  Offense: Inexperience is the key word. Nine starters have departed. RB Easton Gordon (5-9, 170, Sr.) and center Josh Dolin (5-11, 235, Sr.) are the only holdovers. Gordon should be one of the region’s top running backs. Brendon Riddick (5-11, 175, Jr.) takes over at QB. He has a superb target in Derrick Britt (5-9, 170, Sr.). The line has good size with all the projected starters weighing 230 or more. Three of them are juniors.

T.J. class of’59donates library chairs D2 The 1959 class of Thomas Jefferson High School has been operating for half-century on the motto, “Doing Fine Since’59.“ After the group’s recent 50th reunion, the school is feeling fine, too. Classmates presented the school a check for $4,800 to buy new chairs for the library during their “Memory Lane Tour” of the building.

Without taking their eyes off each other, the students put pencil to paper and started drawing. Moments later, the table in the second-floor room of the Visual Arts Center was covered in simple line drawings of the four Richmond high school students.
