votes every year, braved the weather on Election Day to exercise her constitutional right to vote. She said people struggled too hard for her right to vote for her not to exercise it.

“It makes me feel good. Even if my candidate doesn’t win, I helped in some way. Maybe my candidate

will win someday down the line,” she said on Nov. 7 after casting her ballot.

Britton added that she did find some of the candidates’ commercials too negative but she just “cut them off.”

Linda Guinn of Powhatan agreed, saying the media coverage was very antagonistic so she did her

own research to learn more about the candidates' platforms.

“Virginia is a pivotal state. All the national attention was on Virginia the whole election, but especially the gubernatorial race,” she said.

Rebekka Morgan, 25, of Powhatan said she has never voted before and she felt like it was finally time to start while she is still young.

Her main driver, she said, was to see more democrats in office.

The election itself went smoothly for the most part in Powhatan with only a few hiccups, Alexander said. The biggest change for this election was adjusting to two new precincts, St Luke’s Episcopal Church in District 1 and Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Catholic School in District 3, but that transition was great, she said.

“We got good reviews from people regarding the new precincts. Of course with any change there comes confusion, but overall the voters adapted to the change very well. A few headed to their old precinct instead of the new precincts. They

POWHATAN – Flat Rock Elementary School’s first-graders recently paid tribute to the men and women who keep Powhatan and Virginia safe.

The first-graders put on a program thanking first responders complete with special tributes to each agency and a musical performance to top it off. The program was attended by representatives from the Powhatan County Sheriff’s Office, Powhatan County Fire and Rescue, Powhatan County Emergency 911 Communications, Virginia State Police, and Virginia Capitol Police.

Each first grade class learned about the different agencies and what they do, Cerise Estep, Flat Rock PTO member. It started as an opportunity to thank the local heroes see HONORS, pg. 3

POWHATAN – When Powhatan County Commonwealth’s Attorney Richard “Dickie” Cox used to face off against attorney Gretchen Brown in court, he knew he needed to bring his A game.

“Gretchen was an attorney that I knew when I had a case with her and there was a hole in my case, I knew she would pick it up,” he said. “I always dreaded when I had that weak case that Gretchen would be the lawyer on the other side.”

Since she had a thriving private practice in Powhatan County and a great reputation, Cox was surprised when Brown expressed interest in the role of assistant commonwealth’s attorney in his office after the funding to make the position fulltime was approved by the board of supervisors. He said he felt like he had

won the lottery when she applied.

“I knew her legal skills.

I knew her social values. I knew she would be just a fantastic fit. How could I get something better?” he said.

Brown of Powhatan has been in her new role since Sept. 1, replacing Tara Hatcher, who was part-time and didn’t want to go full-time.

In a way, joining the Powhatan Commonwealth’s Attorney's Office is like coming full circle in her career. After having a see BROWN, pg. 2

OWHATAN – A little more than half of Powhatan County’s registered voters turned out to cast their ballots on a cold and rainy Election Day last week.

About 55 percent, or 11,524 out of 20,936 registered voters, cast a ballot in the election that chose Virginia’s new governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, and House of Delegates member for the 65th district.

Although the turnout on Tuesday, Nov. 7 was higher than the same races in November 2013, which saw a 53.9 percent turnout, director of elections Karen Alexander said it was still lower than she was expecting.

“It was a steady turnout but not as high as I anticipated, and I believe the weather had a lot to do with that,” she said on Nov. 8. “We usually get an after work rush that we didn’t get yesterday because the rain, the wind and the cold were more severe than expected.”

Until that point, many precincts were reporting an excellent turnout.

Kaylee Green, chief officer of elections at the Manakin precinct, said a little before 3 p.m. that the turnout there was more than 50 percent so far, which was better than she was expecting considering the weather.

“I think it had the opposite effect where people wanted to beat the rain,” she said. Manakin ended up being the precinct with the highest voter turnout with 63.9 percent.

Leading up to Election Day, Alexander said that people seemed more passionate about this election than she expected and she believes “it was because it became so contentious between the candidates. People wanted to vote because of that or in spite of that.”

private practice with her cousin for less than a year straight out of law school, Brown said they both felt they needed more seasoning and sought state positions.

In 2002, Brown was hired as an assistant commonwealth’s attorney in the City of Lynchburg, where she worked for eight years before returning to private practice.

While she was enjoying her work in the private sector, Brown said she wanted to focus on criminal trial work and she was especially attracted to the fact the new role would focus primarily on Powhatan’s Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.

Working with youth and families has long been a passion for her, she said.

“I think the juvenile court has within it the ability to effectuate real change in people’s lives.

By the time a youth matriculates up into the adult court system, adult courts are more focused on punishment and restitution for victims and community safety,” she said. “Whereas in the juvenile court, you are also supposed to address rehabilitation for the juveniles.”

Cox said Brown has taken some of the pressure off of him and Rob Cerullo, deputy commonwealth’s attorney, by being eager to take on so many of the juvenile and domestic relations court cases. She takes them on, and because his office practices vertical prosecution, she keeps those cases through the circuit court and even the appellate court levels if necessary.

“It’s not like I was burdened before, but it is like a weight being lifted off of my shoulders knowing that I have her in that position and that position is covered and is not something I have to worry about,” he said.

Having a third attorney who can follow those cases through the process was one of Cox’s key ar-

scam in the 1900 block of Judes Ferry Road.

“You have a victim of a crime. They don’t want to be passed around from one prosecutor to another.

You get that relationship.

You form a bond with the victim throughout the course of a crime, especially some of the higher profile, more egregious type of offenses,” Cox said. “Comforting the victim is a big deal and having Gretchen in that position is good because she is certainly good at that. She makes them feel honestly that she cares and we care about that case. I think that makes a huge difference.”

Wendy McClellan, witness/victim program coordinator with the sheriff’s office, said she has noticed that passion and concern for victims in Brown.

“A lot of times with the domestic cases, they don’t just need help with an assault charge. There are other things that come into play. They might need legal help with protective orders or with child custody or with housing. I am not saying she is handling all of those problems, but she is helping them and trying to give them guidance and resources that they can reach out to for help,” McClellan said.

At the same time, Cox noted that Brown’s passion isn’t to put every perpetrator of a crime in jail.

Instead, she looks for the best possible result.

“She is always looking for a resolution that is going to, many times, benefit the defendant as well as the commonwealth,” he said. “She has a great perspective on who needs to be punished and who needs to be helped or rehabilitated.”

Sliding right back in A little more than two months into the job, Brown said she is “sliding right back in” to the flow of a commonwealth’s attorney’s office. She said

Since she regularly practiced in front of the judges seated here, it has been good that she hasn’t needed to learn a new bench, she said.

After seven years working in private practices that served the Powhatan community, she said she feels like she is continuing to serve the community wearing a different hat.

“Because I have lived here so long, I know a lot of people in the community and have developed relationships with folks here already. I feel like I have a good understanding of what the community’s values are and what values are important to the community because I practiced here before for the entire seven plus years I have been in private practice,” she said. “Between practicing here and living here I know the community very well already.”

After graduating from Radford University with a Bachelor of Science in English and minor in criminal justice, Brown attended the T.C. Williams School of Law at the University of Richmond, where she graduated in May 2001 and took the bar exam a few months later.

While she and her cousin found success with the private practice they set up later that year, she said they both realized it would be a wise move to “get more mentorship and guidance,” which is when she applied for the job in Lynchburg.

In addition to her regular duties with that office, Brown was the youth community court prosecutor, which involved members of the community making a ruling for juveniles who chose the community court program.

The theory was to make the youth interact with members of the commu-

in the community but the first-grade teachers and PTO volunteers worked to make it special.

“It quickly snowballed into this awesome event where we got to invite them all here and thank them in person,” she said.

The students and their teachers made signs for each agency and invited them up to the stage to be recognized while students read short papers they wrote about what those first responders do, ranging from law enforcement catching people who speed to firefighters rescuing cats from trees.

Local 911 dispatcher Rebekah Mann said she appreciated the school putting on the program and the hard work the children put into learning about the different aspects of each agency and a little bit about what they do.

were concerned about which church St. Luke’s was,” she said.

Andrew Jones, chief officer of elections at the Subletts precinct, said the new location at St. Luke’s worked out great because the building has both heating and air conditioning and good parking. A few people might have had to figure out which church was the new precinct, but overall he said he got the feeling people were well informed about the change. He added he expects that will go even better for the next election now that people know where to go.

Frank Flannagan, chief officer of elections at the Bethesda precinct, said the transition to using the library at Blessed Sacrament was awesome, with a good flow of people coming through, a welcoming attitude from the school and clear markings showing the precinct had only moved across the street from the old location at Bethesda Church of God. “We had a couple people go across the street out of pure habit but we put signs up across the street letting them know it moved,” he said.

Alexander added that the Powhatan County Board of Supervisors approved funding to upgrade supplies and equipment for her office, including voting cages and special signage, and she thought it brought a more professional look to the process.

Supervisor Carson Tucker, who represents District 5, said after voting at the Pineville precinct that he was impressed with how seamless the process was to cast his ballot. He noted “how efficient and effective the process was not only for this election but the last election.”

Tucker praised Alexander for

forcement,” Cross said.

Powhatan Detective Arthur “Rudy” Gregory appreciated that the school is teaching children at an early age that when they are in trouble they can reach out to first responders and who would help them in different situations.

“It really makes us feel very special and wanted that the community invites us out here and puts on this program. We always enjoy the smiling faces,” he said.

“It is an honor for each agency to be singled out and recognized. We are all in it together but we all have different jobs to do and it is exciting to have that recognized.”

Mann also pointed out the wonderful effort the staff and students put into a performance of “God Bless America,” which they both sang and signed. Estep said that the song was the brain child of first grade teacher Liz McCrory. Music teachers Thomas Beekman and

In Powhatan, Fairfax received 26.03 percent while Vogel received 73.83 percent of the vote.

In the statewide race for attorney general of Virginia, democrat Mark R. Herring was re-elected with 53.28 percent of the vote over republican John D. Adams, who received 46.63 percent.

In Powhatan, Herring earned 26.31 percent of the vote while Adams received 73.64 percent.

The final race on the ballot was for Virginia’s House of Delegates, 65th District, which saw democrat Francis M. Stevens running against incumbent R. Lee Ware Jr., republican. Ware was re-elected with 64.05 percent of the vote compared to Stevens with 35.82 percent.

Ware ran unopposed in 2015, but when he ran against democrat William Edward Quarles Jr. in 2013, Ware won with 67.6 percent of the vote over the challenger’s 32.1 percent.

Ware said on Nov. 8 that he considers public office a sacred trust and he was once again humbled that so many voters in the 65th District put their confidence in him again to serve in the House of Delegates.

“I renew and enlarge upon my longstanding pledge to represent everyone's interests in the General Assembly, to contribute to local officials' labors to make our community a pleasant, prosperous, and safe place to live and thrive, and to cooperate with my fellow legislators for the good of our Commonwealth. I thank the voters for this privilege,” he said.

Alexander said Powhatan only had five outstanding provisional ballots that her office could not count until two individuals that voted provisional provided an ID. She said she was expecting all of the results from the races to be made official on the afternoon of Nov. 13 after press time.

Chris Thomas reinforced the music and signing while the students were in music class for the last few weeks, Estep said.

“The first grade teachers are amazing here. Their heart and dedication to this program was really amazing to witness in the classroom, and I feel blessed to have been part of it,” she said.

The program ended with a small reception for the first responders.

Local children show importance of respect

By Laura McFarland News Editor

R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Find out what it means to me.

When this writer was growing up, there were certain expectations my mom had of my sisters and me.

For as long as I can remember, the expectation was that I would address adults as ma’am and sir. Saying please and thank you was not an option, it was a requirement. Using the appropriate language and voice level for certain situations was another lesson that was drilled into me.

And at the heart of it all was the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would have them treat you.

As I grew older, I noticed that with some of my friends those lessons weren’t taught as stringently, if at all. Have you ever seen other children misbehave and then heard your own parent say something along the lines of, “If that were my child …?” You know you didn’t do anything wrong but there was still an implicit warning in that statement.

What first brought this to mind was covering a few events in Powhatan on Halloween night. As I visited the porches of several Scottville residents and then walked between the cars at the trunk-or-treat at the Powhatan Fairgrounds and watched people hand out

candy to some truly cute superheroes, princesses, bandits, animals, monsters and more, I was definitely excited to hear so many of the children offering appreciation. Or, in the case of many of the younger children, it was great to hear parents prompting them not to forget to say “Thank you.”

The topic still was on my mind when I covered a special program presented by Flat Rock Elementary School on Nov. 3. Their first grade students put on an excellent program showing their appreciation for first responders who serve our community. They invited law enforcement, fire and rescue, and 911 emergency communications dispatchers and highlighted the individual work of each agency.

Members of the different agencies that were represented at the program all expressed how wonderful they thought it was and how much they appreciated the respect and appreciation shown by the children.

That same level of respect was shown to veterans attending the special musical program Powhatan Elementary School puts on each year for Veterans Day. The students who participate in the program are always amazingly respectful to the visitors and this year was no exception. That goes for both the fifth-graders who performed and the other students in attendance.

After more than three years of attending Powhatan

Honoring those forged in fire

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

I suppose everyone has that personal list of heroes, or people who have impacted our lives, or left a lasting impression on the very fiber that make up who we are.

When Veterans Day rolls around each year, I think of many of those heroes, all of them worthy of recognition, each providing their own slice of patriotism or humanity that lives on despite their absence.

I think of the millions of men and women who have served, sacrificed, and committed for their nation. It’s hard not to feel a certain amount of pride when we consider the heroes who wore uniforms and made unselfish decisions to defend or protect our country. Their motivation and dedication are noble, and all Americans are somehow made better through their sacrifices.

Any number of those veterans would warrant and deserve special recognition. Specifically, I think of my father who served as a lieutenant in the U.S. Army during World War II, ending up in a bitter struggle in the Philippines.

He was one of the lucky ones who came home physically unmarked, but forever changed by his experience in those steamy jungles.

But, the story of Pat Tillman never gets old, and never stops inspiring the people who hear it.

Tillman was an All-American safety who earned a generous NFL contract with the Arizona Cardinals. The hard-hitting defensive stalwart made a name for himself in the league, often described as one of the most intense, dedicated players in the league.

Even early, people realized there was something different about Pat, his irreverence toward the traditional and his insistence to do things his way. Teammates described a guy that many labeled a jock as a deep thinker whose interests ventured far beyond the football field.

That quirky loyalty was clearly distributed when Tillman was offered a multi-million contract to switch teams early in his career, but made what he considered an easy decision to remain with the Cardinals.

Friends and family said Tillman was deeply affected by the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and football eventually seemed trivial in the face of a world where terror and death seemed all too

frequent, and a nation he loved seemed under attack.

In 2002, Pat and his brother Kevin, also the recipient of a professional baseball contract, gave it all up and joined the Army, eventually winding up in Afghanistan at the beginning of what would become America’s longest running war.

He made it clear to Army officials he had not joined to become part of a public relations campaign, or as a poster boy for recruitment.

Tilllman joined to fight the enemy.

He led his band of Rangers on a reconnaissance mission in 2004, attempting to root out enemy combatants in a remote area of Afghaistan. During the mission, Tillman was hit by friendly fire and died immediately on the battlefield.

For weeks following his death, Army officials continued to tell his family and the American public that Tillman was killed by enemy fire. The controversy somehow became the focus of Tillman’s death, and his heroic service was lost in the back and forth of Army press releases and a family looking for answers.

The truth finally emerged regarding Tillman’s senseless and untimely death and the disgraceful manner in which it was handled.

But, those facts could not discount Tillman’s bravery, commitment or sacrifice or his willingness to give up fame and fortune to fight for his country. Few have sacrificed more than the soft-spoken safety who gave all of it up for a higher calling.

But, many have made the same sacrifice fighting on foreign soil for values we often take for granted, and Veterans Day is a moment when a nation stops to remember and offer thanks to heroes like Tillman and the many others who served and sacrificed.

It’s also a day to mark the men and women who place personal safety and security aside to protect and serve, ensuring the values we hold so dear to our hearts.

And, somehow, people like Tillman, who make what seem like extraordinary sacrifices, ignore personal wealth and gain and opt for a uniform, offer inspiration for all of us.

But, the ones who served, the ones who died hold a special place in our nation’s collective list of heroes, and Pat Tilllman’s place on that tally is forged in bravery and dedication, no different from the millions we honor on this solemn day.

events, many of them centered around children, the few instances mentioned above were definitely not the only demonstrations of respect shown by our local youth I have witnessed. I have been pleasantly surprised over the years at how often I noticed it.

If anything, what made these wonderful examples stand out to me now even more was that they fell in the midst of what I can only describe as a deluge of negativity, incivility and disrespect leading up to the General Election. In that instance, many adults certainly could have benefited from a refresher course on the lessons we try to instill in others about how we should treat people.

Thanks to Aretha Franklin, we all know how to spell respect, but, alas, we don’t always know how to show it. And, unfortunately, while we are often all too ready to criticize when things are going wrong, we sometimes forget to give proper attention when we are getting things right.

So, after weeks of being bombarded with that negativity, I am happy to set it aside for a moment and pay my respect to some of Powhatan’s youngest residents for their outstanding behavior and good character.

Keep up the good work.

Powhatan field hockey goalie Gatlin Snyder (00) faced an unfamiliar offensive onslaught in the Virginia High School League Class 4 quarterfinal on Nov. 7 at River City Sportsplex.

Indians field hockey falls 4-0 in Class 4 quarters

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

A

s the Powhatan Indians field hockey team took to the field at River City Sportsplex on Nov. 7, it was a team that had allowed just nine goals throughout the entire season.

The defense, led by goalie Gatlin Snyder, was a rock solid unit that withstood offensive onslaughts from Lafayette and Warhill en route to the Class 4, Region B title.

But, in the state quarterfinals, the de-

fense faltered to an aggressive Smithfield attack as the Indians season came to an end in a 4-0 final.

“It was definitely not our best game of the season,” coach Steph Brooks wrote in an email. “But, Smithfield came to play and I have to give them credit for that. They basically did what we have done or tried to do all year—come out and score quick. It caught us off guard. We had not been scored on since September and that had a huge impact. We were never able to regain our composure and put up a fight.”

The Packers’ alpha strike was precise

and efficient.

Off the first corner of the game, Smithfield moved the ball in front of the Indians goal and scored a goal in just the third minute of play.

Just four minutes later, after another corner for the Packers, a scramble in front of the goal was exploited by Smithfield and it resulted in another goal.

Later in the first half, Smithfield had a few players get behind the defense of the Indians and beat Snyder again to make it 3-0.

While the Packers were on the offen-

sive, the Indians tried to get something going on their end.

Powhatan earned its first corner shortly after the third goal was scored and had two chances on net but was unsuccessful in converting.

Another aspect working against the Indians in its comeback effort was the dreary weather conditions.

From the start of the game, it was cold, windy and it was a constant drizzle, increasing at times to a full-on downpour.

“The weather was horrible,” Brooks see INDIANS, pg. 3B

Knights season comes to an end in VISAA semis

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s football team hadn’t made the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association (VISAA) playoffs since 2014, according to coach Chuck Robinson.

The Knights broke that skid this season, but had to make the long trek to Roanoke Catholic on Nov. 10 for the semifinal game in the VISAA tournament.

As was the case in the last meeting between the two teams, the Celtics came FILE PHOTO BY ANJIE KAY away with the win in a 61-6 final against Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Kemper Roudabush (12) and Chris Gupton Blessed Sacrament Huguenot.

(4), seen here during the Nov. 3 game against Richmond Christian, com“We had a tough opponent,” Robinbined for the lone touchdown in the 61-6 loss the Knights suffered in the son said. “We had just played out there, VISAA semifinals against Roanoke Catholic on Nov. 10. so making the trip out there again wasn’t

ideal, especially since they had a bye week and essentially had two weeks to prepare and we had a tough game against Richmond Christian. Overall, we played admirably at the start, but with our depth, we wore down after that.”

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s lone touchdown of the day came in the fourth quarter when Chris Gupton scored from 2 yards out on a throw from Kemper Roudabush.

The Knights were successful through the air, as Roudabush and Tyler Lockhart combined for 251 yards passing.

Lockhart was 15-of-26 for 102 yards, while Roudabush was 10-of-16 for 149.

Gupton was the most popular receiving target, catching eight passes for 107 see KNIGHTS, pg. 4B

Powhatan had six athletes sign their National Letters of Intent at Powhatan High School on Nov. 8. (L to R) Mason Basdikis, Sami Pleasants, Tori Gilbert, Harlan Menger, Taylor Dickerson, Teri Jackson.

Powhatan athletes sign National Letters of Intent

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

O

ver the course of two days at Powhatan High School, seven total athletes put pen to paper and solidified their post-Powhatan plans with their National Letters of Intent.

On Nov. 8, five Powhatan softball players and one Powhatan lacrosse player signed to play athletics in college.

Mason Basdikis, Sami Pleasants, Tori Gilbert, Taylor Dickerson and Teri Jackson continued the Powhatan softball tradition of excellence and playing at the next level of competition.

Basdikis signed with Longwood University, Gilbert signed with the University of Virginia, Pleasants and Jackson will be going to Richard Bland College and Dickerson will be heading to Concord University.

Basdikis, the reigning region player of the year, has been committed to be a Lancer for a while, so her signing was the confirmation of her plans.

She said that that the Lancers coach, Kathy Riley, was a big reason why she wanted to play for Longwood.

“I love Coach Riley,” Basdikis said.

“I was attracted to how she coached. I liked how close it was to home. I wanted to stay near my family.”

Basdikis has been a dual-threat in the field for the Indians, being effective at shortstop as well as in the pitching circle. In the leadoff spot, she utilizes her speed and her hitting ability to get on base early and often to get the Indians off to a good start.

She will join a Longwood team that has been to four NCAA Regionals overall, including three in a row from 201517.

The Lancers have also qualified for the NCAA Regional Championship game the past two seasons. Longwood fell 3-0 to Tennessee in the 2017 final.

“I hope that I can compete with people who are already there,” Basdikis said. “So that we can all play together and grow more as people as we play, not only through the sport. I think that’ll help me later on in life.”

Gilbert had verbally committed to join Basdikis at Longwood, but rescinded that commitment to chase her dream and play for the Cavaliers.

“I’m so excited for my next step,” she said. “(I’m excited about) the school itself and the quality of the education I’ll receive. I’m really excited to play in the ACC and a competitive conference.”

Gilbert is an outfielder for the Indians who is a two-time All-State, AllRegion and All-Conference selection.

In 2016, Gilbert cleared the bases with a one-out triple to boost the Indians to the Region 4A East crown with a walk-off win over King George.

“I just think it’s great that what I learned from (coach Marie) Crump here

and I get to carry that into a great school at UVA,” she said.

Coach Joanna Hardin helms the Cavaliers softball program that went 22-32 overall last year.

Virginia was riding a seven-game winning streak prior to losing three of its last four games, including a 16-0 loss to Florida State in the ACC tournament.

Gilbert, Basdikis and Sami Pleasants were all first team All-State selections one season ago.

Pleasants and Teri Jackson will both head to Richard Bland College in Petersburg to play softball.

The pair said that it wasn’t planned that they’d both play for the Statesmen, but are happy it worked out that way.

“The coaches and the people were really nice,” Pleasants said. “The campus is really nice too.”

“It’s close to home, so we’ll be able to come and see our families whenever we want,” Jackson said. “I think it’s great that Sami and I get to play together for another two years.”

Pleasants said that she plans to study Athletic Training at Richard Bland, while Jackson plans to study Computer Science.

Richard Bland was 20-20 in 2016, scoring 239 runs and batting .313. Pleasants and Jackson, both accomplished hitters at the plate, will look to improve upon both of those statistical categories for the Statesmen.

Richard Bland’s season ended in the Region X Conference tournament with a 6-4 loss to Florence-Darlington Technical College.

The final Indians softball player to sign is also the newest member of the team.

Taylor Dickerson signed to attend Concord University and is a transfer from Jefferson District rival Louisa.

Dickerson said that she was committed to Lynchburg, but Concord saw her at a tournament and made a push to get to her become a Mountain Lion.

“It was definitely a last-minute thing,” Dickerson said. “I had heard of them, but hadn’t really looked into them that much. So, I went on a visit and they offered me and it went from there.”

Concord University is located in Athens, W.V. and are a part of the Mountain East Conference with teams such a UVA-Wise, Fairmont State, West Virginia State and Charleston, to name a few.

Dickerson said that Concord being a Division II school as opposed to the Division III program that Lynchburg is was one large factor in choosing the Mountain Lions.

“It was still a small environment that I loved out of both,” she said. “It seemed like the better opportunity.”

Dickerson said she hopes to study biology with aspirations to become a veterinarian.

Concord’s softball team was 30-28 last year and was 17-13 in the Mountain

East.

The Mountain Lions’ season ended on May 6 in a 3-2 loss to Shepherd in the MEC tournament.

Dickerson was a big part of the offense for the Lions last season as they won the Conference 19 title.

Louisa played Powhatan prior to the conference tournaments, with the Indians winning 4-3.

Dickerson was a big part of a Louisa comeback attempt as she tripled home a run in the top of the seventh inning and scored the third run for the Lions.

Rivalry aside, Dickerson hopes to become a part of the Powhatan softball legacy this season.

“I want a perfect defensive average and I want to boost my batting average from last season,” she said.

The last signee on Nov. 8 was the first lacrosse athlete to play for Powhatan High School to sign an NLI to compete in college.

Harlan Menger signed to play at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD).

“It took a long time to get an athletic scholarship, so I’m really proud of it,” he said. “The city of Savannah, I really love the site of it. The academics are great. I’m a graphic designer myself, so I’m really going for the academics.”

Menger said that there were other schools in play, but his goal was always to head to SCAD. SCAD competes in the NAIA and The Sun Conference. The Bees lacrosse team was 6-5 last season.

Menger, a long stick midfielder for the Indians, said it meant a lot to him to be the first athlete to sign since Powhatan’s lacrosse program joined VHSL competition.

“It definitely put something in my heart that I’m the first scholarship player coming from Powhatan for lacrosse,” he said. “I’m proud of it and I hope my

coaches are too.”

On Nov. 9, Powhatan added another name to its athletic scholarship ranks as senior wrestler Collin Gerardi signed to wrestle at Virginia Tech.

“It feels great,” he said. “I’m excited. I’m glad. It was a good, long process and I’m happy that I got it done.”

The length of the process was about finding the right fit, Gerardi said.

“It was about finding where I felt most comfortable and what felt like home,” he said. “At the end of the day, I felt like Virginia Tech was where I wanted to be.”

Gerardi is a three-time state champion for the Indians. In February, he pinned Sean Crumbliss of FreedomSouth Riding in 5:19 to capture his third state title in a row.

Tony Robie is a first-year head coach for the Hokies and Gerardi was one of four members of Robie’s inaugural recruiting class.

Virginia Tech’s wrestling team is currently ranked No. 9 in the nation and recently had four wrestlers win titles at the Journeyman Collegiate Classic.

Gerardi said that the people at Virginia Tech were really what put it over the other schools he was considering, such as Cornell, North Carolina and Tennessee-Chattanooga.

“Every time I went up there, I had a real connection with the coaches,” he said. “The way the teammates bonded, they made me feel at home. It made me feel great.”

The relative close proximity of Virginia Tech to Powhatan also played into Gerardi’s decision.

Coming into year four, Gerardi believes he’s got what it takes to make it four for four.

“It’s going to be a great season,” he said.

Gerardi’s quest for his fourth state title begins on Dec. 1 at Glen Allen.

Roundup: Fanz, BSH both compete in state meets

By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

Powhatan’s Lindsey Fanz has run all four seasons on the Indians cross country team.

And, for the past three seasons, Fanz has qualified for the Virginia High School league’s state meet.

On Nov.10, Fanz made it four out of four seasons when she competed at the Class 4 state meet at the Great Meadow course in The Plains, Va. Fanz completed the course in 21:03 for 52nd overall. Fanz was just two seconds behind 51st place Annabel Schepker of Midlothian.

Of the Region B teams and individuals that competed in the state meet, Fanz was 13th best out of those runners.

“We’re very proud of Lindsey for her strong performance at the state meet,” co-head coach Paul Smartschan wrote in an email.

“On a tough, soggy course with high winds, she went out and gave it her all.”

Fanz is one of four seniors on the cross country team and Smartschan wrote she will certainly be missed next season.

“We and her teammates will miss her leadership, grit and speed and can’t thank (the seniors) enough for their hard work and dedication to the cross country program over the last several years,” he wrote. “Though we’re sad it’s over, this season was filled with lots of smiles and personal and team

wrote. “Going into the game, we talked about blocking all of that out and staying focused. The team that was able to do that would have the advantage.

Smithfield did not seem fazed from the start and it made a difference.”

Smithfield would score again at the start of the second half to make it 4-0, which would be the final in the game as Powhatan was unable to get any offensive footing to move forward.

The Packers brought their A-game against the Indians and Brooks wrote she wasn’t surprised by the skill of Smithfield.

“I knew they were going to be tough,” she wrote.

“You have to be to get to this point in the season and we were in the state quarterfinal game. Going into the game, we talked about blocking all of that out and staying focused. I have told the team all season that anything can happen on any given day. That’s why you play the game. Unfortunately, it was not our day.”

The loss ended the

achievements.”

“Coach Smartschan and I both agree that we’re very lucky to be able to coach such friendly, focused and talented athletes,” co-head coach Bucky Webb wrote in an email. “Like many past seasons, our favorite parts have been seeing our new, younger runners learn and receive encouragement and tips from veterans like Fanz, Caileigh (Dintino), Alexis (Atkinson), and Brooke (Dippold.)”

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot traveled to Woodberry Forest for the Virginia Independent Schools state cross country championships on Nov. 10 and brought five Knights runners to the competition.

On the boys side, Christian Hale was the top finishing runner, finishing 58th with a time of 20:01.

Michael Timmons was 138th with a 21:22, Nick Dawson was 201st with a 22:31 and Josh Decker was 278th with a 24:51.

Jessica Johnson, the lone female runner, was 212th with a time of 32:22.

“I thought we competed,” Knights cross country coach Taylor Lamb said.

“That was my biggest goal, to go up there and compete.

We were going up against schools that were three or four times our size in terms of number of students and we competed. We didn’t finish at the top of the group, but you could tell the kids left it out there.

They competed against a lot of upperclassmen as a team full of freshman and sophomores.”

Lamb said that the course at Woodberry Forest was not an easy one for the Knights to tackle.

“It’s not something you can just go out and do on a whim,” he said. “It was a tough course with a lot of hills. Some of the kids we ran against were top-notch runners. We ran really well.”

Lamb said that the younger runners that are new to the sport, such as Hale, Timmons and Dawson, have really come along in their young cross country careers.

“We have three kids who are new to the sport,” he said. “None of them are cross country runners.

Christian is a track athlete, Nick Dawson is a baseball player and Michael Timmons is a soccer player. We just kept getting better and better. The hardest thing with coaching this team was making them believe they could go out and compete with the best teams in the state. I think the way we ran at states proves that no matter how small our school is, we have the fight to stay with those other schools.”

While the Knights have been a small team all season long and not having enough runners to score as a team, Lamb believes that the performances this season as well as at the state meet, could have a positive effect on the team’s numbers next year.

“As the season progressed, the kids started taking pride in the team itself,” he said. “There were

memorable run by the Indians short of the ultimate goal of a state championship, but Brooks wrote that the season was still very much a success.

“This team has so much to be proud of,” she wrote.

“16-4 is an amazing overall record, not to mention winning the Region 4B tournament and even making it to the state tournament. There are not very many teams that can say they were able to accomplish that. We worked extremely hard in the offseason to improve and put ourselves in the best possible position. The outcome was a season we will never forget and there are so many amazing memories for these girls to cherish.”

Powhatan will graduate a host of seniors from this team and will be looking for the underclassmen to step up into the shoes of the departing seniors who have been the bedrock of the team in its existence.

“I am so thankful for the seniors and the impact they’ve had on this program,” Brooks wrote. “I am honored that I was able to spend the past four years

teaching them the game of field hockey. I am honored that I was able to accomplish so much more than that in the process. We really do have a family atmosphere and I cannot wait to watch every one of them grow into amazing and successful adults.”

Brooks wrote she also hopes the success of this team and the banners that the team has earned this year, along with the growth of the junior varsity team, will continue to increase the popularity of the field hockey team at Powhatan.

“I have always been hopeful that with the success of this program, we would be able to increase the interest in field hockey,” she wrote. “I feel like this season really did help that cause. We had so much support during the region tournament and states. It was amazing to see all of the fans at those games and home field advantage really helped. Caryn Rehme and I work very hard talking about the sport and sharing our passion for it. I’m excited about what is to come for Powhatan field hockey.”

some jokes between some other athletic teams and all that. The kids started taking pride in what they were doing. Some people were joking about coming out to run for cross country and the kids were like ‘if you think you can do it, show up and prove it. Otherwise, don’t make jokes.’

That’s why I think the team will grow. We took pride in what we were doing. We took pride that it became this ‘us versus the world’ mentality and we really bought into that.”

While the state cross country meets concluded

on Nov. 10, there was more running to be done in Richmond on Nov. 11.

yards. Anthony Greenhow had five catches for 67 yards, Raymond Avery had four catches for 35 yards and Tyler Purcell had three catches for 25 yards.

The rushing attack, however, was completely held in check by the Celtics defense as the Knights rushed 22 times for 22 yards.

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot was without Colby Johnson on Nov. 10 as the injury he sustained against Richmond Christian kept him out of the playoff game.

“That hurt us in a lot of ways,” Robinson said.

“It takes away one dimension out of our offense. (Johnson) is a viable receiver out of the backfield and a great runner between the tackles.

It takes away some of the shiftiness, that X-factor aspect from our offense that we need. Other guys definitely stepped up and made plays, but it certainly hurts when a guy like that is out.”

Roanoke Catholic’s rushing attack moved at will against the Knights defense, accumulating 501 rushing yards, with each touchdown coming through the ground game as well.

Robinson said that the goal of the season was to reach the state championship game. The Knights fell one game short of that goal.

“From that standpoint, we didn’t quite get where

we wanted to,” he said.

“At the beginning of the season, each player wrote down two individual goals and two team goals.

Before our last game, we read those goals out loud.

We definitely accomplished a great deal of them. We came together as a team in a lot of ways, made some individual goals and made the playoffs for the first time since 2014. We definitely are proud of the season, but really would have liked to have made it to the final game.”

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot will graduate eight seniors this year, all eight of which were huge contributors on both sides of the ball.

While those seniors will certainly be missed, Robinson said he’s pleased with the steps that the underclassmen have taken toward making their names known for the Knights.

“When you look at our junior and sophomore class, we had a lot of guys that stepped up,” he said.

“We have a very talented freshman in Anthony Greenhow out there…

Raymond Avery did a great job. Both of our tight ends, Kemper Roudabush and Jack Lyons, are both all-around players for us. Luke Freudenthal coming back is an absolute difference maker for us. When you look at those eight seniors, you have guys who are playing both sides of the ball and doing great things for the team. And, they’ve been around the team for-

ever. Those are the guys that built the program.

We’re definitely sad about who will be graduating, but it will just be a next man up attitude.”

Robinson said that players like Freudenthal provide a solid core for the team to build around for 2018, but the work will need to be put in over the offseason to build upon that core.

“We’ve got a great nucleus of talent,” he said. “But, as you saw this season, our depth is an issue. We have guys playing on both sides of the ball and in all phases of the game. Sometimes, that leads to you wearing down. We have to make sure our offseason program is top-tier and that our school is continuing to work toward attracting students to the school and maybe we can glean a few football players out of that and continue to increase our numbers.”

Lockhart will return at quarterback for the Knights in 2018, providing stability at that position.

Greenhow, Avery, Roudabush, Lyons and Freudenthal will be key players next season as well.

Other returning players that will make contributions for the Knights next season are Ben Fleet, Ty Long, Michael Kemp, Jack Hatfield and Manny Murillo, just to name a few.

FILE PHOTOS BY ANJIE KAY Billy Fellin may be reached at wfellin@pow- Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Anthony Greenhow (top), Tyler Lockhart hatantoday.com or on (11) and Luke Freudenthal (77) will all be key pieces for the Knights in Twitter at @BillyFellin. 2018.
