ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

SEARCY

Mary turnedhasout to be an absolutely solid goalkeeper with three shutouts already this year.”

– Scott Paul, Lady Conchs head soccer coach

When Key West’s girls soccer team found itself without a goalkeeper after last season, junior Mary Searcy was the lone Lady Conch to step up to the challenge. After a few workouts, it became evident that Searcy was a natural, and along with the rest of the Conch defense, she has chalked up three shutouts already this season. “She has continued to improve each and every game as a goalkeeper that can be effective both with her feet and her hands,” said coach Scott Paul. “She is only going to get better.” Her ability to read the field has already proven beneficial, and Searcy has shouldered the responsibility of the position with grace. For her exceptional play and emerging leadership on the back line, Mary Searcy is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

UPHILL BATTLE

Wheatley, Dolphin boys conquer grueling course at states

On Nov. 22, Coral Shores sophomore Ali Wheatley and the Marathon boys cross country team took their marks at Apalachee Regional Park in Tallahassee for the FHSAA Cross Country State Championships. Wheatley secured an individual invitation with a fantastic showing at regionals the week prior, while the Dolphin boys qualified as a team by finishing fifth, making it their 11th consecutive year to make it to the big show.

Wheatley’s time, 20:27, was good for 61st place, and while a bit shy of her personal best, was excellent given the challenging course. Apalachee follows a hilly, twoloop tree-lined course with twists and turns throughout. In addition to the hills, something very difficult to train for in the Keys, Wheatley raced through the early-morning fog in her first appearance at states after narrowly missing a spot last season.

The Dolphins also found the course to be unforgiving. While none of the athletes registered a personal best on the technical terrain, the team ran to a 16th-place finish, right in the middle of the heap. They averaged 18:35, led by freshman Lucian Burns. Fresh off a stress fracture, Burns cruised to a 17:36 finish, claiming 42nd overall in the race.

Next were a pair of sophomores who paced one another throughout the course. Tony Bursa (18:14) and Allan Taylor (18:16) were 82nd and 83rd, respectively. Senior Caleb Shelar clocked in at 18:39 to finish his cross country career on a high note, and the team’s youngest member, seventh-grader Anthony Vargas, rounded out the scoring five, finishing in 19:51. Junior Landon Anderson and sophomore Thomas Torres finished sixth and seventh for Marathon. The duo earned the trip to states along with the team, though only the top five count for scoring, with an occasional sixth-man tie-breaker.

With Wheatley and all but one of Marathon’s qualifying gentlemen returning for at least another season, the outlook for 2026 looks promising.

1. Sophomore Ali Wheatley finishes strong at states.

2. Marathon freshman Lucian Burns cruises in a fantastic final race of the season.

3. Marathon’s boys cross country team awaits the gun at the start of the FHSAA 1A State Championships.

4. Dolphin sophomore Antonin ‘Tony’ Bursa kicks out the final stretch at Apalachee Regional Park.

Claudia Steling’s intangibles played as crucial a role as her skills this season.

“Claudia brought leadership, confidence and a lot of fun to the course every day,” said Josh Bassett, Key West’s head coach. Steling’s proficiency on the course carried the team much of the season, and a fantastic showing at districts led to an at-large spot at regionals, making her just the second female golfer in the team’s history to make an appearance at that level.

MEET THE 2025 ALL-KEYS GOLF TEAM

Strong play leads to historic

Aseason

fter inclement weather and poor course conditions hampered the early season, Keys golfers quickly rebounded and made it a season of memorable matches. Each week, the teams took turns playing one another’s home courses. They enjoyed friendly rivalries in a sport where players helped one another with advice, tips and, most importantly, support not seen in most sports. Despite the color of an athlete’s polo, golfers can count on one another for a camaraderie that sets a foundation for success. This season, Marathon and Key West took turns in the lead in the boys competitions while the Lady Conchs ruled in girls play. Marathon and Coral Shores made history by sending their first golfers to regionals, and Basilica School made a midseason appearance to lay the groundwork for 2026.

Key West’s Lexi Finigan won multiple matches this season. Her demeanor and positive leadership made an equal contribution to the Conchs. Finigan plays with confidence and manages to stay strong in the face of adversity, and her teammates can count on her to be their biggest fan even when a match is not going her way.

Just a freshman, Key West’s Mary Alice Davila has already proven she has what it takes to win. Her natural ability coupled with a strong desire to improve make her a force to be reckoned with in the next three seasons with the Conchs.

In just her second season of playing golf, Marathon senior Justice Lee Isom showed she was as adept at swinging the irons as she is at pumping iron. Lee Isom had multiple strong showings this year, with the highlight being shooting her first birdie as she improved steadily throughout the season.

In her first season with the Hurricanes’ golf team, sophomore Valerie Gabriel showed she has exactly the right attitude to excel in the game. Gabriel’s strong work ethic, dedication to improvement and positive attitude gave her an advantage as a golfer, and her improvement was notable as the season went on.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR

In his first season with the Hurricanes, freshman Scout Oliver made history. His play at districts earned a spot at regionals, making him the first Coral Shores golfer to do so. Oliver’s contributions go beyond his golf skills. “He consistently demonstrated exceptional skill, sportsmanship and leadership while representing his school with excellence throughout the season,” said coach Danielle Thomas of her freshman phenom.

Hurricane senior Brock Bynum has anchored his team for the past four years. Bynum’s competitiveness and coachability made him invaluable for Coral Shores, and his ability to fine-tune his game made him a solid contributor for his entire high school career.

Conch junior Geo Twyman was in the running every time he teed off this season. Described as the team’s most consistent player, Twyman finished the season with a solid 79 at districts, setting the stage for a strong senior season.

Key West’s Mason Titensor played the game with the maturity of a more seasoned golfer. His offseason work coupled with what his coach describes as exceptional leadership make Titensor one to watch in 2026.

In his inaugural season with the Conchs, sophomore Jakub Krytinar showed he has what it takes to compete by winning multiple matches and rounding out his first season with an 81 at districts.

Consistently Marathon’s topseeded athlete, Piscetello narrowly missed a round at regionals via a tiebreaker. Piscetello took seven firstplace victories for the team and averaged 40 in the nine-hole competition this season.

Freshman Emmett Merryman averaged 41 strokes this season, making him a threat every time he took to the greens. Merryman secured his spot in Marathon’s record books by becoming the first golfer in school history to qualify for regionals after shooting an 83 at districts.

Praised for his leadership and marked improvement, senior Max Childress helped the team break its teamlow record, then re-break it several times this season. The senior athlete pulled off a regular-season win and showed maturity and drive throughout his time with the Fins.

PLAYER OF THE YEAR

3

Senior captain Molly McKnight shored up the Conchs’ 5-1 offense with a consistency coach Kim Butler described as remarkable.

“Her ability to deliver the ball quickly and set up our hitters for success was unmatched. Her leadership on the court was essential,” Butler said. She had 628 assists, led the team in aces with 46 and posted an outstanding 97.6% serving percentage, demonstrating reliability and precision.

Audrey Smith

SENIOR, KEY WEST MIDDLE BLOCKER

With 247 kills, a .276 hitting percentage, 79 digs and 76 blocks to her credit, senior Audrey Smith was a formidable powerhouse whose commanding presence was as strong at the baseline as it was at the net. Smith had a 90.1% serve percentage with 23 aces and an unstoppable determination her team leaned on when challenges arose. The senior captain demonstrated impeccable leadership in addition to her on-court skills.

Tess Wright did all the little things to improve her game for years, and it paid dividends this season. The senior middle blocker registered 43 blocks, 95 kills and a .183 hitting percentage this season, and her strong work ethic and positive attitude made her a standout for Key West.

MEET THE 2025 ALL-KEYS VOLLEYBALL TEAM

The 2025 volleyball season in the Keys showcased a wide range of competition across four classifications, with each program carving out its own identity. Coral Shores ended with the strongest record at 13-4, fueled by wins over Marathon, Basilica and a split series with Key West. The 3A Conchs opted for a challenging schedule full of tournament play and finished 16-12, earned a district quarterfinal bye, then won in the semis. Though they lost in the district championship match, their strong play earned them a bid to regionals, where the season ended for the senior-heavy team. Basilica, playing as an independent, went 8-14 but secured a notable win over Marathon. The Dolphins, competing in 1A Rural, battled through a rebuilding year to a 3-14 finish, with one of their three wins being at districts.

Adriana Heinrichs

SENIOR , KEY WEST OUTSIDE HITTER

Touted by head coach Kim Butler as having the best all-around ball control for the team this season, senior outside hitter Adriana Heinrichs tallied 98 kills, 27 aces, 35 assists, 207 digs and seven blocks this season. Her confidence and calm presence served the team well, and a strong work ethic and coachability make her equally missed by teammates and the coaching staff next season.

12 Gabrielle Garcia

SENIOR, KEY WEST OUTSIDE HITTER

Outside hitter and team captain Gabrielle Garcia racked up 216 kills, 31 aces, 169 digs and nine blocks despite battling a nagging injury most of the season. A fouryear starter for Key West, Garcia’s consistency in serving, unstoppable optimism and dependable leadership made her valuable both on the court and off.

3

In her first full season of varsity play, sophomore libero Journey Lamb made a name for herself on the court this year. Lamb had 13 aces, a 96.7% serving percentage, 21 assists and 309 digs to make her a dominant presence for Key West. Lamb continues to hone her skills in the offseason and do the work it takes to improve, making for an exciting future.

Daysi Williams

SENIOR, MARATHON MIDDLE HITTER

Described as having a relentless determination and grittiness to spare, senior Daysi Williams was a force at the net for the Fins. The middle hitter was a no-nonsense blocker and her vertical ability proved deadly all season long. Williams’ teammates voted her MVP of the Dolphins.

14 Addison Collins

SENIOR, MARATHON RIGHT-SIDE HITTER

Senior setter and right-side hitter Addison Collins was a dependable, all-around athlete for the Fins, combining a keen game IQ with a deadly serve. Collins’ ability to make runs at the service line kept the team in games. Her impeccable setting made her an asset to her teammates, who looked to her steady, calm demeanor for leadership and guidance.

13 Celene Walker

JUNIOR, CORAL SHORES OUTSIDE

HITTER

Junior Celene Walker is a powerful combination of athleticism and competitive spirit, fighting for every point on the court. The talented outside hitter racked up 192 kills this season, leading the team in that category and claiming second in digs. With 22 aces, Walker proved that she was a threat anywhere on the court, and ’Canes coach Sam Ovalle praised her passion for the game as well as her leadership.

Mackenzie Morris

SENIOR, BASILICA MIDDLE HITTER

After missing her junior season due to injury, Mackenzie Morris made a fantastic comeback, amassing 13 aces with a 93% service percentage, 21 blocks and 106 kills. Described as focused, coachable and committed to excellence, Morris made her final season with the Mariners count.

Gloria Slavik

SENIOR, BASILICA SETTER

Senior Gloria Slavik combined a strong IQ for the game with athleticism to make her presence known on the court. The right-side hitter and setter had 13 aces, 54 kills and 152 assists with the Mariners and made contributions in multiple positions, transitioning flawlessly any time the team needed her to change roles. Her versatility and willingness to work hard made her a true asset to Basilica.

5

Ivy Tiedemann

SENIOR, CORAL SHORES LIBERO

With a team-high 262 digs as well as 49 assists this season, senior Ivy Tiedemann will be sorely missed next year. The senior libero is credited with giving 100% at all times and never backing down from a challenge. Her competitiveness helped the Hurricanes when they needed it the most, and her versatility was exactly what the team needed this season.

14

Shelby Lynn

SENIOR, CORAL SHORES SETTER

Senior setter Shelby Lynn led the Hurricanes in aces with 53 and assists with 279. Lynn was third in digs with 154, proving her dynamic athleticism on both offense and defense. Credited for playing with a lot of heart, Lynn showed up to each match ready not just to play, but to win.

Olivia Revoredo

FRESHMAN,

BASILICA OUTSIDE HITTER

Just a freshman, Olivia Revoredo made an immediate impact on the court. Credited with being an explosive hitter, strong passer and solid blocker, Revoredo is an all-around fantastic player who manages to make those around her perform their best as well. With three more years of play, Revoredo has the potential to be a force for the Mariners.

Coralyn Frimpter

FRESHMAN, CORAL SHORES OUTSIDE HITTER

Freshman outside hitter Coralyn Frimpter had no problem making the transition from middle school to varsity and made a difference from day one. With 167 kills, 47 aces and 101 digs, Frimpter was a clutch performer and head coach Sam Ovalle described her as humble and coachable, setting the stage for three more years of top-notch play.

RUNNER

OF THE YEAR

MEET THE 2025 ALL-KEYS CROSS COUNTRY TEAM

TThis season, Ali Wheatley brought home a silver medal from districts, where she ran the course in 20:22. One week later, she kicked it into high gear, finishing in 19:38 and earning a spot at the state championship meet. She demonstrates mental toughness, pushing through difficult training sessions. With two seasons of eligibility remaining, Wheatley’s accomplishments, like her pace, will not likely slow down any time soon.

junior Mylana Loza embraces challenging workouts and never shies away from giving her full effort. That paid off this season, as Loza was consistently the second Fin to cross the line at races. She ran a personal best 23:30 at regionals, peaking at precisely the right time.

Consistently the Hurricanes’ No. 2 runner, Kate King clocked some fantastic times this season. King picked up the pace for nearly every race, culminating in a 22:27 personal best at regionals and setting the stage for an exciting senior campaign.

he 2025 cross country season was another shining example of Monroe County athletes’ dedication, resilience and competitive spirit. Runners from every school delivered strong performances, with teams and individuals representing the Keys all the way to the state meet. Marathon struck gold and Coral Shores earned silver at districts. Marathon and Coral Shores qualified full squads for regionals and Key West’s boys also advanced. At regionals, Marathon’s boys team and one Coral Shores female runner punched their tickets to the state championships in Tallahassee. Across the board, every program showed meaningful growth and marked improvement, setting the stage for an exciting future in Keys cross country.

The Lady Fins’ top runner also happens to be their youngest; Molly Joly cruised to a season-best 22:10 at the FHSAA 1A Region 4 championships, after bringing home a seventh-place medal from districts the week prior.

In her first season of varsity running, Emma Bradshaw had an impressive showing. Her strong team spirit and perseverance helped whittle down her times throughout the season, culminating in a 24:09 personal best at districts.

In one of the most challenging sports, Ryah Bushey stands out for making it look more fun than it is daunting. She brings a contagious enthusiasm that lifts and motivates the entire team. Her district 25:45 personal best finish at districts proves that she has what it takes to be one of the best.

As the only returning member of the Lady Conchs’ cross country team, Violet Jangraw gave her team the leadership they needed. The hard-working junior had her season best, a 25:34, in the first race of the season, then came close again at regionals. The team relied on her guidance and energy as much as her times this season, and Jangraw consistently delivered without complaint.

OF THE YEAR

Antonin Bursa

Just a freshman, Lucian Burns has already made two appearances at the state championships. Burns was sidelined with what could have been a season-ending injury in mid-October. He returned to the starting line at districts, where he struggled, yet finished fast enough to help the Fins qualify for regionals. Burns shaved off nearly two minutes one week later, then led Marathon at states, finishing 42nd.

Dolphin sophomore Antonin “Tony” Bursa ran seven sub18-minute races this season. His PR came at districts, where his 17:19 finish won a gold medal. Bursa has both endurance and speed, often kicking it in at the end of races to surpass runners in front of him. With two more seasons to go and a proven running pedigree, Bursa has the ability to become one of the best runners in Monroe County history.

Delacerda

Sophomore Sawyer Hill has no qualms about putting in the work to get better. His discipline and consistency have become something the team can rely upon. Hill finished his season with a personal best 18:35, setting the stage for upcoming seasons for the motivated sophomore.

Alaric Rodriguez

SHORES

Hurricane harrier Jamie Cary finished his senior season with a PR, racing to an 18:03 finish at regionals. Cary showed incredible improvement this season, a testament to his focus and dedication to training. Race after race, Cary delivered strong finishes to help lead his team in the postseason and end on a high note.

SHORES

Hurricane senior Alaric Rodriguez ran his best at Spanish River this year, finishing in 19:33. Rodriguez’s long history in the sport made him a tough competitor who gave his team a shot at winning every time he toed the line.

Prometheus Delacerda provided the Conchs with senior leadership this season, which was exactly what they needed. His competitive spirit and drive to get better elevated not only his own performance, but the entire team. Delacerda crushed his times this season, finishing his senior campaign in style with an 18:37 PR at regionals.

Marathon’s No. 3 man, Allan Taylor, ran a personal best 18:01 at districts this season as he closed the gap between himself and the Fins’ top two. Taylor hawks down his rivals and teammates alike, making it look fun in the process. You would be hard-pressed to find him on a training run without his signature smile and two thumbs up.

Caleb Shelar

SENIOR

MARATHON

Despite being Marathon’s No. 4 runner, senior Caleb Shelar often outpaces the top finishers for the rest of the county’s teams, and his quiet determination and focus are a big piece of the Fins’ success. Shelar clocked in at 18:22 for a PR at regionals this year, helping Marathon secure a spot at states, where he finished under 19 minutes despite a hilly, treacherous course.

any other person. Unless sooner barred by section 733.212(3), Florida Statutes, all objections to the validity of a will or any codicils, venue or the jurisdiction of the court must be filed no later than the earlier of the entry of an order of final discharge of the personal representative or 1 year after service of the notice of administration.
