The Chiefs’ defense held the W.S. Neal Eagles at Bay during the first quarter. Then a Tanner Brooks interception fired up the Chiefs who gained a first down on a Jacob Gibson carry. Northview then fumbled the ball, but recovered. A flag on Neal brought the Chiefs within scoring range, but the Chiefs fumbled the ball away to Neal.
Neal was headed toward pay dirt when Brooks intercepted another Neal pass in the second. Neither team made the goal line in the first half, making it 0-0 heading into the locker room.
Jamie Gafford gained some ground with a kick return in the second, followed by a first down run from Reid Bell, but Northview was unable to continue the drive.
Then it was a game of flip-flop, with Northview recovering a Neal fumble. Then Neal recovered a Northview fumble.On a Neal drive, a NHS face mask penalty for 15 yards allowed Neal to gain a good scoring position. A touchdown with 6:46 to go in the third followed by two point conversion put Neal ahead 8-0.
NHS answered with a good drive , but Neal intercepted a pass. Neal scored again with 3:05 remaining in the game , making the score 16-0. A Chiefs’ pass was intercepted once more with just 1:54 on the clock, allowing the final Neal TD for the 22-0 final.
