Keys Weekly Sports Wrap looks back at the top stories in prep sports this year

F

or a tight-knit island chain with just three relatively small high schools, the Florida Keys had no shortage of accomplishments from record-breaking athletes in 2023. From college commitments to school records, district leaders to state champions, the Keys Weekly thought our final issue of 2023 would be a perfect time to pair our Year in Review editions with a look at the top 23 athletic accomplishments in Keys prep sports this year.

KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP / DECEMBER 28, 2023

RAIN BANKS LEADS FHSAA 3A DISTRICT 16 IN SCORING Marathon midfielder Rain Banks capped off her junior season on the pitch with 20 goals and 11 assists, resulting in 51 points for the Lady Fins. Banks’ season stats were the top in the district, setting her up for an exciting senior campaign. With 9 goals in a 3-game span in December, that’s already off to a blazing start.

15 KEYS CROSS COUNTRY RUNNERS QUALIFY FOR THE BIG SHOW Marathon’s boys and girls made 2023 their ninth and fifth consecutive state championship appearances, respectively, sending Ella Dunn, Mikkel Ross, Rain Banks, Maeve Merryman, Sara Robinson, Madelyn Thornton, Rebecca Merryman, Vance Bursa, Jakub Bursa, Antonin Bursa, Dillon Shelar, Adrien Holdinga, Allan Taylor and Mason Buxton to Tallahassee. Key West’s Caylaa Makimaa defied the odds and qualified for states as an individual with one of the best Conch times in recent history.

CORAL SHORES FEARSOME FOURSOME DOMINATES RELAYS Hurricane swimmers Abbie Sargent, Layne Smith, Riley Cooper and Allegra Fucaraccio combined in the 200 medley relay to win district gold this season. At regionals, they placed sixth with a time fast enough to qualify for the state championships. Sargent qualified as an individual as well, representing the ’Canes in the 100 breaststroke. MARGIE SMITH/Contributed

AJ SMITH MAKES HISTORY Conchs’ swimming phenom AJ Smith won district and regional medals in the 50 and 100 yard freestyle events with times that were dominant enough to give him the top seed at states in the 50. Smith added more hardware to his extensive collection when he won the state championship gold medal in the 50 freestyle event, breaking his own school record to become the Conchs’ first state swim champ.

Coral Shores Boys Dominate During 12-Game Win Streak Head coach Jarrod Mandozzi led the Hurricane hoopsters on a 12-game winning streak last season, beginning on Jan. 5 against Oxbridge Academy and ending on Feb. 8. The ’Canes’ streak came to an end when Riviera Prep, the eventual 3A state champs, defeated them in the district semifinals. During the season, the ’Canes bested both Marathon and Key West, making them the undisputed Kings of the Keys in 2023.

Conch Track Stars Win Double District Title Key West’s boys and girls both won the FHSAA 2A District 16 Championship trophy in ’23. The dual titles were secured, in part, by 11 individual district wins, with 25 athletes qualifying for regionals. The Conchs went on to qualify five for states, returning with five medals.

Ten Keys Track Athletes Medal at States Monroe County proved its prowess last spring in track and field, bringing home 10 state medals from the FHSAA State Championships. Hurricane strongman Xavyer Arrington won two, an eighth place in shot put and sixth in discus. Key West’s Savannah Chadic also won two, taking eighth place in the 200 and sixth place in the 400. Fellow Conchs with state medals of their own were Kevon Mills (sixth in high jump), Suharevskis Niks-Davis (second in pole vault) and Josh Canterbury (sixth in pole vault). For Marathon, Vance Bursa brought home an eighth-place medal in the 3200 while Ava Merryman placed seventh in the pole vault and Daysi Williams won fourth place in the high jump.

Year of the Kicker Two Keys kickers broke school records in football in ’23. Key West’s Marco Davila (below) racked up 41 career touchbacks to set a new Conch record.

Marathon’s Fabbianho Louis Jeune set the mark for the Fins with a 51-yard field goal.

Juvier and Arrington Strike Gold

ALL OUT, ALL GAME, ALL SEASON

Coral Shores’ Julian Juvier won a pair of gold medals at the state championships in traditional and Olympic lifting. Teammate Xavyer Arrington added to his 2022 win with a gold in ’23 in the Olympic event and a third-place medal in traditional.

Keys Girls Flex on Florida Seven Monroe County lifters represented the Keys at the FHSAA state championships in girls’ weightlifting. Key West’s Valerie Thene, Coral Shores’ Lily Hitchcock and Valentina Rizzo, and Marathon’s Alexandra Brabenec, Ella Dunn, Justice Lee and Mikkel Ross made the trip to Lakeland for states. Ross brought home a fifth-place medal in traditional lifting.

Lee and Thene cracked the top 10.

Standout Lineman Andre Otto Goes D1 Many Keys athletes penned letters of intent to play at the next level in 2023, but one took it a step further and went straight to the top of the D1 rankings. Andre Otto’s play on the line for the Conchs sent collegiate scouts into a frenzy last season. A three-sport letterman for Key West, Otto eventually chose to keep his talents in the state and signed to play with the Seminoles of FSU, where he is already earning playing time and working toward a career in film.

KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP / DECEMBER 28, 2023 Riche and Otto Medal at States for Conchs Key West sent three competitors to the FHSAA State Championship in boys’ wrestling last season. Abram Canet, Ralph Riche (below) and Andre Otto made the trip and Otto and Riche returned wearing medals. Riche won fifth place while Otto won bronze to help continue the Conchs’ legacy of success.

Key West’s Felix Ong Commits to University of Florida Star pitcher Felix Ong has yet to throw a game ball in his senior campaign for the 2024 Conchs, but he’s already set to play at the next level. Ong has a fastball already clocked at 96 mph this fall, and he’s a face Key West’s opponents don’t want to see when they step in the batter’s box. Ong won eight of his 10 appearances on the mound in 2023 with a pair of shutouts and a pair of no-hitters. “The UF baseball team has no idea what’s coming,” said coach Ralph Henriquez.

Conchs Reign as Kings of Diamond There’s no way around it: Key West is the Keys’ baseball powerhouse, and last year’s team proved worthy to wear the crimson and gray. The Conchs won 22 times last season, including a 13-0 district championship victory over Miami Sunset. The stomping gave Key West district title number 31 for the record books. Sunset went on to knock the Conchs out of contention for a coveted 12th state championship, which would break the tie for most in the state.

The ’23 team was ranked first in its district and region for good reason – multiple Conchs signed on to play collegiately, while coach Ralph Henriquez and the underclassmen went right back to work securing their dynasty on the diamond.

Chaz Jimenez and His Grappling Conchs Win 16th District Title Key West is well known as a baseball town, but homegrown wrestling coach Chaz Jimenez has been churning out district championships and state qualifiers at breakneck speed. Last season, the boys earned their 16th first place trophy and extended their district-winning seasons to 14 consecutive.

Conch Girls’ Debut Wrestling Season Yields Pair of Medals Key West’s wrestling team is steeped in a tradition of winning, and when they added a girls team, success was instantaneous. Three qualified for states, including Sheyla Figueira and sisters Ailee and Shannon Briggs. Both Briggs sisters brought home silver medals from states and Shannon later signed to wrestle collegiately at Avila.

Conchs head coach Chaz Jimenez stands between Ailee Briggs (left) and Shannon Briggs (right) at the FHSAA 1A state championships. Both athletes earned runner-up medals.

Ziels Earns National Ranking on Mound for Fins Marathon pitcher Dylan Ziels amassed 129 strikeouts in 57.1 innings pitched for the Fins last season, walking just 20 of the 242 batters he faced. His strikeout success was the second-best showing in the entire state and ranked 35th nationally. Ziels recently committed to pitch for Palm Beach State College after numerous universities wooed the big righty.

Coaching Giant Ralph Henriquez Inducted into Hall of Fame Key West’s winningest coach of its winningest team earned a state nod when he was selected to the High School Baseball Network South Florida Hall of Fame.

Henriquez has 550 wins spanning his 30-year career as a baseball coach. His career led him all the way to an MLB coaching position, but he returned to his hometown in 2014. Henriquez has 373 wins with the Conchs and has guided over 100 players to collegiate careers. His major league player roster is in double digits.

If the Conchs’ 2023 season is any indication, he isn’t even close to being finished.

KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP / DECEMBER 28, 2023

Coral Shores Legend Steps Down as AD After more than three decades as athletic director at Coral Shores High School, Rich Russell passed the reins on to Ed Holly in 2023. Russell was a standout football player for the ’Canes, earning a full scholarship to play at the University of Miami.

The great-great-grandson of the original Upper Keys settlers returned from his collegiate career to coach for his hometown and eventually run the athletic department. Russell is still a fixture on campus as he uses his vast knowledge and experience to help guide and mentor his beloved Hurricanes.

Lady Conchs Lacrosse Comes Alive to Win District Championship Key West went 11-3 last season, boasting a perfect 6-0 record in district matchups. The team won the FHSAA District 16 1A Championship, fueled by a scoring frenzy. Bella Marchiano’s play was stellar enough for her to sign to play for Palm Beach Atlantic University her junior year. Marchiano earned her 100th goal in ’23. Teammate Ella Baxter was the first Lady Conch to hit triple digits, though, and she signed to play for Kenyon College in Ohio next year.

Freshman Maria Chaney is well on her way to hitting the 100 milestone, with 37 goals in just one varsity season of play, making for what could just be the next sports dynasty for Key West.

Conchs Softball Makes it to Final Four The Lady Conchs proved that their ’22 final four appearance was not a fluke when they brought home district and regional titles in ’23. The team went 19-4 last season, sending multiple players to college and earning District 16 4A accolades in almost every statistic. Isabella Franco was first in the district in batting average with a .475 and led in on base percentage with .536. Scarlet Niles was second, batting .457.

Niles led the district in runs scored with 35 and stolen bases with 16. Miesha Hernandez (below) was first in home runs, slamming 3, first in RBIs with 27 and earned the top slugging percentage with .685. Chloe Gilday had the top ERA with 2.07, edging out teammate Nevaeh Arnold who came in second with 2.70. The pair of pitchers combined for 109 strikeouts.

Last season, the boys earned their 16th first-place trophy and extended their district-winning seasons to 14 consecutive.

Coral Shores Extends Battle of the Keys Margin on Gridiron The Hurricanes earned a big win over Marathon in the 54th Battle of the Keys, defeating Marathon in a lopsided 42-7 victory.

The ’Canes went 6-4 in head coach Ed Holly’s second season of his coaching stint for Coral Shores.
