14U North Manatee Storm Playoff Bound

Under the Florida sun, the 14U North Manatee Storm didn’t just play football this season—they set the standard.

Week after week in the Premier Youth Spring Football League, the Storm didn’t just win… they dominated. Every opponent that stepped in their path felt the same thing: speed, discipline, and a team that refused to break.

At the center of it all stood quarterback Steven LeBlanc, number 3—calm in chaos, commanding every drive like a seasoned general. Whether it was threading passes through tight windows or extending plays when it mattered most, he became the heartbeat of an undefeated run.
And when the Storm took to the air, they came in waves. Wide receiver Dion Donkor, number 9, brought explosive speed and big-play ability—stretching defenses and turning moments into momentum. Alongside him, wide receiver Braylon Epps, number 12, added another dimension—reliable hands, sharp routes, and the ability to make plays when it mattered most. Together, they formed a dangerous duo that defenses struggled to contain.

Behind them, the ground game was relentless. Running back William Roseboro Jr punished defenses with every carry, turning small gaps into explosive plays and wearing down opponents quarter by quarter.

On the defensive side, the Storm brought the pressure. Linebacker Brody Mullins anchored the unit with physicality and instinct, flying sideline to sideline. Up front, defensive linemen Seth Rivera and Christian Johnson set the tone early—collapsing pockets, disrupting plays, and making every snap a battle.

And leading it all? Coach Chris Price—a steady presence, building not just a team, but a culture. Discipline. Execution. Brotherhood.

Now, the undefeated season has led them here. Playoffs. A collision course with Dem Boyz. This isn’t just another game. This is where seasons are defined. Where legacies begin. Where only one team moves on. The Storm arrive undefeated—but hungry. Because perfection means nothing… if you don’t finish.
