If not every player is meant to play then why have them practice or even why have a team of 40 plus players…lets just have a team of fifteen…or wait Northview already has that covered. No one here is coaching from the stands. Ive coached ball and never had any coplaints of kids not playing enough…so if i can do it so can they. If your starters are missing tackles and blocks left and right let their replacements do the same theres no difference in it. Haha yeah the best will play…well thats true when the second string knows how to run the scout team offensive plays better than the true playbook. Yall just dont have any clue…Maybe the second and third string should just stop doing summer workouts and attending all the practices…thats what A COUPLE of the starters do. And to WOW fatique is when players get hurt im just throwing that out there.

I feel for the parent of the player that never plays. We
All think our kids are good enough to step out on the field. Truth is they did in daddy ball those days are gone. The best of the best will play the others will support them and be part of a team. Not every player is meant to play for there safety and for. The sake. Of the game they watch. So don’t be coaching from the seat.

My son does work out hard. My son does go to every practice. So do some other boys I know. They give it all they have. They seldom play.
If they are 2nd or 3rd string – that is expected. What should not happen but does happen, is the 1st string making mistakes over and over again, even after half time and yet they continue to play. By then, not only are their bodies tired and needing a break but in their minds they are beating themselves up for the errors. They need to be pulled, given a rest and a talk to let them focus again and get back in the game with power. That is why you have 2nd and 3rd string. To not use them is a waste of talent and ability for the WHOLE TEAM. It becomes a “starter game” and not a NHS game. You don’t just wait for an injury to put in your 2nd or 3rd line.

I’m tired of hearing everybody whining about kids not playing nd not dressing out. The Coach puts the best players on the field. If its your son that isn’t playing well then tell them to work hard in the weight room nd on their game nd eventually they will see the field.

These players performed good last night, and though there were some mistakes, we must learn from them. Yes, we are a 1A school, and yes, we played a 5A school; that is always going to be a problem. 5A schools have a wider range of people to pick from for their teams, where Northview takes what we have, and molds those players into the best they can be. There is always room for improvement, however.
As for the cheerleaders, you all did good, as always. To the dancers, you all performed wonderful. However, I am a fan of the band, and I really wanted to see them last night, during halftime (where they are supposed to perform). A minute and a half is not enough time for them to properly perform. That should have been taken into consideration when you all started to go out with 5 minutes left on the clock. Try for a pre-game show, for people who are waiting for the game to start.
And to the bands, both Northview’s and Gulf Breezes, thank you. I believe that the Soundwave band showed great class last night, staying to watch the Tribal Beat perform. Thank you.

Great job on the website William!! I live in Gulf Breeze and as far as us having the biggest and the best,, our running back is 5′6″ 137 pounds. That ain’t big people. Gulf Breeze has never been known as a football school and has had to bust their butts to get where they are now. I think they won 3 games in the past 2 seasons. So maybe congratulations is in order instead of excuses. We all have to play schools that are larger than our own, thats just the way it is, it doesn’t count again your conference win/loss totals and can only make you better. Suck it up and play the game.

@ From Where I Sit,
Well put…glad im not the only one seeing four to five players coming off the field when the ball changes sides…Come on from when I last counted there was 44 plus players dressed out and you sit there and watch the quaterback playing saftey the fullback playing nose and others going both ways while the other boys dont even need their game jerseys or pants washed due to no playing time.
@ Big D
Clearly you didnt see Northviews lack of class agaist South Walton, who is so far winless this season, as we continued pounding them with our first string boys even though the score was 40+ to 0 before halftime…AND STILL the other boys didnt go in until 5 min left in the game and they played one offensive series.
@ Everyone talking about playing teams in the higher classifications
There’s only 22 players on the field at any given time, play hard nosed football and stop worring if they are a 5-A or if we are ranked # 1, 2 ,3 or 4 in the state. All the rankings do is put a target on your back for some underdog team to stomp a mudhole in ya like what Jay is gonna try and do next week.

a 5A school vs. a 1A school is not really a fair match up but its not impossible for Northview to have one, but it was a shame that the Gulf Breeze band had to ask Northview’s band why they didnt play in the half time show…Hope next home game to see the band on the field during the correct time.

all the kids did their best last night. nothing being perfect, but that is life. as long as these kids keep trying, they’ve got the idea. 5a vs 1a is not really a fair match, but a good experience. like that the cheerleaders continued to use different ways to get the crowd stirred up. rotc again did a nice job with presentation of colors. the band did great. It was nice of the Gulf Breeze band to stay & watch the performance after the game since their over use of time caused our band not to be able to do their half time show. I wouldn’t call it classy to use 2/3 of the available show time when one is the visiting team.
