Northview Beats Holmes County In District Tourney; Championship Tonight

February 7, 2015

The Northview Chiefs are headed toward a district basketball championship showdown tonight after a close 48-46 win over Holmes County Friday night in Bratt.

The Chiefs led 27-20 at halftime. Holmes County took a 31-29 lead with 2:11 remaining in the third period, but that lead was short-lived as the Chiefs regained the advantage by the end of the third. By 4:31 in the fourth, the teams were tied,  but Holmes County moved ahead 46-40 with 1:45 to go. The Chiefs were not going down without a fight, powering back to a 46-46 tie with 1:01 remaining in the game, and sinking the game winning shot just before the buzzer.
