Playoff Time: Northview, West Florida, Flomaton At Home Tonight
November 18, 2011
Are you ready for some football? It will be a big night on both side of the state line tonight with playoff action across the area.
Wewahitchka at Northview (1-A)
It’s the second straight postseason appearance for the Northview Chiefs, but there are two major differences this year. The odometer was rolling fast and furious for the Chiefs last year with playoff games on the road; this year Northview is home for the regional finals tonight and, with a win, will be home again. The only road trip would be to Orlando for the state championship game. It’s also the first year of the new rural division, eliminating the chance of playing against big city private schools.
Tonight, the District 1-1A champ Chiefs will host District 2-1A runnerup Wewahitckha in the seventh-ever playoff appearance for Northview. Game time is 7:30 tonight; admission is $8 with no passes.
Northview got the Chief spirit going Thursday night with a huge pep rally, bonfire and tree-rolling. For a photo gallery, click here.
Tallahassee Godby at West Florida (1-5A)
It’s been dream season for the West Florida Jaguars. At 9-1, it was by far the best-ever season in the school’s history Tonight, Tallahasse Godby comes to town as the Jags look to keep the dream alive in the first round of the playoffs — the second-ever playoff appearance for West Florida. The game kicks off at 7:30 at Woodham Middle School.
Elba at Flomaton (Ala. 2A)
There’s a big storm brewing just north of the state line tonight as the 11-1 Flomaton Hurricanes host Elba in round three of the playoffs — the first quarterfinal game very played in Flomaton. Both teams are coming off big wins last week — Flomaton 51-7 over Goshen and Elba 59-20 over Vincent. The word on the street is this will be the biggest night in Flomaton’s history as practically the entire town will drown the stadium in a sea of green and white.
Elba’s ranked No. 1 in the state; Flomaton sits at No. 6. The ‘Canes only loss was 14-13 to defending state champs Leroy.
Other area playoff games:
- Choctawhatchee at Pensacola High, 7:30 p.m.
- Gulf Breeze at Wakulla, 7:30 p.m.
- Pace at Niceville, 7:30 p.m.
