Baker Beats Northview For 1-1A Championship (With Gallery)
November 1, 2014
The Baker Gators beat the Northview Chiefs 35-27 for the District 1-1A championship Friday night in Baker. As district runner-ups, the Chiefs will still advance to the state playoffs.
It was a disappointment for the Chiefs as they looked to avenge a loss to Baker last year, and a game that left Head Coach Sid Wheatley disappointed.

“We didn’t play well enough to win a football game tonight. We have a good football team, but we didn’t play like we had a good football team tonight. We didn’t play well enough on offense, we didn’t play well enough on defense, special teams we turned the ball over a couple of times, and they capitalized on it,” Wheatley said. “That’s basically the story.”
The loss means the Chiefs (6-2) will be on the road in the first round of the playoffs against the Vernon Yellowjackets (8-1) on November 14, while Baker will host Graceville.
“We are going to have to be tough and win a game on the road and try to advance that way as opposed to getting a runner-up and home, now we’ve got to go play a district champ on the road,” Wheatley said.
Baker took an early lead in the first quarter, with the Chiefs tying it up 7-7 with a Tydre Bradley touchdown with 2:19 to go in the first. The Chiefs next score came from Austin Whitehead from one yard out
Before the playoffs begin, the Chiefs still have one regular season game, their Senior Night, at home next Friday night against Blountstown.
