When the Matanzas boys soccer team shut out Seabreeze 6-0 on Dec. 1, the Pirates ended a streak that had lasted nearly nine years.
The Sandcrabs had won five straight against Matanzas, with the Pirates' last win coming on Dec. 8, 2014. Their previous game was perhaps the most joyous for Seabreeze and devastating for Matanzas, with the Sandcrabs winning on the second round of penalty kicks in the district championship game on Feb. 2 at Deltona High.
Unlike that game, which was tied through two overtime periods, last week's game at the Ormond Beach Sports Complex was a rout. Scott Wiggins and Sergio Posada each scored two goals. Landon Grover and Davi Nunes dos Santos also scored. Sebastian DeLeon had two assists.
Goalkeepers Aiden White and Tyler Reis each played a half to split the clean sheet.
Five Seabreeze fall sports teams finished among the top five in the Florida High School Athletics Association's academic team standings. The Sandcrabs were No. 1 in Class 5A volleyball with a 3.752 grade point average.
Seabreeze was also second in Class 2A girls swimming (3.712 GPA) and 3A girls cross country (3.816 GPA), third in Class 3S football (3.173 GPA) and fourth in Class 2A boys golf.
Flagler Palm Coast finished second at the Arlington Optimist Invitational boys wrestling tournament on Dec. 2 at Jacksonville Sandalwood. Camden County (Georgia) won 16 individual championships, with FPC winning the other three.
Bulldog champs included Toryion Stallings (132 pounds), Carson Baert (144 pounds) and Ethan Laupepa (215 pounds).
Local wrestlers took home a ton of hardware at the Lady Clash of Titans girls tournament on Dec. 1 at University High in Orange City. Individual champs included Matanzas' Maria Mills (110 pounds), FPC's Joslyn Johnson (100), Ana Vilar (125) and Christina Borgmann (130) and Mainland's Cheyenne Wigley (235).
Matanzas' Kendall Bibla (125) and Ani Brown (235), FPC's Gabby Proctor (155) and Mainland's Eva Rojas (190) were runners-up.
Three local girls wrestlers entered the season with national rankings. Matanzas' Tiana Fries is ranked 17th and Kendall Bibla is ranked 18th, both at 140 pounds. FPC's Christina Borgmann is ranked 28th at 130 pounds. All three were members of Matanzas' state championship team last season.
FPC senior defender Samantha Jennings has committed to play women's soccer next year at Coker College in South Carolina.
