The final game of the season was a rough one for the Northview High School JV Chiefs, with a loss and three people transported to the hospital — including one by Lifeflight.

Freshman Colby White sustained a head injury late in the game and was transported by LifeFlight helicopter to a Pensacola hospital. His injuries were not life threatening. Early in the game, freshman Jody Day sustained an injured leg and was transported to the hospital by private vehicle. A JV cheerleader suffered a shoulder injury during the game and was transported to Atmore Community Hospital by private vehicle. Her injuries were not believed to be severe.

The Chiefs lost the game to Catholic High 41-20 to end the season 0-6.

The Crusaders jumped out to an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter Thursday night in Bratt. Sean Knight went in for a Chief’s touchdown with 1:43 to go in the first. The point after attempt by Knight was not good, and Catholic led at the end of the first, 7-6.

CHS added another seven at 6:34 in the second. Then with 3:41 in the half, Hunter Black gained five yards to make it second and five. Sean Knight was unstoppable with a 14 yard touchdown run, shaking off Crusader after Crusader along the way. The point after was no good, and the Chiefs were down by just two, 14-12, with 3:26 in the half.

The Crusaders picked up 27 more in the second half of play, leading 41-12 in the fourth. Northview added another eight late in the game for the final score 41-20.

    I think that the NHS cheerleaders tried their best encouraging NHS football players, and I think the football players tried very hard. Even with therei lost, we know who’s the best!

    The JV team would have been much stronger, but the varsity team used some of the JV players to fill holes in the roster. This is a good thing for those players to be moved up and congrats are to be given to them. I’m very proud of all of the players both JV and varsity, and remember to come out and support the team! Last week at Baker, I was pleased that our fans came out and supported the Chiefs with the cheering! LETS GO CHIEFS!!

    JV has improved so much this season. They have come a long way since their first game. Last nights accidents were tough, but our boys came together and played a good game. We are all praying for Colby and Jody. Way to go Chiefs – we’ll come back and get ‘em next year.

    We are praying for all that were hurt and thank God for His protection over each one of you!
