A record-setting turnaround, two state runner-up performances, a career-ending injury and many more storylines punctuated the 2019 high school football season. Winless a year ago, North Lenoir posted a program-best eight victories and returned to the playoffs with second-year head coach Jim Collins. Parrott Academy and Bethel Christian Academy each fell in their respective N.C. Independent Schools Athletic Association Division I and II 8-man football championship games. Michael Webb overcame a concussion to help lead Ayden-Grifton to its 19th consecutive postseason berth.
