Northview Falls To Pensacola Catholic
October 13, 2018
The Northview High School Chiefs played up in class and lost to Pensacola Catholic 41-22 Friday night.
The 1-A Chiefs were coming of a big 30-20 homecoming win last week over Jay, but fell behind early against the 3-A Crusaders. Catholic held a 21-0 advantage at the end of the first quarter, but were held scoreless by the Northview defense in the second quarter. The Chiefs battled back in the last half with 22 of their own — including touchdowns from Seth Killam and Jayden Jackson – in the second half, but they were outpaced by Catholic.
Northview (4-3, 1-0) will head east on Highway 4 next Friday night to face 1-A power Baker. The Gators aren’t just 7-0 on the season, the are riding a 27-game regular season winning streak. Baker’s game Friday night at Chipley was postponed because of Hurricane Michael and no electric power at Chipley.

The Northview Chiefs (4-2, 1-0) are facing their biggest challenges of the season the next two weeks. NHS will be at Pensacola Catholic next Friday night, then it’s a trip to Baker in a couple of weeks. Catholic is coming off a 48-3 loss Friday night to Madison County, while 1-A powerhouse Baker is riding a 27-game regular season winning streak.
For now, the Chiefs are not thinking about the Baker Gators; they are setting their sights on a “W’ against the Catholic Crusaders.
“Catholic is going to be a tough team. They have beaten a lot of schools that are bigger than they are. They are playing up in class every week, besides next week,” Marshman said. “It’s going to a be a big challenge for us. It’s always tough to play a bigger school like that with the kind of athletes they have, but we are going to be up for the challenge.”
