Chipley Downs The Chiefs
September 14, 2013
The defending 1A state champion Northview Chiefs have next week off, and they’ll need it to recover, rethink and regroup after a Friday night’s 47-18 loss to the Chipley Tigers.
“We were up 18-13 in the second quarter and they just took away our momentum,” Northview head coach Sid Wheatley said. Chipley outscored the Chiefs by 14-0 in the third quarter and another 12-0 in the second quarter.
The Chiefs were plagued by mistakes, including an unusual number of bad snaps from the line of scrimmage, throughout Friday night’s road game in Chipley.
“We blew a lot of snaps…I think it was 12 times we just about threw the ball over the quarterback’s head,” Wheatley said. “We probably lost 150 yards just from bad snaps.”
Friday night just wasn’t the expected performance from what was this season’s No. 1 ranked 1A team.
“We have just got to stress the fundamentals of football, and take this loss to develop some mental aggression in the minds of the offensive line. They’ve got to understand how they should feel with they self-inflict a loss like tonight and make sure it never happens again.”
The Chipley Tigers were first on the scoreboard Friday night with a touchdown at the 8:15 mark in the first quarter. By the end of the first, the Tigers sat at first and goal on the four-yard line, going in for a touchdown and 13-0 lead early in the second. The Chiefs answered with a touchdown and a missed extra point attempt, 13-6 Chipley.
With about five minutes in the half, the Chiefs scored on a 40-yard TD pass to Brannon Freeman, cutting their deficit to 13-12. With 3:18 to go before the half, Neino Robinson scored on a 25-yard touchdown run, putting Northview up 18-13. And that was to be the final score of the night for Northview.
Chipley returned the kickoff for a touchdown to take a 21-18 lead at the half.
Freeman and Ladarius Thomas had about 75 yards each Friday night for the Chiefs. In addition to throwing for two touchdowns, quarterback Dalton Tullis had about 237 yards in the air for Northview. Robison had 77 yard on six catches along with his touchdown.
After an open week, the Northview Chiefs will host Choctawhatchee on September 27 before beginning district play in Jay on October 4.

Jay hasn’t play nobody all season if Northview had a schedule like jay they would be 3-0 also but time will tell in 2 weeks when Northview travel to Jay. Let’s GO CHIEFS
We will see royal y’all play some no body teams and talk trash we will make it a point to beat jay worse than they did last year #renew the rivalry
Jay will kill Northview, Royals are three and zero, Coach Smith has gotten rid of dead beat asst coaches and has his team rolling.
Come on boys, you kicked butt last year. Lets do it again! Go Chiefs Go! Shake off those loses and give it all you got.
Playing on the state championship team last year I can tell you, the game is fought and won up front. Northview has alot of talent, no doubt.. Just really young up front. But I know the coaches will get that fixed. no excuses. Chief nation, class of champions
Play as a team. It wasn’t one persons fault, everyone made mistakes. We take the loss as a learning experience. Lets go Chiefs!
unsportsmanlike game–no foul was called nor formal complaint was issued when chipley player knocked down one of the chiefs and choked him–player should have been removed from game
It was not a good game for us but everyone has to remember that for some of us that was our 3rd varsity game we have ever played in and we have faced some tough competition.
If you was there last night you would have seen it was the D line that came up short not the o line except for the snaps
I agree with Coach Wheatley’s comments but also if the offensive starting line is not producing then give your second string players a chance to produce. We have more talent available for use. We are all proud of the boys but we need to get on line with not missing tackels, and try to find some speed with offensive line. Work on fundamentals! We’re proud of you Chiefs! Go Chiefs!!!
So chipley only beat vernon 28 – 13 and jay beat vernon 13 – 0. Come on guys gotta cut out the mistakes and lets go. Nothing that you can’t do.
GO CHIEFS!!!!
