We’re headed back to the Henlopen Conference North this week on the Baseline, where another program is making noise. This time, it’s Caesar Rodney, which has slipped into the top 10 after a 2-0 week that included a sweep of Dover on the road. The Riders are 5-2 entering this week, with both losses coming to top-5 teams in Smyrna …
Dover celebrates first win over Salesianum in 35 years
During the year 1988, MLB legend Cal Ripken Jr. played in his 1000th consecutive game, Microsoft sold its one-millionth mouse, and McDonald’s opened its ten-thousandth restaurant. That year the Dover Senators won the Division-1 state championship in overtime, 20-13 against Salesianum.

Cape topples undefeated Milford
There is one less undefeated field hockey team tonight. The Milford Bucs lost their first game of the season at Cape’s Champions Stadium on a rainy, windy night.

The Corner Scoop: Week 3 Field Hockey top 10
Week three brings the matchup we have all been waiting for, the top teams in the Henlopen North and Henlopen South as the undefeated Delmar Wildcats visit the undefeated Smyrna Eagles on Tuesday Sept. 26.

Milford Survives Delcastle 14-8
By Kevin Eickman “Wake up!” That was the constant chorus being shared from the Buccaneers coaches and staff who had made the trip up to Delcastle to watch this past Saturday’s football game. Yet for the entire first half of the contest, Milford refused to respond. Whether it was one of six first half turnovers or the multitude of mental …
Field Hockey now 5-0
By Kevin Eickman Milford field hockey coach Andrea McPike has her team off to a 5-0 start to begin the season. This past week the Buccaneers played two different games. The first would be a 4-0 victory over a 0-4 Dover team, the second would be a 4-3 win over Sussex Academy. At first glance, the home shutout against …
Appo wins a thriller over St. George’s
It was a great atmosphere Friday night in Middletown as a pair of 1-1 teams played in front of a large crowd under cloudy skies with double digit winds. Tropical storm Ophelia’s outer bands were closing in on the state, having an affect on the kicking game for both the Hawks and the Jags. The game was close from …
