Last year senior Dan Hicks walked away with the indisputable title of best singles player in the Cape Atlantic League, Dan achieved the incredible feat of not only going undefeated in CapeAUantic League match play, but also never allowit^ an opponent to win a single set

victory.

Dan is presently a freshman at the U S. Merchant Marine Academy in Kim» Point, N.Y. where he is pursuing his tennis on the. academy team. This season, Dan’s younger brother Orton, is a freshman at Middle Township High School. Orton is 15 and gained the

number one singles spot on the Panther team coached by John Williams. In seven matches this year, Orton is .undefeated and has yet to

lose a single set.

Ocean City coach Phil

Bimbaum calls him the •'best player in the Cape Atlantic League.” Coach Williams describes Orton as "a truly talented player who has all the shots. He needs tordevelop a harder serve and a greater

measure of

aggressiveness, but this will come with conUnued

play and practice.” • For the time being, it

looks as though Orton has inherited Dan’s throne and will reign supreme for the

forseeable future.
