ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

A.J. is a 4.4 student, leader in the school, great football player and even greater person.”

– ’Canes head coach Ed Holly

9/18

In the past two weeks, Hurricanes running back A.J. Putetti has run for over 400 yards and scored 5 touchdowns, the last of which sealed the win for Coral Shores against Palm Glades Prep last week. Putetti’s leadership and bulllike style of play has been integral in the team’s success. When there is no running room, Putetti makes his own, refusing to be denied a chance to put points on the board for the ’Canes. For his unyielding determination on the field and in the classroom, A.J. Putetti is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

’CANES REMAIN UNDEFEATED

4-0 volleyball squad takes down South Homestead in revenge match

The season is still young. But thus far, the Coral Shores Lady ’Canes volleyball team refuses to lose.

After defeating Basilica School 3-0 on Sept. 3, the team headed to Somerset South Homestead two nights later, looking to avenge their preseason loss and maintain their unblemished regular-season record. Coral Shores did just that, taking South Homestead down in four sets, winning 3-1 against a team that has quickly become one of their biggest rivals on the court.

“Many of our girls play club ball with most of their team, and a number play for their coaches in the offseason,” explained head coach Jarrod Mandozzi.

To make the rivalry even more intense, outside hitter Celene Walker played at South Homestead last year, making her first match playing in her former home gym wearing a Coral Shores uniform a memorable one.

“They’ve always got a crazy crowd and the acoustics in the gym make it so loud,” said Mandozzi. Walker was unfazed, however, and her maturity on the court made her coach proud.

“Not surprisingly, she stepped up huge and made an impact all over the court,” he said. “I especially loved to see the way she served the ball, finishing with 5 aces with all of the lights shining on her and the crowd making noise.”

Prior to the match’s start, Mandozzi had told his team that hustle and hard work can be contagious, but laziness can spread just as quickly. Ivy Tiedemann took those words to heart.

“She dove to the floor to keep a ball alive and was nearly in the stands for another one,” he said.

she and lenge ball

“When you have one of your setters making hustle plays like that, it really sets the tone, and she finished the night leading us in digs for the game.”

Walker, Sofia Jans, Abbie Bergeron, Shelby Lynn and Abby Vogt followed suit, and the collective desire of the team to out-hustle South Homestead made the difference between the teams’ preseason meeting and this one. Mandozzi praised them all for their unwillingness to let the ball hit the floor.

“Grace Leffler and Niveah Howard really stepped up to the challenge as they have all season so far and they were fantastic,” he said. “They did a lot more than just slowing the ball down – they had some huge blocks and really went right back at their hitters. Grace finished with a .529 hit percentage with 10 kills and 3 blocks and Niveah had a .364 hit percentage with 6 kills and 5 blocks.”

Coral Shores has a little over one month remaining in regularseason play, with district quarterfinals scheduled for Oct. 15.

Key West improved to 3-2 last week, picking up a win in Marathon on Sept. 5. The Conchs defeated the Dolphins in three sets, winning 25-18, 25-19 and 27-25.

“Our strong point was consistent serving,” said Key West head coach Kim Butler. “Our hitting percentage was down, and that was due to Marathon’s hustle, and we were not moving the ball around. The third set, they had us at 22-20, but we managed to claw our way out of it.”

Other high points for Key West were Reese Haggard’s two dozen assists. Haggard’s serves have been on the money of late, helping propel the Conchs toward a winning record.

Also serving up a storm for the Conchs were Adriana Heinrichs and Sunisa Kunn, who stacked up 5 and 3 aces, respectively. Tess Wright and Audrey Smith combined for 13 kills against the Fins.

Key West will be facing tournament action this week, with a return to regular matches at home in Bobby Menendez Gymnasium on Sept. 26 when they go head to head against Coral Shores to determine the best team in the Keys this season. Both Coral Shores and Key West are thus far undefeated in county play, setting the stage for an epic match.

The Dolphins were no pushover against Key West, and the set scores indicate there is truth in what Marathon head coach Kelley Cruz has said the past few weeks: The Dolphins are getting better and better. Cruz credited the team’s ability to keep the games close to “defense and our smarter plays at the net.”

“The audience helped a lot,” she said. Marathon’s home crowd was electric last week, and they are sure to get a good show at their next home match on Sept. 16 against Coral Shores, a matchup that always proves to be exciting.

After a light week, playing just one match, the Dolphins will be busy this week, playing at NSU University School in Fort Lauderdale on Thursday, Sept. 12 before heading to a tournament in Key West over the weekend.

The 1-4 Fins will be using the following weeks to boost their power rankings, which play into district placements at the end of October. Marathon joined the 1A Rural division this fall, and though they have just one win, they have played against good competition, which factors into the ranking algorithm. The Dolphins currently stand second in their district, and will find out how they rank against their rural division counterparts on Oct. 18 in Moore Haven for the district tournament.

The Mariners of Basilica School struggled with their depth chart the past few weeks. Though the starting six are as strong as it gets, for a small school like Basilica, which already includes athletes still enrolled in middle school, the loss of a single player is challenging. Losing two makes things exponentially more formidable.

Against Key West late last month, the Mariners were without standouts Mackenzie Morris and Julia Jankovic. And though Morris is still on the injury reserve, Jankovic was back in the starting lineup last week, helping the Mariners pull ahead with a winning record.

“We noticed the instant improvement right away with her return to the court,” said coach Robert Wright.

Basilica lost against Coral Shores Sept. 3 when errors plagued their ability to get things going, but Wright righted the team’s miscues and things went better in the next two matches. The Mariners defeated Horeb Christian and Cushman on Sept. 6 and 7, winning both matches 3-0. Wright was pleased with the team’s performance in both matches.

“When you have one of your setters making hustle plays like that, it really sets the tone.”

— Coral Shores coach Jarrod Mandozzi on setter Ivy Tiedemann

“Gloria Slavic continues to be the heart of the team,” he said. Slavic is key to the team’s offensive system, and when the starting lineup is complete and she is not filling in the gaps, Slavic is a playmaker.

Jankovic is one of the team’s middle school starters, and her ability to hit and set gives her a dynamic quality crucial to the Mariners’ strategy. Fellow middle school athletes Olivia Revoredo and Umo Vogan lead the team in kills. Junior Kallisto Sims has been coming alive recently, as well, registering 8 kills against Cushman.

Basilica plays a variety of Miami opponents for the remainder of the month, then will close out their season with Marathon on Oct. 10 and a rematch against Key West in their final game of the season Oct. 12.

BURSA TAKES THIRD AT MCD OPEN

Keys runners pacing for postseason with a variety of events

Two Keys cross country teams dodged finicky September South Florida weather to compete in races last week. Marathon traveled to the Miami Country Day Open, held at Greynolds Park in North Miami Beach, on Sept. 4.

The Lady Fins were led by senior Ella Dunn, who crossed the line in 25:23. Sophomore Maeve Merryman followed 7 seconds later. Sixth-grader Molly Joly was third for the Fins this time, with sophomore Sara Robinson and eighth-grader Rebecca Merryman rounding out the top five for Marathon. The Dolphins have not hit their stride yet this season, finishing sixth out of 10 teams, something atypical for the seasoned stable of runners.

The boys fared a bit better, finishing third overall out of a field of 11 teams. Their final score was boosted by a thirdplace finish from senior Vance Bursa, who completed the course in 17:06. Freshman Tony Bursa was second for the Fins, taking the 10th overall spot in 18:41. Junior Caleb Shelar was next, followed by eighth-grader Lucian Burns. Freshman Allan Taylor was next for Marathon, capping off the top five and contributing to the team score.

Coral Shores ran the following day, racing at the FNU Invitational at Larry & Penny Thompson Park in Miami. The girls were led again by freshman Ali Wheatley’s time of 22:42, good enough for a top-10 overall spot. Sophomore Kate King was second for the Lady ’Canes, with freshman Tess Hill, senior Kai Guth and sophomore Hayden Teal rounding out their top five.

The FNU Invite was the first race of the season for the boys team, which was led by a squad of juniors taking the top four spots for the Hurricanes. Alaric Rodriguez was less than a second from breaking the 20-minute mark, finishing in 20:00 and taking the top spot for Coral Shores. Nathaniel Shugarman finished next in 20:49. Shugarman’s performance, just one second shy of his PR, is a positive omen for the first race of the year. Tristan Rios and Adrik Gadea finished third and fourth for the Hurricanes. Sophomore Tristan Sanchez was number five for Coral Shores, which placed right in the middle of the teams in scoring.

All of the Keys teams met in the middle on Sept. 11 for a race in Marathon (results not available at press time), but will now part ways until late in the season. Coral Shores is scheduled to run in the annual King of the Hill meet at Tropical Park in Miami on Friday, Sept. 13. Marathon and Key West will represent Monroe County at Spanish River in Boca Raton on Friday, Sept. 20 and Basilica School is off until Saturday, Sept. 28, when they are scheduled to compete at the Conch Crawl.

PAIR OF BIRDIES SEALS WIN FOR IRONS

DOUG FINGER/Keys Weekly

Hurricanes ﬁnish ahead of Dolphins and Conchs at home course

Key West, Marathon and Coral Shores met at Key Largo’s Ocean Reef course on Sept. 5 to play nine holes, vying for the lowest score in a competition which has become not just friendly but familiar. Keys teams are fortunate to have multiple courses in Monroe County willing to lend some tee time to local youth golf enthusiasts, ensuring the future of the sport.

Coral Shores senior Tanel Irons was at the top of the leaderboard last week, shooting a 39 at his home course. Irons finished just 3 over par with birdies on holes five and nine to win the match by six strokes and stretch the Hurricanes’ lead. Conch senior Peyton Zubieta finished in second place. Zubieta also had a birdie on hole nine, shooting a 45 for the day. Coral Shores’ Preston Carroll and Marathon’s Cullen Coleman-Sayer tied for third at 46. In a four-way tie for fifth place were Coral Shores’ Derek Ramos, Key West’s Geo Twyman, and Marathon’s Roco Piscetello and Leo Mendez with 47 strokes each. Donovan Thiery of Coral Shores and David Rodriguez Jr. of Marathon rounded out the top 10 in the boys competition.

The girls field was a bit smaller on Sept. 5. The Lady Fins did not travel and Coral Shores and Key West did not bring full teams, making it an individual competition for the ladies. Key West took the top three spots, with junior Claudia Steling and sophomore Lexi Finigan tying at 50 strokes each. Senior Monica Bueno was six strokes behind in third. Hurricane senior Gabby Thomas stopped it from becoming a Conch sweep, finishing in a tie for fourth place with sophomore Charlize Lopez of Key West.

The teams will be making a tour of the Keys, starting Sept. 12 at the same spot then in Marathon on the 16th and in Key West on the 18th. Districts will start the final week in October, with all three teams hoping to advance to regionals.

’CANES SURVIVE BARN BURNER TO REMAIN UNDEFEATED

Conchs and Fins face must-win scenarios heading into week four

The Eagles of Palm Glades Prep gave Coral Shores a run for their money on Sept. 5, keeping an undefeated record for the ’Canes in jeopardy until the final second of play.

Coral Shores struck first on a 2-yard run by senior running back A.J. Putetti. Palm Glades answered moments later and added a 2-point conversion to take the lead 8-7. Coral Shores took the lead back when quarterback Yemcel Moreno connected with Andres Alvarado-Garcia for a 15-yard TD. The ’Canes added 2 instead of kicking to make it Coral Shores 15, Palm Glades 8. But Palm Glades found the end zone again and missed a PAT, allowing Coral Shores to cling to a 15-14 lead.

The Hurricanes marched down the field on a drive that looked like it would result in an expansion of their 1-point lead, but Palm Glades capitalized on a fumble, trotting it 75 yards for a touchdown. The Eagles converted on a 2-point conversion to steal back the lead, 22-15. Undaunted, Moreno carried one in for a 6-yard touchdown run and the extra point tied the game up 22-22. In the driving rain, the ’Canes kicked off and instantly regretted their decision to kick it deep; Palm Glades returned it 70 yards to score yet again. They missed their extra point, bringing the score to 28-22 in Palm Glades’ favor.

With just moments to go in the game, Putetti evened things up with a 47-

yard touchdown run, and the extra point gave Coral Shores a one-point lead to the delight of a raucous crowd. But Palm Glades was not finished. The Eagles drove down the field as the clock ticked down. With one second left, on the 11-yard line, Palm Glades took their final snap, but the ’Canes came up with a colossal stop to secure the win and their perfect record in an epic battle during which they never wavered.

Coach Ed Holly could not be prouder of his team’s ability to focus on the task at hand, particularly when things were iffy.

“The breaks didn’t go our way in the beginning. I’m proud of how the team handled it,” he said. “Palm Glades is a very athletic, well-coached team. They came ready to play.”

Coral Shores will defend its unblemished record on Friday, Sept. 13 at home against the Cowboys of ABF Academy Hialeah. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

“Missed opportunities” were the downfall of the Dolphins on Sept. 6, according to head coach Sean McDonald. Marathon faced the Patriots of Aubrey Rogers High School out of Naples. It looked like things were going to go well for the Fins at the start, as Marathon took advantage of the first possession and ate up the clock on a 10-minute march to their first

touchdown of the game, a 7-yard Fab Louis Jeune run. He tacked on his own extra point, putting Marathon ahead 7-0 with less than two minutes to go in the first quarter.

Marathon scored twice more in the game, once on a Louis Jeune 78-yard run and again when defensive tackle Matthew Delgado stripped the ball from a shocked running back and rumbled 60 yards into the end zone. However, Marathon struggled with defending the Patriots’ passing game, and Aubrey Rogers took full advantage to win the game 35-21.

Marathon will need to take down the Cougars of Canterbury High, a team traveling from Fort Myers, to stay in the hunt for their first bid to the postseason in their new 1A Rural designation. Marathon will be honoring first responders and those who lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy in their annual “Home of the Brave” halftime dedication. Kickoff on Friday, Sept. 13 is at 7 p.m.

Key West’s trip to Boynton Beach to play the Cougars of Somerset Academy Canyons on Sept. 5 did not go according to plan. The Conchs could not find their groove, losing 20-14 in the first of a two-week road streak. Key West was without their workhorse running back, Jaden Fox, and had to rely on their other weapons against the Cougars. Walson Morin stepped up for the Conchs, scoring both touchdowns, one off a 43-yard run and the other a 46-yard interception he took to the house.

But a series of miscues cost the Conchs. The Cougars found a way into the Conchs’ offensive scheme and Key West struggled to change on the fly.

“We can’t beat another team and ourselves,” said head coach Johnny Hughes, who plans to work on the offense’s communication this week before heading to Belen Jesuit on Thursday, Sept. 12. A win for the Conchs would go a long way in keeping their hopes for postseason play in sight.

CIRCLE THE CALENDAR

Thursday, Sept. 26, 5:30 p.m.

If you’re a fan of Monroe County prep sports, you will want to clear your calendar for some of the best intra-Keys competitions of the year. Scanning the schedules in the weeks to come, here are the must-watch matchups with bragging rights and Keys glory on the line.

Keys matchups you won’t want to miss

Coral Shores

Key West

The 4A Conchs, rife with senior power hitters, take on unbeaten 3A Coral Shores, a team full of heart and hustle. Both teams have mowed down the rest of the ﬁeld in Keys competition, leaving just the Conchs and ’Canes to determine who will be crowned this year’s Queens of the Court.

In the previous 54 matchups between the Dolphins and Hurricanes, the ’Canes hold the edge, 29-25. Coach Ed Holly’s Hurricanes have dominated this season, and if Vegas was handing out odds, Marathon would be a long shot. But that’s a bet any Keys sports enthusiast might want to consider, given the ferocity of play both teams bring to the annual Battle of the Keys. Records and odds can be thrown out the window when these two teams meet on the gridiron, and fans of either team or football in general won’t want to miss this one.

Playing one another for just the third time since 2010, the Hurricanes hope to avenge a loss in their last matchup two years ago and sweep the Keys in football. Marathon and Key West are not scheduled to play one another this season, making the Hurricanes the only team to play both their Keys competitors. At presstime, coach Ed Holly and his tenacious ’Canes are riding high on a six-game winning streak extending to last season. At ﬁrst glance, Johnny Hughes’ Conchs do not have a record to boast about, but given the level of competition they have faced this season, Key West can hold their heads high as they have held their own against some of the best football programs in Florida. The matchup should be exciting.
