ENGLEWOOD — Lemon Bay High School showed some nerves early in its Region 5A-4 quarterfinal against Estero. That can happen when your friends are in the stands, yelling loudly and dressed like skeletons.
But the Mantas overcame early mistakes to sweep the Wildcats 28-26, 25-19, 25-16. They advanced to Tuesday’s semifinal at Lely High School.
