Not too much to add about this contest. Southeast was 0-9 coming into it and ended its season 0-10 once the 4th QT ended. Manatee started slow once again, but 2 quick scores just before halftime, turned a 14-0 lead into a 28-0 lead and at that point it became apparent we'd have a running clock eventually........ it was just a matter of when.
On to the playoffs and what looks like a 1st round game at game against Lakewood Ranch.
* Did anyone else catch any of the Venice/CAI game last night? The officiating was questionable in the 4th QT. CAI scored a TD that would have put them in the lead late in the 4th 42-41, but it was wiped out due to a holding call, On Venice's next offensive series I watched a Venice OL grab a CAI defensive lineman's jersey outside of the chest area and throw him to the ground, yet no call as the play went for a TD. Despite all that CAI was still in position to possibly pull out a win with the ball on about the Venice 40 with just about a minute left to play, only to have the CAI QB throw a INT to Venice's "Riverview transfer" and 4* db that he returned for a TD to close out the game. Wild game for sure!
