Following a 46 to 41 victory on the road against Chattahoochee High School on Nov. 2, the Warriors capped off their first season under head coach Sean O’Sullivan. The team kicked off its season with a convincing 20 to 7 win over Grady High School in their rivalry game for the second-consecutive season. In a Sept. 21 homecoming game against Cambridge High School, the Warriors secured their first victory on homecoming night in 10 years by a final score of 23 to 14. With the win over Chattahoochee on Nov. 2, North Atlanta completed the season with a win-loss record of 5 wins and 5 losses, which was the team’s first .500 winning percentage or better since 2010. While they missed the playoffs this season, O’Sullivan and the Warriors still had one of the more historic seasons in school history while also laying the foundation for future success. Interviewed players were reflective about what was accomplished, and even about whether the team might have secured even more “dubs for Dubs.”
