UWF Takes Down #16 Florida Tech In Inaugural Coastal Classic

October 2, 2016

The UWF football team scored 21 unanswered points and held of a late rally to upset No. 16/19 Florida Tech, 42-39, before a sold-out crowd of 6,588 at Blue Wahoos Stadium Saturday.

UWF (3-2, 1-1 Gulf South Conference) collected 458 yards of total offense and 360 through the air in claiming the inaugural Coastal Classic, which pitted the only Division II football programs in the state of Florida.

The Argonauts scored 21 points in each half against the Panthers, who entered the game ranked second in the country, yielding just 8.8 points per game. Additionally, UWF collected three red zone scores against an FIT group that had allowed just three successful efforts all season.

Kaleb Nobles was 23-of-42 with a 74-yard touchdown pass to Caleb Robinson. Nobles also ran for a score for the second-consecutive week. Grey Jackson was 1-for-4 and completed a 65-yard scoring strike to Ishmel Morrow in the second quarter that gave the Argonauts the lead for good.

Morrow finished with 129 yards on seven catches. It was his third-straight 100-plus yard game. Anas Hasic added 60 yards on three receptions.

Florida Tech (4-1, 2-1) grabbed the early 7-0 lead when Trevor Sand scored from seven yards out just over three minutes into game. The short field came about after UWF fumbled at its own 35-yard line on its first play from scrimmage.

Jemari Ford tied the game on UWF’s next possession with a 2-yard rush. The Argonauts went up 14-7 on the long Jackson-to-Morrow play, before taking a 21-7 lead into the locker room following Leroy Taylor’s 17-yard interception return for a touchdown.

Coming out of the intermission, the Panthers trimmed the margin to 21-17 with a field goal and 12-yard scoring pass. The teams traded scores before UWF made it a 2-possession game on the Nobles-to-Robinson connection.

FIT wouldn’t go away, scoring twice in a span of 1:48 before UWF held off a late push to midfield to claim its first-ever win over a ranked opponent.

UWF will hit the road next week when it faces Mississippi College on Saturday, Oct. 8 in Clinton, Miss. Kickoff at Robinson-Hale Stadium is set for 2:00 p.m.

Northview Forfeits At Maplesville In 3rd: ‘It Was No Longer A Game’

October 1, 2016

The Northview Chiefs walked out in the third quarter and forfeited their game Friday night against Maplesville, AL, giving the Red Devils a 21-0 win.

“At that point, it was no longer a game,” said Northview Principal Gayle Weaver, who made the decision to end the game. “I’m sorry it happened, but it was no longer a safe environment.”

The Maplesville Red Devils are the defending Alabama 1A state champions and were 4-0 headed into Friday night’s game, outscoring opponents 211-14 this season.

Friday night, the Red Devils were only up 6-0 headed into halftime against the Northview Chiefs. They had increased their lead to 21-0 by the third quarter, when the game came to halt with 1:40 to go in the third.

Northview Head Coach Derek Marshman was ejected after his second unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, prompting Weaver to enter the field and announce that her Chiefs were heading back to Florida.

“The officiating got out of hand,” she said. “They were trash talking, and they were not officiating. They were not providing a safe environment and it was a danger to our team, everyone on the sidelines and our fans. Someone could have been hurt badly.”

Weaver said Marshman was attempting to get an explanation for a penalty flag when he was ejected. Weaver said the head referee would not provide any explanation or talk to anyone from Northview. She said the game was the final game in a two-game contract between the two schools, a contract that will not be renewed.

Marshman had little say about the forfeiture following the game, instead choosing to focus on the positive efforts of his team and look ahead to next week.

“I apologize for my actions, but not the act. I am going to defend my players,” was his only comment about the situation.

Marshman praised his team for holding the number one 1A team in Alabama to just six points in the first quarter. “It was a whole team effort; they fought hard,” he said.

Next week, the Chiefs continue a three week road series against Liberty County

“They are a tough team, a 1A powerhouse,” Marshman said. “They have a good athletes; we are going to need to be prepared to get physical and run the ball.”
