Double OT Revenge: Northview’s JV Beats Atmore’s Blue Devils

September 27, 2011

The junior varsity Northview Chiefs got a little revenge Monday night in a double overtime win over the Escambia County (Atmore) Blue Devils, 18-12.

A couple of weeks ago, Escambia County beat the Chiefs 8-0 in Atmore. But Monday night’s intense game in Bratt had a happier ending for Northview.

The Blue Devils and the Chiefs were tied 0-0 just seconds before halftime when the Chiefs’ Jeffrey Taylor was in on a short touchdown run. Sophomore Brannon Freeman came up short on a two point conversion, and Northview carried a 6-0 lead into the half.

Escambia County tied the game with a touchdown and missed two point pass attempt with 3:55 to go in the third.

The Blue Devils came within inches of a win as time wound down in the fourth, but a series of penalties and a tough goal line stand by the Chiefs held ECHS out of the end zone for a 6-6 tie at the end of the fourth.

A quick coaches’ agreement, and the game headed into overtime — each team getting four downs from the 10. After the first overtime period, the game was tied 12-12.

First up in the second OT, the Blue Devils were pushed backwards all the way to the 21 by Northview’s defensive line. On third down and 21 to go for Escambia County, a Blue Devils pass was intercepted by Northview freshman Keondre Lett.

On third and four, the Chiefs sealed the 18-12 win with a Daulton Tullis touchdown.

The JV Chiefs, now 3-1, with play the fifth and final game of their season October 13 at home against West Florida High School.
