The best game in the area this Friday will be Palmetto at Riverview. The last time they met it was a track meet 52-42 Riverview win. Venice and Manatee will both most likely be running clocks!
The best game in the first round is going to be Palmetto at Riverview! Venice will have a running clock on Charlotte, and most likely Mantee will have the same against Lakewood Ranch. Immokalee beat gulfcoast 13-10 for their district championship a week ago so that’s a tossup……
The JV team was horribly coached very poorly coached and the varsity coaching staff knows that there’s some changes need to be made down in that lower level. They were fundamentally unsound at times but the talents there and the physicality is there.
Well, Green has improved every year so far. When he took over the program it was in disarray! He had no coaching staff and an administration that showed no support for the program or himself! Now with a supportive administration and the ability to have teaching positions to hire coaches things...
If I were a betting man I would say you probably never played this game. One of those armchair QB’s that thinks he knows everything. Well, with that said, I will say you are very entertaining!!
I don’t know if you are a true Manatee fan or not but your threats are nothing but critical and negative toward the program and the team. These are high school kids playing their hearts out and you can’t give them credit for being a 1:13 away from losing, instead of praising the heart and fight...
Back during Manatee’s heyday they had a lot of running clocks and went on to win state championships. I don’t put a lot into that but I’m sure both teams were fatigued and tired! Manatee’s defense was on the field almost all night long. They were also tired.
Yeah, I read somewhere that Manatee’s coaching staff wasn’t good enough to win this ball game? One heck of a football game against one hell of damn good Port Charlotte team! They have four or five guys on that defense that are big-time division 1 players! Their front four are for real and...
Good win for Manatee (4-0) against a very well coached and good football team in (2-1) Braden River. Great performances from Keishawn Smith’s 7 carries for 116 yards and a touchdown! Not to mention Bon Bean Jr’s 5 catches for 140 yards and a score. QB Andrew Heidel was 10-15 for 175 yards and a...
Gatorman, have some official stats for you…
#57 Max Freeman 7 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 Sack
#55 Ean Johnson Kelly 4 tackles, 3 TFL, 2 sacks and 4 QB PR
#8 R. Sexil 4 tackles, 2 PBU
I don’t understand why # 57 is being singled out. He will continue to get better and he’ll make plays for manatees defense. There are 10 other players that make up that defense and all of them need to play well together to be successful. None of us are football coaches and don’t know what goes...
Actually Manatee’s defense didn’t play that badly overall. Besides Sarasota’s last dive against Manatee’s backups they held Sarasota to under 200 yards of offense. I disagree that Manatee’s LB’s are weak! #57 Max Freeman, #11 Isaiah Perry and #20 Trevon Pinder have all graded out well. Manatee...
Looks like Cal Preps need to stick with predicting California prep games only!!!
Very good win against a very talented Lake Minneola squad. Defense played much better in the second half holding Minneola to 6 second half points. Next up home against (0-1) Sarasota next week.
Big win.....I knew coming into the game that Manatee wanted to pound the football and keep Venice’s offense off the field.. Jones was the big work horse all night 36 carries for 136 yards. I agree with the mass confusion the offense shows at times! We have to clean that up. We also get very...
Coach Shakir has reached out to Joe... they met and talked in depth when he was first hired Joe said he would help out in anyway and approved the hire! You have to understand that Joe is very bitter and has been staying away from the program for sometime! It has nothing to do with the current...
