The Chiefs punting team went in, but Jackson took the ball up the middle.
The referees ruled the run short. Northview Head Coach Cody Keene called for a measurement, which he did not get. He called a timeout and called for a measurement again, but the referees refused his request to measure what was obviously within inches of being a first down.
The first half ended with the Yellow Jackets in possession. The score at the half: 14-6 Vernon.

With 2:11 left in the game, a Northview fumble was returned 80 yards by Verson for another TD. Their two point attempt was good, expanding the Vernon lead to 29-12.
Verson ran out most of the remaining time on the clock with their quarterback dropping to the knee for all four of their next downs. Northview got control of the ball for the last time with just 11 seconds on the clock.
Northview’s homecoming hopes ended with a 29-12 loss to Veron.
“I’m disappointed. I hate it for our kids. Hats off to Vernon; they did a better job than we did,” Head Coach Cody Keene said after the game. “They had a little better speed and tackling in the first half.”
“We’re a young football team. Got to keep working,” Keene said. “We have just got to get better.”
Northview is now 2-5, 1-2 in their district.
The Chiefs will be on the road Halloween night against Marianna.
