New Coach, Same Objective At Royal Palm Beach

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When they started the season 4-1 in 2024, there was a feeling that Royal Palm Beach could make a splash in District 12-6A.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With plenty of talent and a solid coaching staff, the Wildcats would end up advancing to the state playoffs and finishing 7-4.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the season ended, there was a push to work hard in the off-season to once again battle state champion West Boca Raton in district play – with some quality returnees.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When veteran head coach <strong>Chuck Kenyon</strong> stepped down, it left a void in a program that had slowly built into a winner. Kenyon, along with his coaching staff, had given this program an identity.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it was time to pick a successor, they didn't have to look far as the popular <strong>Sam Curry</strong> was chosen to take over, and things have certainly started to take off with some returners and new faces.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some of the players at the “New Royal Palm” to keep an eye on this coming season:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CLASS OF 2026</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Raoul Brown, S/WR, 6'4, 175 – 3.9 GPA.
