Matanzas

It’s the second known coronavirus case in as many weeks for a Volusia/Flagler area football player.

Flagler County schools’ return to the sports practice field was very different because of coronavirus but still gave a sense of normalcy to players.

Monday was scheduled to be the first day of non-contact football practices allowed by the FHSAA. Matt Forrest, in his first two months on the job as Matanzas’ football coach, loved the direction his program was heading. The 32-year-old, in charge for the first time on the prep level, started to build relationships with the returning Pirates and implemented Crossfit concepts into their offseason workout routines.

Today's sports hiatus Flashback Game of the Day features Matanzas Girls Volleyball at Flagler Palm Coast, from August 22, 2019. Matanzas junior striker Brianna Whitfield had 19 kills total and kept the games close, but FPC won 3-1. FPC junior Valerie Chum had 11 kills in the win.
