Corky Kell & Dave Hunter Classic Team Previews - North Atlanta

NORTH ATLANTA HIGH SCHOOL

Head coach Jamie Aull will be entering his sixth season at the helm for North Atlanta, and aside from his inaugural seasons in 2020, the Warriors have put together winning seasons every year under Aull. North Atlanta has back-to-back seasons with a 9-2 record, and picked up its first-ever region title last season. However, the Warriors in their 25-year history have never advanced past the second round of the playoffs. Aull will be looking to make history and take North Atlanta farther than ever before as the team looks to remain competitive in 2025.

Aull has continued to take North Atlanta to new heights as a head coach. In addition to the three-consecutive playoff appearances, the Warriors made history in 2024. For the first time in school history, North Atlanta secured a region championship and finished with nine wins in back-to-back seasons. Aull has undoubtedly been an integral part to the success of the Fulton County program.

In 2025, North Atlanta will have to replace Region 6-6A Player of the Year Ian Reynolds, who graduated a season ago and Chase Linton (Georgia), who was the Defensive Player of the Year. Reynolds and Linton were key cornerstone pieces and the faces of the North Atlanta program for the past four seasons.

The Warriors will have one of the best kickers in the state returning in Lucas England who was an all-region selection in 2024. Cameron Lanier will be a playmaker to watch on offense along with Josh McCullough, possibly the biggest name to watch on offense. McCullough had a coming out party against Kell in the Corky Kell & Dave Hunter Classic in 2024, finishing with four catches for 131 yards and two touchdowns. It was one of his best games of the season and he put the whole state on notice, showing how good he can be when he is a featured part of an offense.

On defense the Warriors will return rising sophomore cornerback Bryce Willingham who was a first-team all-region selection as a freshman. Willingham finished with 26 tackles and three interceptions in his first season as a varsity player. Despite some new faces and changes to its core, North Atlanta will be a formidable opponent in 2025.
