Final Day To Submit Name Ideas For Northview Stadium
October 7, 2013
Northview High School is considering naming their football stadium, possibly in memory of late teacher and coach Tommy Weaver. And today is the final day for the public to offer their input.
The school received an official request to name the stadium for Weaver, which set the naming process in motion. For a 30 day period, the school has accepted suggestions from the community for potential stadium names. Any name change would then be considered by the Escambia County School Board.
Suggestions must be submitted by the end of the school day today by email to bjohnson3@escambia.k12.fl.us.
Weaver was a longtime DCT and Ag instructor and assistant coach who passed away suddenly at the age of 61 in March 2012. The Chiefs’ entire 2012 state championship football season was dedicated to Weaver.
