Name The Northview Mascot; Order T-shirts; Pep Rally For Thursday

November 29, 2011

The Northview Chiefs will hold a community pep rally Thursday night, and the Chiefs are also looking for an official name for the school’s mascot.

Ashton Gibbs has served as the school’s mascot this year; however, the mascot character has never been given an official name. Name suggestions should be sent to TJohnson5@escambia.k12.fl.us. The name will be announced as early as Thursday or Friday.

Northview High School is selling t-shirts in advance of the pep rally. The shirts will feature a team photo of the Northview Chiefs. Shirts can be pre-ordered by Wednesday for $10.70 by calling Teresa Johnson at (850) 327-6681 ext. 225.

The pep rally will take place from 6-6:30  p.m. Thursday in the school gym featuring the cheerleaders, dance team, mascot, band, color guard, majorettes and the 2011 Northview varsity Chiefs.  Prior to the pep rally, varsity players will sign 2011 Northview Chiefs t-shirts. Those that purchased a t-shirt on  may pick up the shirt and have it signed between 5-5:30 p.m. in the gym.

Noise makers are encouraged at both the pep rally and Friday night’s semifinal game against Chipley. Air horns and glass containers are not permitted.

Pre-sale tickets will be available Thursday and Friday from 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. at the school. All tickets are $9 as set by the FHSAA.

    Of all the indian heritage around here, there should be a good Chief name to use. Masculine of course :)

    As much as I love calling our mascot Sacagawea, (Ashton has done a great job this year), I think that it should have a more masculine name since it is a Chief! Geronimo comes to mind! He was a fierce warrior just like our Chiefs!!!!!

    I don’t know if it’s an “official ” name or not, but I’ve heard a lot of people call the mascot Sacagawea for a while now. & people will probably just keep calling it that even if it changes.
