Send Off The Chiefs Today; Purchase Game Tickets At NHS

December 5, 2012

The Northview Chiefs will hit the road for Orlando today, and you’ll have the chance to take part in the sendoff.

The varsity football players and coaches, varsity cheerleaders, Tribal Beat Band, dance team, NJROTC color guard, and their sponsors and coaches will be treated to a Chiefs breakfast at the school (not open to the public).

A send-off will take place at Northview High School at 1:00 p.m. with the band, cheerleaders, dance team and the entire school cheering on their state champ contenders as they load onto charter buses. The send-off on campus is not open to the public, but Chiefs fans area asked to line the highways in several locations to cheer on the Chiefs as they depart.

In Bratt, fans should line Highway 4 from Northview High west to Highway 99 (the “Bratt Crossroads”).  Once the Chiefs depart Northview, they will travel to Bratt Elementary and Ernest Ward Middle School where students will cheer them on. (Once again, the on-campus events at Bratt and Ernest Ward are not public.) In Walnut Hill, fans can line Highway 97 between the Ernest Ward “bus loop” entrances south to Highway 99A and Highway 99A to the Ernest Ward gym.

The team buses will then travel back past Northview to Byrneville Elementary School, and then to Century, were businesses and residents are urged to show their support by lining Highway 4 (east and west), and Highway 29 between West Highway 4 and East Highway 4. The buses are estimated to arrive in Century between 1:30 and 1:45 p.m.

Residents and businesses in Jay are also planning to line Highway 4 to support the Chiefs as they pass through Jay.

Tickets: Tickets for Friday night’s Class 1A championship game in Orlando’s Citrus Bowl will be on sale through noon Thursday at Northview High School. All tickets are $12. Per FHSAA policy, there are no discount tickets and no passes available.

NorthEscambia.com will have live score updates during Friday night’s game, and we will provide access to live streaming video of the game.

    The bus that is going to the game and coming back the same night for $65.00 is being set by Tara Jones. She is a NHS cheerleader mom. Northview buses are sold out and have people on the waiting list with over 50 people. You can contact Tara at 449-0708 as soon as possible because her bus only holds 47 people.

    Yes the students (from EWMS) who attend the game will be excused for Friday only. District exams begin next week for science.

    Will the students have an “excused” absence from Northview on Friday if they attend the game?

    You have to contact the school and speak with Vicki Godwin.

    Bus tickets are $40.00
    Leaving Friday morning @ 6am
    Coming back Saturday
    Hotel is $73.18 this is with tax @ Coco Key Water Resot

    I heard that the buses are sold out but there is another bus that is going and coming back the same night and the tickets are $65.00. This bus is not going through the school. A parent that has a cheerleader has organized this bus. I just don’t know who you would contact about it.

    Does anyone know when the Spirit buses will be leaving? And how much it would cost to ride one?
