req uest of Washington and Davis to increase the height of the riser that helps control the water level. The goal was to make sure the lake got back to its original height. Washington also pointed out that Powhatan Fire and Rescue installed a new dry hydrant at the lake to

of Oct. 12 saying the sheriff’ s office “ was able to identify the source of the vague threat we received through social media.” “ As a result, we have no safety concerns for students or staff today. The threat has been deemed not credible. We appreciate your concern and will continue to provide additional information if any becomes available,” the statement said. Dr. E ric J ones, superintendent, said on Oct. 12 that the message Dr. Mike Massa, PHS principal, sent out is the school district’ s statement and is “ really all we can share at this time.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

has been deemed not credible.” However, Reynolds said later in the day that the investigation had revealed that the threat was credible but “ the j uvenile lacked the immediate means to carry out his threat.” “ There is also no indication at this time that the j uvenile conspired with others,” she said. On the evening of Oct. 11, the school received the threat via social media and detectives located the person responsible, Reynolds said. Powhatan County Sheriff’ s detectives worked with various social media companies to ascertain

the identity of the author within hours of the post. A search warrant was simultaneously executed on the j uvenile’ s residence and an electronic device was seiz ed that is believed to be the device used to make the post, Reynolds said.

with fishing. Wildlife will be coming back – the turtles and the egrets.” Without the repairs and the return of the lake, the land would have been returned to nature, said Wayne Vaughan, a former 30-year resident who has remained involved in the process of seeing Lake Louise repaired. “ It would have been returned to swamp. The Corps of E ngineers said you had to return it because it is a low land and a creek is running through it. It would have had to be returned to a swamp really. So we would have had a 5-acre swamp behind all these people’ s houses here,” he said. Like Newton and Davis, Vaughan praised Washington’ s hard work in leading the effort to repair Lake Louise. “ Without his persistence, determination and endurance, this would not have happened. I think all of the community owes Mr. Washington a debt of gratitude for his persistence,” Vaughan said. For his part, Washington is q uick to spread the gratitude around, focusing not on his role but how many people worked to make this proj ect a reality, either with time or money. “ I would j ust like to thank everyone who helped out. It was a community proj ect,” he said.

use in case of an emergency when it has returned to a usable level. Like other dry hydrants situated around the county, a pipe connected to the lake allows firefighters to q uickly and easily draw water when they need extra water to put out fires. With the final adj ustments completed by the contractor on Sept. 29, the weeks since have been a game of waiting for the rain, Washington said. J anet Newton, who has lived on Lake Louise Drive for 32 years, said she has never wanted it to rain as much as she does now because she is so eager to see the lake come back. At one point in the process of figuring out what to do to bring Lake Louise back, Newton said she had “ pretty much thrown in the towel. I thought it wasn’ t coming back.” “ J oe and Wingding kept on saying, ‘ Don’ t give up, it will be back.’ At first it had the odor, it stunk, and it was a mucky, ugly mess. Then everything started turning green and I thought, ‘ If it doesn’ t come back, it won’ t be so bad; it looks green.’ But J oe said, ‘ No we are going to get the lake back. Don’ t give up,’ ” Newton said. “ So this is really nice. I am looking forward to getting back to having family outings. We used to have family outings and campfires by the lake

Wine festival always brings new experiences By Laura McFarland News Editor

sn’ t it interesting how you can attend an event year after year and have it be both the same and entirely different? There are certain events that I know I am going to try to cover each year because of the attendance or the local impact. As an annual Powhatan County celebration that consistently draws a large attendance each year, the Powhatan Festival of the G rape is one of those events. Attending this year’ s 15th annual festival on Saturday, Oct. 7, marked the fourth time I covered the event. Yet again, even though it felt in many ways like the previous years, it was still a new experience. For one thing, I was there for the entire event this year. Since I cover it for the newspaper, I am used to arriving before it officially opens simply because once it is underway many of the vendors do not have time to talk. The wine vendors, in particular, are too busy pouring and explaining their selections to stop and chat. Thankfully, all that I asked in the last few

years still let me come into their tents to get some photographs of them explaining and pouring, which I always appreciate because they tend to be so busy. As with last year, the Powhatan Today had a booth at the festival that was manned by our staff members. This year, sports editor Billy Fellin and advertising sales representative J .R. Hammond helped run the table and did an excellent j ob. It was always gratifying to have people stop by and say they enj oy reading the newspaper. That always makes us smile. There were a few definite differences this year compared to last. First, we got to put up our tent this year, which wasn’ t really possible in 2016 because of strong wind. The day wasn’ t a scorcher this year, but temperatures were high enough that I was glad to have the shade. The newspaper had a few free giveaways for festival-goers on top of copies of our newspaper and ReDiscover magaz ine. What fascinated me was the interest in can/ wine glass lids. We gave away the same lids last year, but most people seemed to prefer the bags we brought. This year the same lids seemed like a hot commodity with people actually searching us

She took my breath away By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

I suspect every father sheds a tear or two in the impending weeks or minutes before a daughter’ s wedding, but, for weeks leading up to the big day, I dismissed any silly thoughts of emotion and attempted to focus on the wonderful years I’ ve had with my oldest daughter J aime. I kept telling myself that I wasn’ t going to wallow in emotion or allow sentimental silliness to spoil a special day. I think it was my way of avoiding the anxiety that accompanies each father as he prepares to take that long walk down the aisle, daughter in arm. And, combined with a hectic schedule that seemed to postpone any thoughts of lament, it basically worked. As I clicked off the numerous chores leading up to the event, I felt no anxiety, no sense of nervousness and I was convinced my nonchalant approach to the wedding had relieved me of any stress or anxiety associated with the event. J aime’ s brother and sisters were in the wedding, so preparation was hectic with last-minute hemlines that produced my first hint of anxiety. We arrived only slightly behind schedule, and pre-wedding photos, girl giddiness and final instructions proceeded without a hitch. After the photographer took some final shots of the bride, it was time for all to retreat to their assigned spots. The wedding was held beside a pool in a private residence that someone had taken hours to decorate, transforming the space into a magical and idyllic oasis of uniq ue lights, open fire pits and a uniq ue altar set at the end of the pool. I was assigned to a spot right outside the rear entrance to the house, a door that would soon open and expose the prettiest bride that I’ ve ever seen – a statement made with a self-admitted bias and an even larger amount of pride. And all of those mental tricks to stay steady and unmoved flew out the window with my first glance at my daughter as she entered. My eyes immediately filled, lips trembled, and knees weakened. The sight of that beautiful child, my first born, literally took my breath away and, for a moment, I couldn’ t move. Somehow, I extended my hand and es-

corted her down the steps where we j oined her mother for a walk to the altar that paralleled the length of the pool with me on the business side closest to the pool. “ Don’ t push me,” I said as we met my ex-wife to begin the walk. I’ m not sure if either of them saw my tears, but I q uickly gathered myself and made the walk. Looking up, I was greeted with the vision of my three other children, my sister and her family standing at the altar waiting for our arrival. The steps went slowly. I think it’ s designed that way to allow parents to inhale the last breaths of children who now embark on a life of their own. Sure, life will be special and filled with memories of a different kind, but it will never be the same. Somehow, with my daughter on my arm and the people I loved the most surrounding me, I finally took time to enj oy the love and j oy of such a special occasion. It was a uniq ue ceremony with a special message of friendship and love combined with numerous moments of self-deprecating humor. “ I told you this was the first time I’ ve done this,” the officiating guy laughed as he studied his iPad for the next comments. I suppose you had to be there, but it worked and most folks said it was a special memory for them as well. As the ceremony ended, I hugged J aime with dry eyes and a big smile and told her I felt like the luckiest father in the world. I then headed over to hug my son-in-law. As we embraced, I noticed the streams of tears on his face. E ither we’ re both babies, or we both share an undying love for J aime. The tears affirmed the latter and confirmed something I already know. K ent and my daughter love each other, and we love him. They have endured trials and tribulations to make their dream come true, and their lives will be special and full of wonderful memories … and hopefully full of babies. Now, I’ m not advocating that we all should parade around with unchecked emotions, but trying to suppress them is probably not a good idea. It also reaffirms something I hope I already knew – that sometimes it’ s OK to let your heart take priority over your head, and shed a few tears. And, for those of you who thought this column would end with a nervous old father falling in to the pool, I hate to disappoint you but I left high and dry, and extremely proud.

out to ask for one. It was a comical example to me of how trends change from year to year. When I wasn’ t working or at our table, I was in the booth next to ours. An artist friend and former coworker brought her artwork to sell and it was great to spend time with her and watch her talk about her artwork, which is a real passion for her. The overall feel of the festival was as j ovial as ever, but attendance is expected to have been down. While that might make it easier to get around and mean the lines are shorter, it probably doesn’ t help with vendor sales, which are an important part of the festival. For their sake, I hope the attendance shoots back up some next year once the construction around the courthouse is done. Overall, it was a thoroughly enj oyable day and a credit to the festival reaching its 15th year in existence. While I am sure organiz ers don’ t even want to be thinking right now about next year, I will say I still look forward to seeing what they have in store for the festival’ s Sweet 16.

L E T T E R S TO T H E E D I TO R Reader responds to letters defending use of Confederate battle flags Dear Editor, I am responding to the two writers who addressed the earlier comments on the Labor Day parade. The issue was the presence of the Confederate battle flags. Both writers made compelling cases honoring the history of the flag and the Confederate cause, but I must note, neither addressed the history that leads many African Americans to consider the flag as a symbol of hate. The flag was and is the calling card of the K K K . It was carried proudly by the adults who felt compelled to deny children entrance to public schools and by white supremacists who advocate elimination of J ews and all non-whites. They burn crosses, brandish weapons, issue threats, kill and create havoc in the name of the Confederate flag. That is the Confederate flag we know. Yes, I am offended. I have been offended by the flag for over 50 years, and attempts at discussions on it have been dismissed with, " It' s my heritage, get over it." You spoke of teaching your children of their proud history. What do I teach mine? So here's the thing: I am also an American. My history is your history. None of us should pick and choose what is presented. It may appear that we are at a hopeless divide, but that is not the case. The flag has a history of being used by haters and that is where we stand today. We have the power to create a new story. Our challenge is to move forward away from hate and divisive attitudes. Create a common story we can all be proud to teach our children. The flag is not the whole story. Geri Venable Powhatan County

There will be a minimum of two trained catechists working together to assist the children as they explore and grow in their faith and knowledge of God's love of them.

WOODSON REACHES MILESTONE

PHOTO BY ANJIE KAY

Powhatan football coach Jim Woodson (center) celebrates following Powhatan’s 35-0 win over Fluvanna on Oct. 13 with Tristen Bradley (28) and Cameron Arnold (64). The win was Woodson’s 275th win in his career, the most ever in the history of Richmond-area football coaches.

Powhatan’s head football McMullin scores three TDs coach achieves career mark in 35-0 win over Fluvanna By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

As the points began to pile up and the clock continued to wind down, the anticipation was palpable in the stadium at Powhatan High School. The players began preparing how to best get their coach with what was left in the water coolers. The fans were cheering louder and louder. But, Indians head coach Jim Woodson kept his focus on the game in front of him until scoreboard read all zeros and then he, and all the Powhatan faithful, celebrated an accomplishment 33 years in the making. After the water dunking by his players, the black and orange of Woodson’s jacket was a little darker due to all the water, but the smile on his face and on his players faces as well, could not have shined brighter.

The 35-0 win over Fluvanna was the 275th win of Woodson’s storied career and gave him the most wins of any high school football coach in the Richmond area in Virginia High School League history. “It’s a lot of fun, it’s a great place,” Woodson said of Powhatan, his home and where he played football as a student-athlete. “It’s a place with a great tradition of football. We have the backing from the administration, they’ve always supported us.” One huge aspect to Woodson’s success over the years has been his coaching staff, which has some of the same faces as it did 33 years ago. “I’ve had a great coaching staff,” Woodson said. “I’m very fortunate to keep the coaching staff with me as long as I have. Ernie (Henderson) has been with me the whole time. Jason Campbell see WOODSON pg. 2B}

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

It was homecoming night and there was a feeling of excitement in the air at Powhatan High School on Oct. 13. There were no Friday the 13th curses anywhere to be found. Powered by a dominant defense and Brendan McMullin’s three touchdowns, the Indians cruised past visiting Fluvanna 35-0 in a Jefferson District matchup. “It was one of the best games we’ve played to this point,” coach Jim Woodson said. “We got all of our injured guys back this week. It was really helpful. Our timing was down. We came in ready to play.” The Indians defense more than held the Flucos offense in check—they barely got any positive yards. The Fluvanna running backs tallied a grand total of four rushing yards among three backs.

Flucos quarterback Colby Martin only completed four passes for 47 yards and backup Ethan Graves had eight total yards and as many completions to Fluvanna receivers as Powhatan defenders. Martin also threw a pick, which was returned by Ben Nowacki and set up one of the Indians five touchdowns. As the defense held Fluvanna to barely any forward movement, that led to excellent field position most every time for the Indians offense. Powhatan quarterback Noah Dowdy and the offensive unit took advantage of the short field they were given and put together consistent and efficient drives that ended in points more often than not. The first score was in the first quarter as McMullin ran it in from four yards out. He also had a 15-yard reception on the drive and was effective out of the backfield as well. see INDIANS, pg. 3B}

On the ensuing drive, just four plays after McMullinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s score due to a Fluvanna three-and-out, the Indians took to the air as Dowdy hit McMullin for a 52-yard score and a 14-0 lead. Powhatanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next score was set up by a huge turnover by Nowacki, as he picked off Martin and took it 87 yards to the Flucos three-yard line. It took just one play for Jacob Taylor to punch it into the end zone for a score and a 21-0 lead. Fluvanna held the ball for just one play on their next drive as Drew Hamshar found room for a long pass play, but fumbled and the Indians recovered. Dowdy made quick work of the chance as he hit McMullin for a 10-yard

score and a 28-0 score. The senior transfer was 6-of-9 for 115 yards and two touchdowns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put it all together tonight,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping now that we can continue it for the next four games.â&#x20AC;? After halftime, Powhatan received the kickoff and marched right down the field, ending with a Taylor touchdown from eight-yards out, his second of the game. McMullin had 54 rushing yards and 68 receiving yards with his three scores. Taylor rushed 18 times for 100 yards and two scores. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a fun time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the first time this season where I felt like we executed as a team. We all gave 100-percent.â&#x20AC;? The Indians improved to 2-5 and travel to Monticello for a 7:30 kickoff on Oct. 20.

Powhatan’s Abby Nee (1) and Katie Henderson (13) go up for a block against Western Albemarle’s Cassidy Wilson during the five-set loss to the Warriors on Oct. 12.

Indians fall in five sets to W. Albemarle By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

n the first matchup of the season against Western Albemarle, the Powhatan Indians put on a blocking clinic, according to coach Amber Foos, and took the Warriors in straight sets. It was a different story altogether when the Warriors visited Powhatan on Oct. 12. Fueled by errors and a reinvigorated Western Albemarle team after a big fourth-set win, the Indians fell 3-2 (25-23, 24-26, 25-22, 16-25, 11-15) to the visiting Warriors. “We had errors, the passing was inconsistent,” Foos said. “The set are then inconsistent and Abby [Nee] is dealing with passes up and down. You have players not being where they should be. When we were on a run, we did a great job. It’s that inconsistency where they start to get frustrated or they make a mistake…my outside hitter had four or five errors in a row. I try not to pull them off, since they need to learn from their mistakes, but as an outside hitter, you should be getting down those balls.” The first 19 points of the first set were back-andforth, with neither team gaining more than a threepoint advantage. Nee snagged an ace to put the Indians ahead 11-9 for a lead that they would hold until the Warriors stormed back to tie it at 15-15. The Indians flipped the script on Western Albemarle, erasing an 18-15 lead to force a point-for-point bat-

has been here like 25 years. It’s really nice, we go to practice and we know what we’re going to do. It’s been a blessing in that respect.” Woodson had been sitting tied with Roger Brooke of King William/ Henrico at 274 wins after the team’s 24-14 win over Western Albemarle on Sept. 22. The Indians dropped a close game to Charlottesville and fell to Louisa in two consecutive games, pushing the chance to achieve the milestone to the game against Fluvanna. Perhaps it was fitting, while painful for the Indians record that the milestone win would come at home on homecoming. Woodson was inducted into the Virginia High School League Hall of Fame in 2013. He has led the Indians to two VHSL

state championships, the first a 20-8 win over Giles High School in the 1996 Division 2 title game. In 2003, the Indians grabbed the second crown in the program’s history, a 6-0 win over William Fleming in Division 4. Woodson has been state coach of the year twice, both years that Powhatan won state titles, and was Richmond all-metro coach of the year five times. “It’s a heck of an accomplishment,” Woodson said. “We’ve been fortunate that we’ve had some really good football players. We haven’t had the world-beaters or NFL players or anything, but some really, really good football players. We’ve had football players who wanted to compete and wanted to win. We’ve had some kids who won state championships and went 14-0 and they had no business going 14-0. But, they loved to compete,

tle down the stretch that eventually went in Powhatan’s favor 25-23. In the second set, Powhatan jumped out to a lead and held it through most of the set, until Western Albemarle tied it at 17-17 and put the pressure back on the Indians. Powhatan led as late as 24-23, when Sierra Ellison scored a kill, but Western Albemarle went on a 3-0 run, including two aces, to take the set and tie the game at 1-1. Powhatan fought back in set three, holding the lead the majority of the set and holding off a late Western Albemarle surge to take it 25-22. Rachel Mueller, Ellison and Lauren Llewellyn were big players in the third set to establish tempo and get key points when the Indians needed them. In the fourth set, however, things went downhill for Powhatan. Western Albemarle gained the lead in the set 6-5 after a Powhatan miscue and set sail for the remainder of the set. The Warriors went on several spurts that distanced themselves from the Indians. When Powhatan was able to get a point down here or there, Western Albemarle would get three or four to answer and squelch any chance of a Powhatan comeback. Powhatan’s last gasp in the fourth set came at 2116, which was a two-point run for the Indians after a Nee kill and a Warriors error. But, a service error led to three more Powhatan errors and gave the set, and the momentum, to the War-

they were Powhatan football players, they liked each other and had great team morale. I just tried to get out of the way, those guys loved it. “It’s the players, it’s the kids. I’m very blessed to have been here as long as I have been and to make this accomplishment. I’m proud to say that I’ve been here long enough and work with the young men in this community to get these victories. You’re talking about some great coaches in this area…Chester Fritz, Al Rinaldi, Ron Axselle, those guys...hellacious coaches. It’s just a blessing to be in this spot.” Woodson said that he’s always admired coaches throughout his life, especially as a young man in Powhatan. “The coaches were my role models,” he said. “My father died when I was six-years-old, I saw him one time in my life. I

riors. Western Albemarle set the tone after an ace put them up 5-2 in the set and, much like the fourth set, were able to outpace the Indians offense for the five-set win. “I can’t say they’re making rookie mistakes, but they are and they’re not rookies,” Foos said. “We switched the lineup a few times to give Abby the chance to hit. It’s just frustrating as a coach because they can be so much better than where they play some games. Some games it’s like they’re doing awesome and a good job. They don’t stay consistent throughout the entire match. They switch modes and tempos setby-set.” The night was one that started and ended with celebration, however, as it was Dig Pink night at Powhatan. The game was one that highlighted the fight against cancer, one that is close to the Indians family. “It means a lot,” Foos said. “We have faculty, staff and family members that we honored tonight. It’s a nice event, I enjoy it. My grandmother had breast cancer and one of teachers here, his wife had it. It’s honoring them, to come out here and play for them.” Powhatan split the week as they defeated Orange on the road on Oct. 10 in straight sets, 25-11, 25-9, 25-17. Nee had 13 assists and six kills in the win over the Hornets, while Mueller had 11 digs and Katie Coats added two blocks. The Indians hit the road on Oct. 17 and travelled to Charlottesville for a matchup with the Black Knights before returning home on Oct. 19 to take on Louisa.

didn’t really have a male role model. My coaches were my role models. Richard Oberson, Jerry Ward, Bob Baltimore and Ken Nichols. Those were my coaches. Like Jerry Ward, he taught me P.E. I was one of those kids

craving attention, asking for someone to shoot with me. He always found a couple minutes to shoot with me in a competition. It sounds crazy, but I look forward to coming to school just to take him on.”

Given those role models, it is no wonder that Woodson wanted to become a coach. Now, all these years later, he’s the football coach standing above the rest in the Richmond area with the most wins.

Powhatan Today, October 18, 2017

Schardt wins freshman race at Pole Green Park By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

t the prestigious Milestat Invitational at Pole Green Park on Oct. 14, the Powhatan boys and girls cross country teams made their presence known over five different races. Cooper Schardt, a freshman, made the biggest wave of them all as he came home first in the freshman boys race with a time of 17:27. Schardt gapped Midlothianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Brian Tavenner by five seconds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved the race and it felt great,â&#x20AC;? Schardt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the last meet (Big Cat Invitational), I slipped and fell, so today I wanted to redeem myself. I achieved my goals of winning the race and getting a personal record by pushing doubt out of my mind, trusting my training and coaching and hanging on to the first-place runner and passing him in the last 800 meters of the race. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very happy and proud of all my teammates today to. They did very well.â&#x20AC;? Schardt was also interviewed my Milestat.com and the video of Schardt was posted on that website.

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great results and the work leading up to this season and meet has shown how much more, physically and mentally, we are capable of.â&#x20AC;?

Coach Bucky Webb said that the invitational at Pole Green Park is always a good experience for his squad. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is a lot of great competition and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a mostly flat, quick course, which nets our runners great times,â&#x20AC;? he wrote in an email. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had many personal records broken Saturday and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly a rewarding moment as a coach when celebrating a personal victory with our runners.â&#x20AC;?
