Suwannee Is Too Talented Not To Contend

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After putting together successive winning seasons and compiling 16 wins, there were very high expectations for Live Oak Suwanee's football program last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>For veteran head coach <strong>Kyler Hall</strong> and the Bulldogs, losing all three District 2-3A games was never planned and may have altered the rest of the season completely, but even in adversity, things could have still turned out differently.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While there were those wins against Mayo Lafayette, Taylor County, Jacksonville Atlantic Coast and Tallahassee Chiles, the season, which finished 4-7, nearly turned around with a first-round state playoff setback against a quality Tallahassee Godby squad in a game that came down to the wire, which gave the players, coaches and fans plenty to look forward to.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If things are to turn around in 2025 it will be up to the rising senior (2026) class that has plenty of talent, leadership and the experience that will be needed to challenge Glen St. Mary Baker County, [player_tooltip player_id='1895147' first='Crawfordville' last='Wakulla'] and Tallahassee Godby in the district.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some of those players to keep an
