Commission Honors Little Conch All Stars

Mayor Danise "Deedee" Henriquez and the Key West City Commission celebrated November 14th at Key West Little Conch All Star Baseball Team Day.

The Key West Little Conch Baseball 14U All Star Team went undefeated this season, winning the Babe Ruth South Florida 14U State Championship in Sarasota in July.

From there, they went on to win the Babe Ruth Southeast Regional Championship on July 22, 2024. This qualified them to play in The Babe Ruth 14U World Series in Texas where they placed 5th out of 16 teams.

This is the first time in the history of Key West Little Conch Baseball that a team has won the Babe Ruth Southeast Regional Championship.

"These tremendous young men are an example of what can be accomplished with hard work, dedication, teamwork, good sportsmanship and a community that stands behind them," reads the proclamation.

During the summer of 2024 these young athletes competed in three tournaments, compiling an overall record of 11-3, bringing home a State Championship and Southeast Regional Championship, proudly representing Key West.

"We would like to congratulate," continues the proclamation, "Tyrone Cervantes Jr., Kaine Dickerson, Chace Gaertner, Reef Guyet, Sawyer Hill, Kellen Lockwood, Kade Maltz, Calvin Mercer, Caeden Moore, Nikodem Prokurat, Baylin Roger, Kaden Savedra, Nicholas Talpasz, Leo Thibault, and Trent Thomas. A special thank you goes to the Head Coach Tyrone Cervantes, Assistant Coaches Tyler Lockwood & Logan Pellicier, and Team Moms Jessica Lockwood & Jayme Thomas."
