Varsity & JV Cheerleading

Waldo with a > Cheerleader

This year the 2002-2003 Belen Junior Varsity Cheerleaders attended a Top Gun Camp hosted by Víctor Rosario. Individually, cheerleaders perfected their stunting abilities and techniques. During the year, the cheerleaders participated in numerous peprallies and games. The team has surpassed all expectations, and is without a doubt, the best Junior Varsity Cheerleading team in Belen’s history.

The 2003-2003 Belen Varsity cheerleaders, likewise, began the year attending a Top Gun Camp. Supporting the guys by going to as many games as possible, no matter how far the drive, attending all the pep-rallies, and even decorating the locker room showed our spirit toward Belen. One of our biggest rewards was the bundle of joy that came along with our coach, little Kyle Rodríguez.

Team Record: 18-11

The 2002-2003 season will go down in basketball history books as one of the most exciting ever. The Wolverines played in five overtime games winning four. Two of the overtime games were quadruple overtime wins. The team also renewed an old rivalry with Columbus after a seventeen-year absence. Other notable games included victories over South Dade, St. Brendan and LaSalle in addition to three hard-fought games versus Gulliver Prep. The Varsity Basketball team ended their season with a record of 18 wins and 11 losses. Alejandro Guardiola led the Woverines with 20 points per game including a school record 44-point effort against Curley Anthony Fernández averaged a double for the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds per game and Alejandro Tellería added 10 points per game as the sixth man. Jean Paul Bermúdez was second on the team in rebounds, while Gabriel Bermúdez led the team in assists. Anthony Torrente and Christopher Gueits added experience and defense. Ignacio Duquesne, Javier Morejón, Stephen Putman, Daniel Rodríguez, and Iván Echenique contributed greatly off the bench.

The basketball program learned many things from its Senior players. The commitment, desire and hard work displayed by all of them has shown the underclassmen the way to succeed. This attitude, in conjunction with the underclassmen's natural ability, paints a bright future for basketball at Belen. We would also like to thank Vince Fernández for all his help during these past three seasons.

The Varsity Crew was a young and determined team this year. Only four seniors finished the season, with the bulk of the team made up of sophomores who performed well beyond their expectations. All three boats qualified for the FSRA State Championships giving Belen an entry in every category The J.V. four placed second in the State Championship regatta after an incredible final race where they held off Pine Crest in the last second. The Third four did the unthinkable by winning the State Championship in their category, giving Belen it's first ever Gold medal at this regatta. The Varsity Crew had the toughest job all season. Every weekend these seniors would face the fastest crews in the State and letting them know that the Belen Varsity crew was there, was fast, and was ready to race. This year, with three medals at the State Championships, the Belen Crew made it clear we were the new rowing power in Florida Scholastic Crew. The team would like to thank Coach Alex Salas for all his hours of hard work and commitment to the team. Thanks also to the Parents Club for making the season possible.

JV CREW

For the first time the Novice/Freshmen Crews competed in both the fall and spring rowing seasons. Two sets of tryouts brought the team many gifted athletes. The novices started the season long on enthusiasm, but short on know-how They quickly picked up the "stroke" and were off to winning races in several regattas. Among the highlights of the Frosh/ Novice Crew, was a First place finish at the Miami International Regatta against cross-town rival MRC.The Crew ended the year, qualifying for the FSRA State Championship, and placing third in the State at the Finals. The team would like to thank Coaches René Revuelta and Alex Salas for their support and dedication.

They travelled as far as North Carolina to compete in the Great American XC festival, where they finished 5th from a field of teams from across the nation.

Paul Santuoso, Michael Jalil, Jonathan Mederos, René Medina, and Daniel Castellanos anchored the Wolverines to a 5th Place finish at the State Meet.

Varsity Football

Individual Recognition: 1st Team all County- Christopher Gueits, RenÈ Veliz, Ignacio Duquesne, David Caballero and GastÛn Fontela.

The 2002 Varsity Football team was the best team in Belen football history. This fine group of young men won 10 games and lost 2, which included a regular season record of 9-1. This is the first Belen football team to win a total of 10 games and the team tied the 1990 team for the most regular season wins.

The team accomplished all of this without having a home field advantage. The 12 games were played at 11 different fields, with our home games played at Tropical Park, LaSalle, Palmer Trinity, FIU twice and finally, our Homecoming game at Belen’s new football stadium. The team and coaches also overcame the everyday obstacles of commuting with lots of equipment to practice at Tamiami Park. Team leaders such as Chris Gueits, David Caballero, René Veliz, Louis González, René Larrieu and Gabby Fontela and the rest of a very strong Senior class, made sure the team stayed focused and didn’t let the hardships of not having a home field interfere with the team’s success.

Some of the season highlights include the following:

- Shutting out Gulliver 28-0. 1982 was the last time Belen shut Gulliver out.

- Belen school record of 56 points in a half against LaSalle.

- Blowing out Crescent City 39-6 for the 10th straight Homecoming victory

- A 53-28 victory over BayPoint after trailing 22-21 at the half.

- Being the first Belen team to start a season 8-0.

This Senior class of 2003 was truly amazing. Their 3-year Varsity record is an incredible 28 wins and 8 losses. They will not only go down as the best group of Belen football players but as great leaders, hard workers and good people. Thanks for the memories and best of luck in the future!

Asst. Coaches: Eddie Delgado, Germ·n Delgado, Eddie Esslinger & Augusto Venegas.

Team Recognition- 1st Place at the Miami Independent School Championship

The 2003 season was the inaugural State Boys Volleyball FHSAA series in Florida. We were really excited about attending our first district tournament. This kept the team focused and motivated throughout the season.

Leading the team was Captain Víctor Ruiz (hitter), and Co-captain Juan Andión (setter). They were the anchors of the team. Helping at the net were seniors Jean Paul Bermúdez (middle hitter), Carlos Wiltz (outside hitter), and Américo Padilla (blocker), and junior Danny Fernández (outside hitter). Defensive specialists were Tim Halpin and Alex León. Our ace server was Adrián Díaz.

The highlight of the season was the tournament at Ransom. The team really came together as a unit. They beat rival Greater Miami Academy and Ransom to take 1st Place. Juan Andión served 13 in a row to win 15-10.

This year’s team was a wonderful group of young men. Their attitude towards the game and each other made a big difference in their performance this year. It was a true pleasure to coach them and see their progress throughout the season. I’d like to wish the best to the 5 graduating seniors. We will miss you. Also, a special thank you to Mrs. Bermúdez who helped with the score-keeping and the parents and teachers who supported our team.

Individual Recognation: Jason Machado- 1st Team All County, 1st Team All State and State Champion (119lbs.)

The Wrestling team had one tough season. Only losing Head Captain and State Champion David Bouza to graduation, the team looked like it would have another great season, but this year turned out to be bitter-sweet. After several veterans decided to end their careers early, the team took a big hit, physically and mentally. However, they were not going to let that stop them from working hard and doing their job. Flooded with first year seniors and junior high veterans the team began suffering from various injuries. Going into the District Tournament without several key wrestlers, the team managed to take several 3rd and 4th place finishes, a 2nd place finish by Steven Rico and Ernie Calderín, and a 1st place by Jason Machado after being out for 2/3 of the season with a hip injury. Machado went on to wrestle at the Regional Tournament where he dislocated his ankle in the opening minutes of the Regional Championship. In the hands of any lesser man the injury would have been a nuissance but once again facing certain defeat, Machado

and showed what the true heart of a champion is made of by winning his second consecutive State Championship.

The 2002-03 J.V. Basketball Team faced tough competition and played a majority of its games on the road during this record setting season. The “road warrior” mentality seemed to bring the team together and the Wolverines finished the year with an excellent record of (21-5).

This was a very disciplined and strong-minded group of individuals that played as a team and fought hard to the end of every game. The schedule included games with rivals Gulliver Prep, St. Brendan and Key West. Also, an old rivalry was renewed as Belen played Columbus for the first time in quite a few years.

Many exceptional performances were turned in during the course of the season. Frank Manes scored 31 points in the season finale against LaSalle and Eric Montes blocked 7 shots in that same game. The Wolverines won that contest by a score of 92-24 to record their 21st victory. Jonathan Hermida had 23 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists in a win over South Dade. Starting point guard Chris Zumárraga and power forward Fernando Arán also set single season school records in assists and rebounding, respectively.

Every player on this year’s team contributed to the team’s success and there is no doubt that several of these student-athletes will be outstanding varsity players in the years to come.

Junior Varsity Football

Head Coach: Angel Aparicio (15th Year)

Assistant Coaches: Barney Flores, Javier ValdÈs and RamÛn Crego

Team Record: 3-4

The season can be summed up in one word: “Interesting.” To start this off, they didn’t even practice on their own field and their only home game was played at La Salle. The team got off to a fast start after big wins over Pine Crest and Key West. The line, which protected QB Frank Manes through the season, consisted of guards Louis Méndez and Steven Artau, center Louis Martín, tackles David Monzón and Miguel Mármol, and tight end Carlos Nieto. The RB’s Charlie Manrara, Danny Rodríguez, Ferny Arán, Jimmy Fenton, Brian Dominguez, Jonathan Hernandez, and Carlos Roque racked up yards on the ground. Even though the running backs took an early blow losing Maickoll Papastavros because of an injury, they still managed to hold together and succeed.

The Defense was led by Jimmy Fenton, Louis Méndez, Charlie Manrara and Carlos Nieto as they helped douse the fires of opposing offenses. The defensive line consisting of Jimmy Fenton, Ray Milián, and Alex Capote, dominated the opposing offensive lines, while linebackers Louis Méndez, Steven Artau, Ferny Arán, Eddy Regalado, and Eric Knott shut down the running game. Our secondary led by Charlie Manrara, Carlos Nieto, Brian Domínguez, Peter Pidermann, Chris Zumárraga, Danny Rodríguez, and Jorge Ugarte shut down the aerial attack. Without the leadership of Head Coach Angel Aparicio, and assistant coaches Barney Flores, Javy Valdez, and Ramón “Mongo” Crego we wouldn’t have been able to make it through the season. We were able to come together through a mix of emotions, personalities, laughter, and tears to step up to the challenge of the toughest JV schedule ever.

Junior Varsity Soccer

Head Coach: Hugo GarcÌa (2nd Year)

Team Record:

We started the soccer season with try-outs, where thirty kids came out competing for eighteen spots . The JV team had an excellent mix of kids from eighth, ninth and tenth grades.

The players showed great interest and discipline, which helped us do our job. The physical, technical and tactical aspects of the game were learned quickly The kids always absorbed the information focusing in the main objective which is to be in the Varsity team.

Our season went well without any inconveniences, we hope that in the future the work done by these players will help coach Fabio Ortega and Assistant Hugo García to many succesful years of soccer for Belen.

Head Coach: Thomas de Quesada (1st Year)

Team Record: 21-5

Team Honors: ACC Champions (Regular Season & Tournament), 3rd Place - Columbus Pre-Season Tournament

Individual Honors: Tony QuezadaColumbus Tour. All-Star

The 2002-2003 Junior High Basketball team had an exceptional season because of the outstanding teamwork it exhibited on and off the court. Led by first-year coach, Thomas de Quesada, the team repeated as champions of the ACC. The team was well balanced with seven 7th graders and seven 8th graders. The group was led all season by the hustle and charisma of Tony Quezada and Giovanni Christodoulou. Steven Agras provided the inside presence and outstanding scoring ability, and Agustín Guardiola's court vision made the offense flow all season long.

In the end, what made the unit a special one was its commitment to defense. Defense is was what propelled the team to its biggest victories all season against St. Michael's and St. Agnes. Depth was also a contributor to the team's success and everyone was able to share in the enjoyment of the year.

The 2003 Baseball season was unique and full of excitement due to the completion of our new baseball fields. The team was finally able to play their 2003 season in the field of dreams. The team was driven by five 8th grade players that were strong-minded and diversified. One outstanding player that anchored the team by playing multiple positions and was the recipient of MVP award was Pablo Vinent. Another sensational player that secured the infield with his soft hands and great bat authority and given the Coach’s award was Giovanni Christodoulou. In addition, and just as great was Emmanuel Gómez, Rosendo Forms, and Juan Sotolongo who played with their hearts every game. The team would not have been complete without the 7th graders who also contributed to the team’s success and enjoyable year

6th Grade Basketball

The Sixth Grade Basketball team had two goals in mind this year. First, each player dedicated himself to become a better basketball player and improve with each practice and every game. Second, and most important, was to have fun playing the game and enjoy the experience.

The team played with a lot of heart all season long. After getting off to a slow start, the Wolverines came back to win 5 of its last 6 games.

Jorge Menocal averaged 9 points and 3.5 steals per game. He is an extremely versatile player and proved it by playing four different positions during the course of the season. Starting center Mario Rojas contributed 9 points and 9 rebounds per game and was a major force at the defensive end of the court. Luis Wulff ran the offense, led the team in assists and definitely has much more Belen basketball in his future.

This team demonstrated consistent improvement throughout the year and really came together as a team at the end of the season.

Thanks to the parents of all the players for their support and enthusiasm.

The 2003 Sixth Grade Baseball team was full of energetic talent. They faced the All-Catholic Conference with a strong defense and long bats in hand to secure runs. The team was rarely contested on the field as they hammered their way towards season championship. The season was a great success due to the outstanding pitching on the mound of elite players like Mario Rojas, Luis Wulff, Will Harrison, Nick Llaca and René Gómez and Joe Capparelli, who was just as great behind the plate catching. Not to be left behind was Zachary Berger and Andrés Wiltz whose big bats showed up in a demanding way, as well as Eric De Lara and Eric Donado and their soft hands in the in-field. Securing the outfield, playing multiple positions and keeping runs from scoring were Adam Bofill, Lázaro Rodríguez, Angel Faraldo, Manny Abella, Javier Castañeda, Javier Sosa, and Michael Collantes. This outstanding combination of players led the team to victory time after time. They turned in an undefeated season and topped it off with the ACC Southern Division Championship.
