Chesapeake’s fast-paced running style proved too much as it routed the Southeastern Panthers 78-33 Tuesday.

Chesapeake built a huge first half lead and never looked back to improve its record to 5-0 on the season.

"We played well the first half and then we just backed off of our press the second half," Chesapeake coach Norm Persin said. "We need to get things going. We’ve got our league coming up and we have to be ready."

Anthony Delimpo had 14 points and 11 rebounds to lead Chesapeake. Zeb Best had 12 points and nine rebounds while Bobby Barbour scored 12 and had five steals.

Adam Pemberton and Andy Clark had four assists each while combing for 14 points.

Best scored 8 points the first quarter as Chesapeake dashed to a 23-6 lead.

The onslaught continued the second quarter as Barbour knocked down 9 points and Chesapeake surged to a 48-14 halftime cushion.

Chesapeake improved its lead to 63-23 after three quarters and Josh Waugh scored 6 points the fourth quarter to help set the final score.

D. J. Barnhard had 11 points to pace Southeastern.

Chesapeake hosts Ironton next Tuesday, Dec. 28.
