The light above the original 13 colonynameplates in Constitution Hall changedfrom a gushing green to a Highlander redin the late afternoon of Thursday, June 13,

the day of McLean High's graduation. Of the 521 se-niors who proceeded across the stage, 21 percent ofthem did so with honors.

Their keynote speaker, CIA Deputy Director MichaelMorell, gave the Class of 2013 key principles of how tolive one’s life. He told two stories about Sept. 11, 2001:the two people’s stories were Father Mychal Judge andLieutenant Kevin P. Shaeffer.

Morell said that the stories underscored six life prin-ciples: do something that you love, work hard, haveintegrity, honor those who fight for our freedom, be agood family member and friend, and give back to thecommunity. The Highlander graduating class was en-couraged to possess the intangible characteristics ofcourage, commitment and passion to name a few.

Morell quoted PresidentJohn F. Kennedy by saying “towhom much is given, much isexpected.” Morell went on totell those sitting in the audi-ence that they had hit thetrifecta of attending “a greatschool, in a great region, in agreat nation” therefore theywere put in a great position todo great things.

Before finally graduating,Madelyn Paquette addressedher fellow students by askingthem to define many differentthings from McLean. The wordsranged from made up terms foreveryday school activities, torival schools such as LangleyHigh School, and lastly to de-fine what McLean means tothem.

The 469 graduates inLangley High School’sClass of 2013 had towait before they could

walk across the stage in Constitu-tion Hall to receive their long cov-eted diplomas. On the Thursdaymorning of June 13, when poten-tial torrential rainstorms movedswiftly in the Washington D.C.area, a tardy bus delayed the cer-emonies 16 minutes.

The Langley band, however, would eventually playPomp and Circumstance as the Saxons walked downthe aisle one last time as seniors. There would be notwo separate entrances due to transportation diffi-culties, because those who made it on time waitedfor the one bus that was split up from the group butnot left behind. In this way, it made sense that theClass of 2013 defined themselves as “selfless.”

In fact their speaker, Ambassador HenryCrumpton’s speech was all about selflessness andservice. The man who was inspired to join the CIAafter seeing the James Bondmovie “Thunderbolt,” im-plored the graduating Saxonsto “know themselves beforeyou can achieve true virtue.”Crumpton also quoted theGreek philosopher Heraclituswhen he told the graduates “aman’s character is his fate.”

Crumpton, also the formerhead of the CIA’s National Re-sources Division and the leader

of the United States’ response to the 9/11 TerroristAttacks, told his audience to forever continue self-less service throughout their lives to their nation,community and family. “You make a living by whatyou get,” Crumpton ended his address, adding, “youmake a life by what you give.”

Principle Matthew Ragone awarded Margaret RosieMahoney and Zach Dailey the Principal’s ServiceAwards and Senior class President Natalie Rasmuswon the Principal’s Award. Cameron Ayoub was giventhe Faculty Award. As promised by Mr. Ragone, therewas no rain after the ceremony.

For The Connection

Long-time Spring Hill Elementary kindergar-ten teacher Arlene Connolly is retiring af-ter 22 years at the McLean school. Connolly,a native of Manhasset, N.Y., taught in New

York before moving with her husband, Joe, to theWashington, D.C. area in 1971.

Connolly has had a major impact on thousands ofMcLean children, being their first elementary schoolteacher. Indeed, one of her proudest moments waswhen a graduating Langley High School commence-ment speaker thanked her for being such a positiveearly influence and making a lasting impression.

After raising her family of four—three girls and aboy—Connolly returned to teaching, starting atSpring Hill in 1981. It was former Spring Hill Princi-pal Betsy Rice who recruited Arlene to teach kinder-garten. According to Connolly: “Betsy said, ‘you re-ally should come back to teaching’ and she talkedme into it and I never looked back!”

Betsy recalls, “I like to joke that Arlene came intomy office looking for a kindergarten aide job and

walked out with a teacher’s job; and she has spentthe last 22 years proving that she was a great hire.Arlene brings joy into her classroom and she loveschildren. Arlene makes learning fun, such that the

Talking, Acting To Keep Them SafeReducing drug- andalcohol-related fatalities.

Editorial

The pages and covers of most of thisweek’s Connection Newspapersshow the joy and accomplishmentassociated with high school gradu-

ation. The day celebrates graduates who ac-complished much just by finishing, graduatesheaded to college and more.

Most area high schools also celebrate withan all-night graduation party, an event de-signed and coordinated by parents to providegraduates with safe and appealing fun, withmany schools organizing an annual party formore than 20 years.

It was, for example, the 25thannual All Night Drug and Al-cohol-Free Graduation Celebra-tion for T.C. Williams HighSchool when the class of 2013

held its party on Saturday, June 15. Since 1989,when this tradition began at T.C. Williams,there have been no drug or alcohol-relatedgraduation night fatalities.

Herndon High School parents have been pro-viding a memorable evening for our graduatesin an alcohol and drug free atmosphere formore than 20 years, and report that, “since theAll Night Grad Celebrations began, we arehappy to say there have been no alcohol ordrug related fatalities on graduation night.”

Summer is the beginning of many celebra-tions for young people in this area, and manyof them, whether underage or over 21, admitthat they celebrate with alcohol. Chances arethat if your household includes a high schoolstudent, that student sometimes consumes al-cohol. Graduation night is not the only dangerlurking, as everyone knows.

All night graduation parties provide not onlya safe place on graduation night, but also manyopportunities before and after to talk aboutdrinking and driving. There is no substitute forparents talking to their children about drink-ing, no matter how awkward, no matter how

many eye-rolls you must endure. Driving whileunder the influence, or getting into a car as apassenger with someone who is impaired, isnot the only danger of drinking, but it is oneof the most avoidable.

On graduation day in 2007, West PotomacHigh School endured the unimaginable trag-edy. Two young women who had graduatedjust hours before died in a car driven by an-other young woman who had alcohol in hersystem. The driver and another passenger, a2005 West Potomac graduate, also died in that

crash.If you’ve successfully raised a teenager

through high school graduation, it is unbear-able to think of losing him or her now. Talk.Tell them you love them. Tell them it’s beenway too much trouble to get to this point torisk losing them now. Tell them that you willcome and get them, without consequences, anytime they need a ride to avoid getting in a carwith someone who has been drinking and/orotherwise under the influence. Look them inthe eyes. Say the words.

Letters to the Editor

Call to BanOutdoor SmokingTo the Editor:

As a teenager, I really dislikesmelling smoke from cigarettes,cigars, etc. I highly agree withStarbucks’ ban of smoking on theiroutdoor patios. The rest of thecommunity should consider ban-ning outdoor smoking also. Myfamily and I want to eat outside,but most times people are smok-ing. Sometimes, we go outside andnobody is smoking, but after a fewminutes, someone lights up.Breathing second-hand smoke isnot healthy for anyone, and din-ing outside is more enjoyable with-out smoke.

Young RefereesFace VerbalAbuseTo the Editor:

Youth recreational basketballhas finally ended. These days, chil-dren can play in house leaguesfrom November through finalplayoff games in June. What theyneed and can’t play without how-ever, not counting coaches, leagueadministrators and venues, are thereferees.

My 18-year-old son has been ayouth basketball referee for thepast six years. At 12 he refereed

second grade boys and girlsgames. Each year he worked hisway up, reaching eighth gradegames this season. This year, healso spent $120 of his own moneyto join the Cardinal BasketballOfficial’s Association; a 10-weekprogram offering a blend of class-room and game-based learningthat is intended to get you readyto referee junior varsity highschool basketball.

It is a thankless job, and at timescan be stressful when dealing withspectators and coaches. What I’venever understood over all theseyears is the verbal abuse theseyoung referees experience fromcoaches and parents alike. Ap-proximately 75 percent of youthreferees quit within two years dueto this abuse. There would be no

games or leagues without a cadreof good, dedicated refs. Countlesstimes my son has been called atthe last minute to work a game.I’ve seen him sacrifice personaltime to make sure these games canbe played.

So think about that, coaches andparents, the next time you yell atthe ref. Leave the Bobby Knightantics for the college and progames. Nobody gets every callright, but it’s not for lack of train-ing or effort. In the end, it’s notabout wins and losses at this level.It’s about teaching children thefundamentals of the sport andmore importantly, some basic fun-damentals of life.

students don’t even know learning is happening.She is a fantastic person.”

Early on in her tenure, Connolly and fellow kin-dergarten teacher Nancy Stansberry started theSpring Hill tradition of the annual “KindergartenExtravaganza.” The show involved all students withfun and witty musical performances and skits set tothe school calendar and holidays. It became a popu-lar and memorable staple of the Spring Hill studentexperience.

“Thousands of parents have tapes of the SpringHill Kindergarten Extravaganza and the six graderswould sing along to the performances—so it wasimportant that Arlene and Nancy not change theshow,” Betsy Rice said.

Current Spring Hill principal, Roger Vanderhye,said, “It is difficult to describe completely the im-pact Arlene Connolly has had on Spring Hill Elemen-tary School during her tenure here. Arlene is anoutstanding educator and a consummate profes-sional. Besides her incredible teaching abilities, shealso educates young children, mostly by example, tobe ethical, respectful, helpful and hard working.

“Arlene has always used impeccable judgment inher interactions with all school stakeholders and herpositions of responsibility as team leader, head men-tor, representative from our school to thesuperintendent’s advisory committee, and other lead-ership positions, has allowed Arlene to transcend herjob of teacher to one of master educator. She will besorely missed by all who know her both profession-ally and personally,” he said.

The Connection

Today, Henry Lopez hasa bright future, com-plete with a full schol-arship to college. It

wasn’t always that way, however,and he remembers being a pre-school student in a foreign coun-try, unfamiliar with the languageand culture, fighting to learn, to fitin, to avoid falling into a gang.

The Boys & Girls Clubs provedan invaluable help to him in thisstruggle, and Henry was actuallyjust selected as the Boys & GirlsClubs Youth of the Year for Districtof Columbia and Commonwealthof Virginia.

“For my family, the Americandream when we came here in 1999was survival,” said Henry, whograduated from JEB Stuart HighSchool in Falls Church last week.“In Guatemala, my parents realizedthat there was no money [or] op-portunity to obtain it, so the onlyway to care for my [family] was tocome to the United States.”

THAT DREAM has gone far be-yond survival, as Henry was ac-cepted into George MasonUniversity’s Honors College andawarded a full academic scholar-ship to the Fairfax school as a Uni-versity Scholar. Henry was one of 21 students se-lected from a pool of 1,500 appli-cants who were expected to “pos-sess exemplary records of academicachievement … demonstrate evi-

dence of intellectual vision, a com-mitment to the obligations of citi-zenship and the potential to over-come obstacles and solve challeng-ing problems,” according to An-thony Dyer Hoefer. Ph.D., the di-rector of Mason’s University Schol-ars Program and an Old Town Al-exandria resident.

His college application wasn’tthe first time he impressed GeorgeMason officials, however. Whilestill in the eighth grade, Henry wasaccepted into George Mason’sEarly Identification Program,which supports and enriches stu-dents who will be the first in theirfamilies to attend college.

“He was an exceptional first gen-eration college student,” said LewisE. Forrest II, the program’s execu-tive director. “Recently, I was look-ing over his eighth grade applica-tion and he stated that his numberone goal was to go to college. Notonly has he met that goal, he hasgained a positive reputation beforehe has even enrolled in classes hereat Mason.”

Henry graduated with a 4.3 GPAas a member of the National HonorSociety, as well as vice presidentof the JEB Stuart High School’schapter of the Spanish Honor So-ciety.

Among an exhaustive list of aca-demic and extracurricular accom-plishments, he also served on hishigh school’s Student GovernmentAssociation and ran on the varsitycross-country team. While he’sproud of his accomplishments, hegives much of the credit to the sup-

port he received from his parentsand the Boys & Girls Clubs ofGreater Washington (BGCGW),Farifax region located in FallsChurch, Mount Vernon andHerndon.

Henry says his appreciation ofhard work came from his parents:Emerita Lopez, who works as ahousekeeper, and Arnoldo Lopez,a day laborer.

“Witnessing my parents physi-cally push themselves every dayhad a tremendous impact on me,”said Henry. “I saw their situationand they constantly reminded methat they didn’t want me to cleanhouses or mow lawns.”

Emerita said she and her hus-band had loftier goals for Henry,his 21-year-old sister Yuri andhis 13-year-old brother William.“I came here with my husbandbecause it meant a much betterlife for my kids, but I had towork hard every day,” she said.

THE LOPEZ FAMILY moved tothe Culmore neighborhood ofFalls Church 15 years ago. It’san area with affordable housing,but also gang activity, so theLopezes found protection fortheir children in the form of theCulmore Chapter of the Boys &Girls Clubs.

“I start working at 8 in the morn-ing and finished at 8 at night,” saidEmerita. “I work as a housekeeperso we don’t have much money forbabysitters. I was looking for a safeplace for my kids while I workedlong hours. When [they were] at

the club, I knew that [they were]safe.”

Henry says that at the time, hewas unaware of the danger thatlurked in Culmore. “I had to growup at a young age,” he said.

The Boys & Girls Clubs not onlyprovided safety, it taught him todream. “It would have been veryeasy to be influenced by gang ac-tivity because my parents wereworking all the time,” he said. “TheBoys & Girls Clubs gave activities,provided me a place to go to learnabout college and explore careers.Had it not been for the Boys & GirlsClubs, I would not have had thevision of going to college.”

Wonhee Kang, regional directorof the Fairfax County Region Boys& Girls Clubs of Greater Washing-ton, has served an important role

in Henry’s life. “When I first methim, he was 4,” she said. “It wasright after he arrived in this coun-try from Guatemala. When he firstcame to the club, he didn’t speakany English. He was hiding and hewas very shy.”

Over the past 14 years, Kang has

watched Lopez evolve from thatshy little boy into an eloquent ora-tor and a proficient scholar. “I’vebeen watching him grow year af-ter year. He learned slowly aboutculture, culture of the club andcommunity,” she said. “There weretimes when he didn’t have appro-priate clothes for speaking engage-ments and competitions so wemade sure that he had a suit. I tookhim to our Youth of the Year com-petition in Newport News, Va., andthat was his first time staying ahotel. The kids may not have[much] financially, but these areamazing young people.”

Kang said that Henry was alwaysinterested in academics. “He en-joyed the power hour, which is timefor studying and homework. Thatmade him strong academically and

helped him earn a scholarship toGeorge Mason University. He gotinto five universities, but he got afull scholarship from George Ma-son.”

Henry was selected to speak atthe 28th Annual Tim Russert Con-gressional Dinner presented by the

Boys & Girls Clubs of GreaterWashington last month, an impor-tant annual fundraising event forthe Boys & Girls Clubs. Kang alsoinvited Henry’s entire family “be-cause this is a once-in-a-lifetimeevent for Henry.

It was the first time in Henry’slife his father was able to attendone of his activities. “It is not thatdoesn’t want to,” Kang said. “A lotof times his work schedule doesn’tallow it, but he is also afraid to goto events where the majority ofpeople speak English and hedoesn’t.”

Kang’s effort to ensure thatHenry’s family attended the dinnerproved to be a profound gesture.“I was overwhelmed the wholetime because I had never gone tosuch an elegant event,” saidHenry’s father, Arnoldo, through aninterpreter. “Tears could not stayaway as [Henry] spoke. It was hardfor me to believe that he was talk-ing in front of so many people.”

DURING HIS SPEECH, Henrytold the crowd about the chal-lenges he faced growing up in Vir-ginia as an immigrant with finan-cial limitations.

“Looking back, the Clubs taughtme to channel my responsibilitiesand develop a balance, providingme with a normal childhood. If itwere not for the Boys & GirlsClubs, I would not be pursuing ev-ery resource to make a better fu-ture for myself and others.”

Representatives from GeorgeMason were in the audience forHenry’s speech. “There were mem-bers of Congress, multimillionairedonors and representatives fromthe community who spoke,” saidHoefer. Henry, however, “was theone person who blew the crowdaway. People were teary and get-ting choked up. He’s the best ex-ample of what those programs cando for kids who don’t have oppor-tunities.”

When Henry begins college thisfall, he will be embarking on a life-time of potential and fulfilling oneof the first goals that he set for him-self. “The chance of college is a realopportunity and I’m willing towork for it,” said Henry.

“It is personal story for me, butit is [also] a story for other youthin search of the American dreameven if they have financial limita-tions.”

Rising to Boys & Girls Clubs ‘Youth of the Year’With the help of the Boys & Girls Clubs, a localimmigrant student has received a full college scholarship.

Henry Lopez (pictured here in Guatemala with his sisterYuri) moved with his family to Falls Church in search ofthe American dream. Earlier this month, he graduatedfrom high school with a 4.3 G.P.A., was awarded a fullscholarship to George Mason University and was selectedas the Boys & Girls Clubs Youth of the Year for District ofColumbia and Commonwealth of Virginia.

“It would have been very easy to beinfluenced by gang activity because myparents were working all the time. The Boys& Girls Clubs gave activities, provided me[with] a place to go to learn about collegeand explore careers.

Churchill Road fourth graders held their secondannual farmer’s market in the school’s butterfly gar-den on June 4-5 and thanks to the efforts of fourthgrade teachers Aubrey Beiswenger, Rachel Dunleavy,David Ickowski, Nick Kilpatrick, Claire McHale andMary-Lynn Robosky, these 10-year-olds learned aboutentrepreneurship firsthand.

Over the course of the year, these students re-searched colonial herbs by planting them, findingways to care for them, harvesting them and then turn-ing them into products to sell at this school-basedfarmers market.

The young business owners participated in lessonstaught by professional marketing and business ana-lysts, which were designed to help with the econom-ics behind the market, including the advertising andmarketing of their products such as “Wholly Pooh”(homemade worm fertilizer), liquid cleaner, thymeolive oil, mint lemonade and soothing lavender soap.The students also decorated clay pots containing to-mato plants as part of the silent auction. The students’marketing and pricing strategies paid off; they wereable to turn a healthy profit on their products.

Different from last week’s columnon the testing subject, “Full Circle,”this week’s column addresses anotheremotional battleground: the unknown.Other than selling computers out ofFrank Costanza’s house and reaching a“Serenity Now”-type nirvana witheach sale, outlets available to yourstruly – one of many terminal cancerpatients anticipating results from a CTscan of my lungs/upper torso, and inturn awaiting the electronic exchangefrom my oncologist advising me of saidresults – are difficult to come by. Andeven though I’m experienced at thisprocess, four-plus years and counting,literally; and accustomed as well to the“cycle of loom,” familiar it hasbecome; easier however, it has not.

In effect, this testing and waiting forthe results is its own test: of patience,self-discipline, endurance, forbear-ance; so I tell myself: “Serenity Now,”and hope there’s not insanity later, asthere was for Lloyd Braun on this mostmemorable Seinfeld episode.

However much I want to pretend,deny and minimize the significance ofthese results, the reality is, my life sortof depends on them. Moreover thedigital images that will appear on thecomputer screen in the doctor’s officewill indeed tell the tale, hopefully notof woe. Yours truly hemming and haw-ing and being asymptomatic are allirrelevant once the radiologist hits sendand the images/results end up in myoncologist’s inbox. That’s when therubber will truly hit the road and I willlearn if my future is now or later.

So you bet it’s a test, and it’s nostinkin’ multiple guess/multiple choicetest either. It’s a test of character, ofwill; you against yourself. And thoughyou’d like the best man to win and foryou to be the best man, the reality is:cancer may be the man and you maynot be. As much as you try, there’s aninevitability to science and medicineand not always does the best man win.Death and taxes are inevitable, as theold joke goes – for a reason!

Unfortunately, in many patients,cancer kills; it’s not a feeling, it’s a fact.My job as a cancer patient is to resistand not succumb to its devastatingdevices. Every day is a test, physicallyand especially emotionally. One’seffects I can attempt to semi control,the other, not so much. As I cyclearound to my next scan, I amreminded of how challenging thiswhole cancer trip has been. Andthough I’ve been there and been doingit now for nearly four and one halfyears post-diagnosis, each scan pre-sents new risks. For cancer patientsthough, these scans are a necessity oflife. Unfortunately – and this is ourharsh reality, they may also be a pre-cursor of death. Try studying for that.

The Connection

The Fairfax County Park Author-ity presented a draft of the Mas-ter Plan revision for McLeanCentral Park Monday, June 8 at

the McLean Community Center. The 28-acrepark, located at the north corner of the in-tersection of Dolley Madison Boulevard andOld Dominion Drive, is located next to theDolley Madison Library and near theMcLean Community Center.

The park authority kicked off the masterplanning process last December, solicitingcomments from the public on what theywould like to see at the park. According topark staff, the main comments from thepublic addressed keeping the park’s generalcharacter intact, enhance its usability andsupport a sense of “campus” with the libraryand community center.

THE PUBLIC also expressed interest innew features in the park, such as an am-phitheater, which is part of the draft plan.

“The amphitheater would be able to hosta wide variety of community activites, andit would be shielded from street noise byberming and landscaping, which would alsoshield the adjacent properties from the noiseof park events,” said Gayle Hooper, theproject’s planner from the park authority.“We also have an opportunity to expand itsusefulness, by converting the amphitheaterto an ice skating rink in the winter, usingsynthetic ice, as well as a pop-up fountainto expand the use in the summer.

Hooper estimated the amphitheaterwould hold around 300 people, the maxi-

mum amount of people the park can cur-rently hold for its summer concerts.

The plan also mentions an additional en-trance to the Dolley Madison Library park-ing lot, at the intersection of Ingleside Av-enue and Elm Street, which would have acircular drop off area much closer to thepark’s center.

“This is the only opportunity we have toget another access point off [Ingleside Av-enue],” Hooper said. “It has a couple ben-efits, which include another clear entranceto the park, an entrance to the library andparking for the community center. Withunited signage plan, it would really give aunity to the plan, and highlight the facili-ties.”

Additional parking is also proposed forOak Ridge Avenue, which is between thelibrary and community center. The plan callsfor a traffic circle with parking spaces atthe end of the road, with a dedicated pri-vate road for the residences at the end ofOak Ridge Avenue.

Jack Wilbern of the Friends of McLeanCentral Park said he appreciated the parkauthority’s efforts and planning on behalfof the park, but has some lingering ques-tions about the plan.

“A lot of concern has always been ex-pressed about maintenance in the park,” hesaid. “Things like ice rinks and fountains,and anything like that we think needs to be

very much supported by the community, sothey will take a part in keeping it main-tained.”

Joyce Harris of the McLean Trees Foun-dation said she hopes preservation of treesis considered before any design is officiallyadded to the master plan.

“Every effort should be made to preservemature trees that define the natural aes-thetic of the site, and provide numerousenvironmental, health and economic ben-efits to our community,” she said. “Preser-vation of these trees should influence whereany new facilities are placed.”

Resident Sharon Williams said she wasagainst the major changes proposed, andquestioned the need for further facilities.

“I keep asking myself, why are thesechanges necessary? We’re happy with thepark. I’ve been in the neighborhood for over25 years, and I like the green space,” shesaid. “I’m not against a little tweaking hereor there, like better lighting along the path-ways, but, for example, they mentionedthere’s a demand for concert space. We havea gazebo. It works well. We have a theater,the Alden, it works well.”

PUBLIC COMMENT on the draft plan isopen until July 12. More information, in-cluding how to submit comments, can befound at www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/plandev/mclean-central.htm.

The Langley School Offers Basketball Camp Led by NBA Veteran

Keith Bogans

The Langley School is offeringKeith Bogans’ Langley SummerJam, a coed basketball camp

featuring NBA veteran Keith Bogans, forthe third consecutive summer on theschool’s campus in McLean. Theweeklong camp will run in two separatesessions—July 8-12 or July 22-26—forstudents entering grades three throughnine. The cost is $450 per week. To reg-ister, visit www.langleyschool.org or call703-356-1920, ext. 728.

Students will work on a variety of bas-ketball skills and drills led by Boganseach day, including dribbling, shootingand passing, while learning the funda-mentals of sportsmanship and team-work. The class will be broken into smallgroups by ability to ensure individual-ized attention from Bogans, Langleycoaches and staff.

Bogans is currently a forward-guardfor the NBA’s Brooklyn Nets. Since he wasfirst drafted to the NBA in 2003, Boganshas played for Orlando, Charlotte, Hous-ton, Milwaukee, San Antonio and Chi-cago, appearing in more than 580 games,including more than 300 starts. A 1995graduate of The Langley School whoplayed basketball under Athletic Direc-tor Jim Gleason, Bogans went on to be-come a McDonald’s and Parade All-American at DeMatha High School. Atthe University of Kentucky, he was

named SEC Player of the Year, First TeamAll-SEC, SEC Tournament MVP, andThird Team All-America during his dis-tinguished college basketball career.

“We are thrilled to welcome Keith backto Langley for the third summer,” saysCoach Gleason, who remembers Bogansas being an extremely competitive, hard-working athlete with a great sense ofhumor. “We are so proud of all that hehas achieved on the court and it has beenwonderful for him to share his expertisewith our students.”

“Langley did so much for me, and it’sfun to be able to give back in some way,”says Bogans. “Langley was a true bless-ing to me. When I arrived in seventhgrade, I struggled academically at firstbecause the academics were so far aheadof what I was used to. But wonderfulteachers worked with me and helped meturn the corner. I received an academicfoundation and built habits at Langleythat made school a lot easier for me fromthen on. Langley was a family—every-one knew and cared for each other.”

Founded in 1942, The Langley Schoolis an independent, coed day school forstudents in preschool through eighthgrade. Situated on a 9.2-acre campus inMcLean, the school reaches across mul-tiple disciplines to discover, amplify andembrace the talents of every child, ev-ery day.

Experiencing All-American Football CampLocal players gainexposure to collegecoaches during campand develop skills forfootball and life.

By Andrew Miner

The Connection

Hundreds of high school foot-ball players took the twofields at Flint Hill UpperSchool for the All-American

Football Camp. There were participants, ris-ing freshman, sophomores, juniors and se-niors, from all across the mid-Atlantic re-gion including Delaware, Ohio and theCarolinas. They came and stayed throughthe varying weather conditions of desertheats and gushing rains to put in the effortand get better.

Over four hours of grueling position work-outs, offensive and defensive drills, and one-on-one they commanded the respect of thenumerous collegiate coaches in attendance.There were even two representatives fromthe Washington Redskins who helped coachthe offensive and defensive lineman. Overthe past two years, over 100 athletes whohave attended the camp are playing NCAAfootball, including 48 who received Divi-sion I scholarships in 2012.

Among those who have received a foot-ball scholarship is Lake Braddock quarter-back Caleb Henderson. The 230 pound, 6-foot-4 North Carolina Tar Heel commitjoked about turf toe and always vocally cel-ebrated enthusiastically when anyone madea big catch down the sideline during theone-on-ones, no matter who threw it.

IT WAS UNCERTAIN whether or notHenderson would be able to attend thecamp; however, he said that it was becauseof coach Kavanaugh that he came. “Thiscamp is really fun, I’m glad I came out to-day,” said Henderson. “I was debatingwhether to come because I just came backfrom the Elite 11 in Ohio yesterday, but Ihaven’t see coach K in a while. He’s a greatguy and I like him a lot.”

Another player who did not escape theattention of Kavanaugh was Centerville’slinebacker Chad Wiggins who runs a 4.67forty, stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 230pounds and is a top linebacker in the North-ern Virginia region. Wiggins’ favorite partabout being a linebacker is, of course, get-ting to hit people. Wiggins also loves the“exposure of the camp … hanging withthese guys and … show[ing] off what you’vebeen working hard for.” The LinebackerMVP of the camp, Wiggins is consideringVirginia Tech, yet wants to enjoy his seniorseason at Centerville first, looking forwardto “winning a state championship nextyear.”

Before the camp ended and the skyopened up there was what the players tookas the greatest drill of them all: the trenches.Here defensive and offensive linemenbattled mano a mano in a simulation wherea tackling dummy is used as the quarter-back. The goal is to either protect or attack.DeMatha’s offensive lineman Devante Foxdominated this drill and the one time hewas beat, sparking impromptu trash talkfrom his opponent. Fox silently answeredwith a swirl of his finger and pummeled hisovermatched defender to the floor the nexttime around.

IN THE FINAL CAMP MEETING atmidfield, Kavanaugh introduced pastor andKansas University’s character coach RandyBeeman to the group. Beeman stressed theimportance for young athletes to have theirlives in order, to prioritize and become menof character. He focused on the usefulnessof a guide, citing the Bible as his, and thenasked for a volunteer and for examples oftraits that men of character have. The vol-unteer was Jacob Atkinson and with eachtrait, integrity, trustworthiness, honesty,respect, and hence forth, Beeman place abrick in Atkinson’s hand. The student fromEast Christian Academy in Delaware and thecamp MVP held each five-stacked bricksbefore it became unstable and they fell tothe turf. The moral was to provide a real-ization that even having these traits of char-acter was meaningless without a solid foun-dation. A foundation, both Beeman andKavanaugh hope, that can lead to successlong after football.

The cornerbacks practice their footwork during specific position instruction.
