Northview QB Club To Businesses: Show Your Support For The Chiefs

December 3, 2012

Northview’s Quarterback Club is leading the charge in asking all Escambia County businesses (both Florida and Alabama) to show their unwavering support for the Northview Chiefs as they prepare for their final showdown of the 2012 season against Trenton at the Citrus Bowl this Friday night.

“We are the only school in Escambia County, Florida, who is still in the playoffs right now,” QB Club President Toney Simpson said.  ”We need our county and our local communities to stand behind these kids.  I mean, really stand behind them.”

“This is what high school football is all about. This is what any athlete works his whole season for. This is it in a nutshell.”

Simpson adds that anyone, male or female, who is currently an athlete or has ever been an athlete knows what Friday night means to the Chiefs.

“This is not about if you are a Panther, a Royal, a Tiger or an Eagle.  This is about supporting a group of young men who have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; something that many athletes have only dreamed about.  This is about helping them get there and showing them that you’re behind them, win or lose. We are asking all businesses to put up on their billboards or marquees something showing encouragement for the Chiefs.  The boys will be leaving Wednesday or Thursday, so the businesses will need to do this quickly.  We want them to know we believe in them.  Our kids and families support Pensacola, Jay, Milton, Pace, Atmore, Brewton — all over. I think everyone around here supports each other. We would like to see this support from our communities right now.”

The Chiefs will travel to Orlando’s Citrus Bowl where they will play undefeated Trenton High at 7:07 EST Friday evening.  This is the first time in the history of Northview High School that the football team has made it through Round 3 and is on its way to Orlando.

“We just would like to see businesses and any community member who wants to to please encourage and recognize our young men with outdoor signs. This is big. We would do this for any school who has made it this far. This isn’t just about building up the Chiefs. This is about building up young men.  They just happen to be ours this time!”  Simpson said.

    >> I heard that bright house cable will be carrying the game. What channel will it come on if I have Direct tv? Or will I even be able to watch it?

    Per a Bright House regional manager — the Bright House Sports Network is not available in this area.

    NorthEscambia.com is working on a LIVE VIDEO broadcast. Details will be published as soon as available.

    >>>It would be awesome if someone could find out about the buses

    It does not appear there will be any more spirit buses available….there are none for available for them to rent in the area other than ones that would be over $100 per person.

    It would be awesome if someone could find out about the buses. Like how much are they and if they are coming straight back and when they are leaving Friday. I’ve heard that it was $30 and $50 for a seat. And I’ve also heard that they are coming back after the game and they are staying the night. People don’t really have a clue as to what’s going on. It might be too late to ask this but Northview is trying to get another bus.
