As we prepare for the start of the 2021 season of North Cobb Warrior Football, we are happy that you have chosen to be a part of this rich and storied program. North Cobb has a proud tradition of excellence on and off the gridiron and is the pride of both the Acworth and Kennesaw communities.
Thanks to the incredible team of players, parents, coaches, administrators and community supporters our program is one of the most well-respected in the state. Here are just a few of our recent accomplishments:

• Our 2020 team was the 9th team in the last 10 years to make it to the state playoffs. • Our percentage of seniors that sign athletic scholarships is way above the national average. • Our team GPA this year was a 3.2, marking the 7th year in a row the team average was above a 3.0. The Warriors had 48 of their 77 players in 2020 with over a 3.0 resulting in college-prepared athletes. • There are currently over 30 young men playing at (or committed to play at) the collegiate level.
While we are thankful for these past successes, we’re still striving to reach our ultimate goal: winning a state football championship. We’ve renovated our facilities (our locker room and weight room now rival some collegiate programs) and are working hard to make North Cobb the best place in the state to play football. Ultimately, we believe it’ll be our boys that bring our program forward. That’s why we’re investing more than ever before in their experience and in our one-of-a-kind player development program.
Our players are be challenged to find their PURPOSE — their “why” in life. They are learning to be their best every day in school and compete with PASSION. Our student athletes are also learning to PERSEVERE, even when things get difficult. There’s a growing sense of PRIDE in our team, school and community. Our players are gaining a newfound appreciation for accountability and the power of developing meaningful relationships with PEOPLE.
I believe with their continued hard work, and your unwavering support, we can conquer the toughest schedule in the state, win our region and compete for the state championship!
GO WARRIORS!
