 2016 Preview 


       Northside Methodist Academy completed the 2015 season with a 7-4 record. With their 4-2 region record and a third place finish in Class AA region two, the Knights earned a spot in the playoffs in 2015. Northside Methodist Academy's season came to an end in the first round of the playoffs when they fell to Clarke Prep by a score of 59-33.

       The Knights enjoyed the first winning season in the school's history in 2015. No team at Northside Methodist Academy ever won more games in a season than the seven victories last year. The 332 points scored by the Knights last year were a team record in a single season. The Knights qualified for the playoffs for the first time in the school's history in 2015. The Knights have never won a playoff game in the school's history. They would like to break through and pick up that first post season victory in 2016. The Knights hope to continue the success they had last season. Coach Harrison saw improvement as they won seven games following a 2-8 record in 2014.

      

       Northside Methodist Academy is a relatively new football program having fielded a team only two seasons. They have managed a record of 9-12 over the past two years.
