Alec Dukes

There are some Seahawks who figuratively fly and then there is this Sussex Academy senior who can also literally fly. Alec, who pilots planes taking off just a few football fields from where he played tennis, has already shown he has a bright future. As one of three seniors on Sussex Academy's boys' tennis team, he helped the team go undefeated, deliver Caesar Rodney its first loss in more than a decade and capture the Henlopen Conference title. Alec was mostly an exhibition player, but his pilot license isn't his only hidden talent, as the team's secret weapon did not lose a match when he was moved up to the starting lineup. His colorful personality was a big reason his class went from winless to lossless in his four years. For a fun scroll, and a break from doomscrolling, check out the team's Instagram page to see more of Alec and his teammates.

Madison Lubiniecki

This Cape senior catcher caught 120 innings during the 19 games played this season. Madison has battled injuries and concussions over the years, but was able to stay healthy and have a great senior year. Madison holds the schools single-season record of five caught stealing and seven pickoffs. Madison’s bat got hot right when the team needed her most. During the final game of the regular season, Madison had two timely doubles that helped propel the Vikings past Delmarva Christian and into the playoffs. Madison batted .714 in the post-season, but the Vikings didn’t quite have the comeback they would have liked in their last game against Conrad. It was Madison’s solo home run in the fifth inning that put the Vikings on the board and started a rally to keep their hopes alive. Madison is off to Neumann University in the fall to play for the softball team.

Lawson Whaley

A 6-foot-4 senior on the Cape volleyball team, this honors student help lead the Vikings to the DIAA finals against Sallies where he pounded 22 kills and bumped 25 digs. "Lawson really had an explosive week for us," said Cape coach Tyler Coupe. "His offensive growth is most obvious, but his defensive improvement is what helped propel our success. His serve-receive became so dependable it allowed our offense to shine through. His competitive spirit inspired his teammates and staff to never give up on anything." He led the team in kills this season with 212 and aces with 29. During the four-game playoff run, he tallied 58 kills and tallied 47 digs. Lawson will be attending Clemson University where he will study engineering. This summer, he can be found guarding with the Dewey Beach Patrol.
