12 CAVALIER CORNER BY JEFF WHITE F or the UVA football team, the new year brings an opportunity to write a happier chapter in the annals of the program. The Cavaliers' 2022 season, Tony Elliott's first as their head coach, was marked by tragedy and ended prematurely. Virginia canceled its final two games after three players — wide receivers Devin Chandler and Lavel Davis Jr. and linebacker D'Sean Perry — were shot and killed on Nov. 13 upon returning to Grounds from a class field trip to Washington, D.C. Another player, fifth-year tailback Mike Hollins, was wounded in the shooting, as well as a second-year student, Marlee Morgan. In the days that followed, the UVA and Charlottesville communities pulled together in their grief and vowed that Chandler, Davis and Perry would not be forgotten.
