Yet, this is still the historical rivalry for Manatee County. ... These two are playoff teams, and Manatee owns a 20-14 lead in the all-time series. Southeast is the last Manatee County team to defeat the Hurricanes. ... The Noles did it in 2006. ... Southeast is coming off a playoff-clinching victory, in which the Noles needed a second-half comeback to head back to the playoffs. ... Manatee secured its playoff life with a road victory in Lithia last week.
