The Eagles were one game away from the state championship, only to lose to Olathe South at sub-state. The 2007 version of the Eagles was led by a strong senior class, including John Chmiel, and quarterback Jake Catloth. The 2009 Eagles won the 6A state championship on Saturday, November 28, 2009, vs. Wichita Heights. November 27, 2010, Olathe North played Wichita Heights at State losing.

For his first year head coaching, in 2015, he led the Eagles to one game away from state, but they fell to the Blue Valley High School, going 10-2 for the season.[ citation needed ]
