Yell it and spell - My cellphone rang at the end of the Houston Texans’ victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. The screen flashed a single word – “Pink.” I answered knowing it was Pink Lloyd Mears. Lloyd is a basketball official, landscaper and member of the Delaware Track & Field Hall of Fame. “I know how you like to connect the dots. Did you know that Bobby Slowik, the offensive coordinator of the Houston Texans, is the grandson of Bill and Anne Thomson?” “Bobby who? Spell that so I can track it down after we’re done talking.” Bill and Anne Thomson are in the Delaware Track & Field Hall of Fame. Their daughter Carol was an NCAA champion in the 100-meter hurdles in 1976 and held the world record in the 60-meter hurdles. Bill ran and coached at UD, and Carol hurdled for Newark High and later Delaware. Go to the Texans’ team page and read the coaching bio on Bobby Slowik. He's the guy the cameras kept showing during Houston scoring drives. He looks like he’s 17 years old. Lloyd Mears and his relay mates in the mile relay were inducted into the Delaware Track & Field Hall of Fame in 2008. From the website: “The 1972 University of Delaware mile relay team set the school record with a time of 3:14.2, finishing fourth in the Penn Relays IC4A race, a time that still stands as the school record and also converts to a 3:13.0 for the 4-by-400 meters.The team consisted of four local athletes who were non-scholarship athletes. Running leadoff was Lloyd Mears (Georgetown/Sussex Central) with a time of 48.9y (48.6m). Running second leg was Peter Sukalo (Christiana) whose split was 49.2y (48.9m). Third leg was turned in by John Flickinger (Christiana) with a split of 48.2y (47.9m) who handed off to Ed Mongan (Tower Hill), a track hall of fame inductee with a split of 47.9y (47.6m), bringing the team home in fourth place.”

Isaiah is a 2024 graduate of Sussex Tech who is now a freshman for the NHTI Cougars at Concord Community College in New Hampshire. Ayers scored 26 points in a recent 121-107 win over Bristol Community College. Isaiah was 8-for-11 on three-point shots. A post from the college Facebook page reads, “Not only did men's basketball score 121 points last Saturday, they did it on simply unreal efficiency. They shot over 50% from the field and over 60.5% from 3PT, including an absolutely unreal 14-for-19 from behind the arc in the second half.” Ayers had seven of those 14 second-half triples and was named Player of the Game. Coach Irvin Harris: “But beyond the numbers, what truly inspires me is the hard work, focus and togetherness these athletes display both on and off the court. They understand the importance of balancing academics and athletics, achieving the highest GPA among our sports teams semester one. This commitment to excellence is what sets them apart.”
