At a glance

2023, 2024 and 2025 are separate archive seasons.
Historical rosters retain their season labels.

Recent seasons in the record

MaxPreps lists Gretna at 9–3 in 2023, 9–4 in 2024 and 10–3 in 2025, with Cole Simpson identified as head coach for those seasons. The listed league records are 6–0, 5–1 and 5–1 respectively.

Together, those pages provide a starting point for a season-by-season Hawks archive.

Remembering the 2025 roster

The published 2025–26 roster includes Rayshaun Logan, Keyshaun Witcher, Jayden Smith, Tymere Lewis, Khalil Waller, Amarii Phelps and Will Mattox among its senior players. The roster is a dated source, so these names should remain attached to that season rather than automatically being carried into 2026.

Building a fuller record

A useful archive can connect each season to individual games, public awards and authorized team photographs. A family memory can add meaning, but dates, scores and name spellings should remain traceable to their original records.
