2015 Outlook: Coming off the 2014 season that saw the Hawks win their second consecutive (10th overall) District XI Championship, the 2015 squad is poised to make another run.

Offensively, Becahi returns all of their skill position players from last year with the exception of NC State bound Freddie Simmons Jr.. With a year of experience and another offseason of training the Hawk offense could be one of the most explosive in the area after averaging 42.2 ppg in 2014.

Defensively, Becahi returns three linebackers who saw starting time last year, as well as four of 5 starting defensive backs.

The biggest holes will be replacing three offensive and defensive lineman. Overall, Coach Henrich believes he will have an experienced and hungry squad in 2015 with a bitter taste of a 0‐30 loss in the state quarterfinals to Somerset.
