Believe: Northview Chiefs Plant Their Flag With Emotional 28-14 Win Over Flomaton (With Gallery)
November 1, 2025
Believe.
That was the single word Northview Chiefs head coach Doug Vickery wrote on a marker board.
He believed in his Chiefs, his boys, as he headed back to Flomaton High School on homecoming night for the Hurricanes, the team he led to a state championship and left last year after 19 years as head coach.
And Friday night, the Chiefs planted their flag on the Hurricanes’ field with a 28-14 win on the night that the lights went out.
“God has rejuvenated me. He’s humbled me, because I got cocky when I was here (at Flomaton). And I’ve learned so much,” Vickery said in the team huddle after the game. “That’s why I do it because the boys have bought in, and God has blessed me so much with you guys.”
As he spoke, the Flomaton stadium lights were cut, and the Northview players erupted into chants of “Our house, our house!”
“You know you done made them mad when they turn the lights out!” Vickery yelled.

After a long pass from Northview quarterback Caleb Levins to Tyson Phifer to set up first and goal from about the 5-yard-line, Levins was in for the touchdown to give Northview a 6-0 lead. The Hurricanes answered by Zykenzie Martin to punch it to put Flomaton up 7-6.
Northview’s Levins then found Phifer on a long pass, setting up another Levins touchdown. With a good 2-point conversion, Northview held a 14-7 advantage at the half.
With 7:04 to go in the third quarter, Northview’s Jackson Helton returned an interception from about 60 yards out to make it Northview 20, Flomaton 7. After a Flomaton TD, Levins added another touchdown for the Chiefs with 52.7 seconds left in the game for the final 28-14 score.
Northview’s season came to an end at 3-7 over all, 1-4 in the Rural Davison. Flomaton ended their regular season at 6-4, 3-3 in 3A Region 1 as they head into playoffs next week in Montgomery.

UWF Argos Improve Tto 8-0 With Dominant Win Over West Virginia State
October 26, 2025
The UWF Argos stayed perfect on the season after a dominant 55-6 win over West Virginia State on Saturday afternoon at PenAir Field.
It was a lopsided victory as UWF, the No. 3 team in the nation, out gained the Yellow Jackets 478-132 in total offense. The Argo defense produced five sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception while only allowing an average of 2.8 yards per play to the visitors. WVSU was only 1-of-11 on third down conversions. Leading the stout defense was senior linebacker Ja’Kobe Clinton with nine tackles including three tackles for loss, two sacks, a fumble recovery and a pass break up. Chester Fearon recorded his third interception of the season with a pick near midfield in the second quarter.
TJ Lane and the UWF rush offense controlled the contest. The Argos ran the ball 48 times for 268 yards and five scores. Lane had three touchdowns to go with 67 rush yards. Three touchdowns in a game is a new career high for the redshirt sophomore.
The 8-0 Argos have had the best start in program history. Next week the team will head to Delta State for a massive Gulf South Conference showdown between two nationally-ranked teams. Delta State is coming off a 41-38 win over No. 11 West Alabama. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. in Cleveland, Mississippi.
