Baseball is a game in which the little things make all the difference. Senior Zeke Myers is clearly doing them. Batting in the critical number four spot and described by his coach as a power hitter, Myers’ bat has come alive in clutch moments this season, helping the ’Canes to overcome some of their fiercest competition. Defensively, he is as dependable as it gets; Myers is error-free thus far this season.

“Zeke is a gifted athlete and leader,” said coach Tony Hammon. “As a member of our team council, he provides strong leadership both on and off the field.”

For his contributions to the Hurricane baseball program in both athleticism and leadership, Coral Shores’ Zeke Myers is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

With spring break providing a short respite from a full slate of games for Keys teams, the Keys Weekly is proud to take a look back and introduce our 2023-24 All-Keys teams in boys basketball and girls soccer. See pages 6 and 8. Photos by Barry Gaukel, Grace Andrew and Doug Finger.

CONCHS LOSE THREE IN CALI Hurricanes split spring break

Conch baseball took their talent to the west coast over spring break to see how they measured up to some of the highest-rated ball clubs in California. They opened their long-distance series with the Sonora Raiders, who hail from La Habra, just outside the Anaheim city limits. Key West struck first in inning three when Auggy Davila walked, then was advanced when the pitcher balked with Nelson Ong at the plate. Ong then laid down a sacrifice bunt to get Davila to third and Caden Pichardo grounded out, giving Davila the opportunity to cross the plate and give Key West the lead. Sonora tied it up in inning four and from there, it was a defensive battle into extra innings. Anthony Lariz pitched a phenomenal game, lasting 8 innings and striking out 11 batters in the process. But the game would last 10 innings, and Sonora managed to score the walk-off run to end it, 2-1. The Conchs had 5 hits in the loss, with 1 each from Steel Mientkiewicz, Caden Pichardo, Sam Holland, Jacob Burnham and Roman Garcia.

The following day, Key West was paired with the Wolverines of Aliso Niguel High School. The Conchs’ bats were in action, with Garcia leading the way with a pair of doubles. Mientkiewicz and Lariz had two hits each and Holland, Pichardo and Noah Burnham had one each. Key West outhit the Wolverines, but 6 walks, 4 hit batters and 3 errors outweighed the Conchs’ 7 hits en route to an 11-6 loss.

The final game of the trip was against the Tritons of San Clemente. The game was scoreless through 4-1/3 innings until the Tritons broke the game wide open, scoring 5 runs off of 4 hits, a walk and an error to take the lead. Key West answered with 2 runs in the sixth but the Tritons scored 4 more in the final inning to put the game out of reach. Key West registered 6 hits, with 1 each from Holland, who doubled, plus Noah Burnham, Nelson Ong, Davila, Mientkiewicz and Garcia. Jacob Burnham pitched 6 innings, striking out 6 Tritons, and Christian Koppal closed the final inning, striking out 2 in the 11-6 loss. Key West will get some rest before they host the Bandits of ABF Academy Homestead on Friday, March 29.

Coral Shores stayed closer to home over break, traveling as far as Miami to face the 7A Buccaneers of South Dade High School on March 18. The 3A ’Canes struggled offensively, losing 11-0 in 4-1/3 innings. Keller Blackburn had the only hit for Coral Shores, a single in the fifth inning. The Hurricanes had better luck at home on March 21 against the independent Rays of Mater Academy Bay. Grayden Ross started on the mound for the ’Canes, pitching an entire game and striking out a dozen batters, walking 1 and allowing 3 hits. Donovan Thiery was 3-for-4 at the plate with a triple and 2 singles. Ezekiel Myers was also 3-for-4 with a double and a pair of singles. Maykol BonitoRodriguez and Mason Clark accounted for the rest of the Hurricane hits in the 6-0 win.

Marathon took a break last week, returning to action in perhaps its most challenging game of the season. Coral Shores made the short trip to the Middle Keys to play Marathon on March 25 in what would prove to be a pitchers’ duel until the final innings. In a game that went scoreless through the first five frames, just a single run at the top of the sixth inning would eventually give Coral Shores a 1-0 victory. For full game coverage, see the April 4 edition of the Sports Wrap.

5 MARCH 28, 2024 / KEYS WEEKLY SPORTS WRAP

Key West’s James Osborne averaged a stellar 17.1 points and 2.3 assists per game for the Conchs, shooting with 49% accuracy and improving with each game he played. Coach Dexter Butler had plenty of praise for his young shooting guard, saying, “James had a phenomenal sophomore campaign this season as he led the way offensively and really took a huge leap forward with his ball handling, passing, and how can I not mention scoring.”

Coral Shores sophomore Donovan Thiery led his team in both scoring, averaging 14.4 points per game, and shooting percentage, with 52% accuracy. The talented guard is deadly all over the court, with the ability to sink a three as easily as he can dunk the ball. His coaches were particularly pleased with his strong performances at key times throughout the season.

THE 2023-24 ALL-KEYS BOYS BASKETBALL TEAM

Monroe County’s boys basketball teams gave fans competitive games to enjoy all season long, especially in their in-county matchups.

Key West finished on top this season with an 11-12 record, including a postseason win against Sunset and sweeps of Marathon and Coral Shores. Though it once was the expectation that the larger-school Conchs defeat their smaller in-county opponents, that has not been the case for several years. However, the late Dexter Butler’s leadership led his young squad in the right direction. Without a single senior on their roster and only one junior in the starting lineup, the Conchs look to grow even stronger in the coming seasons.

Marathon, 7-9, managed to pick up steam as the season wore on. The Fins lost their first two games against Coral Shores as well as both against Key West, yet managed a win in their third go at the Hurricanes. Though Marathon graduates three starters, their bench is young yet experienced, including a pair of middle schoolers who saw significant playing time during the season.

Coral Shores finished 7-13 with two of their wins against neighboring Marathon. The ’Canes will certainly feel the loss of a senior-heavy roster, but have plenty of talented juniors and underclassmen waiting to fill in the spots on the lineup.

Conchs junior Kameron Roberts averaged 9.8 points and nearly 2 assists per game offensively. With 1.4 steals per game, he proved to be a formidable defender as well. “Kameron had another solid season for us – he is always all over the court, making timely shots when we need them and always ready to play,” said coach Dexter Butler. “This will be a huge senior season for him.”

Demarcus Deroche averaged 10.3 points per game with a 64% field goal percentage. His dominance in the paint is illustrated by his 7.6 rebounds and 2.2 blocks per game. When Deroche joined the Conchs midseason, head coach Dexter Butler said he “gave us a missing piece to our puzzle,” adding that the freshman is “a special kind of athlete, with the ability to dominate in the paint for the next three years.”

Marathon’s Adrian Cruz scored 322 points this season for a career total of 487. He was credited with 69 assists as well. Described by coach Jim Murphy as “a leader on and off the court,” Cruz finished his 60-game career with the Fins with a standout senior campaign.

Grant added 244 points to make it a career 302 for the Fins in his senior season. In addition to what coach Jim Murphy described as “many game-changing threes in big games,” Grant accumulated 105 rebounds to keep the ball in Marathon’s possession.

Described by the Coral Shores coaching staff as “a consistent tough competitor,” Ayden Lane led the ’Canes in both offensive and defensive rebounds. The junior forward averaged 11 points and 2.4 assists per game, making him an allaround solid player.

Praised by his coaches for his hard-playing style, AJ Johnson was key for the Hurricanes in locking down their opponents on defense. Johnson was second in rebounding for Coral Shores and he used his athleticism and will to win to give his team a spark when it was most needed.

Garcia, a first-year varsity player, stepped up big-time for Marathon, scoring 217 points and earning 27 steals. The only Fin to start all 27 games this season, Garcia was a dependable workhorse for Marathon’s defense.

THE 2023-24 ALL-KEYS GIRLS SOCCER TEAM

Squads chock full of young talent

Though the final records of girls soccer squads throughout the island chain may not be what teams had hoped for, there’s plenty of reason for optimism from Key Largo to Key West.

Key West finished the season 7-8-1 despite the loss of multiple key players due to injury, securing the district runner-up trophy after knocking out the top seed in the semifinals. The Conchs graduate five seniors, but have a deep pool of talent waiting on the roster for a chance to step up next season.

Coral Shores was 3-10-1, with two of those wins and the tie coming from matches against Marathon. The ’Canes graduate a single senior, which meant an enormous amount of playing time for the young roster and tremendous potential for the next few seasons.

Marathon went 2-10-2 on the season, including an 8-0 shutout against International Studies. The Fins will lose three seniors to graduation, but with players who made the varsity roster as middle schoolers, the squad has plenty of potential to gel and become a force in the coming seasons.

MVP

00Teagan Lavin

SENIOR | KWHS GOALKEEPER

The Lady Conchs’ keeper Teagan Lavin was subjected to a tough schedule this season and still managed to help lead her team to 7 wins. The senior leader shut out the opposition 4 times last season and anchored the Conch defense with a great combination of leadership and patience. Head coach Scott Paul said, “Teagan is a player that is always focused and has top-level keeper skills that she developed over the years.”

11

Rain Banks

SENIOR | MHS MIDFIELDER

Marathon’s Rain Banks ended her seventh year of varsity play for the Fins leading her team in both goals and assists. A captain for the past three seasons, Banks enriched the Dolphins with her leadership and experience. “She is driven and hardworking on and off the field,” said coach Cathy Warner. “She has really good footwork, and controls the ball with grace and ease.”

21

Kai Redruello is a player with a fantastic final touch with quick instincts to boot. She was looked to as a finisher for the ’Canes for her ability to put the ball into the net from nearly any spot on the field. Despite her talent, the sophomore was selfless in her play, assisting others’ goals as often as she scored her own.

Described as a leader on and off the field for the Conchs, Grace Andrew used the past two seasons honing her skills to become one of Key West’s top players in 2024.

Coach Scott Paul praised her contributions to the team, saying Andrew “continued to be dominant this season, holding down the middle of the field (and) combining physicality, intelligent play and athleticism in her play in the middle of the defense for us.”

After changing positions this season, Key West’s Maeve O’Hearn immediately took to her new role as sweeper, leading her team with a quiet, positive presence.

“Her tenacity along with a very smart field presence helped us develop into a team that could rely on the defense when our offense was not clicking,” said coach Scott Paul. “She was key to the back line working as a unit that continued to grow from last season.”

Jordan MacDonald used her role as a midfielder to set up others to finish, particularly with her skill at taking kicks. The hard-working junior proved to be both talented and selfless on the field. Coach Cathy Warner described MacDonald as “a fantastic complement to the girls around her, always aware of her surroundings, making plays and setting up others to finish.”

Tiny but mighty, Coral Shores’ Saydie Hendrix paired her agility with pure athleticism to steal away opponents’ opportunities and feed the ball upfield to her own team time and again last season. Described as “a force to be reckoned with” by coach Zach Owens, Hendrix was crucial in the Hurricane defense the past two seasons.

3 Kaitlyn Franco JUNIOR | KWHS MIDFIELDER

Lady Conch Kaitlyn Franco did not miss a beat after a change in position this season. The speedy junior took to her new role as midfielder as if she were born to play there. Coach Scott Paul said of Franco, “Kaitlyn’s skill level with her feet combined with her vision of the field made her a force to be reckoned with in the midfield for us this season.”

With 5 goals and 9 assists last season, Key West’s Maddie Kilduff stepped up when it counted for the Conchs. After the team lost several players to injury, Kilduff filled in and quickly made it apparent that she belonged in the starting lineup. “Maddie’s skills, combined with a high-intensity field presence, increase every year, and she should be absolutely dominant next season for us,” said Conchs coach Scott Paul.

Ali Beth Wilson has the speed and footwork necessary to make her deadly whenever the ball is in her possession. A scoring machine for the Hurricanes, Wilson has another season to go. The swift forward has shown steady improvement, making her senior campaign an exciting one.

Described by coach Cathy Warner as “the wheels and speed” of the Fins’ defense, Perdomo combined her hard work and athleticism to become a key distributor for Marathon. “She was always there to clean up anything that got in the way of the goal,” added Warner.

3 Daniuska Perdomo FRESHMAN | MHS GOALKEEPER

Just a freshman, Perdomo already has two career shutouts to her credit, and the hardworking keeper got better as the season progressed. Coach Cathy Warner praised Perdomo, saying “she has an innate ability to read a field and cut off the play.”

10

GISSELLE “JAZZY” DIEGUEZ

Key West’s Jazzy Dieguez proved to be a multi-talented athlete this season, splitting time as a forward and midfielder for part of the season, then shoring up the Conch defense as the team made its way through the district brackets. Dieguez was described by her coach as “a player who is constantly working on her game, and she put this on display finishing the season with 9 goals and 2 assists to lead the team in scoring.”

2

Conchs head coach Scott Paul summed up Turner’s role for Key West succinctly, saying, “Colbie is on track to being one of the very best defenders in the Keys after completing her sophomore year by taking over the outside defender position the second half of the season. Colbie is fast, physical, and getting to be quite a skillful player on the field.”

6

Jans

Hurricane midfielder Sofia Jans was key in ball distribution for Coral Shores. Described as a team player who will not be outworked, Jans’ quick instincts and ability to put the ball into the net or pass it off to a teammate with a better shot make her an asset all over the field.

KEY WEST HANGS ON TO DEFEAT VERO BEACH IN EXTRA INNINGS

Alexa Condella’s single seals Lady Conch victory

Vero Beach braved the high season traffic and torrential downpours to play the southernmost softball team on March 23 in the only game to take place during Monroe County’s spring break.

The visiting Indians took the lead in inning three and held on until the seventh when the Lady Conchs tied it up, sending the game into extra innings. Key West had a chance to win it in inning 8 when Tavyn Gage singled, then advanced on a passed ball, but the Indian defense locked down the rest of the lineup, leaving Gage stranded on second.

In the ninth inning, Brianna Brenner fanned three in a row to end any chance for a Vero Beach rally. Alexandra Rodriguez then

singled to get things going for the Conchs. Vera Rodger made contact next, sending a line drive deep into right field and sending Rodriguez clear to third. Alexa Condella then singled to center field, bringing Rodriguez home with the walk-off to end the game.

Rodriguez went 4-for-5 on the afternoon, while Gage and Scarlet Niles each hit a single and a double. Rodger, Condella, Shylo Sanchez and Monica Bueno accounted for the rest of Key West’s dozen hits. Brenner and Nevaeh Arnold paired up to strike out 12 Vero Beach batters. The 4-5 Conchs will have to wait a week to even up their record; no games are scheduled for any Keys teams due to Miami-Dade and Broward counties being on spring break this week.
