ON THE COVER For the first time in school history, Key West High School is home to a state champion swimmer with AJ Smith’s gold medal performance in the 50 free. See page 4. GRACE ANDREW/Keys Weekly

For the first time in school history, a Conch swimmer is a state champion, and that swimmer is Key West’s AJ Smith. Chosen as our Athlete of the Week a little over a month ago for breaking the school record in his best event, the 50 free, Smith managed to re-break the record twice more since his previous honor. In addition, he returned from regionals with a gold medal and the top seed in the 50 at states. Smith balanced the pressure with his usual relentless work ethic and did what he was predicted to do: claim a state title for the southernmost swim team and earn a spot on the Conch Wall of Fame in the school’s gymnasium.

For his unwavering commitment to his team and sport and for putting Key West swimming on the map, AJ Smith is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

SOLID GOLD AJ Smith is Key West’s first state champion swimmer

O

n Nov. 3, Key West senior AJ Smith made school history, re-breaking his own school record in the 50 freestyle event at the FHSAA Florida swimming state championships. Smith’s 20.89-second effort was the fastest time in the pool, making him the 2A state champion in the event.

Smith is the first swimmer in the Conchs’ rich history to bring home state gold, and the 2023 season marked his second trip to the state meet. Last season he placed 10th in the same event. Smith’s dedication to his sport and rock-solid work ethic made the difference this year.

Longtime Conchs coach Lori Bosco’s pride in her senior captain is twofold.

“He definitely put in all the hard work,” she said. “He’s always thinking about the rest of the team and he leads by example. He wanted to show the rest of the team that they could achieve their goals, too. We are all very proud of him.”

Smith has not decided on whether he will pursue swimming at the collegiate level, but his coach said he is keeping his mind open.

“This has definitely opened some doors for him,” Bosco said.

The phenom also qualified for the 100 free at the state meet, held at the Ocala Florida Aquatics Swimming and Training (FAST) Center. His preliminary time was fast enough to qualify for a chance to bring home a second medal, but a false start in the finals disqualified him from the event.

“He’s always thinking about the rest of the team and he leads by example. He wanted to show the rest of the team that they could achieve their goals, too. We are all very proud of him.” ­— coach Lori Bosco

Coral Shores sent four athletes to the 1A state championships, also held at FAST, on Nov. 4. Junior Abbie Sargent qualified for the meet in the individual 100 breaststroke race as well as the 200 yard medley relay with Layne Smith, Allegra Fucaraccio and Riley Cooper.

Sargent ended in 21st place in the 100 breaststroke, and the relay team suffered an early takeoff, disqualifying them from the race. All four athletes are highly decorated after an impressive showing at both districts and regionals, and will likely continue to improve next season.

Their training is extensive and includes open-water distance swims “for the fun of it.” Earlier this fall, Smith became the youngest solo swimmer in the eight-mile Swim for Alligator Lighthouse, placing second in the women’s division, while Cooper and Sargent were part of the winning relay team in the event.

THAT’S A WRAP

T

he Key West Conchs came very close to upsetting Archbishop McCarthy’s perfect season on Nov. 3, but a sluggish start in the second half would prove too much to overcome. Key West struck first, then traded touchdowns with McCarthy in a back-and-forth game.

At halftime, Key West was down 14-13 despite the physical mismatch of the teams.

In quarter three, the Conchs had four failed offensive series, including three turned over on downs and one interception. Refusing to say die and down 34-13, the Conchs began executing, and a comeback seemed possible as they racked up 34 points throughout the remainder of the game.

In all, four Conchs crossed the goal line, as Adrian Mira, Clerff Alexandre and Jaden Fox scored one touchdown each and Walson Morin scored twice.

“We ran out of time,” head coach Johnny Hughes said of the 51-47 loss.

The Conchs closed their season at 3-7, but as Hughes explained to his team, “if 10 or 11 plays had different outcomes, it’s a 7-3 season.”

“We were physically outmanned against McCarthy,” he told the Weekly. “We’re going to spend some time in the

weight room this offseason and get to where we need to be.”

Key West had a season beleaguered with turnovers, with 22 in the first four games alone. Later in the season, minor injuries began to pile up, testing the depth of the team. While the Conchs had a dozen seniors on their roster, the younger players had plenty of opportunities to earn time on the field this year.

“We didn’t have a JV this year. We had nine freshmen on the varsity team instead, and they all ended up playing,” Hughes said. The experience gained by the freshmen as well as “a talented sophomore class and some really strong juniors” should spell success for Key West in the 2024 season.

The Dolphins traveled to Harris Field in Homestead on Nov. 3 to play their final game of the season. Across the line of scrimmage were the Hurricanes of Somerset South Homestead. On their opening drive, the Fins did what they do best: controlling the clock and holding the ball as long as they could.

Marathon marched down the field on a 70-yard drive, capped off with an 11-yard Braulio Garcia touchdown run. All systems pointed toward a win with the Fins moving the ball at will and managing decent chunks of yardage for their first possession.

Two plays later, the score was tied up, and Marathon’s hopes began to ebb. A turnover further set the Fins back, and the Hurricanes scored again just moments into the second quarter.

Down 14-7, Marathon got back to work on offense, but

an interception returned the ball to the Hurricanes, who were given a first-and-goal scenario. The ’Canes quickly scored not once, but twice, with both TDs being called back on penalties. The Fins’ defense held strong, and a series of big defensive plays, including an Eddie Garcia sack, put the Hurricanes on the 50-yard line in a third-and-47 situation.

But Somerset managed to dig themselves out of their mess and scored on the next play. Marathon was able to stop the Hurricanes from capitalizing on the extra point, making the score 20-7.

With 7:40 to go in the half, the Fins were driving again, but a fumble recovered by Somerset gave them a quick extra 6 along with a 2-point conversion. One more turnover in the first half led to a 35-7 deficit that Marathon wasn’t able to undo in the second half of play.

Marathon did some regrouping in the second half, holding Somerset to just a pair of touchdowns, both in quarter three, but a running clock and deep deficit would prevent a victory. The Dolphins did manage another touchdown in the fourth quarter, this time a 4-yard run from Tanner Ross, who willed himself into the end zone. At the final buzzer, the score was 48-14, giving the Fins a 2-8 record for the season.

The Dolphins will return to action next season hungry for more wins and ready to put in the work with a nearly intact roster – the team has just two seniors this year.

Ed Holly and his team worked all week in preparation for a rematch against Raiders. On Monday, they learned that Ransom would not play the game, citing their team’s health after being banged up the previous week.

Despite having a deep varsity and full JV roster, the Raiders were unwilling to consider the scheduled matchup, leaving Holly to either end his season early or scramble for another opponent.

“It’s not just a game,” he said. “Our kids have only 10 chances to play all year. Not playing a game takes away 10% of their year and we didn’t want to do that to them, especially our seniors.”

Holly was able to find a worthy opponent who was not only willing to play, but was close and within the conference. The Hurricanes quickly changed their gameplan, preparing for Palm Glades Prep in a walk-through practice on Tuesday afternoon, then playing them on Wednesday evening at Harris Park in Homestead.

In their last matchup on Sept. 8, the ’Canes bested Palm Glades 20-12. This time, the score would be 5012, a testament to the Hurricanes’ hard work the past two months. Holly summed up his team’s season in one word: “Improvement.”

“My litmus test is, are we playing the best ball at the end of the year? The answer to that this season is yes,” he said.

On Wednesday night, the ’Canes certainly looked to be playing well.

The scoring started on their first drive with an Isaac Holmes 16-yard pass to Austin Vogt. It would be the first of three passing TDs from Holmes, including a 38-yard bomb to AJ Putetti and one more for 16 yards to Kristers Vutnans. Putetti also scored on an interception which he carried 50 yards for the score. Holmes, who had close to 300 all-purpose yards on the night, also ran one in for a 33-yard touchdown, capping off the senior’s career in style.

Kicker Ethan Margut put 3 on the board with a 31-yard field goal, and Dantay Diorio added a touchdown on the ground. He was also credited with a forced fumble, which was recovered by Micah Carr. RJ Dube had a 1-yard TD run to complete the scoring onslaught for the ’Canes.

Coral Shores finished its season 6-4, picking up steam as the season went on. The Hurricanes earned third-place honors in their conference with the forfeit by Ransom, making their lopsided win over Palm Glades an added bonus to an already stat-studded season.

ross country district races are complete and Keys runners performed very well, with many moving on to regionals.

Marathon ran at Palmer Trinity School on Nov. 2 for the 1A District 8 championships. The Fins’ boys earned a district runner-up title and an automatic entry into regionals. Vance Bursa was the first Dolphin, finishing in 16:52 and earning a silver medal for the district. Tony Bursa was fifth overall and second for his team, crossing the line in 17:55. Senior Mason Buxton also cracked the top 10, finishing in ninth place overall and third for Marathon. Jakub Bursa, Adrien Holdinga, Dillon Shelar and Allan Taylor also counted toward the Fins’ total and will move on in their quest for their ninth consecutive state appearance as a team.

They will need to get through some stiff regional competition first, though. For the 1A Dolphins, that means racing against the top 16 teams, four from each district, in South Florida.

“Our region is racing at Spanish River, which is the FAU home course. It is known to be one of the faster courses in South Florida,” said coach Jim Murphy. “As long as it stays dry, it is going to be a very fast race.”

In preparation for the challenge that awaits them on Thursday, Nov. 9, he said, “We have shifted our workouts to prepare for the faster course and tougher teams. It’s been a speed work, recovery, speed work cycle for the last few weeks in preparation for this postseason. The kids have bought in and have been working hard to prepare. I’m excited to see how we end up on Thursday and if we can make another run at states.”

The girls team was third overall, qualifying them for the next round of racing. Ella Dunn was the first Fin to cross the line in 22:49, which was fast enough to take the number 10 spot in the district.

Maeve Merryman was next in 23:10, and Mikkel Ross, Rain Banks, Sara Robinson, Madelyn Thornton and Rebecca Merryman also contributed to the team scoring.

2A Key West and Coral Shores competed on Nov. 1 at Larry and Penny Thompson Park in Miami. The Lady Conchs buckled down and took fourth place, qualifying the entire team for regionals. Caylaa Makimaa and Naima Thomas both finished with personal best times and top-15 finishes, helping spur the team’s success. Makimaa crossed the finish line third overall in 20:00, with Thomas earning 12th in 21:44. Laira Anaya, Violet Jangraw, Briana Nodal, Ava Gonzalez and Mia Steer all contributed to the scoring and will move on.

Key West’s boys finished in ninth place overall, which did not qualify the team for regionals, but Colbin Hill and Jerven Louis finished fast enough to qualify as individuals. Hill ran an 18:34, while Louis finished in 19:37. One of the team’s goals was to make it to regionals this season. With that checked off, the focus is now to get to Tallahassee.

Coral Shores’ young teams did not qualify for regionals this season, but Kai Guth made it as an individual runner, finishing first for her team in 24:49.

Jenna Mandozzi finished second for the Lady ‘Canes. Nathaniel Shugarman was first for the boys, finishing in 20:48, while teammate Jamie Cary was second.

Guth will make the trip to Boca for the regional race with first-year coach Lyndie Meyers, who said she could not be prouder of her entire team. Their hard work, as well as that of the boys, has paid off with marked improvement as the season went on, and Meyers has plans to include some middle school athletes next year to keep strengthening the Hurricane program.

For 2A Coral Shores and Key West, their race will be at South County Regional Park in Boca Raton on Nov. 9. The top eight teams plus the top four individuals not included in a qualifying team in each region will make the trip to Tallahassee for the state championships later this month.

G

irls weightlifting officially opened for regular competition in Florida on Oct. 30, and two Keys teams wasted no time getting the first meet under their weight belts, as Marathon traveled to Tavernier to compete with Coral Shores on Nov. 1. Both teams produced strong early-season lifts, but the Dolphins edged out the Hurricanes 46-32 in Olympic lifts and 44-39 in traditional.

Olympic lifting combines weight totals for the clean and jerk plus the snatch lift, while traditional lifting combines clean and jerk with bench press. Coral Shores’ Mallory Hughes won the traditional lifting event in the 101-pound class, while Rachel Rusch won both events in the 110-pound class. Marathon’s Elizabeth Vanderlee and Coral Shores’ Leticia Lima split the 119-pound division, with Vanderlee winning Olympic style and Lima winning traditional. Marathon’s Sierra Earnhardt, Cami Wrinn, Marquisha Abraham and Sabrina Schofield were all dual winners in their weight classes, while

Grace Patterson, Jenille Arias and Sydney Eisenbach were dual winners for the Hurricanes.

Eisenbach had the highest bench press of the afternoon, putting up 125 pounds. Teammate Arias’ 125-pound clean and jerk was the high score of the day in that event. Eisenbach and Arias tied for the top snatch score, each lifting 105 pounds.

Marathon is without several top returners, including state qualifiers Mikkel Ross and Ella Dunn,
