West Florida Downs Northview In Spring Jamboree (With Photo Gallery)
May 20, 2011
The Northview Chiefs, coming off the best season ever in the school’s history, lost to the West Florida Jaguars 21-6 Thursday night during the varsity part of their spring football jamboree.
The Chief’s lone score came from Brandon Sheets with a 53-yard run.
The loss was, to say the least, a disappointment for Head Coach Sid Wheatley. He said the team had spent the three weeks of spring practice working on some new tricks that failed Thursday night due to mistakes.

“We knew we would have some mistakes and miscues; we were trying some different things offensively,” Wheatley said.
The mistakes and miscues were not limited to the offense, with the defense giving up some big plays.”Tackling was the most disappointing thing for us defensively,” he said. “We will work extremely hard to get better on the basics like tackling.”
Wheatley said fans will see a much improved team by fall, where the Chiefs have their sights set on that bringing thhat elusive state championship trophy home to Bratt.
We are going to continue to work, and we are going to be better,” Wheatley said.
West Florida scored with a 30-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Faxlanger to Ty Peasant, an 11-yard run from Daylan Abrams and a 12-yard dash from Lawrence Lee.

Even with the loss, Head Coach Sid Wheatley said his JV Chiefs played hard, moved the ball well and controlled the clock.

WEST FLORIDA TECH is garabage. Northview beat them every year they played then. The spring means nothing. And lasttime i check West Florida Tech is the worst football team in florida. There record is like 4-76 since the school opened. Ppl schedule WFT for there homecoming to whoop up on them. Lol. Players get there stats up when they play WFT.
remember, if you don’t get the grades you can’t make the plays!
we need all of the team to get it together.
They need to rethink the 3-4 defense and go back to what got them there last year on defense. that defense leaves to many gaos in the middle of the field. Also the defensive line needs some work on staying low everyone of them came out of there stanse last night standing straight up. ALWAYS REMEBER THAT THE LOW MAN WINS THE FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!
This game was more of a smack down.
What happened to the chiefs from last season?
We got spanked like a kid talking back to granny!
lets get it together Chiefs, we want another awsome season! lets go all the way again. we know what it takes, lets make it happen!
GO JAGS!!! WOOT!!!
