Pirates win 7th straight KeysNews.com

CITIZEN STAFF
TAVERNIER -- The Bone Island Pirates improved its win streak to seven straight games on Saturday night with a 28-6 victory over Keys rival the South Florida Sharks. Playing on the Coral Shores High campus the Pirates got out to an early lead and never relinquished, keeping control of the Southeast Florida League's Southeast Division.

"They added some beef and some speed," Pirates owner/coach Angel Torres said about the Sharks (2-6). "We still controlled the game, but there was a bit of a difference. Either way it was our game until the fourth quarter when we allowed them to score."

+40 Baseball league started its 2nd season

CITIZEN STAFF
KEY WEST - The second season of the Jewfish League got underway last Friday night with the same match-ups as the inaugural season opener, but with outrageously different results.

The fellers in blue, the Jaibas, who ended the first season in near the bottom of the heap, third place, gaffed the (red) Snappers, 25-13, who recently swam away with the first place hardware in season one.

The Jaibas jumped out to a quick - in over-40 softball means snail's pace - three-run lead thanks to John "Ghostface Killah" Baltzell who delivered a three-run egg roll into Tong's Garden parking lot.

The Snappers crushed that lead - with their dentures - putting up eight runs as every player in red registered a hit in the bottom of the first. The blue bellies scratched and crawled out seven in their next at bat, and would not relinquish the lead again.

One more win would secure another Home game. So let's win against Belen and have the first state play-off game at home.

This just in

Coach Scott Paul of the Lady Conchs just informed me about how their first round game went vs. Miami Jackson! The Game was over 3 minutes after the start of the seccond half as the Lady Conchs just got another "Mercy Rule" victory, 8:0!

Let's welcome them back and wish the team and their 'nervous' Coach all the best for the upcoming games.
Congratulations!

Just a Reminder:

Although registration is complete, Organizers are urging you to come on out to this worthy cause. Join the Fun, Games, Music and healthy competition at Bayview Park and Softball field on Kennedy Drive, Wicker's Field.

Get last night's High School Soccer scores - a convincing W in the girls and boys teams column.
The win last night by the HS Kicking Conchs was especially sweet as they had lost 1:2 in the first meeting and remember those stunned faces.

How does one get enough game practice when a team can only play 1 half, then second half is called due to the Mercy Rule?
11:0 looks quite good for only 45 minutes. And since the rules say at least 1 half of the game has to be played, I challenge the girls to top that score.

Some shiny pots will be used on Friday in Cape Town.

As every Friday, the Citizen publishes the complete story of the Junior Football League with pics etc. Although in this electronic edition of the column I unfortunately miss these pics.

Perhaps the Citizen ought to take a closer look at the the KeyNoter's new and much improved version of their printed and electronic version of local sports.

Here's a great way to communicate actually amongst the group.
Never thought I'd find myself on FB as some people even commented on, but It's a way to learn as well.

Conchs stay unbeaten, match 2008 win total

The past 2 season I wondered how long the KW High School will keep their Volleyball team, or rather how many girls will sign up for the program, but it soon proved to be an irrelevant question as the girls do love their sport and that winning isn't everything.

Now the young team under Coach Jessy Hulme are on their way to become a competetive team and their first big test will come on Thursday against Mater Academy.

Miami's Soccer Locker team to visit Key West!

AC Key West's Boca Seniors team is hosting their annual friendly vs. the Soccer Locker of Miami on Saturday, July 25.
These games were revived in May of last year after most of the players had just about enough of soccer on our Island. A celebration though of one of the Founding Fathers' birthday brought the oldtimers back together and they soon realized how much more fun it is to be playing again instead of just watching the Premier League or the Bundesliga on TV.
Kick-Off will be at 6 p.m. at the H.O.B. Soccer Field. Both teams will be gathering to a banquet as this tradition from the early days of the "friendly Rivalry" was kept up through Michael Andersen, team captain and sponsor of the Key West Club.
The public is invited to join the 2 teams, NO Admission.
To attend the Banquet an invite is required and a $20.- cover charge is necessary to cover the cost of the event. Hope to see you at the field. A meeting will be held at SHANNA KEY on Wednesday, July 22, at 8 p.m. after the weekly scrimmage game.
