Northview Beats Bozeman 22-19 For District Win
September 26, 2009
The Northview Chiefs hit the road to Panama City Friday night, coming back home with a 22-19 win over Deane Bozeman High School.
The Bozeman Bucks recovered a Northview fumble at about their 20 in the first quarter and ran it back to the 10. A couple of plays later, Bozeman was in for the first touchdown of the night. With a missed point after, Bozeman was up 6-0.
But the Chiefs were about to take the lead, and keep it, for the rest of the game — even though they were not in control of the ball most of the second half.
The Chiefs answered with a Jeremy Jackson touchdown run with 4:01 in the first quarter of play. The Chiefs missed the point after attempt, making it a 6-6 tie ballgame in Bay County.
Bozeman scored on a 55-yard run from their own 45 just before the end of the first quarter to make it 13-6 headed into the second quarter of play.
Then in the second quarter, the Chiefs blocked a Bozeman punt at the Bucks 15 yard line. Northview recovered deep in the end zone for a safety, but the Chiefs still trailed 16-13.
Northview exploded in the third quarter, with Chris Sheets intercepting a Bozeman pass at 10. Sheets returned the interception for a huge 90-yard touchdown. A no good extra point, and the Northview Chiefs were up 22-13 with 3:45 to go in the third.
Bozeman managed to score and miss a kick for a score of 22-19.
And that’s where it ended, with both teams held scoreless during the end of a fourth quarter defensive battle.
Freshman La’Mikal Kyles had 45 yards for Northview on a half dozen carries, and senior Shakel Holmes had 45 yards on eight carries.
With their 22-19 win over Bozeman, the Chiefs improved to 2-1, 1-1 in Class 2A District 1.
The Chiefs will celebrate Homecoming next Friday night against the Baker Gators.

Changes To Deer Season? Fish And Wildlife Seeks Hunter Input
September 24, 2009
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) wants to hear from hunters around the state regarding when they think the white-tailed deer rut happens in their neck of the woods.
The FWC, along with its deer management stakeholder group, is considering making possible changes to Florida’s deer hunting zones and corresponding season dates. The first goal of the “Strategic Plan for Deer Management in Florida 2008-2018″ is to manage deer at a more local level and better align hunting season dates with peak rutting (breeding) activity.
The FWC has deer-breeding information from many counties and several of its wildlife management areas, but there are gaps in the biological data. The deer management stakeholder group would like to obtain rut information from hunters to try and close gaps in the data.
The agency recognizes the value of local knowledge and is asking hunters who are familiar with when the deer rut historically occurs in the areas where they hunt to fill out an online survey. The FWC would like to take this information to compare hunters’ perceptions of the rut with scientifically known conception data.
During rutting periods, bucks are more active during daylight (shooting) hours and often less cautious, making the chances of seeing them in the field better.
“Deer hunters want to hunt during the rut, and we want to be able to share comprehensive information about when the rut occurs with the hunting public,” FWC biologist and deer team coordinator Cory Morea said. “We realize a lot of hunters know when the rut happens in their area, and we want to take this information and compare it with our conception data to see if they are similar. It would be great to be able to use any new data to help fill in the holes in what we already know.
“At the very least, we think there is value in knowing what hunters perceive as the peak of the rut where they hunt,” Morea said.
