Key West The Newspaper

Mayor Craig Cates added a special proclamation to last night’s City Commission agenda to welcome the Key West Lady Conchs 8U Softball Travel Team home by proclaiming a day in their honor.

The team won the USSSA South Florida State Tournament, playing six games in three days while amassing a record of five wins and only one loss on their way to the State Championship.

“These tremendous young women are an example of what can be accomplished with hard work, dedication, teamwork, and good sportsmanship,” reads the mayor’s proclamation. “We would like to congratulate Shadia Duarte, Ryleigh Harnish, Lily Smith, Luisa Cabrera, Charlie Lopez, Kaleya Cervantes, Janis Olsen, Anastasha Boose, Addison Means, Lily Mayer, Brianna Brenner, Liv Bowders, and Althea Olsen.”

The proclamation also gives a huge shout out to Head Coach Tyrone Cervantes; Assistant Coaches Jon Brenner, Tiffany Brenner, Cyra Boose and dugout Mom Vivian Smith.

With that, Mayor Cates proclaimed July 5th Key West Lady Conchs 2017 8UTravel Softball Team Day.
