Matanzas

There was no boisterous celebration after the Pirates' first win of the season. One day after suffering an emotional two-point loss to arch-rival Flagler Palm Coast, the Matanzas boys basketball players were subdued after ending a 12-game losing streak. The Pirates held off a feisty Seabreeze team 65-63 on Jan.

Flagler Palm Coast boys basketball coach Derrick Williams said he realized early in the fourth quarter that the Bulldogs’ annual crosstown-rivalry game with Matanzas would come down to the final shot. And he had no doubt who was going to shoot it for his team. It was Alex Aviles’ night.

Several minutes after a header by Flagler Palm Coast’s Riley Clymer found the back of the net, the Bulldogs’ Landon Stone was alone in the box with Matanzas goal keeper Stephen Usina. Stone’s penalty kick snuck past Usina as he dove for the ball, and the Bulldogs’ second goal of the night brought them back from the brink of defeat. Almost.
