THIS WEEK IN KEYS SPORTS

He is a very hard worker that is committed to his craft and making his team better.”
– Joe Szymanski, Hurricanes head coach

When Coral Shores junior Donovan Thiery stepped onto the mound on Feb. 20 to face county rival Marathon, he shouldered enormous pressure. After his performance, it was clear that the time the 6’5” righty had put in during the offseason was worth it. Thiery faced 19 batters last Thursday, striking out 11 over six innings, giving up a single hit with no walks. His spectacular outing on the mound was integral in the win. The following night, he went on the offensive against Somerset Silver Palms, going 4 for 5 at the plate with a pair of singles, a double and a home run for six RBIs against the Stallions. For his dominance on the diamond and near-perfect performances last week, Coral Shores’ Donovan Thiery is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

GOLDEN GRAPPLERS

Eight individual wins, one team title for Keys wrestlers

On Feb. 20, eight teams sent their best athletes to Tavernier for the FHSAA 1A District 16 Championships in boys wrestling. For the 16th consecutive season, Chaz Jimenez’s Conchs won the team title. The hosts, Coral Shores, finished third. All 14 Conchs earned a shot at regionals by placing in the top four at districts. Eight Hurricanes did the same, and three wrestlers finishing fifth will have a chance for an at-large bid to the next level of competition.

District champions for Key West were Lazaro Diaz at 126 pounds, Abram Canet at 132, Kyle Condella at 144 and Alfredo Corrales at 175. Second-place finishes came from Zander Font (113), Elvis Garcia (138) and James Searcy (150). Michael Guzman (165), Jakobe Williamson (190), Jacob Ferguson (120) and Alexandre Allens (285) placed third. Donald Kirkpatrick (106), Reisel Toledo (157) and Sanford Horn (214) placed fourth.

For Coral Shores, Costa Tuttle is the new district champ at 106 pounds. Sebastian McCoy (120), David Beltran (150) and Finn McDonough (157) all won district championships in their classes as well. Joining them at regionals will be Joseph Luciano, who placed third at 215, and Ethan Struhs (126), Sterling Keefe (165) and Andrew Grgek (285), who each finished fourth. Lucas Cossio (132), Jeremiah Ortiz (144) and Jack Brown (190), fifth-place winners at the tournament, all have a chance at the next round should they qualify for an at-large spot.

Regionals for both teams will be held at Cardinal Gibbons on Feb. 28 and March 1. At stake is a place in the FHSAA State Championship brackets. Athletes who successfully place at regionals will make the trip to the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee for states, which begin Mar. 6.

CONCHED OUT

Key West bests Coral Shores in girls lacrosse

After dropping their season opener to Calvary Christian, Key West’s girls lacrosse team headed into their Feb. 19 game at Coral Shores with cautious optimism. The Conchs worked hard to control the tempo of the game and pulled out of the first quarter with a 5-1 advantage, which they stretched to a 16-4 win by the final

Coach Marisa Giacopuzzi described the team’s first win as a confidence-builder, adding, “It was a beautiful game, (with) so much chemistry between our returners and new players.”

Representing those returners in peak form was senior Kaitlyn Piloto, who scored five goals and was credited with one assist, five draw controls and three ground balls for the Conchs.

Colbie Turner scored four and Deanna Mercier three, contributing to the score and the leadership provided by the Lady Conchs’ upperclassmen. Freshman Mavis Bishop netted a pair of goals to represent the new players. Bishop also picked up five ground balls and won a draw control, making it clear the Conchs have plenty of depth to their roster this season. In all, Key West took 29 shots, finding the net on 16 of them.

Two nights later, Key West added win number two at Coral Reef in a 7-5 hard-fought game against the Cudas. Giacopuzzi chalked up the win, which she described as aggressive and at times ugly, as a learning experience for her team.

“We can only control ourselves, our actions and play the game Iʼve taught them to play,” she said.

Piloto and Mercier, the team’s captains, scored three and two goals, respectively. Piloto added five draw controls and Mercier assisted twice and won three draw controls. Juniors Taylor Gibson and Eisley Whitehead accounted for the other two goals. Courtney Grabus and Olivia Moore shared time in goal, combining for four saves in the win.

The next day, the Conchs came up short, falling 14-13 to the Ransom Everglades Raiders in another all-out battle. The very talented and equally aggressive Ransom crew finished the game down three players due to major fouls. Key West was up early in the game, but the Raiders steadily came back and were leading by the half. Key West did not give up, pulling ahead in quarter four to a 10-9 lead with 10 minutes left, but Ransom was able to set the tempo and control the game, pulling off the win in the final minutes.

“We were down a few players this weekend and made some field adjustments that we hadnʼt practiced yet. We had four freshmen starting for us this weekend, with this being only their third and fourth actual lacrosse games,” said Giacopuzzi. “I am confident we will see Ransom in the district playoffs, and by the end of season, we will have evolved and can play another 46 minutes in hopes of a different outcome.”

The Lady Conchs’ defenders stepped up in the game and were praised for their efforts despite the loss. Their collective forced turnovers kept the Conchs in the game until the end. Adrianna Dall, Turner and Ashlyn Picco were credited with solid play on defense. Turner also scored four goals with an assist offensively. Mercier scored four and Piloto two, with the remaining goals coming from Gibson, Whitehead and Teagan Shea. Bishop earned an assist and an interception in the game. Grabus had five saves, a pair of ground balls and an interception in goal. Moore had a pair of saves during her time in goal. The 2-2 Conchs finished out their final of five road games Feb. 25 (results not available at press time), then play at home for the first time this season on Friday, Feb. 28 at 5 p.m. against Westminster Christian.

RAISING THE BAR Marathon, Coral

Shores outlift Somerset, Keys Gate

Marathon, Somerset Silver Palms and Keys

Gate traveled to Tavernier on Feb. 19 to join Coral Shores for a boys weightlifting meet. The Fins and Hurricanes tied for first in Olympic lifts, with Marathon edging out Coral Shores for the win in the traditional event. The Keys teams won all but two of the 10 weight classes, with all eight winners taking first in both the traditional and Olympic events.

Coral Shores’ Nick Brown (119 pounds) and Xavier Johnson (183) won their respective weight classes. Marathon had winners in Chase Leird (129), Matthias Martinez-Velez (154), Damian Stasiewicz (169), Max Childress (199), Tanner Ross (219) and Braulio Garcia (238).

Though the girls just returned from their state championships, it is still early in the season for boys weightlifting in Florida. Consequently, most athletes are not yet maxing out, or lifting their top weights, for the individual events. In addition to growing stronger as the season progresses, athletes are coached to hold off on their maximum lifts as a measure of safety as they perfect their form and also to peak at the appropriate time, which is districts. Despite this, some of the more seasoned athletes’ numbers are looking very impressive. The top bench press last week was 270 pounds, achieved by Marathon’s Eduardo Garcia and Tanner Ross. The top weights in both snatch and clean also came from Ross, with a 185-pound snatch and 250-pound clean.

Districts for boys weightlifting begin the final week of March, with states scheduled for April 11 and 12 this year.

TRADING WINS

Key West girls, Coral Shores boys victorious in Southernmost City meetup

Coral Shores made the trip to the Southernmost City on Feb. 18 to take on the Conchs in boys and girls tennis. The Hurricane boys won 5-2, with wins coming from their top four players in singles. Aidan Althouse, Erik Moerner, Zach Bolano and Jaden Heilbron all picked up wins for Coral Shores. Althouse and Max Smith teamed up in the No. 1 doubles match for win number five. Key West’s Mason Martel won the No. 5 singles match while Wyatt Bowtels and Hubert Konopka won in No. 2 doubles for Key West’s second point.

The Lady Conchs won 6-1, with Eva Drozdetskaia, Gabriella Aguero, Hamida Mohsinova and Leyla Atilla winning the No. 1 through 4 singles matches. Drozdetskaia and Aguero and Mohsinova and Atilla teamed up for wins in No. 1 and 2 doubles. Kai Redruello scored the lone point for the Lady ’Canes, winning the No. 5 singles match.

CONCHS GO 3 FOR 4 ON THE ROAD

Lady Fins open with 27-run barrage

The Lady Conchs opened their softball season at Miami Palmetto on Feb. 18, making quick work of the Panthers in a five inning, 13-3 mercy-rule win. Brianna Brenner went the distance pitching, striking out seven of 21 batters faced, walking just two and allowing four hits. Offensively, Arianna Garcia led the team with a pair of doubles. Shylo Sanchez had two hits as well. Lucy Katz and Kaleaya Dickerson both tripled while Mia Waldner and Skye Sterling doubled. Chloe Kongos, Vera Rodger, Aaliyah McLeod and Alexa Condella all had base hits to make it an even dozen for Key West.

Their next victim was Somerset Academy Canyons. The Conchs made the trip to Boynton Beach to face the Cougars Feb. 20 and brought home another mercy-rule victory, winning 10-0. Ryleigh Harnish got the start at pitcher, striking out seven batters, walking two and allowing three hits from the 16 batters she faced. Condella and Sterling had the hot bats, registering a single and a double each. Tavyn Gage had a pair of hits and drove in two runs. The Lady Conchs added another dozen hits in all to their stats and were perfect in the field during the road win.

The traveling continued Feb. 22 in a doubleheader at Westminster Christian School. There, Key West split with the Warriors, winning the first game 2-1 and losing the second 11-1. In the win, Brenner faced 27 Warriors at the plate, striking out eight, walking one and giving up six hits. Sterling, Rodger and Lilee Gage had a pair of hits apiece, with one of Rodger’s being a double. Key West racked up eight total hits against the Warriors in the victory.

After a short break, the teams faced off again to a much different result. This time around, the Warriors piled on double-digit hits while the Conch bats went dormant. Waldner doubled while Sanchez and Sterling added a single each to account for Key West’s three hits. Harnish struck out four in the loss. Key West continues its travels this week and will host Ransom Everglades for the home opener on March 8.

Marathon opened the season at home Feb. 20 against the Hurricanes of Somerset South Homestead. The Lady Fins won 27-14 after pouring on 13 runs in the first inning alone. Sophomore Sara Robinson led the team offensively with three hits, including a triple. Trinity McLeod, Maeve Merryman and Madelyn Thornton picked up two hits apiece in the big win. Elena Eubank stole five bases while Merryman stole four to keep the pressure on the Hurricanes. Thornton struck out five, walked 12 and gave up three hits in her first appearance in the circle for the Fins. The game lasted four-and-a-half innings, ending in a decisive mercy-rule victory for Marathon.

Coral Shores lost its regular-season opener against Palmer Trinity School Feb. 20. The Lady Hurricanes fell to the Falcons 15-0.

HURRICANES TAKE DOWN DOLPHINS

Conchs split with Miami Christian

Aperfect storm of lights-out pitching, error-free fielding and bats ablaze gave Coral Shores the advantage over Marathon on Feb. 20 when the Hurricanes topped the Dolphins 2-0 in front of an excited home crowd.

Donovan Thiery was stingy on the mound, giving up just one hit with no walks while fanning 11 Fins in six spectacular innings. Riley O’Berry threw one inning of relief to close out Coral Shores’ win. Campbell Lavoie was 3-3 at the plate, Mason Clark added a pair of hits and AJ Putetti and O’Berry added one each. Clark batted in both of the Hurricanes’ runs.

The game, scoreless through three-and-a-half innings, broke open in the bottom of the fourth when a pair of errors, a walk and a hit batter resulted in two runs for Coral Shores. Despite a fairly even matchup between the teams, the Fins paid dearly for several unfortunately-timed errors.

“The biggest difference is that we had zero errors in the game and Donovan struck out 11 of the 18 batters he faced, only allowing one base runner on one hit in the first inning,” said Hurricanes head coach Joe Szymanski.

Fins coach Joey Gonzalez agreed. “Our defensive miscues across the course of the game proved to be the difference as both runs that were plated in the entire game came from errors on our end.” Despite the rivalry, Gonzalez had praise for Thiery, as well. “Tuesday's game against Coral Shores was a true pitchers’ duel between Donovan Thiery and Dylan Williams. Any time you run into a pitcher of Donovan's caliber, you just have to tip your cap; he had one heck of an evening and found a way to keep us off-balance all night. Our sophomore Dylan Williams also did a tremendous job keeping us in the ball game, only giving up two unearned runs across five frames while striking out seven. He battled and worked out of numerous jams,” said Gonzalez.

Confident after their win over Marathon, the Hurricanes traveled to Somerset Silver Palms, where they padded their stats with an incredible 20 hits against the Stallions. Thiery registered four hits in five at bats, including a double and a home run, batting in six of the Hurricanes’ runs in the 15-8 win. Putetti added three hits, including a double and a home run. Maykol Bonito registered three singles and four RBIs while Lavoie, O’Berry, Keller Blackburn and Grady Temkin each had two hits. Clark and Derek Ramos accounted for the final two. Six pitchers saw action against the Stallions, who, despite 11 hits and four walks against Coral Shores, could not overcome their six errors and the steady stream of Hurricane hits.

Marathon recovered from the loss to Coral Shores by defeating a visiting Riviera Prep 11-0 in a mercy-rule win. Gavin Leal and Jack Chapman each had two of Marathon’s 10 hits. Mason Thornton, Dylan Williams, Reef Rella, Gabe Leal, Jason Stubblefield and Bryan Broche accounted for the rest. The Fins stole nine bases to keep the Bulldogs on their toes. Gabe Leal earned the win on the mound, pitching four innings, fanning three, walking one and allowing just one hit. Shane Dieguez closed out the final inning to boost the Fins to 4-3 and give the team some much-needed confidence heading into this week, when they face a pair of unbeaten teams, starting with Ransom Everglades and then NSU University School.

The Victors of Miami Christian paid Key West a visit Feb. 21 and 22 for a pair of games at Rex Weech Field. In game number one, the Conchs gave every indication that fans would watch their hometown heroes take down another highly-ranked team. Vinnie Moline faced just three batters in inning one, and the Conchs’ defense quickly dispatched them all. Key West would remain error-free for the duration of the game.

In Key West’s first at-bat, sophomore Roman Garcia would score first after being hit with a pitch, then advancing on singles from Caden Pichardo and Sam Holland. The Victors got out of the inning, leaving three Conchs stranded on base. Miami Christian tied it up in the bottom of the first, then Key West slowly pulled ahead with one run in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. The Victors scored one in the sixth to make the score 4-2 in favor of the Conchs.

In the top of the seventh, Miami Christian’s patience paid off. Two walks and a hit batter loaded the bases, then a second hit batter brought the Victors one run closer. With two outs, a Miami Christian batter singled, driving in two runs before Key West retired the side. In their last at-bat, the Conchs managed to get one on base via a Jackson Bernhard single, but he would not reach home and Key West would have to settle for a 5-4 loss at the hands of the aptly-named Victors.

The Conchs came back with a vengeance the following night, surging to a quick lead in the first when Garcia homered on a line drive to left field. They added two more in inning two off of a single, three walks and a sacrifice fly. The Victors put one run on the board in the third, then orchestrated a comeback in the fourth, fueled by four walks and a hit batter. The Victors would hold on to their lead as the Conchs went four consecutive innings without a player crossing the plate. In the bottom of the seventh, facing a second loss to the Victors, the Conchs put together a comeback of their own.

Jackson Bernhard started things off with a walk; then, with one out, Kade Maltz singled to advance Bernhard to second. The Victors swapped out their pitcher in hopes of holding on, but Garcia caught a piece of one, sending a hard ground ball to the outfield to bring the tying run home. With runners on first and second, the Victors made out number two, then intentionally walked Sam Holland to load the bases. Auggy Davila, behind in the count, connected for a shot deep into left field, scoring two for a thrilling Conch win and giving Key West a 3-1 record as they prep for NSU University School on Feb. 28 and March 1. The Sharks are 6-0 this season, and have earned a high ranking in the state, but the Conchs will have the advantage of their home turf and a sneak peek as NSU plays Marathon the night before.

“Any time you run into a pitcher of Donovan’s caliber, you just have to tip your cap.”
— Joey Gonzalez

Keys track and field athletes stand out among top competition

Marathon and Coral Shores traveled to Miami Feb. 21 for the annual Spartan Invitational held at Miami’s Southridge Park. The Fins and ’Canes joined a pack of 26 teams to compete in the various events, and when the final race was complete in the 12-hour meet, two local athletes came out on top.

Marathon’s Justice Lee, fresh off her trip to the state championships in weightlifting, took little time to transfer her strength from the weight room to the track.

LEE, MERRYMAN WIN AT SPARTAN INVITATIONAL

The junior hurler unleashed a javelin throw that sailed 100’9” for a first-place finish and 10 team points.

Fellow junior Ava Merryman claimed a first of her own in the pole vault competition, clearing 7’10.5,” and though it was far from her best, there was no need to continue after she outperformed the rest of the pack. Teammate Samantha Batzer, also a junior, was third in the vault. Senior Caylie Globe was sixth in the long jump, picking up three team points for her efforts. Marathon’s girls finished a respectable seventh place out of the pack.

The boys team did not see an individual winner, but senior Vance Bursa managed a new PR in the 1,600-meter race. Bursa completed his four laps in 4:32, finishing fourth. Back at home, Bursa went on to run a 37:57 10K, then a 17:10 5K a few hours later to win both events at the Sombrero Beach Run. The Fins picked up the rest of their points in the pole vault, with a third-place finish from sophomore Cullen Coleman-Sayer and a fourth from seventhgrader Maverick McDonald.

The Fins were not the only athletes picking up points last week. Coral Shores’ Ali Wheatley placed third overall in the 3,200, finishing the two-mile run, the first of her high school career, in a very respectable 12:10.

Regular-season track and field meets run through the first week in April in Florida, with districts beginning April 16. The season culminates in Jacksonville at the University of North Florida on May 9 and 10.
