Northview Looks For Regional Win Over Freeport (With Admission, Noisemaker Info)
November 23, 2012
The Northview Chiefs will play tonight for their third straight regional title tonight in Bratt.
The Chiefs (8-3, 3-0) will host the Freeport Bulldogs at 7:30 p.m. in Bratt in what will be Northview’s final home game of the season. With a win, the Chiefs will advance next Friday night to the state semifinals on the road against the winner of tonight’s Blountstown (7-4, 3-1) at Liberty County (9-2, 4-0) game.
For the Chiefs, it’s the third consecutive playoff appearance under head coach Sid Wheatley. The previous two trips along the state series came to an end at the state semifinal level, just one game short of a state championship game in Orlando.
The Chiefs have been nothing short of dominating in 1A play this year. Ranked No. 4 in the state, Northview has destroyed all 1A opponents this season by an average of five touchdowns. Last week, Northview whipped Cottondale in the regional seminfinals, 57-6. Their only losses have come at the hands of much larger schools with strong programs — Class 5A West Florida (10-1), Class 5A Gulf Breeze (7-4) and Class 4A Marianna (8-2).
The Freeport Bulldogs are are 6-5 overall, 2-1 in 1A play. Their only loss was 42-0 at the hands of the Chiefs back in October.
Last year, the Northview Chiefs beat Freeport 43-13 in Bratt in the regional finals.

From The Quarterback Club
“The Northview Quarterback Club would like to remind Chiefs fans that Friday night’s regional championship will be the final home game of the season, regardless of outcome. Fans are encouraged to come out and show your support by bringing your noisemakers, signs, and most of all, your enthusiasm. We would like to duplicate the atmosphere we had at the state semi-final game last year against Chipley. Come out and support your Northview Chiefs and remember to get especially loud when you hear “the bells”. Go Chiefs!”
