All-State Author: Ladorian Leonard uses poetry as escape from football

Caleb Turrentine / The Herald

Ladorian Leonard poses with his new book of poetry entitled “June”

Ladorian Leonard walked off the football field for the final time as a Mustang after Stanhope Elmore fell to Saraland in the first round of the playoffs in November. Leonard finished off his career with his best individual season but the adventure of his final high school year was just beginning.

Last week, Leonard got his first proof copy of a book of poetry titled June. What was so special about this book was the name on the front of it.
