Most Important Games
Greene Central (8/22): Season opener against a quality opponent — a chance to make an early statement.
South Lenoir (8/29): Rivalry game. These are the ones you have to win.
North Johnston (10/24): A winnable matchup in a stacked conference. The Hawks must capitalize on opportunities like this.
Most Important Player
RJ Warren (ATH): The playmaker for the Hawks. A strong, fast athlete with size, heart, and the ability to impact the game in multiple ways.
Players to Look Out For
Devin Gray: A gritty, physical player who loves contact. His toughness will make him a key contributor for the Hawks.
Strengths
Strong running game
Speed across the defense
Weaknesses
Many holes to fill after heavy graduation losses
New leaders must step up
Trey’s Take
North Lenoir is in year three under head coach Larry Dale, and while a lot of last season’s talent has moved on, this group should still be improved. The record may not reflect their growth, but expect a more disciplined football team.
Schedule Prediction: 4–6 Regular Season
Final Word: The Hawks are in a tough conference, but if new leaders emerge and the run game holds steady, this team has a chance to keep building toward something stronger.
