MANATEE COUNTY -- Manatee will get its first major test of the season against a very good Venice squad who will be attempting their fist victory in four seasons over the 'Canes. Southeast and Palmetto will both look to bounce back from back-to-back losses in their kick-off classics and season openers, while Bradenton Christian, Lakewood Ranch and Braden River all look to build on impressive week 1 victories.
