In front of a crowd of 6,725 at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando, the Manatee High football team came up just short in its quest for a fifth state title in the 5A state championship game.

Plant out rushed the Hurricanes 167 yards to 78, but the Hurricanes had their passing game working throwing for a total of 264 yards. In the end, it just wasn’t enough as the Canes loose 21-14.
