Amie Biehl, who paced off Allie Wheeler last year (Wheeler has since transferred), grabbed a new pacer in JaRobyn Rome and won the girls' race in 26:06. Rome had 26:58 as her final; April Geiger was third with 28:31 and Mariah Mather was fifth with 29:11.

  • Road Sharks get tuned up at...

    Cedar Key girls' cross country hosted Branford in a dual meet Monday that served both as a shakedown for today's bigger race at Williston and a first race ever for the Buccaneers, in their first year with a team.

    Branford head coach Eric Rodriguez said his team was a little tentative about the unfamiliar route, particularly the hill by the cemetery, but didn't think the heat would be a factor.

  • CK's Haldeman succeeds...

    As happy as he is to be chosen to succeed Bronson basketball head coach Kelly Beckham, Cedar Key boys' basketball head coach Aaron Haldeman hates to leave Cedar Key.

    "I told Mrs. Ice, 'I've got tears of sorrow in one eye and tears of joy in the other,'" he said.

    Haldeman, who graduated from Cedar Key in 1993, started as assistant coach in 2002 under then head coach Biz Paeth before ascending to the head coach position. His teams are well-regarded in the area for playing over their heads, despite being small in number.

  • Sam Beckham brings home state...

    Mark it in the book. Cedar Key School junior Samantha Beckham capped her first state final appearance in the girls' pole vault with a third place finish, nailing a 10-foot vault for the bronze medal.

    Beckham had also qualified in the triple jump, but finished 12th, well out of the medals, with a best jump of 32' 7 1/2".

    Coach Brad Penney said he was proud of his team and their efforts this year.

  • Sharks battle in extra-inning...

    "Except for the fact that we lost, I think it was the best game we played all season."

    Sharks' baseball head coach Joe Bishop said his team played like there was no tomorrow in their district tournament matchup Monday. Unfortunately, this time there wasn't. Cedar Key lost 7-6 in eight innings to Seven Rivers in the Class A District 6 tournament.

    The Sharks got off to a good start, putting up one run in their first at bat to take an early lead. Seven Rivers tied the score with a run in the bottom of the first, though.

She finished behind Lindsey Enders of Holy Trinity, who reached 10 feet. Beckham also turned in a qualifying third place finish in the triple jump, with a best of 32' 7 3/4".

  • Sharks drop home finale to Bell

    Cedar Key baseball dropped its last home game 17-8 to Bell, playing six good innings after coming this close to a 10-run meltdown.

    "We were down 13-0 when we first came to bat in the first inning," said head coach Joe Bishop.

    Bell batted through the order twice in the first inning, with C.J. Harris and Tyler Stofel each hitting home runs, but much of the scoring was due to defensive errors.
