BRADENTON – Nothing better sums up the Hurricanes’ early season struggles than a pair of plays early in the fourth quarter of Friday night’s game.

With Manatee trailing 23-7, Logan Rogers – bothered by a fierce pass rush all night – connected with fellow wide receiver Sean Wilson for 14 yards on third-and-15, finally ending a streak of 10 consecutive incompletions for the 6-foot-3 senior quarterback.

He and his teammates frantically rushed to line up in true “Tush Push” tradition at their own 18-yard line. Confusion ensued. And Rogers was stopped for no gain on fourth down.

It’s precisely how things have gone for the always-proud Manatee program so far in 2025, and it’s how things went – or didn’t go – in a 30-13 loss to the visiting Bobcats before a good crowd at Hawkins Stadium.
