Chiefs Warm Up For Orlando With Scrimmage Game (Photos)
August 23, 2014
It’s been a couple of years since 1,600 plus North Escambia residents hit the road for Orlando’s Citrus Bowl to watch their beloved Northview Chiefs win a state championship. Last year, the road trips ended in Cottondale with an agonizing regional level loss.
This year, if Coach Sid Wheatley gets his way, Northview fans are going to need to start saving up gas money for Orlando.
The Chiefs held a Garnet and Gold scrimmage game on a very hot Friday night. The Garnet team — coached by Wheatley, Gary Mattes and Logan Weber — won 12-8 over the Gold team — coached by Derek Marshman and Glenn Weber.
“I thought we played hard,” Wheatley said, noting that it’s really hard to evaluate your full team when they are split….We’ve got to be better blockers, better tacklers; we’ve got to get better fundamentally wise.”
The Chiefs will open their regular season on the road at Deane Bozeman School in Panama City. As for earning that Orlando trip, Northview won’t face a district opponent until they host Jay for the Chiefs homecoming on October 3.
