Comments on: Meet The Chiefs: Ready For The Season http://www.northescambia.com/2008/09/meet-the-chiefs-ready-for-the-season Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Thu, 23 Apr 2026 19:53:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: QB Club Member http://www.northescambia.com/2008/09/meet-the-chiefs-ready-for-the-season/comment-page-1#comment-1543 QB Club Member Wed, 10 Sep 2008 01:21:52 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=3819#comment-1543 In reviewing the comments concerning the Meet The Chiefs event, I am both disappointed and concerned. I am disappointed that adults have trouble honoring our programs even if it means swallowing a little pride, and I am concerned that these same adults blame the clubs or Coaches or administration, without stepping up and being apart of the solution instead of being part of the problem. The QB Club constantly is looking for volunteers to assist in the ongoing task of keeping our Chiefs as prepared as they can be each year. The issues that have arisen during my 3 years in the club, which started as the Booster Club and now has made the transition to QB Club, have all been issues concerning someones pride and individual needs over what was best for the program as a whole. That was why the issues were voted on and the vote reflected what was best for the program as a whole, all done while not blaming anyone. Did these issues warrant the seperation that has taken place by adult leadership? Certainly not. I wholheartedly agree that all the groups should communicate freely so that the school's spirit and pride is protected above all. Did they communicate properly this time or others? Maybe not. But lets not blame anyone, lets get involved, find out what we can do to help with these communication issues, work toward solutions, lets not continue to rehash the problems. As any of the Coaches will tell you, when you have a bad game, wheather you lost or won, its what you learn from those mistakes and what you do to get better that matters, not how much you blame your teammate or the conditions around you. Chiefs need Indians, and without Indians there will be no Chiefs. Think about it. In reviewing the comments concerning the Meet The Chiefs event, I am both disappointed and concerned.

Is it taken care of by the QB club or does NHS absorb that cost?

That is the bottom line! I am very concerned with this and other situations that come up at Northview. My children do not attend Northview, yet, and right now I am hesitant to send them there. And I can assure you that I am not the only one who feels this way. It is very evident from this and other events that happen at Northview, that there is little support from the administration.

No wonder there is no school spirit at Northview. I do happen to know that the band was not invited to attend the event. They also work very hard all week preparing to entertain the crowd on Friday night. They get very little recognition, so I am sure they would have loved to have been a part of "Meet the Chiefs". A great deal of Northview's problems stem from two very different communities and schools being put together. There is still a bitter taste in a lot of the parents' mouths because their hearts are still with their old alma maters. The students are the ones that suffer for that. There will never be a Century High School or an Ernest Ward High School again. The best thing we can do for our kids is to show our support and pride for THEIR school! All of the petty arguing and finger pointing over silly things is what brings morale down. Think about the actual games. There is very little, if any, crowd support. The band and the cheerleaders carry these games and they shouldn't have to do it alone. Keep that in mind next time and get over the "Meet the Chiefs". It's done, so move on. Wow!

Why can't the coaches come together and communicate? You want to know why the spirit is so low at Northview, and you want to know why people don't get up and cheer at ballgames, look at the spirit that is floating within the school. How many signs do you see up at the school, outside the school, on sides of the roads etc...? Instead of trying to find fault with each other, why not come together and stand back and look at what can we do to make Norhview better. Something has to change, coaches you are adults, work together, sometimes you have to give and take. The spirit of Northview is dead all the way around, start now to revive it!

I am a Varisty cheerleader at Northview and I, along with our sponsor and my fellow cheerleaders, know that we did not find out until the day before that "Meet The Chiefs" was going on. And just to answer "confused"s question, we put ALOT of hours into making the squad look fabulous on game nights. We, as "not confused" stated, are the ones cheering for the team whether they are winning or not. Thats what we do. We are hard-working cheerleaders that love our team. As far as the squad not showing up to "Meet The Chiefs", if the QB Club wanted us there to do our job, they should have told us at least a week in advance. It was a big miscommunication, and next year, we will hopefully be able to show up to support our Chiefs football players, AS WE DO EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT, even if the crowd isn't cheering with us.<br /> Thank you.</p> THANK YOU, “Not Confused”, for setting “confused” straight.

Sun, 07 Sep 2008 01:24:22 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=3819#comment-1475 The students at Northview were NOT aware of the Meet the Chiefs event until the day of. NO announcement was made at school and no one even talked about it until that morning. The cheerleaders and band members found out the day before and the majority of them had prior obligations and they were unable to attend. If they would have known about the event in advance, I am sure the all would have been there. These students work very hard and are the most dedicate FANS to the Northview football program. They are at every game, THEY are the ones cheering the boys on even though everyone in the crowd is sitting on their rumps. So, let's not talk about "School spirit" and showing "support" when the "FANS" don't even show their pride at football games.

There is NO way that the cheerleaders can say they didn't know about it, because ALL of the students at North View knew about the "Meet the Chiefs" event, especially those involved in sports activities. It sounds like they are just "miffed" that they weren't invited to be a part of the event until the day before. If that is the case then THAT shows lack of school spirit and school pride. In ANY event, as soon as the "Meet the Chiefs" event was planned, the cheerleading sponsor and the band director should have KNOWN that they would be participating. The FANS that showed up to show their support didn't get a FACE to FACE invitation!! GO CHIEFS!! I am confused…did they not come because they weren’t invited or because they didn’t know about it?
