Most Important Games
South Lenoir (8/22): Season opener and a chance to start on the right foot.
Arendell Parrott Academy (8/28): A tough early test against a strong private school program.
Howard (9/5): Another crucial game to build confidence and momentum heading into conference play.
Most Important Player
Cam McKinney (ATH): A versatile athlete who can line up at any skill position, play both sides of the ball, and make plays everywhere. He’s the definition of a “ball player” and the key to this team’s success.
Players to Look Out For
Gage Mustachia: Expected to step up as a leader on and off the field.
Strengths
Strong running game
Team chemistry continues to build under Coach Perry
Weaknesses
Depth concerns
Lack of experience
Overall team strength compared to bigger opponents
Trey’s Take
Head coach Stephen Perry enters his second year at Jones Senior after guiding the Trojans through last season in 8-man football to protect players and adjust to participation numbers. Now back in the 11-man game, this team is trending in the right direction.
I like this group — from players to coaching staff. They’ll face challenges due to depth, but they have the heart and enough athletes to compete every Friday.
Schedule Prediction: 3–7 Regular Season
Final Word: Jones Senior is rebuilding the right way under Coach Perry, and while the road won’t be easy, the Trojans have the toughness to scrap and compete every week.
