Playoffs: Northview Hosts Cottondale (With Admission Info)

November 16, 2012

The District 1-1A champion Northview Chiefs will open the state playoff series tonight at home in Bratt against Cottondale.

For the Chiefs, it’s the third consecutive playoff appearance under head coach Sid Wheatley.  And the Chiefs, ranked No. 4 in the state, are hoping that the third time will be the charm in making it past the state semifinals that ended their playoff hopes the past couple of years.

The Chiefs (7-3, 3-0) have proven to be 1A force this year, outscoring three district opponents by a combined 144-20. Overall, Northview destroyed all 1A opponents this season by an average of five touchdowns. Their only losses have come at the hands of much larger schools with strong programs — Class 5A No. 3 ranked West Florida (10-0), Class 5A Gulf Breeze (7-3) and Class 4A Marianna (8-2).

Visiting Cottondale is 4-6 this year, a record that was only good enough for the runner-up spot in District 2-1A.  The Chiefs are, without a doubt, heavily favored for a strong win Friday night to advance to the Regionals on November 23 against favorite Graceville or Freeport.

Game Info:
Northview hosts Cottondale, 7:30 p.m. in Bratt. Admission is $8 (set by the FHSAA, not the school). There are no student discounts, no elementary discounts, no free admission for employees and no passes. Parking is $2.

    It’s the Florida High School Athletic Association’s decision on the admission.
