Head coach Nick Bach looks to lead an immensely talented Pace Academy team to heights not seen in nearly a decade. The Knights have a handful of high-end recruits on the roster. At wide receiver, this includes senior Cooper Williams, who recently received his first offer from UMass. On the offensive line, senior offensive tackle Miles Glover recently committed to William and Mary. In addition to the two seniors, sophomore offensive tackle Tim Harvey has five Division I offers from schools such as Memphis and Temple, and sophomore edge rusher Justin Weeks already has three Power 4 offers from Georgia Tech, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
Pace Academy is currently on a 10-season playoff streak but will look to host and win its first playoff game since winning the Class 2A state championship in 2015. The team will be joining a new region that is very favorable for the Knights. They will kick off region play with one of the toughest tests of their season against perennial playoff team Mays. The Knights will then face M.L. King and Drew before facing the toughest test of region play, a game against 2023 5A runner-up Creekside. Pace will then face off against a Midtown team that is coming off two -straight .500 seasons. The Knights will then play a game against Forest Park and finish the season against perennial playoff team, Maynard Jackson, who has made the playoffs in eight of the last 10 years in a game that may have major playoff implications.
