86 - CAPE GAZETTE, Friday, April 14 - April 20, 2000 Laxmen Continued from page 85 heels. "It feels good to make such a big contribution," Moore said af- ter the game. "I never realized the importance of faceoffs or that the fans even paid attention to them." Kyle Archer and Steve "Stiff" Conlon scored to close out the quarter as Cape led 4-0. "You never know if you can keep it going," said head coach Mark D'Ambrogi, "but this is a great rivalry for the kids and lets them see how they measure up against Delaware's top teams." Geoff Shuppard and Eddie Savarese scored in the front half of the second quarter giving Cape a 6-0 lead with the goals from a half dozen different players. "I can't believe how fast Cape was," Coveleski said. "They were running around us all night!" Conlon dodged a man for a score fol- lowed by a great pass and shot off the stick of Zac Palmer; then Joey Cahill closed out the first half as- COVELESKI sault with a goal in the final minute making the halftime score 9-0. Caesar Rodney goalie Rich Za- jak stopped his share of first half Ca00e Region ALhletes Of The Week HAO GUAN Smart enough to under- stand the physics of throw- ing and coordinated enough to carry out the task, this ju- nior on the track team is rapidly improving in the shot put and discus. Last Saturday, April 8, at the Kei- th Burgess Invitational Guan placed fifth in the shot put with a toss of 43-4, and fourth in the discus at 129-7. Guan's goal is to be among the state's three best. "I've ben Jmprovlng every meet," he said modestly. Cape lacrosse coack Mark D'Ambrogi reviews the Vikings's performance during a post- game talk April 11, after Cape topped arch rival Caesar Rodney 16-2. shots or the score would have been worse. After a Welsh goal to open the third quarter, Rider Dan Phelps solved the Keller mystery with a goal and the Riders scored again, quickly cutting the margin to 10-2 and waking up the visiting bleachers. Welsh scored again followed by some highlight film material from Cahill, who scored three goals in the final minutes of the period to give Cape an insurmountable 14-2 lead entering the fourth-quarter- war-chant phase of the program. Steve Welsh and Joey Cahill scored in the final stanza to make the score 16-2. Outstanding defensive games were turned in by Matt Lambrose and long stick middle Brian Bonk, along with Alex Hense and Corey Mahoney. Sophomore Rich Ben- son saw prime time action at at- tack in the second period. "We ran eight midfielders the entire game and they all played well," D'Ambrogi said. The team chanted "Jeans! Jeans!" when the game was over. Chalk up one big win for a young man and his beloved grandfather. OTHER ACTION - Last Sat- urday afternoon, April 8, the lacroose team traveled north to take on Sanford Prep. Cape won easily 19-5. Multiple goals were scored by Joey Cahill with 6, Steve Conlon with 2 and Steve Welsh with 3. Kyle Archer, Mark Moore, Ed- die Savarese, Joey Vavala, Rich Benson and Corey Mahoney also found the net. COREY MAHONEY The Cape attack was ave- some against Caesar Rodney as Joey Cahill, Steve Welsh and Steve Conlon accounted for 12 goals. Mahoney on de- fense was just out of his Irish mind scooping up ground balls and running the field. "We played great and Mahoney was just spec- tacular," coach Mark D'Am- brogi said. "Quite often de- fensemen get lost in a game like this where there is so much scoring." Mahoney is heading to Virginia Wes- leyan in the fall. CHRIS KELLER The senior goalie entered the season as a big question mark, but the riddle has been solved. The man team- mates call "Jeans" can ele- vate his game to the level of the competition. Jeans had several outstanding saves and clears during the April 11, 16-2 thrashers-frying of the Caesar Rodney lacrosse team. "It feels great to final- ly get to play and to see everybody in front of me play so awesome, " Keller said. SCOTT SHOCKLEY Milton Middle School coach Jeff Burnham can't say enough about pitcher/first baseman Scott Shockley. 'rile had 14 strike- outs in our recent victory over Delmar," Burhnam said. 'We have some kids here at Milton who can help that high school program. Shockley also had two hits against Delmar and plays first base when he's not pitching. "Give that boy a free tub of Milton scapple, Coach." People Continued from page 85 ball officials at their end-of-the- year banquet. I like the officials group, but it is scary facing a group of professionals that had been berated and abused by fans and unappreciated by coaches for the previous four months. Several pitchers of beer decorated table tops, which I found intimidating because I don't drink, at least for the remanding days of Lent. I opened with this joke: A man completes his physical at a doc- tor's office in Lewes and the doc- tor calls the man in with an alarm- ing tone to his voice. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but you only have 24 minutes to live." "Twenty four minutes?" the man asks. "What am I supposed to do?" "Well, if it was me, I'd go watch a JV gifts basketball game," the doctor said. "Go watch a JV girls basketball game? What good will that do?" The doctor smiles. "It will be the longest 24 minutes of your life!" The place rocked! I was a hit! I started planning my exit. "Always leave them laughing," my grandmother used to say. But it was prom night. What did she mean by that? SNIPPETS - Lauren Cooper and Erin Williams scored in the first half as the Cape soccer team hung with heavily favored Caesar Rodney 2-2 behind the hot goal- tending of Amber Smith, who recorded 12 saves for the game. But the Riders scored three unan- swered goals in the second half to salt away the victory. Some play- ers, citing realism, suggested to me the day of the game that they would be killed that night by the Riders. "Just look at the scores plus they are ranked and we're not." Three white guys who would rather de-grub a golf course with a spinner spreader than watch a girls soccer game sit in an office and shrug. "I have no idea, but I hear this team is ranked pretty good," I said. "The only ranking that counts is the score after the game!" The girls considered my state- ment then went back to realism. "We're still going to get beat!" And beat they got but they didn't get kilt! Write your own moral! Go on now, git!
