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.

  • 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

  • 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.
