A team does not go on a lengthy win streak by accident; it takes hustle, hard work and, above all, an element of leadership to keep the team going in the right direction. Key West’s Kieran Smith is just that element. Coach Nic Farrar describes his center back as “one of the pillars of the defensive line that has been integral in our win streak with his ball-winning skills and heading ability.” Smith is an integral part of Key West’s defensive unit who also has two assists this season, a testament to his strong clearing skills. For his willingness to give his all on the field, Kieran Smith is the

SEVEN’S A STREAK Key West soccer mows down opponents with districts next week

JANUARY 18, 2024 / KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP
A
fter a disappointing start which did not see a win for the team until Dec. 11, Key West’s boys have caught fire. Since then, the team has set up shop in the W column, including a trio of victories last week to make it a seven-game streak. On Jan. 9, they headed to St. Thomas Aquinas to play the larger 6A Raiders in Fort Lauderdale. Key West managed to topple the fifth-ranked team in 6A with a Wyatt Gibson header in the first half assisted by Sebastian Camargo. Nico Sulak put in the insurance goal with an assist by Loubins Fleuridor, and Sebastian Cruz locked things down in goal to preserve the win. Coach Nic Farrar credited defender Finn McKnight with making several clutch saves and Bruno Barrios with a goal-line clearance to secure the shutout. The victory was number five for the Conchs, with number six coming on Jan. 11 against Somerset Silver Palms in The Backyard. Key West sent the Stallions home after beating them 4-2 with just two days to prepare for their final regular-season home game that weekend. The next victim was Bolles, who traveled all the way from Jacksonville to play the Conchs. The Bolles Bulldogs are a perennial powerhouse on the pitch, and they did not lie down to hand Key West their seventh straight victory on senior night. “Both teams started brightly, and it was Key West that took the lead midway through the first half after good work from Loubins Fleuridor,” said Farrar. “(He) won the ball in the midfield and drove at the heart of the Bolles defense and calmly finished to give the Conchs the lead.” Key West held on to the lead through halftime, when the Conchs’ tempo as well as the weather changed and, according to Farrar, wind became a factor. Freshman Sonny Bowden found the back of the net for his first varsity goal in

just his second start this season. Bolles answered back not long after Bowden’s goal, cutting the lead to 2-1. Soon after, Camargo took advantage of a Bolles goalkeeper miscue and was able to score in the unsecured goal from 25 yards out. Late into the second half, Bolles scored again, narrowing Key West’s lead to just one for the second time, and both teams battled for the final moments of play. Farrar credited McKnight with an early second-half penalty save as well as “easing the pressure with several key highball claims to secure the Conchs’ 3-2 victory.” The rest of Key West’s matches will be on the road this regular season, but they are as close to home as the Conchs get; they play Marathon and Coral Shores before focusing on districts. Key West’s girls headed to Marathon on Jan. 11 for a rainy, yet decisive, win. The Conchs dominated the Fins 6-0 with help from a hat trick by Kaitlyn Franco. Grace Andrew, Jazzy Dieguez and Maicee Gage added one goal each in the district match. Coming off of their in-county win, the Conchs played at home in The Backyard against Gulliver Prep, losing 1-0. Both teams could meet again later this month in playoff action, giving the Conchs a chance at redemption against the Raiders. Key West will play two on the road this week before returning home to play their final regular-season match of the season against Lemon Bay on Jan. 20. Marathon’s boys suffered a mercy-rule 8-0 loss at the hands of Florida Christian Jan. 9 and returned home to regroup. Neighboring rival Coral Shores would feel the full extent of their frustration on Jan. 12 when the Fins stormed the field and stole away a win on the Hurricanes’ senior night. Mikail “Jay” Marshall struck first before the ’Canes put two into the net to take the lead. Marshall scored two more for a hat trick and Oscar Cardona had one goal in the Fins’ big win. continued on the next page

“Marathon played their best game to date,” said coach Shannon Wiley, praising his defense for not giving up when they were down. “Defender Sebastian Stasiewicz and goalkeeper Tiago Rivero had numerous huge saves in the box,” he added, calling their efforts “nothing short of incredible.” The Lady Fins of Marathon played three matches last week, beginning with a Jan. 9 road loss to Florida Christian. Mackenzie Budi scored the lone Fin goal on a Jordan MacDonald assist in the 2-1 loss, which looked more like a rugby match than soccer. “The other team had seven yellow cards and a blue one,” head coach Cathy Warner said, adding that she was proud of her team for holding their composure and showing some grit after some pushing and shoving went unchecked and a goal was reversed in a questionable offsides call. After the Jan. 11 loss to Key West, the Lady Fins hit the road for a trip up to Coral Shores and a second chance to play their closest neighbor – and their coach’s old stomping grounds. The Fins showed marked improvement from their 5-1 loss earlier in the season. Both teams battled for 80 minutes, resulting in a 3-3 tie. Budi, Rain Banks and Sara Strama each scored one for the Fins, with MacDonald assisting on two of Marathon’s goals. Though the ’Canes were without starters Jenna Mandozzi and Sophia Jans for their senior night, Kai Redruello found the net twice and Mya Champigny scored on a penalty kick to keep Coral Shores in the game. Warner, who is in her first year coaching for the Fins after formerly coaching the Hurricanes, was delighted with the outcome, saying the game “will leave the girls hungry and give them that drive to push even harder for the win when we play (Coral Shores) in districts.” The ’Canes and Fins will most likely match up for the first round of the FHSAA District 16 3A quarterfinals later this month. “Our girls have come a long way this season,” Warner said, “and everything we are working for is coming to fruition.” Coral Shores’ boys started the week off with a loss to Somerset South Homestead on Jan. 9. Following the 3-2 district loss, the ’Canes tied Ransom the following night 2-2. They ended their week with the 4-3 loss to Marathon. Districts for boys and girls soccer begin Jan. 24 and run through Feb. 1.

CORAL SHORES GIRLS IMPROVE TO 9-1 Lady ‘Canes cruise to blowout senior night win
O
n Jan. 11, the Lady ’Canes picked up a win against Key West via forfeit, giving them just one opportunity to play last week. They made the most of it, defeating Keys Gate on Jan. 12 and giving the Hurricanes a massive district win on senior night. Senior captains Makayla Hahn and Brooke Mandozzi did not disappoint; Mandozzi had the hot hand, scoring 14, and Hahn led the team in steals with 5 in abbreviated minutes of play. The starters turned the court over to the underclassmen early in the lopsided victory. Ten ’Canes in total logged points, with several athletes reaching exciting career milestones in the 53-19 win. Junior Gabby Thomas recorded her first double-double with 10 points and rebounds. Alex Burson had a career-high 10 points and freshman Caylee DePauw went 3-3 and scored 6. Abby Vogt had 10 assists. The 9-1 Lady ’Canes have a three-game road streak before returning home Jan. 23 to play LaSalle. Coral Shores’ boys split the week, starting with a Jan. 8 road loss at Keys Gate. The ’Canes lost 46-42 against the Knights. On Jan. 11 they hosted MAST Academy. Despite getting off to a slow start and trailing 27-23 at the half, the ’Canes put it into overdrive after halftime and rallied for the win. AJ Putetti had the hot hand with 18 points. Donovan Thiery scored 15 with 7 assists and 6 steals. Isaac Rivera added 13 with 4 rebounds. Keegan Fish scored 6, Ayden Lane had 5 and Corey Dickerson added 4 to his stats. The ‘Canes end their regular season with a three-game road series before heading into the postseason. Key West played the Somerset Academy Panthers in Pembroke Pines on Jan. 10. The 4A Conchs played with heart but the 5A Panthers are ranked sixth in their class for a reason. DeMarcus Deroche earned another doubledouble, scoring 12 points and grabbing 17 rebounds. James Osborne scored 12, Josue Thanus scored 9 and Kameron Roberts scored 8 in the 88-56 loss. On Jan. 13 the Conchs suffered another loss, this time at home against Westminster Christian. Roberts was the high scorer for Key West with 20 points and Osborne added ten in the 70-46 loss. A third game scheduled to be played against Coral Shores was postponed with details not yet available. The Lady Conchs are still searching for win number one this season after a series of losses last week. On Jan. 11 Key Left: The Key West Lady Conchs take on Ransom Everglades and Archbishop McCarthy.

West was slated to host Coral Shores, but forfeited the game. The following night, Ransom made the trip to Bobby Menendez Gymnasium, defeating the Lady Conchs 42-26. On Jan. 13, the young team fell to Archbishop McCarthy 56-36. Despite a slow start to their season, Key West has several winnable games on its schedule and could finish the
season on a high note. Marathon’s boys suffered a pair of losses last week as well. On Jan. 9, the Fins hosted Palmer Trinity and gave the Falcons a run for their money, narrowly losing 59-56. A trio of seniors led the charge in scoring, with Yaniel Garcia and Xavier Grant scoring 17 each and Adrian Cruz adding 15. The following night, Marathon made the trip to Keys Gate, losing 68-41. Grant scored 9, with 7 points coming from Cruz plus 6 each from Garcia, Andrew Suarez and Daeshawn Holmes in the district matchup. The Lady Fins made short work of Keys Gate in a 54-9 road win Jan. 10. Elena Eubank scored 17 with 13 points from Marti Kilbourne, 11 from Payton Junker and 9 from Daysi Williams. The score became so lopsided that head coach Andra Garvey sent in his reserves. At a small school like Marathon, that meant playing time for multiple sixth-graders, who may not have scored any points but held their own. On Jan. 13, Ransom came to Marathon and gave the Fins a tougher time. Williams put up 11 points and Eubank scored 9 in the 67-24 loss. Daysi Williams, left. BARRY GAUKEL/Keys Weekly Abby Vogt, right.

n Jan. 10, the Coral Shores Lady ’Canes made the trip to Marathon for both teams’ final regular-season meet. The Dolphins bested the ’Canes in both events, 57-31 in traditional lifting and 56-32 in Olympic. Coral Shores had three double winners, lifting the most in both events. Rachel Rusch won the 110 lb. class, Grace Patterson was a dual winner at 169 and Vanessa Gabriel won both events in the unlimited category. At 183 lbs., Karla Guitierrez picked up a win in the traditional event. Marathon posted double wins in the 101 lb. class with Ella Dunn, 119 with Sierra Earnhardt, 129 with Mikkel Ross, 139 with Cami Wrinn, 154 with Marquisha Abraham and 199 with Sabrina Schofield. Justice Lee won the Olympic lift event in the 183 lb. class. Ross was back on top, yielding the highest Sinclair score in both events. The Sinclair score uses a mathematical equation to determine who, pound for pound, was the highest performer. The next time the teams meet, it will be at districts held on Jan. 27 at Doctors Charter School at 10 a.m. Key West will travel to Lake Worth’s Dr. Joaquin Garcia High School on Jan. 25 for their first round of postseason lifts. With the numbers Keys’ lifters have been putting up this season, there is no doubt many athletes will move on to regionals on Feb. 3. The state meet will be held in Lakeland Feb. 16-17.

CFK TUGAS SQUARE OFF WITH TRUMAN STATE Swimmers record personal record times in only home meet
T
he College of the Florida Keys welcomed swimmers from Truman State University for a meet on Jan. 8 at the college’s aquatic center on the Key West campus. Three swimmers from CFK men’s and women’s swim teams competed with 26 swimmers from the Missouri-based school who were visiting the Keys to train in the warm weather. While the TSU Bulldogs bested the CFK Tugas in numbers, the home team gave a strong performance in their only home meet of the season. Notably, Isabella Oliverio achieved personal best times in the 50 yard backstroke and 50 yard freestyle for the women's team. Kaemon Fagley achieved personal best times in the 50 yard butterfly and 50 yard freestyle while Eddie Kertis achieved personal best times in the 50 yard breaststroke and 50 yard freestyle for the men's team. Fagley and Kertis also qualified to compete in three events at the National Junior College Athletic Association Swimming and Diving Championship in March. “The pool was filled with energy,” said coach and CFK Athletics Director Lori Bosco. “Our team benefited from the additional competition and the visiting teams appreciated being able to swim outdoors in January. All the swimmers had a great time.” The Tugas will next compete at the 2024 TYR SoFLo Open Swim Meet, on Jan. 19, 20 and 21 in Pembroke Pines. — Contributed
