Praying For #10: Northview Football Player Suffers Heart Attack
November 16, 2018
As the Northview Chiefs head into the second round of the state playoffs tonight, they have winning on their minds. But they are also thinking about teammate Dariontae Richardson who suffered a heart attack hours after the Chiefs’ win last Friday night.
Richardson made several key plays for the Chiefs in their win against Graceville. He was not injured in the game.
But by Saturday morning, the 16-year old was found at home not breathing. His mother performed CPR until an ambulance arrived. He was transported to Atmore Community Hospital and airlifted to a Mobile hospital where he is continuing to recover.
“Thank you all for your prayers. Dariontae is still making improvements. Please continue to keep him and his family in your prayers. #chiefstrong #prayforten #gochiefs,” the Northview Quarterback Club posted on their Facebook page.
“He has a long road ahead of him,” Northview Principal Gayle Weaver said during a School Advisory Council meeting. She said he is expected to remain in the hospital for several more days. “He is a really good guy, and we are all thinking about him.”
The Chiefs will honor Richardson Friday night as they take on the Gators in Baker.

Northview Opens Playoffs With Big 40-14 Win Over Graceville
November 10, 2018
The Northview Chiefs opened round one of the 1A playoffs Friday night in Bratt with a 40-14 win over the Graceville Tigers.
“They came to play; we are just really starting to play our best football and I think that was evident tonight,” Northview head coach Derek Marshman said. “I thought we ran the ball extremely well. Both of our tailbacks, Jaheem Durant and Trent Peebles, they just really ran their tail off. Jayden Jackson ran really hard. Aunterio Minor ran the ball really well and blocked hard. Jaquan Barton had his best game by far tonight. I mean he blocked his tail off all night.”

After a big gain down to the five by Minor, Peebles punched it in as the Chiefs opened the scoring. With 4:53 in the first, the Chiefs were up 6-0. Then a couple of minutes later, Northview’s Johnny Windham recovered a blocked Tigers punt at about the 10 yard line for another Chiefs touchdown 14-0.
The Tigers added a touchdown and two point conversion to end the first quarter with the score 14-8.
The Chiefs added touchdowns in the second from Durant and Barton to hold a 26-8 lead at the half on a damp, chilly and windy night at Tommy Weaver Memorial Stadium.
Jayden Jackson scored for Northview with 5:24 to go in the third. With a successful two point conversion from Peebles, The Chiefs were up 34-8. The Tigers managed their second touchdown of the night in the third.
Northview added two more touchdowns in the fourth to seal their 40-14 victory.
The Northview Chiefs will travel to No. 1 seed Baker next Friday night in the regional semifinals.
“It’s going to be tough. Our kids want it,” Marshman said. “They want that challenge. To be the best, you’ve got to beat the best.”
The winner of Northview and Baker will play the winner of Jay and Vernon on November 23.
