Richard Cox to retire as commonwealth’s attorney

By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – Richard “Dickie” Cox has announced his retirement as the Powhatan County Commonwealth’s Attorney effective Aug. 1, closing out 23 years serving in the office in various positions.

Cox made the announcement on Thursday, May 12 in an email to local county officials and the Powhatan Today that “serving with you for the wonderful people of Powhatan has been (an) honor and a blessing but it’s time for me to pass the torch.” Rob Cerullo, who is the deputy commonwealth’s attorney, will become the interim commonwealth’s attorney until a special election can be held.

Cox’s more than four decades in public service saw him working nine years as a police officer in Chesterfield County until he went to law school and became an attorney. Except for three years in the U.S. Army with the 82nd Airborne division right out of high school and one year in private practice, the entire rest of his

School board hears update on preschool center proposal

By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

POWHATAN – The Powhatan County School Board received an update on possible options they may consider if they decide to consolidate the division’s preschool programs into a single location.

During the meeting on Tuesday, May 10, the board heard a presentation from Jason Tibbs, director of facilities, and Lynn Clayton-Prince, assistant superintendent for special education/equity and diversity, on a

proposal to house a combined preschool center at the Pocahontas Landmark Center.

Powhatan County Public Schools currently has nine preschool classes spread between its three elementary schools. They are comprised of one Head Start, three Early Childhood Special Education and five Virginia Preschool Initiative classrooms.

Dr. Eric Jones, superintendent, pointed out in a fall 2021 discussion about the center that the division’s three elementary schools are nearing capacity. By removing the preschool classes from each school and putting them in the landmark center, it would offer the double advantage of having the program housed together in one place and freeing up capacity at the elementary schools to stave off the need to build a new school.

PCPS staff has been gathering information to understand the needs of the preschool programs, the scope of the project as a result, the costs depending on the different options the board is asked to consider, and the timeline necessary to have it open in time for the 2023-2024 school year.

On May 10, Tibbs and Clayton-Prince presented the school board with the findings of their research to date, including offering two possible options to consider, but said that, based on those findings, they can’t offer updated projected costs of the project until they do further evaluation of the property’s existing conditions.

While the school board has seemed cautiously supportive of the idea of a preschool in previous discussions, it has not formally voted to move forward with a plan. At last week’s meeting, chair Kim Hymel, who repsee PRESCHOOL, pg. 4

The graduates are Katy Castillo, Katie Baker, Selenia Capatti, Shaylyn Patterson, Mariah Dalton, Kameron Creasey, Kristen Goodman, Sydney Gaskin and Ari Taylor. Gaskin and Taylor are also currently students at Powhatan High School.

“This particular group was special to me because we started out with more students and, through the omicron variant of COVID, these were the remaining students that decided to stay with the program and complete it.

I was extremely proud of them for their determination and hard work,” Hitt said.

About 55 people attended the May 3 graduation ceremony held for nine Powhatan School of Dental Assisting students.

The ceremony included a few other recognitions. Kristen Taylor earned the highest GPA award. The Margaret Spurlock Scholarship went to Katie Baker. Volunteer of the Year for the Powhatan Dental Outreach Foundation went to Selenia Capatti.

Hitt pointed out that her program draws a variety of people with various experiences. She has students who are working full-time jobs and have

children and recent high school graduates ready to get into the workforce as quickly as possible.

“Some use it as a stepping stone to (dental) hygiene school to see if they like the dental field before investing in a two- to fouryears college course and can work as a dental assistant before or during hygiene school,” she said.

Attracting students who are seeking those kinds of opportunities is important to Hitt, who

started the school Aug. 27, 2016. She initially created the school for single mothers, influenced by her own past. Hitt said she became a single mother when her husband died and she was raising two children while working and taking courses to keep her teaching license maintained.

When she later remarried, she shared with her husband the idea of offering a dental assisting class at night “so single moms

resents District 5, wanted to know how much money had been spent on the project thus far despite it not having formal board approval. Valarie Ayers, District 3, requested a committee that includes parents, all preschool teachers (instead of a representative from each program) and a school board member to offer input.

“I mentioned the last time you reported that the board has not voted on this to do this, and I am really concerned that it seems to be moving straight way ahead and we haven’t even voted on it yet,” Hymel said during the discussion after the presentation.

Tibbs said the only money expended have been for the design services they presented last week, which was funded through the facilities operating budget.

Jones added that some money has to be expended to provide the board members with the information they

need to make an informed decision.

“If the board doesn’t want us to continue down this path and this isn’t something they want to do, then if you let us know that, we will stop,” Jones said. “But we have to include architects and other professionals in order to get accurate pricing on what it is going to cost that we think the board would want to know in order to move forward with this. But no decision has been made; we are just gathering information and presenting it to the board as an option and that’s it.”

James Taylor III, District 4, suggested staff bring back the numbers in August and the board members being prepared to make a decision to either move forward on the project or scrap it. Either way, he said, it is time to make a decision.

“I do believe all of us would agree that our county is going to continue to grow, we are going to need more school space in the future. So we have this space, we have to decide what to do with it, so let’s be prepared in August to make that decision,” he said.

Ayers amended that request, saying she didn’t think they had to make a decision the same night they received the information, but it should come soon after.

Cole said it is going to depend on the cost of the project as well as possible discussions with the board of supervisors. Both he and Taylor said that if they move forward, they need to have the right justification to get people to support the idea.

two options offered to the board last week.

The main difference between the two options is that Option 2 shows an expansion further into what is now the existing finance department of the school division.

This would mean potential staff reallocations in the building to somewhere else in the building.

Cole said he was concerned about taking space away from the finance staff but recognized it is not an immediate problem they have to consider.

In regard to faciltiies, Cole mentioned talking to the county about using the gym building at times, and Ayers asked about a library.

Tibbs said teachers talked about classroom libraries and incorporating as much as they can within the classrooms. The teachers also were clear they do not want fixed storage options; they want mobile storage they can reconfigure to have a more flexible space.

One of the big unknowns as far as the timeline and cost of the project is that staff does not know exactly where the existing building’s wastewater lines are located. With a bathroom in each classroom, there would need to be a line down that hallway. Tibbs said he will bring a mechanical engineer out to evaluate the property.

“Once we get that information, we are hoping to have budget numbers for you to review in August so that you can have a budget number for Option 1 and a budget number for Option 2,” he said. “That would allow the new superintendent and incoming staff an opportunity to understand the project, get to know what the project is, understand the conversations that we have been having, as well as be able to look at funding sources. Because this project, either way you slice it, is going to be a pretty extensive project.”

He added that tunneling down the main hallway to put in a wastewater line and connect it to the other rooms would be a hefty expense, and certainly more than the $467,874 in construction costs the board saw at a presentation in the fall.

“Those numbers were broad brush if we were to model what we did in this section of the building,” he said, referring to the renovated sections of the landmark center.

If the school board likes what it sees and agrees and the right funding streams are available, it could potentially approve the project in the fall so construction can begin in time to have the center open in time for fall 2023, Tibbs said.

While Tibbs did not feel comfortable offering preliminary budget numbers at this time given the amount of unknowns, Jones reminded the board they have $265,000 in federal grants currently earmarked for the project as well as the school board’s capital maintenance reserve plan as a potential revenue source.

Preschool center Between feedback from PCPS preschool program employees and visiting other preschool centers, Tibbs said they came away with key features that needed to be factored into renovating part of the B wing to make room for a preschool center.

Chief among those was restrooms and student sinks in each classroom; a clinic; related services pull-out space (occupational therapists, physical therapy and speech therapy); administration/clerical office space, a teacher workroom and utilization of the cafeteria.

The cafeteria is currently being used by the Powhatan Christmas Mother program. Jones said that since the program uses the room most heavily in certain times of the year, he believes they could work out an arrangement to use part of the space for lunches most of the school year and other options when it is already in use.

Other factors they were asked to consider after examination of the space include the location of the playground with regard to proximity to the building; perimeter fencing, and expansion possibilities as they relate to the Pocahontas Landmark Center building.

The question of expansion was addressed with the

Middle school’s Student Showcase highlights hard work PHOTOS BY LAURA MCFARLAND

Powhatan Middle School held a Student Showcase on April 28 to offer an event so parents could see samples of their student’s amazing work and interact with their teachers. The event was planned by the administration team, who were particularly excited to host their first big event open to parents since March 2020. The showcase also served the dual purpose of allowing fifth graders and their parents to visit the middle school so they could explore the building they will be attending next school year and view student work. Displays and presentations were set up all throughout the school, highlighting English, math, history, science, music, computer technology, world languages, health and PE, art, agriscience and other special subject areas. Some sixth and seventh grade U.S. History classes piloted projects for National History Day. This was a year-long research project that culminated in the presentation of their research, exhibited in the commons on display boards. Some middle school students volunteered to serve as tour guides as well as presenters.

ley until he became a General District Court Judge in the 11th Judicial District.

Cox was appointed interim to the position in December 2014 and ran successfully in one special election in 2015 and two general elections in 2015 and 2019.

With his announcement last week, Cox becomes the fifth local official elected in the November 2019 General Election to leave office before the current four-year term is finished.

Cox said in a separate interview last week that he always felt like he would know when it was time to retire, and as he approached age 65, he decided that time is now. He added he wants to enjoy the life he has earned.

“I have worked since I was 18 years old without a break, so I am ready to take one and enjoy my wife, my kids, my grandkids and my many hobbies,” Cox said. “I feel like I have fulfilled my obligation as an elected official, and I have the most competent person in place to take my position. I can guarantee the people of Powhatan County he won’t skip a beat when it comes to the process of prosecuting cases.

“If I felt at all I was leaving the county in some kind of pinch I wouldn’t leave,

but I don’t feel that is the case at all,” he added.

In addition to Cerullo, who has worked in the office since 2015, Tim Dustan is the assistant commonwealth’s attorney. Cerullo said he wants to have the third position in the office filled as soon as possible after Cox retires.

“In the meantime, Tim and I will do extra duty to cover all that until we find the appropriate fit,” he said.

Cerullo added he has known Cox for 30 years. In that time, Cox has been the best commonwealth’s attorney he has worked with, said Cerullo, going all the way back to when he was a police officer and Cox was an assistant commonwealth’s attorney in Chesterfield County.

“To be a good commonwealth’s attorney, it is much, much more than prosecuting cases. You need to know which cases to prosecute, which cases not to prosecute,” Cerullo said. “You need to know how to successfully prosecute a case that you do decide to prosecute and what other resolution you can come up with on a case that the facts call for.”

He added that one reason he respects Cox so much is that the latter was always fair and honest in his dealings.

“Above everything in this job, the most important thing is you have to be fair. Now, we can disagree on what being

CONCERT C SERIES

fair is, but there is a general basis or bottom line fairness, and Dickie has always been scrupulous in upholding that standard in himself, and that is what makes him a great prosecutor,” Cerullo said.

After his announcement last week, Cox said he has received a hugely positive response from other elected officials, colleagues, law enforcement and judges that was a little overwhelming but made him feel good about his career.

“When I look back – maybe I look at it a little differently than most people – I look back at all the friendships I’ve made and all the relationships I have in law enforcement and how much of a positive influence that has had on me to make me a better person,” he said. “I just feel like I’ve kind of evolved over the years. When you are a young prosecutor, I think your focus may be more on the prosecution side of it and, as time has gone on and the way the world has changed, the focus there is still the prosecution side and the punishment side.

“But I truly think the focus has shifted much more to the rehabilitation side and what can you do to put people more on the right track,” he added.

Being first a police officer and then working in commonwealth’s attorney’s offices, Cox said he has seen some terrible things and it has been tough at times.

He couldn’t have gotten through those times without an amazing support system, chief among them his family. He said his wife, Patti, truly kept him in check and “never let me get too big for my britches because she would put me in my place. I think a lot of people could use that when they get in apposition of authority; it is good to have a check.”

“I will say I never took my work home. I don’t go home and tell my family what I see because why in the world would I put that on anybody? They don’t need it,” he said. “But I still got that support from them because I knew they were there. I think that is what made me strong.”

From the first day that he started working in Powhatan, Cox said he felt welcome, and he is leaving feeling the same way.

“I never felt anything but comfort and welcoming by the people I work with and the people of Powhatan. They have been totally supportive of me my entire career,” he said. “Quite frankly, I felt a little odd because when you are in a big jurisdiction like Chesterfield it is just a whole different atmosphere. I was much more suited with this atmosphere because I was raised a country boy and definitely fit in with the Powhatan crowd.”

The good kind of busy was sorely missed

By Laura McFarland Managing Editor

T

his spring is bringing a good kind of busy to Powhatan County.

Every weekend since I took some time off for Easter has been filled with community activities that have appealed to a wide variety of audiences, and trying to get to as many as possible has been a balancing act.

But it is a good kind of busy, because the alternative is an isolation we know all too well and have no desire to experience again.

In just under a month, I have gotten to stop and visit at least 15 open community events, every one of them representing something fun and special about life in Powhatan County. Most of them were returning after a year or two off, and having them back is a treat.

Some were celebrations of food and music, or a combination of the two, such as the 46th annual Powhatan Lions Club Steer Roast, Blessed Sacrament Huguenot’s Beef and Music Festival, the first Village Vibe concert (the Jangling Rhineharts concert has been rescheduled to June 24), and Powhatan Family Moose Center’s Powhatan Seafood Festival. All of them offered a great time out to socialize with others

POLLINATORS Continued from pg. 1

spearheaded the project as part of his requirements to become a certified master naturalist.

Planting the milkweed in as visible a place as a state park served multiple purposes, key among them helping the ecosystem there and offering educational opportunities to people wanting to learn about the life cycles of butterflies, Jergenson said. He even hopes it might inspire a few people to create their own pollinator gardens to help address the problem of severe drops in numbers of the pollinators.

“I would like people to come and visit and see what milkweed looks like, how it grows and if it might be acceptable for their home,” he said. “While they are here they can learn about monarchs and their life cycle and how it is dependent upon different types of milkweed, how they complete their life cycles there and then do the great migration south for the winter and then come back and start the cycle over again.

“The environmental purpose is to maintain a diverse habitat, because so much of what is happening with our insects, birds and other animals is we are losing them because of loss of their native or natural habitat,” he continued.

“We are trying as master naturalists to monitor the situation, change what we can change and hope for the best.”

Eleven volunteers came out to help plant the milkweed in groupings spread out over a 2-acre space on a drizzly Friday morning.

Sarah Reilly of Powhatan and her 14-year-old son Sam, both James River Master Naturalists, helped plant the milkweed to do their part in providing a habitat for monarch butterflies.

“It is such an interesting and charismatic species, and so easy to help really,” she said. “…The milkweed are going to be much happier here. Hopefully they will spread and take over the field.”

Joan Golden of Powhatan, another

ing the monarch caterpillar, we are supporting any of the insect community that uses this plant in many different ways, which in turn supports the birds in the park. So, it is a real ecosystem booster.”

Girgente said she also loves the educational opportunities the pollinator garden will provide. She believes the master naturalists will use it as a living classroom and she intends to do the same for park visitors coming to interpretive programs.

“Visitors can come on their own and see this or they can come through an interpretive program. It is great for teaching kids not only about the life cycle of insects but also about just general ecology and how the different facets work together. I just think it is a wonderful thing the master naturalists are doing,” she said.

(where I may or may not have surprised a few people by joining the dancers in doing The Wobble).

And to top it all off, the Powhatan County Fair, despite having rain put a damper on the festivities, still drew a few thousand people out for rides, highly unhealthy foods, shows, shopping, a petting zoo, historic life demonstrators, and more.

On a personal note, my mom came for a quick visit over the weekend and went with me to visit the fair. She really wanted to take a ride on the Ferris wheel, and it offered an excellent aerial view of the fair lit up at night, which was beautiful combined with the bright clear skies under a full moon.

Whether they drew a few dozen people or a few thousand people, every one of these events was a welcome return to some aspect of life in Powhatan County that was sorely needed. All of these events – and so many more I couldn’t make it out to cover – represent aspects of our community worth celebrating.

They represent our capacity for caring, joy, wonder, learning, growing, laughing, dancing, playing, creating, cooking and shopping (that last one can be a little dangerous).

In the end, I guess what I am really trying to say is – it’s good to be back!

member who came to help, said she loves the field work and getting out with fellow nature lovers. She is trying to plant her own native plants for pollinators at her home in Powhatan and was excited to think about visitors to the state park who may get inspired as well.

“It’s hard work but it feels good to be out here and doing work for the environment,” she said.

Jergenson got the milkweed by applying through a nonprofit education, conservation and research program called Monarch Watch. He had to apply and meet certain requirements, but as part of the program he received milkweed grown in the area, which makes it more likely to survive.

“The plants have to be adapted to our area – so our climate, our ecosystem.

You have the most success if you plant pollinator plants that are from your area,” he said.

Jergenson applied for the funds last fall and only learned about 10 days ahead of time that he was a recipient. He said he was happy to be chosen but a little stressed trying to organize volunteers on short notice to come and help with the planting.

The James River Master Naturalists have actually tried planting a pollinator garden in the past, but the area was overtaken by Johnsongrass, said Diane Girgente, a member of the group and volunteer and events coordinator for Powhatan State Park. Jergenson was in the master naturalists’ latest graduating class and wanted to try again, and the park was more than happy to welcome the effort.

Anything that helps the ecosystem helps the park also, and that is one of the most important missions of the park, even before recreation, she said.

“We are trying to help the pollinators – all pollinators really but this one is specifically aimed at monarchs. There are many other insects that pollinate and feed off the milkweed, so that is sort of a bonus with this type of planting as well,” Girgente said. “We are not only support-

in the community and stuff yourself with good food.

Some of the events were about speaking to much larger issues in the world, whether that was Powhatan’s Earth Day Celebration promoting taking care of the earth; the Powhatan High School Leftovers Club holding its wildly entertaining and colorful Color-aCure Run/Walk to help the fight against cancer, or two groups combining their National Day of Prayer events to pray for those issues and so much more.

We had the events that showcased what Powhatan residents have to offer, whether it was the return of the weekly Powhatan Farmers Market every Thursday (a new one was also added every Saturday at Independence Golf Course); a Powhatan Makers Market with some truly lovely goods to stretch your wallet; local and visiting residents showing off their vehicles at the Powhatan Cruizers 20th Anniversary Car Show, or competitors demonstrating what they could do at the Keystone Antique Truck and Tractor Pull, which also raised money for the Coalition of Powhatan Churches.

You also had a few events that didn’t fit into a certain category, such as Powhatan High School’s fantastic production of ‘Clue’; the enthusiastically-received grand opening of the new outdoor pickleball courts at the Powhatan Landmark Center, and the amazingly fun Miracle Prom 2022 for adults with special needs

Powhatan Pollinator Protectors On the other side of Powhatan, the monarch butterfly garden at Flat Rock Elementary School is still making progress. The garden was started and is being cared for by a group of Powhatan High School students called the Powhatan Pollinator Protectors. The students have been receiving service hours through Virginians for Conservation and Community Rights (VCCR) by working on the garden.

Victoria Ronnau, VCCR executive director, said the garden has been coming along steadily since the teens, with help from volunteers, began preparing the ground in summer 2021. They planted some bulb plants in the fall in the 20-by-8-foot plot to have spring blooms and have been growing milkweed from seed at home so it can be transplanted into the garden in midsummer.

The high schoolers are excited about the educational opportunities they can provide to Flat Rock students and teachers, who can visit it to observe the different stages of growth and learn about life cycles in very real ways, Ronnau said.

Doug Jergenson removes topsoil and weeds to make room to plant milkweed in a pollinator garden at Powhatan State Park.

Between the plants and decorations they want to add to beautify the garden, Ronnau hopes it will be full and sustainable by the end of summer for the monarchs to lay eggs there.

“It is twofold for me of why we need to do this. You keep hearing the monarchs are threatened and there are different reasons for that,” Ronnau said. “At first you think it is all about pesticides.

Actually it is bigger than that. It is nonnative predators that are coming in as well. The milkweed itself is also becoming very difficult to find.”

It is important to raise awareness, she added, that monarch butterfly numbers are dwindling, and people can help through efforts like planting pollinator gardens.

“They are projecting the monarchs will be gone in 20 years completely, and that is a shame. I think it is just a small piece of something we can do in recognizing the bigger picture that we need to protect and conserve our natural resources as much as we can,” she said. directly call the Powhatan County Extension at 804-598-5640 and leave a message. The Help Desk will be in touch.

Girls lacrosse rides chemistry to unbeaten season

By Zach Joachim Richmond Times-Dispatch

C

lose chemistry among plenty of multi-sport athletes was the defining strength entering this season for coach Laura Camp’s Powhatan girls lacrosse program, and those bonds have propelled the Indians to an 11-0 record with a 216-38 goal differential and two games remaining on the schedule.

“These girls, they’re friends on an off the field,” Camp said Wednesday ahead of a matchup with Patrick Henry (4-6).

“Playing multiple sports with each other really helps with that chemistry. They bring the chemistry from one sport to the other, and that has definitely helped with our success this season,” she said.

Powhatan has defeated every opponent by doubledigit goal margins except one – traditional local power Atlee (8-3), who the Indians beat 11-10 on March 24 after leading most of the way then holding out through a late Raiders rally.

“That was a really big win for us,” Camp said of the Atlee victory. “Knowing they’re such a strong program with a lot of strong players, it was a true test for our team to compete at that level. ... The kids all rose to the occasion.”

With quite a few year-round lacrosse players mixed in with some all-around athletes who excel at multiple sports, Camp knew going into the year it had the potential to be a special season. The Indians returned nine starters from a 9-2 2021 squad.

Around 60% of Powhatan’s goals have been assisted this season, a stat indicative of a cohesive attack, which Camp lauded.

“We don’t have just one or two players that are threats, all of them are,” she said. “So many of our players will play different positions and fill the gaps for what’s needed, they are all flexible and excited to do whatever job I ask them to. That’s so rewarding as a coach, to have players who are so willing and positive no matter what position it is.”

Senior captains Jordan Krauss (attack) and Kendal McMullin (midfield) have provided key leadership, Krauss is the “control center” of the offense with 85 career assists and McMullin anchors the midfield.

Junior Sam Flippo and sophomore Grace Hayden have been vital in defense, as has junior Taylor Fitzsimmons. Sophomore defender Casey Grell “has really stepped up,” Camp said.

Powhatan sophomore pitcher Madalyn Johnson (left) celebrates closing out an intense battle against Clover Hill alongside senior second baseman Emma Phillips in the seventh inning on May 12. The 2-1 win pushes Powhatan’s record to 13-4 as they make a late push for better seeding in the upcoming regional tournament.

Indians top Chiefs at home

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

There are few teams in the Dominion District that can force the Powhatan Indians softball team into a defensive duel.

The Clover Hill Cavaliers are one of them.

After two fifth-inning runs helped the Cavs slip past the Indians in a highstakes 3-1 win on April 12, the Indians got their revenge in their second meeting on May 12 thanks in part to an outstanding pitching performance from sophomore Madalyn Johnson alongside her Powhatan fielders.

The 2-1 victory pushes

Powhatan’s record to 13-4, placing them neck and neck with the Cavaliers in the standings, who now drop to 13-3. With the regular season winding down, the Indians win has major seeding implications in the regional tournament.

“I think we take it game-to-game, but we definitely wanted to beat Clover Hill because we lost last time and they’re a great team so we just had to come with our A-game,” Johnson said.

For her part, Johnson was dynamic on the rubber, striking out 11 batters while allowing just four hits against a frustrated Cavaliers team that just

couldn’t develop any hitting momentum. She says a lot of the credit goes to her fielders making plays when the ball was hit as well as her accurate riseball that multiple Clover Hill batters struggled to adjust to.

“I was just trusting my pitches honestly,” she said.

“I knew if they hit it, we were going to make a play so I was just trusting what I was going to do.”

On offense, the Indians finished with nine hits led by a terrific three-hit outing from senior Savannah Johnson, who had three singles.

Powhatan scored both of its runs in its first at-

tempts at-bat, with the opening score coming from an RBI single courtesy of Madalyn Johnson that sent senior Carsen Hogston home for an early 1-0 advantage. After two straight singles from Savannah Johnson and Emma Phillips, sophomore MacKenzie Flora scored Powhatan’s final run on a wild play that saw senior Joy Johnson reach base on a fly ball while Clover Hill’s defense completed a double play when Phillips and Savannah Johnson went for home base.

While the Indians didn’t score another run, their defense put on a clinsee INDIANS, pg. 3B

Powhatan’s 2022 senior class of boys soccer players have had a tendency of making things look easy on the field, but their journey to get to this level of team success has been anything but easy.

Facing a shortened season due to COVID-19 and a rebuilding season that had its share of ups and downs, the six seniors on the roster have used every experience to lead the way to one of Powhatan’s most impressive regular seasons

in school history.

This class, head coach Willie Miles says, has set the bar extremely high for the program, and it’s clear to see what he means after the team’s 2-2 tie against James River and its 3-0 senior night win over Clover Hill last Tuesday and Thursday, respectively.

“They set the bar and see where the bar needs to be through resilience and tougher seasons, and it just shows how outstanding of a class they are,” he said.

James River — one of the best teams in the state with an 11-0 record enter-

ing the matchup — allowed just six goals all season heading into their second matchup with Powhatan. Three of those goals can be credited to the Indians in their 5-3 loss to the Rapids on April 21.

While most teams have struggled containing a Rapids offense that scored two goals or less just twice all season, the Indians managed to do just that, holding the undefeated Rapids to two goals that came off corner kicks.

Powhatan boys lacrosse sends seniors off with win

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

With the season winding down and the district standings starting to take shape, the Powhatan boys lacrosse team had a mustwin matchup against Monacan on senior night.

With the lights bright, the stands packed and the seniors looking to impress in front of their family and friends, the Indians delivered in a crucial 14-7 victory that pushed them to a 6-6 record.

In their first meeting on March 28, the Indians won 10-3 for their third win of the season. While the result was the same, the Indians offense had even more success attacking the defensive zone this time around, resulting in their seventh double-digit scoring outing of the season. Only their performances against L.C. Bird and Clover Hill resulted in higher score counts.

Powhatan had five players score multiple goals, led by senior Hayden Somerville’s four-goal, two-assist performance at the front of the attack.

Consistently acting as one of the team’s top scoring threats this year, the star senior has seen two brothers walk across the field for senior night, and when it was his time to shine, he played an all-

around outstanding game.

“I’ve watched both of them walk across the field for their senior night and, to me, that didn’t seem like too long ago, so I felt a sense of disbelief that it was my turn to walk for senior night,” he said. “It meant a lot to win the senior night game for me because it will be the last time I step on that field as a player, and I’m very proud of our team and how they have started to come together as our chemistry gets better with each other.”

Powhatan also had a three-goal, four-assist effort from junior Paxton Sloan, while seniors Davis Bean and Slater Smith as well as junior Connor Walters added two goals apiece.

Sloan was a constant thorn in the sides of the Chiefs, throwing six shots at the net and finding creative ways as a playmaker to get the defense out of sorts and frustrated.

Somerville and Walters were close behind with five shots on net as well.

The other seniors honored before the game were Adam Camp, Asher Timberlake, Connor Jeffs and Connor Barrett, with Barrett saying he was happy he and his teammates were able to set a positive example for the underclassmen that will

one day be carrying the torch in their own senior seasons.

“It’s sad, but at the same time, I’m happy to lead and pave the way for the younger generation and sort of show them what it is to be a part of Powhatan lacrosse,” Barrett said. “I’ve never been on a team where effort meant this much and you never stop trying.”

This class of seniors has been one that’s been together far longer than just their high school days, with most of them playing together as early as little league.

That long-developing chemistry and team camaraderie has been vital to Powhatan’s overall success this season.

“The connection we have is immaculate as we know how each other play so we are able to tell what one another is going to do on the field and get them the ball or get out of their way, it has almost turned into muscle memory,” Somerville said.

“So for all of us to be dialed in with each other, it has helped out this year tremendously.”

As the regular season comes to a close, the Indians have a chance to stand apart from the rest of a competitive Dominion District in the regional tournament.

The Indians are one of five teams in the district with at least seven wins,

and Somerville believes they have the chemistry and overall firepower to potentially make a serious run at the regional title.

“The mindset is to definitely get as far as pos-

sible and just play the games as if there aren’t any other. That way we play the way we want to and not on our toes or scared,” he said. “The more this team plays together, our chemistry

grows thicker, so I’m hoping we will all be able to come together to pull off something great.”

Freshman Wallace developing fast for Indians tennis Contributed Report For Powhatan Today

Powhatan freshman Jamison Wallace – a freshman on the team – has quickly developed into one of the team’s top contributors, following in the footsteps of senior Jacob Pfab as the team’s No. 1 player.

Fans and players of Indian Nation have enjoyed watching the team’s twoheaded hydra devastate their opponents’ best player, leaving them totally bewildered in the process.

It becomes as simple as good news when Pfab is not in the lineup and bad news when Wallace is his replacement.

“It’s been nice hitting with him in practice; we’ve become friends over this season,” Wallace said of his teammate.

Goochland’s Evan Bernstine is the only player to have solved the puzzle of

can play anywhere. Two freshmen, Caroline Camp and Erica Krauss, are strong on the draw and have provided scoring threats. Junior lefty attacker Kate Adams has a great crease roll and excels at picking out teammates. Junior attackers Carly Rehme, Sophie Payne, Hannah Johnson and Hunter King have contributed going forward.

Freshman Chloe Holt has come up from junior varsity mid-season and excelled quickly. And ju-

the dynamic rising star, winning both singles and fighting through match point to win the doubles in their season-opening matchup on March 15.

Wallace went through some growing pains against Bernstein in that battle, with Wallace learning about the reigning state champion’s impressive forehand delivery and veteran savvy firsthand.

“Some of the games were close despite it being 8-0, but I was putting it in perspective,” Wallace said.

“He’s a state champion and I had to take it and move on.”

As with Sir William Wallace, or “Braveheart,” Wallace came out of that battle stronger, more resilient and ready for any competition sent his way.

“His progress has made him competitive for both positions,” head coach Lee Kelley said. “If he keeps working hard and inspiring his teammates, the

nior Jessie Fens is “a great communicator” in goal, guiding the defensive alignments in front of her, and fellow junior Lily Marshall has also seen time between the posts.

The Indians conclude their regular season Thursday against Mechanicsville (2-8) before a week of preparation for regionals, where the top four teams from the east and west are aligned on opposite sides of the bracket.

A potential Powhatan and Atlee rematch could come in the region semifinals with a berth in the state tournament on the line.

Powhatan freshman tennis player Jamison Wallace delivers a serve in a home matchup against the Monacan Chiefs on March 29. Wallace holds an 11-2 record in his singles matchups this year.

Powhatan parents and fans will enjoy watching great tennis for years.”

With an 11-2 record in his matches, 21-3 set record and scoring difference of 133-43 in his

games in singles, Wallace has proven to be ahead of schedule with his development on the courts.

“Jamison’s 11-2 singles record is not perfect, but stepping into the top sin-

gles position has been great for the team,” Kelley said.

In his doubles matchups with Pfab, he’s had just one loss this year, providing the star senior a

smart counterpart throughout the season. Still, Kelley believes splitting them up helps lift the play of their teammates, providing a more balanced Indians attack across the board.

“When they play together they are tough to beat, but sometimes splitting them is the only chance for a team win,” Kelley said.

While Pfab is preparing for his final states run as a Powhatan player, Wallace still has plenty of time to not only continue his development, but give the Indians a true rising star to build around once Pfab eventually leaves for the college game.

With a 6-7 record and a date with the 11-2 Cosby Titans on Wednesday, May 18, the Indians have a chance to pull off some major upsets in part due to the ability of their up-andcoming freshman, who has shown remarkable skill in his debut season.

BSH soccer season ends in conference semifinals

By Robby Fletcher Sports Editor

The Blessed SacramentHuguenot Knights soccer season came to a close this past week, as the talented group fell in the conference semifinals to Isle of Wight, a team that has won all three matchups over BSH this year.

Before the semifinals rematch, the Knights did record one of their most intense wins of the season when they finished off Southampton Academy’s season in a penalty shootout to advance to the semifinals.

After a goal by senior forward Stephen Dinora in the eighth minute, the Knights got an own goal in their favor to start the second half with a 2-0 advantage. Two penalty kick goals in four minutes from Southampton tied the game up and forced overtime, but neither team was able to take the lead during two

overtime periods.

During the nail-biting shootout, senior goalie Tyler Jenkins saved two shots and saw two more miss the net as senior Kenny Hickey scored the winning shot to advance the Knights in a dramatic finish that saw the entire team rush together in celebration.

The Knights had some

last-minute preparation for the shootout that proved advantageous, as head coach Patrick Winterrowd said the team used time in their last practice of the season to set the penalty kick lineups while getting some practice reps under that type of pressure.

“It was very fortuitous because we set our PK line-

Jenkins made the second team. Hawkins was also named to the All-Academic team.

For the conference tournament, Hawkins, Dinora and Nick Hickey all made it on the All-Tournament squad.

Finishing second in the regular season standings with a 10-3-1 record, the Knights’ season sends off six seniors and sees multiple returning core members of what was a solid contender.

Hawkins will undoubtedly step into a senior leadership role as the team’s leading playmaker, while Nick Hickey will look to carry over his success as the team’s second-leading goal-scorer into his ninthgrade season.

ic against a formidable foe to maintain their early lead. At the top of the second, Madalyn Johnson struck out two batters and caught the other on a ground out to get the defense off the field quickly and in the third she allowed just one of four batters to reach base to leave the Cavaliers empty-handed yet again.

Powhatan’s defense getting off the field quick became a major theme throughout the game until Clover Hill finally scored a run in the sixth inning when Clover Hill’s Hope Coppedge hit an RBI single that sent Angie Ru-

up, and the kids had been thinking about it in practice, and they performed really well,” he said.

In the next game against Isle of Wight, a team that

bested Blessed Sacrament twice before in close games, the Knights saw a late goal from eighth-grade standout Nick Hickey — brother of Kenny Hickey — but their rival was able to score the first two goals to hold onto the lead.

“We didn’t finish the season exactly like we wanted to, but they gave a heck of an effort so I’m really proud of all of them for sticking with things and grinding all the way through the season the way that they did,” Winterrowd said. “They went out with a really good showing.”

Wrapping up the season, the Knights saw Dinora, senior Patrick Maynes and junior Jackson Hawkins all make first team All-Conference while

vis was brilliant in the high-stakes district matchup, scoring both of the team’s goals late in the second half to give Powhatan the lead with just 10 minutes to play. His first came with 15 minutes left in the half, scoring off a through ball assist from senior Parker Sloan. Five minutes later, Davis found himself in the open field with a breakaway goal that had the Rapids on the ropes.

“That young man’s pace of play and joy of life just makes my dream of running this program to the top just that much better,” Miles said. “He’s a team player, everyone loves him and I’m so glad he had his moment to shine.”

After James River scored with two minutes to play, the two teams remained deadlocked through two overtime periods to conclude the game with a draw, though Miles sees the tie as Powhatan’s best performance of the season.

Against Clover Hill, seniors Sloan, Carter Hubley, Keegan McCullough, Jacob Hymel, Hunter Stoddard and Conner Donnelly were honored for their dedication to the program with a convincing win that never felt in doubt.

“It felt great,” Hubley said. “Just to have this atmosphere and have everyone here supporting us was just awesome.”

and an own-goal, with Sloan adding one more goal on his home turf as he gets close to the end of an illustrious high school career.

“It’s another goal, but it’s always great to score in

front of your family and friends,” Sloan said.
