Chiefs Drop Non-District Game To Blountstown (With Photo Gallery)

November 8, 2014

The Northview Chiefs finished out their regular season with a non-district  28-27 loss to the Blountstown Tigers Friday night at Tommy Weaver Memorial Stadium in Bratt.

The loss was, simply, due to too many mistakes, said Northview head coach Sid Wheatley

“We just had too many mistakes down the stretch. Two different times, we had a two possession lead. That’s when you’ve got to go finish things off, and we didn’t do it,” said  Wheatley.  “And that absolutely killed it.”

The Chiefs took an early 7-0 lead with 9:31 to go in the first quarter on an eight-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Gavin Grant to Cameron Newsome in the end zone.  Blountstown tied it up early in the second with the Chiefs making it 13-7 with 8:19 to go in the second with a 25-yard Nick Lambert touchdown.

Lambert scored again for the Chiefs with 7:57 to go in the third. And the final score of the cold night in Bratt come from Grant with a 60-yard quarterback keeper.

The Chiefs are looking to move on quickly, putting the loss behind them and looking forward to next week and round one of the 1A state playoffs.

“We’ve got to get better and our minds have to get better, because our second season begins now,” Wheatley said. “This game tonight has no bearing on what’s going to take place in the future.”

Next up in the future of the Chiefs are the Vernon Yellowjackets next Friday night on the road.

Wheatley said the team was looking toward a really good week of practice, “we are going to prepare them hard”,  and we are going to on the road and get things done at Vernon.”
