Coral Shores defeats Key West, Somerset Silver Palms to remain perfect in 3A District 16

’CANES KEEP ROLLING

he Lady ’Canes volleyball squad blew into the Southernmost City on Sept. 9 and returned home with win No. 12, defeating Key West in straight sets. The Conchs kept the matchup competitive, but Coral Shores prevailed 25-19, 25-20 and 25-17 to secure its second 3A District 16 victory of the season. Coralyn Frimpter led the Hurricanes’ attack with 12 kills and added 10 digs for a double-double. Celene Walker registered nine kills, eight digs, two aces and an assist, while Jillian Thiery contributed four kills and an ace. Abby Leigh directed the offense with 23 assists to go with 11 digs, four aces and three kills. She was perfect from the service line, as was Alex Burson, who finished with 12 digs and three assists. Bella Villalba added two aces and four digs. Though the Conchs could not find the rhythm they displayed at the previous weekend’s tournament, Key West coach Kim Butler credited her players for continuing to battle. “Even though they struggled with their consistency, they did try to fight through it,” Butler said. Miriam McManus did a solid job setting despite difficult passes, while Olivia Graham provided the Conchs with a productive service run. Gabi Pichardo also finished the match with a positive hitting percentage. Coral Shores returned home the following night for another district contest, defeating Somerset Silver Palms 3-1 behind a devastating and balanced offensive attack. Frimpter delivered one of her strongest performances of the season, pounding 19 kills while adding 11 digs, two aces and a block. Walker was equally effective with 17 kills, nine digs and two aces. Together, the two combined for 36 kills. Leigh handed out 34 assists while collecting 11 digs, five kills

and an ace. Burson shored up the back row with 17 digs and added six assists and two aces,Villalba added a pair of aces, four kills, an assist, a block and two digs while Thiery served four aces and contributed two kills. “Our girls took on Somerset Silver Palms and continued to show their fight and determination on the court,” Hurricanes head coach Sam Ovalle said. “I’m proud of the effort they continue to put in and the way they keep working together as a team.” Following the pair of district victories, Coral Shores improved to 13-3 overall and a perfect 3-0 in 3A District 16 play with just under a month remaining in the regular season. Marathon split a pair of matches last week, rebounding from a 3-1 loss to Pinecrest on Sept. 10 with a decisive 3-0 victory over Colonial Christian the following night. Shaina Robinson was the bright spot for the Dolphins against Pinecrest, hammering 20 kills to keep Marathon competitive. She delivered another strong performance against Colonial Christian, registering nine kills and serving six aces to help propel the Fins to the sweep. Marathon also applied plenty of pressure from the service line in the win. Kaya Hughes-Struyf served five aces and Ashley Strama added four. At the net, Bella Childress contributed five kills and a block. “We had a great bounce-back win over Colonial on Friday after not playing our greatest against Pinecrest,” Marathon head coach Kevin Freeman said. “It was good to see how the team reacted after that loss. Hopefully, we can build from there.” Up next, the Conchs and Dolphins travel to Wesley Chapel for the Florida Gem High School Tournament at Wiregrass Ranch Sports Campus on Sept. 18 and 19, while Coral Shores stays closer to home for a clash of the ’Canes at Somerset South Homestead.

A WEEK OF WHAT-IFS

Penalties and late scores derail comeback bids for Conchs, Fins

ey West traveled to Delray Beach on Sept. 10, where an early deficit and a series of costly penalties ultimately proved too much to overcome in a 26-13 football loss to American Heritage. The Stallions struck for several long pass plays and capitalized on favorable field position to build an 18-0 advantage. A blocked punt presented American Heritage with another short field, allowing the Stallions to begin one possession at the Key West 21-yard line. American Heritage’s quarterback was particularly effective when targeting receivers deep in Conchs territory. “I give that kid credit,” Key West head coach Johnny Hughes said. “He could just put a dot there on the pylon. He was good.” After the difficult start, the Conchs found their footing and began chipping away at the lead. Matthew Oviedo put Key West on the scoreboard with a 4-yard touchdown run, and Chace Gaertner followed with a scoring run of more than 50 yards. The pair of touchdowns pulled Key West within five points, 18-13, by halftime.

Hughes credited his defense with playing well overall, but a handful of untimely mistakes and explosive plays proved costly. The Conchs appeared poised to close the gap further during a promising second-half possession. Key West initially reached the end zone, only to have the touchdown erased by a penalty. The Conchs worked their way back to the Stallions’ 1-yard line, but an offsides call pushed them backward before an additional 15-yard penalty moved them out of the red zone. Key West came away from the possession without points. American Heritage added eight points in the second half to secure the 26-13 victory and deny the Conchs’ comeback attempt. Key West will have little time to recover from Thursday night’s physical contest. A previously postponed matchup with Miami Jackson was rescheduled for Sept. 14, followed by another road game at St. Brendan on Sept. 18. The demanding stretch requires the Conchs to play three games in nine days, with the final two serving as district matchups. “We got out there and practiced Friday and Saturday so we could be ready for Monday,” Hughes said. “It was tough.

game was physical, so we were banged up a bit, but we got out there.” Marathon’s annual tribute to the lives lost in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 led to packed stands and a patriotic display that brought the community together. Miniature American flags — 2,977, one for each life lost a quarter-century ago — lined the stadium. The Dolphins hosted Evangelical Christian of Fort Myers, and the Sentinels quickly put the Dolphins in a difficult position, scoring three times in the opening half and sending Marathon into the break trailing 21-0. Coming into the second half, excited fans saw a display of determination from a Dolphin team unwilling to go quietly. Three consecutive personal fouls against the Sentinels gave Marathon excellent field position, and senior Jesus Gonzalez capitalized with the Dolphins’ first touchdown of the night. The Dolphins defense provided a crucial stop, and sophomore Ben VanderLee kept the momentum on Marathon’s side with an onside-kick recovery. Mathew Machado followed with another Marathon touchdown, putting the Fins suddenly within striking distance of completing the comeback. The Sentinels had other ideas, though, and reclaimed the momentum while adding several late scores to pull away for a 46-14 victory. Despite the loss, the Dolphins found success on the ground, piling up 294 rushing yards on 34 carries for an average of 8.6 yards per attempt. Jesus Gonzalez led the attack with 111 yards on 12 carries. Israel Gonzalez added 60 yards on four attempts, while Machado carried six times for 57 yards. Garrett Ruddy added 25 ground yards, and Aiden Lezcano contributed 31 yards on eight attempts. Jeremy Thiboutot led Marathon defensively with six total tackles. Machado registered four, Jesus Gonzalez added three and Israel Gonzalez delivered one of the defense’s biggest plays with a sack. “We did not play up to our standard Friday night. We made mistakes and didn’t execute consistently enough to win this one,” said Marathon’s head coach, Sean McDonald. “Our players continued to fight and we need to learn from this, improve and get ready for John I. Leonard.” Marathon will have another communitycentered event this week, with the official naming of the Michael H. Puto Stadium, in honor of “Mr. Marathon.” Puto’s lifelong support of the Dolphins will be recognized at halftime of the game, where the Fins host the Lancers of John I. Leonard High School with an early 5 p.m. kickoff. Coral Shores had an unexpected bye week last week after Marco Island Academy opted to stay home. The Manta Rays explained that they did not have enough athletes to complete a game despite a 62-0 win the week prior. The Hurricanes, now rested and hungry for action, face Glades Day at home on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. Coming soon will be a game both Coral Shores’ head coach Ed Holly and McDonald have circled on their calendars. The Battle of the Keys takes place on Hurricane soil this year and is scheduled for Oct. 2. The ’Canes lead the long-standing series 31-25.

SWEEPING SUCCESS

Key West swimmers dominate Westminster Christian

ey West swimmers defended their home waters on Sept. 12, sweeping Westminster Christian in both the boys and girls competitions at the College of the Florida Keys pool. The Lady Conchs won six of the meet’s 11 girls events to defeat Westminster 9278, while the Key West boys combined eight event victories with multiple sweeps of the top three positions to dominate their side, 113-49. Christina Rice led the Key

West girls with victories in both sprint freestyle events. Rice won the 50-yard freestyle in 26.23 seconds before completing the sweep with a 58.05 in the 100 free. Rice, Houze and Korzen joined Molly Martinez to win a pair of relays. The foursome opened the meet with a winning time of 2:13 in the 200 medley relay, then reunited to capture the 200 freestyle relay in 2:02. The Key West boys used depth on their rosters to take control of the meet, sweeping the top three places in four

individual events. Santiago Gonzalez won the 200 freestyle in 2:01 and later led a Conch sweep of the 100 free with a winning time of 54.12 seconds. Hugo Blinckmann placed second in 56.48 seconds, followed by Mason Lark in third at 58.66. Hugo Blinckmann gave Key West another victory in the 50 free, touching the wall in 24.07 seconds. Max Blinckmann finished just behind him in 24.22, and Filip Hrabec completed the sweep in 25.21. Haven Andrade won the 100 butterfly in 1:02.85, fol-

lowed by Andres Aguero in second and Cole Lindley in third. Blake Southgate led another Conch sweep in the 100 backstroke, winning in 1:13.39 ahead of Carson Lindley and Mark Jones. Key West also won all three boys relay events. Southgate, Hrabec, Andrade and Max Blinckmann opened the meet with a 1:57 victory in the 200 medley relay. Hugo and Max Blinckmann then teamed with Hrabec and Gonzalez to win the 200 freestyle relay in 1:38. The Conchs closed the

meet in winning fashion as the Blinckmanns, Lark and Gonzalez completed the 400 freestyle relay in 3:43, more than 15 seconds ahead of Westminster.

KING OF THE HILL Wheatley, Burns lead Keys runners with top-ﬁve ﬁnishes at Tropical Park

arathon and Coral Shores traveled to the annual King of the Hill race at Tropical Park in Miami on Sept. 10. Mother Nature did her best to put a damper on the event, but after a round of lightning delays, runners finally toed the line. And while the newly crowned King and Queen did not hail from the Keys, Monroe County had a solid showing with a pair of local athletes placing in the top five. Coral Shores’ Ali Wheatley and Marathon’s Lucian Burns each raced to fourthplace finishes in their respective fields. Wheatley crossed the line in 20:54, while Burns completed the course in 17:14. Burns led the Marathon boys to a seventh-place finish in the 29-team field. Teammate Tony Bursa was next for the Fins, placing 23rd in 18:17. Allan Taylor, Brayden Anderson and Landon Anderson rounded out Marathon’s top five in a race featuring nearly 350 male runners.

Coral Shores finished 12th in the boys team standings. Victor Lopez led the Hurricanes, crossing the line in 19:53 to finish 57th overall. Wyatt Meyers, Will Thies, Tristan Sanchez and Garrett Gomila made up the remainder of Coral Shores’ top five. On the girls side, Wheatley’s fourthplace performance helped Coral Shores to an 11th-place finish among 23 teams. Kate King was the next Hurricane across the line, followed by Aria Booton, Isabelle Jacobs and Tess Hill. Marathon finished 16th in the girls team competition, led by Molly Joly, who turned in a 22-minute race to place 12th overall. Ariella Dworniczak, Rebecca Merryman, June McKnight and Sophia Roberts rounded out the Dolphins’ scoring five. Key West had a break from competition last week, but all three Monroe County programs will kick it back into gear Sept. 18 at South County Regional Park for the Spanish River meet.
