Their second touchdown of the night came on a 29yard screen pass from quarterback Christian Hackenberg (the topranked quarterback in the nation and a Penn State commit) to running back Nick King. Their third touchdown also came via-King, this time on an 18-yard run. He fi nished the night with 17 carries for 143 yards, three rushing touchdowns and one receiving touchdown. Amazingly, he’s not even Fork Union’s fi rst-string tailback. That would be Jeremy Bell, who didn’t make the trip to Powhatan due to undisclosed reasons. The Powhatan defense fi nally got to Hackenberg on Fork Union’s fi - nal drive of the fi rst half. Hackenberg heaved a deep ball down the sideline but undershot his mark by about fi ve yards, allowing Norris Goode to leap up and make an acrobatic interception. But the Powhatan offense only had enough time for two plays, and the Indians went into the locker room trailing 21-0. The Indians captured their fi rst fi rst-down of the game on their initial drive of the second half. On fourth-and-short from the Fork Union 41, Jackson sliced through the defense for a six yard gain. On the very next play, Joe Lewis scrambled 36 yards for Powhatan’s fi rst touchdown, effectively cutting FU- MA’s lead to 21-7. After holding the Blue Devils’ offense to a three-and-out, it seemed as though the Indians were poised to fi ght their way back into the game. But the offense stalled on three consecutive plays. The Fork Union offense then countered with a 9 play, 73-yard drive that was capped off with a 30-yard touchdown run by King. The extra point was blocked, but the touchdown gave FUMA a commanding 27-7 lead. The rout was offi cially on. Fork Union would tack on two more touchdowns - a 39-yard touchdown pass from Hackenberg to Christian Brown and a 5-yard run by Nick King - to stretch their lead to 41-7. Powhatan scored twice as well, although both touchdowns came with the game well out of reach. The difference in quarterback play between the two teams could not have been more polarized. Hackenberg completed 10-of-15 passes for 149 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. The 2285083-01 PUBLISH: DEADLINE: Jan. 25th Jan. 18th Feb. 22nd Feb. 15th Mar. 21st Mar. 14th April. 25th April 18th May 23rd May 16th June 20th June 13th three Powhatan quarterbacks - Garrett, Lewis and freshman Peyton Mawyer - were a combined 3-of-16 for 36 yards and an interception. Powhatan’s most successful drive was orchestrated by Mawyer, although it came against Fork Union’s second-team defense. With time ticking away in the fi nal frame, Mawyer, with a little help from running back L.J. Jackson, led the Indians on a 14-play, 60-yard drive topped off with a 2-yard run by Jackson. Mawyer showed a few glimpses of athleticism, but looked very green overall. It was Jackson’s second touchdown of the season. The loss is a tough one to swallow, for sure, but by no means does it spell complete disaster for the Indians. Since Fork Union is a private school, the loss doesn’t factor in to Powhatan’s fi nal VHSL power ranking. So, for all intents and purposes, this game was nothing more than a glorifi ed exhibition, a chance for Powhatan to compete against toptier talent without having the outcome impact their place in the standings. Also, let’s not forget that the 2011 Indians started 1-2 before reeling off nine consecutive victories and reaching the Region II championship game. The Indians will host former Southside district foe Greensville (0-3) next Friday. The Eagles closest game to date is a 43-20 loss to Bruton during the fi rst week of the season.

PHOTO BY PATRICK DOBBS JT Taylor hustles up field looking for a crease in the defense during the Knights’ recent game against Kenston Forest. Taylor: Toughest part of the game? Defeat Continued from page 1B asked my parents if I could play and the next day they signed me up. What has been the most difficult thing to master about the game? The most diffi cult thing to master about football is accepting defeat, cause once the game is over you go back through your mind saying to yourself, “I should have done this instead of this,” or “If I did this then we would have won,” and it just runs through your mind the whole night and you start to beat up on yourself and lower your self-confi dence. What came naturally to you about football? Picking up the plays, whether its running the offensive routes to remembering defensive responsibilities it just came real easy to me. What is your biggest asset as a player? My biggest asset as a player is my defense. I am great at reading the quaterback which allows me to see where he will be throwing it, and I think my coverage is the best its ever been.I like to call my zone the “no fl y zone” which means any ball that is thrown my way is either incomplete of intercepted. What are you hoping to improve this year? I really am determined to improve my speed by the end of the season. I want to turn my 4.84 40 yard dash into a 4.7 or below. What is your ultimate goal for this season? To bring another state championship back to Blessed Sacrament Huguenot for the fourth time in a row. What nickname do your teammates call you? The Honey Badger after Tyrann Mathieu from LSU. What has been your proudest moment on the field? My proudest moment on the fi eld happened last year against Fuqa in the playoff game where I returned an interception for 65 yards. The 6 th Annual Pink Tie Gala presented by October 20 th 2012 7:30 pm to 12:30 am at the Greater Richmond Convention Center Ballroom www.pinktiegala.org (804) 745-0006 Powhatan Today, September 19, 2012 Page 3B Most embarrassing moment on the field? My most embarrassing moment on the fi eld happened during my second year of football and it was when I just came out of the game on offense and I was supposed to be on the fi eld for defense but instead I took a water break and all the coaches were yelling “Where’s JT? Where’s JT?” and all of a sudden I ran on the fi eld during the middle of the play and accidentally blocked my own teammate because I thought we were on offense, and of course they scored on that play. What is the best advice you have received about playing the game, and who was it from? Luck is where preparation and opportunity cross, from coach Ron Gundry. One thing most people don’t know about you? One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I also play basketball and lacrosse. Points: Size is the matter for players now Continued from page 1B weighed 155 pounds because she wasn’t feeding him right (my typical high school lunch was four peanut butter and banana sandwiches and two cartons of whole milk – delicious and nutritious). The biggest kid I ever went headto-head with was a 245-pound nose guard, but the difference was that he was a fat 245 pounds. It’s not at all unusual for a high school offensive line to average 245 pounds today, but, more importantly, it is generally 245 pounds of muscle. Today’s high school athlete spends as much as 12 months a year in the weight room. Now extrapolate that to the college game and then on to professional football. At each step we encounter bigger, faster athletes who are even more conditioned. And that’s not just the running backs and linebackers, it’s every position. (I never will forget the body on Terrell Owens as he did sit ups in his driveway, and that was in his declining years.) It seems obvious to me that the potential for serious injury increases as our athletes get bigger, stronger and faster. I’m sure some physics professor can fi ll up a blackboard with the formula that proves this, while equipment technology, particularly at the professional level has lagged behind. Because of this the National Football League is about to take a legal beating that, while it may not destroy them, is going to be a substantial monetary burden.

It certainly is no coincidence that Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the thirty million dollar grant to the United States Army and the National Institute of Health for research into the prevention and treatment of traumatic brain injuries a the day before a prestigious medical study revealed that NFL players are four times more likely to develop Alzheimer’s or ALS then the average citizen. Claims that the NFL failed to meet their obligations to protect their employees from the TBI’s, and now Alzheimer’s and ALS, are going to be suffi cient for the Commissioner to paper his spacious offi ce walls with. Now add legal action on behalf of NFL players who suffered multiple concussions during their careers and committed suicide. Frankly, I don’t know where the credit lies, but there does not appear to be an insidious problem with head injuries at the high school level. I can’t remember more than three, maybe four concussions in all the high school games I’ve covered in the past eight years. I do know that there is a very aggressive research program for equipment safety at Wake Forest University aimed at athletes at the high school level and below. Hopefully, whatever is being done to protect our young athletes will not only continue to be successful, but also improve at a faster rate than our young athletes develop. Knights: Coach says team doesn’t ever quit Continued from page 1B ory the Knights threw more often then they ran the ball (24 to 23), the Barons shut them down. Blue Ridge started slowly, collecting only a 40-yard fi eld goal in the fi rst quarter and a short touchdown run in the second, to lead by only 10-0 at the half. “It seemed pretty positive for us,” coach Fritts said. As in most private school rosters, an injury generally effects both sides of the ball. In the Knights’ case the injury to Sam Drewicz took away their primary big-play receiver as well as their deep threat defender. Couple that with RJ Whit‘s injury – both were hospitalized and later released – and another top-fl ight deep defender and capable receiver was lost. “We were forced to play freshman that had little or no experience playing in the secondary,” Fritts said. Despite this attrition and their inability to mount a consistent offense, the BSH defense kept Blue Ridge off the board for the entire third quarter. “Defensively, we were in the right places, but their speed and quickness kept beating us,” Fritts recalled. As more and more of the the Blessed Sacrament players fell to injury, the Blue Ridge offense was able to push across another score early in the fi nal stanza. But if the young Knights do have an identity it is that they never quit. “They really never do give up and fi ght to the very end,” their coach said. Midway through the fi - nal period, the Knights drove to the Barons’ 22 yard line. Desperate to score, Fritts instructed quarterback Stephen Bendle – who was playing with an injured throwing shoulder – “put some air under it and throw it where, if Robbie [Baxter] can’t catch it, nobody else can.” Bendele followed his coach’s instructions to the letter and led Baxter perfectly for the touchdown. Justin Cary’s point-after was good as the Knights closed the gap to 17-7. But the Barons put together another sustained drive and took advantage of a depeleted BSH roster to punch across the fi nal score from the one-yard line. After the game, Fritts analyzed both teams. “Blue Ridge is going to be a great team,” he said. “They have some real athletes, but this is only their second game and they really haven’t put all the pieces together yet. When they do they’re going to be a real contender.” Of his own team he said, “They just never quit fi ghting. It’s kind of our MO and if we can continue to fi ght like that were going to be all right.” Conveniences Watch satellite TV or listen to your favorite music while receiving treatment.
