The King’s Academy Lions are entering a pivotal Year 5 under head coach Daniel Burack — and the program is evolving in a big way.
Not only are the Lions coming off a playoff season where multiple games came down to just a few plays, but they’re also making a major move from the FHSAA to the SSAC — a shift that reflects the program’s identity, culture, and long-term vision.
Coach Burack explains how that move fits their philosophy:
building a program around development, continuity, and a true team culture in an era of constant roster movement.
With one of the largest senior classes he’s had, plus young talent stepping into bigger roles, King’s Academy is focused on effort, attitude, and execution this spring.
We also hear from defensive leaders Ben McPherson and James Powell, who highlight major improvements in communication, speed, and physicality — and make one thing clear: The goal is a state championship.
