Northview Prepares For State Semifinal Game With Chipley
November 28, 2011
It’s only the second trip ever to the Class 1A state semifinal as the Northview Chiefs will be looking for a little redemption Friday night against Chipley.
The Chipley Tigers beat the Chiefs 34-27 in the second game of the regular season, knocking Northview out of No. 1 spot in the state poll for Class 1A. In the final regular season poll of the year, Chipley finished at No. 4, while the Chiefs were No. 5.
That loss to Chipley was a dose of reality for the Chiefs, according to coach Sid Wheatley.
“We have been through some battles now, and I think we are ready for that (another chance at Chipley),” Wheatley said.
The Chiefs (8-3) will have the home field advantage Friday night at 7:30 in Bratt as they host Chipley (10-2). Admission is $9 with no passes.
The winner of the Northview vs. Chipley semifinal match will face the winner of Friday night’s Jefferson County (7-5) vs. Union County (11-0) game in the state championship game on December 9 in Orlando’s Citrus Bowl.

I agree with sportsmanship! But the kid didn’t do anything to deserve what he got! Now he will never get this back.. I’m pretty sure Sheets is a senior and I imagine he has worked really hard with his teamates to get where they are.. Imagine how he feels.. That could be his last game ever as a northview chief. And he will never get to put on shoulder pads and a helmet again.. All over a little clapping! It’s ridiculous! I feel for him, he’s in my prayers! Go chiefs!
Sportsmanship is a key to success. This means players and coaches!
If we can not beat the other team clean and play fair we do not need to play.
A real championship team admits when they are wrong and enjoys their rightful victory when it is won.
There are more lessons here than how to win a football game, this applies to success in life. I hope the coaches remember this and remind the players as well.
I want to see the chiefs win and bring home a state championship, but I want to see this team make the community proud no matter what!
sheets will not be able to play friday night as of right now. coach has filed an appeal lets pray it works.
Any truth come out of the story of Sheets being suspended for this game as well?
woooohooo! Ya’ll win and I’m goin to Disney land! GO CHIEFS!
