Northview Gets Big District Win Over South Walton
September 11, 2010
The Northview Chiefs started things off right in District 1A Friday night with a 27-20 defeat of the South Walton Seahawks. With the win, the Chiefs are 2-0, 1-0 in the district.
The Chiefs picked up 242 yards Friday night in Santa Rosa Beach, with 174 yards from Dustin Yuhasz. Quarterback Brandon Sheets was 4 of 9 passing for 91 yards, while La’Mikal Kyles finished with 53 yards and two touchdowns.

Things went very badly for South Walton Seahawk Andrew Priest Friday night. He was 59 yards into what he thought was a 60 yard touchdown run when he started his celebration. But the premature celebration came to an end when Priest fumbled the ball on the one-yard line. The Chiefs recovered in the end zone for a touchback. Northview drove to the South Walton five — includinga 53-yard breakaway run from Brandon Sheets. La’Mikal Kyles was in from six yards out for the TD. A good kick from Lance Bushaw, and the Chiefs held a 7-0 lead with just under five minutes to go in the first quarter.
South Walton tried again, driving deep into Chief territory a couple of times in the second quarter. But turnovers were costly for the Seahawks,with Dustin Yuhasz recovering a fumble inside the 20-yard line. The senior was in from 81-yards out with 5:16 in the half as the Chiefs led 14-0.
Taking advantage of a bad snap on a Chief’s punt attempt, South Walton took possession on the 22 and drove to the one-yard line. Then, on third down and one, they punched it in for a touchdown. Their PAT kick was good, and their Chiefs’ lead shrank to 14-7.
Then, with 8:03 remaining in the game, the Seahawks struck again. But they botched the kick, and the Chiefs held on to a one point lead. Dustin Yuhasz had a 93-yard touchdown run with 6:11 in the ballgame in Santa Rosa Beach to give the Northview Chiefs a 20-13 lead.
South Walton scored again on a two-yard run and made their point after kick to tie the game 20-20 with 4:22 to go.
Then Dustin Yuhasz had a gain of 56 yards on a reverse before La’Mikal Kyles was in from 24 yards out to put the Chiefs back on top. A good extra kick, and Northview was up 27-20 with 3:47 on the clock.
A 35-yard touchdown by the Chiefs with less than two minutes was called back for a block in the backfield by #28 — but NHS does not have a #28.
Then, with less than two minutes on the clock, the game was temporarily halted as an injured Seahawk player was taken off the field by ambulance. His condition was not available.

The Northview Chiefs will be off next week. They will play their first home game September 24 in Bratt against Bozeman.

The boy from South Walton is ok. He is actually at school today!
Great job Friday night Chiefs! I agree that Dustin should get the game ball, he had an awesome game, but this is not a one man show. Great job “O” line!! We need to be teaching teamwork, they have to work together to get things done. No one person can do it alone.
Ok, so does anyone have any info on the injured Sea Hawks player?
The game was awesome, but I was very disappointed at how the So. Walton Fans were allowed to congregate in the end zone and raise such a racket. It was dangerous and VERY distracting, to the NHS fans and the players!
So proud of our NHS chiefs!!!!
Great job Chiefs! The boys worked well together under good leadership last night. There were a few players that did have outstanding plays without a doubt. Blocking was good last night for sure. The fan energy level was really high, which has to be encouraging for the players. Glad to see the cheerleaders and band really working together to keep things pumped up in the crowd. Way to go Chiefs, and fans, let’s keep the participation and energy level high!
The Hi-Lites from last night are now uploaded to you tube and are currently being processed. They should be available shortly.
Titled- Northview Chiefs Vs South Walton Seahawks 9-10-10
William, any update on the Sea Hawks injured player?
I don’t ever think one player should have a game ball. If there were no lineman the quarterback would never make a snap for any 1 player to touch the ball and make the awesome play that he made. These boys did a great job of showing what a team can do when they come together as a team. And to the coaches you have done your job well. You have instilled in these young men that most people lack that is togetherness . Together they will be winners because at the end of the day they ALL can say WE WON
For all you Chiefs fans that didn’t make the game, I will have hi-lites on you tube around 12 noon Saturday. This was one of the most exciting football games I have ever seen!!! So be sure and check out the vid. Just search Northview Vs South Walton 9-10-10. I tried to get both offense and defense in the vid.
And naturally we are proud of our son Dustin Yuhasz, but we and Dustin know that this was clearly a team win!
GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Way to go Chiefs. Thanks for the coverage, and thanks for the pics!!
Jay is no competition for the Chiefs! Once again, congrats to the ENTIRE Chief football team (coaches/players) for a great game last night! Also, a big ups to the water boys and the trainer for doing a great job last night. The “animal” knows how to get the team fired up!!!

The man is Dustin Yuhaz #4 who deserves the game ball for his efforts in tonight’s game! He was no doubt the go to man during the game with monster runs from carries and punt returns that gained more than 55, 65 and 95 yards on three different occasions plus he scored a couple of touchdowns.
Congrats to the team and La’Derious Franklin “Big D” ! Prayers go out to the injured South Walton football player…praying he’s doing better!

Prayers for injured player
Way to go Chiefs!
