Chiefs Fall To Marianna 42-6
November 1, 2008
The Marianna Bulldogs beat the Northview Chiefs Friday night, 42-6.
The Bulldogs were ahead 35-0 at the half in Marianna, and increased their second half lead to 42-0. A last second play, the final play of the game, saw a pass from freshman Brandon Sheets to sophomore Dustin Yuhasz for the Chief’s only touchdown. That put the final at 42-6.
Yuhasz had three carries on the night for 57 yards and two catches for 47 yards, including the touchdown.
Sheets was four for 14 passing for 56 yards and the single touchdown.
Northview’s typical standout player, Jay Jackson, had threw two Bulldog interceptions against Marianna.
With the loss, the Chiefs fell to 2-6 for the season, 1-2 in district play.

MEDICINE MAN…..I BY NO MEANS WAS INSINUATING THAT I PROMOTE LOSING…AND I CAN SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ….MY SON PLAYS FOR THE CHIEFS, AND HAS PLAYED AT CERTAIN TIMES, FOR BOTH WALNUT HILL AND CENTURY FOOTBALL AND BASEBALL PROGRAMS…..AND BELIEVE ME….HE WAS RAISED BY A DADDY THAT BEAT WIN, WIN, WIN, INTO HIS HEAD AND HEART……AND TO THIS DAY HE HATES TO LOOSE……BUT ALL I WAS TRYING TO DO IS BRING SOME POSITIVE INTO A SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO BE UPSETTING ALOT OF FOLKS……ALL I WILL SAY IS THOSE BOYS HAVE POTENTIAL AND I AM PROUD OF EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM AND THE DEDICATION THAT THEY HAVE SHOWN! GO CHIEFS! THEY WILL ALWAYS BE WINNERS IN MY EYES, AND I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR THEM ALL.
Fan, Bystander,
Nobody is making a separation, maybe some comparisons. Sports are played for the competition, not just exercise on game night. If you are accepting being a loser or poor performance, then you are part of the problem. The Chiefs deserve to be winners, as any team with some talent, but winning is more than words, it has to be what you know you can put into players that care. It takes Coaches that don’t know the meaning of losing, they don’t even allow it to be said by their Staff or Players. But that losing mentality has crept its way into the Chiefs, and the Coach has the control to not let that happen. From Head Coach to Line Coach, and all in between have been approached, and your right Coach Keene is a nice man, and will take time to discuss anything with almost anyone, but if a man will not take free quality information from people that know these players and know ways to help this program utilize those players and use it for the benefit of the program, all is said in vain. From a person who knows winning, and can see clearly that the Chiefs need help, it is their duty to their kids, school,program and community to get the information out there any way they can. I’m praying to BROTHER, that Coach will take his hat off, lay it on the table, and let this community come together and help this program be what we know it can be, and what we are used to having. As said before and it should be the chant of the Chiefs at every practice, PROPER PREPARATION PREVENTS POOR PERFORMANCE. That is what we live by and the team should accept nothing less than perfection from themselves and the Coaching.
Bystander you are exactly right. Instead of condeming we need to uplift Coach Keene, the players, band, cheerleaders etc. People we do have a voice and we can make a change if you choose to do so. Mr Simpson, president of the quarterback club, I’m sure would love to have you to join the quarterback club and bring our community together, bring your ideas and let’s move forward. On the other hand I’m sure Coach Keene is man enough to talk to some of you concerning your ideas, or are you not man enough to go to him. All I am saying is I think it is time we lay Ernest Ward aside and Century aside, we are one and Northview will never be the school it needs to be until we lay them down. I graduated from one of those schools and we did have alot of pride, but where is the pride at Northview? We need to come together.
GOODNESS…..IT SEEMS LIKE NO MATTER WHAT SOME PEOPLE DO…..SOME JUST AREN’T HAPPY……I KIND OF PUT THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE LIKE THIS…..I LIKE FOOTBALL……BUT DOES THE FACT OF WINNING OR LOSING MATTER WHEN WE STAND BEFORE OUR GOD? I KNOW THAT ALOT OF PEOPLE WONT LOOK AT IT LIKE THAT……BUT IT REALLY IS THE TRUTH….I PRAY FOR COACH KEENE THAT HE HAS THE STRENGTH TO COACH OUR BOYS AND PRAY FOR THOSE THAT ARE SO DISGRUNTLED OVER A GAME.
Well seems to me i’m not the only one that knows about the game of football.Medicine Man it’s not about having facts right when all you have to do is watch the game and see what happen for eight games, you need no collage ed. to figure out the facts.When it’s all in your face you can’t help but notice.Don’t go comparing ability to coach ,i’m old school ,you don’t even have a clue about what i know or what me and teams have accomplished so open our eyes and see the big picture that’s in your face.
Reply to Fan: Posted Nov. 6,
Remember don’t judge or you will be judged.
Facts:
1. You don’t have to have a College Degree to know how to Coach, or to know when someone needs help.
2. Most of the comments here are comments of concern and wanting to help the only way they are allowed to.
3. Northview has talent that can win with the right stratigies..
4. Pride can sink you as quick as it can help you.
5. There are people posting here that I promise you, know what they are talking about.
6. Until they quit blaming the players, the players are not going to respond in a positive way.
7. Like it or not, a Head Coach must bear the burden for the teams mistakes, thats the spots that come with the dog.
And others, but I would run out room, listen and or read and you will learn.
brandon sheets aint no better than jay jackson the only reason people are saying this is because of the fact they are the normal “walnut hill” supporters! anybody from century or anybody that knows anything about football can see that jay knows more than any little brandon sheets…if brandon starts at the game tomorrow watch the whole football team be done with it!!!!!!!
I just think people need to have their facts straight before entering a comment and also, learn how to spell! We have so many people that like to stand back and complain but don’t have the gutts to confront the coaches or go to a quarterback club meeting and see what you can do to make things better. Why are the people in our community so quick to tell how things should be or how they could do it better but don’t do anything to help. No matter who the coach is, things will not be better until the people of our community come together and work together. It also sounds like some of you need to quit your job, go to college get a degree to be a coach!
This is a post on Northview football ,not politics.
Please don’t disgrace this AMERICAN pastime with that Muslim, do your gloating elsewhere.
Shouldn’t be hard, they have been empty a long time.
Let’s see if the shoes will be filled!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to Obama!!! I hope all of you are having great weeks.
Well everyone don’t understand the background of these kids or thier parents or even know their ability to play the game of football.You have to have the won’t to as a coach to get results.We don’t because after the second or third game and we run the same thin over and over and over that show me either they are trying to prove a point or it’s all just a one man show.Maybe that’s all the knowledge they have for the game.What used to work some where else don’t mean it will here.Individual talent has got us the past records and coaching had little involvement,no why ?Then the talent falls off and you still can’t win as a coach then it has to be just plain raw talent that help you along for the ride.
Chase, you are off course, players have to be coached, I don’t care who they are, or how good they think they are, don’t get the cart ahead of the horse here.
Chase you statements about Jay and Brandon are off course, you are talking to totally different ends of the game. Kenneth ” Jay ” Jackson, has been playing football since he was 5 years old, now that doesn’t make him a QB, but Jay knows football, and what you see him doing is trying to cope with a disoriented team. Jay is doing what he is asked and told to do by the Coaches, the best that he can with what he has to work with. Is he a little flamboyant? Sure. But most of that is confidence in his own ability, he knows what he was taught to do years ago, but the current coaching is what is making these players look so bad. They are confused, and need solid direction, they need someone who can coach them to win from the heart, not just talk about it. Jay is a running back, and he knows it, actually he is darn good at reciever, but as stated it appears no one knows how to best utilize what they have. Now about Brandon, it was good that he was able to get in some play time Friday night, but fully understand that Marianna had every last back up to the back up 3rd string in the game, and the CB had already stopped chasing Dustin with what, 0 seconds left in the game, so take it with a grain of salt, he has a long way to go to be the pinnacle QB that you want him to be, Northview has a Junior that if given the solid oppritunity, can lead the Chiefs to victories, and he is Austin Reid. Maybe if the Chiefs can get the right offense to the players you will be able to see that first hand, next year. The Chiefs have talent.
Ive heard we lost another key player this week to personal problems. I ve also heard that we will see some new stuff this week. O.k. Im finished ,let the sarcasm begin. God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said Chase. Hopefully Brandon will start at QB and we will have better results this week.We are 2-7 time to see what we have in the tank use some other players in positions and see what happens sure cant be any worse than what has happened.
2-7 what a shame
Brandon Sheets made Jay Jackson looks horrible…..Brandon is a freshmen and Jay is a senior….Jay has threw like 7 picks in the season…Brandon got in there and threw a td….what a shame coach…..its time for a new one…..and talking bout the fans getting fired up……we need a coach that cares….so stop tlking bout whiny babies cause you are one who wants to write that……
Well i here that the head chief is highest paid coach in escambia county!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The real problem at Northview is we have a coach that is from another state here to get his Florida retirement. His future players are playing football every weekend at NWE and Century and he nor his assistant coaches have ever been to any of there games. NWE and the EWMS team was formed just because we wanted to give our kids to get a head start in football before reaching Northview. These are his future players, don’t you think if he cared just alittle bit he would attend a couple of there games! NWE has tried for years to get the Northview coaches to give our kids a clinic and have been ignored. Next year when you parents travel to the away games, notice how they honor the kids from there local little leagues. The kids get to wear there jerseys on the feild and are acknowledged at halftime for there hard work. It means the whole world to those kids just to be on that feild looking back at the crowd. On the other hand Northview never does anything like that for there future, all they want is there money to get in the game. When it comes time for a new coach lets stand up as a community and try to get a coach from our family that care about winning football games because he his proud of Northview and not there just for a check!!!!!!!!
The talent is there ,just in the wrong spots.Most of these kids I’ve watched play sence they where five years old all the way to right now .I can tell you we have wasted alot of talent to kids standing on the sideline who never got the chance to show their ability.For me alot of kids step up when their number is called ,but if it’s never called they never get the chance to show what they can do in a game.Right or wrong if we just change up some, about like we did in the fourth quarter last Fri. night I think you will see a big differance in the whole outcome of the game.Fine the best eleven ,put’em on the field in the right positions weather it’ a freshman or senior .The team is there to win,coachs are there to coach not worry about whos feeling might get hurt,or who might be looking over your shoulder.What ever it takes to win then that’s the right thing to do .In the long run things will be more povitive than negative.But again this is just me.
Look closley at the picture above with this story, see anything that needs attention? It is obvious that these players are not having their positions taught to them correctly. If they are trying to run a 3 LB defensive set, with a rover, then instantly you can see that they are in no position be able to follow the ball, this is why the LB’s in the middle are not making the tackles on the run plays as they should. As has been stated in the news reports that everybody has a job to do, AKA an ASSIGNMENT, that is absolutley correct. A honest observation of the picture will tell you that those assingments will be difficult if not impossible to carry out with those players told to position themselves this way, especially against a good running team. These players should be at least 3-5 yds off the the D-line, ther is no way without radar they can see in that crowd from the start, so that doesn’t allow them to move with or cover the personell the are supposed to. The can only move with them after the crowd clears, and then its to late and they are playing catchup. It appears as though there might be only one player that is even close 6′, and he should be the one in the middle and move your shorter LB’s to the outside or rover. Remeber these are not Pro size athletes.
Medicine Man nice comment but we need coaches here that care about this team and know how to run these offenses. Right now all they know is to run the same thing over and over again. It was done last season as well we just had an explosive running back , who played running back and not quarterback. Any body can tell that they dont care when all season we would be way behind on the score board with the same people playing the whole game and others not getting a play in the game. Man i guess im not to smart on this stuff but I think if i was losing every week getting my tail whipped with the same personel then i would at least give these boys a shot in the game. Hey they bust their butts all week at practice what can it hurt if your already losing say 42-0, 29-12 all late in the game with no hope of coming back let them play. You just might find something you didnt know you had. To the the team of players out there hold your heads up a lot of people know that you are better than what is being shown on the field. A lot of us have watched all of you in different leagues play ball and succeed it can happen when you get a coach in there with the right attitude that cares about the team.
The players do try to get fired up, but when they turn around to the crowd and people are sitting there just watching how do we expect our boys and girls to get fired up? If we want our athletes at Northview to have spirit and have some fire, then parents and fans we need to be teaching them. Let’s quit raising quitters and whinning babies and teach our kids what it is like to persevere and stand strong and not quit when the going gets tough. Let’s stand behind the Chiefs win or lose and quit talking about how to do things better, instead let’s do something about it. You want a say, join the quarterback club, get in there and have a voice. Go Chiefs!
I noticed some of the boys getting fired up during the 4th quarter with 3 min. left on a running clock…. Come on boys you need to do that during the 1st quarter or even before the game gets started. I think its a little late by then.
Ya’ll practice hard and long..
win or lose
we still love cheering for ya’ll!
The score from Friday night is indicative of the cancer that is eating away at the Northview Chiefs. Marianna played a poor game, but somehow still put 42 points on the board. I agree with Kieth that some young players are getting some experience time, and that is a usefull tool for the future. The Chiefs do need to get something going for next year, and it needs to be a offense that can be run effectively with the personell that they have. Unfortunatly the Chiefs don’t have the ready to go know how that they have had in the past. The players that have that are very few, which makes it very obvious that the rest have to learn it from the ground up, and they need a program that allows them to learn yet be winners, and both are possible. It is no better time than now to put in a new system, and I am not talking about the spread offense. With the personell the Chiefs have the Toss Offense run out of the Double Wing Set, is the perfect set up to cure what ailes them, this offense would dominate 1A thru 3A teams easily, and other higher classifications if they had some more speed, but all that matters is the teams that the Chiefs will be playing. No one in the Clssifications mentioned above would be running a defense that could stop it. You want answers, then listen up, they are all around you.
It’s not about being young ,it’s about understanding the game of football.when you run the same thing all year and can’t win you have to change.why we don’t fine what will work i have no clue.you have to coach the ups and downs and do what ever it takes to win.if not this isn’t giving the team the chance to even compete.wow it’s not hard to figure out what we run it’s the same three or four plays we always run.just for note after the game their coach said on the raido, it’s not much of a game when you’re eating boild peanuts on the sideline and it’s just the third quarter.how many time has anyone ever seen things being explain on the sidelines when a player makes a mistake.if you’re not tought you will never know.now if that is the case we will always be young, the blame has to go to someone.”NEVER TOLD YOU WILL NEVER KNOW”. keep playing hard boys the monkey is’t on your back.you just have to be given a chance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We knew before the season started that this would be a rebuilding season.I believe we had only 6 seniors return this year. Again I say , keep your heads up boys, Do not be ashamed. Finish strong and gear up for next year. This has been a year for many to get great varsity experience. All I can say is your opponents better look out for the Chiefs next year, God Bless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a shame!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
