- Football Coach Joshua Just led the Varsity football team from 2004 to 2013. Derek Stoudt replaced Just as the Varsity head coach with aid from assistant coaches, Brandon Brakstad, Eddie Handsome, Paul Adams, and Zach Landis. Assistant Junior Varsity Coaches are Steve Hester, and Drew Ferguson. The short history of the team has not had a stable reputation with wins and losses changing drastically from season to season, in 2005, they lost every single game but five years later in 2010, they went almost undefeated, losing only one game. Sam Rogers started as a quarterback all four years of his high school career. He led the team to two county championships and three Central Region championships. In 2013, Rogers went on to play for the Virginia Tech Hokies and in the 2017 NFL draft, the L.A. Rams selected him as the 206th overall pick. The Hawks have won over half of the Playoffs they played in since 2006. The student section of the stands at the football games is called the 'Hawk's Nest,' whose biggest competition is Atlee High School's 'Rage Cage.'
