VDOT holds meeting on two bridge replacements By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – The Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) met with the community last week for an information meeting focused on two upcoming bridge replacement proj ects in Powhatan County. The meeting held on Wednesday, Oct. 25 had representatives from VDOT there to discuss replacing both the Old Buckingham Road (Route 13) bridge over Sallee Creek and the Cartersville Road (Route 684) bridge over Deep Creek. The roughly $ 2 million proj ect to replace the bridge over Sallee Creek, which is 97 years old, is expected to last about four months and take place in 2019, according to Winston Phillips, proj ect manager with VDOT. He pointed out that VDOT will be replacing the bridge with a box culvert, which is a concrete rectangular box that will have the road run over it and still allow the creek to flow through it. The Deep Creek Bridge, which is 79 years old, will be replaced with another bridge, but that proj ect is not expected to take place until 2020, said Adam Brooks, proj ect manager. However, that proj ect is expected to take about eight to nine months.

Shirley and Earnest Goins discuss a planned replacement of Deep Creek Bridge in 2020 with Adam Brooks, VDOT project manager.

In both cases, the roads will be temporarily closed at the bridge construction sites and detours will be in place for the duration of the proj ects.

Sallee Creek Bridge Built in 1920, the bridge over Sallee Creek has deteriorated over time and needs to be replaced, Phillips said. The foundation is eroding, there are cracks in the abutment, and it has substandard shoulders. The bridge will be replaced with a box culvert, with the opening that will be under the roadway calculated at a siz e that allows for roughly the same flow of water to pass through as

before the proj ect, he said. “ From the roadway and the general public, you won’ t notice a difference. The maj or difference you will see is wider shoulders on the bridge,” Phillips said. “ You won’ t know the difference between a box and a bridge when you travel over it. You won’ t be able to tell at all.” The estimated $ 2 million price tag on the proj ect includes the design, purchase of rights of way and construction, he said. VDOT will be contacting about five nearby landowners to purchase rights of way to do the proj ect. The actual construction is expected to begin in sumsee VDOT, pg. 5 }

OWHATAN – The Powhatan County Board of Supervisors last week unanimously agreed to extend certain property tax exemptions to the surviving spouses of first responders killed in the line of duty. A public hearing was held at the board’ s meeting on Monday, Oct. 23, in which the supervisors were presented with an amendment to the county’ s ordinance regarding taxation. The change to the ordinance has an effective date of J an. 1, 2017, so it includes any covered personnel killed earlier in the year. The Code of Virginia enables a county to exempt from taxation real property of a surviving spouse of any covered person who occupies the real property as his/ her principal place of residence. J amie Timberlake, commissioner of the revenue, presented the proposed amendment to the board and pointed out that it is an optional tax exemption localities can make; it is not mandatory. “ Voting to do this is a step toward recogniz ing the service of persons killed in action,” he said. The resolution references the Code of Virginia’ s Line of Duty Act, which covers an extensive list of personnel, including a law enforcement officer of the Commonwealth or any of its political subdivisions; a correctional officer; a j ail officer; a regional j ail or j ail farm superintendent; a sheriff or deputy sheriff; a police chaplain; a member of recogniz ed fire or E MS companies; a member of any fire company providing fire protection services for facilities of the Virginia National G uard or the Virginia Air National G uard; a member of the Virginia National G uard or the Virginia Defense Force serving on official state or federal duty; any special agent of the Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Board; a regular or special conservation police officer; any Department of E mergency Management haz ardous materials officer; any other employee of the Department of E mergency Management who is performing official duties of the agency, when see BOARD pg. 4 }

Man arrested for 911 call that led to school lockdowns Staff Report The Powhatan County Sherriff’ s Office arrested a Chesterfield County man whose fictitious 911 calls about a violent attack last month briefly led to the lockdown of two local schools as a precaution. David Brian Watson of Chesterfield County was arrested on two misdemeanor charges of falsely summoning law enforcement by phone and he was released on bond. On Friday, Oct. 20, Powhatan’ s E mergency

WATSON

Communication Center received a 911 call advising of shots fired in the proximity of South Creek One, according to Anne G . Reynolds, crime analyst for the sheriff’ s office. Deputies responded to the

area and this call resulted in the Powhatan High School and Flat Rock E lementary School being placed on lockdown. It was determined after investigation that this call was false, she said. On Tuesday, Oct. 24, Powhatan’ s E mergency Communication Center received another 911 call from the same cell phone. The male made additional erroneous statements. Further investigation identified Watson as the suspect. He is scheduled to appear before the Powhatan G eneral District Court on Friday, Nov. 3.

Registrar reiterates new precincts Staff Report The Powhatan County Voter Registrar’ s Office reminded some voters in Districts 1 and 3 that they will be heading to a new polling place to cast their ballots with the G eneral E lection on Nov. 7. In District 1’ s Subletts Precinct, residents who previously voted at Fine Creek Volunteer Fire Department, which is located at 1825 Huguenot Trail, will now be casting their ballots at St Luke’ s E piscopal Church, 2245 Huguenot Trail. The new polling place at the church is about 1.8 miles west of the old location. Likewise, in District 3’ s Bethesda Precinct, people who voted at Bethesda

Church of G od, 2480 Academy Road, will now be voting j ust across the street in the library at Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School, 2501 Academy Road. With the District 1 move, K aren Alexander, director of elections, said the change is mainly because the fire station’ s bay, which is used for voting, does not have heating or air conditioning. This can be a problem in different times of the year, depending on the election, especially since poll workers are at their locations for 16 hours straight, she said. Having the polling place at St. Luke’ s instead addresses both of the issues – regular heating and

air conditioning – as well as ADA accessibility and plenty of parking, she said. With the District 3 change, Alexander said Bethesda Church of G od told her it could no longer accommodate the polling station and asked it to relocate. She said she approached Blessed Sacrament and found the school amenable to allowing the polling place to make a simple move across the street. The school will not have classes on E lection Day, but it is a parent/ teacher conference day, which was originally scheduled for another day that week but was swapped to make this situation work.

Ellie donates birthday gifts to Christmas Mother program Staff Report A young Powhatan girl with a giving heart turned a celebration that was supposed to be about her and made it about others. E llie Nuckols, daughter of Heather and Nathan Nuckols of Powhatan, wanted to do something different for her 7th birthday this year instead of j ust receiving presents. So when she sent out her invitations to her friends to attend her birthday party, instead of bringing her gifts, she asked them to buy a toy for the Powhatan Christmas Mother instead. E llie said she thought about the parents that don’ t have enough to buy their children toys. She wanted her friends to bring toys to give to the Powhatan Christmas Mother program so parents could give these toys to their children. Teresa Whitaker, 2016 Powhatan Christmas Mother, said she was blown away that anyone so young would give so unconditionally to share her birthday presents so other children could have something. “ What a wonderful testimony to her parents to encourage and support her

efforts. This is definitely a display of the spirit of the Christmas Mother program,” Whitaker said. E llie has chosen a different organiz ation every year since she was 5, and this year, the Powhatan Christmas Mother was her pick. Her mom said they wanted to stay local with the charity they picked. Heather Nuckols added that she sees a great deal of entitlement with the younger generations and she did not want her children to be that way. She would send with the invitation a req uest list for the

organiz ation E llie chooses so the gifts the children bring will directly fill the need of that organiz ation. E llie said she wanted to challenge other children in the community to follow her example and do the same thing by having their guests bring items for a charity of their choice instead of gifts for the birthday boy or girl. The Powhatan Christmas Mother E veryday Committee expressed their thanks at their monthly meeting on Sept. 10 for E llie’ s kindness and generosity.

Deputies investigating Saturday night shooting By Laura McFarland New s Editor

POWHATAN – Powhatan County Sheriff’ s deputies cordoned off the 2100 block of J udes Ferry Road on Saturday evening after receiving a report of an intoxicated male with a firearm. At about 6 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28, 911 operators received a call from an unidentified woman saying her husband was drunk and armed with a handgun, Sheriff Brad Nunnally said. The woman reportedly called officials

after she left the home. Deputies responded, set a perimeter around the house and notified neighbors in the immediate area. “ U ltimately, approximately an hour later, we located the subj ect in the backyard suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest,” Nunnally said. The sheriff declined to identify the man but said he was coherent and speaking before being taken by ambulance to a hospital. His condition is unknown. Deputies are investigating the incident. No charges have been filed.

those duties are related to a maj or disaster or emergency; any employee of any county, city, or town performing official emergency management or emergency services duties in cooperation with the Department of E mergency Management during a maj or disaster or emergency, and a conservation officer of the Department of Conservation and Recreation. According to the resolution the board adopted, the exemption is for the spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s dwelling and up to 1 acre of land upon which the house sits. If the property is larger than 1 acre, any amount above that acre is still subj ect to property taxes. Timberlake pointed out that the current state law says the county has to calculate the average assessed value in the entire county for single-family dwellings to get how much is exempt. That means it does not automatically exempt the full assessed value of the spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s house if it is more than that average value. The county will have to calculate that number, he said. Timberlake also pointed out the exemption is portable, so if the spouse moves to a new residence, they can take the exemption with them and be exempted by the same new factor. Chairman Bill Melton, who represents District 4, said he was in full support of the ordinance but did not like that the full value of the surviving spouseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s house might not be exempt. â&#x20AC;&#x153; I j ust donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; t want to short change anyone that had a spouse who was lost in the line of service â&#x20AC;Ś j ust because they live in a bigger house â&#x20AC;&#x201C; busted their butts to live in a bigger house,â&#x20AC;? Melton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153; It seemed the whole intent of the ordinance to me.â&#x20AC;? During a public hear-

ing, Sheriff Brad Nunnally spoke in support of the resolution. He said it was brought to his attention by his officeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s victim/ witness program director Wendy McClellan and he agreed it was a great idea. The sheriff said he feels the weight of being responsible for the men and women in his office and the exemption is one more measure of relief the county can provide widows or widowers when their spouse makes that ultimate sacrifice. â&#x20AC;&#x153; What it also does for the men and women while they are working is gives them a little bit of peace of mind. We are not going to make great salaries. We will talk about that every year at budget,â&#x20AC;? he said with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153; But it is not a career that is known for producing millionaires. â&#x20AC;&#x153; So everything that we can get legislated that allows us to take that off our mind when we are out there going through the dark alley or a backyard at 3 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; clock in the morning or in the middle of a fight with two spouses that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; t get along â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that peace of mind allows us to do our j ob without thinking twice. It is one of those things that, if we know our spouse is going to be taken care of, it is much easier to make that sacrifice than it is if we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; t know that. This would be a nice step in that direction to where we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; t have to worry about the home we built with our spouses being lost because of that income,â&#x20AC;? he said. Carson Tucker, District 5, said the resolution is a â&#x20AC;&#x153; very small measure â&#x20AC;Ś of our respect and cherishing of the people who stand up for us as a society.â&#x20AC;? The board then unanimously voted to pass the resolution amending the ordinance. Laura McFarland may be reached at LmcFarland@powhatantoday.com.

mer 2019 and last about four months, he said. “ We are planning this to occur during the offschool season so we won’ t impact traffic as badly,” Phillips said, adding there is a bus turnaround in the proj ect design if construction runs into the school year. The established detour VDOT is mapping out to get around the construction incorporates Clementown, G enito and G iles Bridge roads, which is a total detour of 25 miles. While there are smaller connecting roads that would cut down that distance for the average driver, the detour can accommodate the full spectrum of vehicles, from cars to large trucks to school buses.

“ If it were only vehicles or passenger cars, we could send them down another route. The locals may know other routes and take other routes, but we want to make sure that trucks can get through here as well and not back up or damage the other secondary roads,” Phillips said. He added that about 8 percent of the traffic calculated in 2015 on that stretch of Old Buckingham Road was large trucks, and VDOT doesn’ t

want to send that traffic down those smaller streets. The average daily traffic (ADT) in 2015 on the road was 3,200, but the road has a proj ected ADT of 3,600 in 2039. Phillips said VDOT has examined the planned detour roads and they don’ t appear to need any maj or improvements to prepare them for possible increased traffic as a result of the bridge closing.

on the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors, attended the information meeting last week and said the bridge over Sallee Creek desperately needs to be replaced. He pointed out that VDOTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; s plan to close the bridge completely during construction helped reduce the overall length of the closure and saved taxpayer dollars instead of doing it in phases. â&#x20AC;&#x153; The key with it is that it will be much safer for everyone when it is finished. My thought as I

spoke to VDOT was to make sure that any of the roads that are being used as detours are improved as much as can be during that four-month stretch to manage the increase in traffic,â&#x20AC;? he said. Resident Ray K ramer, who lives about 2 miles from the bridge, attended the meeting and said the safety of the bridge has long been a concern of his and he is pleased VDOT is addressing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ve been driving across Sallee Creek Bridge for 65 years. The first time I went across it, we needed

a new bridge, and when I went across it to come here this evening, we needed a new bridge,â&#x20AC;? he said. K ramer added he hopes improvements will be made to either markings on the ground or thinning back the limbs on the recommended detour roads to make them safer for the anticipated increased traffic.

s I walked through an overflow crowd at Homecoming last week, I couldn’ t help but wonder if all those excited kids full of energy and enthusiasm were aware that choices made today could affect the rest of their lives. A changing educational environment is providing a variety of choices for students in today’ s schools, and early career choices are becoming the norm rather than the exception. One school officials told me last week that it’ s never too early to start when planning for your child’ s future. That philosophy stands in stark contrast to the way experts felt decades ago when my generation faced career choice dilemmas. The unimportance of making stress-filled decisions early in high school was the order of the day, and some students entered college with no idea where it would lead. Many students selected general studies to match their inconclusive tendencies regarding future career choices. I suppose it was a different era in a less competitive world where some waited well into their 30s to make lifelong career decisions, and others never discovered their true niche and made careers out of changing j obs and seeking new skills. Covering last week’ s Hanover County Public Schools’ E ducational E xpo, I noted elementary students who sat patiently with their parents listening to descriptions of specialty programs still years away for them. Many of them already have Plans A, B and C mapped out, and they are well informed and prepared to take full advantage of the expanded opportunities. Career and technical opportunities continue to attract students who seek stable well-paying careers that do not requi re college degrees. Local school systems are not ignoring the changing environment, and continue to offer more and varied curricula choices for its students. Older special programs like IB (International Baccalaureate) and AP (Advanced Placement) continue to thrive, but the gap between the average student and the availability to access specialty programs has shrunk with the expanded opportunities. Complaints that accused some systems of catering to above average or gifted programs are no longer valid in most systems, and today’ s educational

choices and specialty programs are designed to better educate all students, not j ust the exceptional ones. Partnerships with local community colleges are enhancing the ability of students to graduate high school with skills and certificates that make them immediately employable with a decent living wage. It doesn’ t mean they will stop there, but offers a gateway to rewarding careers where their experience and skills offer a sort of j ob stability often lacking in other career choices. A changing market means most graduates will work for many companies in various positions over the course of a career, and the old idea of a company man working for the same firm for a lifetime are rare. Since most of us are acq uainted with the responsibility levels of our elementary and middle school students, it’ s more important for parents to educate themselves regarding important choices facing their students at early ages. As parents exited the expo last week, I heard many lament that they wish they had known about these programs earlier since many begin in ninth grade. Many seemed unaware of the varied and expanded choices for today’ s students. As one educator said, “ It’ s not your grandfather’ s school system.” No, it’ s not and our schools are changing for the better with a new set of students, choices and demands, and programs are now available that allow children to pursue career goals at an early age. And, this is not one of those new fangled ideas that make people like me yearn for the old days when most people received the same standard degree. The sooner a young adult accommodates interests that lead to career choices the better. That’ s not to say there’ s no room for the late bloomers or less conventional students who choose to experience more real world activity before deciding on a career. But, the changing environment with all those choices can only benefit the maj ority of our students as they prepare for 21st century j obs that req uire advanced and specific training. For parents, it’ s a good time to acq uaint ourselves with what is available and when those programs begin. E ven with the changing educational environment and classrooms of the future, it’ s good to know that some things stay the same. The early bird still gets the worm!

Powhatan United Methodist Church is expanding again Contributed Report To be sure, G od is on the move at Powhatan U nited Methodist Church to be and make disciples of J esus Christ. In 1983, the “ little white church up on the hill” moved to its current location on Rosson Road, then added a sanctuary, became debt free, built the Christian Life Center (CLC), and now they are expanding yet again. G roundbreaking for the newest expansion was held on Oct. 1, to enclose the two existing buildings with a welcoming space, staff offices, restrooms and classrooms. This includes a 2 Ω-ye arold room for the preschool - doubling as a nursery on Sunday

mornings. Renovations will also happen in the kitchen, sanctuary, narthex, choir and youth rooms. The church invites people to come and see the ways G od is working at Powhatan U MC. Every day the congregation strives to be and make disciples of J esus Christ as they welcome the thirsty to worship, encounter Christ in small groups, serve G od is mission, and celebrate growing in G od's grace. All are welcome to worship at 8:30 and 11 a.m. Sunday mornings. As construction continues in the new year, the congregation will worship in the CLC. They hope to complete all the construction and renovation by fall 2018.

ademically, but also as young people of character who embody the army values: loyalty, duty, respect selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage, said Staff Sgt. David Crayle. “ By embracing these q ualities, they are able to rise to meet any challenge and become greater than they were before,” he said. Crayle then invited other members of the army and Sheppard to come forward so the student could be presented with the official bowl j acket and welcome him to the band. After being awarded the j acket, Sheppard thanked the sponsors and selection committee, Powhatan band teachers Nick Snead and Neil Landini for “ always encouraging me to strive for

more,” and the Powhatan County Public Schools administration and school board “ for continuing to place value in the performing arts for Powhatan County.” He finished by thanking his parents, J on and Candi Sheppard, for their support since he j oined band in sixth grade, through all the years of practicing at home; getting him to rehearsals, auditions, performances, and competitions; and supporting his passion for and exploration of music. “ They have been through every step with me and they have been j ust the most amaz ing parents I could ask for,” he said. After the ceremony, Sheppard’ s parents, who are also musically inclined, said they were truly excited for their son and how he was recogniz ed for being selected to the special marching band. Sheppard is in many ensembles in Powhatan and other locations and can play a variety of instruments. At PHS, he is in the percussion ensemble classes, marching band, indoor drumline, and j az z band. He also marches in drum corps out of state. “ I try to put my torch in as many fires as I can,” he said. Landini, band director and percussion specialist, said percussion students start in sixth grade with a bell kit and a practice pad

and then keep learning new instruments as they grow. “ At a certain point, your skills become portable across the instruments,” he said. Snead, director of bands, said Sheppard has also taken the initiative to learn wind instruments such as trumpet and saxophone and that he is “ an overall great musician.” Sheppard said he hopes to attend G eorge Mason U niversity and maj or in performance and education and someday wants to teach music at the collegiate level. For him, it is a passion he wants to explore for the rest of his life, he said. “ There are so many things about it that I love. The way it makes me feel when I am playing it and while I am watching it – it changes who I am inside. It makes me feel relaxed and calm. E verything outside of music darkens out and is gone and I am stuck in this one moment in time,” Sheppard said. “ And it affects the rest of your day. You listen to some good music in the morning and it affects your the entire day.” Landini said that when a website link where people can watch the halftime show becomes available, the school district will promote it so people can catch Sheppard’ s performance.

Parents will be able to leave their child at the church for this time. There is no cost for participating in the program at present.

Workshop Way preschool running at Little Zion Contributed Report Two of the Sisters from Belmead have moved their preschool to Little Z ion Baptist Church. Sister Beulah Martin and Sister Maureen T. Carroll were warmly welcomed and given great support by the Rev. G regory Beechaum, the trustees of Little Z ion, and a wonderful group of founding volunteers: Maxcine Ross, April G ray, Anne Palmore, and Diane Simmons. All got to work last spring to begin the licensing process to establish a certified Workshop Way® preschool on the church grounds about 5 miles from Belmead. Thanks to the members and trustees of Little Z ion Baptist Church, a new fully licensed preschool opened Sept. 18 with their first three children. What makes this preschool a uniq ue place of learning is “ Pilon® Workshop Way,® a system of human growth for education… for learners of all ages.” Little Z ion Workshop Way Preschool looks and feels a little different from other daycare centers. The first focus of a Workshop Way school is to provide students (even at age 3) with whole person growth before pressuring them to master knowledge skills. All 3- and 4-year-olds learn at an amaz ing rate every day. They are watching and participating in their world where everything is a new experience. These days so many little ones are in daycare, homeschooling, and preschools before they ever begin kindergarten – so much so that it astounds us all what some preschool-aged children can and do learn. Language and social skills are now already in place earlier than ever. Science tells us that we learn faster and easier and absorb more than 90 percent of all our learning in the first five years of life. Little children’ s brains are amaz ingly open and growing at a phenomenal and wonderful rate. That is why it is so important to teach our children the way they love to learn – naturally and without pressure. An enriched environment does that: learning to learn, learning to think and learning to manage life. It’ s what we do at Little Z ion Workshop Way Preschool. U niversal preschool, whether at home or in centers, is fast becoming a req uire-

Powhatan’s Jacob Taylor (2) cuts through the Albemarle defense on Oct. 27 at Powhatan High School. Taylor rushed for 172 yards and two touchdowns in the come-from-behind win for the Indians.

Taylor, defense lead Indians in comeback win By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Through the first two quarters of the final home game of the season for the Powhatan Indians, the defense had held the Albemarle offense to just one touchdown on one big play. By and large, they held the Patriots offensive unit, which had scored more than 30 points in each of its last four games, in check.

The play of the defense allowed the Indians offense to get into a groove and score 28 straight points to come from behind in a 28-20 win over the Patriots on Oct. 27. “I’m really proud for our seniors on senior night to leave this field as a victor,” coach Jim Woodson said. “We came through when we needed to. Defensively, we did a really good job. We contained them and did a better job of tackling.” Albemarle scored twice in the first

half, one on a Na’il Arnold fumble return for a score and a 70-yard burst from J’Quan Anderson. But, the tide turned toward the Indians in the second half. On its second drive of the second half, Albemarle faced a fourth-and-three and Anderson threw an interception to Powhatan’s Cameron Arnold. During the short run back after the turnover, Anderson was hurt along the sidelines and came out of the game and

would not return. After an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Patriots during the aftermath of the Anderson injury, coupled with a facemask on the Patriots on the first play of the next Powhatan drive, the momentum continued to swing toward the Indians as they faced a short field. On 2nd and 17 following a Powhatan penalty, Dowdy threw a dart to Gabe Satterwhite for a 25-yard score and a 14-7 see INDIANS, pg. 3B}

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Annie Kelly (21) sends a shot over the net against Amelia Academy. Kelly was one of four seniors honored.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot volleyball closed out the 2017 season against Amelia Academy on Oct. 26, but the game itself was overshadowed by the ceremony just prior to the contest. The team and their fans bid farewell to their five seniors in a ceremony just before they played their final game. Amy Bonds was escorted by her parents, Kelly and Lori Bonds. Coach Janae Robinson described Bonds as the “mom” of the team: “She made sure everyone was doing what they had to do, no matter what.” Bonds has applied to the University of Virginia, James Madison University, University

of South Carolina, and Ole Miss, just to name a few. Anna Gestwick was escorted by her parents, Paul and Michelle Gestwick. Robinson praised Gestwick for her mentality: “Anna never quits. She always has that can-do attitude and will do whatever it takes.” Gestwick has applied to Virginia Tech, the Air Force Academy, and the Colorado School of Mines. Kate Hatfield was escorted by her parents, Michael and Amanda Hatfield. Robinson described Hatfield as “the definition of an athlete and a competitor. She’s always trying to win, no matter what.” Hatfield has applied and been accepted to the University of Alabama, where see KNIGHTS, pg. 2B}

WHAT THEY DID:

From Oct. 16 through Oct. 21, the Powhatan Indians field hockey defense had as solid a week as any it has had this season.

Charlottesville, Louisa and Western Albemarle. The Indians were 2-1 in those three games, only losing in a shootout to the Black

Knights. Against the Lions and Warriors, Powhatan outscored those teams 9-0. Snyder, Kylee Maiolo, Katie Corbitt and the rest of the Indians defensive unit will be an undeniable strength in the playoffs.

Nee, Indians turn tables on Monticello in 3-0 win By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

When Powhatan’s girls volleyball team paid a visit to Monticello earlier this season, the Mustangs swept the Indians in three sets. On senior night on Oct. 26 at Powhatan High School, the Indians paid tribute to lone senior Abby Nee and paid the Mustangs back with a 25-19, 25-14, 25-22 sweep of their own. “I feel great about this entire week,” coach Amber Foos said. “That’s really good for us as we roll into regionals. For us to come out and play the way they did, it was awesome.” After honoring Nee in the pre-game, the Indians set the tone early in set one against Monticello. Kills by Sierra Ellison, Jordan Davis and Nee highlighted an early 9-4 run by Powhatan to give the team a bit of a cushion over the Mustangs. That cushion remained for much of the first set, with Monticello only making some gains in the later

part of the set, coming within four points of Powhatan at its closest point. Back-to-back unforced errors by Monticello sealed the first set 25-19 for Powhatan. In the second, Powhatan continued to have the hot hand in the set, jumping out to a 13-2 lead, which was highlighted by two aces from Ellison. Ellison ended the match with 10 kills, nine digs and three aces for the Indians. Monticello couldn’t regain its footing against that wide of a gap, only coming within six points of the Indians at 20-14 before Powhatan went on a 5-0 run to end the set at 25-14. The third was a much closer encounter, as Monticello took its first lead of the game at the 2-1 mark and held it until an unforced Mustangs error tied the set 5-5. After that tie point, the teams would tie or take a small lead 18 times. The most intense stretch came from after Monticello tied the set at 14-14 and the next 11 points were either tied

scores or one-point leads by either team. It wasn’t until an error by the Mustangs gave Powhatan a 20-19 lead that the trading back-andforth ceased and the Indians grabbed hold of the set, and the game, permanently. Two errors by the Mustangs, a point from Ellison, an ace from Maddie Turner and a final kill from Lauren Llewellyn put the nail in the game at 25-22. Foos noted that the comeback in the third set was an especially poignant moment for the Indians in the win. “That last set, we needed to come from behind,” she said. “We were up on all the other ones, but for them to come from behind and finish, that was really good.” Rachel Mueller had 13 digs and two kills for Powhatan, while Nee had 26 assists, 11 digs and four kills in her last regular season home game. “It was bittersweet,” Nee said of her senior night. “We played really well. We were definitely

Robinson spoke about the lasting impact this group of seniors left on those who will return to the team next year: “The impact they left was going hard, no matter what. If we’re down, they pick the whole team up. I think they left that mark where everyone has a place on the team. Everyone felt included.” Robinson also noted how the seniors helped her acclimate in her first season at Blessed Sacrament: “As a new coach, you have to start over.

The girls had that spirit where no matter what I told them, no matter what kind of practice we had, they never gave up. As a coach I learned that volleyball isn’t everyone’s first sport, but they’re athletes through and through. This is a small school, so they all stick together and never quit. You try to have that with every single girl.” The night was successful in honoring the remarkable group of young women and their contributions to BSH vol-

stronger than last time we played (Monticello).” Foos said that the impact of a player such as Nee to the Indians program cannot be understated. “She’s been a huge component of the program,” she said. “She’s out of her element this season as a setter. But, at the same time, she has showed her strength as a utility player and how she stepped up in a position

that she was willing to take even though she’d never played it before and has done a good job in it for the most part. It has showed that she’s not a professional setter, or has been doing it for a long time, but her court presence and her power that she contributed her first three years as a hitter is definitely going to be missed. I have some hard hitting girls, but no one that hits as hard as she

does. She’s a captain. She’s definitely going to be missed.” The Indians began Region 4B play on Oct. 31 as they hosted the regional opener against Eastern View. If Powhatan advanced past the Cyclones, they would travel for the next game in the regional tournament on Thursday against an opponent and at a time that was to be determined.

Powhatan’s Gabe Satterwhite (11) had six catches for 81 yards and a touchdown in the 28-20 win over the Patriots on Oct. 27. Satterwhite scored the first touchdown of the game on a slant pass from Dowdy.

game. “When (Anderson) got out of the game, that made a lot of difference,” Woodson said. “That helped us a lot to be able to get the ball back. (Anderson) is just an unbelievable athlete. He’s quick and hard to tackle. When he got out of the game, it helped us momentum wise.” Daquandre Taylor entered the game at quarterback for the Patriots, but the offense sputtered against the Indians defense. Powhatan took just three plays after a punt return from Jared Somerville took the ball to the Albemarle 12 yard line for Jacob Taylor to score his first of the night to tie the game. “He did a real good job on JV, this is his first year on varsity,” Woodson said of Taylor. “It’s night and day. We told him to just go. He was a little more aggressive and he was lowering his pads. If you keep going at them and punishing them, they’re less likely to tackle you.

That really helped us out as the game went on.” The Patriots went three-and-out again and Powhatan marched right down the field and Taylor scored his second of the night to give the Indians a 21-14 lead. Taylor rushed 31 times for 172 yards and two touchdowns. Dowdy was 13 of 23 for 111 yards and one touchdown to Satterwhite, who had 81 receiving yards. Dowdy also had one rushing touchdown. Powhatan scored its fourth touchdown in a row on their next drive to make it 28-14 on a two-yard run by Dowdy. Albemarle kept it close as the offense broke out on their ensuing drive. Taylor hit Stephen Yoder and Austin Hawk for long passes and ran for a first down himself to put the Patriots in scoring position. Taylor then found Joshua Beidler all alone in the Powhatan secondary for a 35-yard touchdown. The conversion failed and it was 28-20. Powhatan recovered the onside kick and was able to run out the clock,

though now without several personal foul flags on both teams, which was a theme throughout the contest. Prior to the game the Indians honored several seniors who played their last home game: Dowdy, Satterwhite, Ben Nowacki, Bryce Burmaster, Ryan Hall, Jarrett Groves, Jacob Beil, Jett Taylor, Tyler Steinruck, Hunter Kingery, Khuram Shahzad, Tyler Holswade and Ryan Mahone. Woodson said it a great night for his seniors in the come-from-behind victory. “They battled hard,” he said. “It’s been a tough year for all of them. For them to battle back through everything we’ve been through…the new players coming in, inexperienced guys at new positions…I’m so happy they get to feel this victory. They fought hard and it was wellearned. A lot of times, we get in our own way so much, but tonight we did a much better job.” Powhatan will travel to Orange for the final game of the regular season on Nov. 3.
