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.
