It’s hard to believe we are entering the last week of regular season play already. What a season of field hockey it has been. Smyrna continues to dominate, remaining undefeated all season. Cape and Smyrna knocked off Delmar and D1 teams that have been a pleasant surprise are Milford and Odessa. I hope Odessa has enough strength of schedule to …
We’ve reached the final week of the regular season. The next edition of the Baseline will include a look at the state tournament bracket, but a lot will happen between now and then. The focus this week will be, for many teams, fine-tuning as the state tournament approaches. For others, however, whether they play past this week depends on how …
Before last night’s game the Dover Senators had not been able to beat the Smyrna Eagles since 2018 and for the first time in head coach Chipp Knapps Career. In 2018 Dover defeated Smyrna 46-38 in front of a homecoming crowd at Dover. In that game they were powered by Jordan McGee (Temple) and Javon Peace (Central Connecticut State) who …
Lewes – The rain moved out of the area allowing the Cape Henlopen homecoming parade to march into the stadium in front of a large raucous home crowd, it was a night fit for a king for the Vikings. Maurki James filled that role as he rushed for 216 yards scoring four touchdowns and was crowned homecoming king at halftime helping …
In a packed Champions stadium, two teams, both of whom are truly champions, took the field at 6 p.m. for the D1 vs D2 Game of the Week. These two teams have a friendly rivalry.

Last week was a crazy week for ranked teams as we saw a lot of rank teams lost. That made this week’s rankings the toughest all season. Division 2 saw all 10 spots change and there are many big matches on the schedule this week. Division 1 No. 1 Sallies (7-3-1) (LW No 1.) The Sals lost …
This week on the Baseline, we’re going to take a look at the various conference races and see where they stand. Remember, the conference champions get an automatic bid to the state tournament as long as they are in the top half of teams according to point index. So, theoretically, a team could finish with a record of 12-3 and …
This week is exciting for high school field hockey as they take to the fast astroturf at Rullo Stadium at the University of Delaware for the Turf Bowl. I don’t expect the top teams in either division to change much in the next two weeks of regular season play. But there are teams that still have six or seven games …
The Smyrna Eagles used a potent passing attack to secure their opening District 2 game of the season in a 54-20 victory at Caesar Rodney Saturday. Senior Jacob Tiberi and freshman Drew Marks combined for 347 yards and 2 touchdowns while Kahmaj Kearney rushed for 3 scores and 3 two-point conversions. The Eagles raced out to a 16-0 lead on …
Georgetown – The start of Class AAA District 2 began on Friday night as Sussex County rivals the Cape Henlopen Vikings and the Sussex Central Golden Knights kicked it off in Georgetown.
