CHAMPIONS!

Congratulations to Atlee Softball for their 3-0 win over Hickory to capture their second state championship in school history, the first since 2002, sending head coach John Earley and assistant coach Becky Levy, whose roles were reversed thirteen years ago when the Raiders won their first championship, into a retirement they announced at the beginning of the season.

Levy, upon returning to serve as Earley's assistant a decade ago, promised him she would serve as an assistant until he decided to step down.

Laura Kate Moss had the game's critical hit, launching a deep single into the gap in left-center field with two out in the top of the sixth inning with the bases loaded. With the speedy Kelly Warren aboard at first, Earley never hesitated in sending all three Raider runners to the plate, catching the Hickory defense by surprise. Their throw to the plate was much too high, and Warren slid head first for the third run, breaking the spirit of the Hawks, who defeated Atlee a week earlier 1-0 in the 5A South Region final.

The final out, fittingly, was the ninth strikeout of the game by sophomore pitcher Peyton St. George, who had to wait out recovery from illness in the middle of the season to return just in time for the playoffs.

The Raiders end their season at 20-6, the third Hanover County softball team to reach 20 wins in 2015, joining Patrick Henry and Lee-Davis.

Exclusive and extensive coverage of Atlee's title, and the historic Atlee/Patrick Henry semifinal, will appear in this Thursday's Hanover Herald-Progress, available by subscription at 804-798-9031, and also available at area Martin's, Food Lion locations, Walmart, convenience stores, and the familiar yellow boxes throughout the county.

SATURDAY: Lee-Davis Boys, Atlee Girls Win State Track Titles; Hawks, Raiders Fall....

TRACK: The Lee-Davis boys outdoor track and field team repeated as 5A State Champions Saturday at Todd Stadium in Newport News, scoring 60 total points to defeat runner-up Hermitage by twelve.

The Confederates clinched the crown by winning the meet's final event, the Boys 4 X 400 Relay, in 3:21.82. Sam Franklin, Jeremiah Hankerson, Sheldon Harris and JJ Jordan led the charge. Hermitage placed sixth in the event.

Jordan joined Blake Stattelman, DJ Petty and John Everett in the 4 X 100 Relay, taking fourth overall in 42.90. Petty proceeded to win the Boys 110 Hurdles in 14.74, the only hurdler to break fifteen seconds during the finals. Stattelman and Petty took fourth and fifth respectively in the long jump for nine critical team points.

Michael Doggett and Josh Grant earned eight points, finishing fourth and sixth in the pole vault, Doggett clearing fourteen feet. Bryce Simpson of Atlee won the pole vault crown at 14 feet, nine inches. Connor Scott took second overall in the discus with a throw of 168 feet, 10 inches. Scott was seventh in Friday's shot put competition, won by Atlee's Austin Cannon with a final throw of 54 feet, 7 3/4 inches.

The Atlee girls came back to Hanover with what they wanted so badly last year, a State Championship, winning the 5A title with 68 points, fourteen better than runner-up Hampton. Patrick Henry placed seventh overall with 24 points.

It was an emotional win for the Raiders, who competed in Newport News without longtime head coach Jim Triemplar, who is still recovering from a stroke suffered days after receiving a pacemaker in early May.

Carly Feyerabend ended her Raider career with a state title in the 100 meter hurdles (14.43), besting teammate India Lowe by just .15 of a second. Zaliah Carey placed fifth, as the Raiders earned 22 points in the event, nearly a third of their team total. Feyerabend placed second Friday in the high jump.

Lowe returned to the track and won a title herself, the 300 Hurdles, in 43.71.

Chloe Bavin ended her Atlee career with a strong third place in the 1600 at 5:09.79

Jean Woodrum of Patrick Henry won the girls discus with a throw of 113 feet, three inches. Patriot Tiffany Harris placed second in the 400 Meters in 55.89.

BASEBALL: Hanover fell behind early and could not stop a Glen Allen offensive tidal wave as the Jaguars defeated the Hawks in the 4A South Region Championship 15-4 Saturday afternoon at RF&P Park in Glen Allen.

The Hawks now set their sights on defending their 4A State Championship, facing Fauquier on Friday at noon in the second of two 4A State Semifinals at Liberty University in Lynchburg. Glen Allen plays Jefferson Forest in the first game at 9am. Winners play for the title Saturday at 10am.

SOFTBALL: Another strong season of Hanover softball came to a close just a win shy of a state tournament appearance of their own, falling 3-1 at Deep Creek in Chesapeake Saturday in the 4A South Region Semifinals. The Hawks complete their season at 15-6 and will return everyone in 2016 except Eryn King and Kristin Wilcox.

Atlee, coming off an emotional win over Lee-Davis Friday night to clinch a 5A State Tournament berth, fell just shy of the 5A South Region crown, falling to Hickory 1-0 in the finals Saturday afternoon. A solo home run was the margin of defeat.

The Raiders will now play the winner of the 5A North Region Championship game Monday between Patrick Henry and Briar Woods in a 5A State Semfinal Friday at 3:30pm at Robinson Secondary School in Fairfax. The Patriots host Briar Woods Monday starting at 6pm in Ashland.

THE WRAP: Atlee Lacrosse to State Tourney, Four Softball Region Wins....

LACROSSE:
The Atlee Raiders boys team clinches its first-ever 5A State Tournament bid Tuesday night dominating from start to finish in a 17-7 win over Brooke Point in the 5A South Region Semifinal at Atlee.

The Raiders will get familiar foe Douglas Freeman in the 5A South Region Championship Thursday night at Atlee. The Rebels defeated Albemarle.

SOFTBALL:
All four county teams win their Region quarterfinal games. We are guaranteed a county representative in the 5A State Tournament next week because Lee-Davis and Atlee will play tomorrow night in the 5A South Region Semifinals, with the winner clinching a State Tournament bid.

Lee-Davis finished its suspended game with Prince George holding on for a 3-2 victory for their 20th win of the year. Atlee followed up with a strong pitching performance from Peyton St. George as the Raiders eliminated Conference 12 champion Clover Hill 2-0.

Also a win away from a state tournament berth are Hanover and Patrick Henry. The Hawks completed a suspended 4A South Region Quarterfinal, shutting out King's Fork 2-0 Tuesday afternoon. Hanover goes to Chesapeake Wednesday to face Deep Creek in the 4A South Semifinals, with the winner punching their ticket to the 4A State Tournament.

Patrick Henry got going on offense quickly as play resumed Tuesday, running away with an 8-0 win over Tuscarora in a 5A North Region Quarterfinal. The Patriots will face Marshall in a Region Semifinal tomorrow evening with a berth in the 5A State Tournament on the line.

SOCCER:
Atlee girls soccer scored four unanswered goals after intermission, the last in overtime, to eliminate Clover 5-4 in 5A South Region Quarterfinal action in Chesterfield Tuesday. With the win, the Raiders get a rematch with Mills Godwin in Wednesday's 5A South Region Semifinals. The winner clinches a 5A State Tournament berth. The match is at Mills Godwin at 5:30pm.

BASEBALL:

The 5A North Region Quarterfinal between Broad Run and Patrick Henry was postponed to 2pm Wednesday.

The 4A South Region Semifinal between Hanover and Grafton will be Wednesday at 4:30pm in Yorktown.
