THORNTON

Lately, her bat has come alive and is a significant contributor to our offense.”

– Lance Martin, Marathon softball head coach.

MARCH 14

CA) 3 p.m.

Marathon’s Madelyn Thornton may be only a freshman, but the Fins’ starting catcher is not new to varsity fast-pitch this season.

“Madelyn is only in ninth grade, and this is her third year as the varsity catcher,” explained Marathon’s head coach, Lance Martin. “She has done a great job working with her pitchers and gets compliments from umpires on how well she blocks the ball.”

But it is Thornton’s bat which has garnered the most attention this season. She leads the team with a .556 batting average and .636 on-base percentage. Boasting a .833 slugging percentage, Thornton’s extra bases have been crucial in multiple Fins victories this season. For her solid bat and dependable role at catcher, Madelyn Thornton is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

As Key West senior center fielder Scarlet Niles proved last weekend, her bat is not to be trifled with. In doubleheader action on March 9 against John Carroll Catholic, Niles blasted four home runs over the course of the day, with three coming in a single game. MAICEY MALGRAT/Keys Weekly

NILES GOES YARD FOUR TIMES IN ONE DAY

Carrollton delivers first loss of the season to Marathon

The Lady Conchs split a pair of games against visiting John Carroll Catholic on March 9.

Key West won the first game of the double header, and while the Conchs brought in 7 runs to John Carroll’s 2, just one bat would have been enough.

Key West pulled away in the first inning and hung onto the lead the entire game, powered by three home runs by center fielder Scarlet Niles. Chloe Gilday struck out 5 over 7 innings on defense while the Conchs racked up 9 hits, including 2 from Monica Bueno, a double from Alexa Condela and singles from Shylo Sanchez, Tavyn Gage and Nina Manresa on top of Niles’ 3 bombs.

In game two, pitcher Brianna Brener got the start, lasting 6 innings

before Gilday came in for 1 inning of relief. The Conchs took an early lead again and held on until the fourth when it was all tied up at 3. John Carroll took advantage of a two-out rally in the sixth inning, scoring 3 runs. Key West put up 2 runs in their final at-bat, but could not quite pull off the comeback. Key West’s bats continued to be prolific with 7 hits. Niles homered again in game two with 1 of her 2 hits. Condela and Alexandra Rodriguez had 2 hits each and Vera Rodger claimed the remaining hit in the 6-5 loss.

Marathon played Carrollton on March 5 at home. The Cyclones pulled ahead in the first with a 1-0 lead, which Marathon tied up in the third inning. By inning 6, the Lady Fins were ahead by a run, but a sev-

enth inning 5-run rally from Carrollton was too much for Marathon to overcome, handing them a 7-3 loss. Maeve Merryman registered three hits, including one double. Ryleigh Garcia doubled and Sara Robinson, Madelyn Thornton and Allison Garcia each singled in the loss.

Two nights later, it was a completely different ball game. Playing at LaSalle, the Fins racked up a total of 17 hits to dominate the Royal Lions in a four-inning 18-1 romp. Allison Garcia struck out 7 on the mound, then delivered 4 hits of her own, including a triple and a pair of doubles. Elena Eubank added her own pair of doubles plus a single for 3 hits. Ryleigh Garcia and Shynell McGuire had 2 hits apiece, as did Thornton, with 1 being a home run. Eli Roque,

Daniela Gonzalez, Robinson and Merryman accounted for the other 4. The 5-1 Fins have two more games prior to spring break as they head into the final stretch prior to districts. Coral Shores fell to 0-3 after a loss against Colonial Christian School on March 7 in their home opener. The Patriots defeated the ’Canes 28-6.

Scarlet Niles arrives home to a welcoming committee of her teammates after blasting four home runs in one day.

ZIELS, LEAL COMBINE FOR NO-HITTER

Conchs split against John Carroll Catholic

The Marathon Dolphins had to settle for a single game last week after Everglades Prep forfeited their March 8 matchup. The Fins made the most of their playtime, defeating the Rays of Mater Academy Bay 3-0. Dylan Ziels started on the mound for Marathon, lasting 5 innings and striking out 6. Gabe Leal finished out the game with 3 strikeouts. The pair combined for a no-hitter against the Rays. Marathon’s Aiden Gonzalez, Mason Thornton, Tommy Norris and Gabe Leal each had one single in the win. Marathon is sitting on an impressive 7-1 record but faces its greatest test of the season Monday, March 25, hosting district and county rival Coral Shores in what will possibly be the only Battle of the Keys this season in baseball.

John Carroll Catholic School made the trip from Fort Pierce to the Southernmost City to take on the Conchs in a two-game series. The Rams took advantage of a rare trio of Conch errors in game number one on March 8, scoring 2 runs in the first inning, then 2 more in inning 7. The Conchs did their best to get things going with 6 hits, but the luck was not with the home team. Steel Mientkiewicz, Noah Burnham, Sam Holland, Roman Garcia, Anthony Lariz and Jose Perdigon each singled in the 4-1 loss.

In Saturday’s game, the Conchs struck first, scoring 1 in the first inning. The Rams were stingy, allowing only 2 hits, 1 from

Garcia and 1 from Noah Burnham, but the Conchs were back to their usual precision on defense. An error-free game helped make the difference in the outcome. Key West scored 1 more run in the fourth, but a powerful outing from Anthony Lariz on the mound shut out John Carroll entirely. Lariz pitched his second complete game in as many weeks, striking out 9, walking 1 and allowing only 2 hits in the 2-0 win.

Coral Shores suffered a pair of losses last week, with the first one coming at home on March 5 to ABF Academy Hialeah. The ’Canes struggled to get things going at the plate with just 3 hits. AJ Putetti and Keller Blackburn both doubled while Grady Temkin added a base hit in the 6-3 loss against the Cowboys. Campbell Lavoie, Riley O’Berry and Donovan Thiery combined for 6 strikeouts on the mound for the Hurricanes.

The bats came alive on March 8 when the ’Canes traveled to Hialeah to play the Thoroughbreds of Hialeah High School. Temkin and Maykol Bonito-Rodriguez had 3 base hits each while Blackburn and Ezekiel Myers each had 2. Putetti, Thiery and O’Berry each added 1 for a total of 13 Hurricane hits. Despite out-hitting Hialeah 13-11, the ’Canes were trailing in the fourth by 3 runs before a fifth-inning 6-run showing by the Thoroughbreds made a comeback unlikely. Still, Coral Shores rallied in the seventh, racking up 5 runs off 4 hits, but it would be short of what they needed. The 11-8 loss brings the ’Canes to a 2-4 record, but they remain unbeaten in district play.

FINS, ’CANES OUTLIFT COMPETITION

Keys teams take top slots at Gulliver quad meet

Marathon and Coral Shores participated in a quad meet in boys weightlifting on March 6 at Gulliver Prep. The Fins and ’Canes were first and second in both events, respectively, outscoring Gulliver and Keys Gate in both traditional and Olympic lifting. The Hurricanes had one double winner in AJ Johnson, who not only won both events in the 219-lb. weight class, but was first overall in traditional and second in Olympic across all weight classes. Marathon’s Tanner Ross was a double winner at 199 and took first overall in Olympic and second in traditional. Chase Leird (119), Damian Staciewicz (154), Max Childress (183) and Braulio Garcia (238) were all double winners for Marathon, while Matthias Martinez-Velez won at 139 pounds in the traditional event. Both teams will compete at Doctors Charter for the FHSAA 1A District 16 Championships on March 28.

LACROSSE SEASON HITS MIDWAY POINT

With less than one month before Districts, Conchs’ boys look strong

With lacrosse district brackets set to begin the week of April 10, the Conchs are sitting on a 6-2 record. At the halfway point in the season, Key West has defeated two of the other four teams in the district, including an impressive 9-3 victory over a highly-ranked Ransom Everglades on March 9. But if the Conchs want to secure a district championship, they will have to get past Gulliver. On March 5, the Raiders beat the visiting Conchs 15-4. Key West picked up an additional win at home March 8 against Coral Reef for win number six this season.

The Lady Conchs played three district matchups last week. On March 5, they lost to Westminster 9-4. Deanna Mercier scored half of Key West’s goals, with the others coming from Eisley Whitehead and Maeve O’Hearn. Whitehead also secured 5 ground balls while goalkeeper Courtney Grabus had a dozen saves. In a March 8 win against Gulliver, Mercier netted 4 while O’Hearn, Colbie Turner and Kaitlyn Piloto scored 2 apiece. Turner was also credited with 3 caused turnovers for the Conchs. Taylor Gibson had 1 goal in the 11-3 win and Grabus saved 5 from scoring. In their final game of the week, Key West lost to Ransom 11-10 on March 9, putting them at 3-5 thus far this season. Like Coral Shores, Key West has the ability to beat its district opponents when things fall into place for the young team.

The Lady ’Canes remain 2-3 with no games scheduled last week, but their most recent stats just became available. In a narrow loss to Key West on March 1, goalkeeper Sidney Friedman helped keep the score close with a 76% save percentage. Nicole Gray and Leyla Ochoa each netted 3 goals in the 7-6 loss. Against Westminster Christian, the Lady ’Canes had better luck, winning 9-7. Ochoa scored 4 while Shay Stober and Iona Holmquist found the goal twice. Gray scored the final Hurricane goal. Ivy Tiedemann scooped up 7 ground balls while Makayla Hann had 2 interceptions and 8 ground balls in the win. The Hurricanes’ record does not accurately reflect their game play this season; Coral Shores has not lost by more than 3 goals all season and are capable of winning against any District 16 opponent on any given day.

Coral Shores’ boys are 1-6 after a pair of losses last week. The first came from Miami Country Day on March 5 and the second two days later against Coral Reef. The ’Canes have a chance to pick up a pair of district wins to improve their bracket standings with games against district opponents Key West and Westminster Christian coming up on their schedule.

’CANES BEAT OUT CONCHS ON THE COURTS

Key West shuts out Miami Killian in boys and girls tennis

Key West’s boys tennis team swept Miami Killian on March 4 in Miami. John Picco, Nicholas Burnett, Sharun MacAlearney, Nate Bergh and Martin Burnett all defeated their opponents in singles. Picco and Nicholas Burnette combined to win the first doubles match and MacAlearney and Bergh won the second. The Lady Conchs completed the clean sweep of the Cougars with singles wins from Eva Drozdetskaia, Gabriella Aguero, Amalia Strunk, Zoe Gehin and Claudia Steling. Drozdetskaia and Aguero, then Strunk and Steling, paired up for a set of doubles wins to blank Killian.

The tables would turn on March 7 when the Conchs traveled to Coral Shores. The Hurricanes swept the Conchs in boys action. Makani Burga, Aidan Althouse, Johann Smith, Erik Moerner and Corden Dean registered wins for the ’Canes, with the doubles duos of Burga/Althouse and Smith/ Moerner claiming wins as well. For the girls, it was much closer, with the Lady ‘’Canes edging the Lady Conchs 4-3 for the team victory. Drozdetskaia, Aguero and Strunk won their singles matches for the Conchs’ three points. For Coral Shores, Kai Redruello and Macy Cakans won their singles matches while Redruello and Kai Guth plus Olivia Hughes and Charlotte MacEachern combined to win both doubles matches for a Lady ’Canes win.

The Key West Conchs and Coral Shores Hurricanes meet up for an in-county rivalry match on March 7. The Hurricanes’ boys team swept the Conchs, while the Lady ’Canes narrowly defeated their southernmost neighbors 4-3. DOUG FINGER/Keys Weekly. See more match photos at keysweekly.com.

NEW LEAGUE ‘FLAGS’ SUCCESS

Inaugural Upper Keys youth football program saw 140 participants

Eager parents intently watched as their energized flag football players ran out from an inflatable tunnel to the gridiron at Coral Shores High School on Feb. 10. Championship bling in the form of a ring awaited the best team in each of the three divisions on this Super Bowl Saturday.

An inaugural Upper Keys Flag Football league, organized by local barber Randee Blanco just months before, brought 140 youth participants every Monday night during the winter months at Harry Harris fields in Tavernier. Players in kindergarten through second, third to fifth and sixth to eighth grades donned flags and eye paint as they ran routes, caught the ball and juked defenders as they steamed to the end zone. Parents sitting close to the field lines were tuned into the game, cheering on the team and rooting on their kids.

“It was amazing to come out on opening night and see all the people show up and all the smiles on kids' faces. I drove home that night and said, ‘OK, that went well,’” said Blanco, who came to the Keys from Orlando and opened a shop in Key Largo in 2021.

Months before the playoffs and championship games at Coral Shores, Blanco listened to parents from the community who wished a flag football league would come to fruition in the upper island chain. In just a short time, signups began around the fall. Before Blanco knew, player signups began to explode as the word spread around the community. With help from his wife, Krissandra; John Allen, county parks director; Ed Holly, Coral Shores athletics director; and the community, the league was off and running.

“This wouldn’t be possible without the community,” Blanco said. “The community put up money and helped facilitate and organize the league.”

Blanco also overcame challenges recruiting coaches and referees. Some coaches took on two teams, while members of the community, including high school students, put on the black and white stripes to officiate games.

“We were a well-oiled machine by Christmas,” Blanco said, adding that the league was competitive and not “Sandlot style.” “We have no-run zones which force players to throw the ball. A lot of kids learned a new way to play football.”

Holly, who’s also the Hurricanes head football coach, said he was particularly impressed with the turnout and the high level of coaching. Flag football in the Upper Keys means kids can have a football in their hands from kindergarten all the way to their senior year.

“They can play in the flag football league and move their way to middle school and then J.V. and varsity. And that should lead them to playing for 80,000 (people),” Holly said.

With the inaugural flag football season complete, Blanco said the momentum will carry into year two with a new high school division and an earlier start to the season.

Blanco is aiming to make the league even more affordable for families, in a bid to bring more players out. And he’s hoping to play games at Founders Park in Islamorada. As he prepares for another season, Blanco also stays busy umpiring youth baseball and soccer games.

CONCHS AND FINS FACE STEEP COMPETITION

Louis Jeune sets school record, Williams and Merryman claim top prizes at Falcon Relays

Marathon opened their track and field season March 7 at the Falcon Relays held at Palmer Trinity School. With 19 schools represented at the meet, the Fins found success despite the strong competition. Daysi Williams was the big winner for Marathon, winning the high jump with a 4’ 8” leap. Williams brought home a medal from the state competition as a freshman and is right on track for a repeat this season.

Ava Merryman, also a sophomore and a state medal winner last season, tied for first place in pole vault, clearing 9’ 0.25”. Jay Marshall was second in the 100m race, finishing in 11.41s. Also second was Fab Louis Jeune, whose 40’ 7” triple jump earned him a school record. Other topfive finishers were Justice Lee, with a third in shot put and fifth in discus, Kayesha Christian with a fifth in the 100m, and Rilynn Richards, who took fifth in the 800m in 2:45. Marathon’s boys distance medley relay earned second place, finishing in 12:06, while the girls distance relay finished third in 16:20. The Lady Fins’ 4x100m relay also earned a solid finish, claiming fourth place in 55.69s.

Key West traveled to Fort Lauderdale for the invitational at Calvary Christian High School. Shane Lavallee won the javelin event with a toss of just over 154 feet. Jeff Dejean and Jean Louis placed second in triple and long jump, respectively. Audrey Smith took second in javelin while Anabel Portuondo was third in pole vault. Grace Andrew placed fourth in both the 100 and 400m hurdle events and Ian Newton was fourth in pole vault. Rounding out Key West’s top-five winners were Malachi Telisma, who was fifth in high jump, and Noah Mercer with a fifth-place finish in discus.
