No Looking Back For Palm Beach Lakes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Instead of dwelling on last year's 2-8 record, head coach <strong>Tumarian Moreland </strong>and his football program would much rather focus on the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There is no getting around the fact that things haven't been great at Palm Beach Lakes for much of the past decade, but that appears to be changing, and with a solid group of players, outstanding coaching and a commitment to turning things around, this off-season has certainly been productive as players continue to take part in events that will get them better.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>If the Rams are going to turn the corner and be competitive in a very strong District 12-7A with Palm Beach Central, Wellington and Jupiter, it will have to be a process, and the team is willing to put in plenty during the spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The rising senior (2026) class will be a great place to start with a solid group.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here is a look at some of those 2026 prospects to keep an eye on:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph
