The Matanzas boys and girls basketball teams have both struggled this season, but the boys have been improving with four wins in their last six games, and girls coach Travis Boone has seen positive signs with his squad too.
Both teams lost close games at home on Jan. 4, the day before the Pirates hosted the Kiwanis Holiday Tournament. That would be the highlight of the week for the girls team, but the boys followed with victories on Jan. 5 and Jan. 6.
Against St. Joseph on Jan. 4, the Matanzas girls went on a 15-5 run to pull to within two at 35-33 entering the fourth quarter. But their lack of depth showed in the final eight minutes — they dressed just seven players — and they fell 54-36. Laila Krebs scored a team-high 12 points.
