NORTHCOBBFOOTBALL.COM

WELCOME TO THE WARRIOR NATION! As we prepare for the start of the 2020 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 2019 team was the 8th team in the last 9 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 3.05, marking the 6th year in a row the team average was above a 3.0. The Warriors had 42 of their 75 players in 2019 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 (every team a 2019 playoff team), win our region and compete for the state championship!

GO WARRIORS!

Shane Queen Head Coach, North Cobb High School

HEAD COACH

SHANE QUEEN In 2020, Head Coach Shane Queen will spend his 15th season on the sidelines at Emory Sewell Stadium. The longest-tenured coach in Cobb County, his 132 wins make him one of the winningest active coaches in the state. He leads all active 3-AAAAAAA coaches with 2 region championships and has led the Warriors to the state playoffs in 10 of his 14 seasons to-date.

Recently recognized as the City of Acworth’s ‘Citizen of the Year,’ Coach Queen has coached 37 All-State players and helped hundreds of young men achieve their dreams of playing college football. Coach Queen graduated from Tennesee Tech University with a degree in Health & Physical Education and holds a Master’s Degree in Administration. While at TTU, Coach Queen was named an All-American in his senior season. Coach Queen and his wife — Alisha —have four children: Tyler, Tanner, Dalton and Rileigh.

1959-1967 (ALBERT MATTHEWS) Coach Albert Matthews was the first Head Coach at North Cobb High School. He led two teams to the state championship (57, 59) in his 17-year coaching career. In 1993, the football field was named in his honor.

1968-1973 (EMORY SEWELL) Coach Emory Sewell served as the Head Coach for six seasons before stepping down to become an assistant principal. His teams were noted for hard-nosed defense. In 1985, the football stadium was named in his honor.

1974-1985 (ROSCOE CARDEN) Coach Roscoe Carden never had a losing season at North Cobb. A defensive powerhouse, his 1979 team went undefeated and lost in the state quarterfinals to eventual state champions Clarke Central (14-7).

HISTOR TRADIT

1986-1995 (R. LASSITER & J. ALLISON) Coach Robert Lassiter and Coach John Allison were the fourth and fifth coaches in program history, respectively. Both men left a tremendous mark on the young men they influenced.

1996-2005 (BOB CLARK) Coach Bob Clark —a long-time Warriors assistant —quickly got the program back on the right track. His 1997 and 2002 teams were widely-considered to be two of the best in the state.

2006-PRESENT (SHANE QUEEN) Coach Queen is the winningest coach in North Cobb history.

Under his leadership, the Warriors have become one of the premier high school programs in the state of Georgia.

COMING SOON!

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO TAKE A SUMMER VACATION? Ideally, the week of July 4th, June 26-July 5, is the best time to take a vacation. This ensures the Warrior doesn’t miss any strength and speed training as well as conditioning. During the summer workouts, 7 on 7 passing games against other local schools take place as well as camps for 9th grade, JV and varsity players. You can find most dates on the summer calendar but know that often, an opportunity arises that is not on the calendar. Most importantly, at the end of every summer session, an offensive, defensive and special teams install will take place. Missing workouts will impact the Warriors opportunity to earn a spot and learn the system and fundamentals.

WHAT IS A TYPICAL SUMMER WORKOUT? Each summer workout consists of strength training, speed and agilities from 8:00-9:30AM. At the conclusion of the workout, there will be a 15-minute break for the player to eat a PBJ sandwich and hydrate with water. After the break, the Warriors take the field for Special Teams fundamentals, Offensive or Defensive fundamentals followed by Offensive or Defensive install and Special Teams install from 9:4510:45AM. The day will conclude with team conditioning until 11:00AM.

FA

WHAT IF WE’VE ALREADY PLANNED ANOTHER TRIP? Look at the summer calendar and see what falls on that week or during that trip. Communicate with the coaching staff about any absences. Coaches will be calling players each day after workouts asking about their whereabouts if they aren’t in attendance. Your communication will prevent a call and interruption in any planned trips.

WHAT ABOUT WEATHER-RELATED ISSUES (HEAT, RAIN, STORMS, ETC)?

North Cobb High School operates on a Wet-Bulb reading and is documented daily. This instrument measures the heat and humidity and Georgia High School Association has policies in place for different readings of the wet bulb. The coaching staff is equipped with a text alert system for lightening, heat and humidity as well. Precautions will be taken for any inclement weather. We are still able to lift weights and perform speed, agilities, conditioning and fundamentals/install indoors if we need to. Weather should never be a reason to miss a workout.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SCHEDULE OTHER APPOINTMENTS? When planning for doctor, dentist, orthodontics and other appointments, please try to plan according to the calendar. When possible, plan when we have down time, are not in school, have no practice, etc. Any missed practices once the season begins will influence the athletes dress out/playing time in that game.

WHAT ARE ACCLIMATION DAYS? The GHSA requires a 5-day period, July 27-31, in which each player must practice in shorts and helmets ONLY to acclimate them to the weather. These five days are non-negotiable and MUST be completed before the athlete can participate in any practices involving any equipment other than helmet and cleats. No exceptions can be made as this is a GHSA-mandated rule. With this in mind, please DO NOT miss these important days for any reason.

WHAT FEES SHOULD I EXPECT TO PAY? Registration is $400 per player. A $50 discount is available when paying up-front and in-full. A 50/50 payment plan is also available to families that wish to divide the fees up over time. Should you choose to take advantage of our 50/50 payment plan, $200 is due at the time of registration, $200 is due before Spring Training (May 4, 2020).

WHAT FUNDRAISING RESPONSIBILITIES DOES MY SON HAVE? As you can imagine, the fees we charge each player do not come close to covering all of the costs associated with each season. Because we strive to create an environment of excellence, every student athlete is expected to participate in a variety of fundraising opportunities throughout the year. These opportunities may include, but are not limited to: Big South Volleyball Set-Up/Tear-Down, Warrior Cards, Lift-AThon, and others.

AQ WHAT EQUIPMENT IS MY SON RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING? Each player is provided EVERYTHING they need from head to toe, with the exception of their game cleats (MUST be WHITE, NIKE cleats).

Last year’s WHITE, NIKE cleats may be used again. If a player needs a NEW pair of cleats, they can be ordered through NC Football. The cost for these cleats will be waived if the player raises $150+ for the Lift-A-Thon. NO OTHER CLEATS can be worn in JV or Varsity games.

Game socks and Dry-Fit shirts will be provided.

Each player should have a pair of cleats to practice in as well as a pair of workout sneakers to keep in their locker if we must practice inside. It is also a good idea to keep a hoodie or sweatshirt in their locker for the cool days that we go outside in the winter.

WHAT DO FRIDAYS IN THE FALL LOOK LIKE? Players are expected to be in the locker room IMMEDIATELY after school. Upon arriving in the locker room, each player will receive a personalized schedule with details unique to that night’s game. While cell phones are permitted for personal music listening, we strongly recommend that players avoid any outside communication until after the game is over. Players DO NOT need any food or drinks delivered on the afternoon of a game. As a staff, we will make sure each player is properly fed and hydrated before the game. If your player does need to contact someone on a Friday afternoon, he MUST communicate with a coach beforehand.

WHAT ABOUT FALL BREAK? Please refer to the included calendar for Fall Break practice plans. Although we will not have practice Monday through Wednesday of that week, we will resume practice (at an adjusted time) on Thursday and Friday. Players should make arrangements to be back in town Thursday and rested for practice.

BUILDING THE FUTURE...TOGETHER The Champions Fund exists to build the future of North Cobb Warrior Football. By bringing like-minded boosters together, we can elevate the experience for our coaches and studentathletes alike.

The Champions Fund operates under the umbrella of our Touchdown Club, but exists as an ‘over and above’ fund to house gifts from the most-passionate Warrior Football fans. While the Touchdown Club helps us tackle the day-today operations of running our program with excellence, the Champions Fund is designed to help us take the next step on the state-wide stage.

Gifts to the Champions Fund are tax-deductible and are used to faciliate Coach Queen’s vision of making North Cobb High School the very best place to play and coach the game of football in the state of Georgia.

Together, we can create an unrivaled atmosphere and experience for each of our student athletes and provide Coach Queen with additional resources he needs to help recruit and retain top-level coaching talent.

NORTH COBB TOUCH DOWN CLUB 26

WIN THE MOMENT WELCOME TO THE 2020 WARRIOR FOOTBALL SEASON! My name is Jason Ellsworth and I am the North Cobb Touchdown Club President; just a fancy title for one that just wants to serve the kids and leadership in our football program. Coach Queen and his staff are in continual service to our boys and I encourage and look forward to all of us parents following his example.

Our boys are still reliant upon us to encourage and support them and with football, we have so many opportunities to continue to be a part of our sons’ football careers. The opportunities to serve are great and so are the blessings in return for our efforts. I look forward to the 2020 season where we all get a chance to share in these blessings.

The North Cobb Warrior program is moving forward with the theme of WIN THE MOMENT. I encourage you and your families to embrace this mantra, too. When we WIN THE MOMENT, we are in control of the plans we make, each step we take, and the results from our decisions.

These are characteristics that we want to instill in our boys and we hope that you will be a part of this movement.

The North Cobb Touchdown Booster Club is an arm of service to our boys and to the program leadership. If we are all able to do a little, the yoke is light and the weight is manageable.

As I lead this effort of service, my goal is so that the parents of our boys, 6th-10th grade are able to manage the majority of the work, so that when they become 11th and 12th graders — and we are 11th and 12th grade parents — we are able to sit back and enjoy the Friday night lights.

Please don’t hesitate to volunteer, your efforts are wanted, needed and valued!

WIN THE MOMENT!

Jason Ellsworth President, NC Touchdown Club
