FPC'S CLYMER SIGNS

Flagler Palm Coast held a signing ceremony on Nov. 8 for baseball player Cody Clymer.

Clymer will play baseball for Hillsborough Community College next year. He led the Bulldogs with a .375 batting average, 27 hits and a .541 on base percentage last season. He also had a 5-3 record on the mound with a 3.75 earned run average and 55 strikeouts in 56 innings pitched.

“He’s a great young man who works super hard,” athletic director Scott Drabczyk said. “I think it was a great choice, a great fit for him. He’ll have the option after a couple years to play at a bigger school.”

GAZZOLI 4TH, CARLISI 11TH

A year after winning the Class 2A state golf championship, Matanzas’ Alexandra Gazzoli placed fourth at the 2A state championships with a 1-over-par 143 at the Las Colinas course at Mission Inn Resort in Howey-in-the-Hills. Gazzoli was tied for second after the first round with a 1-under 70 and shot 73 on day 2. 

It was the fourth straight year Gazzoli finished among the top four. She was third as a freshman and second as a sophomore.

“She hits the ball so well; her drives were good,” Matanzas girls coach Brandie Alred said, adding that Gazzoli had seven birdie putts that missed by one or two inches.

Seabreeze’s Amelia Cobb placed 22nd with a 77-80—157. Cobb had also finished among the top four her previous two years at state.

Flagler Palm Coast senior Carmela Carlisi finished 11th in the Class 3A championship. She was tied for fourth after the first round with an even-par 71 and shot 78 in the second round for a 149.

BLAIR INDUCTED INTO HALL OF FAME

As a junior, he set 10 single-season records. As a senior, he was named to the USA South All-Conference team. He was also the Panthers’ punter and tied for the longest punt in school history at 64 yards.
