Fall Football Pratice Begins (With Photo Gallery; NHS, Tate, Jay Schedules)

August 10, 2010

The prep football season got underway Monday in North Escambia, with teams hitting the practice field.

(Schedules are included below for Northview, Tate and Jay high schools.)

The Northview Chiefs finished last season at 7-3 under first-year Head Coach Sid Wheatley, one spot away from a playoff berth and a huge turnaround from the previous year’s 2-8 record. Wheatley said he had playoff plans for the Chiefs’ 2010 season.

Monday morning’s first practice of the fall season focused on the fundamentals and dealing with the heat. The Chiefs will continue morning practices through Wednesday with no pads. The full pads will be on as the Chief’s move to afternoon practices on Thursday.

    I think a very intelligent head Coach at Northview has surrounded himself with some smart assistant coaches, the one from the state of Alabama has won at every stop. (5A & 6A)
