Northview Falls To Choctaw
September 27, 2014
The 1A Northview Chiefs stepped up multiple classes Friday night to take on the Class 6A Choctaw Indians on the road. And the Chiefs lost again this year by the same 35 point margin as last year.
The Indians topped the Chiefs 42-7 in Fort Walton Beach Friday night after shutting them out 35-0 last year in Bratt.
Choctaw took a 13-0 lead in the first quarter. Early in second, Northview quarterback Gavin Grant found Nick Lambert for a 54-yard touchdown to make it 13-7. The Northview defense held the Indians scoreless in the second. After an 80-yard drive from their own nine-yard line, the Chiefs’ Chasen Freeman attempted but missed a 28-yard field goal with less than two seconds in the half.
The Indians scored an unanswered 29 points in the second half for the win. Choctaw held Northview to 183 yards, 81 rushing, on the night.
Northview, ranked third in Class 1A, was 3-0 headed into Friday night’s contest. Now 3-1, the Chiefs (3-1) will be back in Bratt next Friday night for Homecoming as they host the Jay Royals (2-2) in the district opener for both teams. Jay is coming off a 54-14 win Friday night over a visiting McIntosh, AL, team.

Tommy Weaver Memorial Stadium To Be Dedicated At Northview Oct. 2
September 24, 2014
The football stadium at Northview High School will be formally dedicated as the Tommy Weaver Memorial Stadium during a special ceremony at 6 p.m. on October 2. The dedication will include the unveiling of a Tommy Weaver Memorial Stadium sign and a Chief statue with plaques donated by the Northview classes of 2013 and 2014.
The Escambia County School Board voted in May to rename the stadium.
Tommy Weaver was a longtime DCT and Ag instructor and assistant coach who passed away suddenly at the age of 61 in March 2012. The Chiefs’ entire 2012 state championship football season was dedicated to Weaver.
The public is invited to attend the dedication ceremony.

FWC: Floridians Hunting Deer Out Of State Need To Know CWD Laws
September 22, 2014
Florida hunters planning to hunt deer, moose or elk out of state this year need to be aware of certain laws and regulations aimed at preventing chronic wasting disease (CWD) from entering the state, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
CWD is a contagious neurological disease that has been found in captive and wild cervids (white-tailed deer, mule deer, moose and elk) within 22 states, two Canadian provinces and in South Korea. The disease causes degeneration of the brains of infected animals, resulting in emaciation, abnormal behavior, loss of bodily functions and death. There is no known evidence that CWD can be transmitted to livestock or humans.
The disease has been detected in New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan, Virginia, Missouri, North Dakota, Maryland, Texas, Alberta and Saskatchewan Canadian provinces, and in South Korea.
Hunters need to know that it is against the law to bring into Florida whole carcasses of any deer from any of the above-listed areas. The purpose of this measure is to prevent CWD from being brought into the state. The infective agent is more likely to be concentrated within the brain, eyes, spinal cord, lymph nodes, tonsils and spleen of the animal. This infective agent, called a prion, can be accidentally deposited into the environment, where it can remain for years and can infect other deer. Many states have a prohibition in place that is similar to Florida’s.
It is not illegal to bring into Florida deboned meat and finished taxidermy mounts, tanned hides, cleaned skulls, antlers and teeth from any of these places, as long as all soft tissue has been removed.

One their first offensive possession, junior Reginald Payne scored on a 42-yard touchdown pass from Aggies quarterback Sawyer Smith.

After a Kea punt return, sophomore quarterback Jake Henry ended Tate’s drive with a 1-yard TD run for a 31-0 advantage.
Tate scored again with an 18-yard touchdown run from Jesse Fernandez and a 1-yard TD from LaDarius Thomas to move ahead 45-0.
A Panther fumble was recovered by Tate’s Trace Penton who broke a dozen or so tackles for another score, 52-0. West Gadsden managed a 45-yard field goal at the end of the half, 52-3.
