SCF Manatees hang tough for one half, fall to defending national champs (Bradenton Herald)
December 19, 2013MANATEE -- For one half of basketball, the State College of Florida men stayed with the defending national junior college champions. Unfortunately, the host Manatees eventually succumbed Wednesday night, dropping an 88-61 contest to College of Central Florida (14-3), which came into the game ranked 20th nationally and third in the state. What the struggling Manatees (1-14) learned is that they could be an awfully good team if they get a few more guys to play with the energy level of Deonte Hearns. The 6-foot-6 freshman had a game-high 15 rebounds, despite going against the Patriots' huge front line, and led the Manatees with 22 points.
