Join host Chad Choate and Manatee Hurricanes head coach Jacquez Green as they break down a wild 28-21 playoff opener against Charlotte and look ahead to a huge Region 3 semifinal showdown on the road against the 10-1 Cape Coral Seahawks.
A dominant first half (28-6) vs. a tense second-half scare: what the close finish taught a young Hurricanes squad about finishing all four quarters in the playoffs.
Keith Smith and the special teams spark, Mason’s big early throws, and how the ‘Canes forced Charlotte out of their run-heavy plan.
Why Cape Coral (coached by former NFL/UFC player Jalen Watkins) is one of the most athletic teams left in 5A, with an efficient junior QB, two dangerous 100+ carry RBs, and receivers who can take the top off.
Keys to the game: win up front, control the run game both ways, beat man coverage, and avoid the big play against a Seahawks secondary that lives in Cover 1.
Travel plans, grass field, weather outlook, and why possessing the football could be the difference in this 3-seed vs. 2-seed matchup.
It’s playoff football at its finest – Manatee hits the road for the first time in Round 2 since 2007 looking to punch a ticket to the regional final!
