The Breeze celebrated student-athletes from all over Cape Coral and the West Zone on Saturday with its third annual Breakfast of Champions held at Cape Vineyard Community Church.

“It’s always satisfying to see hard work pay off so this event is doubly satisfying for The Breeze as we can see young athletes rewarded for their hard work and also get the satisfaction of completing another year, our third, of this program,” said Breeze Newspapers Publisher, Ray Eckenrode. “It’s something we couldn’t do without the hard work of our staff – especially C.J. Haddad, Chris Strine and Laurie Ragle – and without the support of our community sponsors.”

Cape Coral Breeze Editor Chris Strine added, “I think our third Breakfast of Champions was the best yet. The turnout was great and it was an honor to be able to recognize so many of our student athletes, their coaches and teams. Our thanks to all of the athletes and their families, not only for a great year, but also for making the breakfast a success. We wish everyone the best in the future and can’t wait to see what the 2024-25 school year brings.”

The Breeze Team of the Year was awarded to the North Fort Myers girls soccer team, which made its first-ever appearance in the state championship game, the first team, regardless of gender, to represent the Red Knights in a state title final.

Coach of the Year was also connected to the North girls soccer team, as head coach Nick Erickson was bestowed the honor.

Over 11 seasons, Erickson has compiled an impressive record of 198 wins, 36 losses, and 14 ties. He has led his team to six district titles, five LCAC titles, and seven regional final appearances. Erickson has guided All Americans, all-area players, and has coached 20 players that have gone on to play college ball, including seven at the Division I level.

This year’s Male Athlete of the Year was Mariner’s senior wrestling state champ, Camren French.

French was first named an Athlete of the Week, being tops in the 126-lb division at the John Joyce Memorial in North Port where he was named one of two “outstanding wrestlers” at the tournament, and took down a previously undefeated opponent to pick up the win.

The senior, with a sparkling 54-1 record in his weight class this year, was a FHSAA 2A State Champion in Kissimmee after finishing second the last two years. He is a four-time district champion and two-time regional champion for his school. He placed third in the National High School Coaches National Tournament, and has a career record of 160-21 on the mat.

Ryleigh Acosta, the senior team captain and leading scorer of the Mariner girls soccer team, was again named female Athlete of the Year.

Totaling 26 goals and 29 assists over 24 games played this year going up against the toughest schedule in class 5A through the state, she is the only female soccer player in the Max Preps era out of Southwest Florida, male or female, to have three consecutive seasons with at least 20 goals and 20 assists. She led her school to its first team state title in the ’21-’22 season, regardless of gender. This gritty player and University of Florida commit has total 95 goals and 92 assists throughout her high school career, while serving as a three-year team captain and four-time team MVP.

Cape Coral High School’s Melissa Blaine was voted Reader’s Choice Athlete of the Year. The Breeze’s selection for female Athlete of the Year two seasons ago, this state champion swimmer again impressed in the pool this year. She came home with two first-place finishes at the Tarpon Invitational, where the Seahawks were victorious. Blaine also placed first in the 200-meter IM and the 500-meter freestyle, and was also part of a second-place 200-meter freestyle relay team. Blaine finished second in the 200 individual medley in the FHSAA Class 3A State Championships in Ocala, and brought home a fifth-place finish in the 500-freestyle. The senior also contributed to the Seahawks’ 200 medley relay team that came in eighth; and a seventh place in the 400-freestyle relay.

This year’s sponsors included major sponsor Torched Bar & Grill, supporting sponsors Zak’s Jewelry, Experience Real Estate Group and Gavin’s Ace Hardware and in-kind sponsors SP Designs and Cape Vineyard Community Church.
