As veteran head football coach Eddie Delgado, his players and assistant coaches look back at the 2024 season, all will agree that the Doral Academy Firebirds underachieved.
Finishing 5-5 overall and 1-2 in District 16-6A did land this team in the playoffs, but despite a win against Southwest Miami, it turned out to be the two district setbacks to Miami Southridge and Homestead that ended up being the downfall.
As they headed into the off-season and look toward spring, there is a sense that this program can start to turn the corner – with returning players and some newcomers that are expected to join in the coming months.
There are several players coming back that not only have the experience, but talent and leadership.
The rising senior (2026) class has plenty of playmakers. He are a few of them:
