Plant took quite a beating from Bradenton Manatee and it showed up in more ways than just the scoreboard.

Several starters sustained injuries, but it won’t prevent them from going all out at Plant’s practice later this afternoon.

Despite being hobbled for most of last Friday’s game with an ankle injury, Phillip Ely won’t be limited when the Panthers begin preparation for Tampa Bay Tech today. Neither will James Wilder, who suffered from severe cramping in the second half and left the field when the game was over with a noticeable limp.

Plant coach Robert Weiner said his starters will be “full tilt” when they take the practice field later today.
