76 - CAPE GAZETTE, Friday, Jan. 19 - Jan. 25, 2001 Larry Miller slips by a Laurel defender in action last Tues- day night. Basketball Continued from page 75 "This was a big win for us tonight," coach Jerry Peden said with a straight face. "Our kids have really been playing well. Those two loses to powerful teams from New Jersey in the Slam Dunk hurt us, but we're making our way back." The Vikings led 34-20 at half- time, although Laurel showed spurts of playing well. The sec- ond half was just Cape pulling away on a slow drive to victory. "Last year our top eight players were seniors and we went 14-9," said Laurel coach B.J. Joseph, now in his fourth season. "We don't start a single senior, but Cape Region Athletes Of The Week BRANDON WELLING The transfer senior Cape grappler in the 119- pound weight class has been com- ing on strong in the middle of the season. Brandon won a 14-2 major decision last Wednesday at Laurel, his third impressive victory in a row. "Brandon is a tough kid who works real hard in practice," said coach Chris Mattioni. "He has an attack style which is what we're looking for." Welling is 10-9 on the season and 4-2 in con- ference competition. ANDRE DUNNING One might be tempted to call Andre "The Giant"; this brawny 6-foot-3 post player may be a "space eater" but he has soft hands, great touch and natural instincts to be in the right spot. And he will never back down! Cape has won three in a row since Andre has been insert- ed into the starting lineup. Along with Thaddeus Shock- ley, Dewayne Hollomon and Pat Jackson, Cape has be- come a first class rebound- ing team. Antonio Alfred drives to the basket for two points in Cape's impressive win over the Bulldogs. that's only part of the problem. We just don't have the fire that I'm looking for. It's been very disap- pointing." Andre Dunning put together a solid effort for Cape under the basket scoring 15 points. Matt Duffield came off the bench to contribute 12. Cape was on the road Thursday, Jan. 18, at Indian River before re- turning home to host once-beaten Sussex Central this Saturday, Jan. 20. "It's time to test how far we've actually come," said Woods. "I'm looking forward to the challenge. I think the whole team wants to prove we can play with the better teams in the conference." The loss dropped Laurel to 3-9 on the season. JACK McPIKE During December's Delaware State Swimming Championships, this eight- year-old won the 25, 50, 100 and 200-meter freestyle events along with the 100 and 200-meter individual medley races. Wait, that's not all! He also captured the 25 and 50-meter breast- stroke events on his way to the High Point Award for 8 and under boys (Guess so!). Jack swims for the Sussex Family YMCA Seagulls and set team records in 10 of 11 events he competed in. ELIZABETH PURNELL Daddy was a Rehoboth Beach lifeguard and morn is one of the Yeager girls from the Cape State Park beach, so you know this freshman had to grow up and become a swimmer. Elizabeth is not only strong and talented, but has mastered the sport's toughest strokes. Last week against Lake Forest 'qLizzy" won both the 100-meter but- terfly and 100-meter back- stroke. People Continued from page 75 attended as a member of the Ti- tans extended family. Four days of food and lodging and $500 of spending money along with un- limited access to team functions is the only way to do this game. To my knowledge, each player gets 12 tickets and may bunk all 12 at the family-designated NFL hotel. How many distant relatives of the Luke Petitigout family have they heard from this week? And what about former Sussex Central High School football coach Howie Reed? You know Howie's going to Tampa if he has to fly the plane himself! SNIPPETS - The 100 or more loyal basketball fans from Slaugh- ter Neck have disappeared from the radar screen. Some coaches have all the luck! What does that tell you? It tells me that most of these entertaining fans were Slaughter fans first and Cape fans second. Thaddeus Shockley is "Real Neck," according to junior varsity player DameU Parker, but Thaddeus can't put butts in the seats the way someone named Hazzard can. Preseason college lacrosse has started two-a-day practices. Ma- lik Lopez, Scott Steele and Matt Hall are all in camp with the Divi- sion I UMBC Retrievers. UMBC opens the season in late February at the Naval LOPEZ Academy. The true fans all wear shorts to the February games. The Wesley Wolverines have former Cape players Josh Wyatt, Billy Brennan, Der- rick Quillen and Greg Plummer. Plummer has come from nowhere to be the team's third rated long pole. Logan Short PLUMlVIER has been switched from attack to midfield and won the team bench press competition for repping his own weight. Vir- ginia Wesleyan has Jack Lingo, Billy Lingo, Rich Welsh and Corey Ma- honey on the roster. David Steele and Jim- my Carpenter B. LINGO are playing club ball at ECU when they're not surfing. And when they're not do- ing either of those things they concentrate on school. Wait! Move girls into the third position. Geoff Shupard is at Division II Limestone. Go Ravens! Go on now, git!
