Caring, sharing goals Hanover remembers
of Christmas Mother vets, past and present
By Melody Kinser

A
s the 2010 Hanover Christmas
Mother, Betty Lee Stanley is
steadfast in her position
on her role: “With
the economic stress that is in
our country today, there are
so many people who are less
fortunate than ourselves, so
we need to try to help them in
any way we can.”
“Christmas is a time of caring, of sharing, of giving, and
love to our fellow
man,” she said.
“Any donation
you would like to
make is greatly
appreciated,” she
said of the program, which is
supervised by the
Doswell Ruritan Club.
“Every cent of the money goes to serve
other people,” Stanley said of the 301(c)(3)
organization’s operation. And, all monies
remain in Hanover County.
Last year, the Christmas Mother program served almost 700 families and
toys were given to 1,361 children.
A Montpelier resident, Stanley is
honored to have been selected to be
the “face” of the giving program.
This year, she said, a Christmas
Mother kickoff will get under way
at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 28, at
the Doswell Community
Center, “with bands
playing and choral
groups singing.” A

Supporters and friends of
Hanover County veterans gathered on Thursday for a poignant celebration of Veterans’
Day at the Hanover Veterans
Memorial at the Wayside Park
on U.S. 301.
All branches of the military
services were represented as
residents remembered those
who served and the many who
made the ultimate sacrifice for
their country.
Brig. Gen. Karen LeDoux,
commander of the 94th Division
at Fort Lee, delivered a keynote
address emphasizing the sacrifices made by soldiers in times
of war and said she is in “awe of
their service.”

Local man to give up 4 of 6 chimps
By Katherine Calos
Media General News Service
Four of the six chimps at Windy
Oaks in Hanover County will have to go,
under a compliance agreement that holds
owner Curtis Shepperson to his original
permit for two chimpanzees in his personal menagerie.
The Hanover Board of Supervisors
had been scheduled last Wednesday
night to consider amending Shepperson’s
wild-animal permit to allow four chimps
on his property near Mechanicsville,
but Shepperson withdrew his application because of opposition from neighbors, county staff, law enforcement and
others, including People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals.
County Attorney Sterling Rives
said the terms of the agreement give
Shepperson two years to find new homes
for the four chimps. Two years ago, Windy
Oaks had about 125 animals, including monkeys, zebras, kangaroos, camels,
deer, parrots, pigs, donkeys, llamas, goats
and porcupines. Shepperson occasionally
held fundraising events there for groups
such as ASK, a childhood cancer-support
organization.
His original permit to keep wild, exotic or vicious animals was issued about
a dozen years ago, Rives said. It allows

from their enclosure. One of the males
remained out overnight.
In the compliance agreement,
Shepperson acknowledges that he has violated the permit and agrees to implement
all physical safety changes and protocols
recommended by Project ChimpCARE
in Chicago.
Within 30 days, the two male chimps
must be sterilized and double locks will
be installed on all primary access doors,
Rives said. Protocols must be developed
for safe entry into the chimp area, as well
as for a response to escape and notification of neighbors.
More secure windows and doors and
a security vestibule must be installed
within three to six months.
Shepperson will work with Project
ChimpCARE and Hanover Animal
Control to find new homes for the four
chimps within two years.
When Shepperson’s request was
removed from the agenda, the public
hearing also was canceled, but supervisors allowed one representative of opponents to speak.

OPINION
| The Local Views
From the editor
Attention now turns
to 2011 elections
Now that the General Election of 2010 has come and gone, we turn our
attention to next year — when Hanover County erupts with the sights and
sounds of candidates:
Sadly, no matter the city, county or state, there is the official who is
always a candidate. (Imagine a grimace at this point.) Maybe there is something to be said about term limits — at least that would ease the number
of candidates who are always thinking about the next election rather than
what’s best for the people he/she serves.
With constitutional officers facing the ballot next year, the political
wheels are turning as incumbents and challengers gear up for 2011.
Been hearing lots of buzz about who will run and who won’t, so expect
to read plenty in the coming weeks and months.
Whatever changes our country will be experiencing following the Nov.
2 election, we must look ahead to impacts in our own county.
So, for next year, the best advice is simple: Be informed — and get to
know the candidates.
It’s all about your news
Your contributions are directly responsible for the success of this publication. With that in mind comes a request. A goal is to return to a bygone
era of a page known as Society. In recent years, we have seen Lifestyles
streaming across many newspapers.
With Society, the meetings, events and work of woman’s clubs, garden
clubs, civic organizations, church groups, etc., are reported. The photos and
operations of these groups are so significant and we want to include those
good works in The Local, your newspaper.
So, the invitation is being offered throughout Mechanicsville and
Hanover County. We hope to be hearing from you soon. If you have
questions about submissions, call 746-1235, ext. 22, or send an e-mail to
[email protected].

Thanks for helping with
JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes
On Sunday, Sept. 19, our family participated in our
third Walk to Find a Cure for Type I Diabetes.
The 11th annual event sponsored by the Juvenile
Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) welcomed a record
crowd of almost 4,000 people.
The event is extremely fortunate to have the support of
dedicated individuals who walk, fund raise and volunteer
as part of the JDRF Family.
A huge thank you to the folks at the Mechanicsville
store of Channello’s Pizza. After seeing our daughter’s
fundraising video on YouTube, they contacted us wanting
to know how they could get involved.
Without hesitation, they took on an enormous task of
donating 300 pizzas for the event. It was not an easy order
to fill, staying up half the night and even delivering the last
of the hot pizzas to the walk site themselves.
“Thank you” does not even come close to letting them
know how much we appreciate their generosity and supsee LETTERS, pg. 8 `

a newsletter for the patrons & friends of Lee-Davis High School
Volume 23, No. 4
Message from the Principal
The fi rst nine weeks ended at Lee-Davis High School on
November 5, 2010. Report cards were distributed on November
12, 2010 and parent teacher conferences will be held November
18, 2010. Conference day is an early dismissal day for our
students.
All students in grades 9-11 who had their photos taken in
September have received a photo identification card, courtesy
of Candid Color. The card contains a library bar code that
allows them to scan into the library system by swiping their
card in front of the card reader, saving time for both the students
and the library staff, and providing an additional security
measure for all students. Students who had school pictures
taken on the make up date will receive theirs later this fall.
Our 52nd BETA and NHS induction ceremony was held on
GOOD NEWS AND CELEBRATIONS …
Congratulations to the 2010-11 SODAs, a group of
students who serve as role models to fourth-grade students in
our corridor elementary schools. Each SODA is part of a team

THE POWER OF ONE: “Charity begins at home” is
certainly the motto that Cadet Hannah Blanco lives by.
Through her own initiative, Cadet Blanco received permission
through her local church to launch “Operation Gingerbread”
that ensured that our military personnel received very special
Christmas gifts from home last year. She single-handedly
performed all the preparatory work, advertising and
coordination of donations with limited assistance. Despite
some challenges in shipping care packages overseas, Cadet
Blanco used all resources at her disposal, the making of a true
leader. Finally, she was able to elicit the assistance of Ms.
Ellen Malloy, the local USO coordinator our local USO at
Richmond International Airport, “Operation Gingerbread”
was a resounding success. Cadet Blanco embodies the core
values of the NJROTC program: citizenship, patriotism, and
selfless service. Job Very Well Done! The NJROTC Booster
meetings take place at 7:00 p.m. on the second Wednesday of
the month. Parents and supporters are invited to attend.

CELEBRATING 50 YEARS OF TRADITION AND PRIDE!
November 9, 2010 and 68 new members joined the ranks of
BETA as well as 56 new NHS members. We congratulate
all new members of these organizations and look forward to
their upholding the ideals and goals that both of these national
organizations put forth.
Following the Thanksgiving weekend, students will return
to school on Monday, November 29, 2010. This is a “B”
instructional day. Also, please be reminded that opportunities to
retake an SOL exam will occur during the week of December 1
– 10, 2010. Any student who failed an SOL but passed the course
is required to participate in the remediation recovery program
and mandatory tutoring sessions. This includes any end-ofcourse SOL test. Tutorial programs are also available before and
after school and for English, math, science and social studies
courses. Please contact Gretchen Marr, testing coordinator for
more information. December 1-10 is also the testing window for
Samantha Perkins, Colton Powell, Bethany Pursel,
Samantha Reed, Mark Reisenweaver, Krystalee Revanna,
Tiffany Reynolds, Brittany Savage, Savannah Scheerer,
Chelsea Shipp, Taylor Singleton, Patrick Sivils, Shelby
Smith, Julia Snipes, Rachel Thinnes, Bonny Turnage,

Inspired by Aristotle’s statement “Educating the mind
without educating the heart is meaningless,” the Lee-Davis
Beta Club has begun a new program called “Beyond the
Classroom: BuiLDing Our World Together.” In this program
students will be able to attend sessions during their study
hall to hear stories of inspiration, leadership, achievement,
overcoming obstacles, honesty, integrity, accountability
and friendships from people in our community. All topics
are geared to strengthen one’s character. In October, as a
response to the heroic work of those involved in the rescue
of the Chilean miners and as inspiration to set their goals
high when working on scientific research projects, a movie
day was offered in which the students watched October Sky
on the big screen of the auditorium. December will bring
an opportunity to hear stories from Holocaust survivors.
Rena Berlin from the Virginia Holocaust Museum will
also join us to talk about leadership and tolerance of others.
Elliot Jenkins from C+F Bank will work with students in
February on basic financial planning. Students will play
a game of “life” and see how well they are able to manage
their funds. April will bring Matt Pulisic from Ashland
Physical Therapy to talk about his experience in Haiti as a
member of a medical team that visited the country shortly
after the devastating earthquake. At this same time, our
own students will share their stories of mission trips to other
countries and areas of the United States in which they were
able to use their talents to help others. The Beta Club is
already gearing up plans for the 2011 – 2012 school year. If
you or members of your company feel you have something to
offer our students or if you have any questions regarding this
program, contact Renee Reisenweaver, Beta Club Advisor at
[email protected].

FINE ARTS NEWS . . .
Sheilah BeVille, art teacher, has an exhibit called Five
Mile Radius currently on display at Art Works in Richmond.
It is a series of oil and acrylic paintings derived from the
Hanover County landscape within a five mile radius of her
home. Mrs. BeVille says, “I’m interested in the relationship
between the lines and shapes of objects within the confines
of a compositional space. More importantly, I’m interested
in how these places and objects document the community’s
journey from rural farm land to suburban neighborhoods
and strip malls.. In some ways the growth of a community is
like creating a painting. Progress changes the landscape with
structures and lines much like the marks of a brush or the
scrape of a palette knife. It is the art within which we live.”
Don’t forget – the Lee-Davis Players will open their
Theatre Season with Greater Tuna on November 18, 19,
and 20. Curtain is at 8:00 p.m. on Thursday, and 7:00 p.m.on
Friday and Saturday. Admission is $5.00 and tickets will be
sold at the door. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.on Thursday and at
6:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Performers: Break a Leg!
The Lee-Davis Players traveled to Reston, Virginia
to attend the Virginia Theatre Association’s (VTA) state
conference and spent the weekend attending theatre
workshops and viewing competitive high school theatre.
Nine seniors auditioned for college programs for acting and
musical theatre performance: one of the largest numbers
from any high school in the state. All nine were called-back
for one or more competitive programs, and most for three or
more programs. L-D seniors were regarded by the college
adjudicators as one of the most consistently talented groups at
the auditions. College representatives commented on not only
on the breadth of talent displayed by our seniors but also on
their professional behavior and appearance. Congratulations
to these seniors: Amanda Chisholm, Brittany Gifford,
Eryn Mann, Shelby Smith, Teddy Blue, Jayson Williams,
Michael Thibodeau, Donald Evans, and Kyle Brent.

It is inspiring to be a part of
an organization and event that
is dedicated to pushing toward
the ultimate goal . . . a world free
from diabetes. I am happy to
report that each day, the event
results move closer and closer
to the goal of raising $655,000.
Thank you to the friends,
family and even those we do
not know who continue to support our daughter and the millions of others whose lives are
touched by diabetes.
Together, we have hope and

Responding to
separation issue
In response to Mr. Reichert’s
letter in the Nov. 3, 2010, edition, let me first say that you
got the caption wrong. It should
have been, “Separation clause
Christianized”, for that’s what
Mr. Reichert’s misinterpretation of the First Amendment
actually is. He also continues
to confuse the Declaration
of Independence and the
Constitution.
No, Bob, the words “wall of
separation” are not part of the
text of the First Amendment.
However, the concept of a
wall of separation between religion and state first appeared not
in Jefferson’s letter to the Baptist

believed — it was mentioned

Papers, by the father of the constitution, James Madison.
The founding fathers’ writings — not only Jefferson’s
famous letter but many, many
others by all of the major players — make it completely clear
to anyone capable of studying
history with an open mind that
the idea of a wall of separation
was exactly what the founders
intended — and is why that sentence is called the Separation
clause of the First Amendment.

want to hear, nor is it what the
churches prefer to preach, but it

(Oh, and I watched the
debate you mentioned; Mr.
Coons’ quotation of the First

Ms. O’Donnell was accurate. He
did not reference the “wall of

quoted the first sentence of the
Amendment as written when
he quoted to her the part of the
Constitution she clearly did not
know. That Ms. O’Donnell did
not know that is but one example of how woefully unqualified
she is to hold high public office,

ignorance and misinformation about the founding of our

And they’re off! In the photo above, enthusiastic participants in the Mechanicsville Miler started the race at Mechanicsville
Elementary School. At right, the winners of the 3-mile awards were from left, Ashton Herndon, Haley Williams, Alicia Todd and
Brent Swiney.
Mechanicsville Miler called a ‘huge success’
Once again, the Mechanicsville
Miler — hosted by Mechanicsville
Elementary School — has been
described as a “huge success.”
Held on Oct. 30, 222 runners and
walkers of all ages and ability levels
participated in the 3-mile race, enjoying a course that began and ended at
MES and passed through surrounding
neighborhoods.
Eighty-eight students sprinted to
the finish in the 1-mile fun run and the
100-yard dash.
The 3-mile awards went to overall winners Brent Swiney (18:15) and
Alicia Todd (23:07) and 12 and under
winners Haley Williams (38:14) and
Ashton Herndon (28:09).
The 1-mile medals went to Reilly
Ball (8:10) and Zachary Chessor (7:
23).
Principal Amy Woodward said

Program by Richard Hubbard

18, at the Vineyard Christian
Fellowship at 12290 Washington

LETTERS
The other fallacy you keep
buying into, Bob, is the idea
that the founding fathers were
almost exclusively Christians
and Jews. In fact, some were
Christian, yes, but as many were
Deists, and others were agnostics and free-thinkers of various
stripes.
The lone reference to
“Nature and nature’s God” in
the Declaration was carefully
chosen to encompass all of the
common faiths of the time, several of which were decidedly
not Judeo-Christian; there are
exactly zero references to God
in the Constitution, and only
two to religion in any form (the
prohibition of a religious test
for any government job, and
the First Amendment) nor are
there any references in any of
the documents to Jesus or any
of the other trappings specific
to Christianity.
On the contrary, the widelyheld view in historical circles
today is that Franklin was an
atheist. That bible you mentioned Jefferson carrying? He
wrote it himself, because he
couldn’t abide the miracles and
other nonsensical parts of the
Bible.
Madison and Washington
and Hamilton all made it plain
how fearful they were of the
same sort of state-church atrocities that had gone on not only
in England, but right in their
own back yard with the atrocities perpetrated by some of
the Puritan groups and others.
These men were astute politicians, but they were also intelligent, open-minded and very
aware of their recent history
— which is more than can be
said for many voters around
here.
Bob, I understand that your
need to believe in something
larger than yourself drives you
to accept nonsense as fact. And
I will always defend your rights
to believe as you like and speak
your mind. But that applies to
me as well, and as long as people
try to peddle your sort of revisionist silliness, I will continue
to point out how the emperor
has no clothes.

friends Israel and do all we can
to stop Iran from making a
nuclear arsenal. If we don’t, we
are going to face destruction
ourselves down the road.
John H. Bandy
New Kent
U.S. should
support Israel
Integrity, welfare,
today’s society
We should back and support
Israel in every way possible.
Israel has proven to be a friend
to the USA since they became a
nation. They have always honored our ideas and request.
Iran has vowed to wipe Israel
off the face of the earth and they
hate the American Christian as
much or more.
Right now they are in the
process of perfecting nuclear
weapons and there seems to be
no stopping them.
It would be good for our
own interest to stand with Israel
and help them protect their
families and homes.
Hamas, Hezbollah and other
Iran-backed terrorists in the
Gaza have fired 170 rockets and
other weapons so far this year.
It is a shame that Israel is
being fired upon when they are
trying to make peace with the
same Palestinian nation and
they keep pulling out of the
peace process.
Please stand with our good
I’m not sure where to start!
Typically I read the editorials and absorb that which is
said by all sides of the argument
de jour, but after reading the
Nov. 3 edition, there were too
many folks grasping at too little
and then stretching it to make
a point.
First, why is it that any cartoon or criticism of our president ends up being deemed
“racist”?
I have learned over my lifetime that judging, and especially
prejudging anyone, is wrong.
The way to learn about a
person’s character and integrity is to examine the character
and integrity of those people
with whom he chooses to surround himself, and then study
his actions and reactions when
challenged.
Our president has chosen
known communist and Marxist
thinking people to make up
his administration. I can easily
elaborate but it would take a
book to go through them all
one by one.
Our president’s integrity
can be illustrated by the way
in which he won his bid for
the Illinois Sate Senate. He
had three opponents, including the incumbent, a long-time
Chicago activist, Alice Palmer.
Instead of campaigning
against them, he went to court
and used the Chicago rules for
voting petition signatures and
had all three of them disqualified so he could run unopposed.
As far as I can tell, nothing
has changed.

The phrase “provide for the
common defense” has exactly
the same meaning now as it did
when it was written.
So to say that because our
defense technology has been
refined somehow equates to
redefining “welfare” to mean
that “We The People” must support the citizens who choose
not to better themselves is absolutely ridiculous.
The fact that the government (We The People, being
misrepresented) has taken away
the incentive to work by giving social program recipients
everything they need without
requiring any responsibility in
return has nothing to do with
the “general welfare” spoken to
in the preamble.
And as far as Social Security
goes, it was set up only to be an
insurance that would supplement those who could not save
enough to afford retirement,
not to be one’s sole retirement
fund.

With the mission, “To Know God and Make

The school, which provides a positive, rigorous Christian education, is a national home
educating movement. It builds upon the classical model of grammar, dialectic and rhetoric
stages in which students are given age-appropriate instruction in a well-rounded, engaging
program.
Early years’ instruction focuses on memorization and comprehension, while older students
learn to analyze and apply what they have learned
to a variety of contexts.
The foundation’s program provides instruction grades pre-kindergarten through 6 and
emphasize facts from history, geography, Latin,
English grammar, math, science and the arts.
Students also develop oral presentation skills,
learn Bible verses, and participate in weekly sci-
ence projects.
The Essentials program is geared toward 4th
through 6th graders and provides a rigorous
English grammar program, as well as systematic writing instruction. For older students, the
Challenge program includes instruction in Latin,
literature, science, history, geography, the arts
and logic.
The Mechanicsville location offers classes for
12- to 15-year-olds, with plans to expand next
year. Future high school classes also will include
the study of Spanish and Christian apologetics.

On Aug. 14, Lyla Ann Green arrived – after
much elation and preparation for the addition to
the family. Sadly, she did not survive.
The Greens have what is described as “a
never-faltering faith in God.”
To help the couple through this difficult time,
several events are planned for Dec. 18, ranging
from a bake sale to a Christmas Gift Auction.
Organizers are hoping Santa Claus will make

Your statement that the government can do things cheaper
and more efficiently than the
private sector. What a laugh. So
the post office is more efficient
than UPS?
The post office is over $2
million in debt and may have to
stop delivering one day a week

UPS is making a profit and

Perhaps no one looks forward more to, or
better appreciates, the holidays than senior
members of the family. For them, these are
precious occasions that provide the opportunity to share remembrances, interact with
the newest family members, and make direct
contact with people whom they have not seen
in a while. It cannot be stressed enough what
a decided influence these family gatherings
have to positively affect the lives of seniors.
Study after study shows that a strong social
network enables elderly individuals to lead
longer and better lives. With this in mind,
children, grandchildren, nephews, and nieces are strongly encouraged to show older family

members the love and attention they deserve
and need.
If older family members fatigue easily or are
vulnerable to over-stimulation, limit the number
of holiday-related activities they are involved
in or the length of time they are included. The
noise and confusion of a large family gathering can lead to irritability or exhaustion, so
consider designating a “quiet room” where
an older person can take a break.
P.S. Make an effort to call an elderly family
member once a week and/or take him or her
to lunch once a month.

Seat belt use leads to APD honor
Shanna Penley received
the Virginia Saved by the Belt
Award on Nov. 2 from the
Ashland Police Department.
She was involved in what
was described as a serious
crash on Jan. 3 in the Town of
Ashland.
The impact caused the air
bags in her vehicle to deploy.
Penley was wearing her seat belt
and did not receive any injuries
as a result of the crash.
The
Ashland
Police
Department, along with the
Virginia Highway Safety Office,
recognized Penley for wearing
her seat belt.
According to the Virginia
Highway Safety Office, in 2009,
there were 756 crash related
fatalities. Of those, 333 of the
fatalities were not wearing
restraints.
Photo submitted by Lt. James Shelhorse
Shanna Penley was recognized by the Ashland Police Department with the Virginia Saved by the Belt Award.
Seat belts, when used by
passenger vehicle occupants 5
and older, saved an estimated
13,250 lives in 2008, more than
75,000 lives from 2004 through
2008, and 255,115 lives from
1975 through 2008.
Chief Doug Goodman
said, “The Ashland Police

can get another $1,500 on top of
your savings in the form of a tax credit
for qualifying high-efficiency systems.

ChamberRx drug card
Local heads to Michigan
now available to the public
The Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce
(HABCC) is offering a free discount drug card to all who request it.
This free pharmacy card provides discounts of up to 85 percent
on both brand and generic drugs purchased at any of the nationwide
58,000 participating pharmacies.
The ChamberRx prescription drug card is a proven program currently saving cardholders an average of 36 percent off of their prescription medications.
There is no cost to sign up for the card.
Also, there are no health restrictions, no obligations and no limits
on prescriptions.
The process for obtaining discounted prescriptions is easy.
Cardholders simply print their name on the card and present it,
along with their prescription, at a participating pharmacy. It can be used
by family and friends, and there is no limit on the number of prescriptions.
Cardholders can locate participating pharmacies and also compare
pharmacy prices to find the lowest cost for medications by visiting www.
chamberrx.com.
The ChamberRx card is especially beneficial for individuals who
currently do not have health insurance or who need medications that
their insurance plans don’t cover.
The card discount cannot be applied on top of the insurance plan
discount for prescription drugs.
Participating pharmacies can assist customers in determining
whether the insurance plan or the ChamberRx card will result in the
most savings.
For anyone interested in receiving significant discounts on prescriptions, cards are available for pickup at the HABCC offices located at
9097 Atlee Station Road, Suite 117, in Mechanicsville or card requests
also can be made by calling the HABCC at 798-8130.
For a nominal fee, bulk cards also are available for businesses that
wish to serve as distribution points for the ChamberRx card.

Lee-Davis sacks Atlee’s playoff hopes

and Jeremy Epps, (57) closes in on defense. At right: Atlee’s Shaquille Williams (3) stretches to
make a tackle on Lee-Davis’ Caleb Wyatt (4). On the night, both Atkins and Wyatt carried for 131
yards leading the Confederates to a 29-27 win over the Raiders and a share of second place in
the Capital District.
By Dave Lawrence
For The Mechanicsville Local
The war whoops on the LeeDavis buses said all that needed
to be said about the outcome of
their game with Atlee on Friday
night.
The Confederates, who had
seen plenty of adversity early
in the season, had turned their
fortunes around and ended the
regular season on a high note
as one of the hottest teams in
the Central Region, holding off
host, No. 10 ranked Atlee, 29-27
and earning a share of second
place in the Capital District.
42
Nevertheless, both teams’
seasons are over. Varina’s 20-12
victory over Highland Springs
keeps the Confederates (4-2
Capital, 5-4) out of the Division
6 playoffs. Atlee’s loss, coupled
with Petersburg’s 22-21 win
over Meadowbrook, ensured
the end of the Raiders’ 2010
campaign.
Despite the end of the
Lee-Davis season, Coach Zac
Hayden was happy with what
his team had accomplished.
“The kids played really,
really, really hard,” Hayden
said. “They care for each other.
They’re a team, they just played
November 17, 2010
together, and they kept getting
better every week.”
The Confederates’ defense
came up big, denying the
Raiders (2-4, 6-4) despite a
229-yard, two touchdown performance by Atlee quarterback
Drew Ferguson. Ferguson completed 19-of 31 passes, but also
threw two interceptions.
“We knew we had to come
up with some stops on defense,”
Hayden said. “We came up
with stops. We bent, we didn’t
break.”
Lee-Davis was led by its two
running backs, Emmit Atkins
and Caleb Wyatt. Atkins ran
www.mechlocal.com
See slideshow online!
22 times for 131 yards and
three touchdowns. Wyatt ran
16 times – also for 131 yards
– and one touchdown. The pair
combined for two touchdowns
in the first half that showed they
weren’t intimidated by Atlee’s 14
point-lead in the first quarter.
“This was potentially my last
game, so there was nothing to
hold back,” Atkins said. “I left
everything I had out there.”
The Confederates proved
they could make big plays. A
minute after Atlee took a 140 lead, Atkins broke into the
Raider defensive backfield for a
57-yard scoring run. He added
a 2-point conversion to make
it 14-8.
After an Atlee fumble at the
end of the first quarter, LeeDavis opened the second quarter with a 46-yard touchdown
run by Wyatt. Again, Atkins
added two points to give the
Confederates a 16-14 lead with
11:50 in the first half.
“It just happened. I was just
moving,” Wyatt said of his run.
“I was ready to score!”
The Confederates’ next
touchdown – toward the end
of the half – came from oldfashioned pounding away at the
line-of scrimmage. Starting at
their 44, they reached Atlee’s
9-yard line with the help of
back-to-back runs of 26- and
11 yards by Wyatt and Atkins,
respectively. Wyatt plunged to
the 3-yard line, and Akins finished the drive off with a 3-yard
run. This time, the run on the
conversion attempt failed, but
Lee-Davis took a 22-14 lead
into the half.
Atlee crept back into contention with a 63-yard scoring drive on the Raiders’ first
possession of the second half.
Ferguson accounted for almost
all of the offense, with a 10see LEE-DAVIS, pg. 46 `
Hanover methodically goes to 10-0
Hanover now
prepares for fresh
start in playoffs
By Charlie Leffler
[email protected]
There was little celebration
on the Hanover sidelines after
the No. 2 Hawks downed outmanned host Armstrong 49-14
on Friday night. The players
and coaches had a quick chat at
one end of the field, packed up
equipment then made a quick
exit with little fanfare.
It was not the expected
response from a team that just
finished the regular season 100, going undefeated for the first
time in school history. But there
was little surprise as to the outcome of the game or the challenge that lays ahead for the
Hawks (6-0 Capital,10-0).
“Going 10-0 is awesome,”
said Hanover assistant coach
Tom Connolly. “It’s great for the
kids. They’ve worked so hard
since January-February in the
weight room. They’ve really
dedicated themselves to this
program.”
Though Armstrong (06, 3-7) started the season in
noteworthy fashion going 3-1,
depleted ranks and the challenge of the tough league slate
destined them to finish the
year 0-6 against Capital District
opponents. The Wildcats only
fielded 21 players in their final
game of the season.
Therefore Hanover’s faced
more of an internal challenge
than one from their opponents when they took the field
against the Wildcats.
“We just wanted to come
out, play a good game, send
notice to the rest of the region
that we’re her to play good,
tough, Hanover football,” said
Hawks assistant coach Tom
Connolly. “Wanted to make
sure we came here, took care
of business and got out with
a win.”
Check both goals off the
Hawks’ list.
Hanover ran out to a quick
14-0 lead with sophomore
quarterback Sam Rogers carrying most of the load. Rogers,
who ran the ball 14 times for
143 yards in one half of action,
got the Hawks on the board
with a 19-yard keeper for a
touchdown minutes into the
game.
Tre Facison added a second
touchdown on a 25-yard scoring run at the 8:17 mark of the
first quarter.
But the one thing Hanover
did not want to see, sloppy
play, momentarily reared its
ugly head.
On Hanover’s first possession of the second quarter, Rogers was picked off and
Armstrong returned the ball
to the redzone. After having not scored in five of their
previous six their games, a
Daylin Bolling pass to Cox
put the Wildcats on the scoreboard. Bolling then ran in
the two-point conversion and
Armstrong was within six, 148.
“We had some mistakes
and we’re going to go back
and fix them this week and
get ready for our playoff opponent,” Connolly said.
Though Armstrong showed
momentary life, the score fired
up the Hawks, who dominated
for the remainder of the game.
On their next possession,
Hanover widened the margin once again on a 10-yard
TD pass from Rogers to Blake
Underdown. And Deane
Cheatham put a comeback out
of reach with a two-yard TD
run.
The Hawks led 35-8 going

Raiders knock off
Deep Run in three
sets for region win
By Arthur Utley
Media General News Services
That the Atlee girls volleyball team won the Central
Region girls volleyball championship is no surprise. What was
a surprise was how quickly the
Raiders dispatched perennial
power Deep Run in the region
tournament final last night at
Hanover High. Atlee won 2520, 25-20, 25-12. The match
took a little more than an hour
to play.
When Atlee won a regular season meeting between
the teams Oct. 25 at Atlee, the
match went five sets.
The Raiders bolted to a 14-2
lead in the opening game.
“We jumped out so quickly, I was worried,” Atlee coach
Curtis Carpenter said. “They’re
a better team than that, and it
showed.”
44
The Wildcats trailed 21-5
when they put together a 13point streak that closed the gap
to 22-18. Carpenter called timeout, but Deep Run scored again
to make it 22-19. Atlee regained
focus and stretched the margin
to 24-19.
“We tried not to get too
excited and tried to keep calm,
and it worked,” Atlee’s Karlie
Suber said.
Deep Run scored one more
point before Atlee closed out
the game.
“We operate best when we’re
relaxed,” Deep Run coach Terra
Balla said. “You saw it when
we were behind 21-5 and went
on the run. You got a glimpse
of what we can do when we’re
relaxed.”
The rally was the high point
of the match for the Wildcats.
They led for a couple of points
in the second set, but the
Raiders pulled even at 13 and
finished the set with four consecutive points while senior
Jordyn Richardson was serving.
The third game opened with

the Raiders to eight consecutive points. Richardson served
during a five point run, and
Morgan Schute, another of the
four seniors on the team, served
for the match.
“The crowd was cheering. I
was nervous, and I wanted to
make it a good one. It was nerve
wracking, but exciting at the
same time,” Schute said.
The serve was a good one,
and when Meg Bowers put away
the return for the final point,
the Raiders celebrated their first
region championship.
“When the girls are calm
and playing smoothly they can
be scary good,” Carpenter said.
“I don’t think I’ve seen them
play their best yet.”

Hanover runners earn All-State honors
Breidenbaugh and
Gordon excel at
Great Meadows
By Charlie Leffler
[email protected]
Both the boys and girls
Hanover cross country squads
finished the season on a high
by turning in noteworthy performances in the Group AAA
state meet at Great Meadows
last Saturday.
Hanover’s
Molly
Breidenbaugh continued her
remarkable first season by
claiming sixth place (18:25) on
the 3-mile course to finish as
the top freshman in the state of
Virginia.
At the same time, senior
Anna Gordon capped an outstanding career by finishing
the race 10 seconds behind
her teammate, (one second
off her personal record) for
an 11th place finish to join
Breidenbaugh as the only runners from the Capital District,
boys or girls, to achieve AllState honors.
“Both of them ran an outstanding race,” said Hanover
head coach Cameron Hopper.
“What’s interesting is that both
Molly and Anna run a very different race. Molly likes to go out
and hold on in the leader group
while Anna holds back a little
bit, gets her stride going and
picks off individuals as the race
progresses. So both of them had
very different strategies but very
good results.”
For Breidenbaugh, it is only
the beginning of what could
turn into a remarkable career.
“It’s really an outstanding feat
for her to do so well under
big-time pressure situations,”
Hopper said. “I think it just
shows how talented she is. The
challenge for us coaches is to
keep her expectations in check.
Trying not to let her do too
File photos by Charlie Leffler/The Local
Hanover freshman Molly Breidenbaugh (above) and senior Anna Gordon (right) both earned All-State honors this past weekend at the Group AAA cross country
meet at Great Meadows. Breidenbaugh finished sixth as the top freshman in the state while Gordon came in 10 second later in 11th place.
much too fast. Trying to hold
her back just a little bit and
let her progress as each year
comes. Sometimes you see the
girls do really, really well then
fall off a little bit.”
Gordon was thrilled to simply be able to run the race she’s
always wanted to run. “This is
what she’s been shooting for,
for four years,” Hopper said. “It
seems like she’s been nicked up
for four years, something’s been
wrong and this year she was
healthy.
“When she went out that
day she felt strong about her
race and she felt good about
the strategy we set forth for
her and she executed extremely
well. She was about as happy
of an individual as you can get.
She was thrilled to have that
honor because it is an outstanding group of individuals. She
was definitely shooting for the
All-State and she was able to
pull it off.”
Lee-Davis
sophomore
Bonny Turnage finished 41st
with a time of 19:28.
Not to be overshadowed
by the Hawk girls accomplishments was a solid performance
by the Hanover boys team which
made it’s first ever appearance
in the state meet.
As a team, the Hawks 238
was good enough to claim 12th
place, edging out Deep Run by
two points.
In reaching the state meet as
a team, Hanover accomplished
one of its major goals of the
season. “Our goal all year was to
make it to states,” Hopper said.
“The boys when they went into
the regional meet were unbelievably excited and raring to go. I
think we got to states it might
have been a little bit over-whelming, they were really excited.”
On one of the toughest
courses they’ve run, two Hawks
set personal records in the
final meet of the season. Junior
James Foyer finished ahead of
his teammates with a personal
best time of 16:30, good enough
for a 48th place finish. Senior

H-SC rallies to win The Game in rousing style
Tigers use big 2nd
quarter to keep
playoff hopes alive
By Will Van Wazer
Media General News Services
HA M P DE N - SY DN EY
— The 116th edition of the
matchup known simply as “The
Game” lived up to its reputation
yesterday.
Quarterback Travis Lane
scored on a pair of 1-yard runs,
and Hampden-Sydney rallied
from a 14-point deficit then
held off Randolph-Macon to
win The Game Ball trophy 3128.
In 10 forgettable minutes for
H-SC, the Tigers fumbled three
times and allowed a blocked
punt (David Fetter/Lee-Davis)
resulting in a touchdown.
Thaddeus Scruggs also ran for
the first of his two TDs as the
Yellow Jackets bolted to a 14-0
lead.
“It was almost like Murphy’s
law out there,” said Lane, a former Mills Godwin standout.
“Anything that can go wrong
did go wrong,” But, with the
LEE-DAVIS
yard pass to Will McCombs and
consecutive runs of 49, four and
two yards – the latter one for
a touchdown. Joseph Pulisic’s
PAT made it 22-21.
For most of the game, however, Ferguson struggled against
the Confederates’ defense. He
was sacked twice, but rushing
pressure forced him to throw
the ball away on several occasions – and helped force interceptions in the second and third
quarters.
The Raiders closed to within
two points, 29-27, in the fourth
quarter on a 67-yard interception return by Cody Farrar. A
46
Skip Rowland/For The Local
Randolph-Macon freshman quarterback Greg Petrohovich (13) made his first start of the season
against Hampden-Sydney. Petrohovich was 18 of 34 for 199 yards in the 31-28 loss.
resiliency they’ve shown all season, the Tigers had an offensive explosion, driving for more
than 70 yards three times in the
second quarter.
“We’re a rhythm team, a
fast-break offense and we got
hot there,” H-SC coach Marty
Favret said. “I thought that
score before the half . . . took
the wind out of their sails for a
little bit.”
For Randolph-Macon, the
story was the play of freshman
quarterback Greg Petrohovich
(Benedictine), who made his
first career start following the
injury to Austin Faulkner on
Oct. 16. In the first half,
Petrohovich completed just
four passes for 16 yards as his
team struggled to produce any
2-point conversion attempt
that would have tied the game
failed.
It was gut-check time for
Lee-Davis.
“I just knew after that that
we had to pound them again
and do what we do,” Wyatt
said.
Lee-Davis did just that.
Atlee began its final drive
on its 27-yard line, driving
steadily onward until the LeeDavis defense stopped them
on a fourth-and-five from
the Confederates’ 20. Pulisic
attempted a 27-yard field goal
that would have won the game.
It sailed wide left.
“It happens,” Atlee coach
Roscoe Johnson said of the
missed field goal. “He’s a 16, 17-year-old kid, and the
moment got to him. Honestly,
we shouldn’t have gotten to that
point. We should have been
taking care of business and we
didn’t.”
November 17, 2010
kind of offensive output.
Midway through the third
quarter, Petrohovich (18 of 34,
199 yards) seemed to hit his
stride. He led the Jackets on a
14-play, 76-yard drive to cut the
deficit to 28-21.
As the game wound on,
both teams matched each
other’s play. With just 2:53 left
and the Yellow Jackets’ hopes

dwindling, Petrohovich put
together a 62-yard drive in just
over two minutes, capped off
with a 6-yard sneak to put the
score at Hampden-Sydney 31,
Randolph-Macon 28.
On the ensuing onside kick,
Tigers senior free safety Bill
Doody recovered the kick to
seal the Tigers’ win.
While the loss ends the
season for Randolph-Macon,
Hampden-Sydney is hoping
that this win provides an at
large bid to the NCAA Division
III tournament and a chance to
make some history.
“Hampden-Sydney as a program has never won a playoff
game before,” Lane said. “We’re
really trying to put that together
and keeping being able to play
and practice with our seniors
and our whole team.”

Staff Reports
Hampden-Sydney, coming off a 31-28 victory over
Randolph-Macon on Saturday,
will be at home when the
Division III playoffs begin this
weekend.
The Tigers (9-1) received
an at-large bid and will play
host to Montclair State (9-1)
this Saturday at noon. ODAC
champion Washington and Lee
(8-2) received the sixth seed
with its automatic bid and will
visit No. 3 seed Thomas More
(10-0), also at noon.
The bids for H-SC and W&L
mark the first time two ODAC
schools will play in the D-III
tournament since Bridgewater
HAWKS
score on a 35-yard TD pass
from Bolling to Jatain McLane
to create the final margin.
Though the 10-0 mark is
a major accomplishment, the
footnote to the Hawks’ season
is that they accomplished the
feat against one of the most
talented Capital District slates
ever.
“I think anytime you go 100 it’s awesome regardless of
how tough your competition
is,” Connolly said. “But it’s been
tough. We have a possible two
teams going (to playoffs) for
Division 5 and a possible two
go from Division 6.”
Regardless of what lays
ahead, Hanover can claim
it’s first ever win over both
Highland Springs and Varina,
and for the fourth year in a row
handling every county opponent.
But for Hanover, the regular
season is now in the books
and they need to focus on the
future.

kind of tough not to look back
on what you’ve done but we’re
going to look at this as a fresh
start because we can’t afford to
make mistakes now,” Connolly
said. “One loss and you’re out.
It’s a fresh season. Everybody’s
0-0. Records don’t matter,
points don’t matter, standings don’t matter. So this is a
fresh start for us. We’re looking ahead to our opponent,
whoever it’s going to be. We’re
going to prepare for them.”
