Gulf Breeze Downs Northview
September 29, 2012
The 1A Northview Chiefs were outsized, outnumbered and outscored Friday night as they took on the 5A Gulf Breeze Dolphins. The Dolphins defeated the Chiefs 44-20 in Gulf Breeze, but Northview head coach Sid Wheatley said his Chiefs were never really outdone.
“I appreciate the way our kids fought; they fought to the end. They were a good football team tonight.” he said.
In the end, the outright advantages for the Dolphins proved to be just a little too much for the Chiefs.
“They controlled the line of scrimmage. They are big, and they are physical too. We knew they were, and we knew that we had our hands full,” he said.

The Northview Chiefs, ranked number one in the state in 1A, were the first to score with 10:11 on the clock in the first quarter. Stetson Nash returned an interception 40 yards and Kevin Vaughan split the uprights on the kick for a 7-0 lead for the Chiefs.
Gulf Breeze then scored in the first with a 10-yard run from Chandler Foxworth and a good kick, 7-7 headed into the second quarter.
The Dolphins increased their advantage to 21-7, but the Chiefs were not done in the first half. Northview made it 21-14 Gulf Breeze on a one yard touchdown from Roderick Woods and a good Vaughan kick headed into halftime.
Woods added a one-yard touchdown in the third. A missed kick from Vaughan left the Chiefs down by one, 21-20.
But the Dolphins found their momentum, cruising to a 44-20 win with touchdowns of 63 and 11 yards, a quarterback sack in the end zone and a recovered fumble in the end zone.
“I thought we fought; I don’t think we packed it in at all. We went 21-14 at half time and we nearly tied in the third quarter,” Wheatley said. “They got their momentum back, and we were not able to answer from there.”
The Northview Chiefs (2-2) will play their first district game of the season next Friday night as they host the Jay Royals.

Northview Chiefs Sink South Walton’s Seahawks 34-7 (With Photo Gallery)
September 22, 2012
The Northview Chiefs beat the South Walton Seahawks 34-7 Friday night in Bratt.
Northview took the lead with 8:21 on the clock in the first with a 67-yard punt return for a touchdown from junior Neino Robinson, 6-0 Chiefs. Northview struck again in the second with a touchdown and a good two point conversion from Brannon Freeman, 14-0.
In the third, quarterback Kevin Vaughan completed a 20-yard touchdown pass in the end zone to Cameron Newsome, 21-0. Vaughan was back at the QB spot for the first time Friday night since breaking his wrist on his throwing arm.
Vaughan, a senior, threw for 184 yards and two touchdowns for NHS.
With 1:07 to go in the third quarter of play, Robinson scored again on a 10 yard pass from Vaughan. A missed kick, and Northview increase their advantage to 27-0.
South Walton scored their lone touchdown with 5:11 to go in the game, 27-7. Northview answered with a 40-yard run Freeman TD with 2:59 to play, 34-7.
Robinson totaled 86 yards on eight carries on the night. Defensively, Chad Smith had a couple of interceptions for the Chiefs.

Even with the win, Northview Head Coach Sid Wheatley said there is room for improvement from his Chiefs, currently ranked No. 4 in the state in Class 1A.
“It’s always good to get wins, and we are proud of that win,” he said. “But I think we are smart enough to know that we have to play at a higher level, and we’ve got to get a lot better during the course of practice next week.”
“It just looked like we never had any cohesiveness offensively,” Wheatley said. “We were not executing like we needed to…just little things that add up during the course of a game that kind of take you off what you are trying to do, what you are trying to establish.”
“I think our defense overall played better. We gave up a couple of passes…but I thought we played a little harder on that side,” he said.
The Northview Chiefs will travel to Gulf Breeze next Friday night to take on the 5A Gulf Breeze Dolphins.
It will be the first regular season game of the year for Penn State recruit Neiko Robinson after the Florida High School Sports Association reduced his suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct from six games to four. [Read more...]
