Patriots Fall Short....
They left it all on the floor.
From Amber Lee's sweat and Jasmine Smith's passion to Summer Price's heart and Katie Anderson's blood, Patrick Henry did everything they could to advance to the final four of the Central Region Girls Basketball Tournament.
In the end, a surprising no-call, followed by a 7-0 Cosby run to take the lead for good, gave the Titans a 51-41 win in Ashland Wednesday night.
In her final game, Katie Anderson scored 21 points, but could only score five field goals (one from 3), constantly harassed all night by Cosby's defense. Anderson went down hard early in the final quarter with the Patriots leading, but no foul was called. She was slow to get up and came up bleeding on the right arm. She left the game while the wound was attended to and a fresh uniform top found (she finished her career wearing #32), but from this point on, Cosby seemed to take control.
A steal and a 3-pointer tied the game at 31-31, the Patriots took the lead for the last time at 33-31. Cosby took the lead for good at 35-33 with 4:48 to go and sealed it at the free throw line when the Patriots had to resort to fouling late in the game.
Amber Lee picked up two early fouls, but played valiantly on defense, finishing with six points. Price finished with eight. Jasmine Smith's last game ended with her tallying four points, all from the charity stripe.
The Patriots finish the season 23-3 with a performance that proved they belonged in the Top 10 in the Central Region all season. A few different sets of circumstances in the fourth quarter could have turned the tide the other way.
Look for complete coverage one week from tomorrow in the March 1st Hanover Herald-Progress.
NOTE: Anderson finishes her PH career as the second all-time leading scorer with 1,509 points, scoring point #1,500 on a free throw with 5:03 left in the third quarter.

Patriots Stunned At Buzzer; Wildcats and Panthers Advance
Caroline Carvia hit a three-point shot at the buzzer off an in-bounds pass at :02 left to give Deep Run a stunning 57-55 win over top-seeded Patrick Henry in the Colonial District girls semifinals at John Marshall.
Summer Price, who led the Patriots with 21 points, hit a three-pointer from the deep corner with eight seconds left to give the Patriots a 55-54 lead after losing the lead with 45 seconds to go. The Wildcats advanced the ball to their end of the court and called timeout with two seconds left to set up the winning shot.
Patrick Henry had numerous chances to seize the day, missing four shots in the paint in the final minute of play.
The Patriots, now 22-2, still qualify as the #1 seed from the Colonial District into the Central Region Tournament and will host Glen Allen, the #4 seed from the Capital, Monday night in the first round.
In the other semifinal, a block by Shannon Thompson on a Godwin shot in the final second gave Hermitage a 50-49 win over the Eagles to advance to the finals. Mills Godwin led most of the game, until Hermitage took the lead for good in the fourth quarter, holding off a final Eagles surge. Hermitage missed four of five free throws in the final minute to help key Godwin in the game. On the final play, Godwin got the ball to the hoop, but the ball was knocked out of bounds by the Panthers with :01 to go. The Eagles set up a play inbounding the ball, but the shot in the lane was cleanly blocked by Thompson at the buzzer, sealing the win.
Deep Run and Hermitage tip off for the title Friday at 6pm at Douglas Freeman on Three Chopt Road. Hermitage swept the Wildcats in the regular season.

After varsity squads warmed up, it was determined the leak was worsening and, in the interest of player safety, the varsity game was postponed to a later, as yet to be announced date.
This only affected the boys game. The girls teams were meeting tonight at Patrick Henry.

FINAL: South County 38, Hanover 22
Third down.
For Coach Josh Just and the Hanover Hawks staff, and especially for their defense, those two words will haunt them for a long time.
When asked how frustrating third downs were for his Hawks, Just answered, "Very. You hit the nail on the head."
Hanover's inability to stop South County on third down on a minimum of nine occasions cost the Hawks dearly as the Stallions built a 24-0 halftime lead on the way to a 38-22 win in the State Division 5 Semifinal in Lorton Saturday.
South County scored on their opening drive, setting up shop at the Hanover 40 after a 35-yard opening kickoff return by Ryan Taylor. On the drive, Hanover did stop the Stallions on third down, but on fourth and short, the Stallions rushed up the middle enough for a first down. On the next play, quarter Shane Foley threw deep for his favorite target, wideout Michael Ferguson, who outwilled and outleapt Hanover's Xavier Crocker for the first touchdown.
"I'd put X on him again", said Hanover Coach Josh Just after the game. "Number 8 (Ferguson) is incredible."
The Hawks spent the first half trying in vain to move the chain and spending little time on the Stallions side of the field. Tailback L.J. Jones, who rushed for 450 yards in two regional playoff wins, only accounted for 18 in the first half.
The Stallions increased their lead for good in the second quarter, first by Andrew Rector's 22 yard touchdown run. Later, after Hanover fumbled the ensuing kickoff for the first of their three turnovers, the Stallions reached into their bag of tricks. On a third down, a double-reverse flea flicker pass to Ferguson was good for 35 yards to the Hawks 5. After the Hawks backed them up to the 11, on third down and goal, running back Jake Josephs took a pitch, stopped, and threw an 11-yard halfback option touchdown pass to Ferguson, making it 21-0.
"We watched alot of tape on these guys and didn't see that", Just said.
Hanover scored on the opening possession of the second half, sparked by a 72-yard pass completion from Andrew Knizner to Sam Rogers. L.J. Jones scored from nine yards out, the first of his three second half touchdowns, to quickly cut the lead to 24-7.
But if there were any doubts of the Stallions' dominance on this day, they would be erased by the Foley-led offense, counterpunching with a touchdown drive of their own four minutes later. The Hawks answered again on a three-minute drive, capped off by a six-yard run by Jones, but the Stallions scored one final time on the first play of the fourth quarter to nail down the victory.
Hanover scored once more late in the fourth on Jones' third touchdown run from five yards out. Jones also converted the two-point conversion to finish the scoring.
The Hawks were uncharacterstically undisciplined in the penalty area, committing nine fouls, including four personal fouls, for 85 yards. Knizner finished 11 of 19 for 197 yards, 117 of them to Sam Rogers. Jones finished with 60 yards on just 12 carries, but the three second-half touchdowns.
Some Hanover fans, and this observer, questioned why several false start penalties seemingly committed by the South County offense weren't called, especially in the first half, as it seemed Foley would take at least a half-step back prior to the ball snap. It would be the third quarter before a false start was called on their motion-filled offense.
Foley finished 12 of 16 for 184 yards and three passing touchdowns for South County, with Michael Ferguson accounting for five receptions, 95 yards, and three touchdowns.
South County (11-3) moves to next Saturday's State Division 5 Championship against Phoebus, a 27-26 overtime winner over North Stafford.
The Hawks finish 2011 at 10-3, and though they lose several key players, the nucleus of this team, including Jones, Rogers and Knizner, will return in 2012.
When asked about the future, Just said, "...we'll focus on that later. Right now we want to spend time with our seniors and appreciate what they've done for this program. Then we'll work on picking up where we left off. That's what we do."
For Coach Josh Just and the Hanover Hawks staff, and especially for their defense, those two words will haunt them for a long time.
When asked how frustrating third downs were for his Hawks, Just answered, "Very. You hit the nail on the head."
Hanover's inability to stop South County on third down on a minimum of nine occasions cost the Hawks dearly as the Stallions built a 24-0 halftime lead on the way to a 38-22 win in the State Division 5 Semifinal in Lorton Saturday.
South County scored on their opening drive, setting up shop at the Hanover 40 after a 35-yard opening kickoff return by Ryan Taylor. On the drive, Hanover did stop the Stallions on third down, but on fourth and short, the Stallions rushed up the middle enough for a first down. On the next play, quarter Shane Foley threw deep for his favorite target, wideout Michael Ferguson, who outwilled and outleapt Hanover's Xavier Crocker for the first touchdown.
"I'd put X on him again", said Hanover Coach Josh Just after the game. "Number 8 (Ferguson) is incredible."
The Hawks spent the first half trying in vain to move the chain and spending little time on the Stallions side of the field. Tailback L.J. Jones, who rushed for 450 yards in two regional playoff wins, only accounted for 18 in the first half.
The Stallions increased their lead for good in the second quarter, first by Andrew Rector's 22 yard touchdown run. Later, after Hanover fumbled the ensuing kickoff for the first of their three turnovers, the Stallions reached into their bag of tricks. On a third down, a double-reverse flea flicker pass to Ferguson was good for 35 yards to the Hawks 5. After the Hawks backed them up to the 11, on third down and goal, running back Jake Josephs took a pitch, stopped, and threw an 11-yard halfback option touchdown pass to Ferguson, making it 21-0.

Hanover Wins Third Regional Title In Five Years
The Hanover Hawks dominated from the start, upending the top-seeded Atlee Raiders in the Central Region Division 5 Regional Championship Friday night, 31-12.
Hanover broke the game open late in the first quarter. After a 23-yard pass from Andrew Knizner to Sam Rogers made it 10-0, the Raiders' Kenner Berry had a pass tipped on third down into the hands of David Cryster, who raced 32 yards for the pick six, making it 17-0.
The Raiders scored on a safety and on the subsequent second quarter drive moved the ball to the Hanover 1. The drive stalled, with Berry fumbling a third down snap, forcing Atlee to settle for a field goal, and the halftime score was 17-5.
Hanover scored in the third to extend the lead on a drive which included a fake punt 39-yard run from Sam Rogers. L.J. Jones, who rushed 30 times for 166 yards, finished the drive from four yards out, and the game was no longer in doubt.
Atlee's lone touchdown came with four minutes left in the game, a 35-yard pass by Berry to Will McCombs.
Atlee finishes their best season in 13 years at 9-3.
Hanover now moves to the State Division 5 Semifinals next Saturday when they travel to Lorton to face South County, winners of ten straight after an 0-3 start. They defeated previously unbeaten Yorktown Friday afternoon 37-13 to win the Northern Region Championship.
The Hanover/South County game will be heard LIVE next Saturday, December 3rd, at 1:30, with pregame at 1pm on WHAN Radio, 102.9 FM, 1430 AM, and here on HanoverCountySports.org.

Rucker "Probably" Won't Play In Regional Final
The Richmond Times-Dispatch is reporting Atlee Coach Roscoe Johnson has said quarterback Ruben Rucker "probably" will not play Friday in the Division 5 Regional Final against Hanover.
Rucker has been the starter all season, but injured his wrist late in the first half of the Raiders' double overtime semifinal win over Lee-Davis during a fumble.
Kenner Berry, who in relief of Rucker Friday threw two touchdown passes and ran for the game winning score in the second overtime, will likely start for the Raiders.
Johnson told HanoverCountySports.org Friday night on the field after the game that he has confidence in Berry.
"Kenner Berry is a good quarterback", Johnson said.
This means the rematch of these two county schools will feature two different starting quarterbacks. Andrew Knizner has been the signal caller for Hanover ever since Sam Rogers went down with an elbow injury against Henrico. Rogers is back playing, but not in the quarterback role due to the nature of the injury.

Big Second Half For Hanover; Atlee Survives in Double OT
The Atlee Raiders would not quit, coming back from a 14-point deficit late in the third quarter to force overtime, then scoring twice in extra sessions to outlast Lee-Davis 42-35 in double overtime to advance in the Central Region Division 5 Semifinals tonight.
Kenner Berry, in relief of an injured Ruben Rucker, found Shaquille Williams for two touchdown passes, one to tie the game in the fourth quarter, and the other to force a tie in the first overtime. Rucker injured his wrist late in the first half on a turnover.
The Raiders will welcome Hanover for the Division 5 Finals next Friday night. Hanover scored 27 unanswered points in the second half to beat Dinwiddie, 41-14.

Tonight's Division 5 Playoff Previews
#4 Lee-Davis at #1 Atlee
Kickoff: 7:30pm (Airtime, 7pm on WHAN, 102.9 FM, 1430 AM and on the internet here at HanoverCountySports.org)
The Confederates have won their last six over Atlee, including the 30-20 upset victory one week ago in Mechanicsville that gave Lee-Davis their first playoff berth since 1999. How much of tonight's game will be psychological? One distinct advantage now in Atlee's favor is homefield, as the Raider program has built one of the most fan-friendly, rabid homefield advantages in local high school football. Friday nights at Atlee are an experience, not just a game.
On the field? Lee-Davis must once again contain the twin-pronged attack of quarterback Ruben Rucker, his bevy of receivers, especially Will McCombs who caught nine balls for 99 yards last Friday, and running back Jarred Hall, who looks to bounce back tonight after only gaining 65 yards on 20 carries last week. Meanwhile, Confederates quarterback Israel Vaughan must step up once again to show he can consistently perform with the top signal-callers in the Capital District (Rucker, Malcolm Bell, Sam Rogers and Maurice Canady) after having his best performance of 2011 in last week's victory. Tyrell Eaton played brilliantly last week and must produce again. More output from Chris Simpson in the running game (54 yards last week) would help keep Rucker and Company off the field.
BOTTOM LINE: Adjustments. After playing seven nights ago, it's all about adjustments. Homefield will be huge for Atlee, who are 5-0 in their friendly confines, including wins over Hanover and Highland Springs. The Raiders want to play at home again the day after Thanksgiving. Lee-Davis just wants to play again next week either at Hanover or at Dinwiddie.
-----------------------------------------
#3 Dinwiddie at #2 Hanover
Kickoff: 7:30pm
Hello again! For the fourth straight season, the Generals and Hawks meet in Division 5 playoff action. Dinwiddie has won two of the previous three, including last year's 28-21 Regional Title win at Hanover, so winning on the road is nothing new for the Generals. Darius Hawkins and Drakar Harvell (a name Hawk fans will remember from 2010) have consistently ranked as two of the top ten receivers in the Central Region this year, thanks to the strong arm of quarterback Bryan Finney. The Generals played a monster early season schedule, losing to Varina, Highland Springs and Meadowbrook en route to a 2-4 start before winning four straight to clinch their playoff berth. The Generals always bring playmakers and athletes and are playing their best ball of the season right now.
Hanover continues to be a team fighting for everything it gets in 2011. The season changed dramatically when Sam Rogers when down with an elbow injury against Henrico, handing the reins of the offense to Andrew Knizner, who has led the Hawks to a 4-1 record. Rogers returned in a slotback role the past two weeks so the Hawks can take advantage of his athleticism and north/south running ability. L.J. Jones, one of the area's leading rushers in 2011, needs at least 20 carries tonight, and triple-digit rushing numbers would go a long way to help the Hanover cause. Kicker Matt Palmen may play a role, a la the Henrico game, come crunch time.
BOTTOM LINE: Familiarity does not breed contempt here. Hanover is grateful for homefield advantage, but remembers 51 weeks ago when these same Generals ended their dreams of a third trip to the State Semifinals on Hanover turf. These hot 2011 Generals are capable of doing the same. But Coach Josh Just and staff have had two games and three weeks of practices to figure out how best to use Sam Rogers at slotback. Execution of that wrinkle may be the difference in tonight's game.

TICKETS: $8.00, available at the gates at Atlee and Hanover.
NOTE: Kickoff for playoff games is 30 minutes later than regular season games, at 7:30pm, and bundle up! Temperatures will drop into the 30s for the second straight Friday night.
