The Cape Henlopen boys’ basketball team played its best ball of the season Feb. 15, outgunning and outhustling a 7-2 Dover squad that had recently upended Henlopen North contender Caesar Rodney. For 30 minutes of action, the Vikings looked like the better team, knocking down open three-pointers, forcing turnovers, attacking in transition and battling the taller Senators on the boards.
They came up two minutes short.
Dover finished the game on a 9-3 run to spoil Cape’s upset bid and take a 68-65 win back up Route 1.

Undeclared majors - While checking the University of Maryland football roster I noticed that the most popular major is “Undeclared,” which translates to: “I don’t know what I want to be once this gig is over.” The University of Delaware football roster lists nine criminal justice majors, along with six players majoring in sports management. The game is simple: travel light, don t pick up any excess baggage and keep going to school. That s how you separate from the pack or peloton that is chasing you down. Staggering stats: 36 percent of the U.S. population have a bachelor s degree, while only 13 percent have a master’s degree. The question raised is: Why not keep going? The answer most frequently given is: “Because I’m sick of going to school.”

Senior guard Brycen Williams scored 21 points and netted four three-pointers to pace Caesar Rodney to an 82-62 drubbing of Cape Henlopen in boys’ basketball action Feb. 12 in Camden.
Sophomore guard Malachi Brinkley added 16 points and knocked down four shots from beyond the arc for the Riders, who raced to a 15-0 first-quarter lead that they would never relinquish.
Cape came out colder than the icy weather outside, missing its first nine shots from the floor and committing five turnovers before it finally converted a field goal six minutes into the opening period. CR senior big man Jaelin Joyner dunked three times in the frame, helping his team grab a 24-7 advantage after one quarter.
