Northview Honors Winning Team, Cheerleaders

The Northview Chiefs honored their football players and cheerleaders and their annual banquet Thursday night.

“It was a tremendous year,” Head Football Coach Sid Wheatley said, crediting in part the leadership of the team’s 20 seniors.

“We returned pretty much the same guys that won two games last year,” Wheatley, a first year head coach, said. “It was tough, but we had a great season.”

The Chiefs finished the regular season at 7-3, one spot away from a playoff berth. Post season, 1A Northview played 4A Tate in the first ever Miracle Bowl. The Aggies came out on top, but Wheatley said he was proud of his team’s performance and the chance to play a larger school.

Northview Head Cheerleading Coach Anna Barry and JV Coach Mega Carroll said they are also proud of their squads.

“This is a very talented group of girls,” said Barry. “I think we have the best cheerleading team around.

Joey McCall, president of the NHS Quarterback club, thanked the coaches and all of those that worked hard during the season to support the Northview program.
