Week Three: Prep Football Standings
September 17, 2012
Another week with big winners, and big losers, is in the history books, but there still have been no district games for real standings in the playoff hunt.
That will change this Friday night in District 1-6A and District 1-5A with most teams meeting district opponents. For District 1-1A, Friday night will be another week of playing non-district games.
Here’s a look at last week’s results and this Friday night’s schedule:
Jay’s Dobson Win Semper Fi Run, Cantonment Marine Second

Sweet Revenge: Northview Chiefs Beat The Chipley Tigers
September 15, 2012
After a regular season and a state semifinal loss to the Chipley Tigers last season, the Northview Chiefs stormed back in the second half Friday night to beat the Chipley Tigers 50-29.
“It was awesome,” said Northview head coach Sid Wheatley said. “It was great to come back and get a good win tonight.”
After trailing Chipley 14-6 at the half, Northview powered back in the fourth to recover from a 29-29 tie for the win.

“It’s great to see that when we are down, this team has the character to know that they can come back and fight through some adversity and get the win,” Wheatley said. But Wheatley said his Chiefs –ranked No. 4 in the state in Class 1A — still need some improvement.
“We need to limit some of the big plays defensively; I’m still not satisfied giving up 29 points. We need to tighten up defensively and not let it be a second half deal like it was tonight,” he said. “I thought overall it was a great character win for the this football team.”
For many of the players, students and fans, the win meant a little more than just beating Chipley. The initials KWJ were written in the eye black on the players in a game dedicated to the memory of Kenneth Wade Jernigan, a Northview student killed last school year in a texting and driving accident. Jernigan would have turned 17 on Friday.
Chipley took and early 7-0 lead on a one-yard run with 5:25 in the first and expanded their advantage to 14-0 with 9:39 in the second.
The Chiefs did not get the on the scoreboard until the second on a 33-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Daulton Tullis to LaMikal Kyles. A missed kick, and the Chiefs were still behind at 14-6. Northview set up a 30-yard field goal at the halftime buzzer, but Kevin Vaughan was outside the uprights. Vaughan is also the Chiefs starting quarterback, but he’s still out at QB with a broken wrist.
Neino Robinson set the Chiefs on fire, opening the third quarter with a 79-yard touchdown run. With a good two point conversion from Kyles, the Chiefs and the Tigers were even at 14-14.
The Tigers roared again with 5:07 in the third to take a 22-14 advantage. About a minute later, Kyles made the end zone from four yards out, and the Chiefs made the two point conversion on a Tullis to Daniel toss, 22-22.
Still locked at 22-22 headed into the fourth, Northview took the lead 29-22 with 9-yard run by Brannon Freeman and a kick through the uprights from Vaughan. But Chipley answered with a 65-yard TD run and a kick, 29-29 with 10:2 to go.
The remainder of the fourth was the Northview Chiefs Show, with the Chiefs defensive stopping Chipley dead behind the line of scrimmage multiple times and a forward marching offense.
Robinson returned an interception 60-yards and a good Vaughan kick, 36-29 Chiefs.
The Chiefs wrapped up their win with a 2-yard run from Roderick Woods and a good Vaughan kick, 50-29.
The Northview Chiefs will host South Walton next Friday night at 7:00 in Bratt.
