Season Outlook:

North returns 4 seniors that have combined 42-12 record the last 2 years. The Greyhounds will play a very competitive non-conference schedule that includes: HP Westchester, East Forsyth, Reagan, Mt. Airy, East Surry, NW Guilford, and 3 games in the Frank Spencer Memorial Tournament. The team relies on Hawks and Phillips to create offensively as well as outside shooting of Tucker. Hull is best post defender and only post scorer. Returning soph. Mason Gwyn and seniors Ethan Simmons, Avery Smith, and Chase Chandler could all provide much needed athleticism, quickness, and depth.
