The Coral Shores Hurricanes suffered a trio of soccer losses last week, first to Key West on Dec. 8. The lone Hurricane goal came from Armando Picado. Two days later, Somerset Silver Palms shut out the ’Canes in an 8-0 defeat. For their final game of the week, the ’Canes lost to Palmer Trinity 9-1. Freshman Finn Chesler, assisted by classmate Jackson Keller, scored for Coral Shores to prevent a Falcon shutout in the Dec. 12 home match.
Marathon’s gentlemen stand at 5-5 at the season’s halfway point after a split week of action. On Dec. 8, the Dolphins traveled to Franklin Academy, losing 3-0 after their charter bus caught fire – thankfully with no injuries.
Two days later, the Fins had better luck, both with the transportation and the outcome of the game. Marathon beat Bridge Prep Academy 3-1. Giordani Prieto scored two, one off a free kick, and Aiden McIntyre scored the third. Goalkeeper Tiago Rivero kept the Dolphins in the game by blocking a Panther penalty kick.
Key West added one win and one loss to its record last week, starting with a 9-1 win over Coral Shores. The Conchs scored early and often against the Hurricanes, with nine different athletes netting goals. Sonny Bowden, Owen Lindley, Loubins Fleuridor, Sebastian Camargo, Nico Sulak, Lorvensky Lyncy, Evens Louis, Brady Wright and Nathan Godlewski each added a goal to their stats. Camargo assisted on two other goals while Lindley, Sulak and Louis each added one assist to the team total. Chase Hoffman assisted on one and Kieran Smith two in the mercy-rule win. A Dec. 13 matchup against a formidable St. Thomas Aquinas resulted in a 3-2 loss. Evens Louis scored once, assisted by Camargo, and a well-orchestrated throw-in from Smith ricocheted off the St. Thomas keeper for the second goal.

The Lady Conchs moved to 6-2-3 on the season, fueled by a pair of wins and a tie last week. On Dec. 9, Key West traveled to Florida Christian, where they handed the Patriots a 7-0 loss. Madison Kilduff scored two goals and assisted on another to lead the way. Gabriella Rodriguez, Alondra Montilla, Keira Feitz, Alyssandra Camargo and Lily Baxter each netted one and Baxter was credited with a pair of assists in the win. Dec. 12 was more of the same for the red-hot Conchs. Key West beat Chaminade-Madonna on the road, handing the Lions an 8-0 loss. The following day proved to be more of a challenge. South Fork traveled from Stuart to take on Key West in an aggressive match, resulting in a 2-2 tie. Maicee Gage and Kilduff scored one apiece and goalkeeper Mary Searcy kept the team in the game with some outstanding saves.
The Lady Fins added another win to their record last week. The team did not allow their burning bus to affect their game against Franklin Academy on Dec. 8, as Marathon defeated the Panthers 2-0. Chloe Rodriguez scored the first goal unassisted, and Shilo Yeider netted the second off a Dani Perdomo assist. On Dec. 10, the Fins lost at home to Coral Shores, 8-0. Two days later, they fell to Florida Christian in a 4-0 road loss to bring the team to a 2-6-1 record.
In their match against Marathon, Coral Shores’ girls peppered the goal with 34 shots. Eight made it into the net, with two coming from the dynamic duo of Kai Redruello and Lela Goodrich. Redruello scored the points, assisted by some impressive Goodrich throw-ins. Bayley Catarineau capitalized on some chaos in front of the net to score one, then Jenna Mandozzi made good on a corner kick.
Saydie Hendrix scored two while Avea Jackson and Sammy Bates accounted for the rest of the Lady ’Canes’ goals. Grace Goodwin, Mya Champigny, Kayla Serota, Gia Champigny and Noelle Engelmeyer controlled the back line, preventing the Dolphins from coordinating a legitimate scoring threat while goalkeepers Ally Rosendale and Sophie Stevenson combined time in goal for the shutout. The win made it two in a row for Coral Shores, but a strong Gulliver squad ended the streak when they handed the Hurricanes a 2-0 loss on Dec. 12.
