Five Seabreeze girls soccer star team wins Five Star Conference
champs
MICHELE MEYERS
CONTRIBUTING WRITER
The time 38:32 was frozen in red on the Taylor High School scoreboard as Seabreeze’s Brianna Chesley drove the ball into the net for the final goal of the Five Star Conference championship game against Spruce Creek High School.
The game was called a little under two minutes into the second half as the Seabreeze High School girls soccer team was crowned conference champs after an 8-0 blowout against the Hawks on Thursday, Jan. 13.
“Honestly, I was just hoping to win the game the best we could, play as a team and bring home the trophy,” Chesley said. “When I came out tonight, I had a feeling we were going to win.”
Chesley scored four goals and had one assist, with two back-to-back netters before the referees ended the

game early. Heading into the final two games of the regular season, she leads the Sandcrabs with 13 goals.
“I’m just super impressed with how they finished,” assistant coach Christine Goebel said. “We capitalized on our chances almost every time. That was huge. We can’t believe it. We are so excited.”
Taylor Hughes scored two goals in the first half and had four assists in the game bringing her season total to eight assists. Emily Myers added two goals to give her 12 for the season.
The Sandcrabs were the top seed going into the tournament and proceeded to demonstrate their ability to finish plays by racking up 19 goals in three games.
They won 7-1 against Pine Ridge, 4-0 versus Flagler Palm Coast and concluded the tournament with the mercy-rule win against Spruce Creek.
“Apparently, that’s 13 years of pent-up losing to one team year in and year out, I think, coming out there,” coach Eli Freidus said. “We were not expecting that. We were expecting a tough match. We got our goal of being the best team in the area. Now we are ready for the postseason.”

Sandcrabs’ defense stout in 2-1 loss to No. 2 team in the nation
Some losses stick with you like heartburn. This was not one of those.
Losing on a late goal to the No. 2 team in the nation may have been disappointing at first, but the Seabreeze boys soccer team was able to take away more positives than negatives from their 2-1 loss to Spruce Creek in the Five Star Conference semifinals on Jan. 12.
Last month, the Hawks blasted the Sandcrabs 4-0, but Seabreeze’s defense has picked it up since the new year with two clean sheets before the Creek rematch.
“It shows we’re trending upward rather than declining, so I took a silver lining from that,” said Seabreeze coach Jon Kinsler.
The Hawks improved to 19-1-1 with a 5-1 win over DeLand in the conference title game. They ended the week ranked No. 1 in the state by the Florida High School Athletic Association and No. 2 in the nation by MaxPreps.
You won’t get an argument about those rankings from the Sandcrabs, who fell to 6-4-1 with the loss. Spruce Creek attacked pretty much the entire game, Kinsler said. Seabreeze goalkeeper Andrew Cole had 13 saves, and the Sandcrabs’ defense was able to keep the Hawks without a goal until about 14 minutes into the second half.
About a minute later, Seabreeze freshman Drew McNerney tied the score off of a cross from Frazer Cross. The score remained 1-1 until Hawks defender Hudson Krausse scored off a corner kick with about six minutes left.
“Our keeper made the save, but unfortunately he was behind the goal line,” Kinsler said.
“We did well with the chances we had, but they were pretty dominant throughout,” said Kinsler. “I think we won’t see another team with that aggressive playing style unless we get farther and farther into the state playoffs.”
The way the Sandcrabs’ defense has played lately, a deep playoff run seems very possible.
Strong finish for Bucs at Lady Pirates
Mainland finished second behind host Matanzas at the Lady Pirate Classic wrestling tournament on Jan. 15. The Bucs entered just seven wrestlers in the tournament but finished with 85 points. Abby Couillard won the 100-pound title while five other Mainland wrestlers finished among the top four in their class. Jah’mya Hill (170), Eva Rojas (190) and Summer Snow (235) were runners-up. Kevarrionna Sloan (235) placed third, and Trinya Tillman (170) placed fourth.
Sandcrab lifters prepare for districts
Seabreeze girls weightlifting coach Tarisa Craig-Craggy kept some of her lifters at home when the Sandcrabs traveled to Matanzas on Jan. 12 for their final dual meet before districts.
They did have two winners in senior Hailey Strohm in the 154-pound weight class, and freshman Becca Morrow in the 101-pound class. Strohm lifted a total of 230 pounds, while Morrow had a 130 total.
Kelly Hall, a state qualifier last year who finished second at the Five Star Conference championships last month in the unlimited class, did not compete at Matanzas.

One day after suffering an emotional two-point loss to arch-rival Flagler Palm entertainment in Central Florida. 31 Supper Club, 31 W. Granada, 386-275-1625 Coast, the Matanzas boys basketball players were subdued after ending a 12-game losing streak. 31supperclub.comThe Pirates held off a feisty Seabreeze team 65-63 on Jan. 13 at Matanzas.
“They’re just relieved. There was nothing to celebrate,” said Matanzas first-year coach Henry Robinson. “But it feels good to finally get it. Our record doesn’t indicate what kind of team we have.”
The Sandcrabs, meanwhile, came up just short in their quest to notch their own first win of the season. Down 65-63, Seabreeze had two chances in the final seven seconds. Cole Nettles missed a driving layup. Gio Mitchell grabbed the offensive rebound but couldn’t convert at the buzzer.
Seabreeze led for most of the game, which was reminiscent of its three-point overtime loss to Fort Myers Bishop Verot on Dec. 30.
“This has been a pretty rough season,” Seabreeze coach Pepper Johnson said. “We just have to get over the hump. We have two guys who came in with varsity experience, so we’re just going through growing pains. I’m going to keep coaching hard, and keep motivating.”
Sophomore Tariq Shakir led the Pirates with a careerhigh 25 points and eight assists. Jude Lukaszewki added 11 points, and Ty Smith scored 10. Cole Long led the Sadncrabs with 17 points, while Mitchell had 15 points and Jordan Calder scored 14.
The game was the second of a grueling six-game stretch over eight days for Matanzas.
