Continue ReadingThere are several ways to look at the 6-6 finish in 2023 for Lakeland Victory Christian.
For head coach Kendrick Stewart and his Storm, a state playoff win was certainly a plus before losing to eventual state champion Sarasota Cardinal Mooney. So were wins over Lakeland Kathleen and rival Lakeland Christian.
This team also had their chances in several games, losing by a touchdown twice and by three points in another contest.
While that season-ending loss stung a bit after beating Zephyrhills Christian Academy in the opening round, it served as motivation for this program, heading into the off-season.
As spring moves closer, there is plenty of optimism with some key returners and new faces that have come over.
The rising senior class has talent, experience and leadership, which Coach Stewart and the staff will depend on.
There are also some rising juniors and sophomores that figure to keep this team in the mix throughout the season.
Here is a look at some of the prospects heading into spring:
