Ty Marie Cervantes
Senior, Key West
Softball
“Ty is a coach on the field, helping out the younger girls constantly.” – Jason Garcia, Lady Conchs head coach
Conch softball put the state on notice the past few years, reaching the final four in 2022 and 2023. Key West’s newly-forged dynasty was built on years of tradition and on hard-working, dedicated athletes like Ty Cervantes.
The senior amassed 26 hits, 19 RBIs and 8 stolen bases this season alone. Her .382 batting average included a home run, and defensively, Cervantes was near-perfect with a .900 fielding percentage.
Cervantes’ strong stats speak for themselves, but it is her attitude and leadership which set the Conchs’ shortstop apart on a team full of talented players. Coach Jason Garia called her “a team leader who is always giving encouragement.”
For her dedication to Key West softball, her dependable gameplay and ability to advance the gameplay of her teammates, Ty Cervantes is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
