Northview Beats Baker To Claim District Championship (With Photo Gallery)
November 5, 2011
The Northview Chiefs won the District 1-1A championship Friday night, knocking off the Baker Gators 34-0.
“It was awesome tonight; they really came ready to play,” Northview Head Coach Sid Wheatley said. “The first quarter was kind of a defensive struggle back and forth, and then we really go rolling.”

The Northview Chiefs took an early lead with 10:51 to go in the first on a 70-yard touchdown run from LaMikal Kyles and a good kick from Kevin Vaughan. Then, with 8:46 in the first, Montaio Mitchell was in on a 56-yard run to to increase Northview’s advantage to 14-0.
LaMikal Banks intercepted a Baker pass at their 10 and raced down to the five to setup a Mitchell touchdown and a 21-0 lead. But the Chiefs were to add to the scoreboard once more in the half; this time on a 10-yard run on a quarterback keeper from senior Brandon Sheets to make it 28-0.
In the third quarter, Austin Albritton scored on a 10-yard pass from Sheets. With a missed kick, that ended the night’s scoring at 34-0.
The Northview Chiefs (6-2, 3-0) will travel south next Thursday night to take on the West Florida Jaguars.
Then it’s time for round one of the state playoffs with Northview set to play at home in Bratt.

Say it ain’t so… The Chiefs win in a huge way with a shut-out! Congrats to Coach Wheatly, your staff, and of course our Boy’s from Bratt for sending Northview into the play-offs by winning the District Championship out right! Get ready for West Florida and take care of them, then it’ll be Wewahitchka and more gator meat at home in two weeks!
