Cape trio sails one last time together for Blue-Gold game

The Cape girls’ basketball team sent Havyn Greene, Hayden Hudson and Faith Re to the 2025 Delaware Interscholastic Basketball Coach’s Association Blue-Gold All-Star Game in Smryna March 22.

The girls were joined on the Gold team by Delmarva Christian’s Layni Dukes to give the Cape Region four representatives in the game. Some of the girls also got a chance to run with their travel ball teammate, Indian River’s Mya Whittington. Although Gold lost 107-76, the experience was a positive one to end their high school careers.

“It was an exciting game – a long game – but exciting,” Re said. “It was fun just being able to run with people that I don't typically get to play against during a normal season.”

Re is slated to continue her playing career at Salisbury University in the fall.

Hudson scored the first points for the Gold team in the game before taking part in the hot shot contest during one of the breaks.

“It was fun to just try it out for one last time,” Hudson said.

Before Hudson competed in her competition, Greene repped the Gold team in the three-point competition. Although she couldn’t bring home the trophy, she certainly delighted the crowd with an impressive warmup. She thinks she rushed things a bit too much.

“Warming up, I felt great, but then just when that timer went off, it got to me in my head,” Greene said. “We only had three spots, so it's different compared to five spots with a minute; I just thought that was great, and to show my shooting ability as a big is really awesome.”

Greene took full advantage of her opportunity to showcase her skills and how she might fare at the next level.

“You have people who are going to the next level to play college basketball and playing against them was very fun and challenging,” Greene said.

Dukes drained a couple of threes for the Gold team and was asked to quarterback the offense quite a bit. She got a boost with her coach Frank Roach on the bench.

“It was fun to play with some girls that I haven't got a chance to play with whether on my team or against me,” Dukes said. “Overall, it definitely made me a better player to be around them, have some good competition and to represent my school.”

While Re and Dukes connected from deep, their teammate Mya Whittington did as well, but stepped back a few feet on her attempts.

“That’s normally where I shoot from; they always say I shoot better from farther, so playing with my team, I always just have to shoot when I can have an opening,” she said.
