Cape Cod Athletic Club
celebrates pearl anniversary

RUNNING AWAY
WITH THE WIN
- The Raiders
make their way
toward the finish
line during
Tuesday's tri-meet
against Durfee
and Taunton.
Barnstable
defeated both
teams 17-46 and
25-30 respectively.
In
the New England running world, there
is perhaps no name more familiar than
Johnny Kelley. In the Cape Cod running
world,perhaps the most popular organization
for runners is the Cape Cod Athletic Club,
started in 1976 by Kelley, who was a resident
of Dennis, and Nauset Middle School teacher
Larry Hansen.
Tomorrow evening the Cape Cod Athletic
Club (CCAC) celebrates its 30th anniversary
with a reception at the Hyannis Golf Club.
"It originally started just to promote running
on Cape Cod," said club member Brian Kelly,
noting that part of the motivation involved
members being able to run in a race from
Plymouth Rock to Provincetown. "You had to
belong to a certified club to participate. That
was the impetus. "
Today the club includes not just runners, but
cyclists, swimmers and tri-athletes. It sponsors
or manages charitable Cape races including the
famed Johnny Kelley Road Race in Hyannis.
"There isn't a race that the club doesn't put on
that isn't charitable," said Kelly.
While the organization focuses on running-
centered events, it was felt that the 30th was
worthy of celebration for all involved with the
club. Invites for the fete were sent to the more
than 250 members, as well as those who were
members in years past. "It's quite a mix of the
Cape," said Kelly. "We've got business people,
doctors, electricians,plumbers. It's a very
i integrated club."
It's also a very popular club. "It provides
camaraderie," said Kelly, who added that
members even have subgroups in several Cape
locales,including Hyannis.
Because running is an all-season sport some
of the most well liked CCAC events occur
in the winter. "During the winter, we have a
winter series [of races]," said Kelly. "That's
probably the highlight for everybody."
Aside from the fellowship of the club, Kelly
also appreciates its steadfastness. "People
come and go, but the club is actually stronger
, today than ten years ago," he said. "I am look-
ing forward to the 50th
."
The Cape Cod Athletic Club anniversary reception will be held
from 4 to 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Hyannis Golf Club. All former
and current members are welcome to attend. For more informa-

While Wilson was sidelinedfor several series, he
rejoined the game in the final minutes.
TAKING A KNEE - Jake Fulham (75) and Todd
Lomax (46) take a knee while waiting for a play
during Friday night's homecoming game against
New Bedford.
After Barnstable scored their first
touchdown against New Bedford on
Friday night, the fans slowly making
their way into the bleachers started paying
attention. When BHS brought the score to
13-0, they were riveted.
Unfortunately, with key players Drew
Sifflard and Alex Glenn sidelined within-
juries, the Raiders couldn't hold up against
the formidable Whalers, who harpooned a
21-19 victory in overtime.
In spite of the defeat, Barnstable turned
in a most impressive effort on the gridiron,
not once backing down from the fight.
While the first quarter saw plenty of
back and forth action, the game remained
scoreless. Offensively,the Raiders' Jordan
Looby and Donny Campbell were in top
form. Looby turned in a neat seven-yard
fake punt run while Campbell had two nice
receptions.
The game's second quarter was all about
Barnstable. With 6:12 left on the clock the
Raiders took a 7-0 lead when Dean Tillman
landed a one-yard plunge for the touch-
down, followed by a smooth extra-point
kick by Pavalus Mitchell.
The Raiders scored again on their next
possession on a stellar 26-yard diving
touchdown reception to Campbellfrom
Ryan Tremblett.An 11-yard reception by
Zach Wilson and a 15-yard run by Dean
Tillman brought in the score.
Prior to the end of the first half, Wilson
was sidelined with an injury after com-
pleting a 33-yard run on the Raiders' first
possession of the half.
When Wilson was unable to return to the
game for several series, the wind seemed
to come right out of the Raiders' sails.
Seizing their chance, the Whalers made
their way to the BHS 18 but were thwarted
when Pat Fulhamtipped a pass on the
fourth down.
The Raiders again stopped New Bedford
in the fourth with a half-yard at the BHS 25
with 6:47 left on the clock, only to have the
Whalers recover a fumble moments later.
The face of the game changed drasti-
cally when New Bedford brought the score
to 13-7 on a 25-yard reception with 6:41
remaining.
Then, with a mere 25 seconds left,the
Whalers shot past the Raiders to score
again, bringing the score to an even 13-13.
When the extra point kick veered left, the
game was sent into an electric overtime.
After opting to defend rather than
receive, Barnstable tried but was unable
to prevent New Bedford from crossing the
key line, bringing the score to 19-13. Sec-
onds later, the Whalers' two-point conver-
sion notched it to 21-13.
The Raiders gave it their all when their
turn came, with Tillman running in a
10-yard touchdown much to the glee of
anxious fans, but with the score teeter-
ing at 21-19, the Whalers defense put the
kibosh on BHS's conversion rush, ending
the game and claiming victory.
Next up for Barnstable is a trip to Dart-
mouth tomorrow for a 3:30 p.m. game.

teams from Barnstable, Durfee and Taunton head

BHS defeated Durfee but fell to Taunton.
Watching Jill Lyon run is a bit
like watching Tiger Woods play
golf. Even though you expect
her to cross the finish line first,
it'sstillmightyimpressive when
she does.
Lyon was in first place once
again on Tuesday when the
Barnstable girls cross-country
team competed in a dual meet
against Taunton and Durfee at
Hathaway 's Pond,defeating
both by 25-30 and 17-46 respec-
tively.
From the start, Lyon looked
calm and self-assured in spite
of a sudden drop in the late
afternoon temperature.
Maintainingher cool composure
throughout the 2.9-mile run,
Lyon turned in a neat run of
19:06.
Teammate Chelsea LeRoux
also had a stellar afternoon as
she crossed the finish linein sec-
ond place at 20:29,with Hannah
Cavanaugh close behind her in
third at 20:32 helping to clinch
the wins for Barnstable.
While Taunton and Durfee
filled in the middle, Barnstable
rounded out the top ten with
