September 19, 2025—On a home football night that concluded with the Warriors' first region win of the season, North Cobb High School began the evening by celebrating its most recent members of the school's Athletic Hall of Fame. Six extraordinary individuals—and one dedicated couple—were introduced as the 2025 Hall of Fame Class before the Warriors took the field against region-rival Walton. It was an exciting evening filled with pride, memories, community spirit, and ultimately, a Warrior victory.
From record-setting athletes and championship coaches to devoted supporters who haven’t missed a Friday night in over fifty years, this year’s class reflects the heart of what it means to be a Warrior: excellence, leadership, and an unshakable bond with the North Cobb community. With distinguished guests, alumni, and past honorees in attendance, the evening underscored the school’s proud legacy of achievement both on and off the field.
This year’s North Cobb inductees include:

She carried her competitive drive into the legal world, graduating magna cum laude from Georgia State College of Law and now practicing as an associate litigation attorney.

Jimi (Sprayberry, 1973) and Regina Richards (NCHS, 1973), known as the heartbeat of Warrior Nation, embody what it means to live and breathe North Cobb football. From a first date at a 1971 game to more than 500 Friday nights together in the stands, their story is inseparable from the team’s history.

His leadership has influenced schools across Georgia and Alabama, earning him national recognition.
Kristen Stoll Klinger (Class of 2009) built her reputation as a cornerstone of North Cobb softball. Her senior year, she was named First Team All-Region, honored as the Marietta Journal Athlete of the Week, and received the Atlanta Journal Sports Award Certificate of Merit.

Kristen's consistency and excellence made her one of the most decorated players in both programs’ histories.
Angela Ucci Urban (Class of 2003) was a committed member of the NCHS orchestra and the Beta Club, actively participating throughout all four years.
