Athletes of the Week Nov. 13

A voice from behind the fence at the Nov. 10 game between Cape and Smyrna said, "Good pass, 21." "I heard that,” Kailey said the next day on the practice field. "That was my dad; he's pretty fierce. I guess inside the game I take after him.” Kailey was an absolute dog in the 4-0 win over Smyrna, scoring the first two goals; the pressure finally released in the fourth quarter when Emily Wells converted a penalty stroke. “It’s really fun playing in a game like that against a good team like Smyrna," Kailey said. She had the go-ahead assist to Teagan Baker two years ago as Cape beat Smyrna in the state final 2-1. Cape’s closest game this season was a 2-1 overtime win at Smyrna; Kailey had the winning goal. Assistant coach Tracy Greisbaum said of Kailey two years ago, “Some players you just have to let run.” Good job, 21.

Fluorescent lighting failure caused elementary school fire in Milford

The Oct. 25 fire at Lulu M. Ross Elementary School in Milford was caused by the failure of fluorescent lighting inside a display case, the state fire marshal's office announced Nov. 12. The fire has been ruled accidental, Assistant State Fire Marshal Scott Bullock said. The fire happened on a Saturday, with the alarm going off around 4:15 a.m. It occurred in the school's Kent wing, damaging the lobby, library, front office and classrooms in the Kent and New Castle hallways, district officials said. The blaze took firefighters about three hours to get under control, according to district officials. No one was injured. Ross serves about 614 students in grades 2 through 4, according to the latest state data , and employs about 44, according to the school website. The school was built in 1957. Ross students were out of school for a week after the fire while the district determined they would move them to Milford Middle School. Sixth graders at the middle school were relocated to Milford Central Academy as a result. The fire also forced students at the neighboring Mispillion Elementary School out of school for a day due to shared phone and internet lines. Milford news:
