Manatee won all three phases of the game in their first round playoff game against Oak Ridge, taking down the Pioneers 33-14. The Hurricanes rushed for 115 yards and three TD, the defense forced four turnovers and Nick Null kicked four field goals, as they advanced to the Region Semifinals for the seventh straight season.

Lorenz Allen earned Player of the Game honors, finishing with 60 rushing yards and a TD. It was his 11th consecutive game with at least one rushing TD. A.J. Colagiovanni continued his effective season, going 13-of-18 for 115 yards and rushing for 37 yards and a TD. Kavious Price added a 7-yd TD run as well.

Travon Rumph and Jacob Main picked off D'Andre Weaver passes in the second quarter, as Oak Ridge was held scoreless until the fourth quarter. Null's 52-yd FG got the Hurricanes on the board in the first quarter, and he added field goals of 34, 29 and 31 yards later.

Tyrek Tisdale did give life to the Pioneers comeback effort in the fourth quarter, scoring two rushing touchdowns, including a highlight-reel play where he hurdled over a Manatee defender into the end zone. Tisdale was held to -8 yards on seven carries in the first half, but gained 49 yards on nine second-half carries.

Oak Ridge (8-3) was making their third straight playoff appearance, the longest streak in school history, but came short of making the "statement win" that first-year head coach Tyrone Sapp was looking for. D'Andre Weaver and Quadry Jones combined for 153 passing yards.

Manatee (9-2) will travel to Dr. Phillips next week for a 8A Region 2 Semifinal. The two teams met last year in a 8A Region Final, with the Hurricanes taking down the Central Florida power 24-21.
