SPRING ATHLETIC REPORT

22 CAPE HENRY SOUNDINGS

The Spring Cape Henry Athletic season brought success and positive accolades in many different avenues. As we patiently awaited warmer temperatures, Dolphin Teams trained and excelled on all of the athletic fields.Varsity boys lacrosse, varsity girls soccer, and JV boys lacrosse all were named TCIS Regular Season Champions. The JV Boys Lacrosse Team also won the TCIS Tournament. Coach Will Gibbs led his team to an 11-7 record, overall, and was undefeated in the regular season conference schedule. Captain Nik Melvin was named TCIS Player of the Year and anchored the offensive attack throughout the season. Defensively, Chase Phelps and Clay Tourault led the way. Underclassmen Brandon Faubert, Bryce Woodson, Dan Bain, and Brooks Bradley mark a strong returning class next spring. The JV Boys Lacrosse Team, under the direction of Coach Shep Jordan, finished the season at an impressive 12-1 record and made Dolphin history by going undefeated in the conference and winning the TCIS Championship. TJ Spera had a remarkable season in goal, as well as his defensive line, Preston Banta, Barrett Jacobson, and Matt Gibbs. Scoring came from multiple sticks including Carter Mavromatis, Michael Mosure, Michael Hodeen, Blake McAfee, Delaney Oksman, and Drew Mason.This team also spells out a bright future for things to come. Cape Henry alumnus Mark Kelley '98, headed up the coaching responsibilities for Middle School boys lacrosse. This team made strides of improvement from beginning with help from the play of Cory Mavromatis, Sam Law, and Justin Lee.The Middle School team completed their season with a record of 4-4. The Varsity Girls Lacrosse Team, 10-4 overall, completed a strong season, as well. Coach Jen Baker and Assistant Coach Brooke Baker directed a well conditioned team as viable competitors in every contest. Natalie Breit, Mary Flowers, Blake Burlage, and Devin Nash accumulated a great deal of scoring; and, Allison Bland, goalie, made it difficult for opponents to find the back of the net. The JV Girls Lacrosse Team, coached by Julie Levine, were led by scoring sensations Kelsey Scherrer, Kelly Zoretic, and Alyssa Bowen. Ally Brooks, Kaelyn Smith, and Laura Dail were the Lady Dolphins defensive specialists. The Varsity Boys Tennis Team had their best finish of recent years ending up in second place in the TCIS. Coach Miguel Rosa guided his team to a 9-3 finish with the help of top seeds Sameer Sandhu, Jackson Breit, and Aseem Sandhu. Chris Fletcher and Jackson Breit were formidable opponents in the Doubles Division. JV boys tennis had a respectable 5-4 season under the helm of Coach Kevin deJesus. Matt Stein, Fitz Shipp, Machiel Van Gool, Alex Spruiell, and Jeff Hamele developed the fundamental skills necessary to advance to the next level. The varsity girls softball season was a pleasure to witness.This team’s awareness of the game and ability to counter game situations improved immensely. The team enjoyed true leadership both on and off the field from Casey Scherrer and Shelby Evans. Stephanie Grune and Maddie Baine controlled things from the mound and from behind the plate. Kristen Meredith and Kaitlin Johnson stepped up to play beyond their youth. The season was capped off by a highly competitive game between the players and parents. Great job from Coach Cherlynn Fagerheim, and her assistants, Teresa Ambladt and Janice Baine. Speaking of youth, the JV Softball Team also provided glimpses of good things to come on the softball diamond. Rebecca Wheless, a true competitor on the mound, and Kathleen Dawson, defending at shortstop, led the Lady Dolphins. Coach Bob Sully was pleased with the entire team effort throughout the season. Another up and coming program is the Varsity Track & Field Team. Losing only one senior, Aria Branch, this young team offered a competitive effort at every meet. Charlie Celesia finished first in the 3200M of the TCIS Tournament, and Matt Szycher broke a Cape Henry school record in the 200M with a pace

integrity of 23:09. Carina Tate, Lauren Papineau, and Kelli Morrissey all made strong showings in the Girls Divisions. Coach Sharif Rudolph and Assistant Sherry Celesia are pleased and excited about the future of our Dolphin Track Program. Coach Phil Stewart’s Varsity Coed Golf Team were runner-ups in the conference after completing a remarkable 13-1 season. Behind the strong, steady play of Scott Saal, Brandon Flynn, Brent Landen, Ben Almond, and Brielle Paolini, the Varsity Golf Team fell only seven strokes short of the title. The JV Golf Team, coached by Alice Meredith, finished in the middle of the conference with a respectable 5-5 record. Kent Ryu and Jonathan MacConkey led their team with consistent play. The Varsity Baseball Team proved they can play with any of the areas ranked opponents after taking Greenbrier Christian Academy, ranked number one in the area, to 12 innings in the semifinals of the TCIS Tournament. The Dolphins came up short in that game, but had nothing to be ashamed of throughout postseason play. Senior Captain Skylar Bates, First Team All-TCIS selection, truly directed his team from behind the plate at the catcher position. Sophomore Robert Morey also receiving First Team All-TCIS honors and had an impressive season from both the mound and the plate. Returners Pat Chicoine, Joe Farmartino, Parker Talbert, Jonathan Whited, and Pete Levitt make Cape Henry a preseason favorite for the 2005-2006 season. Wes Neubeck ‘00 coached the JV Squad, primarily made up of Middle School athletes, working on the fundamentals and making improvements throughout the season. Blake Whited and Tyler Faubert, also receiving varsity minutes, in addition to Max Wagner and Jimmy Bertolino will prove to make a difference on the baseball diamond in the years to come. Coach Rebecca Nelson led her Varsity Crew Team to another fine season for Cape Henry. Kaylin Carter, Amber Templeton, Rose Nevill, and Elizabeth Berke made up the Women’s Varsity Four.The mixed team consisted of Andrew Riddle, Lars Vonli, Rose Nevill, Taylor Stone, and Jake Jones. Preseason conditioning paid off for this team finishing strong in regattas all season. The Varsity Girls Soccer Team satisfied onlookers by going undefeated in the regular season of conference play. Coach Max Moore will definitely miss the leadership of seniors Valerie Mills, Missy Redmond, Carli Warden, and Amanda Scott. Genna Brand and Nicole Moore provided skilled highlights all season long, assisted by Lindsey Weathersby and Liza Goldman. Defensive specialists, Anne Birkhead, Kelsey Pick, and Kelly Timms made it difficult to penetrate to the back of the net. Another great soccer season for the Lady Dolphins! The JV Soccer Team, coached by soccer guru David Brun, came out ready to play every match. Players like Meggie Chicoine, Maddie Houck, Andrea Paphites, Katie Heilig, Carly Oksman, Amalia Riess, and Kirby Talbert are a sure sign that Lady Dolphins Soccer will be competitive for years to come. The Cape Henry athletic teams had an impressive spring season. Now it is not only time to say farewell to a group of seniors who have had a significant impact on all of our programs, but also, to look to the future with the younger developmental teams. Memories on which to both reflect and grow!
