THE SCOREBOARD

ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Fabbianho Louis

Junior, Marathon Football

THIS WEEK IN KEYS SPORTS ON

10 12 yards per carry tackles

In his first season of football, Marathon junior Fabbianho “Fab” Louis Jeune has been tearing it up for the Fins on offense, defense and special teams. The 6’2”, 185-pound defensive back and wide receiver has made countless key plays for Marathon this season, with the most memorable thus far being last week’s buzzerbeating interception to seal Marathon’s victory against Florida Christian. Louis Jeune averaged nearly 10 yards per carry in the game and amassed a dozen tackles defensively. In addition to his starting roles on offense and defense, Fab is the team’s kicker and punter.

On the field, Louis Jeune is a menace to any team he faces, but elsewhere, he is one of the kindest, friendliest students in the school. “Fab embodies sportsmanship and is a fantastic all-around athlete,” said McDonald. For his contributions to Marathon on and off the field, Fabbianho Louis Jeune is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

Fab is an asset to this team. When we need to get something started, he is there ready to make things happen.”

— Sean McDonald, Marathon head coach

MOMENTUM ON THE RISE FOR HURRICANES

Coral Shores improved to 9-4 last week, paving the way for a postseason run. After handing Mater Bay a 3-0 loss on the road last week, the Lady ’Canes were back at home in an all-out battle against Westwood Christian School on Sept. 28.

The Warriors entered the contest with six wins and proved their record was not a fluke in the back-andforth gameplay, which took five sets to settle. The Hurricanes entered the game short-handed, without three of their key athletes. Sabina Naranjo, Lily Hitchcock and Violet Matthews were all unable to play in an emotional senior night that head coach Sam Ovalle and coach Jarrod Mandozzi will not soon forget.

Before the match, the Lady ’Canes honored senior captains Iona Holmquist, Crystal Gutierrez-Sandoval and Brooke Mandozzi, all four-year players in the program and key contributors for Coral Shores.

“I knew tonight was going to be an emotional night. These three girls mean so much to the program and me personally,” said Mandozzi. “They are our captains for a reason and they are all just such special young ladies and great leaders and examples for our younger girls.” Though he and Ovalle would have preferred a less formidable opponent for senior night, the athletes stepped up and took care of business, beating Westwood 3-2.

The Hurricanes won the first two sets, but Westwood battled back to tie it up 2-2. With the emotions of senior night and some less experienced players in the mix, Coral Shores could easily have let the game slip away, but instead, they regrouped and defeated Westwood with resolve in the final set.

“I’m just so proud of this team. We got great games from a number of our girls, starting with our seniors,” said Ovalle. “Sofia Jans played so well tonight for us at libero, and we did a good job of getting into our offense with Grace Leffler, Deandra (Valverde) and Brooke having great games tonight. This was Deandra’s best game so far for us. That’s exciting because she’s been working so hard and she can really add another dimension for us on offense.”

Coral Shores will be busy in the final week of regular season play, with two road games against Keys Gate and a rematch with Westwood, then a series of tournament action in Orlando at the Bishop Moore Swing for a Cure Varsity Invitational.

Marathon upped its record to 2-10 with a decisive win over Dade Christian School. The Fins made short work of the Crusaders at home on Sept. 25, sweeping the sets 25-11, 2518 and 25-15.

Coach Kelley Cruz was impressed with the play of hitters Elena Eubank and Jasmine Keomaniboth, along with setter Jordan MacDonald. Cruz and the Lady Fins have been keeping their focus aimed at postseason play, which begins in Florida on Oct. 16.

“What kept us in the match was setting goals of what I would like to see in a district game,” Cruz said. The team rose to meet her expectations, and as they complete their regular season, Marathon will face both of its Keys rivals as well as Westwood Christian and Posnack School. With their play improving and their tempo picking up, the Fins have a great shot at improving their record further, just in time for districts.

Key West traveled to the Florida Christian Volleyball Tournament on Sept. 29 and 30. The Conchs lost both sets against True North Classical Academy on Friday night, then took on 5A Reagan High School on Saturday morning. Key West lost the first set, then dug deep and won the next two to defeat the Bisons. The 5-13 Conchs have continued to work against larger teams outside their district bracket in order to gain the experience necessary to compete at the highest level. They will find out whether the high-caliber regular season paid off beginning Oct. 12, as the 4A District 16 playoff bracket begins to determine a champion.

PACE NO ISSUE FOR MARATHON RUNNERS

Dolphins claim 14 top20 spots at Pace High School meet

Marathon was the only Keys cross country team to participate in competition last week, traveling to Pace on Sept. 26. The Fins capitalized on their trip, bringing home 14 top-20 places between the girls and boys teams. Vance, Tony and Jakub Bursa took the top three overall places at the event. Vance finished in 16:51, beating out his younger brother by nearly two minutes. Tony crossed the finish line in second place in 18:49, followed by older brother Jakub two seconds later.

As if sweeping the podium was not enough for Marathon, Mason Buxton crossed in 11th place, followed by brothers Caleb and Dillon Shelar in 12th and 13th and Allan Taylor in 16th place. The boys’ incredible finish secured first place at the meet, which hosted a dozen teams in the boys division.

The girls team fared nearly as well, taking second place overall out of nine teams. Mikkel Ross finished first for the Dolphins in 22:21, which was fast enough for second place overall. Ella Dunn was next, finishing seventh overall in 24:32, with Rain Banks right on her heels in eighth place. Also earning top-20 status were Madelyn Thornton in 12th, Maeve Merryman in 14th, and Rebecca Merryman and Rilynn Richards in 19th and 20th, respectively.

Key West had a planned week off, while Coral Shores had a scheduling issue and had to settle for a week of rest, which may just be beneficial in their next meetup. The Fins, ’Canes and Conchs are all scheduled to race at the Larry Wooten Invitational on Thursday, Oct. 5. All three teams are working on a balance between rest and racing in preparation for postseason competition, which begins with districts for FHSAA 2A Key West and Coral Shores on Nov. 1, and for 1A Marathon the following day.

Medalists for the firstplace Marathon boys cross country team on Sept. 26 included, from left, Tony Bursa (2nd), Caleb Shelar (12th), Dillon Shelar (13th), Vance Bursa (1st), Mason Buxton (11th) and Jakub Bursa (3rd). JEFF SHELAR/Contributed

CONCH SWIMMERS MAKE A SPLASH AT FSPA District

competition within sight

Key West made its annual trip to the FSPA Invitational in Orlando on Sept. 29 and 30. More than 30 teams from across the state participated in the event, and with less than three weeks before districts begin, the competition was a perfect opportunity for the Conchs to gauge their skills against the best the state has to offer.

Multiple Key West relay teams placed in the top 10, including the girls 200 yard medley relay (9th) and both the boys (9th) and girls (8th) 200 yard freestyle relay teams. Individual swimmers to claim top 10 honors were Colbie Turner, who placed 5th in the girls 100 yard butterfly, and Hadley Bardoni, who touched the wall 7th in the 200 Yard IM.

Key West will participate in the FHSAA 2A District 12 meet at Gulliver Prep on Oct. 18. Coral Shores will hit the pool at Ransom Everglades for the 1A competition on Oct. 19. The Hurricane divers will compete on the following day.

MARATHON EDGES FLORIDA CHRISTIAN WITH GOAL-LINE INTERCEPTION

54th Battle of the Keys set for Oct. 6

Marathon earned its second win of the season in front of a packed house on Sept. 29, defeating the Patriots of Florida Christian in a game that had fans from both sides on the edge of their seats until the final buzzer. Florida Christian came out strong, scoring 6 in the first quarter and keeping the Fins off the scoreboard. Alejandro “Astro” Gonzalez managed to get a hand on the point-after attempt, making the score 6-0 at the end of quarter one.

Marathon found its groove in the second quarter, scoring a pair of rushing TDs, both from Braulio Garcia. Fab Louis Jeune was perfect in his PATs, putting the Fins ahead 14-6. Florida Christian scored once more before halftime, but was unable to complete a two-point conversion attempt, making the score 14-12 at the half.

A second-half defensive battle ended with the Patriots on the 5-yard line with less than a minute to go in the game. A series of incredible defensive plays and a few penalties pushed Florida Christian back a bit, but with 20 seconds left in the game, it looked as if a TD was inevitable. Florida Christian’s QB tossed a ball into the end zone, intended for a receiver whose hands were within inches of the gameending score, but Marathon’s Louis Jeune leaped with an outstretched hand and intercepted the ball, turning it over to the Fins and sealing the win.

Key West knew what they faced last Friday against Fort Myers’ Bishop Verot. The team is ranked third in its class in the state, remains undefeated and has yet to end a game without scoring at least 40 points.

Prior to the contest, head coach Johnny Hughes said, “We will have to be perfect if we want a win against Verot.” Unfortunately for the Conchs, the upset win was not in the stars, but what they did have going for them was a long

Walson Morin touchdown run. The sophomore running back has been coming into his own the past few games, adding a spark to Key West’s offensive game. Morin used his speed and evasiveness to take one to the house, adding 6 points on the kick return to the Conchs’ score. Despite Walson’s spectacular running, Key West was unable to overtake the Vikings, falling 55-14. “They were as advertised,” Hughes said. “I’m pleased with the effort of our team against a team like that.”

Key West will continue its road trip series Friday, Oct. 6 against South Fork High School. Though Hughes has not seen film of the Bulldogs in action, they are ranked similarly to the Conchs.

“It’s a must-win,” Hughes said of the South Fork game. Key West will need to add a few more wins to its record to earn a playoff spot. The Conchs definitely have the strength of schedule factor covered in FHSAA rankings, and a few wins at the end of their season should secure a coveted invite to postseason play.

Coral Shores faced Ransom Everglades at home last week. The undefeated Raiders made short work of Marathon the week prior and have been doing the same to teams across Miami-Dade all season. The Hurricanes fed off the energy of a lively, spirited crowd and came as close as any team has to taking down Ransom all season.

“There’s a reason they’re the number one offense in Dade County,” head coach Ed Holly said of Ransom.

The plan was to hold the ball and keep it out of the hands of nationally-ranked Ransom quarterback Niemann Lawrence. Though the ’Canes held the Raiders to their lowest offensive output of the season en route to Ransom’s smallest margin of victory thus far, Coral Shores fell just short of the win, 27-22.

Offensively, Dantay Diorio put up two rushing touchdowns and had 144 all-purpose yards for the ’Canes, with AJ Putetti adding some hard-earned runs. Holly had high praise for center Hugh Connolly and tackle Xico Reynoso for making some big blocks in the middle. But for now, all eyes are on the next game.

On Thursday, Oct. 5, Coral Shores and Marathon will continue the longest-standing rivalry in Monroe County sports when they face off in Marathon for the 54th time. The ’Canes have the slight edge in the series, with 28 wins to Marathon’s 25, including a five-game win streak against the Fins. Coral Shores has also put more points on the board against shared opponents. Adding to Coral Shores’ advantage is a larger school, bigger roster and older, more experienced squad. But don’t count the Dolphins out just yet – their scrappy, neversay-die play is just the type of thing which inspires people to root for an underdog. The Fins will also enjoy home-field advantage and the momentum of a last-second interception to win their latest game. Regardless of which team they cheer for, this is a game anyone residing from Big Pine to Key Largo will not want to miss. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. at MHS.

Marathon’s Makenna Haines, Key West’s Althea Olsen and Parker Curry, and Coral Shores’ Sasha Mater rounded out the leaderboard on Sept. 29. In Key West, Claudia Steling enjoyed the home-course advantage, taking second that day followed by Thomas, O’Hearn, Olsen and Finigan.

Keys golfers have two regular season matches left, the first on Oct. 5 and then on the 12th, both in Key West before heading to districts in mid October.
