BRADENTON -- The Manatee Hurricanes head into the season with one of their mostly highly-touted teams of all time. Following a 2012 season that saw Coach Kinnan and his 'Canes earn their 5th state championship, the team enters the season ranked the number one high school team in the entire U.S. by Maxpreps and number three by USA Today. Fans can get their first look at this year's team at the Friday night Kickoff Classic at Hawkins Stadium, when the 'Canes host Osceola. Manatee's games are broadcast live on WLSS AM 930.
