Northview Beats Graceville 24-6 (With Photo Gallery)
September 4, 2010
The Northview Chiefs opened their season Friday night with a big road win over Graceville, 24-6
The Chiefs ended their first possession with a 27-yard field goal from Lance Bushaw. Then, with 5:26 on the clock in the first, Graceville’s Tigers were on the board with a touchdown from the six-yard line toe end their first possession. The Tigers missed their two point attempt, taking the lead 6-3.
Then with 1:24 to go in the first, senior Taylor Martin had a two-yard touchdown dash. A good kick, and the Chiefs returned to the lead, 10-6.
The Chiefs managed a drive inside the Graceville 10 before attempting and missing a fourth down field goal with a second shy of six minutes to go in the half.
With 3:44 remaining in the half, NHS intercepted the ball at midfield. But the Chiefs fumbled on the Tiger’s 40. It was Graceville’s ball with 2:25 in the second.

At the 1:05 mark in the second, senior Dustin Yuhasz returned a Graceville punt 65 yards for a touchdown. A good extra point, and the Chiefs were up 17-6. Northview
drove to the one-yard line with 1.3 seconds on the clock in the first half. But they were unable to make the play before the buzzer. Headed to the lockers, the Chiefs were ahead of the Gators 17-6.
The third quarter was all about defense as both teams were scoreless.
In the fourth, with 10:46 on the board, quarterback Brandon Sheets was in for another Northview touchdown from five yards out. A textbook kick through the uprights, and the Chiefs sealed their 24-6 victory over the Graceville Tigers.
The Chiefs amassed 354 total yards against Graceville, with 281 yards on the ground.
Northview (1-0, 0-0) will be on the road again next week for their first district game against South Walton.
