It takes a special type of person to be an individual, lone captain on any athletic team, harkening back to a day when student-athletes followed the lead of one peer. In a day and age where some teams have as many as five or even six captains, Barnstable High School’s Donnie Brodd is an anachronism. He is also the first capecod.com athlete to be selected as Athlete of the Week by himself. Yes, indeed there were other notable efforts, including a career-high 35 points and 19 rebounds by Dennis-Yarmouth’s LK Metz versus St. John Paul II earlier in the week, but Brodd’s effort was superlative even by that comparison. Netting a hat trick in the first period in his team’s 4-0 win over Newton South on Saturday, Brodd came back on Sunday to the Hyannis Youth and Community Center and netted his team’s first two goals in Barnstable High School’s first-ever victory over a perennial Super Eight contender, Catholic Memorial. Adding an assist in both games, Brodd’s two-day point tally stood at seven. For his leadership by example, the “machine,” as he is sometimes known around the rink, is this week’s undisputed Capecod.com Athlete of the Week.
