Ja’Vaughn Burton celebrated Senior Day with 25 points, and four other Vikings reached double figures as the Cape Henlopen boys’ basketball team romped past Sussex Tech 93-62 Feb. 6 in Lewes.
“This is a new start for us,” said the senior wing, who also tallied game highs of six assists and five steals to help his team snap a four-game losing skid. “Our chemistry has gotten way better. Our plan has always been to push the ball and find the open man, and it definitely happened today.”

Tail over teakettle - Cape’s
Curtis Purnell (2018) returns a kickoff on a Friday night. He is head-over-heels happy, the way it’s supposed to be, but the trailing official is tail over teakettle. And if you’ve ever slipped while carrying a teakettle, don’t expect your afternoon guest sitting by the picture window in the parlor of your house not to laugh. Hats off – pun intended – to all officials who are out there running with the athletes, dodging balls and bodies. I really don’t know why more of them don’t get trucked or pull muscles. It is hazardous duty. I bail like a Boston Whaler when flow comes my way. A mask may be required, but a helmet is a better idea.
