Northview Lady Chiefs Win District Championship 10-3 Over Jay’s Lady Royals
April 22, 2011
The Northview Lady Chiefs claimed the District 1-2A softball championship Thursday night with a 10-3 win over rival Jay High School.
For the Lady Chiefs, it was a stellar performance all around, according to Head Coach Sammy Day.

“We came out and just hit the ball; we hit the ball well,” Day said. “”We played good defense, and our outfield did an excellent job.”
Sophomore Misty Doran (9-7) pitched seven for the Chiefs, striking out five and walking three. At the plate, Doran had a home run. Other Northview hitters were Miranda Burkett, 2-3; Sarah Killam, 2-5 with a triple; Emily Vickery 2-3; and Shawna Montgomery 2-3 with a triple.
For the Lady Royals, Ashlynn Geck was 2-3 with a RBI and Tessa Hendricks was 2-4 with a RBI.
Thursday’s win was the second consecutive district title for Northview, a feat that early in the season Day was not so sure his team would be able to pull off. “At one time this year we were 2-5. But they have really come around the last few ballgames and set their goals high. I’m proud of them.”
Northview (15-9) will open the Regional TournamentWednesday. The Lady Chiefs will face a yet to be determined team at 7 p.m. Jay (14-8) will travel to Bratt to play at 4:00 Wednesday.

Way to go Lady Chiefs! Great game! We are so proud of you!
So proud of you girls for literally stepping up to the plate and playing some good ball! I’ve heard this is the first Northview softball team to win back to back district champ titles…Does anyone know if this is true?
Good game Lady Chiefs! I ove all the players of both teams and all the fans present at the game last night an apology for my outburst toward the home plate umpire in the sixth inning. I’m sorry. I asked the Lord to forgive me before I approched the officials at the gate where I apologized to the man I had insulted. He forgave me and shook my hand in a gesture of unity. I will behave in a more appropriate manner toward the officials in the future. That said: Go Chiefs!!!
Good job girls!
