PH: Directions to Potomac High School for 5A North Region Football

NOTE: KICKOFF IS AT 7:30PM.

1) Go to Interstate 95 North, take 58 miles to Exit 152-A to merge onto VA-234 S/Dumfries Road.

2) Drive 3/4 mile, turn left onto Route 1 North.

3) Travel 1.2 miles, then turn left onto Panther Pride Drive. The school will be on the left.

FRIDAY FOOTBALL FINALS

Patrick Henry 23, Douglas Freeman 21: Logan Bulthuis nailed a 33-yard field goal midway through the third quarter, then the Patriots blocked a would-be game-clinching field goal as Douglas Freeman fell by two points. The Patriots have now won five in a row and are projected as the #10 seed in the 5A North playoffs, to be matched with #7 Potomac Falls next Friday night. This is the first winning regular season for Patrick Henry since 2008; Friday will be the first postseason game for the Patriots since November 23, 2007.

Atlee 63, Lee-Davis 35: The Confederates (2-8) led at intermission 21-7 thanks to converting seven of nine third downs in the first half. But the Raiders (8-2) went on a roll, with special teams leading the way. Back-to-back blocked punts led to two scores, and a Chalin Fairly interception in the end zone extended the lead. Loumond Dandridge rushed for 232 yards and four touchdowns to finish with 1,109 yards in the regular season. Atlee is projected as the #5 seed in 5A South Central and will go to #4 LC Bird in a rematch of last year's 5A South Central championship game won by the Skyhawks 46-10.

Hanover 48, Glen Allen 16: Since his return, Clayton Cheatham has led his team to four straight victories and a projected #7 seed in the 4A South Region playoffs, where they will face #10 Tabb at home next Friday. The Hawks finish 7-3, and wonder what might have been had Cheatham not been injured in their Week 4 loss to Highland Springs.

HISTORY: Atlee Clinches First-Ever Trip To State Field Hockey Tournament....

Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Not anymore.

The Atlee field hockey team, in their 13th season of existence, finally broke through for the first, and second, regional playoff victories in school history, the second, a 4-0 win over Manchester tonight in the 5A South Region Semifinals, clinched a trip to the State 5A Final Four November 14th in Virginia Beach.

Hayley Anna scored all four goals for Atlee (15-5), two early in the first half, then two more after intermission, goals she told RVA Sports Network were not hers, but due to team effort.

Atlee will face the winner of the Gloucester/Princess Anne match to be held Thursday night for the 5A South Region Championship Friday at 6pm at the National Training Center in Virginia Beach. They return to that location Friday, November 14th for a 10am match in the 5A State Semifinals.

Alyssa Cox said it feels amazing to hear the term "State Tournament", and felt that this, her senior year, would be a special season.

FOOTBALL FRIDAY PREVIEW: WEEK 10

Rankings are based on latest NBC12/WHAN Radio Top 10 Poll....

#5 ATLEE (7-1) at #1 HIGHLAND SPRINGS (8-0): Listen LIVE beginning at 6:30pm tonight on 102.9 FM, WHAN Radio and online by CLICKING HERE!

Simply put, this is the biggest regular season game in the Central Region thus far this season. The Springers are unbeaten, coming off an impressive 18-6 win at Henrico, proving they can win low-scoring, defensive struggles as well as shootouts. The Atlee defense will be hard pressed to stop all the available weapons, from Michigan State commit wide receiver Felton Davis, Old Dominion commit Marcus Taylor and K.C. Hinton, to D.J. Anderson, K'Von Wallace, Tank Scott and more. Javon Carter has progressed at quarterback as a sophomore. It will be up to the Atlee defensive line to put as much pressure on him as possible, disrupting the rhythm of the Springer offense.

For Atlee, they rang up 56 unanswered points to put away Armstrong last week. With their own set of weapons, including quarterback Rashard Harris and tailback Loumond Dandridge, the Raiders can score from anywhere at anytime. Highland Springs hasn't seen an offense this prolific yet this season. They allowed 30 points to Armstrong three weeks ago, but nothing over 19 points otherwise. That likely changes tonight.

As much offense that will be on this field tonight, the game will likely come down to whichever defense plays the most consistently. Last year, Atlee won at home 49-42. Can the Springers return the favor?

#10 HANOVER (5-3) at VARINA (4-4), 7pm: The Hawks remain stuck as the precarious #8 seed in 4A South. After winning two straight post-return of sophomore quarterback Clayton Cheatham from a hand injury, Hanover is on a roll, scoring 95 points in those victories. Varina, though, has also righted their ship, and are in a dogfight for the eighth and final playoff berth in the 6A South Sub-Region with James River and Riverbend. The winner tonight takes a huge step forward in either securing home-field in the first round of the playoffs (Hanover) or in simply making the postseason (Varina). Hanover's last win over Varina? 49-28, in 2010.

DEEP RUN (0-8) at PATRICK HENRY (4-4), 7pm: Finally, a senior class has more to play for than just pride on Senior Night in Ashland as the Patriots can all but clinch a 5A North playoff berth, their first postseason berth in seven years, with a win in the annual "Camo Bowl" against a Wildcats team that has hit rock bottom under second-year coach David Davis, falling at home to Thomas Jefferson last week 20-17.

Hunter Hart has performed admirably as a freshman quarterback, giving first-year head coach Bryan Davis a foundation for building a program. Look for Bender Vaught to have a big night running the football, doing it with purpose as PH looks to win five games in a season for the first time in four years, helping ensure they play an eleventh game this season.

LEE-DAVIS (2-6) at ARMSTRONG (5-3), 6:30pm: The Confederates play for pride the final two weeks, as their playoff hopes were ended with the home loss to Hanover last Friday. This is the first time since 2008 that Lee-Davis will finish with a losing record. They face an Armstrong team that has lost three straight after a 5-0 start, trying to get momentum back on their side as, if healthy, and playing as well as they did early in the season, the Wildcats have the potential to make noise in the 3A East playoffs. But they must cut down on mistakes, especially on special teams. Lee-Davis' best chance for a road win tonight are if they can play mistake-free football, keep the Wildcat offense off the field with long drives, and capitalizing on the Armstrong miscues when they come.

ADVISORY: Lee-Davis at Armstrong Football Parking and Game Time

Information for Lee-Davis fans....

1) ARMSTRONG'S HOMECOMING GAME PARKING
We have just been informed by the Armstrong High Administration that the Lee-Davis fan base should make plans to park in the central parking lot of the school or in the grass behind the school and enter the Stadium from the rear of the building by their tennis courts.  This is the same area where our team buses will be parked and our team enters.  This change is due to the Homecoming festivities that will be going on prior to the game at Armstrong.

2) VARSITY FOOTBALL VS. ARMSTRONG NOW A 6:30PM START

Yellow Jackets Men's Hoops Picked To Win ODAC....

With ten of twelve first-place voters, the Randolph-Macon men's basketball team is the preseason choice, for the second straight year, to capture the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) Championship.

Head Coach Nathan Davis looks to take the Jackets to its sixth NCAA Tournament berth in this, his sixth year on the sidelines at his alma mater, while overcoming a disappointing end to last year, when Randolph-Macon lost in the ODAC Tournament quarterfinals, then fell at home in overtime to DeSales in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Joe Hassell and Akeem Holmes look to pick up the inside slack for the departed Andre Simon, while all of the outside shooters are back in the fold, led by Connor Sullivan and Chris Hamilton.

Read about the ODAC Preseason Poll by CLICKING HERE.

Randolph-Macon begins the 2014-15 season with a tough non-conference matchup in Fredericksburg at Mary Washington, November 16th at 4pm. Their schedule is available by CLICKING HERE.

FIELD HOCKEY: All-Conference 11 Teams, Championship Result....

Henrico's one tally stood up as Frances Pugh shut down the Atlee Raiders offense to capture the Conference 11 Tournament Championship 1-0 Wednesday evening at Douglas Freeman High School.

Zhanee Jackson scored the match's lone goal in the 16th minute to give the Warriors the victory.

Atlee does advance to the 5A South Region Tournament, facing Conference 12 champion Matoaca Monday at 6pm at River City SportsPlex in Chesterfield.

HCS Media Network Becomes "RVA Sports Network"

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                                        October 20, 2014

     HCS Media Network Rebrands As The “RVA Sports Network”

   (Name change covers online broadcast channel, key social media components)

HCS Media, LLC announced today they have rebranded their online sports broadcast service and social media channel system from “HCS Media Network” to the “RVA Sports Network”, to better reflect the company’s array of media offerings.

“Simply put, we’ve outgrown our parent name,” said Bonnie Witham, Owner and Chief Executive Officer. “The name RVA Sports Network truly reflects the many avenues where we keep sports fans informed and engaged, from live broadcasts to nine social media channels, including the second-largest combined Twitter audience that caters to sports in the Richmond area, only behind the Richmond Times-Dispatch.”

HCS began covering sports in Hanover County in 2002, adding HanoverCountySports.net in 2011 and the popular Twitter feed @hanoversports in May, 2012. Similar websites and Twitter feeds were debuted in Henrico County a year later, followed by Chesterfield County in August, 2013.

“Our Twitter feeds, and our overall philosophies will not change,” Witham noted. “We believe in hyper-local coverage, engaging our audience with the information they want, whether through one or multiple feeds, and with 24/7 engagement.”

The RVA Sports Network will continue to set the pace as the exclusive home for online radio broadcasts of live high school sports, scheduling some 70 events throughout the current school year.  A central Web hub, RVASportsNetwork.com, will debut soon to give fans a home base with which to access all HCS Media, LLC properties.

The new name extends to YouTube, Instagram (RVASportsNet), and Vine (RVA Sports Network), and debuts live Friday when Lee-Davis faces Hanover on the High School Game of The Week. RVA Sports Network has its own Twitter feed, @TheRVASportsNet, to advise fans of future broadcasts, special social media features, and more, including increased coverage of sports within the City of Richmond, including Richmond City Public Schools.

Coverage on RVA Sports Network includes high school sports, college sports featuring VCU, Richmond, Randolph-Macon, Virginia Union, Virginia State and Richard Bland College, plus NASCAR, Atlantic 10 Women’s Basketball, the Washington Redskins’ annual training camp, and much more.
