The point is Manatee got worked by Lowndes. A team who would get killed by SJB.
Manatee coach is putting this embarrassing loss on his kids to carry with them forever. They will always remember getting their skirt lifted in front of the home crowd by a national powerhouse and not understand why their coach did that to them. They are a depleted roster. The game will be ugly: and the SJB coach will not call the dogs off: they scored 70 on some chump Texas team last year
Lowndes getting blown out makes Manatee losing even worse.
And no 3 plays didn’t decide the game. The fact that they couldn’t put more than 2 scores on the board the entire game and Lowndes could was the difference. They got outplayed, out coached, out worked, and whatever else words you want to use to describe a double up beat down
Lowndes had one sustained drive the entire game......3 plays decided the outcome of this game. One on a turnover deep in Manatee territory on a muffed jet sweep handoff, the other 2 on Manatee defensive miscues on player reads and resulting reactions. The bigger read on the Lowndes game, was Lowndes getting blown out in the 2nd round of the Georgia playoffs by Buford 42-7 in as far as how good Lowndes actually was.
I just wanted to bring this post back because of all the talk of the "Florida Coaches Coalition." Not a single bill was introduced to mandate higher coach pay (especially by Representative Adam Anderson, who was mentioned in the original article).
But a bill about Hearing Aids and Sovereign Wealth Fund, we can get those from that mentioned State Representative.
