Matanzas

The Florida Department of Health reports 687 positive cases among Flagler County residents, as of Tuesday morning’s updated figures.

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.
