NORTHSIDE CHRISTIAN
Head Coach: Greg Tally (2nd year as Northside Christian football coach/7-12 at Northside Christian).
2016 Record (Conference): 6-5.
2017 Conference: NCISAA West conference/NCISAA Division III.
Returning Starters: 7
Returning Lettermen: 16
Key Returning Starters: Elijah Johnson, Jr., QB/CB (5-10, 175); Blake Ferguson, Jr., C/MLB (6-0, 215); Malachi Rennix, Jr., WR/CB (5-7, 165); Christian McMoore, Jr., OL (5-9, 250); Josiah Andrews, Sr., OL (6-1, 220).
Key Newcomers: N/A.
Outlook: The Knights made big strides in year two of the program, as Coach Greg Tally and company won six games (one win in 2015) before falling to eventual, NCISAA Division III state champion, Statesville Christian the playoffs. This year, Northside Christian move into a tough, NCISAA West conference, but will look to junior QB, Elijah Johnson (1,758 yards passing, 21 touchdowns) and an experienced offensive line (four of five starters back) to be a factor and league play and try to get their first postseason win and more.
