Young accident victim meets rescuers By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – When 3-year-old Joel “Jojo” Seabrook was carried into the room in his mother’s arms, it was obvious he was a little overwhelmed by the large number of adults eager to see him. For the people waiting in the room it was a relief to see the little boy up and moving around, even if he shied away from all the attention. Because just a week and a half earlier some of these same people were PHOTO BY LAURA MCFARLAND fighting for his life – a group of On Aug. 17, the sheriff’s office arranged for Jojo Seabrook, 3, and strangers frantically working to free his mom, Shequita Carter, front, to meet some of the people who the little boy from a car he was rescued him from a car he was pinned under.

POWHATAN – When Andrea Weber made the commitment to herself earlier this year to become more involved in local elections, she had no idea it would lead to becoming the newest member of the Powhatan County Electoral Board. On Friday, Aug. 10, Circuit Court Judge Paul Cella administered the oath of office for Weber, who is filling the unexpired term of democrat Jeanie Renger, who recently resigned after having served the county on the board for 20 years. Weber’s term will last until March 1, 2021. Weber and her husband, Rory, moved to Powhatan in 2004 and have two daughters, Ella and Eastan, who both attend Powhatan schools. She currently is the vice president and director of operations for Fidelity National Financial. Weber said she was looking forward to digging into the training manual for the electoral board and learning the process. Because of her professional background in operations, she said she is a workflow process expert who really enjoys solving problems. Since there are no

Keira Kinnier earns statewide Outstanding Elementary Student Award By Laura McFarland News Editor

POWHATAN – An 11-yearold Powhatan County girl was recently honored by the Virginia Association for the Gifted as the recipient of the 2018 Outstanding Elementary Student Award. Keira Kinnier, daughter of Bridget and Frank Kinnier, will be honored with the award at the Virginia Association for the Gifted Fall Seminar, which will take place on Sunday, Nov. 4 in Roanoke. Keira is a rising sixth-grader who attended Flat Rock Elementary School last year, which is where she was recommended for the award by Lori Ann Wolf, her gifted resource teacher. The Virginia Association for the Gifted is comprised of a network of educators, parents, and community members, guided by current research, who work collaboratively to advocate for the needs of gifted and talented learners, according to its website. The association provides resources, information, and profes-

sional development to improve the quality of education in the Commonwealth. The association gives an Outstanding Student Award to two students, one in elementary and one in secondary. In addition to receiving her award at the fall seminar, she will receive a check for $250. When gifted coordinator Patty Haskins sent out an email to Powhatan teachers in January about the award, Wolf said that although she had many deserving students, she immediately thought of Keira. Wolf described Keira as not only bright academically but also very talented. She is a dedicated dancer who participates with the competition dance team at Premiere Dance Studio and dances six days a week. Two years ago she choreographed a dance for an SOL pep rally at Flat Rock. “She took charge completely, which is wonderful for me,” Wolf said. “It is one of her strengths so it was natural for her. She is a natural born leader. She is humble and diplomatic with her ap-

proach.” Keira said she was happy, excited and honored by the initial nomination from Wolf, which she learned about in the spring. To be considered for the award, she had to fill out an application and write a composition describing the activity or interest area for which she was being nominated, including how she became

interested in it, what impact it has had on her, and how it has affected her future plans. Keira had been inspired by a residential gifted program at UVA she learned about from Wolf and which she has attended for the last two summers. Her composition ended up being about how she believes there should be more summer opportunities for gifted students, Wolf said. “There are all kinds of summer camps for any kids, but there are very few specifically for gifted students, which I think is a unique approach to having a platform. And she is right, there are very few,” Wolf said. Keira said the summer enrichment program has made her want to attend UVA and study architecture and interior design. Wolf said she found out Keira was chosen for the elementary award on the last day of school and pulled her out of her class for a few minutes to share the news. It was an emotional moment for the young student. “I started crying. There was a lot of hugging. I was very excit-

ed,” Keira said. It is an incredible award to receive when you think about how many gifted students there are in all of Virginia, Bridget Kinnier said. “We were completely overwhelmed that she was nominated by Ms. Wolf, but then to learn she was chosen as the outstanding student in all of Virginia, we were very proud of her,” she said. Frank Kinnier said he was grateful for Powhatan’s strong gifted program because it gives students who need to be a little more challenged an avenue where they are encouraged to strive for more. “I think it is recognition of the hard work Ms. Wolf, Ms. Haskins and the other gifted teachers put into the program on a daily basis,” he said. “They work with a lot of student and they don’t have a lot of resources to do that so they are very innovative in the way they bring these opportunities to the students.” Laura McFarland may be reached at Lmcfarland@powhatantoday.com.

The reunion of Jojo and his family with some of the little boyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rescuers was organized by Powhatan County Sheriff Brad Nunnally, who wanted to thank the citizens who rushed to help the victims of an Aug. 8 two-vehicle crash in Powhatan County. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a different age right now. Most people are too busy filming and not busy helping. They think about grabbing a cell phone and not grabbing a car,â&#x20AC;? he said. Nunnally had certificates of meritorious service to the community and challenge coins to present to the people who helped at the accident site. The coins are usually reserved for other officers or people who do something commendable that law enforcement wants to recognize, he said. There were several other Good Samaritans who helped and couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to the ceremony, and Nunnally said he will meet with them separately. The gathering held Friday, Aug. 17 at the sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office also gave Jojoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mother, Shequita Carter of Richmond, a chance to personally thank the people who helped save her sonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just want to thank everyone that helped him, that was there to save his life, because this was scary for me. And I am very appreciative of everybody that

helped him,â&#x20AC;? Carter said. She said in a separate interview that she also wanted to use any opportunity she could to help spread the message of how important it is to use car seats and safety belts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People put kids in cars every day without a car seat and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about stuff like this. I do now. I think about this. I just think about him being ejected from that car and not having me there. It makes me upset,â&#x20AC;? she said.

The accident Jojo and his sister, 4-year-old Iyana, were passengers in a car with their babysitter, Sandra R. Petty of Powhatan, when it crashed with a mail carrier vehicle on Aug. 8 in the vicinity of the 5000 block of Old Buckingham Road. According to the Virginia State Police, who investigated the crash, neither Petty nor the two young children were wearing seatbelts. Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vehicle approached a mail carrier vehicle and attempted to pass that vehicle on the left side, according to state police. The mail carrier driver, Kevin Lippy, was making a left turn, resulting in both vehicles colliding and overturning. Soon after the crash, vehicles that were driving along Old Buckingham started coming upon the scene and people got out to help.

When Cas Schirra of Powhatan drove up to the scene of the accident, she said people were there helping extricate the victims in the vehicles. She quickly got out to help as well. Except for minor injuries, everybody seemed to be OK until they realized there was a child trapped under one of the vechiles. They could see Jojoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feet under the car where he was pinned, but because Pettyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car was on its side wedged up against a stone pillar and a fence, it couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pushed over. Schirra started running to the vehicles arriving in the stalled traffic and asking for jacks and for people to come and help lift the vehicle off of the trapped little boy. Jordan Springer of Powhatan was calling 911 to report the accident, but at first he could only see the mail carrier vehicle on its side. When he heard someone yelling about a child trapped under another vehicle, he called again to make sure emergency services were aware of it. He tried to help move the car off of Jojo, noting that it was a small vehicle, so they could have lifted it had it not been wedged. Trey Thompson, a service crew member with Royall Pump and Well Co. in Powhatan, and his co-worker Patrick Davenport, were headed toward Amelia for a job when the traffic stalled because of the accident. They also got out to help, and when someone came and asked for a jack, which they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, they learned a child was stuck under a car. Thompson, who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make it to the ceremony and was interviewed separately, recounted how much his adrenaline was pumping as they tried in vain to lift the car off of the little boy. He got down on his knees to look under the overturned vehicle and saw where the door was curved around Jojo holding him down. Thompson got the idea to run to his vehicle for a galvanized pipe they could use to wedge under the car and bend the door enough so the child could be pulled out. All the while, the rescuers were all too aware of and scared that if they rocked the car too much it would crush him, Thompson said. Deputy Josh Barnes responded to the accident and arrived just as Thompson got the idea to go get the pipe. When he arrived, he said the rescue effort was in a state of organized chaos. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had a plan. Everybody was everywhere but the plan ended up coming together really well. They did a good job,â&#x20AC;? he said of the people who helped the crash victims. The plan worked, and the rescuers got enough of a lift to pull Jojo out and stabilize his neck just before a Med-Flight he-

licopter came to take him to the hospital. More than one commented that when he was pulled out, they were scared to see he had a â&#x20AC;&#x153;goose egg-sized knotâ&#x20AC;? on his head. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was going to make it,â&#x20AC;? Schirra said of the moment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You arrive at something like that and you start praying and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working.â&#x20AC;? With the rescue finished and the adrenaline ebbing away, Thompson said he was overwhelmed with tiredness and the image of seeing the little boy trapped under the wreck. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is one of those things you can never get out of your head,â&#x20AC;? he said.

The aftermath The day of the accident, Shequita Carter was visiting her cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apartment in Richmond. She had just left to head to work when she noticed officers coming into the complex. She admits to being nosy and watched to see where he would go. One knocked on her cousinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s door, which is where she had mentioned to Petty she would be. She asked who they were looking for, and when they said her name and she identified herself, she was told her son and daughter had been in a critical car accident and her little boy had been taken to MCV by Med-Flight. Carter said she was in shock as the officers drove her to the hospital. The sirens were blaring but inside the car was silent except for the fears crowding in on her. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I got there it was even worse. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what was going on. All I knew was he was just laying on the table with tubes in him,â&#x20AC;? she said. Jojo had extensive injuries to his head and upper body, although Carter said she couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t talk about them. For the first day or so doctors didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if he would survive, but about two days in they were sure see JOJO, pg. 6

ed meaning of Robert Frost’s poem, “The Road Not Taken,” and explaining why he decided not to use it. Many interpretations hold that the poem is about facing two paths and how deciding which one to take can make all the difference. However, others argue that no matter which path the poem’s narrator chooses, he would always be regretful over the attractive alternative that was rejected. Because of this, Massa said he decided not to use the poem because he wanted to emphasize that the summer graduates should leave high school with no regrets. A multitude of reasons brought the young men and women graduating during the summer commencement to that point, whether it was needing more time or less, he said. They all have to choose

the path that suits them best. “Tonight you should leave this building with no regrets as this is not a time to waste looking at the past but instead a time to live in the present and look toward the future,” Massa said. “Be excited, be adventurous, take risks, but use good judgment.” Massa urged the graduates to continue to explore the paths less traveled, “but make sure, when you come to the end of that path, take what you have learned and apply it to the future, not dwelling on what the other path may have yielded.” Johnson, 18, said he got senioritis and didn’t put in the work he should have until the last nine weeks of school, when his predicament began to hit home. He started working harder but still fell short by two credits that he had to complete during summer school, a blow that hit

dition for Liberty University’s Indoor Drumline and pursue a degree in music education. Graduating early was a big struggle, Murnahan said, because he had to take intensive online classes this summer. Knowing he achieved it and having his family come and see him graduate made it worth it for him, he said.

hardest on June 9, when he might have been graduating with the rest of his class. From the end of the school year and all the way through summer school, Johnson said assistant principal Mike Barak was by his side, helping and encouraging him. He added he also appreciated the encouragement of Massa and Lisa Simonick, math and online learning teacher. With their help and his own hard work, he still got himself through to graduation day, even if it came a little later than expected. “It felt really great. I accomplished something that I should have done on June 9, but I worked hard for it. After falling short, I bounced back,” he said with a smile. Murnahan, 17, decided to graduate early so he could work and save money toward furthering his education. He plans to au-

he was going to be OK, she said. Carter said doctors were surprised how quickly Jojo has recovered to where he was able to come home. Longterm, they still don’t know what the repercussions will be with his health. Only time will tell, they told her. Jojo was able to come home from the hospital last week. He tires quickly and doesn’t always communicate well what is wrong, so she has to stay home from work to watch him. He will also need three to six months of home therapy, she said. She is reluctant to let anyone else watch him but a few close family members, because even Petty, who was a close friend for many years, ultimately broke her trust, she said. Carter said she is grateful Jojo was able to walk and talk so soon after such a traumatic head injury and that he is progressively getting better. What worries her is that he is not the same carefree, stubborn little boy he was a few weeks ago. Before he was a loud ball of energy, whether he was jumping in any puddle like it was a wading pool, playing pretend army games with his sister in the backyard, or watching his favorite show “Paw Patrol.” Now he is timid, softspoken and much more cautious. He is also weaker and tires easily, she said, but he is progressing. “It is not him but he is getting there,” she said.

YMCA Bright Beginnings participants and volunteers shop for back-to-school clothes at Target.

SHOPPING Continued from pg. 1

The annual back-to-school tradition has been going on in Powhatan for 14 years and in the Greater Richmond Community for 26 years as an essential part of Bright Beginnings’ goal of ensuring children are prepared and confident for the school year. “The best things about Bright Beginnings is that we are preparing kids for success for school. They are starting the school year off on the right foot – new clothing, new backpack, starting fresh,” Foster said. “The other piece is just to be able to give back to kids in our community.” Bright Beginnings is a fully funded program of the YMCA, Foster said. The YMCA had a goal this year of $11,000 and so far has raised about $9,200 of that through donations with more needed. As a shopping buddy, volunteers are paired with a child between the ages of 5 to 11. Together, they shop for two new outfits, shoes, socks, underwear and a new jacket, said Adam Foster, executive director of the YMCA. These volunteers included local teachers, sheriff’s deputies, members of civic organizations, YMCA staff and members, and employees of participating businesses. Many have been participating in the program for years. “It’s an opportunity for kids to be around positive role models. I think in today’s world we miss that a little bit, so just to be around positive role models from Powhatan County is one piece,” Foster said. “The second piece is for the children to get to experience a time in their life when they get to pick out what they want. Some of the children might not have had the opportunity to go in a department store and say, ‘Oh look I like those shoes, let’s buy them.’ So to give them the opportunity to do that is huge.” The children also receive a backpack filled with school supplies by groups such as PIEtech Inc., Passion Community Church, members of the YMCA and Powhatan County Public Schools, he said. The experience is also a positive experience for the volunteers who give their time during the shopping trips, Foster added. Joy Daniel, a Powhatan teacher and

resident, returned as a volunteer after two years away, but with 18 years of experience helping with the shopping trips first in Midlothian and then Powhatan, coming back was an easy transition. Daniel shopped alongside her friend Zakiya Worsham, who has been helping with the shopping trip since she came to work for Powhatan County Social Services more than 14 years ago. The pair stuck together for the shopping trip because they were helping two little girls, a 5-year-old and a 7-year-old who are cousins. Daniel said what keeps her coming back is the children and the feeling that giving is receiving. When the trip starts out each year, she said her only goal is to be a good friend for the evening and to help the child she is paired with to have a good time. Worsham echoed that sentiment and said she brought her own daughter last year for the first time to get her started early in learning the importance of giving back to your community. “It gets better and better each year because the kids show you they appreciate you taking time out of your schedule to be with them,” Worsham said. “I love seeing the smile on their faces as we get them things for school.” For the last 14 years, when the participating pairs finish their shopping and head to the front of the store, Carolyn Gillespie, a volunteer and former employee of the YMCA, is there waiting to pay for them. She gets a kick out of seeing the children showing off their new clothes and oohing and ahhing over them. “It makes the child feel really good,” she said. This was the second year Peggy Fry, a PIEtech employee, has answered her company’s call for volunteers and signed up for the shopping trip. She loved the experience when she participated last year and had another great time this year when she was paired with a 5-year-old girl who was “very energetic and very talkative.” Fry said she was there to offer guidance but wanted to help the little girl pick out what she wanted to wear. “She was looking for certain items – a unicorn shirt and a pair of rainbow shoes that light up,” said Fry, who added they found both.

Back-to-school shopping trip a lesson in kindness By Laura McFarland News Editor

f the many joys that come with becoming a parent, back-to-school shopping is not one I would ever envy. When I was young, shopping for my mom was probably not an overly enjoyable experience even before she became a single mom to three girls when my dad died. As parents who came before and after can contest, it’s hectic, it’s tiring and it’s expensive. New clothes, shoes and school supplies add up quickly for one child, much less having three. On top of all that, actually taking a child shopping can be a headache. According to my mom, my favorite phrase when I really little was, “Mommy, can I have this?” Apparently, I said it a great deal because she definitely emphasized it. “You were always good natured but you did like me to buy stuff,” she said when I asked her, because, frankly, I don’t remember what I was like to shop with when I was a little kid. As I grew older and more introverted, I transitioned to disliking shopping altogether and not wanting to be there. I bet that made for some even more fun trips. I was thinking about this (and silently thanking my mom for her patience) when I tagged along on the first of three shopping trips planned for the 90 children

A tale of two Rons

who are part of the Elizabeth Randolph Lewis Powhatan YMCA’s Bright Beginnings program. The group was divided up, with 30 children going shopping per trip and the excursions to Target at Westchester Commons taking place over three consecutive days. When they arrived, they were met with volunteers who are members and staff of the YMCA, employees of local businesses such as PIEtech Inc. and Virginia Credit Union, local school teachers, Powhatan deputies, members of the Junior League of Richmond, and more. When the bus first pulled up for the Aug. 14 group of children, one of the children reminded me of myself when I was younger. He was obviously out of sorts and unenthusiastic about the prospect of the shopping trip ahead. In those first few minutes, the volunteer teamed with him tried to cajole him into a good mood, but he didn’t seem to be having it. Maybe he was tired or hungry. He did ask for water right away. Whatever the reason, something had put him in a bad mood. About 20 minutes later, I saw the same volunteer and little boy in the shoe section picking out a brand new pair of sneakers. The boy was upbeat and talking a mile a minute. He also seemed quite happy with the shoes that they had picked out, which I believe lit up when he walked. It was a great transformation to see, not because I minded a cranky kid but because the whole purpose of the annual back-to-school shopping trip is to give the

This story is about two guys named Ron. While trying to ignore political news the other day, I happened across the story of two guys with the same name running for the same seat in a Kansas Republican primary recently. Ron Estes is the current representative for the district, and Ron Estes was seeking to unseat the legislator. One of the first things Estes, or Rep. Estes as he likes to be called, said was voter confusion could be a problem. Seriously? The state also recognized the potential for a debacle, so the ballot pitted Rep. Ron Estes against Ron M. Estes. Rep. Estes claimed the M stands for misleading. The latter’s campaign replied that the M actually stands for ‘Merica. On Aug. 7, the talk stopped, and voters went to the polls to decide. One thing they all knew: An Estes would be running against the Democrat in November. Now, I didn’t have a dog in this fight, and I bet you didn’t either. But, it is puzzling that in a country of more than 340 million folks that we can’t find two candidates that at least have different names. In the Kansas case, the old adage hurled at politicians (“You guys are all the same”) really hit close to home. But the confusion didn’t stop Rep. Ron Estes from winning. When voters were asked if the name similarity caused confusion, some said they had to double check their ballot to make sure they had voted for the correct Estes. By winning the primary, Estes gained the right to run again in November against James Thompson. I’ve heard politics produces strange bedfellows, but having the same name seems like a bridge too far. In some cases, distinguishing one candidate from another is becoming more difficult, and expecting voters to decipher which Ron Estes is which seems burdensome. The bottom line: Most of us get our fill of politics and need a short break from the insanity. Summer is a great time for that respite. Unfortunately, the 24hour news cycle is not getting the message.

children who are part of Bright Beginnings a great experience that makes them look forward to the start of a new school year. The annual shopping trip is possible because of donations that come in from local people and businesses. Because of those donations, the volunteers were given a $100 budget that would buy a pair of shoes, some clothing, and a few other essentials for each child. The volunteers greeted the child they had been assigned to help, introduced themselves and then headed off into the store to begin shopping. They looked for deals to keep to their budget but still tried to find clothing that would help the children feel happy and confident. They asked the children’s opinions and gave them the final votes on what they purchased as long as they stayed within their budgets. One little girl who put her purchases up on the conveyor belt when it was time to pay exclaimed over her beautiful new shoes, which were multicolored and quite sparkly little sneakers. The look on her face was pure joy as she showed them to me. Based on what I saw, if the entire mission of these annual back-to-school shopping excursions is to give these children a positive experience and help them make encouraging connections with adults in their community (who make it obvious they want to be there), then the organizers once again succeeded.

Indians scrimmage Cavs in first action of ‘18 By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

owhatan football got its first chance to play against another team besides themselves in practice on Aug. 16 at Powhatan High School. Throughout the scrimmage against Clover Hill, the Indians took the opportunity to test out players in different positions, first teamers and second teamers, against the Cavaliers.

The first part of the scrimmage was set situations, with coaches on the field and things like fumbles or interceptions not truly turning into turnovers. There were sets of nine or 10 plays that each offense would run and then the other offense would come out against the opposing defense. The second part of the scrimmage, which was two 12-minute quarters, was full-speed football between the Indians and Cavaliers. “It was a typical first scrimmage,”

coach Jim Woodson said. “There were a lot of positive things out there. We saw some guys doing some good things. Of course, we made mistakes in other areas, but they’re correctable mistakes. We’ll be ready to work on that. We got what we expected.” Powhatan is flushed with seniors this season. On offense, the Indians have seniors starting at every position, with just one sophomore (JaySun Carroll) projected to start in one of the wide receiver slots.

Jacob Moss, Jacob Taylor, Xavier Trotman, Brendan McMullin, Gavin Clark, Austin Bradley, Jacob Dowdy, Jay’Vion Johnson and Jarrett Tronge will provide tons of leadership and athleticism on the offensive side of the ball for the Indians. Moss looked strong under center for the Indians and made plays happen. In the first part of the scrimmage, the Indians were in a goal-to-go scenario and Moss rolled out to the left and was under see INDIANS, pg. 2B

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Matt Dana found a crease and exploded downfield for a touchdown run during the Knights scrimmage.

Down the hill from where the Blessed Sacrament Huguenot Knights will play under the lights on Friday nights this season is the practice field. It is only half a field, but was plenty long enough for the scrimmage between Blessed Sacrament Huguenot and Atlantic Shores Christian on Aug. 17. The scrimmage was Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s first, and only, scrimmage prior to its season opener, and that made it all the more important for the team. “We did really well,” coach Shawn Pickett said. “The kids were having fun. We do have some things to work on, like

holding on to the football. But, overall they met our expectations.” Ball security was one aspect of the game that the Knights struggled with against the Division II Seahawks. The Knights had some fumbles that, in a real game, would have resulted in turnovers and would have given Atlantic Shores good field position or killed a potential scoring drive. The passing game also saw some errant throws that wound up as interceptions. However, those issues aside, the Knights showed the consistency and effectiveness of the Single Wing offense.

On the par-4 first, par-5 third and par-4 eighth holes, Voorhees bogeyed twice and double bogeyed once. But, those were his only marks on his scorecard.

Voorhees is a cleared his teammates by strokes and bested the lowest Knights player, Hunter Randle, by five strokes. The performance was a bounce-back for Voorhees after he struggled at Lake Chesdin.

Clippers provide good preseason test for Indians By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

ne benefit of losing just one senior from the previous season is that you return a very experienced squad. Another benefit is that you have the collective memories from the previous season to go back to. Following the Aug. 14 scrimmage against Grafton at Powhatan High School, coach Amber Foos reminded the Indians about one game in particular from last season—the Region 4B quarterfinal against Midlothian. In that game against the Trojans, the Indians battled back from being down two sets to Midlothian. Powhatan was at set point in the fourth set, needing just one point to push it to a fifth set, but the

pressure from a Cavaliers defender. Moss took the ball and lowered his shoulders into the two awaiting Clover Hill players at the goal line and barged his way into the end zone for a touchdown. “He did a nice job,” Woodson said of his quarterback. “He did a nice job throwing the ball. We just need to give him a bit more time to throw. Sometimes, he was getting hit as soon as he was throwing.” As the Cavaliers will be beginning their season on Aug. 23 against Mills Godwin, their offensive and defensive packages were a bit more advanced than Powhatan’s was in the scrimmage. “They’re a little further ahead than we were in terms of packages,” Woodson said. “They had some blitz schemes going that caught us off guard a little bit. But, that’s cor-

Trojans came back and went on a 6-2 run to take the fourth set and eliminate the Indians. Foos said that bringing that game up reminds the team of what they’re capable of. “It’s a game that we really should have won,” she said. “It’s also a teachable moment because they think if they lose the first and even the second set, they think that they’re just going to lose the game. It’s not the case. That’s what we’re trying to tell them.” Foos pointed out that the Indians came out confident in the first set of the scrimmage against Grafton, but after losing the set by five points, there was a change in the team’s demeanor. “We’re trying to remind them that they have five sets,” she said. “This isn’t JV, where it’s best two-

out-of-three. They’re best of five. Even if you lose the first two sets, it’s hard to come back, but you have the opportunity. The Midlo game is what we’re using as motivation right now because they walked into that game thinking (Midlo) was going to beat us. And then here we are and we’re up 24-20 in the fourth set. It’s that motivational piece. It’s losing a set and coming back and coming back harder than earlier in the game. There’s a lot of motivation for what we’re trying to push here.” Powhatan played five sets against Grafton in the scrimmage and lost all five. But, the Clippers are a state-championship caliber team that plays two classes above the Indians. “For what it was worth, considering Grafton is second in the state, they played really well,” Foos

rectable and we have ways to fix that.” From the running back position, Taylor had several nice plays in both the run and passing game. On one play during the second part of the scrimmage, Taylor ran left, reversed field, made a few guys miss and turned what was originally going to be a loss into a doubledigit yard gain. Taylor showed both power and speed in his plays throughout the scrimmage, both in his ability to break tackles and go for long gains. He scored two touchdowns for the Indians in the scrimmage, one on a passing play to the corner of the end zone and another on a 1-yard run in which he was untouched going into the end zone. “He’s a solid little guy,” Woodson said. “He’s tough. He’s got a low center of gravity and he’s a hard dude to tackle. Hopefully we can get him a break here or there. He’s doing a heck of a job.”

McMullin also had a nice grab in the end zone for a score for the Indians. On defense, Powhatan will have a similarly experienced group, with plenty of juniors and seniors starting across the positions. Jacob Dowdy, a senior, made some nice tackles for the Indians against Clover Hill, some of which stuffed run plays for a loss. Xavier Trotman will lead the defense from the linebacker spot and is one of eight returning starters from the defensive unit a year ago. Powhatan made some nice stands, including one on fourth and goal from inside the 1-yard line, but a few times, Clover Hill was able to utilize its speed and burned the Indians defense for big gains or touchdowns. “We’re doing well,” Woodson said of his defense. “We’re tackling well, we’re hitting well. (Clover Hill) had some good speed and we had some areas where we

said. “Last year, I think there were a few sets where we didn’t even make it to double digits. I think we did quite well. We were trying to work the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle. We saw some things, tactically, that we need to work the kinks out of, but we saw a lot of things that we can build on.” Throughout the sets, the Indians were able to keep pace and even lead Grafton at times, while still having a different lineup on the floor in each match. During the first set, the Clippers lead 18-10, but Powhatan went on an 8-1 run that forced a Grafton timeout. Twice during the scrimmage, Powhatan was able to overcome a slower start to the set and got into a rhythm and were able to

score points in runs against the Clippers. “That’s one of the things I’m trying to focus on this year,” Foos said. “I want us to start on top and push forward. I want us to start in control and not be coming back from a 4-0 deficit.” Powhatan has eight seniors in Katie Coats, Jordan Davis, Sierra Ellison, Lauren Llewellyn, Natalie Mueller, Rachel Mueller, Madelyn Turnery and Hannah Worsham, on the roster this season, all of whom bring valuable experience to the table. Juniors McKenna Adams, Star Bryant, Zoe Higley and sophomore McKenzie Urbine round out the Indians roster for 2018. One new addition to the Indians this season is on the bench. Former Powhatan volleyball player and James Madison University

player Janey Goodman joins the Indians as an assistant coach. Foos and Goodman will also be co-coaching the JV Indians volleyball team. Goodman’s younger sister, Julia, will also be volunteering as a coach for the Indians this season. “That brings some excitement to (the players) as well,” Foos said in an interview in July. “They’re coaches that have gone through the Powhatan program. Both of them are just balls of light and knowledgeable. That’s a good thing for the program, having some fresh eyes and fresh perspectives.” The Indians travelled to another scrimmage at Trinity Episcopal on Aug. 20 before kicking off the season on Aug. 22 against Hanover at Powhatan.

Powhatan’s defense had several tackles where they all swarmed to the Clover Hill player and stopped him in his tracks for no gain or a loss. The Indians defense is an experienced unit that returns eight starters from last season.

didn’t match up as well with the speed. When we got our hands on them, I thought we did well.” Woodson said that he was disappointed with some of the deep balls that Clover Hill put up and

connected on that got behind the Indians defenders. “We don’t want to get beat deep,” he said. “We don’t like to get out-leveraged on defense and we don’t like to get beat deep.

That happened a couple times, but that’s correctable.” Powhatan will scrimmage once more on Aug. 23 against Collegiate before opening the season against Midlothian.

Latest football participation trend absent in Powhatan By Billy Fellin Sports Editor

hile the bright lights of Friday night will shine in Powhatan County at Powhatan High School and Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, that will not be the case for some other schools in the state. Park View High School, Manassas Park High School and Charles City High School have all cancelled their varsity football seasons due to lack of participation. The Loudoun Times reported that Park View had cancelled its season in early August after just 18 players reported to the team. According to the report, the 2019 season doesn’t look good for Patriots football, either. Manassas Park had almost the same turnout as Park View, with just 15 players available, according to an article by the Washington Post. Charles City has cancelled its entire football program. The Panthers also cancelled their volleyball season for 2018. The Virginia High School League recom-

mends that schools playing high school football have no less than 25 “physically fit and eligible” players. The difference in a year is striking for both Park View and Manassas Park. Park View belongs to the same class as Powhatan, Class 4, and had 103 players competing last season, according to an article by The Daily Progress. Manassas Park had 62 football players last season. Both schools have over 1,000 students in its population and are both in Northern Virginia, but both teams have been down on their luck in terms of onfield production over the last few seasons. Manassas Park was 1-9 last season and only won two games in 2016. Park View had eight consecutive losing seasons from 20122017, according to an article by the Fauquier Times and were 0-10 last year. Both teams will field junior varsity teams this season. Another issue arises when it comes to scheduling, especially this close to the season. One Powhatan opponent, Western Albemarle, had to scramble after Park

View cancelled its season as they were scheduled to play each other on Oct. 19. The Warriors filled the game slot with a game against Warren County. It is a different story for football popularity in Powhatan this season. Coach Jim Woodson said that between varsity and junior varsity, the Indians football program is at over 90 players. “JV and varsity (are) booming,” he said. “We had to order extra helmets. It’s looking good here. We have a nice group down at JV. We’re up to 40-some guys on varsity. We’re doing well in that area.” Similarly, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot saw an increase in participation this season. The Knights had 23 players on the roster at the start of last season and have 33 on the roster this season. Coach Shawn Pickett said he was unsure of the situations at Manassas Park and Park View and didn’t want to comment on the cancelled seasons. According to the National Federation of State High School Associations’ 2016-17 High School Athletics Participation Survey, there were 14,099 schools that participated in football

last year, with 1,057,382 players. However, some schools have moved to an eightplayer style of football, with 841 schools adopting that style of play. The eight-player format eliminates three positions on each side of the ball and plays on a narrower field.

It is a favorable choice for schools who can’t field a full 11-man team. Overall, football participation nationwide has declined by 5 percent, according to an article by Reuters, from 1.11 million players in 2008. The article states that concerns over head injuries due to

the game are behind the decline. With two youth football clubs in Powhatan fueling interest in the game as well as large rosters from both Powhatan and Blessed Sacrament Huguenot, interest in football in the county is still strong, at least for 2018.

par on six of the nine holes in the match. The only marks on his card were on the par-4 first, par-5 third and par-4 eighth holes. On those holes, he bogeyed twice and double bogeyed once. Voorhees cleared his teammates by seven strokes and bested the lowest Knights player, Hunter Randle, by five strokes. Leech wrote that the performance by Voorhees was redemptive after a disappointing performance in the season-opening tournament at Lake Chesdin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think he just needed to get the bad golf out of his system,â&#x20AC;?

the Indians, each shot 11over 46. Biringer shot par on three holes, but had a rough time on the first hole, where he was fourover, as well as the third hole, where he was threeover. Washburn was consistent across his card, with his only par coming on the fourth hole. He had no worse than a double bogey on his card. Kory Brown was the fourth scorer for the Indians with a 12-over 47. Leech wrote that the win can propel the Indians forward through their next few matches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(It gives us) positive energy and momentum,â&#x20AC;? he wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still have a lot of work to do and everybody knows that they left shots out there against Charlottesville.

spot as he evaded the defenders from Atlantic Shores and had a long touchdown run. Dana was one player that Pickett pointed out as one who impressed him during the scrimmage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He really stepped up today and hit the holes,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That was the first game heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever played in. Harrison Lee and Josh Decker, both freshman, really had big roles for us today. Reilly Dickerson and the whole offensive line did a nice job.â&#x20AC;? On defense, the Knights put out a strong performance as they were largely able to contain the

Seahawks offense and made sound tackles. Mark Tosh had a few from his defensive back spot that stopped the ball carrier in his tracks. Linebacker Khadeis Battle also made his presence known as he made a few plays in the backfield for a loss on the play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I loved the way the kids were running around,â&#x20AC;? Pickett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They made good tackles and adjusted well to the calls that Coach Mack made.â&#x20AC;?
