ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

GABRIEL

Senior, Coral Shores Girls Weightlifting

Vanessa is a very determined athlete who strives for the best in every opportunity. She takes direction well and quickly adjusts when given feedback, showing both discipline and resilience.”
— Erin Hamilton, Coral Shores weightlifting coach

200

pounds clean and jerk state championships

Shores senior Vanessa Gabriel has been accumulating quite the medal collection in weightlifting this winter. Gabriel won dual district golds last month, added a pair of regional golds two weeks ago, and on Feb. 13, she picked up two state gold medals from the FHSAA 1A Championships in Lakeland. With leadership, coachability and attention to detail all being part of her character, it is no wonder that she has accomplished so much. Her coach used a Bible verse to sum up Gabriel’s heart. “Her work ethic reflects Philippians 4:13, ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me,’ as she continually pushes herself to grow stronger,” said Erin Hamilton. For her unrelenting work ethic and amazing accomplishments at the highest level of competition, Coral Shores’ Vanessa Gabriel is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.

The Florida Keys have another dual state champion in girls weightlifting. On Feb. 13, Hurricane Vanessa Gabriel silenced all challengers at the FHSAA State Championships to win both the traditional and Olympic gold medals in her Unlimited weight class. See page 4. CONTRIBUTED

Coral Shores’

Gabriel notches double lifting gold as all Keys strongwomen return from states with medals

On Feb. 13, Keys lifters made a statement in Lakeland at the FHSAA 1A State Championships in girls weightlifting. The island chain qualified four athletes for the big show and every single one returned a state medalist. Out of over 120 teams competing, both Keys teams cracked the top 10. Marathon finished in the traditional competition in a multiteam tie for seventh and Coral Shores finished 10th. In Olympic lifts, which rely more on the perfection of form than traditional, the Dolphins and Hurricanes tied for eighth, a testament to the sound fundamentals coached by Marathon’s Jessie Schubert and Coral Shores’ Erin Hamilton.

Coral Shores had just one qualifier, but senior Vanessa Gabriel made the most of it. Competing in the Unlimited category, Gabriel struck gold twice, earning the top place in both the traditional and Olympic competitions. To earn dual gold medals, Gabriel combined three impressive lifts. She began with a 135-pound snatch, which put her in a tie for second as the athletes entered into lift number two, the clean and jerk. The clean lift is the most important of the three, as it is used in calculating the winner of both competitions. Gabriel PRed with a 200-pound lift, the best of the field, to place her on the top spot of the podium with a combined total of 335 pounds – besting the second-place finisher by five pounds in the Olympic event.

disadvantage heading into the traditional event.

With a 30-pound deficit to overcome, Lee Isom left it all on the line for her final lift as a Lady Fin. She easily cleared 175 on the bench press, then scratched at 185. Instead of retrying 185, the steadfast senior added five pounds to her bar and was good for a 190-pound PR bench press and a second silver medal.

Next, Gabriel would pull off another PR on the bench, lifting 185 pounds to tie for the lead with a combined total of 385 pounds in the traditional event. To determine the winner of a tie in weightlifting events, the lighter athlete is given the advantage, and Gabriel’s lower bodyweight put her atop the podium in the traditional event, too. Within the span of a few hours, Gabriel became a two-time state champion.

Marathon qualified a trio of lifters this season, including three-time state champ Justice Lee Isom. Lee Isom started off with a PR-matching 175-pound snatch lift to tie for first. She then added a 205-pound clean and jerk for 380 combined pounds in the Olympic competition. That total, while fourth best in any weight class, was not the top total in her 183-pound division, giving Lee Isom a silver medal in the Olympic category and a

Junior Adelle Bainbridge made waves in her first year on the weightlifting team at Marathon, and a state berth would have been a perfect end to her debut season. But Bainbridge, who competes at 154, is not one to be satisfied with anything but her best. The first-time qualifier made the top 10 in both events and earned a fifth-place medal in the Olympic competition by combining a 125-pound snatch lift with a 165-pound clean and jerk. Bainbridge’s 130-pound PR bench press helped boost her to ninth place in the traditional event.

Senior Ella Evans is not new to the state competition, and her 155-pound bench press is particularly impressive given that she competes in the 119-pound class. Evans added a 145-pound clean and jerk for 300 total pounds in the traditional event, where she won bronze. Evans’ total was just shy of a state title in a competition in which first and third were separated by a mere five pounds.

FIRST DRAW

Prep lacrosse season opens with wins for all Keys teams

Feb. 9 marked the first day for official games for Florida prep lacrosse, and Keys teams launched immediately into the win column.

Coral Shores’ boys started with a three-game road series. They picked up their first win of the season with a 16-2 thrashing of Westminster Academy on opening day, then fell 16-4 to

Ransom two days later. On Feb. 3, the Hurricanes found their winning ways again, defeating Palmetto 16-2.

The 2-1 ’Canes will enjoy a home-field advantage with six straight games in the Upper Keys and will not take another trip until March 10.

The Hurricane roster boasts 28 athletes with plenty of returning talent in their senior-laden lineup.

Key West’s boys started

with a win in a 16-5 victory at Palmetto High Feb. 12. The Conchs roster, though relatively young, is 26 strong. Both Keys girls teams played one game last week, and like the gentlemen, both started in the win column.

On Feb. 11, the Lady ’Canes opened their season at home, playing district opponent St. Brendan School. Coral Shores won 14-6, with Shay Stober and Addy McNew netting three goals apiece. Ivy Tiedemann and Alexis Mahaffey each added two to the team total. Zeffie

Crockett, Saylor Wampler, Anaia Woods and Eleanor Perchalski all found the back of the net as well. Eliyana McLeod picked up six ground balls and added disruption to the Sabres’ play with three caused turnovers. Lola Stober held things down in the cage, saving eight shots on goal in her varsity debut.

The Lady Conchs played in the Backyard on Feb. 12, defeating another District 16 opponent, Palmer Trinity, 13-12. Senior captain Turner took charge, scoring five goals, assisting once and winning four draw controls. Turner also caused a pair of turnovers to wreak havoc on the visiting Falcons. Fellow captain Eisley Whitehead netted one goal and two assists while Taylor Gibson scored one and won five draws. Mavis Bishop found the back of the net six times against Palmer, then added five draw controls and a pair of interceptions to her stats as well, while Ashlyn Picco’s interception came in clutch in the back-and-forth game.

The Conchs battle-tested a pair of new goalkeepers against Palmer. Senior Alexandra Konecna registered five saves while Diya Alwani, a sophomore, had two saves, one of which prevented a late-game chance for the Falcons to tie it up. The team caused five turnovers and picked up 19 ground balls in the win.

COURT ADJOURNED

Conchs fall at Stranahan to end otherwise successful season

The Conchs came out fighting Feb. 14, intent to slay the Mighty Dragons of Stranahan in the FHSAA 4A Region 4 quarterfinals. Key West, seeded No. 7, earned a regional berth with their success within a challenging schedule, which gave them a power ranking strong enough to earn a bid to the next set of brackets despite losing in districts.

Key West came out of the gates with fire to match the Dragons, scoring 21 points in the first quarter. But Stranahan, the third-seeded team in the region, earned their ranking justly and outperformed the Conchs the rest of the way to seal the win over Key West. The Dragons increased their lead each quarter, holding the Conchs to just four points in the second and fourth.

James Osborne scored 20 points while Leandro Batista added six and Judson Snider five. The 73-36 loss spelled the end of the season for the Conchs, who finished with a solid 14-12 record and the distinction of being the longest-lasting team in Monroe County this season.

GIRL POWER Wrestlers Holushko, Wolfe advance to regionals

Wrestlers from Key West, Marathon and Coral Shores participated in the FHSAA 1A District 16 Championships on Feb. 12 at Miami Coral Park High School. When the final bout was complete, two Keys athletes had their cards punched to the next round of action, which will take place at the Region 4 tournament on Feb. 21 at South Dade Senior High.

Key West’s Maria Holushko and Marathon’s Autumn Wolfe earned automatic bids to regionals by finishing in the top four places at districts. Holushko was the runner-up in the 140-pound competition while Wolfe placed fourth at 105.

Key West’s Wenxin Yu (115) was fifth while Nalani LaBeet (110) and Emily Nolasco (105) both finished in sixth place in their weight classes. Though they did not advance automatically, there is still a chance for wrestlers finishing fifth and even sixth to win a berth to regionals when other districts do not have four qualifiers in a weight class. Those qualifiers are determined after all four districts in Region 4 have concluded their championships.

Marathon’s Autumn Wolfe holds up her fourth-place district medal, which provides her a sure spot at regionals.

While the girls were at districts, Key West’s boys hosted Coral Shores for their Senior Night. The Conchs put on a strong performance while honoring their seniors, with wins from Jake Ferguson (126), Kyle Condella (138), Michael Guzman (165) and Sandy Horn. Horn won via decision and the rest pinned their opponents. Aristerne Richardson (106), Josiah Gonzales (113), Kascper Kowalik (215) and Gionni Fernandez (285) all picked up wins via forfeit.

Hurricane winners were Sebastian McCoy (120), Gavin Matheis (132), Jeremiah Ortiz (144), Nathaniel Tristram (150), Sterling Keefe (157) and David Beltran (175).

For the gentlemen, the next stop is the FHSAA 1A District 16 Championships. This year’s event will be held in Key West where the Conchs hope to defend the title they have held since 2008. Joining Key West and Coral Shores will be athletes from Marathon’s inaugural wrestling team and the rest of District 16’s Miami teams on Feb. 20.

IWINNING WAYS

Keys teams open seasons with victories

t’s baseball season in the Keys, and last week, all three teams started their quests for postseason hardware the right way.

In their home opener Feb. 13, Key West’s Donovan Thiery effectively shut down the ABF Academy (Homestead) offense, striking out 12 of the 13 batters he faced. Thiery was surgical on the mound, tossing just 58 pitches in four innings of work. Christian Koppal and Auggy Davila held down the fort for the rest of the night, and despite being outhit 6-3, the Conchs pulled off a 5-2 win over the Bandits. Kade Maltz doubled, while Thiery and Roman Garcia each added a base hit in the team’s first official win of the season.

The following night, the Conchs faced the other ABF Academy, and the Hialeah version proved a bit more challenging. Key West struck first, stringing together a pair of hits in the first inning to get on the board. The Cowboys answered back with two of their own in the top of the second. The Conchs then added four in the third inning and two in the fourth to pull ahead 7-2. The Cowboys chipped away at that lead, but ran out of innings to exact their comeback.

Key West’s bats were steady, churning out 11 hits with three from Garcia, a pair of doubles from Darreld Tremino and a solo home run off the bat of Davila. Maltz earned the win on the mound, tossing four innings before Cruz Holmes, Beau Bender and Davila chipped in one inning of work apiece to close out the 7-6 win.

Marathon opened the season with a two-game road trip, starting with a Feb. 9 matchup with Miami Country Day. The Dolphins overpowered the Spartans with seven hits over five innings in a resounding 12-0 win.

Eighth-grader Reef Rella started on the mound for the Fins, spanning three innings with five strikeouts and six walks. Roco Piscetello finished out the final two innings. The Dolphins held the Spartans to a single hit defensively while pouring on the runs themselves. Gabriele Cirina drove in five runs with three hits, one of which was a grand slam in the fifth inning. The other two were doubles. Curren Nicolay doubled while Piscetello and Jason Stubblefield each singled. Massimo Quargnali was finicky at the plate, drawing four walks to boost his on-base percentage.

The following evening, the Fins headed to Somerset Silver Palms to take on the Stallions. The Fins matched their opponent run-for-run until the third inning, when Silver Palms pulled ahead. The Dolphins battled back and took the

lead in the fourth, then the Stallions tied it up in the sixth. The ever-patient Fins found a crack in the Stallion defense in the top of the seventh, when Rella hit a solid double followed by a Cirina walk to place runners on first and second.

Up next were Miles Murphy and Bradley Buigas, a pair of eighth-graders whose plate presence is far beyond their age. Buigas was already 3-for-3 on the night and Murphy had one hit and an on-base percentage well above .500. But Silver Palms’ field was without lights, and the umpire called the game right then and there, forcing the Fins to settle for a tie with a team which has become quite a rival in recent seasons.

Cirina started on the mound, striking out six and walking three in two-and-one-third innings. Piscetello and Dylan Williams chipped in for the tie. In addition to Rella, Buigas and Murphy’s hits, Williams singled, Piscetello hit a triple and two singles, Cirina singled and Stubblefield hit a bomb over the left field fence for a solo home run. In all, the Fins racked up 11 hits to the Stallions’ eight.

The Fins exacted their revenge on the Stallions on Feb. 13, when Silver Palms paid a visit for Marathon’s home opener. The game was scoreless until the third inning, when Williams drew a walk with two outs. Piscetello singled, then Jack Chapman and Stubblefield drew walks to score one run.

4. Reef Rella slides into third base to beat the throw.

The fourth inning started with a pair of walks; then, a Buigas bunt scored what would be the final run of the game. Williams was effective on the mound, striking out 11, walking three and allowing three hits in six and two-thirds innings. Piscetello faced a single batter, whose flyout ended the game in a 2-0 win for the Dolphins.

Coral Shores opened their season with a win against Terra Environmental Feb. 9 in a 2-1 showdown that highlighted dialed-in pitching from senior Riley O’Berry. He threw six innings, striking out 10 batters with no walks and allowing five hits with just a single run scoring. Glade Harrelson closed out the final inning for the Hurricanes.

O’Berry doubled while Keller Blackburn and Mailon Aguila singled. A stingy Terra pitching staff gave up just three hits and no walks, but Maykol Bonito took two bases the hard way. After being hit by pitches twice, Bonito scored one of the Hurricane runs to help the ’Canes come away with their first win.

The following night, the Hurricanes were swept away by the Buccaneers of South Dade High. The ’Canes were perfect in the field, but the Bucs’ bats overwhelmed the Hurricanes. Keller Blackburn had the lone hit against South Dade in the 15-0 three-inning rout.

BATTLES AT THE BASELINE

Keys courts kept busy with county action

Marathon’s tennis squad paid a visit to Coral Shores on Feb. 10, trading wins with the Hurricanes on the courts of Tavernier.

In boys action, Marathon bested Coral Shores 5-1, with wins coming from Tanner Snowden, Matt Delgado and Graham Murphy in singles, plus another win from Snowden and Delgado in doubles. Coral Shores’ Elijah Craig won in the No. 4 singles spot to get the ’Canes on the scoreboard.

In girls action, the Hurricanes flipped the script and defeated the Dolphins 6-1. Allyson Rosendale,

Kaiyenna De Ron, Harlee Beeler and Jillian Thiery picked up singles wins, then De Ron and Beeler won in No. 1 doubles and Parker Kelly and Emily Rosu picked up the final win for the Hurricanes in the No. 2 doubles match. Marathon’s Emily Alvear was the lone Dolphin winner, earning one point for the Fins in the No. 1 singles match.

Two days later, Key West did the trip north to play Marathon with a limited roster. Both teams were feeling the impact of a recent illness which made its way through the Keys. Key West’s Monea McLeod, Durdona Oblokulova and Shihan Ren won in singles, then Oblokulova and Ren teamed

up for a win in the No. 2 doubles match to defeat the Fins 4-2. Marathon’s Emily Alvear won the No. 1 singles match, then added another win in No.1 doubles with partner Maleeya Abraham.

The boys played just three singles and one doubles match with their limited rosters. Marathon freshman Tanner Snowden won No. 1 singles while Key West’s Mason Martel and Daniel Morales won in the No. 2 and 3 singles spots. Ben Delostrinos teamed up with Martel for a third Conch win in doubles.
