A Legacy Reimagined
The Lexington Minutemen have named Jacob Owens as their new head coach, approving him unanimously just weeks after the sudden passing of longtime mentor Andrew Saris.
Owens, who has served as the team’s offensive coordinator for the past three seasons under Saris, inherits a program that averaged 39.5 points per game last fall and captured the Ohio Cardinal Conference championship.
The transition comes after the departure of a 20‑player senior class, including standouts Brayden Fogle and Joe Caudill, leaving the roster in flux but also opening opportunities for younger talent.
Owens says he intends to honor Saris’s legacy while steering the team toward its own identity, emphasizing continuity in scheme and culture as the Minutemen look to prove themselves on the field this season.
