SPORTS; 8Z:
OUTDOORS
Viking boys roll past Laurel Bulldogs 80-49
Cape's Andre Dunning muscles up a shot between two Lau-
rel defenders last Tuesday night.
Victory is third
straight for Cape
By Dave Frederick
There was a moment deep in
the fourth quarter last Tuesday
night with Cape ahead 70-38
when all five Cape players were
behind Laurel on the fast break.
The question for philosophers:
"who got_ the rebound and threw
the outlet pass?"
Patrick Woods took the ball to
the basket and bounced it high off
the glass as Dewayne Hollomon
came in for the follow up dunk.
Dewayne hung on the rim with
both hands and the ball careened
to the corner. It was ugly in a
"pick up game" sort of way.
"It's hard to look good when
most of the game was ragged,"
said Woods who scored a game
high 18 points to lead the Vikings
to an 80-49 victory. "But when
you get up by 30 it just kinda
throws everything else off."
Cape has now won three games
in a row to even its record at 5-5
on the season.

BIG MEN DON'T CRY -
Somewhere between a Gold's
Gym workout and a Cape home
basketball game, I found myself
on top of the Nassau Bridge hold-
ing a warm and bloodied yellow
lab (see page 1 story). The dog
was young and strong with a red
collar and it was most certainly
dead. I did not hit this animal! I
was alerted to trouble by flashing
lights and the sight of two chil-
dren standing on top of the bridge
in the dark behind a shivering
black puppy. I heard a young boy
and his sister looking and sound-
ing straight out of a Mark Twain
short story, the girl crying and
telling a tale of witnessing a red
car with one headlight whose oc-
cupants threw the dogs out into
traffic on top of the bridge. The
puppy was shivering and petri-
fied, but still willing to place its
fate in the arms of strangers be-
cause it knew no other way. I lift-
ed the yellow dog over the
guardrail and onto the grass. My
sneaker tops, hands and shirt were
covered in blood. I cried into the
black night, gazing out towards
the great marsh knowing the
ducks this lab would never chase,
We S00L,E)uld all be crying!
PEOPLE IN SPORTS
Dave Frederick
the fields it would not romp in and
the children who would not bear
hug him around the neck under
the tree on Christmas morning.
This dog loved and trusted us and
was thrown to his death on a dark
night under a full moon. We
should all be crying!
MEN AND DOGS - I could tell
you the names of several avid lo-
cal and weather-hardened out-
doorsmen who took time off from
work when their companions in
hunting and pickup truck driving
and coffee drinking passed on ei-
ther to old age or accidental mis-
fortune. Some wait years before
getting another dog because per-
sonalities and loyalties are not re-
placeable. The lab rules in this
area whether we're talking yel-
low, black, chocolate or golden.
On a few occasions I've been re-
layed messages, "Tell Fredman to
keep his old dogs from running
deer during the season before
some hunter shoots their white
headed arthritic butts." But no re-
al man dressed in camo sitting in a
tree stand with a loaded shotgun
would ever shoot a dog. It's just
so against the rules - a veritable
crime against nature.
ENOUGH ALREADY - You
don't want any more stories with a
dog as the tragic character. I
could write a book that would
have you crying through every
chapter. Do you know why dogs
aren't killed to advance the plot of
action and disaster films? Be-
caus;e people won't stand for it!
Throw one flaming cocker spaniel
out of the 87th floor window of a
towering inferno and people will
get tap and exit the movie theater.
That is just so wrong! Nobody
needs to see that! Throw out all
the people you want! Who cares?
THE FRED FITNESS FILE -
I have achieved exit velocity and
left earth's orbit well into my sec-
ond week of a 12-week Body for
Life Revolution. You may have
noticed that I have not published
any numbers or offered any before
pictures. Do you really think I am
that stupid? My workouts at
Gold's, under the supervision of
Dave Kergaard, have gorged my
muscle groups way beyond my
personally customized Wawa
hazelnut 20-ounce workout. The
only crunches I ever did had Nes-
des written on the wrapper. To me
a super set meant one refrigerated
Entemann's chocolate doughnut, a
22-ounce full-bodied Heineken
and a bowl of mayonnaised-based
potato salad. That's right the en-
tire bowl!
THE RAVENS NFL DIET -
Last year before the Ravens were
popular, I started my own NFL di-
et. The diet is for inflated former
football athletes who can no
longer return punts or, in some
cases, even block for the quarter-
back on a pop pass. Basically, I
highlighted every player on the
Ravens who weighed more than
me. Everybody on the offensive
and defensive line is out of my
league. The Ravens have 12 guys
on the roster over 300 pounds.
Amazingly, most of these guys lie
about their weight. Take Sam
Adams who is built like a sub-
compact Winnebago. Adams is
listed at 6-foot-3, 330 pounds, but
he is at least 370. There are three
more guys listed at 270 or better.
I can't hang with them either. And
seven guys are under 200 pounds,
which takes me back to seventh
grade. My ultimate goal is to look
like Jamal Lewis (231) and run
the 40 in 4.5. Right now I hang-
ing at outside linebacker with Pe-
ter Boulware!
TICKETS ANYONE - Any
fortunate person having Super
Bowl tickets who would like to
take their very own Gonzo sports
journalist to Tampa to record the
once-in-a-lifetime experience,
please contact Fredman via email
at the Cape Gazette. Last year I
