the lady lifters at Marathon High School turned in a program-defining performance at the FHSAA State Championships, securing multiple state medals and a second-place win for the team.

15 1ST foot vault place
Key West’s Ian Newton picked up his first pole last January and managed to use a combination of raw athleticism and diligent attention to detail to vault his way to the state meet in 2024. This year, he is nipping at the heels of the school’s record – a mark that has stood for nearly 20 years. The talented athlete is part of Key West’s musically-gifted Newton family and has parlayed his keen focus and precision in the music world into athletic greatness. Last week, Newton vaulted 15 feet, just six inches shy of the record. He actually cleared the bar at the record mark, but hit it on the way down, giving the studious senior something to strive for as the season progresses. For his resolute, lead-by-example work ethic and incredible feats of athleticism, Ian Newton is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

LEVEL UP
Two Hurricanes receive full scholarships to further gridiron careers
Coral Shores football standouts Eddie Holly and Jarmoris Davis will extend not just their football careers but their time as teammates at Holmes Community College in Goodman, Mississippi.
Both signed letters of intent to play at Holmes on Feb. 5 during a schoolwide event in which the student body celebrated their achievements. Holly and Davis played significant roles in the team’s Florida Independent Conference title last season and received full athletic scholarships to take their talents to the next level of play.
The coaching staff and administration at Coral Shores expressed their pride in the young men for not just their accomplishments on the field, but also as leaders and role models for the school. And the ’Canes have bittersweet feelings: Their finest athletes will play at the next level, but they are certainly sad to see them go.
Holmes Community College head coach Marcus Wood has big plans for the athletes. “We are excited that Eddie Holly is going to be a Bulldog. He had a great high school career, and we expect him to help us win a championship in the fall,” he said.
“Jarmoris has the perfect frame and skill set to be a great edge for us,” Wood continued. “He’s tall, has a good bend, explosive first step and has great technique.”
Marathon’s Justice Lee strikes state gold as team takes second place
Well over 100 high schools from all over Florida were represented at the FHSAA 1A State Championships held in Lakeland last week. When the chalk cleared, Marathon was the No. 2 team in the state for traditional lifts, just six points behind this year’s traditional winner in Wewahitchka High.
In the Olympic events, Marathon was in seventh, and the Fins weren’t alone in the top 10; Coral Shores ended in a six-way tie for ninth. The success of the Keys teams came from a full year’s training by some very dedicated athletes, many of whom will return home with new hardware around their necks. In all, Keys lifters received 11 state medals, an impressive accomplishment for small schools with relatively new programs.
The talk of the town in the Middle Keys was whether junior Justice Lee could defend her state titles in the 183-pound class. All three of Lee’s lifts improved in the offseason, but a dominant athlete from the panhandle quietly dropped into Lee’s weight class, giving her a run for her money. Worse yet for what her coaches call the hardest-working athlete they have had the pleasure of coaching, the other athlete’s top lift was the clean and jerk, which plays a role in both the traditional and Olympic events.
Lee took matters into her own hands and pulled off a personal-best 170-pound snatch lift to pull ahead for an early lead in the Olympic event. For reference, the only other athlete to match that lift was the state champ in the Unlimited class. Lee added 205 pounds to her total in the Olympic event in the clean and jerk lift, but missed her third lift. That effort could have put her in a tie for first, but she had to settle for a silver medal in the event.
Her 205-pound clean was the second-best heading into the traditional event, which combines that lift with the bench press. Her opening attempt at 170 on the bench was good, but she would have to stack on some plates in order to win gold and defend her title. Lee added two fives and pressed 180 for the win.
As if gold and silver medals and a two-time state champ weren’t impressive enough for a little school on an island, Marathon fielded three more state medal winners, two of whom were in the same weight class. At 101 pounds, Ella Dunn and Ayme Maradiaga managed to snag three of the 12 total medals in their class. Dunn earned a pair of fifth-place medals, while Maradiaga won bronze in the traditional event. Dunn’s 115-pound clean lift placed her on solid ground for both categories and Maradiaga’s 120-pound bench press helped propel her into third. Both lifters clean and bench more than their own bodyweight.
Marathon’s final medalist was Ella Evans, who earned a sixth-place medal in Olympic lifts and fourth in traditional lifts in the 129-pound class. Evans did not miss a single lift, with her best weights settling at 115 pounds in the snatch competition,155 in clean and jerk and 145 on the bench. Evans’ medals made it seven in total for the Fins.
Coral Shores athletes earned four medals of their own at the competition. Jennille Arias returned to the Keys with a pair of medals, one silver and the other bronze. Arias’ final lift in the snatch competition sealed her third-place finish in Olympic lifts. After missing the first two attempts, Arias snatched 140 pounds to put her in the running. She missed lifts one and two in the clean and jerk contest, too, putting any hopes for a medal at risk; both the Olympic and traditional events include the clean lift. On attempt three, Arias’ 180-pound lift was good, securing the bronze state medal for her in the Olympic 169-pound class. All three bench presses were good lifts, and her final bench of 190 pounds put her firmly in second for a silver medal to complement the bronze. Arias was not the only Hurricane to bring home a medal; Sydney Eysenbach won fourth in Olympic and sixth in traditional in the Unlimited class. Eysenbach’s lifts included a 150-pound snatch, 165-pound clean and 190-pound bench. Joining Eysenbach in the Unlimited category and in the top 10 in Olympic lifts was Vanessa Gabriel. Her 115-pound snatch and 155-pound clean put her in 10th place.

BATS ABLAZE
Keys teams rack up wins, stats in early-season diamond action
BThe Cowboys got out to a quick lead in inning one, but
aseball love was in the air at Rex Weech on Feb. 14 when the Conchs took on the ABF Academy Cowboys out of Hialeah. The Cowboys got out to a quick lead in inning one, but Key West shut them down after that, pouring on 11 runs in five innings of play and holding ABF to their first-inning score.
Key West’s bats were on fire, led by Sam Holland, who was 3-4 at the plate including a double and a two-run homer. Jackson Bernhard, Nelson Ong, Roman Garcia and Auggy Davilla had two hits apiece, while Kade Maltz and Xavier Perez accounted for the rest of the Conchs’ hits. To make matters worse for the Cowboys, Key West was perfect in the field and their pitching was on as well. Vinny Moline faced 15 batters over four innings, striking out eight, walking two and giving up four hits. Kasey Kasper put in one inning of relief to seal the deal.
The following night, the Conchs faced the other ABF Academy, the Homestead Bandits. Another night of solid pitching and error-free fielding spelled trouble for the Bandits. Offensively, Garcia was 3-4 including a triple, while Maltz added a pair of hits. Ong, Holland, Perez and Davila also registered hits, with Davila’s being a triple. Christian Koppal earned the win, striking out seven, walking two and allowing just a single hit over four innings. Jon Carlos Lampas-Gormley and Cruz Holmes combined for three innings, striking out four over the final three frames. The 8-2 win gave the Conchs a 3-1 record in early-season play.
A six-run fourth inning was the difference maker in a 10-4 loss suffered by Marathon at the hands of Immaculata-La Salle Feb. 11. The Fins put together a four-run rally in inning five to narrow the gap, but the Royal Lions held onto the lead, handing the Dolphins their first loss of the season. The Fins racked up seven hits, including a pair each from Dylan Williams and Bryan Broche, in the loss.

Two nights later, the outcome was very different. The Fins enjoyed a four-inning mercy rule romp over the Hurricanes of Somerset South Homestead in a 16-0 win. Three Fins took advantage of a long center field as Gabe Leal, Mason Thornton and Dylan Williams each hit bombs to the back of center for inside-the-park home runs. Leal added a triple for a pair of hits while his twin brother Gavin also had a pair of hits. Jack Dunn and Jason Stubblefield Jr. each singled. Reef Rella was 3-3 on the night, including a triple. The seventh-grader also saw time on the mound, closing out the final inning with a pair of strikeouts after Shane Dieguez pitched three with six strikeouts for the win.

Coral Shores opened the season Feb. 11 on the road, traveling to Miami to challenge Terra Environmental. Leadoff man AJ Putetti started things off with a single and the ’Canes poured on three runs in the top of the first to give Terra a wakeup call. Terra added runs in the first, third and fourth while the ’Canes stalled offensively, resulting in a tie which would last until the seventh.
Daylight ran out and insufficient lighting made extra innings impossible, and the teams would have to settle for a deadlock in the books. Donovan Thiery started on the mound, lasting two-and-a-third innings and striking out five, until Riley O’Berry and, later, Campbell Lavoie came in for relief. Thiery led the team offensively with three hits and one RBI. O’Berry, Putetti, Maykol Bonito, Eddie Holly and Keller Blackburn added one each.

Two nights later, the ’Canes picked up win number one in their home opener against the Warriors of Dade Christian. Coral Shores led the game until the Warriors tied it up with a three-run rally in the fifth. Coral Shores was patient and took advantage of a pair of walks in the bottom of the seventh. With two outs on the board, Blackburn hit a hard ground-ball single to score O’Berry for the winning run. Lavoie got the start, pitching four and a third innings, then Thiery took over to close it out. Putetti and Benito each had a pair of singles while O’Berry and Thiery each doubled. Blackburn accounted for the final of Coral Shores’ seven hits in the 5-4 win.
CONCH CRUSADERS
Four from Key West punch their tickets to regionals
The Lady Conchs wrestling team traveled to Coral Park on Feb. 13 to participate in the FHSAA District 16 tournament. Key West placed seventh out of 21 teams, with five athletes making it to finals. Sheyla Figueira brought home the runnerup medal in her 105-pound weight class, and Maria Halushka won third place at 125. Sunisa Kuhn took fifth at 155 and Isabella Cosme (145) and Yarnesie Corrales (170) were both sixth in their classes. Figueira, Halushka, Kuhn and Cosme advanced to regionals. This year’s Region 4 tournament will be held Saturday, Feb. 22 at South Dade Senior High. The four qualifying Conchs will do their best to make it to the “final boss” of girls wrestling in Florida: the state championships held March 6-8 in Kissimmee. While boys wrestling is divided into three classifications determined by school enrollment, girls wrestling is in just its fourth year in Florida. While it is exploding in popularity, all teams are under the 1A designation.

TAKING THEIR MARKS
Mercer breaks Conch record in home track opener
Keys teams descended on the Southernmost City on Feb. 13 for an earlyseason track meet.
The Conchs dominated at home, taking the top spot in the boys and girls competitions by a resounding margin. Jeff DeJean won three events for the Conchs: the 100-meter race as well as triple and long jump. Walson Morin was first in the 200, Rayan Barrios in the 400 and the 4x100 team of Edwing Mercadeo, Chase Gaertner, Reef Guyet and Matthew Oviedo rounded out Key West’s winners on the track.
The Conchs virtually owned the field as well, with firsts from Malachi Telisma in high jump, Ian Newton in pole vault, Te’von Watson in shot put, Jeremiah Harvey in javelin and Noah Mercer in discus. Mercer’s 148’9” toss was 30 feet longer than his closest competitor, but the final foot was what counted most for him. Mercer eclipsed Jack Gruba’s 2013 school record by just over a foot. Gruba was on hand volunteering at the meet to see the historic hurl land.
Coral Shores had a double winner in Xavier Johnson, who cruised over the 110 and 400 hurdles for a pair of firsts. Adrik Gadea won the 800-meter race and ran a leg of the Hurricanes’ winning 4x400 relay team, which also included William Roberts, Tristian Rios and Alaric Rodriguez.
Marathon’s Vance Bursa went the distance and won the 1,600 and 3,200-meter races. Bursa also ran a leg of the Fins’ first-place 4x800
team also featuring Tony Bursa, Lucian Burns and Olivier Mondesir.
Key West’s Audrey Smith led the girls in points. Smith locked down all three throwing events, winning discus, shot put and javelin. The Lady Conchs had plenty of double winners as well.
Colleen Barter won the long and high jump events, Alyssandra Camargo won the 100 and 400-meter races and Ariel Newton won the 200-meter race and the pole vault event. Violet Jangraw was first in the 800 and Caylaa Makimaa took first in the 3,200. Key West’s 4x100 relay team of Jordan Greene, Mirakle Humphrey, Anaiya Marius and Capri Miner beat out a second Key West team in addition to Marathon and Coral Shores for the Conchs’ final first place.
The Hurricanes had a pair of event winners plus a first-place relay team. Coral Shores’ Ali Wheatley won the 1,600-meter race while Julieanna Oddo broke the ribbon in the 100-meter high hurdles. Wheatley teamed up with Niveah Howard, Tess Hill and Kate King for first place in the 4x400 relay.
The Lady Fins’ only first place came from their 4x800 relay team. Rilynn Richards, Molly Joly, Mylana Loza and Tinashay Cunningham raced to the finish for five team points in that event.
The early-season success makes for an exciting track and field season this year. Regular season meets run through April 11. The culmination, FHSAA’s state championships, occur on May 9 for 2A Key West and Coral Shores and May 10 for 1A Marathon.

END OF THE ROAD
Lady Fins’ basketball season ends in Wildwood
Marathon was well aware of the caliber of play they would face from the Wildwood Wildcats on Feb. 13. The Fins made the sixhour commute to play on the undefeated Wildcats’ home court against a team ranked in the top 10 in any division in Florida – let alone the state’s tiniest classification, the Rural 1A division, reserved for small schools in sparsely-populated areas.
The Wildcats have scored more than 80 points multiple times this season and hit 100 points in one contest in the regular season. Wildwood put on a show of athletic dominance with a flurry of scoring in the first quarter that would eclipse what the Dolphins scored the entire game. At the final buzzer, Marathon’s Cinderella run into the state tournament ended with an 85-39 loss.
But for Marathon, it was anything but settling for a sweet 16 appearance. The Lady Fins are the defending 1A Rural district champions and have seen firsthand what it will take to inch deeper into the playoffs.
STRONG START
Boys lacrosse teams earn big wins in week one
The Key West Conchs lacrosse team got off to a 2-0 start this season, first with a road win at Florida Christian on Feb. 11. Coach Alberto Piceno gave the game ball to freshman Owen Dougherty.
“We lost a defenseman and he stepped in and did a phenomenal job; he stood out as making a difference in the game,” Dougherty said. Also making quite a difference was goalkeeper Mateo Lopez, who was credited with 11 saves and a 73% save rate.
“He kept us in the game,” Piceno said.
Zachary Payne scored three, Sawyer Hill two and Carlo Vernieri and Kieran Smith one apiece in the 7-4 win.
Two nights later, the Conchs won their home opener against John Carroll Catholic in a 13-5 rout. Vernieri netted four goals while Payne and Brooks Pellicier scored three each. Reif Wallen added two and Hill chalked up one more for a baker’s dozen for Key West. Lopez’s saves hit the double digits again, keeping the Conchs out in front for the entirety of the game. Against the
Rams, Piceno was impressed with Vernieri, a sophomore.
“He is an impactful player on the field; his ability to manage the game, to speed it up, slow it down, direct, and get his teammates involved in plays was crucial,” he explained.
Key West was not the only Keys team putting the hurt on Florida Christian last week. Hurricane fans got their money’s worth at the regular-season opener at home last week. Coral Shores’ boys lacrosse coach Chris Carrow was ecstatic with his team’s performance in a double-overtime win he described as “thrilling” on Feb. 13 against the Patriots.
Brock Bynum’s 10-save clutch performance shut down the Patriots’ offense while the Hurricanes’ offensive unit was firing on all cylinders. Lucas Carballo, Reed Tutor, Zane Martinez and Christian Gonzalez all found the net to contribute to the team’s goal total in the big win.
While the boys teams were unbeaten in week one, the girls teams struggled to find their mojo. Key West lost their opener 16-4 at Calvary Christian on Feb. 15. Coral Shores fell to 0-1 after a 15-5 loss at home against Palmer Trinity on Feb. 11.
TENNIS, ANYONE?
Marathon, Coral Shores square off in the Upper Keys
On Feb. 3, Coral Shores hosted Marathon’s boys and girls tennis teams. The Hurricanes swept the girls matches 7-0 and defeated five of seven contenders on the boys team. Charlotte MacEachern, Kai Guth, Chloe Koval, Emily Rosu and Emma Sogegeian won their singles matches in the one through five spots. MacEachern and Guth teamed up to win the No. 1 doubles match and Koval and Rosu did the same in No. 2 doubles. Marathon’s number-one player in boys tennis, Adrien
Holdinga, won his match. Holdinga recently received an offer to play tennis for Embry Riddle and signed his letter of intent this week. Also winning for the Fins was the No. 2 doubles team of Matt Delgado and Kasimir Krzypkowski. Numbers 2 through 5, Zach Bolan, Rory MacEachern, Jaden Heibron and Corben Dean, won their matches for the Hurricanes. Aiden Althouse and Max Smith teamed up to win the No. 1 doubles match for Coral Shores.
