Most Manatee die hards, consider the 1993 title game against Southridge, a nightmare game where anything that could go wrong did in fact do that. I want to say Southridge had 2 kickoff returns for TDs, 1 Punt return for a TD, at least 1 (possibly 2 INTs returned for a TD), I believe there was also a hail Mary at half for a TD.
The 1984 19-14 playoff loss to Lakeland, probably burns in die hards guts than the 1993 contest. Manatee was a heavy favorite going into that game, but 2 turnovers inside the Lakeland 10 proved ultimately to be Manatees undoing and denied Manatee any chance at back to back titles
If you need a backup option On October 3, Coral Shores plays against Marathon in the “battle of the Keys”!!!
Monroe County longest rivalry.

Looking at their schedule, the most competitive game at home looks to be against Jackson on October 24.
University Christian the next week would be interesting.
