FEATS OF THE WEEK: Three teams from Florida have captured National Prep Football Poll titles since 2006. Preseason No. 1-ranked Bradenton, Manatee –- with 12 starters back from a state championship team -– aims to become the fourth. Senior Cord Sandberg, who enters his third year as starting quarterback, is a Mississippi St. recruit. He totaled 3,000 combined passing and rushing yards and 29 touchdowns while leading the Hurricanes to the Class 7A title. Manatee’s defense is anchored by an outstanding group of linemen, including blue chip tackle Derrick Calloway (uncommitted) and end Blake Keller (UCF), who had 14 sacks last year. The Hurricanes won 13 games in 2011 and had just two early season losses: to eventual Prep Poll champ Ramsey, N.J., Don Bosco and Olney, Md., Good Counsel, which ended the year ranked No. 4. This year’s schedule is without any out-of-state opponents, but features a showdown with No. 15 Miami, Central on Sept. 14. Veteran coach Joe Kinnan, who has been Manatee’s coach in two different stints, is 269-68-0 in 32 total seasons at the school.
