Northview, Jay Out Of District 2-1A Tourney

February 9, 2013

Both the Northview Chiefs and the Jay Royals saw their seasons come to an end Friday with losses in the District 2-1A Boys Basketball semifinal round in Jay.

Holmes County 77, Northview 63

Northview lost a hard fought battle with Holmes County, 77-63.

For Northview, it was a battle against the star of the Blue Devils team — 6-foot-10 Chris Walker, a University of Florida signee that has been ranked as the No. 10 overall prospect in the country.  Robinson scored 42 on the night, just ahead of Northview junior guard Neino Robinson with 41 points.

The Blue Devils jumped out to a 18-8 lead at the end of one and held a 39-25 advantage at the half. By halftime, Robinson had scored 15 of the Chiefs’ 25 points. With about four minutes to go, a Chiefs free throw from Robinson tied it up 61-61, but Holmes County quickly recovered for the win.

Chipley 65, Jay 34

Also in Jay Friday night, Chipley took command early to beat the Jay Royals 65-34.

Bonifay and Chipley will play at 7 p.m. Saturday for the District 2-1A  championship.
