ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
ROBINSON
8th grade, Marathon Basketball
She plays hard, respects her teammates and opponents and represents her team with class.”
– Andra Garvey, Lady Fins head coach
Shores
Young teams like this year’s Lady Dolphins often see underclassmen shine on their rosters, but this season, the top scorer for the Fins is not yet in high school. Eighth-grader Shaina Robinson is a middle school student playing on varsity – and it’s not even her first season on the MHS roster. Robinson is averaging nearly 20 points per game for the Fins, and she is airtight on defense as well. Fearless in the paint and deadly from behind the 3-point line, there is nowhere on the court where opponents are safe from her sharpshooting. Coral Shores found out firsthand last week, when Robinson dropped 29 points on them in a narrow victory for the Dolphins over their county rivals to avenge an early-season loss. Head coach Andra Garvey praised Robinson for her composure and focus on the court, something rare in even the oldest athletes on a team’s bench. For consistently delivering strong performances and quiet yet unmistakable leadership, Shaina Robinson is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

STILL KICKING
Lady Conchs soccer earns regional playoff berth
One Keys team remains alive in the FHSAA state soccer tournament. Despite losing in their district brackets, the Lady Conchs earned a bid to regionals with their strength of schedule and solid record, which stands at 10-5-4 as they prepare for their next match. Key West, ranked seventh in FHSAA’s 4A Region 4, is slated to play second-ranked Somerset Academy.
9709 Overseas Hwy. Marathon, FL 33050 Office: 305.743.0844 www.keysweekly.com
The teams both have 10 wins, but have not played one another or any common opponent. Somerset is ranked significantly higher than Key West, but the Conchs have outscored the Panthers this season, despite having fewer games overall. The match is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 5 at Somerset, with kickoff at 3:30 p.m. If Key West can pull off an upset, they would enter the state’s Sweet 16 and face either Mourning High or a rematch with St. Brendan School, who knocked the Conchs from district contention in January.

Local athletes share pre-competition rituals that get them in the zone
In a place as small as the Florida Keys, standout athletes don’t stay undiscovered too long, and great performances are so commonplace they can seem almost normal. But for the student athletes behind these feats, nothing is ever assumed. We asked some of the Keys’ top winter athletes about their pregame habits and rituals to find out just how an extraordinary athlete goes about preparing for an important game or match. Their answers, ranging from goofy to methodical, show that despite our small community’s wealth of success, there’s no single pathway to get there.
“Before every match I pace with my headgear and sweats. When the time comes, I slap my coach’s hands, he slaps my headgear, I let out a battle cry, then go wrestle.”
“I go to Publix and get a strawberry kiwi Gatorlyte.”
– Stuart Godoy, junior, Marathon soccer
“Before a match, when I’m coming up in three or four matches, I start moving around and isolate myself from everyone else. I start my positive self-talk, (and) constantly remind myself as long as I win the positions I need to that the rest will work itself out. One to two matches before, I go down to my singlet and put my headgear on and keep my shirt on. I keep moving and start visualizing the attacks I plan to get to.”
– Jake Ferguson, senior, Key West wrestling

REGIONAL ROYALTY
Four local lifters earn gold
With the most prestigious event in Florida girls weightlifting just one week away, four area athletes punched their tickets to the big show by winning an FHSAA Region 8 title. Winning a region outright is the only sure way to earn a spot in the state championship lineup; other athletes must wait to see how the other regions finish to learn if they make the cut.
Marathon’s Justice Lee Isom did not just outlift her 183-pound class opponents on Jan. 31 at Keys Gate; she destroyed them. Lee Isom won her dual titles by nearly matching her personal best in the clean and jerk, the event which factors into both events’ totals. The 205-pound feat was the only one in any weight class to top 200 pounds and is just two pounds shy of Lee Isom’s own record. She did break one record last week, clearing a 175-pound snatch to help her win the Olympic event by 145 pounds and break her own personal and school record in the process. On bench, the senior strongwoman pressed up 185 pounds to beat her opponents in the traditional event by over 100 pounds and secure her spot at states, where she hopes to strike gold for a third consecutive year.
Coral Shores’ Vanessa Gabriel will make the trip to Lakeland after winning both the Olympic and traditional events in the 1A Region 8 Unlimited competition. Gabriel combined a 130-pound snatch and 195-pound clean and jerk to win the Olympic event by over 50 pounds, then added a 175-pound bench press to her clean and jerk lift to win the traditional event by triple digits. Gabriel will represent the Keys in her weight class in both events to double her hopes of state glory.
Securing automatic tickets to states along with Lee Isom and Gabriel are two more Dolphins. Ella Evans won the traditional event with a monster 155-pound bench, a Herculean feat given her 119-pound weight. Tiny but mighty, Evans added a 145-pound clean and jerk to win the title of top lifter in the traditional competition. Evans finished third in the Olympic event with a 95-pound snatch lift.
The final regional champ, Adelle Bainbridge, picked up her first regional gold medal in the 154-pound Olympic event. Bainbridge combined a 115-pound snatch and 160-pound clean and jerk for the win. Her 130-pound bench press helped seal a bronze medal in the traditional event.
Other medalists in the 1A competition include Marathon’s Nivi De La Torre (Unlimited) with a third-place finish in Olympic and fifth in traditional, her sister Alysa (183) with a fifth in Olympic and sixth in traditional, and Tinashay Cunningham (139), who finished sixth in the Olympic event.
Hurricane medalists include Mira Jones (129) with a bronze in Olympic and fifth in traditional; Lily Ooms (183), who was fourth in Olympic and fifth in traditional; Elaina Kerns (199) with fourth in Olympic and sixth in traditional; and Mallory Hughes, who finished fifth in traditional in the 110-pound class. Karla Guitierrez (154) and Caylyn Gwilliam (169) each finished sixth in their respective traditional competitions to round out the 1A medalists.
Key West, competing in the larger 2A region, picked up a bevy of medals in the regional championship meet. The top finisher for the Conchs was Caylee Moore, who won a pair of silver medals in the 129-pound class. Aaliyah McLeod won dual bronze medals at 199; at 101, Courtney Ward and Althea Olsen each picked up a sixth-place medal. Olsen was sixth in traditional, while Ward was sixth in the Olympic competition.
In past seasons, local lifters who placed as deep as sixth have earned a bid to states, but as the sport’s popularity grows, so does the competition. This year, the only athletes who will be representing the Keys at the state level are those who won regionals outright. Bainbridge and Evans, though each secured a regional title in one event and a third-place finish in the other, did make the cut to represent Marathon in both events, giving the Keys eight different ways to medal in Lakeland.
1. The 183-pound podium is well-represented with Keys athletes. Alyssa De La Torre, far left, and Justice Lee Isom, center, of Marathon, and Coral Shores’ Lily Ooms, far right, all medaled.
2. Marathon’s Justice Lee Isom gets under her personal record 170-pound snatch at regionals on Jan. 31.
3. Adelle Bainbridge stands in the first-place spot on the 154-pound Olympic podium on Jan. 31
4. Hurricane dual-medalist Vanessa Gabriel, fourth from left, stands atop the podium in the Unlimited class at the FHSAA’s 1A Region 8 finals. Marathon’s Nivi De La Torre is at far right.
5. Key West’s Caylee Moore is the 2A Region 8 runner-up in the 129-pound class.
Marathon and Coral Shores’ girls basketball squads each played just one contest last week, and it was against one another. The Hurricanes did the traveling on Jan. 26. The Hurricanes had the upper hand on paper, after defeating the Dolphins at home in December, but this time, both teams traded the lead in a game that went down to the wire.
Coral Shores’ Julia Miranda scored 14 while London Atkins added 13 and Niveah Howard 11. But the strong efforts from the Hurricane five could not overcome the longrange marksmanship of Marathon’s Shaina Robinson, who does not have a blind spot anywhere on the court. Robinson ended with 29 points in the Fins’ big win. Daysi Williams sank 15 and Sutton Sayer chipped in nine in the 56-54 win, which would be both teams’ final regular-season contest.
Marathon remains untested in 1A Rural’s District 8 and will not face another Rural opponent until this week in the semifinal game. First up for the No.3-ranked Fins would have been Frostproof, the sixth seed with just one win this season. Frostproof wanted no part of the Fins and promptly forfeited, giving Marathon a chance to rest prior to their semifinal game at Fort Meade on Feb. 4 (results not available at press time). A win there would place the Dolphins into the district championship contest two days later for a chance at a repeat of last season’s district title.
DOUBLE TROUBLE
Fins boys and girls basketball prevail over ’Canes
Coral Shores, now 5-4, will head into districts with the third seed in FHSAA’S 3A District 16, sending them straight to the semifinals against Miami Killian. The four-team district will not hold quarterfinals this season, making Coral Shores just one game away from a championship matchup.
In the final week of regular-season action, the Lady Conchs played a pair of road games Jan. 30 and 31. Against Gulf Coast, Damarla Thompson registered a double-double with 11 points and boards, while Colleen Barter and Jordan Greene scored six apiece in the 44-32 loss. The following afternoon, Key West traveled to Barron Collier, where they fell to the Cougars 68-40. Lilee Gage had the team high with nine points while Anaiya Marius added seven and Thompson and Reagen Graham scored six each. The Conchs’ 4A District 16 class has just four teams, making quarterfinals unnecessary and giving Key West, the fourth seed, an automatic trip to the semis. They will face the top-seeded Miami Northwestern.
Boys
Marathon closed out their regular season 8-17 after three games in as many days. The Dolphins started at Palmer, where they lost to the Falcons 68-57. Drew Suarez scored 13 points and Josh Koler 12 in the loss. The following night, the Fins outmatched the Hurricanes of Coral Shores, 69-45. Jack Chapman had the hot hand, scoring 21 points, while Koler, Briggs Roberts and Giorvis Zamora each added 13. Koler added three blocks while Zamora grabbed eight rebounds and was credited with five steals in the rivalry win. In their final regular-season contest, Marathon hosted the Defenders of Lake Worth Christian. Chapman scored 15 and Roberts added 9 in the 46-39 loss.

The Dolphins’ record earned them the No. 4 seed in their 1A Rural District 8 bracket. Their first postseason game was a Feb. 3 home matchup with Pahokee (results not available at press time). If the Fins prevail, it will be off to Fort Meade on Thursday, Feb. 5 for the semifinals.
Coral Shores ended their regular season 9-7 after a pair of losses last week. On Jan. 28 the ’Canes fell to St. Brendan 70-40, then lost in Marathon the following night. The Hurricanes hope to pick up steam again in the 3A District 16 playoffs, where they first face Keys Gate in the quarterfinals. Keys Gate is ranked one notch higher than the Hurricanes, but despite the teams are well-matched. The winner of that game faces the top seed, Silver Palms, in the semis.
Key West’s boys did not play last week, enjoying some well-earned rest prior to their district matchup. The Conchs, seeded third, played the sixth seed, South Miami, on Feb. 3 in the 4A District 16 quarterfinals (results not available at press time). A win there would send the 12-10 team to the semis, most likely against St. Brendan School, a squad the Conchs dispatched 64-62 earlier in the season.

GRIT AND GRIND
Wrestlers spend another weekend at high-caliber tournaments
Coral Shores and Marathon wrestlers spent last weekend at the Colby Singletary Memorial Invitational Tournament on Jan. 30 and 31. The annual event in Estero was jam-packed, with 45 teams of all sizes competing. The Hurricanes’ Gavin Matheis went 5-2, finishing in fourth place in the 132-pound division at the event.
Key West opted to compete at the 11th annual Tricounty Invitational at Olympic Heights High School in Boca Raton. There, 38 boys teams and 24 girls teams worked their way through the brackets. Yannesie Corrales finished third after going 3-1 over the tournament. Corrales, who competes in the 170-pound weight class, was the only Lady Conch to medal at the event. Michael Guzman (165) was 4-3 at the tournament, finishing in fourth place, and Allens Alexandre (285) went 4-2 to finish fifth.
The winter season’s longest-lasting sport is beginning to wind down. FHSAA’s 1A District 16 girls wrestling championships are Feb. 12 at Miami’s Coral Park Senior High School. Coral Shores’ Sabrina Demeritt and Marathon’s Autumn Wolfe join the Lady Conchs in the first district showdown in girls wrestling to feature three Keys teams. The boys will compete Feb. 20 at Key West High School.
