Keith – I appreciate your post and totally understand where you are coming from on the issues. Your Northview team played their hearts out and as you said, for 2 1/2 quarters gave Trinity all it wanted or could handle. As a private school that is actually smaller than Northview, we do have the advantage of a larger geographical region from which to draw students. As a member of the FHSAA we, like every other member, are not allowed to recruit athletes, but we do have the advantage of not being bound by geographical boundaries as it pertains to where our students originate It is an advantage that the new FHSAAA rural classification will see to somehow address. In any case, the Northview chiefs had a great season and your entire community should be very proud of them. The whole team played hard, but in particular #25, #4 and #8 were special and very dangerous. God bless you and your team. You guys have a great season next year !

TCA fans, parents, whatever you are. After reading the comments in a local paper of a local Coach speaking what I deemed as discouragement to our team concerning their game Vs Trinity ,And after watching our local TV sports program refering to the 3rd round as being the place that our playoff run would stop, I researched your school before the game. And I determined that your team was not as intimidating as you appeared and shared my post for the Northview community on Northescambia.com. It was an attempt to encourage our football team not to be intimidated at all by the talk that they were going to be destroyed by your private school. I am an encourager and I take offense to people speaking discouragement in any situation. I never predicted the out come of the game, only that our boys would successfully stand toe to toe with your team. And for 2 1/2 quarters that is exactly what they did until simple mistakes took their toll. And any negative comments made against your school by myself before the game was in response to the wonderful Trinity fan posting on Northescambia that our season was about to end. Sure it would have been proper for me to just ignore the individual but I am human and sometimes I struggle myself to just be the bigger person. And dont waste your time making excuses for your fans, they were chanting “Orlando” in an effort to smear our loss in our faces. In the 5 years I have been associated with Northview Football, I have never been to a game where our fans treated any other team like that. As a matter of fact I have been associated with high school football in the Pensacola area for the past 25 years and have never seen any school in this area attempt to antagonize another school in that way which is why I took such a quick offense to what I saw and heard.

And lets talk about Trinity Security supposedly unlocking a door to a building in order that a player could step inside and get his belongings. All I will permit myself to say any further concerning this subject is LOL!!! You stated what you have heard, I have stated what I saw!!!!

And it is with a heart felt apology that I tell Trinity Christian School I’m sorry for taking a shot at your Christian Atmosphere. The Lord has delt with me on this subject and enlightened me to the fact that your Christianity is not for me to judge .I do owe and am giving a public apology for expressing frustration in such a tasteless manner.

God Bless You All And Have A Safe Trip To Orlando!!

Keith – the denied access was either to the building or just the locked room where the Northview Teams gear was being held. Not sure.

Keith – the kids from Trinity were shouting ORLANDO ! because they were excited to be off from classes this Friday to attend a State Championship Game. That’s part of it and probably occured at every high school game Friday. There was no disrespect meant by any means. I really can’t believe you or anyone else would take it that way. The guy with the bullhorn is irritating for sure, but he doesn’t represent the 2500 other Trinity fans who were at the game who are not “classless or arrogant” as you called all of us. As far as the security issue you are referring to, there are very different accounts of the incident. From what we heard, the incident started with a Northview player being ejected from the game and then heading to a locked school building where the Northview team was housed. Trinity security would have obviously been there, because the only way to get into the building would be for the Trinity security personnel to unlock the building. The player was denied access to the building based upon his treatment (verbal and non-verbal) of the security personnel. When the security returned to the building shortly after the incident, at least one window at been broken and the Trinity security summoned the Jacksonville Police Department. The incident will be investigated for sure.
Keith – I reviewed all of your posts about this game and it seems you were anti-Trinity before you ever arrived. It’s really too bad – other Northview fans like the ones I spoke with before and after the game really enjoyed the experience of final four high school football …

TCA Parent,
I am not bitter because we lost.I was over that before I left your parking lot. It was the disrespect that your fans showed us by chanting ORLANDO repeatedly at the end of the game and the loud mouth on the mega phone, not to mention your so called security that I hope I have a chance to testify against regarding what I saw unfold. Maybe your school should do a better job at guarding your own reputation.

And Bob, I didnt lose my cool until I watched thru my camcorder lens as your so called security dirt bags followed one of our players across the parking lot and into the locker room while he was all alone and ruffed him up and then disappeared like the Cowards that they are. And then lied to the cops and claimed they were never in the locker room. I hope his parents get a lawyer! Myself and another witness would love to share what we saw!

Your team had a great season. Congratulations. However, some of you obviously have some bitterness in your loss. Maybe because you’ve never been there, this is your first time and you don’t really know how things go. That’s a real shame. You don’t need to slam a good school that you really know nothing about. You lost. Move on. We lost last year to American Heritage in the state championship game but I didn’t hear one parent blast that school. They beat us. We took that loss and moved on and will now meet them next week again. You should be ashamed of yourselves Al and Keith. Grow up and be men. Better luck next year.
