News of Manatee's defeat of nationally top-ranked Fort Lauderdale St.Thomas Aquinas during Friday's Class 5A state semifinal has spread.
To wit, USA Today mentioned in its blog at http://blogs.usatoday.com/gameon/2009/12/no-1-st-thomas-aquinas-falls-in-state-semifinals-to-manatee-bradenton.html, as did Rivals.com.
The Raiders had won 37 straight games, two consecutive Class 5A state titles and a national championship before bowing to the Hurricanes 28-20 at a raucous Hawkins Stadium.
Manatee (13-1) is back in a state final for the first time since 1993 and will face Tampa Plant (12-1) 7 p.m. Friday in the Citrus Bowl.
The Hurricanes and Panthers met during this year's Kickoff Classic at Tampa's Dads Stadium.
