Matanzas won the last time they faced Nease, and things went their way on Friday, too. Matanzas won a game that couldn't have been any closer, slipping by Nease 6-5. The tight race was right in line with the MaxPreps state rankings' forecast.
Matanzas got off to a sluggish start, posting zero total points in the first half. Nease weren't exactly on fire in the first half themselves, but they were able to scrounge up 5 points to make it 0-5 going into the break. In the second half, however, Matanzas' defense made a stand and allowed a meager 0 points. The win bumped their record up to 2-3. Nease are still searching for that first win as they fell to 0-6.
Next week Matanzas take on New Smyrna Beach at 7:00 PM. New Smyrna Beach are cruising in on a three-game winning streak. Nease will have some time to rest before their next matchup, which is against Middleburg in two weeks.
