November 9th, 7:00pm – Lakewood Ranch Mustangs at Manatee Hurricanes.
Manatee plays host to Lakewood Ranch in the final regular season game of the season. Manatee (9-0) will be looking to extend a 21 game winning streak and hold onto the top spot in the MaxPreps Xcellent 25 rankings. With the playoffs starting next week, the Hurricanes have established themselves as the firm favorites to repeat as Florida’s 7A state champions. Winning their games by an average of 37 points, Manatee has rolled through their 2012 season without much opposition. Senior quarterback Cord Sandberg, the reigning 7A state player of the year, had another impressive performance in last week’s 51-9 rout of Sarasota throwing for 220 yards and 3 touchdowns in limited playing time. Look for Sandberg to spread the ball around to his multiple weapons on offense against Lakewood Ranch as the Hurricanes prep themselves for another long run in the postseason. via: PlayOn
