Blakely will play

Good news for the Manatee Hurricanes - Mike Blakely will play Friday against Venice.
"He's been practicing all week," said coach Joe Kinnan. "He's fine."
The talented running back, who also returns kickoffs, was hit in the head during last week's win over Riverview and was taken to the hospital for check-ups. Blakley had rushed for a touchdown and nearly 140 yards before he left the game in the second quarter.
The winner of tonight's game between the Indians and Hurricanes clinches the Class 5A-District 10 title.
