Athletics
New Name, Same Pride and Passion
With our name change to State College of Florida, Manatee-Sarasota, we have changed our mascot to the Manatees to recognize the long lineage of athletic success we built as Manatee Junior College and Manatee Community College. As the Lancers and now the Manatees, we are known throughout the conference, the state and the country for our dedication, desire and determination to succeed.
No matter your reason for visiting our Web site, we are sure you will be impressed with the pride, passion and professionalism displayed by everyone involved with SCF Athletics. We take great pride in our amazing athletic staff, our superior family of coaches and the top-notch student athletes that compete for us. Our philosophy is straightforward: We encourage our student athletes to "make BIG plays and earn GREAT grades!" We aim for them to succeed on and off the athletic arenas.
Go Manatees!
