- Athletics
- Football
-
In the 2006 football season, North Cobb returned to the playoffs but lost to Grayson High School, 22-21. They finished 6-5.
- In the 2007 football season, North Cobb was #1 in the state for five weeks straight and in the top 25 of a USA Today High School poll, at 10-0, before losing to Peachtree Ridge High School in the first round play-off game. Even though the warriors had a heart breaking loss in the first round of the Georgia playoffs, the North Cobb Football Team had a storybook season, which if it went the way it should have, the warriors would have won a State Championship, they had the tools and the skill, strength, and speed, but it just didn't fall into place. This team single handedly turned around the mood of the town of Acworth. At seasons end the Warriors held the Region 5-AAAAA Championship, Top of the Rock Trophy (Beat Harrison), and Civil War Trophy (Beat Kennesaw Mountain). Quarterback Matt Roark went on to play for Kentucky, offensive lineman Matt Britain signed with Ohio, running back Calvin Middleton with Jacksonville State, cornerback Oliver davis with Georgia Southern, outside linebacker Nnamdi Ezenwa with Purdue, defensive end Jarvis West with Morgan State, wide receiver Donte Sawyer with Morehead State, nose tackle Alonzo Jones with Howard, outside linebacker Bryan Presume with a JUCO school, Coffeville, and offensive lineman Mike Frankovsky with Keyon College. The 2007 Warrior Football team will go down in history as the best team ever at North Cobb and arguably the best in Cobb County in a long time. this team was very impressive, and that first round loss gave their true talent level no justice, that was not the true Warrior football team. This team laid down the expectations for the future Warrior Nation.
- The 2008 football team finished the season 5-5. They opened the season with an win over MLK 24-21 with a last second field goal by kicker Stephen Petillo. Key contributors to the 2008 Warriors include wide receiver Rico Mack, Quarterback Micheal Emerson, Quarterback/Outside Linebacker Evan Hester, Center/Nose Tackle James Lambert, middle linebacker Jared "turtle" Taylor, and Defensive lineman Derrick Lott and Terrel Roberts.
- The current record for the 2009 season is 2-2 after a devastating 28-10 victory over Kennesaw Mountain.
- Cross Country
-
Cross Country is the pride of North Cobb High School. The girls team ran their way to state in the 2007 season, finishing 4th in the region, and the team holds a high average GPA. Next season the running warriors hope to place even higher in the state and regional championships. In 2001, 2003, 2004 and 2008, the boys team made it to the State Championships.
