NK's topped Coventry 33-6 in the first game of the 2012 season.
La Salle remains at the top of the Rhode Island High School Football Media Poll, although their margin has narrowed to just two points over Bishop Hendricken thanks to an increased electorate. After just nine ballots were cast for the preseason poll, the ranks have swollen to 13 voters for week two. As a result, La Salle’s point margin for first has shrunk from nine points to just two. The No. 3 team, Portsmouth, remains the same. After that, well, the first week of league and non-league games sure has made a mess of the poll. Expect a lot of turbulence in the next few weeks though, before things settle down after five games or so. The Skippers picked up 13 points in the poll, rebounding from an Injury Fund exhibition loss to East …

Joe Gilmartin – a former NKHS student, football player and assistant coach – is returning to the field as head coach and looks to turn the program around.
There’s a different voice barking out orders on the football fields of North Kingstown High School this season. He may be the new head coach this year, but Joe Gilmartin is no stranger to NKHS’ football program. A 1982 graduate of NKHS (who also played on the school's football team), Gilmartin served as an assistant coach in the 1983 and 1984 under Joe Mancini, then again from 1985 to 1992 under Keith Kenyon. He returned to assist Kenyon in 1995 and 1996 after a stint as the head coach of the Bishop Feehan High School’s football team in Attleboro. Now a teacher at the high school, Gilmartin has had a first row view of the school’s football program decline in the past few years. When former coach John Horsman was let go after his third …
