@ManateeMBB beat IMG on Senior Night to close out the regular season. Senior Josh Rutledge led in scoring. Sophs Tatum Spikes and Keith Fields led the charge on off & def. JV took care of business too. So proud of all the players and how they’ve developed this season #canespride

All the highlights of ⁦@ManateeMBB⁩ win over Palmetto are up on my IG. This one stands out because both players are seniors & close friends. Josh w the board & gorgeous dime up to Robert for the lefty layup. Upperclassmen made sure we left IMG w a win #clutch #goCanes

[Eric Garfield @Eric_Birdland]

With every factor against us including a double digit deficit in the 4th, @ManateeMBB fought ALL THE WAY back to win 52-50 against St Pete Catholic! Proud isn’t enough of a word to describe what we saw today from our players. We’re getting healthy going into 2023 too #canesPride

@ManateeMBB gets the W over ODA at Shorecrest. Senior Josh Rutledge dropped 22 (5/8FTs) to lead the Canes to win no. 3. Jr. Elijah Perry & Soph. Keith Fields trapped, stole the ball and hit foul shots to wrap it up #goCanes

[Eric Garfield @Eric_Birdland]

This is worth celebrating! Another Manatee High athlete on to bigger & better things at the next level. Koby grew into being a QB’s 1st look in a clutch spot so it’s no surprise that his education will be free. #goCanes

[Manatee Basketball @ManateeMBB]

Great win for the canes as Senior Josh Rutledge leads with 28 pts followed by Senior @DeeWhite_23 with 15pts #caneprideneverdies

[Eric Garfield @Eric_Birdland]

@ManateeMBB gets the W & Josh Rutledge makes the all-tournament team. Congrats to the Canes #caneprideneverdies

Don’t know if I can do this but highlights from @ManateeMBB JV’s win over Winthrop are up on my IG. If you think @EanJohnson_ is only a 🏈 athlete, you’re wrong and here’s a preview….

Great time win next up Sarasota

Seniors Josh Rutledge & Robert Barthalow connect for the game winner as time expires. @ManateeMBB takes it from Booker by 1! JV won their game too so the program is 2-0 on the day. Nothing better than seeing the ones who work so hard celebrate after a W. #canesPride🟥🟦
