Football Pundit ‘Chief Nostradamus’ Weighs In On Tonight’s Football Games
October 25, 2013
Here’s a just for fun look at Friday night’s Florida high school football games with NorthEscambia.com’s football pundit Chief Nostradamus, “The Cow Pasture Prophet”, a Northview fan with a passion for all things Chiefs —
Well football fans as the regular football season wanes, the time has arrived for a contemplative gaze across ye ol’ cow pasture in an effort to garner a few upcoming game predictions. After a long sunny Thursday, there promises to be a fabulous Friday for football games all around the area. With this remarkable fall weather we’ve been experiencing over the past few days, the pasture prognosticates these game outcomes:
Northview is traveling east today to play the class 4A Walton Braves in a non-district match-up. The Chiefs have improved over some early season miscues, so tonight’s game should be a good one. The organic fertilizer mounds impart a Chiefs win in a close one… 26-21.
Across the way just north of Milligan, an inept Franklin County team travels to play an undefeated Baker Gators team, that won’t break a sweat while pouring on the points. Baker should enjoy this win for the moment. However, the play will ratchet up a notch come November 1st. More on that next week.
Jay started off with a flash with a quick 3-0 record against a day care excursion. But that early flicker of hopeful light has since dimmed and turned into a proverbial flash ‘n the pan over the last four games. Tonight, Cottondale will extinguish the fleeting twinkle with a fifth consecutive loss for the Royals.
In other Florida games of interest to North Escambia fans:
–Freeport loses big to South Walton – Expect SW to be the District 3 Runner-up
–Ft Walton loses to Tate
–Pine Forest loses to Milton
–Pensacola loses to Washington in the battle for last place in their district
–Arnold loses to West Florida. The set up for a district title game between Catholic and WF
–Gulf Breeze loses to Catholic
–Pace loses to Escambia in a close one
That’s about it for this week, Chiefs Fans. Get in your cars (or trucks for y’all Bratt folks) and hit the road for Walton tonight to cheer on your Northview football team. And don’t forget to honk you horns as you drive back through Baker Friday night on your way home from the game!
