The Chesterfield County/Colonial Heights Crime Solvers program needs your help to solve a robbery. Around 2:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 9, a young man was standing outside his apartment in the 3900 block of Handel Court in Squire Hill Apartments. A gold-colored sedan, possibly a Toyota, stopped near him and a black male wearing all-black clothing and a mask got out of the driver’s side front seat. He pointed a gun toward the victim’s feet and demanded his shoes. The victim refused, so a second black male suspect exited the vehicle from the rear passenger side. Before that passenger reached…

I assume that most of you either saw the pictures or heard the story of the McKenney pumper and Dinwiddie sheriff’s vehicle that were struck on I-85, by a tractor-trailer. The units were working an accident at 2 a.m. in the morning, when the second accident occurred. I know very few details about this incident, but I spent my last four years, blocking for the engine or serving as the Tactical Safety Officer. Interstates and other limited access roadways present tremendous safety challenges to fire, police and EMS personnel. You have noticed that the entire back of new ambulances and…

With their 13-7 victory last Friday night over Cosby at Ed Karpus field, Thomas Dale secured a date with destiny this Saturday. The Knights, who won the 2009 state championship, will get a rematch with Oscar Smith, the team they defeated 20-17 in the state semi-finals when late coach Vic Williams led them to the Promised Land. “Let’s do this for coach Williams and Ben Brockwell!” a player yelled in the huddle after the victory Friday night’s win. That has been a theme for the Knights this season. From the recurring green and pink socks they have worn for renal…
BOYS Coming off of a great 23-3 season, the Skyhawk boys will be looking for vengeance. They went out in the 5A regional semifinals in a double-overtime heart-breaker against Henrico in what many felt was the essentially the state championship game. The Warriors cruised through the playoffs to the title. Despite the loss of Kenny Williams (UNC) and C.J. Miles (Roanoke College) the Skyhawks will simply reload, not rebuild. Projected Starting Five G – Johquin Wiley G – Mario Haskett F – Charles Falden F – Tahkey Williams C – Jyles Webster Top Player: Mario Haskett is this year’s top…
BOYS Meadowbrook finished 17-7 last year, and this year’s version of the team is going to have to work hard to reach last year’s level of success. They graduated all five starters (Antonio Davis, Khylil James, Tyshawn Jeter, Elijah Baker and Wesley Hardaway), but they should get a boost from James “Amp” Williams who transferred from Clover Hill. The Monarchs ended their season last year in a 63-59 loss to Matoaca, coming in the Conference 12 tournament. Projected Starting Five G – Alphonzo Mason G – Daequan Young G – James Williams F – Jordan Jeter F – Richard Legree…

He is returning again for his senior year to start at point guard. Elijah is going to be the focal point for the Knights offense this year. Gregory was last…
