Palmetto’s late rally routs Hialeah
Clinging to a 14-13 lead midway through the fourth quarter against a fired up and good Hialeah team on Thursday night, Palmetto, a team that entered the season with all kinds of big expectations, was in danger of dropping its second game in a row.
Three different Palmetto defensive backs picked off four Hialeah passes in the final eight minutes and returned three of them for touchdowns as the Panthers pulled away for a muchcloser-than-it-looked 34-13 win at Milander Stadium.
“Tonight was a struggle and we really came out with low energy,” said Palmetto head coach Mike Manasco. “Our secondary definitely bailed us out there in the end, but even they hadn’t had a great game up to that point. We have a lot of work ahead of us.”
Manasco watched as Corey Collier came up big with two of the interceptions, including a 70-yarder for a score that made it 20-13 with just over six minutes left.
Collier, a Class of 2021 prospect who has upwards of 40 FBS offers, then came through again four minutes later when he picked off another pass and appeared to be headed back to the end zone.
But he was stripped of the ball just before he went into the end zone and the TBreds recovered at their own 1 with 1:34 left.
