THIS WEEK

Kameron

ROBERTS

Junior, Key West Basketball

“Kameron led us in our comeback victory Tuesday night when it mattered most.

He is a player that we as coaches know when the lights are shining bright, we can count on him to be locked in and ready to play.”

– Dexter Butler, Conchs head coach

21 points

Three-year letterman Kameron Roberts stepped up last week when the Conchs’ basketball team needed it the most.

Roberts kept himself dialed in and helped lead Key West to a win despite being down by double digits in their opening game against Hernando High School. The junior’s leadership, on-court skills and composure helped earn him 21 points in Key West’s first victory of the season. He registered four offensive rebounds and was credited with two assists offensively.

Roberts also racked up defensive stats, including six defensive rebounds, a pair of steals and three blocks. For his focus and strong play in Key West’s come-from-behind victory, Kameron Roberts is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

THE EARLYSEASON RUNDOWN Keys soccer squads face crowded schedules in the coming weeks

P

rep soccer season opened for business the first week of November, and teams have taken different approaches to their scheduling. The double holiday break makes travel difficult for winter sports teams, and while Marathon and Coral Shores have seen limited action, Key West was all systems go in getting matches under its belt.

The Conch boys have played two games so far, losing to Ransom on Nov. 11 before picking up a tie against Somerset Silver Palms on Nov. 17. Key West got off to a great start against Silver Palms, with a goal from Nico Sulak in the first 10 minutes of play. Loubins Fleuridor assisted in the score. The Stallions answered back, scoring midway through the first half of the game. Just prior to halftime, Emmanuel Innocent gave Key West the lead again with a goal assisted by DJ Barrett.

The Conchs held the lead until the final minute of the game when Silver Palms struck again, tying the match at 2-2.

The Lady Conchs have already played four matches, with mixed results. They opened their season against Coral Shores, winning 2-1 on Nov. 8, then lost to Doral three days later. On Nov. 17 they played Fort Myers for a 6-0 loss and tied Lemon Bay 1-1 the following day.

Marathon’s boys won their opening match 5-1 against True North Classical Academy on Nov. 16. Oscar Cardona and Mikail Marshall scored two each and Fab Louis Jeune added one goal. A game scheduled against Coral Shores was postponed due to weather. The Lady Fins have yet to play a game, but their schedule picks up steam in the coming days.

Coral Shores’ boys have an even early-season record after a decisive win over Pace on Nov. 14 in which the ’Canes shut out the Spartans 4-0. The Hurricanes lost to SLAM two days later. Coral Shores’ girls lost a close one to Key West in their only game so far this season. The Lady ’Canes will have another shot at the Conchs on Dec. 8 for a rematch in Key West.

UP AGAINST THE BEST Island runners stake their claim at cross country state meet 2

reakout Conchs speedster Caylaa Makimaa proved she belonged at the FHSAA 2A State Championship race on Nov. 17. The hard-working junior finished 40th in a field of over 200 runners.

Makimaa’s 20:05 finish was just seconds off her personal best on a hilly, tree-lined course that is both challenging and beautiful. Makimaa was the lone qualifier for Key West, doing what she set out to do in August. She made the cut for the meet the hard way, earning an at-large spot with a blazing sub-20-minute time at her regional race.

Makimaa’s dominance this season came about from hard work, serious training and a focused coach and team who pushed and encouraged one another all season long.

“Caylaa had two goals this season: break 20 (minutes) and make it to states,” said coach Keara McGraw. “I knew both were possible for her, and told her states was going to require a sub-20, so those goals go hand in hand.

This season we bumped up the mileage and increased the paces on the workouts.

Caylaa showed up and put in the work every day, including 8- to 10-mile runs with Naima (Thomas) on the weekends.”

In the 1A girls’ race, the Keys were represented by seven runners, all from Marathon. The Lady Fins placed high enough at regionals to qualify the entire team for the championship run.

Junior Ella Dunn finished first for Marathon, completing the course in 22:46. Behind Dunn were seniors Mikkel Ross (23:02) and Rain Banks (24:00), both veterans of Apalachee Regional Park – Ross and Banks are five-time state qualifiers. Less than one second behind Banks was freshman Maeve Merryman, who made the trip to states for her second year and was within yards of Banks the entire race. Sara Robinson and Madelyn Thornton were next. Both athletes are freshmen and also made the cut for the second consecutive year. Seventh grader Rebecca Merryman served as the team’s alternate, gaining valuable experience on the tricky course in her first appearance at states.

With just Ross and Banks graduating this season and several young runners right at the heels of the traveling seven, the Lady Fins have a great chance at a sixth consecutive team appearance in 2024.

Marathon’s boys made the trip to Tallahassee for a ninth consecutive season. Junior Vance Bursa led the team all season long, and though he had a disap1.

The eldest Bursa is a middle distance specialist with speed in shorter races, which should prove fruitful for Marathon in the spring when the brothers take their talent to the track.

Marathon’s remaining four all completed the state course in under 20 minutes, with seniors Dillon Shelar and Mason Buxton capping off their prep cross country careers in 18:32 and 19:14, respectively. Eighth grader Allan Taylor finished in 19:49 and junior Adrien Holdinga, a first-year runner, finished in 19:51. Though the Dolphins lose three of their top seven next year, their reserves run deep, making it probable that their state-qualifying streak stretches into double digits.

The Fins finished in 19th place in 1A overall, but Marathon was the first public school team in Florida’s smallest classification. Just two public high schools qualified for the state meet – Marathon’s counterpart, Blountstown, finished second-to-last in 30th place. Small private and charter schools often focus on one sport, pulling the most talented athletes from nearby schools and creating mini-powerhouses which can benefit from training with high levels of competition and professional coaching. By all measures, the extra drive and work exhibited by Coral Shores, Marathon and Key West in order to produce such a high level of success proved phenomenal this November.

KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP / NOVEMBER 30, 2023

MVP

THE 2023 KEYS WEEKLY ALL-KEYS GOLF TEAM Camaraderie reigned supreme as Monroe County athletes traded top spots

Peyton Zubieta

Andrew Bassett JUNIOR, KEY WEST

SENIOR, KEY WEST

Junior Peyton Zubieta’s powerful drive helped his scoring this season. He honed in on the finer points of his game, which proved fruitful as he became more consistent in all aspects. His work this season, coupled with the skills he has already, should give him all he needs to go far in his senior season. His district tournament score of 84 tied for first in Keys match play with teammate Andrew Bassett.

Conchs junior Andrew Bassett’s consistency was key to his success this season. Bassett’s dedication to the sport was apparent all season long as his scores trended downward, culminating with a solid 84 at districts and setting him up for a stellar senior campaign in 2024.

Senior Ryan Kight is a long ball hitter whose leadership served the Conchs well.

Kight’s ability to stay levelheaded during play, and his short memory after a tough shot, made him an asset for Key West. The three-year veteran has shown growth and success in every aspect of the game.

Tanel Irons

Brock Bynum

Junior Tanel Irons was neckand-neck with teammate Preston Carroll this season, trading first-place finishes in many matches. Irons is a multiyear player for the ’Canes and has improved markedly with each season. He was an asset to the younger athletes on his team, helping to show them the ropes and improve the scores of everyone on the squad.

Sophomore Brock Bynum brought a new insight to the Coral Shores’ golf program this season. Though new to the sport, Bynum brought an energetic love for the game, and his excitement was contagious. His positive attitude, combined with solid shooting, helped the ’Canes excel all season long.

JUNIOR, KEY WEST

Ryan Kight

This season, all three Keys schools became very friendly with one another, playing at each other’s home courses numerous times. Unlike seasons past, multiple athletes took turns in the top spot during regular season play. Most notably, Monroe County golfers are known for working together to help one another, rather than seeing each other as rivals. Though no golfers advanced past the district tournaments this season, multiple players fared well at districts and have shown steady improvement from last year, giving the teams a lot to look forward to in 2024.

NOVEMBER 30, 2023 / KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP

Preston Carroll

Michael Merryman

Mason Thornton

Dylan Ziels

Junior Preston Carroll has been an integral part of Coral Shores’ golf team for multiple seasons. Carroll averaged in the low- to mid40s on the nine-hole courses he played this season. His dedication to the sport and willingness to help the less experienced members of his team were crucial to the success the Hurricanes enjoyed this year.

Senior Michael Merryman’s average score this season was 49, making him one of the Keys’ top golfers all season long. In only his second season of golf, Merryman often took the top spot for Marathon. In his final match of the season, he shot a 39, and at the district tournament, shot a 96 in his first 18-hole match of his career.

Fins junior Mason Thornton is a newcomer to the sport but made an immediate impact on the Dolphins’ squad.

In just his first season playing golf, Mason averaged a score of 51 and scored under 50 in five matches this season. Thornton started strong and continued to improve as the season progressed, setting him up for an exciting senior year on the links.

Senior Dylan Ziels set aside his baseball bat for a driver and gave the sport of golf a go this season. In his first year of golf, Ziels averaged a score of 52 and in three matches had scores under 50. The level-headed athlete kept his cool and was consistent this season, scoring under 60 in all regular season matches.

Claudia Steling

Gabby Thomas

Maeve O’Hearn

Summer Haines

Sophomore Claudia Steling is a powerful ball striker who won numerous regularseason matches this year.

Steling works tirelessly to improve her game, putting in long hours of practice and attending camps in the offseason. She can be found cheering up teammates and competitors alike over the course of a match. Her cando attitude was as crucial to the Conchs’ success as her fantastic scores.

Junior Gabby Thomas brings so much more to the game of golf than just her scores.

Thomas often traded firstplace finishes with other Keys golfers this season, and when she was not winning matches, she was helping others to improve, regardless of whose uniform they wore. Thomas’ positive attitude and her dedication to self-improvement on the course make her a tough competitor.

Senior Maeve O’Hearn was another first-time golfer who discovered a hidden talent this season. O’Hearn’s improvement was consistent all season long, and her determination and unwillingness to give up was contagious. By the end of the season, O’Hearn was in the top of the scoring for Keys athletes.

Senior Summer Haines put a lot of work into her game in the off season, and it paid off during her final year with the Fins. Haines averaged a score of 51 for the season with her best score, a 44, coming in her final home match. Her consistency was notable and her improvement in her short game made Marathon’s two-time best female golfer tough to beat in 2023.

CONCHS, ’CANES DEFEAT VISITING LEOPARDS Prep basketball set for flurry of action in December

The Coral Shores Hurricanes square off against the Hernando High Leopards on Nov. 20. The ‘Canes notched their first win of the season in a tight contest, 45-40. Photos by JOY SMITH/Purely Joyous Photography See more photos at keysweekly.com

T

he FHSAA’s 2023-24 basketball season opened on Nov. 20, and Hernando High School wasted no time traveling to the Keys for a pair of games.

The Leopards stopped in Key Largo on opening day to take on the Hurricanes of Coral Shores in what would be the first tipoff of the season for Monroe County high schools.

The game was set to be played at Coral Shores, but the Nov. 15 storms caused some damage to the gymnasium, moving the matchup to Key Largo School instead.

Senior Isaac Holmes led the charge, scoring 14 points and grabbing 11 rebounds.

Junior AJ Putetti had 12 points, a pair of assists and 3 rebounds. Sophomore Donovan Thiery scored 7 with 5 assists and 4 rebounds.

Isaac Rivera and Ayden Lane scored 5 each and AJ Johnson added 2 more for the ’Canes, giving them their first win of the season, 45-40.

“Like any first game of the season, I saw some really great things, but the team has some work to do as well,” said first-year head coach Tony Simmons of the hard-fought contest.

The following night, the Leopards traveled to Key West, where they met a young Conchs squad on the hardwood. Key West’s roster is without a single senior, and though young, coach

Dexter Butler’s Conchs are already seasoned, with a majority of his bench earning substantial playing time last season.

The Leopards pulled ahead early, outscoring the Conchs 16-11 in quarter one. They were ahead by 10 at the half when Key West began to come alive. The Conchs put up 29 points to Hernando’s 18 in the second half for the big opening win.

Junior Kameron Roberts was the top scorer on Nov. 21, earning a doubledouble with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Roberts was also credited with a pair of assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks. James Osborne had a double-double of his own, with 18 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and a block. The rest of the Conchs’ points came from Josue Thanus and David Aviles with 4 each and Jaxen Cabrera with 2.

Aviles added 10 rebounds while Cabrera grabbed 6 rebounds and added 3 steals to his stats. Key West edged the Leopards 49-48, giving the team some early-season confidence.

Both boys and girls from all three Keys schools have packed schedules this season, especially in the next two weeks before the holiday break. The first in-county play will occur on Dec. 12 when Marathon plays at Coral Shores. Tipoff for the girls is 5 p.m. and the boys will follow at 7.

ISOM TAKES TOP LIFTER HONORS AGAIN

O

n Nov. 16, Marathon traveled to Key West for a girls weightlifting meet just prior to the holiday break. The scoring was close, but Marathon was able to edge Key West in both events, winning 44-40 in Olympic lifting and 45-35 in traditional.

The top lifter of the afternoon was Justice Lee Isom, who put up some impressive earlyseason numbers. Isom lifted 125 pounds in the snatch competition, 150 pounds in clean and jerk and 150 pounds in the bench press. All three lifts were the top score in each category.

Isom won both the traditional and Olympic lifting events in her weight classification, as did most of the winners on Nov. 16. Double winners for Marathon included Ayme Maradiaga, Alexia Stip, Ella Evans and Sabrina Schofield, while Ashley Rasmussen won the traditional category in her classification. Key West had four winners, including Shylo Sanchez, Dazmine Jenkins, Kaylee Matas and Claire Boysen. Jenkins’ lifts placed her in second place overall using the Sinclair Coefficient system, which formulates how athletes perform based on their lifts and weight.

Key West’s Alexa Condella, who shares Jenkins’ weight class, was close behind.

Both teams headed to Coral Shores for the next meet on Nov. 29 with two of Marathon’s four state qualifiers from last season set to return to the weight room. Ella Dunn and Mikkel Ross just completed their final cross country race last week after a state-qualifying season.

Results of the Nov. 29 meet were not available at press time.
