AJ

JOHNSON

Senior, Coral Shores Basketball/Weightlifting

AJ always puts his team in front of his own agenda.”

– Andy Thiery, Coral Shores assistant basketball coach

219 11 lb. weight class winner

points

Coral Shores’ AJ Johnson played his final career prep basketball game on Feb. 6, using his athleticism and determination to tie for the team high of 11 points. After returning from the ’Canes’ quarterfinal playoff loss in Miami, the multitalented senior traveled to Marathon the following day and won his weight class in his next sport, weightlifting, where he is a team captain.

Johnson, described by ’Canes basketball coach Andy Thiery as hard-working and never one to complain, was given challenging roles all season and excelled in all of them.

“Throughout the season, he was always asked to guard the other team’s big guy,” Thiery explained. “He never complained, never backed down and was always able to compete because of his strength and determination, no matter how much taller the other guy was.” It is not often that an athlete dominates in two entirely different sports from separate seasons in the same calendar week, let alone on two consecutive days. For this and his teamover-self attitude, Coral Shores’ AJ Johnson is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

Boys weightlifting teams compete in Marathon as ladies prep for states

C

oral Shores made the short trip to Marathon on Feb. 7 for an early-season weightlifting meet. Marathon won both events 4029 in the teams’ second meetup of the season. Boys weightlifting is scored similarly to the girls teams in that there are two events at each meet. Athletes all participate in the clean and jerk competition, and that score is combined with the bench press for the traditional event and snatch for the Olympic event. All winners last week won both events.

Double winners for Coral Shores were Kristers Vutans in the 139-lb. class and AJ Johnson at 219 lbs. For Marathon, Chase Leird (119), Zachary Antonelli (129), Damian Staciewicz (154), Vitalii Konyk (169), Max Childress (183), Tanner Ross (199) and Alex Cruz (238) all won their weight classes in both the traditional and Olympic events.

Both schools will compete again on Valentine’s Day in a tri-meet to be held at Gulliver Prep. Their season culminates with districts, beginning at the end of March.

All three Keys high schools are sending multiple athletes to the FHSAA Girls Weightlifting State Championships this weekend in Lakeland. If the gentlemen prove to be as talented as the ladies, their state championships will be held at the same location in mid-April.

Top: The Key West Conchs boys wrestling team finished its regular season with a second-place finish at the Falcon Invitational.

CONTRIBUTED Right: With a runner-up finish

by Sheyla Figueira, third-place finishes by Emily Nolasco and Natalie Arguello, and a fourthplace finish by Sunisa Kuhn at districts, four Lady Conchs will wrestle for a regional championship. CONTRIBUTED

FOUR LADY CONCHS HEADED TO REGIONALS Three Conchs, one Hurricane notch wins at Falcon Invitational

I

n just the second season of girls wrestling at Key West High School, the Conchs proved they are a force to be reckoned with across South Florida. Four Lady Conchs hit the mats at Miami Coral Park Senior High School for the FHSAA District 16 Championships, and all four earned medals and a bid to regionals next weekend at Bayside High. Sheyla Figueira won silver in the 100-lb. class, making her the top wrestler for Key West on Feb. 10. Emily Nolasco (105) and Natalie Arguello (135) both won bronze, and Sunisa Kuhn (155) brought home the fourth-place medal from the event.

The undersized team came in seventh out of 18 teams with just four athletes competing.

While the Lady Conchs were dominating at districts, Key West and Coral Shores sent their boys to the Falcon Invitational at Jensen Beach.

Coral Shores’ Steven DeRobertis was the top grappler for the ’Canes, winning the 106-lb. class and bringing home a first-place medal for his efforts. Sebastian McCoy (113), Sterling Keefe (132) and Devin Smith (138)

each won the runner-up spot in their weight classes. Jacob Ferguson (113) and Kevin Perez (165) won bronze, and Jeremiah Ortiz (132) and Tristan Court (150) took fourth. Andrew Guevara won fifth place in the 150-lb. bracket. Coral Shores scored enough points to place fourth overall at the meet.

Key West had a trio of winners last weekend in James Searcy (138), Alfredo Corrales (157) and Ralph Riche (285). Elvis Garcia and Prometheus Delacerda took second and third in the 120-lb. class, respectively.

Dostmukhammad Bakhtiyorov (144) and Tristan Yoloyama (215) were the runners-up in their classes. Abram Canet was fourth at 126 and Corey Johnson was fifth at 285. The Conchs’ victories were enough to claim second place overall at the meet, just in time for districts. The Conchs and ’Canes will both vie for the championship Feb. 15 at Coral Shores High School in both teams’ march toward states, held in Kissimmee at the end of the month and running into early March.

LEGENDS OF THE

BAT

Sean McDonald breaks down top batting averages in storied history of Conch baseball

I

n a town like Key West, baseball isn’t just a game; it’s a way of life. At Key West High School, the diamond is where dreams are made and legends are born. Just to appear on the varsity roster for the Conchs can be a challenging goal, but to stand out on a team of standouts with a storied history of some of the greatest ball players anywhere, it takes a combination of hard work, dedication and athleticism with a healthy dose of luck and a touch of magic. This week, just before the first pitch of the regular season is tossed, we look back at the top hitters whose prowess with the bat made them local legends. Hitters are ranked by batting average during their best season at KWHS.

All photos CONTRIBUTED

KHALIL GREENE (.500): At the top of the list stands Khalil Greene, a natural athlete with a swing so smooth it seemed almost effortless.

In the spring of 1998, Greene stepped up to the plate and delivered a season for the ages, boasting an unbelievable batting average of .500 – made more impressive given the top competition Key West faces each season.

Greene went on to play for Clemson University, where he was named Collegiate Baseball Player of the Year his senior season. He was then drafted by the San Diego Padres and enjoyed a remarkable career which still brings pride to the Southernmost City.

BEN HARRISON AND PRESTON HERCE (.494): Right beside Greene in the record books is teammate Ben Harrison (above), a powerhouse hitter whose bat matched none but Greene’s. In the same season Khalil broke the legendary Conchs hitting record, Harrison and Greene went stride-for-stride in a march toward the state championships, which Key West secured, no doubt in part due to their pair of deadly hitters. At the end of the season, when the red clay dust settled and Key West was basking in the glory of yet another state title, Harrison’s .494 average earned him the number two spot on the Conchs’ all-time hitters list. He then enjoyed a stellar four-year career as a Gator at the University of Florida and was drafted by the Texas Rangers.

The Key West dynasty is not exclusive to the distant past. During the 2022 season, Preston Herce matched Harrison’s numbers, hitting an impressive .494 for Key West. Herce is currently playing collegiate baseball at Pensacola State College, where he is not finished writing his own history just yet.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 / KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP

JOHN “BOOG” POWELL (.489): The next name on the list does hail from an earlier era. John “Boog” Powell’s .489 average in 1959 gave pitchers across Florida a run for their money. Powell did not just hit often – he hit hard and he hit far, but that’s for another top 10.

Often considered the greatest ballplayer to come out of Key West, Powell had a long and successful career in MLB, playing for the Orioles, Indians and Dodgers. He is a two-time World Series champ, four-time All Star and was named the American League MVP in 1970.

RALPHIE HENRIQUEZ (.478): Ralphie Henriquez had an amazing 2005 season with the Conchs, then had a long professional baseball career after being drafted in the second round by the Houston Astros. When he hung up his MLB bat, Henriquez returned home to coach for his alma mater and develop the future hitters who just may surpass his .478 mark one day.

RICHIE PAZO AND DARREN MILLS (.479): These legends of the ’70s and ’90s, respectively, each hit .479 in dominant seasons at bat for the Conchs. Pazo (above) played baseball at University of Miami while Mills started his baseball career at Indian River Community College, finishing at Florida Atlantic.

DEXTER BUTLER (.473): The Conchs’ current head basketball coach and son of a Key West hardwood legend, Dexter Butler was one of the hardest, most consistent hitters Key West ever saw.

Butler had a very successful college baseball career as a starter at University of South Florida, also playing one season at Nova Southeastern.

He hit .473 in 2004 for Key West, earning the No. 6 spot on the list of historical Conch batters.

JEFF HOLMES (.466): In spot No. 7 is Jeff Holmes, who hit .466 in the 1973 season.

FRANKIE RATCLIFF JR. (.465): Just behind Holmes is Frankie Ratcliff Jr. with a .465 average in 2008.

ONERI DAVID FLEITA, CRAIG LARIZ, AND STEVEN WELLS JR. (.458): Sharing the No. 9 position is a trio of heavy hitters, all batting a substantial .458 for one season each. Oneri David Fleita did it in 1983, Craig Lariz matched him in 1996, and then Steven Wells Jr. (above right) did it in 2014, giving each a place in Key West’s history.

MIGUEL MENENDEZ (.457): In 1994, Miguel Menendez hit .457 to secure the final spot on the list of all-time greats. As a Conch, Menendez helped lead Key West to a state title in 1995. He then went on to the University of Tampa and won an NCAA Division II national title in 1998.

He returned to Key West, spending time at the helm as the head baseball coach at Key West High School. He is now the head coach at Tampa Jesuit, where he led his team to a state championship in 2019 and the runner-up spot in 2017.

Only time will tell if Menendez is bumped from the top 10, but it is a certainty that a roster of young men will be doing their best to make it into the annals of Conch history this spring.

Key West loss to Gulliver Prep ends hoops season for all Monroe County teams

K

ey West’s boys played their quarterfinal district game against the Knights of Miami Sunset on Feb. 6, winning 58-38. DeMarcus Deroche scored the game-high 20 points, with James Osborne adding 19. Kameron Roberts was good for 10 and David Aviles added 9 more to the Conchs’ score. The win last Tuesday gave the Conchs a chance to continue and pitted them against top seed Gulliver Prep on Feb. 8. Key West lost 72-55 in that game, ending its season with a solid 11-12 record on the backs of a young, but now seasoned, team.

Key West’s roster did not include a single senior this year, with sophomores a majority of their bench, making for an exciting future for the Conchs.

The Lady Conchs lost their district opener against Gulliver 55-35, closing out their season with a record of 0-16.

The young team lists just two seniors on the roster, giving them the off season to continue to grow and develop in the coming months.

Marathon’s district seed forced a play-in game on Feb. 5 to see who would earn a spot in the quarterfinals. The Fins upended Everglades Prep 60-43 to earn a shot at a playoff run the following night. Junior Carlos Lezcano led the charge for Marathon with 17 points. Adrian Cruz followed up with 15 and Jack Chapman added 8 in the win.

In the quarterfinals, Marathon faced top-ranked Riviera Prep, a school ranked No. 1 in 3A and fourth overall in the state across all divisions. The Bulldogs proved they did not receive their rankings without merit, clobbering the Fins 10126. Marathon finished its season 7-19, and though half the bench will graduate in 2024, many key contributors will be on the roster next season, including several underclassmen and a pair of eighth graders, ensuring a solid program for years to come.

The Lady Fins faced Westminster Christian on Feb. 5 in their quarterfinal game. Marathon lost the game 48-31, effectively ending their season with an even 10-10 record. The Dolphins graduate just one senior in Kayesha Christian this year, setting them up for a successful campaign next year.

Top: Though the Lady ’Canes will lose seniors Brooke Mandozzi (3) and Makayla Hahn (1) to graduation, they’ll return a healthy group of sophomores and juniors, including Abby Vogt (24), Jazmyn Blassio (5), and Leah Castellanos (2) in 2024-25.

1 The Coral Shores boys basketball team had a familiar foe in its quarterfinal district playoff game Feb. 6. The Hurricanes faced the Stallions of Somerset Silver Palms, an opponent they played a week prior. The ’Canes lost to the Stallions 66-47, but managed to narrow the deficit from their prior matchup by nine points. A trio of Hurricanes scored 11 points each, including Donovan Thiery, Ayden Lane and AJ Johnson. Isaac Rivera added 6 points in the ’Canes’ final game of the season. Coral Shores finished with a 7-13 record, and though the Hurricanes were a senior-heavy team, Thiery and Lane both return to the hardwood next season as well as Noah Myers, who began to shine in the late season, and AJ Putetti, who missed a majority of this season with an injury.

The Lady ’Canes were dominant this season, but a 55-19 loss at the hands of Somerset South Homestead ended their hopes for an extended run into the playoffs. Coral Shores won their quarterfinal game against Keys Gate on Feb. 5, 48-11, but their semifinal opponent on Feb. 7 proved too talented to overcome. The ’Canes earned a 13-6 record, and despite losing seniors Makayla Hahn and 1,000-point club member Brooke Mandozzi, they will return a deep bench full of talented juniors for the 2024-25 season.
