The 18-year-old sniper was voted by his teammates as the club's captain captain for this season, a tribute to not only his penchant for accumulating accumulating points, but to his leadership skills as well. "He's not the stand- up and scream kind of guy and he doesn't look for the glory with the media or the fans," says general . , manager Doug Luey of the team's leader. "He just goes out there and plays solid every game. He leads by example on the floor." Sargent, like he is in just about every game, was a leader on the floor Sunday afternoon, scoring twice and . adding three assists in a lopsided 23- 6 victory over the visiting Gloucester Griffins. The victory was the fourth in a row for the Green Gaels, improving improving to 9-5 on the season.
