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.
Falling behind early, the Tampa Plant Panthers put 21 points on the board in the first half and never looked back. 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.
Congratulations to our local team as they have a lot to be proud of.
