Outlook: The Hawks shift districts and must regroup after almost two-thirds of the roster is gone from last year's 4-6 team. Coach Chris Ellis has only four starters back. He'll rely on RBs Richard Smoak and Lee Clubb. Jesse Harris takes over at QB. The offensive line could be a strength, with Chaucey Rose and Caleb England showing potential. The smallest school in the district might need some time to adjust to a new group of players and a new district.
