1A Northview Beats 4A Marianna (With Photo Gallery)

September 6, 2014

With a the game winning touchdown from Keondrae Lett the 1A Northview Chiefs earned a tough win over the 4A Marianna Bulldogs 24-20 Friday night at Tommy Weaver Memorial Stadium in Bratt.

The Chiefs’ Camerson Newsome also scored a touchdown with a 33-yard run, and Nick Lambert scored in the second quarter on pass from Gavin Grant.

The Bulldogs drove down to the Northview 8 in the final plays of the game. But the Northview defense held the Bulldogs in the rain, recording a couple of quarterback sacks to force a turnover on downs.

“What a win, what a game, what a job to persevere by our guys,”  Northview Coach Sid Wheatley said.  “We had a five minute period that was disastrous for us when they went ahead 20-12, but we stayed with what we do and our offense took the ball and scored. And our defense turned it up and had those big stops down here at the end when we needed it most.”

The Chiefs will be looking to improve to 3-0 next week when they host the 1A rivals Tigers of Chipley.
