CAPE G, Friday, April 14 - April 20, 2000 - 89
Viking golf team drives to new state ranking
Cape Henlopen High School's
golf team continued its drive to-
ward an excellent season last
week. The team's match record
now stands at 5-0.
The team's success has not gone
unnoticed. This week the Vikings
are ranked second in the state, be-
hind perennial powerhouse Dover.
If the last three matches are any
indication, Cape should give the
Senators a strong challenge when
they first meet May 2.
Cape hosted Lake Forest April
6, at Rehoboth Country Club and
beat the young Spartans easily,
159-230.
Tyler Witman led all players
with a 35, including an eagle on
the par 5 ninth hole. "I had about
170 to the hole after my drive,"
the freshman told his teammates.
His second shot came in tight, and
Witman calmly rolled in a 6-foot
putt for his 3.
Co-captain Josh Marr shot a
handy 38, while his co-captain
brother, Beau, finished with a 44.
LJ. Oakley scored a somewhat
erratic 42. "I had a double bogey,
a triple bogey, and a birdie," he
said.
The Vikings then played Laurel
on April 7, at Seaford Country
Club and blew past the Bulldogs,
157-198.
Witman shot par for the course
with his 36. Mark Johnson shot a
39 and Josh Marr carded a 40.
Oakley's 42 completed the scor-
ing for Cape.
The team traveled to Shawnee
Country Club April 11, to face
Milford High School, their first
serious competition. The Vikings
won their closest match thus far,
152-157.
GOLF
The Buccaneers finished fourth
in last year's state tournament.
Milford coach John Bayalis said
they only lost two starters from
that squad. This week's state
rankings put the Buccaneers in
sixth place, and the five-shot vic-
tory margin proved it.
"We needed everything we
could get today," said a relieved
co-head coach Jerry Domeman.
Witman shot a 33 on the front
nine. He birdied the first, second,
fifth and sixth holes, and bogeyed
the difficult fourth hole.
Oakley was pleased with his
one-over-par 37. Josh Marr and
Johnson completed the Viking
scoring with two 41s.
Milford played nearly as well.
Jon Webb shot a 37 and Matt
Smith scored a 38. Jon Jones and
Jason Atkins played the front nine
in 41 each.
GETTING IN SHAPE
Spring is here, despite the Sun-
day, April 9 flurries. That means
it's time to get back in shape after
Henlopen Soccer Club wants to
form two new intramural groups
The Henlopen Soccer Club is seeking to form two new intramural
age groups - U-12 (10-11 year olds) and U-14 (12-13 year olds).
"The club has experienced exponential growth over the last year-
and-a-half. What is happening is that a handful of our younger
players from a few years ago have moved up into the next age
group. We are also getting interest from some older kids who wish
to get in on the fun," said Allen Luzak, club president. "With that in
mind, the Henlopen Soccer Club is forming two new age brackets
to accommodate the aging of the club."
"It's wonderful to see the interest grow," said Mike Price, club
commissioner. "My goal is to afford every child who wishes to
play soccer the opportunity to play, no matter what their age or skill
level is."
The addition of the new age brackets allows the club to Continue
its growth and to keep a constant feeder system for the middle and
high school levels. Some players would just like to have a recre-
ational program available without the pressures of a more competi-
tive level of play as well.
The Henlopen Soccer Club needs only 40 players in each bracket.
According to Price, the club is seeking boys and girls for each age
bracket. "At these ages, the physical differences are too strong to
have co-ed teams," he noted.
The new age brackets will begin play Saturday, April 29, and end
Saturday, June 17. Anyone wishing to register should call 645-
9377 or e-mail <henlopensoccerclub@yahoo.com> with the name,
address and phone number and a registration form will be sent. The
fee is $20 for the first player in the family with a $5 discount for
each additional member.
a hard winter of watching The
Golf Channel.
Several books are available to
guide golfers to better condition-'
ing. Paul Frediani's "Golf Flex"
(Hatherleigh Press paperback;
$9.95 SRP) is among the newest,
and it's a good one.
Frediani is a certified fitness
trainer and educator. He explains
how the golf swing uses all the
major muscle groups and several
small muscle groups as well. Bet-
ter flexibility increases the body's
range of motion. The wider the
range of mo-
tion, the more
likely that the
golf swing will
produce good
results. It's
that simple.
• The book
details more
than two dozen
basic stretches. The description
for each exercise explains how to
do the routine, the muscles used,
how it benefits golfing and adds a
short tip for maximizing the gain
from each drill.
Another good section is a series
of injury prevention exercises to
help ward off problems for week-
end golfers.
Frediani's best contribution is
that he writes easily understood

descriptions showing how this
training helps with specific golf
muscle needs. The photographs
and drawings are also very well
done.
"Golf Flex" is an inexpensive
way to improve one's golf game.
For the price of a sleeve of golf
balls, players will improve their
games and the way they feel be-
fore, during and after a round. Not
a bad bargain.
