For A Lake Minneola Turnaround, It Will Take A Team Effort

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When it comes to talking about the 2025 season, Lake Minneola head football coach <strong>Abre Leggins</strong> will not hide his feelings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>But instead of dwelling on the 1-9 season the Hawks had, being outscored, 476-75, he would much rather look at the big picture.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a program that has fallen off – and there is no hiding that fact. But there is a reason to believe that getting back to the level this program had reached not too long ago will take a commitment – by everyone involved.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As they are coming off spring and into the summer, this team understands that what you put into anything will equal results and that is something they head into the 2026 season believing.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If they are to start turning the corner, this 2027 senior class will be essential. From a leadership standpoint and experience, it's this class that can certainly be a place where it all starts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some of those seniors that will be looked upon this coming season:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>CLASS OF 2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
