Chiefs Destroy Jay In 1-1A District Opener (With Gallery)
October 6, 2012
The Northview Chiefs destroyed the Jay Royals 62-14 in the 1-1A district opener for both schools.
“I thought it was big that we were able to get a touchdown right before the half knowing that we would get the football first in the second half,” Northview head coach Sid Wheatley said. “And then the momentum was clearly in our favor.”

The Royals opened the scoring Friday night in Bratt with a 39-yard touchdown pass from Tate Upton to Hunter Dillashaw, 7-0 Royals. Northview tied it up with a four-yard touchdown dash from senior LaMikal Kyles, 7-7 headed into quarter two.
With 5:43 to go in the second quarter, Upton found Ashten Dennington with a 35-yard touchdown pass, 14-7 Royals. That was it on scoring from Jay, but the Chiefs were just getting the party started.
Neino Robinson returned the TD kickoff 60-yards, and with a good kick, the game was tied 14-14.
With 3:55 in the second, Kyles was in again with a 44-yard touchdown, 21-14. But that was not good enough for Kyles, who hit the end zone again from one yard out with 32 seconds in the half, 28-14 Northview.
By the third quarter, the Chiefs were on fire. Sophomore Ladarius Thomas scored on a two-yard run with 10:36 on the clock, 35-14. Northview’ Chad Smith recovered a quick off fumble by Jay’s Ricky Cofield setting up another Northview touchdown just 20 seconds later. Kevin Vaughn hit Neino Robinson with a 30-yard TD pass, 49-14.
With the mercy rule, the game went to a running clock, and the Chiefs, ranked fifth in the state, switched mostly to reserves.
Just to round out the third quarter, junior Daulton Tullis completed a 23-yard touchdown pass to Jaron Myles, 56-14 to end the third quarter.
In the fourth quarter, Thomas rounded out the scoring on a 31-yard touchdown run, 62-14 Chiefs.
“I thought the defense, particularly after the first two touchdowns, played extremely well,” Wheatley said. “And the offense — anytime they put up 62 points with reserves in as well, that’s good.”
The Chiefs (4-2, 1-0) are off next Friday night before traveling to district opponent Freeport on October 19. Freeport defeated Baker 41-34 Friday night, putting the Chiefs and Freeport in the district lead.
“Freeport is always very well coached,” Wheatley said. “Those guys play extremely hard. Some of them play 48 minutes without taking a single play off. We have to go there, and we know it’s always a tough place to win over there. So we’ve got to really prepare and use those two weeks to our benefit.”
The Royals will host Cottondale next Friday night for homecoming.
