Dylan was electric from the very first pitch. Positive emotions were flowing all around Dolphin Country after a great signing ceremony to start

off the night.”

– Joey Gonzalez, Marathon head coach

Marathon’s Dylan Ziels is well known as a lights-out pitcher with maturity and composure to boot. But on Feb. 23, Ziels was downright extraordinary. The big righty inked his letter of intent to play collegiate baseball at Palm Beach State that afternoon, but his heart and soul were with his hometown high school team and his full focus was on winning. He dialed in everything he had and went 3-3 at the plate as he pitched a no-hit shutout, making his four-inning run perfect for the Fins. Coach Joey Gonzalez described his ace as “locked in and laser-focused,” adding, “his fastball was in the 88-90 range and he got stronger as the night progressed. It was a special evening capped off by a shutout, no-hit, 12-strikeout performance.” For his Herculean performance and on-field leadership, Dylan Ziels is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

CONCH BOYS LACROSSE STARTS UNDEFEATED

Key West outscores opponents 49-19 in first four games of the season

Key West’s boys lacrosse team is on fire in the early season, winning four straight games. The undefeated Conchs played two last week, including one against their closest neighbor. On Feb. 21, the Hurricanes of Coral Shores traveled to Key West to take on the Conchs in The Backyard.

The game would be significantly different than the teams’ last matchup, with Key West defeating the ’Canes 19-3. Zack Payne, Mack Hill and Smith Switzer netted 4 goals apiece for Key West. Hill was also credited with a pair of assists while Switzer caused 3 turnovers. Reif Wallen scored 2, as did Noah Collins, who also assisted on another goal. Dreyden Telfer and Max Louchheim had 1 goal and 1 assist each. Joseph Garr scored a goal and Roman Van Loon and Raffael Rice each assisted one time. Kieran Smith led the team in ground balls with 6 while Louchheim scooped up 5. In goal, Mateo Lopez was credited with 9 saves.

On Feb. 24, it was another onslaught of scoring for Key West. Payne scored 3 and assisted 3 more to lead the charge for the Conchs. Hill scored 2 and assisted on 4 others while Collins scored 2 and assisted on 3. Wallen had a pair of each and Louchheim had 1 goal and 1 assist. Switzer added 1 more goal to his stats in the home win. The next home game for Key West’s unbeaten boys will be March 2 against Westminster.

Coral Shores’ boys stand at 1-3 this season after dropping a pair of games last week. On Feb. 19, they took on Coral Reef in a close game which culminated in a 7-6 loss in overtime. Yandel Chaguaseda picked up 7 ground balls to help keep it close, while Noah Myers, James Mitchell and Chase Caputo registered 4 ground balls each. Caputo also stole away the ball twice in the game. Brock Bynum saved 11 shots in goal to keep the ’Canes within striking distance throughout the game.

Key West accounted for the ’Canes’ second loss. Junior Lucas Carballo scored all 3 goals for the ’Canes and was credited with a pair of takeaways, as well. Chaguaseda picked up 8 ground balls for Coral Shores while Bynum saved 19 in goal. The Hurricanes likely would be sitting on win number two, but a game against Westminster Christian was postponed. The ’Canes are back at home on Friday, March 1 against Ransom Everglades.

The Lady Conchs picked up their first win of the season against the Paladins of South Plantation. Key West outscored South Plantation 9-7 in the win. Junior Deanna Mercier scored 3 goals and scooped up 4 ground balls while fellow junior Kaitlyn Piloto scored 3 with a pair of assists. Senior captain Ava Brock netted 1, assisted on 4 and earned 3 ground balls for the Conchs. Colbie Turner and Taylor Gibson, both sophomores, found the net one time each to round out the scoring.

“Our offense was patient and diligent, waiting for the perfect opportunity to score, while the defense did an excellent job collapsing on the ball to shut down South Plantation’s drive to the cage,” said assistant coach Kristen Baumer. She went on to praise junior captain Courtney Grabus for locking down the Paladins on defense with multiple interceptions.

The defending district champs are actively rebuilding, but head coach Marisa Giacopuzzi is not concerned, saying, “We have a small roster with a lot of new talent still learning the game. It will take us a few games to work out the kinks and find our groove, but we’re getting there.”

The young team is home again Friday, March 1 against in-county rivals Coral Shores in a district matchup in The Backyard at 5 p.m.

The Lady ’Canes evened up their record to 1-1 after a 9-8 win against Coral Reef High School on Feb. 21. Shay Stober scored 3 goals while Leyla Ochoa had 2 plus 3 assists. Iona Holmquist also netted a pair of goals and Allegra Fucaraccio and Addison McNew accounted for the other 2 of the ’Canes’ 9. Makayla Hahn was fantastic in the field with 5 ground balls and 2 interceptions, while Sidney Friedman kept Coral Shores in the game, saving 12 would-be goals as keeper.

MARATHON’S GARCIA TOSSES NO-HITTER

Marathon’s roster is finally full of high school athletes, and the hard work the team, which is still young by most standards, put in as a middle school crew is paying off.

The Fins are 2-0 to start the season after a pair of wins last week.

Marathon headed to Homestead to take on Colonial Christian on Feb. 20, pounding the Patriots in a 17-0 win. Senior Allison Garcia needed only 3 innings on the mound to end the game in a mercy-rule victory.

Garcia struck out 7 and walked just 2 in a nohitter to start her senior campaign in style. Garcia also registered a base hit in the game. Catcher Madelyn Thornton was 3-3 at the plate with a double, 2 singles and 3 RBIs. Sara Robinson and Shynell McGuire had a double and single each while Elena Eubank and Allison Helms each hit a double. Ryleigh Garcia and Maeve Merryman both singled to account for the remainder of Marathon’s hits.

Two days later, Marathon faced LaSalle at home. The Fins won 8-2 against the Royal Lions, racking up 9 hits with 2 from Robinson. Robinson was elusive on the bases, stealing 4 in the game. Eubank, Helms, Thornton, McGuire, both Garcias and Summer Haines all had singles. Allison Garcia went 6 innings on the mound, then handed the ball to her sister Ryleigh, who finished out the game for Marathon. The Lady Fins will return home for a Friday, March 1 game against Ransom Everglades.

Lady Fins last undefeated Keys softball team

With little time to regroup, Key West made some adjustments and made it onto the scoreboard in game two, but the 9-1 loss was not the result they were hoping for. Brenner lasted 7 innings for the Conchs, striking out 5, walking 4 and allowing 9 hits. The Warriors held Key West to 2 hits – a single from Niles and a double from Rodger.

The Lady Conchs started the season with an unusual pair of losses in double-header action Feb. 23 at home. Westminster Christian stunned the reigning regional champs 14-0 in game number one. Vera Rodger singled and doubled while Scarlet Niles and Shylo Sanchez added a base hit each for Key West. Nevaeh Arnold lasted just over 3 innings and Brianna Brenner finished out the game, both fanning 4 batters in the loss.

On Feb. 24, the Lady Conchs found their groove against visiting Keys Gate, winning 3-0 against the Knights. Brenner pitched 7 innings, striking out 8 with no walks and giving up a pair of hits in Key West’s first win of the season. Julene Vega had a pair of base hits in the game. Rodger added another single to her stats, as did Skye Sterling and Alexa Condella. Next up for the Conchs is Mater Lakes Academy at home on Saturday, March 2. Coral Shores started its season with a pair of losses last week, but head coach Lesa Bonee is not deterred. The team is without an upperclassman and is working on the fundamentals in a rebuilding year. The Lady ’Canes lost 19-1 against Somerset South Homestead on Feb. 20, then suffered a 20-5 setback against Colonial Christian two days later. The Hurricanes will have an opportunity at redemption in their next game when they have a rematch against Colonial Christian, this time on home turf, Thursday, March 7 at 4 p.m.

FINS LIFTERS EDGE ’CANES

Marathon boys secure wins by narrow margin

With just about a month to go before district competition, Marathon traveled to Coral Shores for a boys weightlifting meet to see how both teams have improved since their last meetup one week earlier. In Olympic lifts, the Fins won by a single point, edging out the ’Canes 34-33. In traditional, Marathon pulled away with a 38-29 win. The low scores were due to neither team fielding a 129-lb. or unlimited competitor for either event.

At 119 pounds, Marathon’s Chase Leird won both events. Jordan Henderson and Matthias Martinez-Velez split the wins at 139, with Henderson winning Olympic and Martinez-Velez taking first in the traditional event. Marathon’s Damian Staciewicz (154) won both events as did fellow Dolphins Max Childress (183), Tanner Ross (199) and Braulio Garcia (238). Coral Shores had double wins from Keryn Barrios (169) and AJ Johnson. Using the Sinclair algorithm to rank the athletes by their performances in each event and factoring in their body weight, Johnson was the top lifter in the Olympic event while Ross was number one in traditional. Johnson, Ross and Childress were all ranked in the top three of both styles of lifting, giving them a good idea of where they stand as the district meets, which begin March 29, inch closer.

Junior Chase Leird notched wins in both traditional and Olympic lifts for the 119-lb. weight class last week. BARRY GAUKEL/Keys Weekly

ZIELS PERFECT AGAINST SPARTANS

Conchs remain undefeated in early season schedule

Key West hosted North Fort Myers in its season opener, defeating the 5A Red Knights 5-0 on Feb. 23 and 7-2 the following night. In game one of the two-game series, Jacob Burnham got the start on the mound, lasting 4 innings. Burnham struck out 8, walked 2 and allowed a pair of hits before Anthony Lariz took over. Lariz finished out the final 3 innings, striking out 5 with no hits and no walks. Lariz had a hit as well, singling for one of the Conchs’ 5 hits on the night. Roman Garcia, Noah Burnham, Sam Holland and Nelson Ong had the remaining 4.

The next night, Key West chalked up 6 hits, with 2 each from Garcia and Jacob Burnham. Burnham’s hits included a double and a triple. Lariz and Nelson Ong both singled. The Conchs were perfect on defense without a single error over the course of 7 innings. Felix Ong got the start on the mound and dominated for 3-1/3 innings, striking out 6 of the dozen batters he faced, walking 2 and allowing no hits. Christian Koppal and Vinny Moline teamed up to finish out the game, which put the Conchs at a solid 2-0 start on the season as they head into a rare road game.

A clash against NSU University School on Feb. 27 should serve as a litmus test for the Conchs this year. They will be back at Rex Weech Friday and Saturday, March 1-2 against Boca Raton’s Spanish River High School.

Marathon started the regular season the right way by winning its first two games, beginning with Everglades Prep on Feb. 20. Gavin Leal and Mason Thornton teamed up on the mound for a 20-0 no-hitter against the Panthers, walking 3 and striking out 7 between them. Thornton also registered a pair of hits and 2 RBIs to lead the Fins at bat. Leal also had a base hit, as did Bryan Broche, Dylan Ziels and Dylan Williams. Gabe Leal tripled and Jack Chapman doubled in the lopsided victory.

It was more of the same for Marathon on Feb. 23 against Miami Country Day. The Fins won in 3-1/3 innings in a 15-0 mercy rule victory against the Spartans. Ziels, Marathon’s go-to pitcher, was perfect over 4 innings for the Fins. The senior righty faced 14 batters, fanning 12 of them with no walks, no hits, no errors and no question that he is ready to make his senior campaign count. Ziels was also 3-3 at the plate with a pair of singles and a double. Broche, Gabe Leal and Leo Mendez each singled in the Fins’ win.

Their Feb. 24 game did not have the result the Fins were searching for, though. The night started off in the right direction, with visiting Keys Gate and Marathon locked up in a defensive battle. In inning 4, Keys Gate’s bats came alive, and a trio of hits put the Knights on the scoreboard first. Marathon promptly took advantage of

FOUR CONCHS HEADED FOR STATES

Ia 5-walk inning, which included a hit and a dropped third strike, to pull ahead 5-1, holding onto the lead until inning 6 when things began to fall apart. Mason Thornton started on the mound, striking out 5 over his 4 innings. Thornton also added a single and a double in a solid effort both offensively and defensively. Gabe Leal, Dylan Williams and Jack Chapman all had base hits in the 15-8 loss. The Fins’ next home game is scheduled for Friday, March 1 against Ransom Everglades.

The Hurricanes split the week, with a loss on Feb. 20 to ABF Homestead. Junior Campbell Lavioe was 3-3 at the plate and Donovan Thiery, AJ Putetti, Keller Blackburn and Benjamin Friedman had one hit each in the 8-3 loss. Two nights later, the ’Canes turned things around against Keys Gate, defeating last year’s district champs 10-1. Thiery dominated the Knights, striking out 11 over 5 innings, allowing just 2 hits and walking 1 batter. Riley O’Berry held things down for the final 2 innings to secure the win. Lavoie racked up another hit, this time a double. O’Berry had a single and Grady Temkin added a pair of base hits in Coral Shores’ first win of the season.

t will be a quick turnaround for a talented trio of Conch wrestlers and their coaching staff, as three athletes placed in the top four at the FHSAA 1A Region 4 Championships at Cardinal Gibbons High School on Feb. 24. The grappling Conchs will join Sheyla Figueira, who qualified for a spot at states last week at the girls regional event, on a trip to Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee for the state championships this week.

Abram Canet placed fourth in the 132-lb. class, earning a spot in the state brackets. He will join Dostmukhammad Bakhtiyorov, who also claimed fourth place at 144 pounds, and Ralph Riche, who was the runner-up at 285. The Conchs placed fifth overall in a pool of 26 teams spanning from the Southernmost City to Clewiston. The state championships begin on Thursday, Feb. 29 with weigh-ins and the first round of action, culminating on Mar. 3 with finals.

CONCHS TAKE THIRD AT CALVARY INVITE

Conchs and ’Canes look strong at season start

Key West’s track team made the trip to Calvary Christian High School to participate in a invitational open to a dozen of South Florida’s best teams on Feb. 23. The Conchs won third place in both the boys and girls competitions, with several individual winners already showing prowess.

Cross country champ Caylaa Makimaa showed her speed on the track, winning the 3200 in 12:01, more than a minute in front of her closest competitor, and claiming second place in the 800. Grace Andrew cleared the 110 hurdles in 18.54 seconds for a first-place finish in the event. She went on to claim third place in the 400 hurdles and eighth in javelin.

Key West showed its typical prowess in the pole vault. Anabel Portuondo (second), Kaylee Matas Cabezuelo (third), Riley Richard (fourth) and Ariel Newton (seventh) all claimed top-10 spots. On the track, Naima Thomas was eighth in the 1600 and ninth in the 800 event, while Laira Anaya (fifth) and Ava Gonzalez (sixth) won points in the distance events. Other notable Lady Conch performers in field events were Abigail Cowan, who was second in long jump and fourth in triple jump. Audrey Smith was seventh in both discus and javelin.

The boys team also fielded a pair of winners at the event. Suharevskis Niks-Davis vaulted 14’ 3.25”, matching his previous personal best in his quest to beat the school record and upgrade his silver medal from states last season. Peyton Zubieta was the first-place winner in javelin with a 169’ 3” toss. The Conchs fared well in that event, claiming four of the top 10 spots with Te’Von Watson (second), Jeremiah Harvey (fourth) and Anthony Jenner (seventh). Jenner also claimed eighth place in shot put while Jean Louis edged him out by two spots for sixth in the event. Louis claimed a fourth place spot in discus and Noah Mercer was sixth to round out the throwing events.

The jumpers looked strong with Bronson Etienne (fourth) and Malachi Telisma (fifth) clearing the bar in the high jump. Jeff DeJean took a pair of fourth-place finishes in long and triple jump. Clerff Alexandre came in third in triple jump and eighth in long jump. Teammate Shane LaVallee was sixth in the 100 and took seventh in the 200. Jeremiah Harvey was third in the 110 high hurdles.

Distance runners Andrew Fedor, Colbin Hill and Daniel Roy proved they haven’t lost their mojo from cross country season. Fedor was fifth in both the 1600 and 3200 while Hill (fourth) and Roy (eighth) finished the 3200 in the top 10. Key West will return home on Tuesday, March 12 to host Marathon and Coral Shores in a Monroe County tri-meet.

Coral Shores traveled to Miami on Feb. 23 to start their track and field season at the Spartan Invitational against more than 20 schools. Despite competing against a slew of larger schools and private school teams, the 2A Hurricanes had two athletes finish in the top 20. Alaric Rodriguez ran the 1600 in 4:54 for 14th place, and Xavier Johnson secured 11th place in the 110 hurdles, clearing them in 18.41s. On March 7, the ’Canes will host Marathon in Tavernier for the Fins’ first competition of the season.
