After three seasons in the AHSAA, the Northside Methodist are hoping to finally earn a 'signature win' in 2023.
DAVID MUNDEE As he hit the field in the spring leading a team for the first time, new Northside Methodist head coach Stefan Gainey couldn’t help but notice how his players reacted.
The Knights are coming off a 4-6 season in their third year since joining the Alabama High School Athletic Association in 2020. It was their first season of region play and postseason eligibility. NMA went 2-6 in Class 3A, Region 2 play with wins over Ashford and New Brockton in the final two games of the season. They lost two other region games by one point and three points and a third by just 10 points.
Gainey said senior leadership has been vital for the Knights in offseason and preseason workouts in preparation for the season. NMA has 12 seniors. Joining Clements as a likely backfield starter is Jordan Sanford , who will line up at fullback. Jesse Dyson will also see time at fullback. Most of the players will also have to play on defense, which returns six starters. The secondary returns three of the starters in Gainey Jr. at cornerback and Jadyn Watkins and Clements at the safety positions. Jacobsen is the projected other starter at cornerback.
Fitz Carter returns for the third year as the Knights’ kicker and punter. Caleb Watkins is the holder for the scoring kicks and Sanford is the long snapper for punts and kicks.
