What a colossal cluster the 1st half was for Manatee. Manatee held Dr Phillips on a missed FG attempt and began moving the ball down field. Than AJ threw a pass that was intended for K Price on a quick screen right into the hands of a Dr Phillips DB who ran it for a pick six! Manatee gets the ball and does nothing, punts the ball back to Dr Phillips. Then began a series of offensive possessions for Dr Phillips where the RB would simply bounce to the outside for big yardage. Dr Phillips goes up 14-0 and Manatee comes back with a 80 yard drive, capped of with a K Price 47 catch and run for a TD making it 14-7. Dr Phillips comes back with a 3 play drive to go up 21-7........cant describe how badly the Manatee defensive tackling was, their making Dr Phillips RB's look like greased pigs! Looked like we'd go into half with the score 21-7, but Dr Phillips let the clock run down to the last seconds of half and snaps the ball, the QB/RB faked a run to stop and find a Dr Phillips WR with nothing but green in front of him making it 27-7 at half. Had it stayed 21-7 at half I would have said Manatee still had a chance, but Im comfortable at this point with saying "put a fork in it.......Manatee is done" and the second half is just a formality at this point.
