Prep football: Ace Sanders' memorable moments at Manatee

Ace Sanders became a fourth-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars today following a successful three-year stint as a South Carolina Gamecock.
Before all that, however, Sanders was a Manatee Hurricane. A four-year starter, Sanders helped the Canes to three playoff appearances, two regional titles and a state title game while pulling in 138 catches during a career that stretched from 2006-09
Here are some of his more memorable moments in Canes colors:

Oct. 20, 2006: Sanders and another fine freshman, quarterback Brion Carnes, teamed for the game's only touchdown as the Hurricanes beat rival Riverview 7-0 at the Ram Bowl. It's the first career varsity touchdown for Sanders, and a harbinger of things to come.
Nov. 23, 2006: He doesn't get in the end zone, but Sanders pulled in a team-high three catches for 28 yards as Manatee defeats North Fort Myers 20-14 to win the Class 5A-Region 3 title and secure a second straight trip to the state final four.
Nov. 16, 2007: Sanders totals a game-high 105 receiving yards in Manatee's 31-28 win at Fort Myers in a Class 5A-Region 3 quarterfinal. Spurred on by Sanders, Manatee erases a 21-3 deficit in the first half to win their 10th game of the season and advance into the regional semifinals.
Sept. 26, 2008: This was the only year Sanders didn't make the playoffs at Manatee, but his performance in a 35-14 win over Port Charlotte shouldn't be forgotten. He threw for a touchdown, caught a pass for one and also scored on a 99-yard kickoff return. Sanders led the Canes in receptions (27) and was second in scoring (54 points) in '08.
Dec. 11, 2009: Sanders' final game inside Joe Kinnan Field at Hawkins Stadium was the best of all. The Hurricanes defeated the nation's top-ranked team, Fort Lauderdale St. Thomas Aquinas, 28-20 in a Class 5A state semifinal, snapping the Raiders' 37-game winning streak. Sanders came up huge, scoring a pair of touchdowns and essentially sealing the victory when he fell on Aquinas' onsides kick. The win helped Manatee reach a state final for the first time since 1993 and helped put the program back on the national radar.

Prep track: More fallout from Class 1A-District 10 meet at ODA

photo by Tiffany Tompkins-Condie

Technical difficulties. Hand-time races. A running time of over 10 hours.
Plenty went wrong during last week's Class 1A-District 10 meet at Out-of-Door Academy, which also included athletes from Cardinal Mooney and Saint Stephen's.
A new development arose Monday: The wrong boys champion was crowned.
According to a story on the Tampa Bay Times' website, St. Petersburg Admiral Farragut had to hand over the team championship trophy to St. Petersburg Northside Christian, which won the meet by a point.
Farragut initially won the meet by a point, but the scoring was redone because of the 110 hurdles. Officials couldn't decide between the race's fourth and fifth finisher, a crucial element considering the top four finishers in each event advance to regional.
So Farragut's Samuel Hermanns and Northside's Mark Kinzler ran again, with Kinzler defeating Hermanns. The printed results, however, had Hermanns finishing fourth.
“In 27 years of coaching, it was the most disorganized meet I’ve ever seen,” AFA volunteer coach Phil Barnhill told the Tampa Bay Times.
