A record for Takeem, a trophy for Lauren and a title for Central Virginia
The celebration on the field was priceless. Monticello’s players danced around - as usual. The fans in the stands at Liberty’s Williams Stadium rejoiced with thunderous cheers. Central Virginia, you have a VHSL football title to cherish once again. Monticello won the Group AA, Division 3 crown today, knocking off Richlands 36-22. ... In the process, Monticello tailback Takeem Hedgeman set the VHSL record for touchdowns in a season by finding the end zone three times to push his total to 51. After the game, Lauren Bicknell, the daughter of MHS coach Brud Bicknell, was all smiles as she sat in a wheelchair on the field with a game ball resting in her lap. Bicknell, 17, was injured in a car wreck just eight days ago. ... For now, it’s time to crank out a notebook on the game, but check Sunday’s edition of The Daily Progress for complete coverage from the contest.
