Chiefs Shut Out Freeport
October 19, 2013
The Northview Chiefs shut out the Freeport Bulldogs Friday night, ending homecoming week with a 35-0 win.
“I thought it was good, especially by the defense,” Northview Coach Sid Wheatley said. “I think we are starting to instill some pride on that side of the ball.”
Freeport managed to cross into the red zone just one time, and they forced to settle for a bumbled field goal attempt. “That was big right there, not to give up any points in the first half,” he said. “I though offensively, our game was good getting it to our play makers and letting them do their job.”

The Chiefs took the lead with 6:42 to go in the first quarter with a 77-yard touchdown run from Keondrae Lett. With 3:42 in the first, Northview scored again on 6-yard run from Lett, and a two-point conversion from quarterback Daulton Tullis to Cameron Newsome was good for a 14-0 Chiefs advantage.
Northview would strike again before the half with a 53-yard reception from Tullis to Robinson. Heading into the half, the Chiefs were up 21-0.
In the second half, Robinson added another touchdown, a 41-yard reception with 8:54 to go, 27-0. And with 6:53 to go in the third, Robinson was hands on a Freeport punt but lost control of the ball. He scooped it up and went about 72-yards for the touchdown, 35-0.
Overall, it was a strong performance for the defending 1A state champs, Wheatley said “You can’t argue with a good solid win at home and getting a shutout.”
The Chiefs improved to 2-0 in district action with two shutouts — Freeport Friday night and 26-0 over Jay two weeks ago.
Northview will be on the road next Friday night to take on Walton High School in Defuniak Springs.

Great game and how cool to have a shutout for Homecoming.
Lots of commitment goes into this, Much Thanks to the Parents for their support and love, to the Coaches for molding individuals into a TEAM, to the Student Body for its Pride and Strength of unity behind the players and to the School Leaders for all the hard work it takes to schedule and prepare for the games and the homecoming festivities. It takes many participants to bring a Winning Team together and that sure works at Northview.
