Last week, Key West’s Eva Drozdetskaia faced a giant at Gulliver Prep, and rather than losing her resolve, methodically went about dispatching her opponent. “Her composure, poise and positive attitude were steady throughout the match,” said head coach Joie Switzer. “She chose correct shots at the right time and continued to hit powerful shots, giving her the opportunities she needed to win points.” Drozdetskaia, who remains undefeated this season in both singles and doubles action, holds court for her team in the No. 1 singles spot and on the No. 1 doubles team, using her positive attitude and attention to detail to win points. For her relentless work ethic and astute practice of the nuances needed to make her the best, Key West’s Eva Drozdetskaia is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

EIGHT FOR STATE

Corrales captures regional gold as Keys grapplers secure spots in Kissimmee

Key West and Coral Shores sent their best wrestlers to Cardinal Gibbons High School in Fort Lauderdale on March 1 for the FHSAA 1A Region 4 championships. There, the Conchs and Hurricanes competed against the top talent from a pool of 34 teams.

When the final match was scored, Key West was third in the region, with Coral Shores in eighth. Key West’s impressive team placement was fueled, in part, with a first-place finisher in 175-pound Alfredo Corrales. Corrales, a senior, is the new regional champ, and will represent the Southernmost City at the FHSAA 1A State Championships at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee this week.

Corrales will not be the only athlete wearing a Conch singlet at states; three more Key West grapplers qualified with top-four finishes at regionals. Abram Canet was the regional runner-up at 132 pounds and Jake Ferguson (120) and James Searcy (150) each placed fourth for an automatic bid to the big show. Joining the gentlemen will be Maria Halushka, who placed third in the girls competition on Feb. 22.

9709 Overseas Hwy. Marathon, FL 33050 Office: 305.743.0844 www.keysweekly.com

Also making the trip will be a trio of talent from the Upper Keys. Coral Shores’ Sebastian McCoy punched his ticket by securing the regional runner-up spot at 120 pounds. Costa Tuttle at 106 pounds and David Beltran (150) each finished in the third-place spot in their weight classes, making it a total of eight athletes from the Keys competing at the highest level in prep wrestling.

Weigh-ins and round one begin Thursday, March 6, with later rounds and the semifinals on March 7. Finals are scheduled for March 8, when state medalists will be determined.

TRAIN KEEPS ROLLING FOR LADY FINS

Marathon brings home 46 runs in two games

Less than a week after opening their season with a 27-14 onslaught, Marathon’s softball team traveled to Ransom Everglades on Feb. 26 to take on the Raiders in Miami – and showed no signs of slowing down. The Lady Fins racked up seven hits against Ransom, including three from Madelyn Thornton, who homered and tripled, plus two from seventh-grader Shaina Robinson, who doubled.

Dani Perdomo and Elena Eubank each added a hit for Marathon. The Lady Fins stole a dozen bases, with Perdomo leading the pilfering with four. Thornton teamed up with Sara Robinson in the circle to strike out five Raiders. The 19-9 win put the Fins at 2-0 in early-season action with 46 runs scored in just two games.

Coral Shores found success at Pine Crest School

Coral Shores found success at Pine Crest School on Feb. 26, defeating the Panthers 25-22. According to the coaching staff, the Hurricanes had an impressive showing at the plate, with consistent hitting and solid base running. Addison Grady led the charge with four base hits. Melanie Estevez registered two singles and a double, and Presley Bagwell and Abby Vogt each added a pair of hits to the total.

The Lady ’Canes have struggled the past two seasons, but coach Lesa Bonee is confident this year’s group is headed in the right direction.

“We’re excited,” she said, adding that her group of athletes has plenty of talent.

struggled with numbers, but the 17-athlete roster

“They’re young, they’re learning the game, but they’re athletic,” she said. Last season, the team struggled with numbers, but the 17-athlete roster this season, with the majority being freshmen, gives the Hurricanes a lot to look forward to in the coming seasons.

The Lady Conchs fell to 3-2 after a loss to Schoolhouse Prep in Miami. Aaliyah Mcleod, Tavyn Gage and Vera Rodger each had a base hit for Key West in the 11-2 defeat.

DROZDETSKAIA & AGUERO

REBUFF RAIDERS Hurricanes breeze past Dolphins

Key West’s tennis teams traveled to Gulliver Prep on Feb. 25 to play against some of the best competition in South Florida. The Raiders are renowned for their prowess on the courts, with 21 state titles between their girls and boys teams in the past 30 years. The Gulliver program’s reputation is enough to shake the resolve of most athletes, but not Key West’s Eva Drozdetskaia and Gabriela Aguero, who defeated Gulliver’s No. 1 doubles team 6-2 on Gulliver’s home court.

Drozdetskaia made it two wins for the Lady Conchs by winning her No. 1 singles match 8-5 over the Raiders’ top player, an athlete ranked No. 32 in women’s tennis for the country of Chile. The Lady Conchs’ head coach Joie Switzer was very excited about her team’s wins over Gulliver, attributing much of the success to her athletes’ positive attitudes and tennis savvy.

“They (Eva and Gaby) are friends off the court and that showed with how well they communicated, had fun, covered the court and encouraged each other after every point,” she said. “They did a great job of taking control of the points with their powerful serves and groundstrokes, which allowed them to be on offense for a majority of the match.”

While Key West was busy in Miami, Monroe County’s other two teams played closer to home. Coral Shores made the quick trip Feb. 27 to take on the Fins on the courts at Marathon Community Park. The Hurricane boys defeated the Dolphins 5-2 with wins from Zach Bolano, Max Smith and Tony Khioni in singles action plus both doubles teams, consisting of Bolano and Aidan Althouse and Smith and Merrick Dunn. The Dolphins did have a pair of bright spots, first in No. 1 singles player Adrien Holdinga, and in Anthony Iarocci, who captured a win in the No. 5 singles spot.

The Lady Fins started off strong, with a win from No. 1 singles player Emily Alvear. Alvear defeated her opponent 8-4, but it would be the only win for the Fins. Coral Shores’ Chloe Koval, Emma Sogegeian, Harlee Beeler and Kameron Vetter won their singles matches. Koval teamed up with Vanessa Gabriel to win the No. 1 doubles match and Sogegeian paired with Emily Rosu to take the No. 2 doubles win to beat the Dolphins 6-1.

REGAN ROTH PUTS THE EMPLOYEE SPOTLIGHT ON

STACKING UP

Lifters adding more plates as district competition nears

Gulliver Prep and Coral Shores visited Marathon on Feb. 26 for a boys weightlifting meet with one month to go before districts. Marathon won both the traditional and Olympic events, with Coral Shores taking second place and Gulliver placing third. The Hurricanes had individual winners in Nick Brown and Tyler Bettner, who each won both events in their weight classes. Brown competes at 119 pounds while Bettner is in the 139-pound category.

Marathon had a half-dozen double winners, starting with senior Chase Leird in the 129-pound class. Damian Stasiewicz (169), Vitalii Konyk (183), Max Childress (199), Tanner Ross (229) and Braulio Garcia (238) all won both Olympic and traditional in their weight classes. Matthias Martinez-Velez won the traditional event in the 154-pound class.

Athletes continue to perfect their form and add more weight. Childress and Ross surpassed the 500-pound mark last week in the traditional event. Childress combined 250-pound lifts in the clean and jerk and bench press to hit 500. Ross benched 280 and added a 265-pound clean to make 545 pounds in total weight lifted.

HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE

Hurricanes double up on wins; Carballo nets five goals against Warriors

The home field made all the difference in lacrosse for the Hurricanes last week, as Coral Shores improved to 4-2 on the season, thanks to wins against Coral Reef and Westminster Christian.

After a resounding 14-5 win against Coral Reef on Feb. 24, the Hurricanes traveled to Fort Lauderdale’s Westminster Academy on Feb. 26, where the Lions had the upper hand, defeating Coral Shores 12-2. On Feb. 28, the Hurricanes reclaimed the homefield advantage, using it to dismantle the Warriors of Westminster Christian 15-4. Lucas Carballo scored five goals and added two assists. Reed Tudor netted four goals and one assist. Lucas Hajec and Yandel Chaguaseda had two goals apiece, with Hajec adding an assist.

Zane Martinez scored one with an assist and Noah Myers accounted for one. Nathaniel Shugarman was credited with an assist in the big win. In goal, Brock Bynum had 13 saves for the ’Canes, and coach Chris Carrow praised Jace Jackson for his outstanding faceoffs. After a

three-game week, Coral Shores will find no rest for the weary – three more games are scheduled for this week.

Key West’s boys split the week, with a 16-11 win against Coral Reef on Feb. 28, then a 13-11 loss to Westminster Christian in Miami. Key West also stands at 4-2 on the season.

Both of Monroe County’s girls teams struggled last week. Coral Shores’ girls are still in the hunt for win number one this season after a loss to Coral Reef. Key West slipped to 2-4 after losses to Archbishop McCarthy and Westminster Christian.

In the loss to McCarthy, Kaitlyn Piloto accounted for five of the Conchs’ nine goals plus a pair of assists. The Lady Conchs played four games in seven days and succumbed to fatigue.

“We were gassed and couldn’t keep up,” said Key West coach Marissa Giacopuzzi. “When we connected, beautiful things happened.”

Lucas Carballo’s five goals and two assists powered Coral Shores’ 15-4 thrashing of Westminster Christian. DOUG FINGER/Keys Weekly

HEAVY HITTERS

Hurricane offense explodes for 28 knocks in two games

Coral Shores upped their baseball wins last week after two impressive offensive onslaughts over their opponents.

On Feb. 25, the ’Canes defeated Coral Park in a 15-4 road win, racking up 15 hits against the Rams. AJ Putetti and Riley O’Berry had three hits each, with two apiece coming off the bats of Donovan Thiery and Campbell Lavoie. Lavoie earned the win pitching for the Hurricanes in three innings on the mound. Glade Harrelson and Eddie Holly teamed up to finish off the Rams in win number one of the week.

Win number two came on Feb. 28 at home against the Thoroughbreds of Hialeah. Thiery continued his spectacular season on the mound, striking out 12, walking none and giving up a single hit in four innings. Four frames was all the Hurricanes would need before the mercy rule applied, ending the game at 15-0. Thiery was 4-4 at the plate with a single, a pair of doubles and a triple, with five RBIs. Maykol Bonito added three hits and Putetti notched two of the 13-hit total for Coral Shores.

Marathon went 2-1 last week, evening out their record to 4-4. The Fins started off strong at Ransom Everglades on Feb. 25, beating the rival Raiders 6-5 in a late-game rally. A Gavin Leal home run scored two in inning six, and a three-run push in the seventh iced the win. The Fins registered seven hits, including two each from Dylan Williams and Jack Chapman, and were error-free in the field. Williams got the start against Ransom, striking out five in two innings; Mason Thornton earned the win, striking out six in the final five frames.

Two nights later, NSU University School paid a visit to the Keys, stopping in Marathon before going to Key West for a pair of games. Against Marathon, the Sharks had a no-hitter and were a single error from a perfect game in their 9-0 win against the Dolphins.

Marathon quickly recovered with a Feb. 28 win over Miami Country Day. The Fins beat the Spartans 25-6 in Miami, amassing 19 hits, four walks and seven hit batters. Roco Piscetello, Bryan Broche, Jack Chapman, Jack Dunn, Jason Stubblefield and Gavin Leal had two hits apiece in the Fins’ romp. Piscetello was 3-3 at the plate and accounted for two of the Fins’ seven stolen bases. Four Dolphins saw time on the mound, collectively striking out nine batters, walking eight and surrendering six hits. Chapman started for the Fins, earning the win. Broche, Curren Nicolay and Shane Dieguez pitched in for the road win.

Key West handed NSU University School its first loss of the season on Feb. 28 after taking advantage of a pair of Shark errors in inning two. The Conchs capitalized on the NSU miscues, adding three hits and a pair of walks to score four in the second frame. A back-and-forth game kept Key West fans on the edge of their seats, but the Conchs would not need their final at-bat to put a blemish on the Sharks’ record.

Nelson Ong’s three hits and two RBIs were clutch in the 6-4 victory. Freshman Kade Maltz added a pair of hits to the team total of nine. Vinnie Moline pitched the first three and two-thirds innings, striking out six batters, walking four and surrendering five hits. Jon Carlos LampasGormley came in to close it out for the Conchs.

The following night, the Sharks cleaned up their defense, and their error-free play helped contribute to a different outcome. University School strung together a trio of pitchers to put a damper on the Conchs’ batting, walking four and giving up just two hits the entire game. Sam Holland’s double and Kaine Dickerson’s single were not enough to get the Conchs on the board in the 5-0 loss, which put Key West at 4-2 on the season.

THROWING THE DISTANCE

Conch boys dominate tosses at Panther Relays

Key West’s track and field team made the trip to Fort Lauderdale on March 1 for the 19th annual Pine Crest Panther Relays, where athletes were able to show off their skills in their usual events as well as some relays not held during regular meets.

The boys showed their strength with impressive results in the field events, particularly in throwing. Shane Lavallee was the lone Conch to bring home an overall win for Key West. His 157’6” toss was the best of 32 competitors. Teammates Anthony Jenner and Jeremiah Harvey finished second and third, with all three athletes’ best distances separated by just over four feet – a foot closer than the nearest competitor from another school could manage.

Also proving their prowess in the throwing events were Josh Johnson and Noah Mercer, who finished second in the shot put and discus events, respectively. The Conchs had a good showing in the jumping events, too; Jeff Dejean had third-place finishes in long and triple jump while Malachi Telisma was third in high jump.

The Lady Conchs’ best finish was also in a field event. Ariel Newton was second in the pole vault. On the track, Violet Jangraw, Emerson Jackson, Naima Thomas and Caylaa Makimaa went the distance, running a mile each to capture third place in the 4x1600 meter relay. Alyssandra Camargo, Lilia Mook, Jordan Greene and Newton did the same in the 4x200.

This week, the Conchs competed against their nearest neighbors in a meet at Coral Shores on March 4, which included Marathon as well as Barbara Goleman High. Results were not available at press time.
