Northview Takes Command Of District With Win Over Freeport

October 20, 2012

The Northview Chiefs beat the Freeport Bulldogs Friday night, 42-0, to take command of District 1-1A.

“We did real well on both sides of the football,” Northview Head Coach Sid Wheatley said. “Overall, it was a good game for us.”

Penn State recruit Neiko Robinson had three touchdown receptions for the Chiefs, while his younger brother Neino Robinson had one.  Quarterback Kevin Vaughan and sophomore LaDarius Thomas both had rushing TD’s for Northview.

Senior LaMikal Kyles had ovr 100 yards rushing for the Chiefs.

The win put the Chiefs (5-2, 2-0) on top of the hunt for the District 1-1A championship and a third consecutive trip to the state playoffs.

Northview was coming off of an open week before Friday night’s road trip to Freeport (3-4, 1-1). That extra week meant extra prep time for the Chiefs. “We had a good two weeks to work,and I saw us get a little better each day,” Wheatley said.

Next Friday night, the Chiefs will be at home in Bratt against Vernon for homecoming. “We will continue to work to get better,” Wheatley said. “We will go back to work and get ready for Vernon.”
