I believe playing at home as well as having a very stout and physical defense, will allow Lemon Bay to win tonight against Clewiston HS. As a side note, I watched some film this week of Lemon Bay and they do a lot of things Manatee attempted to do this past year, with one major exception on offense…….Lemon Bay utilizes motion in its offense. There isn’t really anything fancy about Lemon Bay on offense, its pretty much a ground and pound type offense, taking advantage of its very physical nature.

I watched the Jesuit win over STA this year, and while I won’t take anything away from the Jesuit win. STA made a boat load of mistakes to help Jesuit to its win. I don’t believe Jesuit runs away with its game against Braden River tonight, I see this as a game Jesuit isn’t able to put away until the 2nd half.

The Venice and Riverview matchup, is a unfortunate early round playoff game. Don’t think the outcome will be any different from their 1st regular season encounter either. Venice should be playing for a 8A state championship in a few weeks.

The Tampa Bay Tech/Palmetto game is exactly the kind of game Palmetto head coach Marino loves to get his Tigers up for! Unless Tampa Bay Tech can find a way to put Palmetto away early, I believe Palmetto will make life very uncomfortable for Tampa Bay Tech. If it’s close in the 4th QT , Palmetto can win this game. Looking for Palmetto’s LB Jaylon Wester, to dominate tonight and inspire the Palmetto team to pull out a win!
