Manatee, Plant to meet again

The 2010 prep football season will pick up right where '09 left off:
Manatee vs. Tampa Plant.
The two will meet in August during a Kickoff Classic at Hawkins Stadium - eight months after duking it out for the Class 5A state championship, which Plant won 21-14 last Friday at the Florida Citrus Bowl.
The Hurricanes and Panthers opened the '09 season with a Kickoff Classic at Dads Stadium, where Manatee won 49-33.
Manatee finished the year ranked 26th in the RivalsHigh 100. Plant, which has won three state titles since '06, finished 17th.
The Hurricanes will play their spring game at Pinellas Park Largo, which advanced to the second round of the Class 4A playoffs, losing to Armwood.
"We're playing two good teams," said Manatee coach Joe Kinnan.
