She holds high expectations of herself and continues to work towards meeting those expectations.” – Justin Martin, Key West athletic director
GOLD at Lady Bear and Lady Indian invitationals
Key West’s Natalie Arguello is dominating in what is both her and her school’s second season of varsity girls wrestling.The 2023 regional qualifier is quickly proving she has what it takes to make it to the next round this year and is putting in the work to earn a spot in the FHSAA state brackets. Arguello won her weight class in the last two meets she attended, bringing home gold at the Lady Bear Invitational Jan. 6 and the Lady Indian Invitational in Immokalee Jan. 20. Key West head coach Chaz Jimenez has been impressed with her dedication this season, and Conchs athletic director Justin Martin agreed. “She’s constantly working on her craft and has really pushed herself to reach her full potential,” Martin said. For her unwavering commitment to her sport and internal drive to be her absolute best, Key West’s Natalie Arguello is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

CONCHS MAKE A STATEMENT ON THE PITCH Boys set net ablaze; girls take out top seed for shot at district title
K
ey West’s boys picked up win number nine on Jan. 24 when they hosted South Miami in the FHSAA District 16 4A quarterfinals match in The Backyard. The Conchs sent the Cobras home early in a 9-1 mercy rule victory to secure a spot in the semifinals. Wyatt Gibson scored a hat trick and Damir Karimov, Niko Sulak, Jose Sene Reyes, Owen Linley, Emmanuel Innocent and Kieran Smith scored 1 apiece in the resounding win. On Jan. 26, the No. 3-seeded Conchs headed to Gulliver to take on the second-seeded Makos of MAST Academy on neutral ground. Key West lost the semifinal match 4-0, but their late-season run and difficult schedule may give them a coveted at-large spot to regionals. The Lady Conchs advanced directly to the semifinals due to a small district pool. Fourth-ranked Key West took their talents on the road, taking down top-seeded MAST Academy in a shootout victory. Goalkeeper Teagan Lavin and the Conchs’ defense managed to keep the Makos off the scoreboard in regulation play. Unlike the regular season, playoffs require a winner, sending the teams into penalty kicks in a shootout dominated by Key West. Grace Andrew, Kaitlyn Franco, Molly McKnight and Maddie Kilduff found the net with their shots, and some spectacular saves by Lavin spelled victory for the Conchs, who played for the FHSAA District 16 4A title against second-seeded St. Brendan on Jan. 31 (results not available at press time). Marathon’s boys pulled off an upset of their own on Jan. 29, defeating higher-seeded Somerset South Homestead in a 4-3 road win. Oscar Cardona struck first, followed by Jay Marshall and Giordani Prieto with a nice header. Stuart Godoy scored the go-ahead goal from a ricochet off the upright with just about a minute remaining in regula-

2 1 tion play, sealing the quarterfinal win for the Fins. Tiago Rivero and Aiden Judd combined in goal for what head coach Shannon Wiley described as “countless saves,” giving the keeper duo praise for their “stellar teamwork.” Next up for Marathon’s boys was a Jan. 29 semifinal match against the number one seed in District 16 3A, Palmer Trinity. Though the Fins put forth a valiant effort, they fell to the Falcons 4-0. The Lady Fins hoped to pull off an upset at Coral Shores, a team they had improved against recently. In their last matchup, the teams tied, making their third game this season something both teams felt was winnable. On Jan. 25 in the FHSAA District 16 3A quarterfinals, Coral Shores would be the victor, effectively ending Marathon’s season at 2-10-2, but not before the Fins gave the ’Canes some cause for worry. The match came down to the final whistle in a 3-2 victory for Coral Shores. Lady Fin midfielder Jordan MacDonald scored one of Marathon’s goals off of a penalty kick and Mackenzie Budi redirected a corner kick for the Fins’ two scores. Scoring for Coral Shores were Kai Redruello, Izzy Malloggi and Ali Beth Wilson. The Lady ’Canes earned a spot in the semifinals with their win over Marathon. They hit the road on Jan. 26 to play at Palmer Trinity against the perennial powerhouse Falcons, who ended the seasons of both Marathon and Coral Shores last year. Palmer defeated Coral Shores 8-1 in the semifinal match, with Grace Goodwin spoiling a Falcon shutout with a nice goal off of a Jenna Mandozzi corner kick. The loss ended Coral Shores’ chance to move on, and they completed their season with a 3-10-1 record. Coral Shores’ boys played Somerset Silver Palms in their quarterfinal match Jan. 25. The ’Canes lost the match 3-1. Junior Preston Carroll scored the lone goal for the Hurricanes, whose season came to a close with the loss. The ’Canes ended with a record of 2-8-3. 1.The Conchs put on an offensive master class against the South Miami Cobras, notching a 9-1 mercy rule victory on Jan. 24.

LADY FINS CLAIM DISTRICT TITLE Keys weightlifters bring home 11 district championship gold medals

A
fter a long season of competition, Keys lifters headed to district meets last week in hopes of bringing home the gold. As a relatively new sport, scoring and moving on in competitive weightlifting can be confusing. Marathon coach Jessie Schubert clarified exactly what to expect in the postseason. “There are four districts that compete to go to regionals. The top eight lifters in each weight class, with a maximum of two per team per weight class, compete at districts,” he said. “Regional competitions take the top 20 from districts. So, to advance to regionals, an athlete must be in the top 20 of those 32.” The only athlete to move on automatically, both from districts to regionals and regionals to the state meet, is the first-place winner in each weight class. Because of this, there are 19 at-large bids in each weight class, but according to Schubert, “it’s almost a given that anyone placing second or third at district and regional competitions will move on.” Key West was first to attend its district meet, participating in the FHSAA District 16 2A championships on Jan. 25 at Dr. Joaquin Garcia High School in Lake Worth. The Conchs took third place in Olympic lifts as a team and fifth in traditional out of seven teams. Claire Boysen was Key West’s biggest winner, securing the district runner-up medal in both lifting events. Dazmine Jenkins (154 lbs.) and Youma Midy (unlimited) took second-place medals in Olympic lifts with Jenkins coming in fourth and Midy winning third in traditional lifting. Shylo Sanchez (139 lbs.) and Adelaide Sir (183 lbs.)

both scored fourth in both events. Other top-four finishers were Neslo Atilla (129 lbs.) and Alexandra Konecna (119 lbs.), who were fourth in Olympic lifts. Marathon and Coral Shores compete in the 1A classification, which took place on Jan. 27 at Doctors Charter High School in Miami. Both teams fared extremely well, with Marathon winning the district championship in traditional lifts. Coral Shores was the runner-up. In Olympic lifting, the Fins and ’Canes placed second and third, respectively. Coral Shores had a pair of double district champs in Jennille Arias (169 lbs.) and Sydney Eysenbach (unlimited). The pair automatically qualifies for regionals and a chance for a spot at the state championships in February. Rachel Rusch (110 lbs.) won the district gold in traditional and a spot in the regional lineup. Other top performers in traditional were runners-up Kali Gomer (139 lbs.), Madison Tillman (169 lbs.) and Vanessa Gabriel (unlimited). Julia Rusch (101 lbs.) and Leticia Lima (119 lbs.) placed third and Elizabeth Giordano (110 lbs.) came in fourth. The ’Canes also had high performers in Olympic lifts. Rachel Rusch and Gomer took home silver medals. Tillman and Gabriel struck bronze and Melanie Moc (139 lbs.) was fourth. Marathon can now claim four district champions this season. Justice Lee (183 lbs.) won both events and a pair of regional spots. At 119 lbs., Sierra Earnhardt won the gold in traditional plus a silver in Olympic. Ava Merryman (139 lbs.), Marquisha Abraham (154 lbs.) and Sabrina Schofield (199 lbs.) are the reigning district champs in traditional lifts. Schofield won silver in Olympic and Abraham won bronze. Ella Dunn (101 lbs.) had a pair of second-place performances. Rilynn Richards (110 lbs.) came in second in traditional and fourth in Olympic. Mikkel Ross (129 lbs.) was second in traditional and third in Olympic. Elise Dolton (154 lbs.) and Harlie Daniels (119 lbs.) both won silver in traditional and fourth in Olympic. Cami Wrinn (139 lbs.) won bronze in Olympic and fourth place in traditional. Samantha Schofield (183 lbs.) brought home a pair of fourth place medals while Ella Evans (129 lbs.) claimed a third place medal in traditional. Elizabeth Piper (unlimited) came in fourth in traditional lifts. Key West’s regional qualifiers will chalk up on Feb. 3 at Sebastian River High School while Coral Shores and Marathon participate at Lemon Bay on the same day. Anyone qualifying for the big show will travel to Lakeland Feb. 16 and 17 for the FHSAA State Championships.

FINS STUN ’CANES
Marathon celebrates senior night with double dose of victory
1 2
C
oral Shores swept into Marathon’s Kay Gradick Gymnasium on Jan. 26 with the odds in their favor. The Fins were arguably the underdogs in both the boys and girls games set for tipoff on Friday night. The Hurricane boys had already beaten Marathon twice this season by 9 and 18 points, and the Lady ’Canes had previously topped the Fins by 2 while boasting a better record. As the teams showed, when it’s a rivalry game, all bets are off. The Lady Fins started off the night celebrating their lone senior, Kayesha Christian, just prior to tipoff. The teams traded leads early in the game, and it wasn’t until the final quarter that the Lady Fins pulled away for the 43-33 win. Elena Eubank single-handedly poured on 25 of those points. The rest would come from Marti Kilbourne (10), Daysi Williams (6) and Payton Junker (2). Coral Shores’ Brooke Mandozzi led the charge for the ’Canes, scoring 19 points and grabbing 11 rebounds. Makayla Hahn scored 8 and registered 4 steals. Abby Vogt was credited with 7 assists while Grace Leffler and Gabby Thomas did a majority of the rebounding with 11 and 8, respectively. With their season head-to-head score all tied up, a third matchup is a possibility in the postseason; Marathon and Coral Shores both participate in the FHSAA District 16 3A division. District brackets will begin to be populated as early as this week, with games beginning Feb. 5. The boys game started in similar fashion. Marathon honored seniors Jesus Gonzalez, Adrian Cruz, Jaynel Rojas, Xavier Grant and Yaniel Garcia, but it would mainly be the underclassmen who dominated for the Fins. Marathon pulled out with an early lead and had all the momentum going into quarter two when the ’Canes came alive. Coral Shores’ Isaac Holmes and AJ Johnson did an exceptional job locking down

the Fins in the second quarter, using a physical style of play to pull down rebounds and box out Marathon. The Hurricanes managed to pick up steam heading into halftime and were up by 2. But the aggressive defense which broke Marathon’s momentum in quarter two proved to be the ’Canes’ downfall in the final quarter of the game, when both Holmes and Johnson fouled out. Marathon could not miss in quarter four, and a reenergized home team regained the momentum, though it would come down to the final moments before the Fins could seal the deal. Sophomore Daeshawn Holmes erupted for 23 points for Marathon, pulling down 14 rebounds for a double-double, while his nine blocks nearly qualified for a triple-double. Yaniel Garcia scored 9 in his final home game for Marathon, grabbing 5 rebounds of his own, and freshman Josh Koler owned the paint, sinking 8 points, pulling 7 rebounds and registering 2 blocks. For Coral Shores, Isaac Holmes and Aydan Lane scored 13 each and Donovan Thiery added 7 points in the 52-43 loss. Fins head coach Jim Murphy was more than satisfied with the win. “Since 2018, we have not beaten either of our in-county rivals in football, basketball or baseball,” he said. “We showed this week we can compete with the two much bigger county rivals and are looking forward to our future matchups. This was a great win on senior night.” Key West’s boys had a full schedule last week, playing a

series of four road games in five days. Despite the exhausting schedule, the Conchs picked up three wins to tack on to their now even 9-9 record. They started it off Jan. 22 at iMater Charter, where they defeated the Knights 61-52. James Osborne had the top score with 26. DeMarcus Deroche scored 13, Kameron Roberts added 7 and Walson Morin and Tramane Scott put in 6 apiece. The following night they made the short trip to Marathon, downing the Fins 61-49. Osborne led the charge again with 23. Deroche scored 10, Roberts had 9 and David Aviles and Scott had 8 each. Marathon’s Daeshawn Holmes had the top score for the Fins with 16 while Josh Koler earned 8 and Xavier Grant added 7. Key West earned their third victory Jan. 25 at MAST Academy, winning 71-42. Osborne and Roberts each scored 19 and Deroche put in 11 in the big win. The following night the Conchs suffered their first loss of the week at Palmer Trinity, falling to the Falcons 74-46. Roberts and Osborne shared the team high again with 13 points each. The Conchs play on the road on Thursday, Feb. 1, then take on Boyd Anderson at home Friday, Feb. 2 for their final regular-season game. The Lady Conchs lost a pair of games last week, falling to Marathon 43-33 on Jan. 24 then to Archbishop McCarthy 62-43 on Jan. 27 in a pair of road trips. They play their final regular-season game at Schoolhouse Prep in Miami on Friday, Feb. 2.

oral Shores recently announced its newest hire in head baseball coach Tony Hammon. Hammon is a Coral Shores graduate who has filled the roles of classroom teacher, school administrator and coach and has been a member of the Upper Keys community for the past five decades. He started his career at Coral Shores as a science teacher after playing baseball at FKCC in the late ’60s while earning his associate’s degree. He then went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in biology education from the University of Miami and a master’s degree in educational administration from Tennessee Temple University.

EP 39 Listen to the Sports Wrap podcast
TONY HAMMON TAKES THE HELM FOR ’CANES BASEBALL The 2024 season will not be Hammon’s first stint as head coach with the ’Canes. Hammon was the second baseball coach in Coral Shores history following the iconic Roger Allen, who had been his coach and mentor all through high school. He then helped to found the Island Christian School, starting a varsity baseball program there in 1975 and coaching there for the next 40 years. In addition to teaching, coaching and serving as a school administrator, Hammon is pastor emeritus of Island Community Church, where he served as senior pastor from 1989 to 2019, has authored three books and continues his educational training by traveling to underserved populations throughout the world. Despite his insanely busy schedule, Hammon did not hesitate to find time to return to his alma mater to serve his community yet again. “My kids all played ball here in this community, both in little league and then varsity,” he said. “I have been an umpire, coach, teacher, principal and parent, so I guess I’ve just about covered all the bases.” “I’m excited to be coaching at Coral Shores again. These are great kids and I have an exceptional coaching staff working with these young men,” he added. “I am looking forward to a great season.” Hammon has been married to his wife Colleen, his high school sweetheart, for 52 years, and has four children and 11 grandchildren.

MANDOZZI SINKS 1,000 Coral Shores senior battled injuries, adversity to join four other quadruple-digit ’Canes
O
n Jan. 23, Coral Shores senior basketball star Brooke Mandozzi joined an elite group of just four other female athletes to score 1,000 career points. The unassuming hoopster has been a staple on the Hurricane hardwood for four seasons, and scored her 1,000th point in typical Mandozzi style – she was completely unaware it had occurred until it was announced at halftime during the team’s final regular-season home game against LaSalle. The Hurricanes would lose the game, but Mandozzi still managed to score half of the team’s total points and grab 10 rebounds for a double-double on the same night as her historic achievement. “Brooke and the team had no idea she was close,” said head coach Jarrod Mandozzi. “She's pretty no-nonsense and isn't big about individual goals and would never want to have it be about her, which I love as a coach.” Another reason for the ’Canes’ coach to love his superstar scorer is the fact that he is her father. “I'm obviously happy for her and so proud of her for all of her accomplishments,” he said. “I know it was hard on her in her freshman year particularly, and even a little into her sophomore year, because she felt like she was looked at as ‘Coach Mandozzi's daugh-
ter.’ I know it bothered her, and in some ways probably pushed her. “I told her midway through her sophomore season that she needed to forget that, because she was showing who she was as an athlete. … She was turning the table and making people say that I was Brooke Mandozzi's father.” A tenacious player, Brooke has endured more than her share of bumps and bruises on the court in her tenure with the ’Canes. “I've said before she's certainly among the toughest kids I've coached, girls or boys,” said coach Mandozzi. “As her coach, I love and appreciate that. As her dad, I often wish she'd take it a little easier on herself, and I tell her that all the time.” Leading up to her junior campaign, Brooke suffered a cut above her eye which required eight stitches to close. She managed to get cleared by her doctor and worked to convince her coach to let her play despite the risk of opening the cut again and making it far worse. Going into her final home game, she was under the weather for several weeks, yet played through it to break the historic barrier. The Hurricanes finish out their regular season Feb. 2 in Miami before doing everything in their power to make a run at the FHSAA 3A postseason. DOUG FINGER/Keys Weekly
