It was about this time last year when Sean approached Britt Myers and Jason Koler about doing a podcast on the subject of sports in the Florida Keys, and what a year it has been for the Sports Wrap crew ever since. In our 25-plus years living and working in Monroe County, we have come across a multitude of fascinating people, each with a story to tell, and we wanted to capture those before they were forgotten. For the record, Sean wanted to do this – I said I was willing to fill in the Marathon High sports section once my wonderfully talented former student, Clare Merryman, went to college. Somehow it turned into something a lot larger.
Sean and I would like to thank everyone at the Keys Weekly and the community itself for their patience. The support we have received from the staff at the Weekly, from coaches and players and from readers and listeners has been both overwhelming and humbling. And as we continue to plod along and figure things out as we go, any input and ideas are much appreciated. We look forward to a new year of prep sports coverage and hope to delve a little deeper into the former players and coaches who made the Keys their home at one time or another and explore the positive impacts they had on the community. If you have suggestions or just want to say hi, you can email us sports@keysweekly.com or just tell us when you see us around. We’re pretty easy to find.
Sincerely,
Tracy & Sean McDonald
