“Scarlet will not be outworked,” said head coach Jason Garcia. “Scarlet always puts in extra work on the field or in the cage. (She’s) always leading the way on conditioning and workouts.”

Though Niles is clearly a power hitter, she is willing to lay down a bunt when it is what her team needs, and defensively, her speed and agility make her a deadly outfielder. For her phenomenal talent paired with tremendous work ethic, Key West’s Scarlet Niles is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

Senior, Key West Softball

Two weeks ago, Key West’s Scarlet Niles slammed four home runs, with three in one game. This week, the talented senior proved it was no fluke when she drilled her fifth home run of the season, a team high. But her stats don’t stop there – Niles leads the Conchs in numerous categories, boasting a .360 batting average, .448 on-base percentage, a .960 slugging percentage, 5 stolen bases and 8 RBIs. And though much of her accomplishments are in part due to her pure athleticism, Niles earns her stats the old-fashioned way.

FINS, ’CANES PREP FOR BASEBALL’S ONLY ‘BATTLE OF THE KEYS’ THIS YEAR

Conchs head to West Coast after two-game skid

Following a pair of splits last week, the Marathon Dolphins and Coral Shores Hurricanes will have the only chance to duel for Keys bragging rights when they meet on Monday, March 25.

It would take 12 innings for a winner to be decided when Marathon traveled to Ransom on March 12, and unfortunately for the Fins, the win went to the Raiders.

Gavin Leal registered 4 hits in 5 at-bats in the loss, while Jack Chapman, Aidan Gonzalez, Mason Thornton, Dylan Williams and Gabe Leal each had 1 hit. Dylan Ziels pitched the first 6 innings, striking out 10 batters before both Leal brothers added some relief.

Two days later, Marathon had an easier go against Berean Christian in a two-game series. In game one, Thornton started things off on the mound, lasting 5 innings and striking out 8 of the 20 batters he faced. Williams closed out the final inning in a mercy-rule 10-0 win. Gabe Leal had a pair of hits with 4 RBIs and Williams, Thornton, Ziels and Michael Merryman had 1 hit apiece.

The following day, the Bulldogs made it onto the scoreboard, facing many of Marathon’s younger athletes, but the Fins still won it in 6 innings, 16-5.

Williams, Chapman, Ziels and Gabe Leal had two hits, with Thornton, Curran Nicolay and Wyatt Sifford

adding a hit each. Gabe Leal pitched 4 innings, striking out 7, while Williams and Chapman shared the rest of the game. The Fins are off for spring break but will face perhaps their toughest opponent this season the day school resumes. Coral Shores travels to Marathon on Monday night for both a District 16 and Battle of the Keys matchup at 7 p.m.

Coral Shores split the week with a loss to Varela on March 12, then a win against Somerset South Homestead the next night. The Vipers of Varela were stingy, allowing just 2 hits, 1 each from Keller Blackburn and Benjamin Friedman. Donovan Thiery spent 3.2 innings on the mound with Riley O’Berry and Dominic Batista helping out for an inning each. The trio combined for 3 strikeouts against the markedly larger 6A Vipers.

Against South Homestead, a fellow 3A District 16 opponent, things went much better. The ’Canes were error-free in the field and drove 7 hits, 2 of which came off the bat of Thiery. The others were from Friedman, O’Berry, Batista, Campbell Lavoie and Ezekiel Myers. Once on base, Coral Shores stole 9 bases total, with 3 from Friedman. Tate Brumbalow spent 3 innings on the mound and Grayden Ross closed out the 11-1 win. The Hurricanes have a pair of games scheduled over break before heading to Marathon.

Key West continued the tradition of taking on

OF

the toughest opponents they can schedule when they traveled to American Heritage High School on March 13. There, the Conchs faced the Plantation-based Patriots, ranked sixth in 5A. South Florida is home to two American Heritage High Schools, both with top-notch baseball programs. The other is the 4A Delray Beachbased Stallions of American Heritage, a team the Conchs could face in regionals. Key West is hanging on to the No. 2 spot in 4A.

Anthony Lariz and Felix Ong paired up on the mound for Key West in a powerful performance, striking out 10 batters, walking 4 and allowing just 3 hits. Despite their best efforts and some solid hitting, 4 errors contributed to a negative outcome for Key West. Steel Mientkiewicz, Auggy Davila, Nelson Ong and Sam Holland had one hit each in the 3-1 loss.

On March 17, Key West hosted another perennial powerhouse, Belen Jesuit. The game went scoreless through the third, then Key West scored 1 in the fourth inning to claim the lead. Belen struck back in inning 5, scoring 3 runs, then added 2 each in the sixth and seventh. Key West would not score again, resulting in a 7-1 loss to the Wolverines. Noah Burnham, Caden Pichardo and Nelson Ong each had a pair of hits, and though the Conchs were perfect in the field, 11 hits from Belen proved more than enough to defeat Key West.

Next for the Conchs is a trip to California to play some of the top-ranked teams on the West Coast before heading home for the second half of their regular season.

NILES HITS FIFTH HOME RUN

Marathon, Key West pick up one win each last week

Key West traveled to Homestead to take on Keys Gate on March 12, bringing home a resounding 15-3 win. The Conchs’ bats were on fire, amassing 22 hits in total with Alexa Condella leading the pack with a single, double and triple. Vera Rodger, Shylo Sanchez and Lindsey Koppal had 3 apiece and Ryleigh Harnish, Skye Sterling and Alexandra Rodriguez each had a pair of base hits. Monica Bueno, Scarlet Niles, Tavyn Gage and Maciey Malgrat accounted for the rest. Chloe Gilday completed the game for Key West, striking out 6 batters over the 7 innings of play.

Two days later, Eustis made the long trip to Key West for a highly-anticipated meeting of two of Florida’s top 2A teams. The Panthers, ranked 19th in the state and No. 2 in 2A, hail from district 7. The Panthers topped the Conchs, currently ranked No. 5 in 2A, 7-0. Eustis held Key West to just 2 hits, 1 from Sterling, who doubled, and Rodriguez. The score was tight, with the Panthers scoring the only run prior to inning six. Eustis unleashed a flurry of hits on the Conchs, who struggled with three errors in close succession. The 6-run sixth inning was too much for Key West to overcome in game one of the two-game series.

The following day, the yet-unbeaten Panthers held Key West to just 4 hits. Alexa Condella, Rodger, Malgrat and Niles each had 1. Niles’ hit was a home run, her fifth this season. Despite the Conchs’ best efforts, the Panthers, who boast six athletes batting over .500, defeated Key West 9-2. The 3-5 Conchs play again at home on March 23 against the 7A Indians of Vero Beach High School.

Marathon gained one win the easy way last week. Ransom Everglades forfeited their scheduled matchup on March 12. The following day, the Lady Fins hosted Miami Country Day, losing 10-1. Sara Robinson had a single and a triple in the loss. Madelyn Thornton and Shynell McGuire each tripled and Maeve Merryman and Elena Eubank added a single each for the remainder of the Fins’ 6 hits. Marathon, now 6-2, is off until after spring break, when they pick up again at home against Gulliver on Tuesday, April 2 at 4 p.m.

Coral Shores did not see any action last week.The Hurricanes will work for their first win in their next scheduled game on Thursday, April 4 at home against Somerset South Homestead at 5 p.m.

The Key West Lady Conchs do battle with the Eustis Panthers in the second game of a back-to-back series. The Panthers prevailed, 9-2.

FINS AND ’CANES STRUGGLE AGAINST 3A COLUMBUS

Lifters complete their regular season with a fourway dance at Coral Shores

On March 13, Coral Shores held a quadmeet to complete its regular season schedule. The ’Canes were joined by Marathon and Gulliver Prep, both 1A District 16 opponents, plus Columbus High, a larger 3A competitor. Columbus won first place in Olympic and traditional lifting, with Marathon securing second place in both events. Coral Shores was third in Olympic and fourth in traditional.

Three Keys strongmen were dual winners, all hailing from Marathon. Chase Leird won both events at 119 pounds, Matthias Martinez Velez at 139 and Max Childress at 183. Braulio Garcia won the traditional competition at 238 pounds. Coral Shores’ AJ Johnson was the champion at 219 pounds in the traditional event.

On Thursday, March 28, Marathon and Coral Shores will head to Doctors Charter for the FHSAA 1A District 16 Championships to begin the long road toward states.

The Conchs, ’Canes and Fins battle through a triple rivalry meet in track and field at Key West on March 16. The Conchs ended the evening with the highest scores for boys and girls, followed by Marathon, then Coral Shores.

KEY WEST DOMINANT ON HOME TURF

IMarathon’s Marshall and Key West’s Jenkins claim speed titles

t was a busy week on the track for Keys schools, with each team competing twice, but on March 16, all three squads met up in Key West for a tri-meet to showcase the track and field talents of Monroe County. When the final runner crossed the finish line and results were tabulated, the Conchs topped their in-county competition in both the boys and girls events. Marathon was second in both, with Coral Shores taking third. All three schools enjoyed some success in the various events, with plenty of time left in the season to improve.

Coral Shores had multiple winners and plenty of notable performances at the tri-meet. Ethan Marguet came in first in the 800m race in 2:07. Distance teammate Alaric Rodriguez was second in the mile, running it in 4:57, just a few seconds shy of a school record. Adrik Gadea was first in the 400m race, finishing it in 55.06s. Jack Collins was third. Xavier Johnson cruised over the 110 hurdles for a second-place finish and in the field, Rex Matthews was second in the long jump event. The 4x400m team of Adrik Gadea, Brian Hurt, Rodriguez and Marguet added another first for the ’Canes.

For the Lady Canes, Mira Jones was the biggest winner of the day with a first-place finish in the 400 in 1:06.02. Sammy Bates was second in the 800, finishing her two laps just one second away from the current school record.

Marathon’s Mikail “Jay” Marshall was the top finisher in the 100m and 200m races. Marshall finished the 100 in a respectable 11.26s, and his 22.71s finish in the 200 was a solid second faster than his closest competitor. Tony Bursa was first in the two-mile race, completing eight laps in 11:03.

Older brother Vance was third. Caleb Shelar finished the 400 in second place, rounding out the Fins’ track highlights. In the field, Fabbianho Louis Jeune won the high jump and came in third in long and triple jump. Cullen Coleman-Sayer was second in the pole vault.

The Fins’ girls fared well in the field events, with wins from Daysi Williams in the high jump and Kayesha Christian in the long jump. Christian also took third in the 100m while Williams was third in the 200m. Tinashay Cunningham came in second in the 400m while Mikkel Ross claimed a pair of seconds in the one- and two-mile races. Rebecca Merryman was third in the mile. Caylie Globe was second in both the high and long jump events while Shilo Yeider was second in the 100m hurdles. Justice Lee placed second in javelin and third in discus with teammate Marti Kilbourne taking third in javelin.

The Conchs had lots of first-place finishers, including Andrew Fedor with a 4:56 mile. Colbin Hill was close behind in third. Hill also claimed second in the two-mile race. Suharevskis Niks-Davis was a dual winner, taking first in the 110m high hurdles in 17.30s and the pole vault with a height of 13’11.25”. Jeff Dejean won a pair of firsts, in long jump (20’7.25”) and triple jump (40’).

The Conchs swept the throwing events, picking up a big share of their points. Jean Louis was first in shot put, tossing it 43’5.25”. Anthony Jenner and Benndy Ambrose were second and third. Noah Mercer was first in discus with a 130’4” throw. Ambrose claimed another second while Te’von Watson was third in that event. In javelin, Peyton Zubieta’s 156’4”

throw was good for first place, with Watson finishing second and Jeremiah Harvey in third.

Other top-three performances for Key West’s boys included Clerff Alexandre with second-place finishes in the 100m race and triple jump. Shane Lavallee captured third in the 100m, while Walson Morin and Leandro Batista finished second and third in the 200m. William Forster was second in the 800m, Anthony Jenner was third in the 110m hurdles and Ian Torrealba was third in pole vault. Additionally, the Conchs claimed firsts in the 4x100m and 4x800m relays. The 100 team was made up of Alexandre, Morin, Dejean and Lavallee, while the 800 team included Ryan Barrios, Hill, Jerven Louis and Forster.

The Lady Conchs were led by Dazmine Jenkins, with

wins in the 100m and 200m races. The speedy senior finished the races in 13.65s and 27.95s, respectively. Alyssandra Camargo was right behind Jenkins, claiming second in the 200m.

Caylaa Makimaa was first in the 800m, finishing in 2:41, then won the 3200 in 11:37, neary three minutes ahead of the second-place finisher. Teammate Naima Thomas was first in the mile, winning the race in 6:01. Thomas was also third in the 800m. Brooke Biskupich was first in the 100m high hurdles. Neslo Atilla was first in the 400m hurdles and third in the 100m high hurdles.

Anabel Portuondo won the pole vault, clearing 8’11.75”, then took third in the high jump. Clare Boysen threw the shot put 29’3.25” for first place. Kaylee Matas Cabezuelo won the discus with an 87’9” toss, then

claimed second in pole vault and third in shot put. Audrey Smith was first in javelin with a 112’11” throw and was second in discus. Taking third places for the Conchs were Jaila Hicks in the 400m and Riley Richard in pole vault. The Lady Conchs swept all three relays, as well. Abigail Cowan, Biskupich, Jenkins and Camargo teamed up to win the 4x100m race. Biskupich, Camargo, Makimaa and Thomas won the 4x400m relay and Thomas, Makimaa, Emerson Jackson and Mia Steer won the 4x800m event.

CONCH BOYS EARN DECISIVE VICTORY OVER ’CANES

Lady Conchs show improvement against Mavericks

Boys lacrosse had a Keys matchup last week when Key West and Coral Shores played in Tavernier on March 12. The Conchs beat the ’Canes 18-3 in a decisive victory. Mack Hill led Key West in scoring with 6 goals and 4 assists. Hill was also credited with 3 takeaways in the win. Carter Sessoms, Brooks Pellicier, Smith Switzer and Max Louchheim had 2 goals each, with Sessoms and Pellicier assisting 3 times each, as well. Roman Van Loon, Kieran Smith, Zachary Payne and Dreyden Telfer made up the other goals for the Conchs. Goalkeeper Mateo Lopez had a half-dozen ground balls and 8 saves.

For Coral Shores, Red Tudor scored twice and Nick Petrusha netted 1 goal with assists from Nathaniel Shugarman and Lucas

Carballo. SG Paul scooped up 4 ground balls and registered 6 take-aways in the ’Canes’ loss while Brock Bynum and Yoan Garcia paired up in goal for 13 saves. Key West is sitting on a 7-3 record with its next game scheduled against LaSalle on Tuesday, March 26. Coral Shores, now 1-7, plays at St. Brendan on Wednesday, March 27.

In girls lacrosse, Key West added one win and one loss to its record last week. The Lady Conchs played Archbishop McCarthy on March 13, winning 11-9 over

“Palmer came to play and the Conchs didn’t. We were flat the entire game and couldn’t find our rhythm.”

head coach

Marisa Giacopuzzi

the Mavericks, a team Key West lost to just two weeks prior. The team has been picking up steam lately, just in time for postseason action. Against McCarthy, Key West was all tied up at the end of quarter one and two, but managed to pull away in the second half. “It was a goal-for-goal type of game, high intensity and very physical,” said head coach Marisa Giacopuzzi. “Archbishop got four yellow cards in the first half, leading them to be down a player the entire second half.”

Key West took advantage of the situation, applying pressure to the Mavericks at the goal. “It was a hardfought game on both sides,” Giacopuzzi said, describing her young team’s will to win against a more seasoned rival. Colbie Turner scored 5 goals, won 6 draw controls and caused a turnover. Kait-

lyn Piloto netted 3 goals and intercepted twice. Maeve O’Hearn, Eisley Whitehead and Deanna Mercier each scored 1 goal. O’Hearn caused a turnover and had an interception and Mercier caused 3 turnovers and won 3 draw controls. Ava Brock caused 2 turnovers and was credited with a pair of assists. In goal, Courtney Grabus saved 7 to preserve the win.

On March 15, the Conchs celebrated Senior Night against Palmer Trinity. Key West struggled against the Falcons, losing 6-5. Though Palmer was the underdog in the game, Giacopuzzi said, “Palmer came to play and the Conchs didn't. We were flat the entire game and couldn't find our rhythm.

“Having just upset Archbishop, I thought we were ready. … Palmer out-hustled us, pressured us and shot

more than us. We were prepared in knowing what we needed to do in a close game like this, as we were with Coral Shores a few weeks back, but we still couldn't make it happen.”

Despite the loss, Giacopuzzi praised the hustle of Ella Bishop, whose defensive play, including 7 ground balls, helped keep the Conchs in the game. Grabus had 11 saves in goal, keeping the game close through the end. Turner scored 2 while Mercier, Piloto and Taylor Gibson each netted 1 goal.

Key West will need to leave its loss against Palmer behind in order to prepare for the strongest portion of the schedule in the coming weeks. The next game is Saturday, April 6 against St. Thomas Aquinas, then they face both American Heritage schools, one of which is the No. 1-ranked team in the state.

CORAL SHORES BOYS, KEY WEST GIRLS BLANK DOLPHINS

Districts set for April 15-16

Keys teams hit the tennis courts last week to get some matches in just prior to spring break. Marathon was the busiest team, playing both Coral Shores and Key West. The Fins hosted the Conchs on March 11, picking up two wins against Key West’s five. Adrien Holdinga won his singles match, then paired up with Tanner Snowden to claim the number one doubles match for Marathon’s only wins of the day. Key West saw wins from Michael Grodzinski and Devon Soni in singles, plus a win from the duo of Grodzinski and Soni in doubles action. Marathon did not field a full boys roster.

Two days later, Marathon traveled to Tavernier to play against Coral Shores. The Hurricanes swept the Fins in singles and doubles with wins from Makani Burga, Zachary Bolano, Merrick Dunn and Max Smith. Burga teamed up with Rory MacEachern and Bolano did the same with Tony Khioni to claim both doubles matches.

In girls action, Key West’s Amalia Strunk, Claudia Steling, Juliana Strunk, Violet Jangraw and Leyla Atilla beat out the entirety of Marathon’s lineup. Amalia Strunk and Steling plus Juliana Strunk and Atilla won the doubles matches for a clean Conch sweep. Marathon fared a little better against the ’Canes, picking up a singles win from Rain Banks and a doubles victory from Banks and Reese Elwell. Coral Shores managed to edge out the Fins 5-2 with wins from Charlotte MacEachern, Olivia Hughes, Chloe Koval and Vanessa Gabriel. MacEachern and Hughes teamed up for a doubles win as well.

All three schools have some early April matches, then head to district play on April 15 and 16. Key West will play at Tropical Park, while Marathon and Coral Shores face their district rivals at the Miami Dade College courts.
