300 shots and were focused on vaccinating county employees and partner agency employees.

Saturday’s clinic saw the expansion into using the entire building. The front lobby was used to check in people who had registered online. After they fi lled out their paperwork, they headed to the gym and had their paperwork verifi ed twice along the way. They stood in line to receive their vaccines, which was the quickest part of the whole process, and then sat in chairs spread well apart in the rest of the gym for the requisite 15-minute period to monitor for any immediate side effects. Additionally, the band room, which is closer to the front door than the gym, was used to vaccinate people with mobility issues or those who couldn’t walk as far.

The ability to expand so rapidly in the number of patients served was down to another big change the county made – switching from using the Moderna vaccine to the Pfi zer vaccine, Nellis said.

He had been promised 300 vaccines a week when using Moderna but was told he could get up to 1,100 at a time if he switched to Pfi zer. He has been saying for weeks that if he could get more shots to put in people’s arms he knew they could handle it. So after the remaining people who already had their fi rst doses of Moderna come back for their second shots, Nellis said he will switch exclusively to using Pfi zer.

Because of how it has to be stored, the Pfi zer vaccine is logistically more complicated to plan around for Emergency Services Solutions (ESS), which is administering the shots. But the public won’t see any difference on the medical side, Nellis added.

With the increased volume of patients the clinics can now hold, Nellis also made a big switch in scheduling. To date, the clinics he has organized have been held on different days of the week, depending on the availability of vaccine.

Moving forward, Nellis said he plans to hold fi rst dose clinics on Saturdays and, once they start, second dose clinics on Sundays. These are days more people are off of work, which includes staff that would be working at the center if the clinics were scheduled during the week. Nellis praised the job done by both ESS workers and the volunteers who handled registration, directing people, answering questions, and more.

“The volunteers that came in are just amazing people and they stepped up to the plate. I told them when they came in, ‘We are going to have fun with this,’ and that was the key,” Nellis said. “We try to relax and just joke around with the public and let them know they are appreciated and take the edge off of it. … Everybody has been pleasant and very helpful, and that is the Powhatan way.”

Sense of relief

Shirley Ward, 70, and her husband, Robert, 71, said they were very anxious to get the vaccine. The Powhatan couple has been severely limiting how much they go out and who they see and they are ready to feel more comfortable getting out and about and, eventually, even getting to see their son and his family in California.

So when their neighbor emailed them a link about Saturday’s clinic, they were eager to register for their shots, she said.

They were also infl uenced by knowing people who have suffered from and even died from the coronavirus, Robert Ward added.

“We felt that we needed to get this shot and get it as soon as we could,” he said. “It is a comfort. It makes me feel better that even though I will continue to distance and continue to wear my mask, I think I am a little bit more protected,” he said.

The couple agreed that the vaccination clinic was very well run and they didn’t have any issues during the experience. The one thing that concerned Shirley Ward was a lack of people of color in the crowded gymnasium as she looked around, and she said she hopes the word is getting out to people, especially those without reliable internet.

Carl Tobias, 74, and Peggy Sanner, 68, also heard about the clinic through an email sent by a friend. The Henrico couple had been looking for an opportunity to get vaccinated, mainly because of Tobias’ job as a University of Richmond professor, which puts him in contact with more people, and their desire not to be a risk to their extended families.

Sanner said she and her husband arrived early for their 1:30 p.m. time slot and were pleasantly surprised at the clinic’s effi ciency and well-thought out layout.

“I would like to express my appreciation for how this has been organized and run by the county. It is very well done and it is a service that people really are grateful for,” she said.

Katrina McIntosh of Powhatan is a Powhatan County Public Library employee who was previously scheduled to receive the vaccine at a smaller clinic for county employees but it was canceled because of icy weather. Her motivation for getting the vaccine was both her interaction with the public through the library and wanting to be part of the “herd immunity” buildup of protection for the community.

Other than wishing she had worn a warmer jacket for her wait outside, McIntosh said the experience was hassle-free and she is glad to have the fi rst shot done.

Moving forward, Nellis intends to hold more community vaccine clinics, but said it will continue to be subject to the availability of the shots.

Powhatan has established a page on its website regarding COVID-19 information that can be found at http://www.powhatanva.gov/1687/COVID---19-Information. The county also set up a new COVID Vaccine hotline at 804-905-9970. This line is run by a limited, mostly volunteer staff answering calls. If a voicemail is left, it will be returned as soon as possible. Nellis said the county will announce future clinics on the county’s COVID-19 website and its Facebook page. Virginia residents and workers can now pre-register to get a COVID-19 vaccine through the new Statewide Vaccine Pre-registration System. They can sign up on online 24/7 at vaccinate. virginia.gov; or by phone from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. seven days a week by calling 1-877-VAXIN-VA (877-829-4682).

VIRGINIA BEACH – At the end of the Class 4 state wrestling championships, there was, for Powhatan’s competitors, some heartbreak, as, for the second year in a row, the closest they came to an individual state title was a second-place fi nish.

But none of them left empty-handed.

All six of Powhatan’s wrestlers who qualifi ed for states earned placements at states in their respective weight classes. And all three seniors – Linwood Hill (170 pounds), Sean Hall (132) and Hayden Fitzsimmons (195) – fi nished third or better.

“All-in-all, obviously there’s some things that we would like to change, but at the same time, I’m proud of our guys, not even for the wrestling aspect...I’m just super proud that our kids were super-mature about everything (with) everything thrown at them,” said Powhatan head wrestling coach Jonathan Tanaka. “They continued to roll with the punches. They continued to do what we asked them to do, and even against all the odds, they just kept wrestling and we were able to get a season in. At the end of the day, that’s probably going to be the takeaway for the weekend.”

Linwood Hill fi nally broke through for a state podium fi nish, and for the four-time state qualifi er, it was a postseason to remember as he rallied from coming up short in his regional semifi nal match, to qualifying for states by powering his way through consolations to earn a true second-place fi nish, to reaching the state fi nals in thrilling fashion, to earning state runner-up honors.

In a lightning fi rst round, Hill pinned Riley Fesser in under 15 seconds to advance to a classic semifi nal duel. He and Amherst County’s Parker Hoden wrestled in the neutral for most of regulation, with Hoden rising to his feet on a quick escape at the top of the

Knights all set for new season

By Nick Vandeloecht

Sports Editor

Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Knights are all set to begin their sixgame varsity football season in the Virginia Colonial Conference’s 8-man league this coming Friday when they host Southampton Academy at 2 p.m.

“The season itself, it’s going to be a tremendous opportunity for us and the school 2019 FILE PHOTOS in general to have an DECKER uplifting experience,” said BSH head football coach Gary Brock.

With only two seniors, the Knights, now more than a year removed from their 5-4 campaign in 2019, will be young FICHTER to begin this season.

“You certainly want to go into every ball game – we go in to win it, and be competitive,” Brock said while adding: “With a shortened season like this, in a way, NADEAU you’re looking at: Okay, we want to see performance and so forth and hopefully when we get through this thing and the next year comes up and we’re playing a full season and for a championship... HATFIELD we’ve had some success and some growth during this time period…we’re looking at now, and we’re looking at the future also.

The wait for Powhatan football is almost over

By Nick Vandeloecht

Sports Editor

POWHATAN – It’s been more than 15 months since its players have gone toe-to-toe with another team beneath the Friday night lights on the high school gridiron.

But for a Powhatan High School varsity football team stacked with talent and experience, that prolonged break is set to expire on February 26.

That’s when the Indians will head to L.C. Bird High School to begin the long-awaited, much-anticipated 2020-21 season.

“I love our coaching staff. I think the kids have been super-receptive to everything that we’re doing,” said Powhatan head coach Mike Henderson. “It’s a really special group of guys to be around…I’m just happy for them that they’re getting the chance to play, because they deserve it. They’ve worked for it.”

Powhatan is coming off of a keynote season in its fi rst year in Coach Henderson’s system. While that 2019 team went 4-6 and came up shy of making the playoffs, it secured two memorable road victories: an historic 2-0 shutout of Midlothian and a thrilling comefrom-behind 21-20 triumph over Clover Hill. Additionally, the margin of victory in four of Powhatan’s six losses was eight points or less.

In building on that competitive season, the Indians are much more experienced as they bring back many returners, notably up front on the offensive line. Six-foot-three, 270-pound right tackle and UNC Pembroke commit Bradey Lindhjem, senior guard Luke Beatty and junior guard Tanner Palmore, the latter of whom recently placed third in the heavyweight class of the Region 4B wrestling championships, will all be a part of a line that Henderson described as bigger and stronger.

C&FBANK’SATHLETEOFTHEWEEK

By Nick Vandeloecht

Sports Editor

When 38 girls came out for the varsity and JV teams, it was the most that Powhatan fi eld hockey coach Caryn Rehme said they had ever seen at tryouts.

“They’re really excited just to be out there and competing for their high school,” Rehme said. “Even though it’s a lot of hard work, everybody’s enjoying every day we get to be out there.”

Powhatan graduated several seniors from an incredibly hard-fought 2019 in which the team went 6-8 in the regular season as a member of the highly competitive Dominion District, but played fi ve games that went beyond regulation, winning three of those fi ve. All three victories came during shootouts, the second level of overtime in fi eld hockey, against three perennial powers: Cosby, Midlothian and Maggie Walker Governor’s School.

Powhatan’s fi nal game of 2019 – a 3-1 loss to Monacan in the Region 4B quarterfi nals – was another hard-fought game, as well as a showcase of some of the players who are projected to contribute to the team in this condensed 2020-21 season that was delayed from fall to early spring.

“They were really excited – their energy, enthusiasm was really great,” Rehme said of the younger players in that quarterfi nal match. “We’re excited to build on that and take it into this year.”

Returners expected to make an impact include Lexie Campbell, Catherine Griffi th, Joy Johnson, Savannah Johnson, Jordan Krauss, goalie Peyton Tuttle and lone senior Kaitlin Thompson.

Powhatan High School senior Kaitlin Thompson, seen in a 2019 varsity field hockey game, is back to help lead the team in the 2020-21 season.

POWHATAN

Continued from pg. 1B

Newcomer Neco Jackson, a 6-2, 255-pound senior who previously played for Life Christian Academy, is ready to start for Powhatan at left tackle. Another transfer, junior Ashton Tingle, who previously attended Skyline High School, moved to Powhatan last year after the 2019 football season and has been with the team since then. Henderson said he had a great summer and fall with his teammates. Tingle is competing for the center position with last year’s starter Mason Hathaway, who is making his way back from an injury.

Powhatan’s bench will feature several linemen who previously started in games, and will give the team plenty of depth up front.

In the pocket, the Indians will have two experienced dual-threat quarterbacks to turn to in senior Aaron Nash, whose versatility will enable him to also play at wide receiver, and junior Hans Rehme, who was another thirdplace wrestler in this year’s Region 4B championships.

Henderson described both Rehme and Nash as really good running quarterbacks, and he noted that they should be able to run the ball more effectively.

Another key player in Powhatan’s ground game will be junior Mitchell Johnson, who got better and better as last season went on, emerging as the team’s lead running back. The 190-pound RB complemented his strong game-time results with his offseason efforts over the past year-plus, and he also impressed in the two wrestling seasons in-between, most recently placing fourth in regionals while wrestling up a weight class in the 220-pound division.

“Mitchell Johnson has had as good an offseason as anybody we’ve had,” Henderson said. “He’s gotten a lot faster. He already was tough as nails. We’re really expecting him to have a big season – a real big season – and with all these linemen that we have that are back – that are bigger and stronger – we feel like we’re going to be able to run the ball pretty well.”

The Indians will have even have more blocking and rushing ability in the back with 6-1, 235-pound junior Chase Gayness on offense moving from guard to fullback and, senior 6-0, 225-pound tight end Micah Holt, who was also a standout wrestler, expected to play in the FB position at times as well.

They also return senior JaySun Carroll, who has Division I FCS offers from Norfolk State and the Virginia Military Institute. The coaches feel that Carroll is as good a receiver as anyone that they’ll see this season. He made arguably one of Powhatan’s biggest plays in 2019 when he high-pointed a pass in the end zone for the game-tying touchdown in the Indians’ game at Clover Hill. Class of 2020 alum Mason Pinnell went on to kick the go-ahead PAT for the 21-20 fi nal score.

“We’re going to fi nd ways to get him the ball,” Henderson said of Carroll.

He added that Nash is a big-play threat anytime he touches the football, whether it’s at quarterback or receiver, and that 5-9, 160-pound senior wide receiver Tye Morris is versatile and underrated.

Powhatan’s depth in the receiving position goes even further, as junior Ethan Dowdy, who started at wide receiver last year, will be in the team’s four-receiver look this year, and junior Fisher Hamersley, who will start at cornerback on defense, is “an awesome receiver” according to Henderson and will likely see some time in that role on offense.

While they’ll have depth across the skills positions, Henderson noted that “we need to be able to run the ball as well as we think we’re going to run the ball,” and that they need to improve in their passing game.

“We have to throw the ball better; last year we probably tried to throw the ball a little bit too much, but we need to throw the ball more consistently,” Henderson said. “We have big-play receivers, and we have a good line, so we have the potential to do it, and we’ve seen fl ashes of it in practice. We’re just not as consistent as we would like to be.”

But he did note in regards to the team’s passing performance in recent days: “We are improving steadily in that area.”

On defense, junior Zach Karanian never missed a workout in the offseason and brings tremendous strength to the defensive end position. Henderson described junior Mitch Bolt as one of their best offensive linemen last year, “but as good as he is, he’s even better on defense.” Thanks to its depth on the offensive line, the team will be able to start Bolt on the defensive line this year, although Bolt remains part of that OL depth if he is needed there.

In both his senior year and his fi rst year with Powhatan, Neco Jackson, whom Henderson described as a tremendous asset to the program, will start both ways, playing tackle on defense.

Junior defensive tackle Dominic Guppenberger was, according to Henderson, “terrorizing us” in practice – “he was making a ton of plays” – but unfortunately, he ended up his injuring his knee in practice a couple weeks ago. Henderson, who praised Guppenberger’s toughness and quickness, expects that he will be back at some point during the season, although he will likely miss the fi rst couple of weeks in the sixgame regular season. The team as of Thursday was working to fi nd someone to replace him for that time period.

Behind the front four, 6-0, 240-pound, all-region lineman and junior Wyatt Lowe, who has started every game since his freshman year on the defensive line, has moved to the inside linebacker position beside fellow junior Gayness, a multisport standout who, like Lowe, has started every game since his freshman year. Henderson described both players as the keys to making everything work.

They will be joined by senior Ben Allanson, who has worked hard to step into the starting role of outside linebacker.

The coaches feel that stopping the run will be a strength for the defense. The team will also feature a talented core of defensive backs, which, according to Henderson, includes two “true cover guys” in cornerbacks Nash and Hamersley and a terrifi c safety in Carroll, whose key defensive plays last season included an interception that ultimately helped tighten Powhatan’s game against Cosby. Sophomore talent Landon Hutchinson, who was one of Powhatan’s top JV players, looks to become a longtime fi xture on the varsity team as he steps into the starting role of free safety.

Concerns for the defense include staying healthy. The unit currently has little depth at the DB and LB positions, and one of the issues that Powhatan faced last year is that it played some of its biggest games in 2019 without some of its key players, who were sidelined by injuries.

“We trained hard this offseason,” Henderson said, “but you’ve got to have a little bit of luck, too.”

The coaches are also looking for the defense to gel together with new starters in the group.

“But as far as putting talent on the fi eld, I feel pretty comfortable with where we’re at,” Henderson said.

Powhatan’s players have been able to lift together throughout the summer and fall, building up not only their strength and fi tness, but also their chemistry with one another.

“They care about each other,” Henderson said. “That goes a long way, too.”

When they were all on the fi eld for a recent practice, Henderson said: “It was so fun. The coaches were happy. The players were happy. It felt like we were all doing something that we love, and really that’s just what you want it to be.”

There was a sense of normalcy, he said.

“Obviously we care deeply about football, but it was great to see the guys be happy to practice,” Henderson said, “and be happy to be together.”

Powhatan will face six of its Dominion District opponents in the regular season, beginning with perennial powerhouse Bird on Feb. 26. For their home opener, the Indians will host Manchester, who won the 2018 state championship when it was in Class 6, on March 5 at 7 p.m. But as the pandemic continues, the possibility of further changes to the schedule remains.

“We’re going to prepare every week to play,” Henderson said, adding of each game: “We’re going to play it like it might be our last one and we’re going to give it everything we’ve got, and hope the next week we have a chance to do it again.”

“If we can win them all in the process, fantastic,” Brock said, “but I think all of us who are playing, we’re all in the same boat. We’re looking at: it’s a shortened season, and we’re looking at: okay, can we get these kids ready for next year and so forth?”

Junior center Garrett Musselman, sophomore tight end David Mann and senior offensive guard and second team all-state player Zach Miles all return to lead the team up front on the offensive side.

Those three will also contribute their talents to the team’s defensive line, with all three having played on the defensive front in 2019.

Sophomore Jeb Hatfi eld is slated to play at split-end on offense and cornerback on defense. Also coming back is Josh Decker, whom Brock described as a big force for the Knights on offense. Decker last year rushed for about 300 yards at fullback.

“We look for him to help us out quite a bit,” Brock said.

Decker will also return at linebacker on defense.

Will Fichter, a freshman who got playing time last year, has earned his way into a starting position at receiver. Brock said he’s steadily gotten better and developed more both physically and mentally as far as the game goes.

Michael Timmons, who joins Miles as the two seniors on the team, is vying for a spot in the defensive backfi eld, and is also in consideration for one of the kick returner positions.

Standout 6-foot-6 athlete and junior Zander Nadeau, who broke out on the varsity basketball team as a key player in his sophomore season, will move from wide receiver to quarterback this year. Brock pointed to Nadeau’s CASE long arms, quick release and ability to throw the ball pretty well.

The Knights will look to junior Julian Alcazar, who transferred in from the Northern Virginia area, and freshman returner Hunter LEE Case to help them out as running backs. Brock noted of Case: “When he had opportunities (as an eighth grader) to get in there (on the fi eld), he did a really good job, and…he’s gotten bigger and stronger…even as young as he is, he’s got BARRAS a lot of poise, so we’ll see what he can do.”

Sophomores Nathan Roberts and Nathan Barras are projected to play alongside Miles and Musselman on the offensive line, and Barras, who also played on the defensive line last year, is set to join Musselman, Mann and Miles up front on defense.

Returning player and junior Harrison Lee will move from linebacker to safety on defense this year, and junior transfer Gage Smith is projected to contribute both on the defensive line and at linebacker. Brock added that Alcazar and Hatfi eld have solidifi ed themselves at the cornerback positions on defense.

In addition to playing at quarterback, Nadeau will be the team’s punter, which, MILES Brock said, “always puts a little pressure on the defense.” The Knights’ star kicker in 2019, James Hawkins, has graduated, but his younger brother, sophomore Jackson Hawkins, will take over kicking MUSSELMAN duties for BSH. Hatfi eld will continue to be the holder, and Mann will do the snaps for punts, extra points and fi eld goals.

Coach Patrick Winterrowd is also back alongside Coach Brock.

It’s expected at this MANN point that the offense will still primarily run the football, with Brock noting that it will depend on the growth that they have up front. He added that their rookie QB Nadeau has “a lot of potential and he’s got good size, but he hasn’t been in a game situation at all, so it’s going to be defi nitely a growth process with him. He and I have got to be on the same page.”

But Brock added: “I think we’re in pretty good shape when it comes to that; it’s just he’s got to get (that game experience). We’ve been trying to pressure him and do a few things in practice – you’re trying to hurry up everything because, my gosh, you don’t have much time – and we tried to do that, and he looks like he’s up to the task. It’ll be interesting to watch his development this year.”

Brock expects that the defense, featuring linemen and linebackers with experience, will be strong against the run, and then the pass defense, he noted, is going to directly correlate with how much pressure that the defensive front can put on their opponents.

The Knights will face Brunswick Academy on the road twice in their six-game slate, with the fi rst game being moved to Monday, March 1, at 4 p.m. They will also play Fuqua on the road and Kenston Forest at home.

Additionally, they will host two opponents the players have never faced – Southampton Academy and North Carolina-based Halifax Academy – in back-to-back 2 p.m. home games on Feb. 27 and March 6.

But there’s some history with those two teams. Halifax used to be in the old VCC when Brock was at Huguenot Academy, and Southampton is another former rival from years ago.

“That was a regular trip, either (us going) there or them coming to us. It’ll be fun to see that group again, Brock said of Halifax. On Southampton, he added: “It’ll be fun to renew that rivalry right there, see how it goes.”

To Brock, this season will be a successful one if the Knights are able to get out there and play.

“Just getting to play a game is going to be a major victory.”

second period to lead 1-0.

With under a minute to go in the third, Hill got in a takedown to go-ahead 2-1 before he and his opponent went out-ofbounds, but he allowed a point as he chose neutral when he and Hoden returned to the middle.

The match carried into overtime, and with 9 seconds left in the extra period, Hill took down Hoden once again, ending the match in a 4-2 decision and propelling Hill into the fi nal.

He stayed in the mix until the end of his championship match, in which his Eastern View opponent, Griffi n Smythers, prevailed 5-2.

“Linwood making the fi nals I think was huge – a huge way to cap his high school career,” Tanaka said. “We’ve talked a bunch and at length with Linwood about knowing how good he is and then knowing what he’s capable of, and it was just obviously awesome to see it spill over, and him to fi nally punch through the fi nals. At the end of the day, we’ll hang our hat on that.”

Sean Hall concluded a phenomenal high school career by becoming a fourtime top-three state placer. The future Roanoke College wrestler opened his tournament strong, pinning Pulaski County’s Nick Golden in 2:20, but he was dealt a tough loss in the semifi nals as the eventual state champion, Liberty’s Mason Barrett, pulled away from him late to win the match in a 9-2 decision.

Hall wouldn’t lose any more matches after that.

The four-time regional champion took command of his consolation semifi nals match, routing Blacksburg’s Tharun Svetanant in a 9-1 major-decision to rematch Eastern View’s Kadin Smoot, whom Hall had beaten for the regional championship.

Hall registered a takedown right before the end of the fi rst period, then added another in the second to fend off Smoot 4-1 and take third place.

Hayden Fitzsimmons, who was among the fi rst-ever wrestlers in the Blackhawk Powhatan youth wrestling club, was Powhatan’s fi nal wrestler to complete a match on Saturday. The regional champion took third in the 195-pound class with an emotional victory by pinning the same wrestler

year and showcased her talent in shootout situations, will be back in goal and could share time with Bella Hoffman.

Sophomore Kate Adams will step up as a forward on the varsity team, and Rehme expects that Casey Grell will do good things for them at the midfi eld position. Newcomers also include Emily Taylor, Emily Reimondo and Karley Martin.

For this spring, Rehme will coach both the JV and varsity fi eld hockey teams. Varsity head coach Stephanie Tyson is virtual for this school year and will be taking the spring season off, but Rehme said she will be back for the fall season.

Coaching alongside Rehme this spring will be Varna Redlich, who brings fi eld hockey experience to the team, and whom Powhatan coach Jared Rottmund also praised on the girls soccer side.

Weather and the current COVID-19 pandemic have both presented challenges when it’s come to working together in the offseason, but the team has continuously worked to fi nd ways to prepare with one another, like holding workouts via Zoom. Additionally, more than 20 players from Powhatan signed up to play in a Panthers United Field Hockey fall league that opened up this past year when it was found out that the VHSL fall season would be moved to the spring. The league featured competitors from top programs in the region, including Collegiate, Cosby, Midlothian and Trinity Episcopal.

Rehme refereed several of the Panthers league games at the River City Sportsplex this fall.

“I could see the girls, I could see some of the weaknesses that they had, some of the things I felt like we needed to work on as a team,” Rehme said, “and that’s been very, very benefi cial coming into this season: knowing exactly what we need to work on to improve the level of play.”

Several girls from Powhatan have also been participating in the winter league.

“They’ve been putting in the work,” Rehme said. “That’s for sure.”

She praised the team’s energy, enthu-

he had beaten two weeks earlier for the regional title: Courtland’s Charlie Henderson. After the match ended, he embraced his dad, Powhatan wrestling assistant coach and Blackhawk Powhatan youth wrestling program cofounder Richard Fitzsimmons.

Fitzsimmons had pinned Smithfi eld’s James Sessoms in 30 seconds in the fi rst round before he fell to eventual state champion Royce Hall, from Liberty, in the third period of the semifi nals. But from there, Fitzsimmons dominated.

The senior racked up near-falls and takedowns in the consolation semifi nals to rout Amherst County’s Austin Deanda by tech fall, then jumped out to an 8-0 lead over Henderson in his thirdplace match before securing the second-period pin.

Powhatan junior and regional runner-up Dylan Coward (113) broke through for his fi rst state podium fi nish, taking fourth. He bounced back from a fi rst-round loss (a 10-3 decision) to the eventual state champion, Tuscarora’s Robert Philpot, and edged past Loudoun County’s Zach Rios in a 4-2 decision with a third-period takedown in the consolation semifi nals. Coward would ultimately fall to Eastern View’s Elijah Smoot, who was also his regional fi nals opponent, in the second period of the third-place match.

In his state tournament debut, Powhatan sophomore Britton Proffi tt (138), whom Tanaka felt had “improved a bunch throughout the year,” brought home a fourth-place fi nish. He powered his way into the semifi nals by pinning Amherst County’s Seth Justice in 1:38, but fell to eventual state champion Colin Dupill, from Liberty, in a 10-3 decision to move to the consolation semifi nals. Proffi tt bounced back by pinning Pulaski County’s Parker Midkiff before taking a 7-2 loss by decision to Dominion’s Santiago Pena in the third-place match.

Powhatan junior Cade Van Buskirk (145), also making his state tournament debut, placed sixth in his weight class. He bounced back from a 9-5 fi rst-round loss to Blacksburg’s Logan Eberhardt by pinning Grafton’s Hyder Richardson in 29 seconds. Van Buskirk wrestled a wild, back-and-forth match with Salem’s Kyman Kinney, but narrowly missed making the third-place match when Kinney got in a last-second, match-winning takedown in regulation. Van Buskirk went on to wrestle in the fi fth-place match, with Eberhardt winning it by pin.

As a team, Powhatan took sixth place in the state tournament. Liberty won the team championship, Eastern View took runner-up honors and Loudoun County placed third. Amherst County and Smithfi eld rounded out the top fi ve.

“In a weird year like this, obviously we had higher goals, but at the same time, it is what it is,” Tanaka said. “We didn’t get the job done, but it doesn’t change the way we feel about our guys. I love our guys. I love our seniors. It doesn’t change what they’ve done the last four years and the legacy that they’re going to leave for our program.

“I hope that they take as much pride in that as we do,” Tanaka said, “because we’re super-happy and proud of them.”

siasm and speed, as well as the players’ fi tness level. She also expects the players to get better at those attributes as the season progresses.

“It’s a great bunch of girls – they really are super,” Rehme said of the players. “The amount of girls that we have had come out this year and be at everything – we ran conditioning three weeks prior to the season starting, had over 30-something girls there…the enthusiasm I see is really fun. I leave practices feeling excited and happy and looking forward to getting the actual season started with games.”

As for what the team is looking to improve upon as the season goes on, Rehme said the players “have the skill, they know how to do it – it’s a matter of getting them to increase the speed at which they do it, and that’s really what we’re focusing on.”

Rehme also noted that the team is still young in areas, and that they need to learn to work together. Some of the players are in new positions, so their goals will include adapting to those positions and working with the girls around them.

As of Thursday, the girls had yet to step onto a fi eld, but they’ve been able to use the tennis courts, which Rehme said has been advantageous for them when it comes to working on their speed and executing their drills with speed.

She added that Powhatan Athletic Director Tim Llewellyn and their school leaders “have been very supportive of us,” and that they’ve allowed the team to rent a fi eld at River City this Wednesday so that the players can get in a practice on a full fi eld before their fi rst game, which will be this coming Monday versus Midlothian at 7 p.m.

Rehme noted that if the players are able to compete in all of their games on the schedule and stay healthy, this year would be considered a successful one.

“We’re thankful for every game we do get to play.”

While Powhatan High School is currently in the hybrid model, the players across the JV and varsity levels are at practice at every day, and Rehme praised the parents for making it happen.

“I have a ton of eighth graders, so the parents have to work hard to get the girls there. We couldn’t do it without them,” Rehme said. “It takes a village.”

Powhatan Middle School student-athlete William Blashfield earned three top-eight finishes in the Central District 9-12 year-old championships.

Blashfi eld earns 3 top-8’s at Central District championships

Contributed Report

William Blashfi eld, an 11-year-old studentathlete at Powhatan Middle School, represented his USA Swimming team, Poseidon Swimming, at the Central District 9-12 year-old championships at NOVA of Virginia Aquatics, held Friday, Feb. 12 - Monday, Feb. 15 (Friday - Monday).

After aging up in the fall, Blashfi eld swam in eight individual events over the three-day period in the 11-12 age group. He earned three topeight fi nishes and earned Age Group Qualifying times in both the 50-yard and 100-yard backstroke events. He swam fi fth in the 200 back in 2:28.72, seventh in the 50 back in 31.67 and eighth in the 100 back in 1:08.78.

All-in-all, Blashfi eld recorded personal bests in seven of the individual events in which he competed, including the three in which he earned topeight placements. He also set personal records in the 50 butterfl y (32.30), the 100 individual medley (1:13.59), the50 freestyle (29.32) and the 200 IM (2:39.87).

He fi nished the meet scoring 38 points for his Poseidon team, which fi nished in third place behind NOVA of Virginia Aquatics and Quest Swimming.

In a year where sports throughout the country have been partially or fully sidelined by the COVID-19 pandemic, Virginia swimmers have been very lucky to be in the water, some as early as last June (while many swimmers in the U.S. only started back in the fall and some even later), and to be able to train much less compete safely.

No relays were held due to proximity restrictions, and no spectators were allowed other than offi cials and coaches. There were also no fi nals. Preliminaries were treated as fi nals. Swim meets, including this one, have been livestreamed much of the season.

Blashfi eld will go on to participate in the VSI Age Group Champs at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center in Christiansburg (March 11-14), where he will compete in the 50 back and 100 back.
