by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi Player of the Week Lancaster delivered a one-two punch with Montel Mitchell and Jamie Veney Friday to knock out James Monroe, 44-21, and keep its playoff hopes alive. After an undefeated non-district run, Lancaster (1-3, 6-3) lost its fi rst three Northern Neck games, making a Region A, Division 2 playoff berth nearly impossible. What the Devils had to do to pick up more Virginia High School League power points was topple one of the district’s two giants, James Monroe, who came into last weekend’s game at LHS with a 7-1 overall mark. The Devils did the impossible. “I’m so happy for the kids,” said LHS coach Billy Jarvis. “We’ve not played very well for the past couple of weeks and the most dishearten- ing thing was to have the crowd we Jamie Veney scored fi ve times did for homecoming then play the and forced a safety Friday to way we did. lead Lancaster in a 44-21 upset “What I wanted to do this week over James Monroe.
