Haines City Driven By 2023 Finish

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While the 2023 season didn't totally end up like Haines City had planned, the way they ended the year gave them promises and hope moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach <strong>Pat Herrington</strong> and the Hornets dropped a state playoff game to Lake Minneola, which not only sent them into the off-season with a bad taste, but the way they performed much of the season was enough to drive this program this spring and into the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>That 6-5 record had plenty of meaning, especially for a team that won four of the last five games after and lost two early season games by a combined 12 points.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is plenty of talent coming back in all the classes, and that is what this program is banking on to get back to the state playoffs next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>2025</strong></p>
