THIS WEEK

She helped us set the pace of the games, coming up huge on the draw. She was instrumental in moving the offense and defense to create opportunities for either herself or others to go to goal.”

10 goals draw controls

When the Lady Conchs started the season, they knew they would have to dig deep to overcome their young and somewhat inexperienced roster. It would take athletes stepping up and leading the charge, and junior Kaitlyn Piloto answered that call. The hard-working athlete has shone when the Conchs most needed a star – most recently in their district quarterfinal game, in which she netted 5 goals to help lead her team into the next round of playoffs.

In total last week, Piloto scored 6 goals, was credited with a pair of assists, and won 10 draw controls. Her play helped the Conchs win against Coral Shores and stay in the game against Westminster Christian, and though the outcome was not what Piloto and her team had hoped for, her strong showing will help set the stage for a deeper run in her senior campaign. For giving her all when her team needed her most, Key West’s Kaitlyn Piloto is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

KEY WEST WALK-OFF THRILLER HIGHLIGHTS

NHSI INVITE

Marathon thrashes Mater Bay on Senior Night

Key West baseball spent the end of last week in Cary, North Carolina at the USA Baseball National High School Invitational tournament, playing against the top talent in the country. The Conchs got off to a slow start, losing the first two games of the tournament, but ended strong to head back to the Southernmost City on a two-game win streak.

In game one of the tourney on April 10, Key West played Harvard-Westlake, the third-ranked team in California. The Conchs lost 10-2 despite 2 hits from Steel Mientkiewicz and 1 each from Caden Pichardo, Sam Holland and Roman Garcia. The Conchs gave up an unusual 13 hits and made 3 errors, putting a win against the high-caliber Wolverines out of reach.

The next night, the Conchs faced the No. 1-ranked team in North Carolina, Wesleyan Christian Academy, losing 9-2. The Trojans picked up 3 runs in the first inning and maintained the lead for the duration. Key West played its usual error-free defense, but stagnant bats prevented a win against Wesleyan. Nelson Ong prevented the no-hitter, connecting for a pair of Key West hits and one RBI.

In game three, Key West’s bats woke up with 6 hits against Apex Friendship, including 2 from Pichardo and 1 each from Garcia, Ong, Holland, Mientkiewicz and Anthony Lariz. Jacob Burnham pitched a full game, striking out 7, walking 2 and giving up just 4 hits. The win over the Patriots was punctuated by a thrilling walk-off from Mientkiewicz at the bottom of the seventh inning to give the Conchs the 4-3 victory.

Game four pitted Key West against the Firebirds of Chaparral High, a top-tier team from Scottsdale, Arizona, winning 9-5. Key West was good for 8 hits, 2 each from Garcia, Mientkiewicz and Ong and 1 apiece from Lariz and Auggy Davila. Christian Koppal got the start and Kasey Kasper finished out the final 2-1/3 innings to combine for a total of 5 strikeouts, giving up just 3 hits. Key West will finish its regular season in Florida with four home games, beginning with Westminster Christian on Thursday, April 18.

On April 11, the Fins found their stride against the Bulldogs of Riviera Prep. Gabe Leal and Aidan Gonzalez registered hits for Marathon, but 2 would be enough when added to 5 walks and 2 batters reaching base on Bulldog errors. Ziels pitched an entire game, striking out 9, walking 1 and giving up 3 hits in the 4-0 win.

The following night, Marathon earned a mercyrule win over Mater Bay Academy on the team’s senior night, defeating the Rays 12-2. The Fins took an early lead, scoring 4 in inning one, and never let up. Gabe Leal had 3 hits and 3 RBIs to lead the offensive onslaught. Ziels and Jack Chapman had 2 hits apiece with Thornton, Gonzalez, Tommy Norris and Michael Merryman contributing 1 each. Leal did the heavy lifting on the mound for Marathon, facing 23 of the Rays’ 26 batters. Piscetello took on the final 3 to close out the game.

Marathon started the week off at home against Palmer on April 9. The Fins’ bats were unusually stagnant, amassing just 3 hits, 1 each from Dylan Williams, Dylan Ziels and Roco Piscetello. Ziels had an RBI and Piscetello stole a base, but the Falcons managed to squeak out 4 runs to Marathon’s 1. Mason Thornton lasted 6 innings on the mound, fanning 4 and allowing just 3 hits with no walks. Ziels turned out the lights in the final frame with three up and three down, but 5 errors cost the Fins in the loss.

The Coral Shores Hurricanes traveled to Miami on April 8 to face Brito High School. The ’Canes managed 8 hits, but a 9-run rally from Brito in inning two put the game out of reach early. Campbell Lavoie and AJ Putetti had a pair of hits each, with Putetti adding a stolen base to his stats. Donovan Thiery, Maykol Bonito-Rodriguez, Zeke Myers and Mason Clark accounted for the rest of Coral Shores’ hits. Thiery, Grayden Ross and Riley O’Berry teamed up on the mound to strike out seven batters in 4-½ innings of play before the mercy rule was applied in the 14-3 loss.

A walk-off hit from the Conchs’ Steel Mientkiewicz in the bottom of the seventh inning iced a 4-3 win over Apex Friendship at the National High School Invitational tournament. MARK HEDDEN/Keys Weekly

CONCHS DOMINATE AT MARATHON

in Fins field events

Atotal of seven South Florida teams descended on Marathon for the Middle Keys Invitational on April 8. Among those teams were all the Monroe County high schools for a Keys-wide showdown in track and field.

Key West took first place in the boys events, scoring 196 total points. Marathon was fourth with 86 points and Coral Shores was fifth with 59.5. The Lady Conchs captured second place, scoring 172 points. Marathon and Coral Shores were fourth and fifth, respectively, earning 94 and 25 points for their teams.

Key West had a slew of top finishers. Shane Lavallee was first in javelin and second in the 200. Lavallee’s 154’11” javelin toss was not only a personal record for him, but second all-time for Key West. Clerf Alexandre was first in triple jump and second in the 100. Jean Louis was first in shot put, beating out a field of 18 athletes. Jeef Dejean took third in the 100 and triple jump and second in the long jump. Anthony Jenner placed third in both the 110 hurdles and discus events. Coming in second were Malachi Telisma in high jump and Ian

Newton in pole vault. Brondson Etienne and Jeremiah Harvey were third in high jump and javelin, respectively.

Marathon’s boys had two first-place finishes in their home meet, both from Jay Marshall. Marshall won the 100and 200-meter races to maintain his status as the fastest in the Keys.

Coral Shores’ boys team had four athletes crack the top three. Xavier Johnson was second in the 110 high hurdles. William Davila and Ethan Marguet took third in the 400-meter and 800-meter runs, respectively, while Ambrose Sanchez captured third in the 400 hurdles.

The Lady Conchs had strong performances across the board. Audrey Smith won the javelin event, while Alyssandra Camargo took first in the 400. Key West’s final first-place finisher was Caylaa Makimaa, who won the two-mile event, then took third in the mile. Dazmine Jenkins used her speed to claim a pair of second places in the 100- and 200-meter races. Anabel Portuondo was second in pole vault, Claire Boysen was second in shot put, and Colleen Barter was third in the high jump event. Kaylee Matas Cabuzuelo was third in

’CANES BOYS PERFECT AT SOUTH DADE

Fins earn another win on the courts of Key West

In their final matches prior to districts, Coral Shores traveled to South Dade High School on April 11 to take on the Buccaneers. The boys swept the Bucs 7-0, with wins from Makani Burga, Aidan Althouse, Johann Smith, Erik Moerner and Corden Dean in singles. In doubles action, Althouse and Smith paired up for a win in the first match and Moerner and Dean picked up another win in doubles match number two. South Dade gave the Lady ’Canes a bit more resistance. Kai Redruello won the No. 4 singles match and Macy Cakans won No. 5. Redruello teamed up with Kai Guth to win the second doubles match, but the Buccaneers pulled off four wins to Coral Shores’ three.

Key West and Marathon also played their final regular-season matches on April 11. Marathon’s boys doubled their wins for the season, defeating the Conchs 5-2. Adrien Holdinga, Tanner Snowden and Matt Delgado won their singles matches and Holdinga and Snowden plus Delgado and Carlos Lezcano picked up a pair of doubles wins for the Fins. Key West won a point from Michael Grodzinski in the singles No. 3 match plus a forfeit at the No. 5 spot.

The Lady Conchs were dominant against the Fins, with wins from Amalia Strunk, Juliana Strunk and Violet Jangraw in singles as well as sweeping the doubles matches. Eva Drozdetskaia and Gabriela Aguero won the first doubles match, then the Strunk sisters won the second. Marathon’s lone win came from No. 2 singles player Rain Banks.

Marathon and Coral Shores, both classified in the smaller 1A division, will compete at their district matches on the campus of Miami Dade Community College. 2A Key West will be at Tropical Park in hopes of sending their athletes to the next round of competition. Districts for both divisions were held April 15 and 16 (results not available at press time).

FINS BEAT CARROLLTON IN ONLY WIN FOR KEYS TEAMS

Key West’s Niles slams sixth home run

Dolphins softball secured the only win among Keys teams last week as postseason approaches for at least two squads.

The Fins’ Elena Eubank registered 3 hits and 3 RBIs in a 7-2 win over the Carrollton Cyclones on April 10. Sara Robinson had 2 hits while Madelyn Thornton, Maeve Merryman, Shynell McGuire, Eli Roque and Daniela Gonzalez each had a hit. Allison Garcia pitched 7 innings, striking out 6, walking 3 and giving up 4 hits. Eubank had the only hit in a 10-0 loss to the Miami Country Day Spartans on April 9.

Conch softball was tested against tough competition during the Orange Bowl Florida Fastpitch Invitational at Palmetto Bay Park. The Lady Conchs started off with an 11-3 loss to the Westminster Academy Lions on April 12. Key West had 11 hits from eight players, but the Lions racked up 14 to outscore the Conchs. Scarlet Niles, Tavyn Gage and Nina Manresa each had a pair of hits. Niles and Manresa hit doubles. Julene Vega, Alexandra Rodriguez, Shylo Sanchez, Lilee Gage and Alexa Condella accounted for the rest.

Later that day, the St. Thomas Aquinas Raiders defeated the Conchs 14-1. Sanchez and Vera Rodger singled for Key West, which had 2 hits against the Raiders.

The next day, Key West played the Riverdale Raiders out of Fort Myers. Down by 4 runs in the fifth inning, the Conchs rallied to come within one of the win, but the Raiders held on for the 5-4 win. Riverdale started the scoring but Key West’s Niles homered to tie the game in the first inning.

In inning 6, Alexandra Rodriguez walked, stole second and scored on a Tavyn Gage line drive to center field. With Gage on base and 2 outs, Julene Vega doubled to score Gage. An error by the Raiders and an intentional walk on Niles loaded the bases. Vega scored on a wild pitch, adding a third run in the inning and sparking hopes for a Key West comeback. The rally, however, ended there with a heartbreaking loss.

Key West faced the Davie Western Wildcats in their final game of the tournament. Ranked third in 7A — a division with Florida’s largest schools — the Wildcats had early trouble getting on the board. Solid pitching by the Conchs’ Chloe Gilday helped keep the game scoreless until the bottom of the third inning, when 3 errors and a double put the Western Wildcats ahead 4-0. Key West accounted for 5 errors in the game, proving to be as unfortunate as it was unusual for the team. Four more Wildcats hits in the fourth inning added 3 runs to the lead, putting the game out of reach for the Conchs. Breanna Breener teamed up with Gilday

6 Scarlet Niles

Key West’s Scarlet Niles homered to tie the game in the first inning against the Riverdale Raiders on April 13.

for 4 strikeouts in the loss. Niles, Rodriguez, Manresa and Monica Bueno each singled for Key West. Coral Shores’ final home game of the season came on April 12 against the Everglades City Gators. The Lady ’Canes came out of the gates with a win in mind, leading 11-8 through the fourth inning. The Gators regrouped, found their stride and gained the forward momentum. By the final inning, Coral Shores was on the losing end of a 26-11 score, but not before enjoying their best offensive showing of the season.

The ’Canes did a fine job getting on base with some solid hitting and careful watching. Chloie Stanley connected for an impressive triple that landed over the center fielder’s head, just shy of the fence, driving in two batters in the process. The Lady ’Canes’ Jenna Mandozzi scored 3 runs. Venessa Cawley, Alex Burson, Chloie Stanley and Grace Maples scored 2 each and Mira Jones crossed the plate one time.

The starting pitcher, Jones, had an impressive showing for the ’Canes. The loss likely ended the season for the Hurricanes, who do not participate in a district. The team, whose roster does not include an upperclassman, gained valuable experience which will continue to pay off in upcoming seasons.

District games will begin for Key West and Marathon later this month. Brackets will be determined after the final rankings report later this week.

Marathon’s Elena Eubank had 3 hits and 3 RBIs in a 7-2 win over the Carrollton Cyclones on April 10.

KEYS LACROSSE TEAMS FALL OUT OF PLAYOFFS

Lady Conchs best Lady ’Canes in first round

In postseason lacrosse action, Key West’s boys’ winning record and strength of schedule earned a coveted bye.

Coral Shores played Westminster Christian in the FHSAA 1A District Quarterfinals on April 11.

Key West, ranked third in the district, was scheduled to play second-ranked Ransom Everglades on April 12. The Conchs beat the Raiders on March 9, giving Key West every reason to believe a trip to the district finals was possible. But it would be Ransom which went on to play perennial powerhouse Gulliver in the championship game. Key West lost 10-4, ending their season earlier than they had hoped, but far stronger than the previous year. Noah Collins scored half of the Conchs’ goals. Carter Sessoms and Eddie Moline scored the remainder.

The Hurricanes and Warriors faced off just over one week prior, so coach Chris Carrow and his team knew what to expect. The quarterfinals would be the end of the road for the ’Canes, losing 9-3 to the higher-ranked Warriors -- a deficit three goals smaller than their previous matchup. Lucas Carballo scored 2 goals for the Hurricanes and Yandel

Chaguaseda scored 1. Lucas Hajec was credited with 2 assists and Zane Martinez added 1 assist to his stats.

When the rankings came out and the rosters were populated, Monroe County’s two girls lacrosse teams were pitted against one another, ensuring that at least one team would move on into the semifinals but also ensuring that one team would be eliminated early. The Lady Hurricanes’ season ended April 11 in Key West’s backyard, as the Conchs won 8-4 in a hard-fought battle for a spot in the semis. The game was closer

than the final score indicates. Key West was ahead 2-1 at the end of the first quarter. By halftime, the Conchs kept the advantage with a 3-2 score, and at the end of quarter three, it was 5-4. Key West pulled away in the final quarter and gave themselves some breathing room. Kaitlyn Piloto led the scoring for the Conchs with 5 goals. Ella Bishop netted 2 and Deanna Mercier scored 1.

Ava Brock, Eisley Whitehead and Mercier were each credited with an assist. Goalkeeper Courtney Grabus had 5 saves, a ground ball and 1 caused turnover in the win. Piloto won 7 draw controls and picked up a ground ball and Bishop had one draw control and 4 ground balls. Conchs head coach Marisa Giacopuzzi was pleased with her team’s performance, especially in the fourth quarter in which the Conchs prevented any ’Canes’ scoring.

“We also had some huge turnovers,” she said, also praising individual players for their efforts. “Celeste Loy and Ava Brock fought for the ball back on a ’Canes transition. Deanna Mercier, our center, came up with 3 caused turnovers; Colbie Turner caused turnovers; even goalie Courtney Grabus had an interception. Kaitlyn Piloto was unstoppable all over the field, from dominating the draw to going to goal; she had an incredible game tallying 5 goals.”

Coral Shores did not go down without a fight, though. The Lady ’Canes kept the game within reach until the final quarter. Iona Holmquist scored 2 goals

while Nicole Gray and Shay Stober netted 1 each. Holmquist was credited with picking up an incredible 10 ground balls, while Stober scooped 5. Makayla Hann had 1 interception in the game.

The following night, Key West traveled to Westminster Christian without an opportunity to rest or regroup. They were hoping for a redemption of a loss earlier this season, but that was not in the cards for the Conchs. Turnovers would be the team’s undoing against the Warriors, who beat the Conchs 13-9. There were 15, too many to overcome. Despite the turnovers, Key West managed to find the net nine times in just 11 shots on goal. Brock scored 2 and assisted on another. Mercier netted 3 goals, Maeve O’Hearn scored 2 and Turner had 1. Piloto scored 1 and assisted 2 others.

“Courtney Grabus had an insane game with 22 saves and three ground balls,” Giacopuzzi said. “She saw a lot of action, made some huge patient plays to help keep the ball in our sticks and ran the clock at the end of some quarters. When the ball is in our sticks, we're in control. Problem was, we couldn't keep it in our sticks long enough.”

Despite losing in the semifinals, Giacopuzzi said it wasn't all bad.

“At the end of the day, we had a lot to celebrate, so many individual victories, so many team wins, so much thrown at us this season, and we persevered,” she said.
