ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
THIS WEEK
LOUIS JEUNE
Marathon Football
started playing
“Fab doesn’t shy away from the hard work it takes to be good. He has a natural vision for football. You would never suspect he started playing so late.”
– Sean McDonald, Fins head coach
Marathon’s Fabbianho Louis Jeune ran for 2 touchdowns and passed for a third in the Dolphins’ latest victory. He tacked on 6 extra points as the Fins’ kicker and racked up 238 all-purpose yards in the win. Louis Jeune currently leads the rural division in rushing yards this season and is in the top 10 for nearly every offensive category aside from passing. Not bad for an athlete who never touched a football until his freshman year. Beyond his skills on the gridiron, Louis Jeune, or just Fab for anyone who knows him, is positive, kind-hearted and humble. For his superior game play as well as his willingness to do whatever it takes to help his team win, Fabbianho Louis Jeune is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

SmartEn Academy fixed some clerical errors in their schedule and made good on their trip to Coral Shores last week. The Goats’ visit was Senior Night for the Hurricanes, and head coach Ed Holly stressed to his team that they needed to play their best football. That level is apparently quite high, as the ’Canes charged out to a 35-0 lead in the first half.
Coral Shores QB Yemcel Moreno connected with A.J. Putetti on the first drive of the game for a quick 7-0 lead. Xico Reynoso started the first defensive series off with flair, making 2 tackles for a loss and adding a sack before blocking the Goats’ punt, giving the ’Canes some fabulous field position. Jhonathan Mesa quickly scored on a six-yard run, giving the Hurricanes a 14-0 lead in the first moments of play.
Coral Shores continued to bring woe to the Goats’ offense when Andres Alvarado intercepted a pass, giving the ‘Canes good field position again. Moreno connected with Putetti for another score, then Alvarado ran one in for six more points. Moreno and Putetti connected a third time before the half ended.

The 35-0 lead allowed Holly to clear his bench, testing his depth chart and giving the underclassmen game experience. SmartEn did manage one touchdown in the third quarter after a quick regroup and switch in their quarterback position.
“I was happy we were able to come out and play well on senior night,” said Holly. And though the win makes it 5-0 for the Hurricanes this season, a true test of the team’s pluck comes this week. Coral Shores faces Florida Christian, a team Holly knows will be a challenge.
“We’re facing a good team,” he said. “They’re well coached and they’re good athletes.” Holly’s former defensive coordinator is the head coach at Florida Christian, and the two coached together at Westminster as well. The friends will face off at Florida Christian on Sept. 27. The following week, the ’Canes host the Dolphins of Marathon for the 55th Battle of the Keys, and their schedule only gets tougher from there. The remainder of their schedule includes a very strong Archbishop Carroll, the undefeated Neuman High from Naples, and a season finale game against Key West. The Hurricanes are playing their best ball of the season, just in time for the challenging half of their schedule.
Key West coach Johnny Hughes did not know what he
was facing last Friday when the Bobcats of North Port came to town. The teams did not have any similar opponents, and film on North Port was limited, but Hughes and his Conchs figured it out on the fly, coming away with a 33-21 win.
The Conchs’ workhorse, Jaden Fox, did not disappoint a lively Key West crowd, crossing the goal line three times. Walson Morin ran one in for six points and Teak Guyet connected with Cole Jackson for the first passing TD of the season for the Conchs. Hughes took advantage of the Bobcats’ defense, which continually blitzed everyone.
“When the free safety came flying up on the fake, I knew it was there,” Hughes said. The game was not a blowout, though, and by the final quarter, the score was tied.
“I liked the way the team fought through adversity in a close fourth-quarter situation,” Hughes said, adding, “There was no head-hanging. They rallied themselves.” The Bobcats’ response was somewhat different from that of the Conchs. Frustrated with their inability to stop the Conchs’ run game, North Port’s play became chippy, and a series of late hits and unnecessary comments resulted in multiple penalties, giving Key West an advantage they had patiently awaited.
The win puts the Conchs at 3-2 on the season heading into perhaps their most important match thus far. On Thursday, Sept. 26, Key West travels to Miami to take on St. Brendan in their first district game of the season.
“We are keeping the must-win mantra,” Hughes said. “We need to go out and get a win every week. Winning our district will be a challenge, so we want to have the strength of schedule.” At-large bids to the playoffs are earned from a largely-unknown algorithm, but what is clear is that a team’s wins factor into the equation, as well as their scheduled opponents. Wins against opponents with strong records move a team ahead more in the rankings. The Conchs share a district with St. Brendan as well as Miami Jackson and Northwestern.
Fifty miles up U.S. 1, Marathon managed to pick up its third win of the season against Palm Glades Prep. The game was originally scheduled to be played in Miami, but the field was unavailable and Marathon was happy to host the Panthers on Sept. 19 instead.
Marathon racked up 539 all-purpose yards in what would culminate in a 48-38 win. Starting things off for the Fins was Tanner Ross, who tore a hole through the Panthers’ line and dragged a few along with him as he barreled in for a short touchdown run. Ross scored again on a similar play later in the game, and his punishing style earned him 118 yards on the night. Shamar Wright, on the other hand, found the end zone using his speed and evasiveness. “Shamar’s got another gear,” said coach Sean McDonald, in reference to Wright’s explosiveness.
The Fins’ other three touchdowns came from senior Fabbianho Louis Jeune, who rushed for two scores and found Mathew Machado in the open field for a third. Louis Jeune also kicked 6 extra points, making him an all-purpose weapon for Marathon. By the end of the game, Louis Jeune had 181 rushing yards, 31 passing and another 25 receiving for 238 all-purpose yards.
Defensively, Carlos Lezcano earned 3 solo tackles and another 2 assists, and Jesus Gonzalez picked off a pass. “Our defense is starting to figure things out and have really come alive at important moments lately,” said McDonald.
Defense will be key for Marathon in the second half of the season. Scoring 104 points in their past two games is proof that the Fins’ offense can take care of business, so Marathon’s fate is in the hands of the defense. The next test will be Friday, Sept. 27 against Somerset South Homestead for Marathon’s homecoming game.
’CANES FACE CONCHS IN QUEST FOR WIN NUMBER 10
Volleyball squads fight for seeding in district brackets with two weeks in regular season
The Lady ’Canes picked up a pair of wins last week on the volleyball court, lifting them to 9-0 on the season, starting on Sept. 16 on the road. Their first obstacle in the crusade to remain unbeaten was Marathon, always a feisty competitor regardless of win-loss records, especially in their own house.
“We knew Marathon was going to be ready to play and their fans would be fired up for the game,” said head coach Jarrod Mandozzi, who described the Fins as “full of heart.” “Every year they seem to improve so much from the start of the season. They just don’t give up easy points and they really make you work to beat them.”
The Lady ’Canes came out swinging, setting the tempo of the match. “We came out and got right into our offense to take a quick 5-1 lead with Lily Hitchcock starting us off with a pretty emphatic kill,” said Mandozzi. Marathon managed to rattle the ’Canes at times, with big hits and blocks from Daysi Williams and Elena Eubank and all-out hustle from the defense, but the Hurricanes kept it together to sweep all three sets and come away with the win.
“It was a really great team effort with everyone pitching in,” Mandozzi said.
Leading the way for Coral Shores were Violet Matthews, Sabina Naranjo, Celene Walker and Niveah Howard, who combined for 30 kills. Naranjo added 10 digs, Walker added 11, and Sofia Jans and Ivy Tiedemann, who were credited with 16 and 12 digs, respectively, were defensively divine.
On Sept. 19, Coral Shores played district rival Keys Gate for the first second time in a little over a week. The ’Canes wasted no time in dispatching the Knights in a 3-0 sweep to advance to 8-0 on the season. In their second road match of the week, the Hurricanes were stellar at the baseline.
“We had seven girls with a serve rating over 2.5, which is really impressive,” said Mandozzi. “Our JV callup led the way with a 3.67.”
That JV call up was part of the ’Canes’ strategy for the upcoming postseason, which often means numerous
matches in a short period of time when illnesses begin to sweep the Keys. Mandozzi hopes to be prepared for anything, whether it is an ankle sprain or the flu.
Part of that preparefor-all plan included moving players around to give them reps in new positions. “Eliyana McLeod does a great job setting for our JV and she stepped right in tonight and got some good experience for a set,” Mandozzi said. “She had 5 assists and 2 aces. We’ll go right back to our regular formations tomorrow, but we felt like this was a great game to try some different things for down the road.”
Now facing the final stretch of the season, the ’Canes have their work cut out for them. They will meet their toughest matches beginning and ending with Key West on Sept. 26 and again on Oct. 7. The Conchs bested the unbeaten Hurricanes in the preseason and both squads are playing their best volleyball now, making for an exciting pair of matches in the coming weeks. Regardless of the outcome of those matches, Coral Shores looks
strong heading into districts, where they are ranked No. 1 in FHSAA 3A District 16 play. Marathon fell to 2-11 last week with a trio of losses. After losing to Coral Shores, the Lady Fins lost 3-1 against both Posnack on Sept. 17 and Westwood on Sept. 20. Marathon’s record does not reflect its district chances. The Fins qualified for the rural division and will compete with similar schools upstate for their championships. The FHSAA created
the division for smaller high schools, almost entirely public, in areas with lower population density. That’s an effort to create equity in a time when new tiny private schools pop up by the day, often focusing on athletics and making the regular 1-3A divisions full of temporary powerhouses. Marathon’s Rural Region 4 District 8 competitors – Glades Day, Moore Haven and Ft. Meade – are similar to Marathon in every way except proximity. The Fins will have to travel over 200 miles for their district tournament this season. Currently, only Moore Haven has more wins than the Fins, giving them a good shot at some hardware this October.
Key West, now 6-3, did not play last week. They resume action Thursday, Sept. 26 at Coral Shores. Across the island, Basilica split a pair of matches last week, bringing their record to 5-7. The Mariners lost to Somerset South Homestead, then finished the week by defeating Calusa Prep. The Mariners are not part of the FHSAA and therefore are ineligible for playoffs.

STELING’S WINNING WAYS CONTINUE
Boys golf heats up with just eight strokes between 1st and 10th
Keys golfers met in the Southernmost City on Sept. 18 to play nine holes at the beautiful Key West Golf Club. Lady Conch Claudia Steling outshot her nearest competitor by eight strokes, finishing at 52 on the day. Teammates Monica Bueno, Lexi Finigan and Charlize Lopez claimed second through fourth places and Marathon’s Makenna Haines was fifth, breaking up a Key West sweep. Only the Conchs turned in enough scorecards to count toward team play, with five of seven athletes wearing red, making them the clear winners on their home course.
In the boys’ competition, Key West won by one stroke, edging Marathon 184-185. The Fins did claim the top golfer of the day with Mason Thornton’s consistent performance. Thornton birdied on hole 3 and shot a 42, winning by two strokes over Key West’s Andrew Bassett and Ty Hill, who tied for second place.
Leo Mendez and Roco Piscetello, both of Marathon, shared fourth place, scoring 45. In sixth place was Peyton Zubieta (47), then Key West’s Ryder Suter and Jackson Barroso tied with Marathon’s Russell Clark at 49 to share seventh place. Tanel Irons made the leaderboard in 10th place, shooting a 50 for Coral Shores.
Golfers have until the end of October to polish their games prior to districts. Last season, all three teams’ seasons ended there, but this season, each team has multiple athletes who have come through with fantastic rounds, making it very possible for several athletes to make the regional cut.

TESTING THE WATERS
Coral Shores and Key West meet in Upper Keys pool
Key West, Varela and Braddock High Schools traveled to Founders Park on Sept. 18 for a quad meet with the Coral Shores Hurricanes.
The event was scored using the dual meet style, meaning each team was compared to each of the other teams individually. Braddock’s boys and girls outswam the rest of the competition at the meet. Key West’s boys placed second and Coral Shores’ boys came in third. Coral Shores’ girls came out ahead of Key West and Varela.
Individually, Coral Shores’ Layne Smith won the 500 free. Smith touched the wall a minute and a half before the next finisher, then narrowly missed another first place in the 200 free. Smith came in second, five one-hundredths of a second behind a Braddock swimmer. Abbie Sargent won the 100 breast event and was a close second in the 200 IM race. The Lady ’Canes’ 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams took second. Smith, Sargent and Allegra Fucaraccio swam legs on both teams. Sofia Figueredo participated on the medley team and Larkin Dunn did the same on the freestyle team.
The Hurricane divers put on a show, winning the top three spots in the girls division and top two in boys. Rachel Rusch was first, with Mae Turner and Julia Rusch in second and third, respectively. Aaron Lykins won for the boys with Merrick Dunn in second.
The Lady Conchs’ Hadley Bardoni and Reeghan Davis each claimed a runner-up spot. Bardoni was second in the 500 free and Davis in the 100 free. For the gentlemen, Hugo Blinckmann claimed third-place finishes in the 50 free and 100 breast events.
Key West’s 400 freestyle relay teams both claimed second places. The boys team was composed of Max Blinckmann, Santiago Gonzalez, Jacob Perez and Sebastian Camargo. The girls’ team included Bardoni, Davis, Mary Searcy and Tessa Hughes.
Key West wasted no time before the next competition, diving in two days later at their home pool. The Bucs of South Dade effectively walked the plank when they faced the Conchs on Sept. 21 at the College of the Florida Keys pool. The girls outscored the Bucs 113-48 and the Conch boys won 123-27.
Many Key West athletes won multiple races, with Key West sweeping the top three places in several events. The Conchs won every single relay on Sept. 21, showing their depth as well as their speed. Hugo Blinckmann, Mary Searcy, Santiago Gonzalez, Eli Morris, Hadley Bardoni and Perez won all four events they entered.
Individual race winners for the Lady Conchs included Searcy (200 free and 100 back), Bardoni (200 IM and 500 free), Colbie Turner (100 fly), Aly Camargo (100 free) and Ca-
mila Linares (100 breast).
Searcy, Linares, Bardoni and Camargo teamed up to win the 200 medley relay. Tessa Hughes, Molly Martinez, Reeghan Davis and Camargo won the 200 freestyle relay and Bardoni, Searcy, Hughes and Davis won the 400 freestyle relay.
Boys individual winners were Gonzalez (100 and 200 free), Morris (200 IM and 100 back), Hugo Blinckmann (50 free and 100 breast), Thomas Horvath (100 fly) and Perez (500 free).
For the relays, Kieran Smith combined forces with Hugo Blinckmann, Perez and Morris to win the 200 medley while Perez, Blinckmann, Gonzalez and Johnny Picco cruised to a first place in the 200 freestyle relay. In the final race of the afternoon, Perez, Morris, Gonzalez and Jason Frankel finished the 400 freestyle relay more than 30 seconds ahead of the next team.
Key West is headed to Ocala for the Florida Swimming Pool Association (FSPA) Invitational Sept. 27-28, an event head coach Lori Bosco and her teams look forward to every year. This year’s race could be helpful should any Conchs qualify for the state meet; the FSPA is being held in the same facility where states will occur mid-November.

Week five is the official halfway point in the season for FHSAA football. Most fans know their team’s record and who seems to carry the load on offense, defense and special teams, but many do not know where their favorite players stand statewide. Several Keys athletes have made the leaderboard for their divisions, proving that despite being small and geographically isolated, Monroe County has some of the best athletes in Florida.
FIVE LOCAL ATHLETES MAKE FHSAA LEADERBOARD
Conchs and Fins represent Keys football in mid-season ranking report touchdowns
Marathon’s Fabbianho Louis Jeune is currently number one in the rural division in rushing with 740 yards so far this season. Anyone who thinks an asterisk should be made due to Louis Jeune being in the state’s smallest division might have a change of heart when it is also noted that his total stands at seventh in the state among all divisions in rushing. And Louis Jeune’s leaderboard boasts do not stop there. He is third in scoring with 55 points, and this statistic does not include his extra points, which he kicks when he’s not busy playing both offense and defense. Fab is third in PATs and has kicked the longest field goal in the rural division this season. His 35-yard field goal earlier this season is not even close to his best, a 51-yard bomb he made last season. Louis Jeune is third in total yards (847) and seventh in touchdowns with seven.
Teammate Shamar Wright also made the rural division leaderboard for Marathon. Wright stands in sixth place in rushing with 457 yards.
Key West is in the 3A division and has a trio of leaders representing the Southernmost City. Jaden Fox is currently fifth in rushing with 504 yards. Fox accomplished this in just three games, having sat out two with an injury, making his number-five spot even more remarkable.
Walson Morin leads in three separate categories, making him quite an asset to the Conchs. He is in 10th place in scoring with 36 points. Morin is ninth in touchdowns with six and fifth in kickoff returns, averaging 53.5 yards per rip.
Often, nobody notices a kicker until he misses, which might be why Joshua Johnson hasn’t appeared too often in the Sports Wrap. Johnson simply does not miss. He has been perfect for the Conchs this season, making all 11 extra point kicks. Johnson is fifth in 3A in that statistic.

CONCHS, FINS RUN STRONG AT SPANISH RIVER
Hurricanes blow past Westwood Christian at home
Key West and Marathon hit the road for a race both teams look forward to each season. The 42nd annual Spanish River Cross Country Invitational, held in Boca Raton, entices teams from across Florida to enter, giving athletes a look at fresh competition. The course, at South County Regional Park, offers trails and lots of greenery for shade as well as open stretches for speed.
finishing in 20:26. The top five Fins’ combined times were good enough for seventh place out of 21 teams in their division.
The Fins and Conchs ran separate races on Sept. 20, with Marathon, competing in the smaller 1A division, going first. Marathon’s girls were right in the middle, finishing eighth out of 15 teams. Senior Ella Dunn was first for the Fins, claiming 42nd place overall in 23:42. Sophomore Maeve Merryman was next, followed by a pair of middle schoolers, Molly Joly and Rebecca Merryman. Sara Robinson, a sophomore, was fifth for the Fins.
In the 1A boys race, Vance Bursa was first for Marathon, finishing in eighth place overall in 16:30. Bursa has lowered his time at each race this season, improving nearly a minute in less than one month. He will need to keep that trend going if he hopes to repeat his state-medalist performance from 2022 when he finished in 10th place in Tallahassee as a sophomore. He has been plagued with minor injuries the past two seasons, but Bursa is unwilling to put aside his pursuit of gold, electing to run through the aches and pains. Despite the nagging injuries, Bursa was only about 12 seconds from his personal record at Spanish River.
Second for Marathon in 18:56 was Tony Bursa, Vance’s younger brother who is only a freshman but has state competition experience, making the cut in middle school for the Fins. The time placed him second in the Keys among current varsity runners, but is more than half a minute from what he was able to do last season, when he was able to crack the 17s four times in competition.
Marathon had two more runners break 20 minutes last week. Freshman Allan Taylor and eighthgrader Lucian Burns both PRed, Burns by more than a minute, to take the fourth and fifth spots for the Dolphins. Taylor crossed in 19:23.12 and Burns in 19:23.73. Junior Caleb Shelar was fifth for the Fins,
Key West’s girls raced next in the 2A division, and it was no surprise that Caylaa Makimaa was first for the Lady Conchs, completing the 5k in 20:29. The senior speedster is competing well above what she did at this time last season, which culminated in an individual invite to the state meet, fueled by a sub-20 regional finish. Makimaa’s times are trending in the right direction and she looks good for another trip to Tally, but if coach Keara McGraw’s master plan comes to fruition, Makimaa won’t be traveling alone this season. The Lady Conchs are pushing their limits in hopes of a team appearance at the state meet this November.
Violet Jangraw did her part at Spanish River, finishing second for Key West with a PR. Laira Anaya, Mia Steer and Ava Gonzalez claimed spots three through five for the Conchs, who finished 14th of 21 teams in the 2A race.
Coral Shores opted to run closer to home last week, hosting Westwood Christian School for a race at Pennekamp Park on Sept. 19. The ’Canes swept the top three spots in the girls race, and Westwood did not see a Warrior cross the line until the 10th place in the boys race.
Freshman phenom Ali Wheatley was first place overall in the race, finishing in 21:34, a solid four minutes in front of the next female competitor. Senior Kai Guth was second overall and freshman Tess Hill was third. In fourth place for the ’Canes and fifth overall was sophomore Hayden Teal, and Julieanna Oddo, also a sophomore, was fifth for Coral Shores, taking eighth place overall. Hill and Teal PRed in the competition.
In the boys race, Coral Shores’ Alaric Rodriguez crossed first in 19:01, a PR for the junior. Teammates Tristan Rios and Nathaniel Shugarman were close behind in second and third, respectively. Both broke the 20-minute mark, with Rios finishing in 19:46 and Rios in 19:50. Jamie Cary and Garret Gomila rounded out the top five places in the race.
The clock to districts is quickly ticking down, especially for 2A Coral Shores and Key West, who begin their postseason Oct. 20. 1A Marathon will toe the line on Oct. 29.
