1A Northview Chiefs Fall To 6A Gulf Breeze Dolphins (With Photo Gallery)
September 12, 2015
The 1A Northview Chiefs took on their second 6A team of the season Friday night, losing to the Gulf Breeze Dolphins 56-24 in Bratt.
The Dolphins took an early 7-0 lead on their opening drive, but the Chiefs made it 7-6 with a 41-yard interception return from Toney Harrison. Luke Ward then returned a Gulf Breeze punt 58 yards to put the Chiefs up 12-7.
In the second, the Chiefs also scored on an 18-yard pass from senior quarterback Gavin Grant to Neikel Robinson. And Grant also tossed a 3-yard pass in the fourth to Jacob Dunsford.
“There were a lot of things I didn’t like tonight,” Northview Head Coach Sid Wheatley said after loss. “We didn’t tackle well; we were undisciplined….We had so many mistakes; it was not a good showing from the defense.”
“We hit a couple of a plays offensively, then we turned the ball over,” he said. “You can’t turn the ball over in games like this….this was not us tonight.”
Northview hits the road next Friday night to take on Chipley. In the meantime, Wheatley said there’s a lot of work ahead next week for the Chiefs.
“We are going to work them over and over on fundamentals to make sure that we are sound,” he said. “Traditionally (Chipley) is a strong football team, and that’s a hard place to go in and win. So I would expect us to be really challenged. Coming off of this loss, we’ve go to regroup in a hurry to get ready for them.”

Why is Northview 1A playing 6A School in the First place! I believe in good compatition but the take a chance on Injuries on players with a team aleast 3 X it size just don’t make Good Sense to me! Just my thoughts ! I could see a 3 A school before the 6A………. Equal ness to me!
I don’t keep up much with Escambia Football but I DO notice Northview as I believe there is some Blackcat Blood still racing through the team. Being an old Century High School graduate is the reason. This week seeing Northview 1-A playing Gulf Breeze 6-A, I say RAVE on Chiefs. 56 to 24 is not a bad score considering the School ratings. I know that the Northview players are just as strong and well coached as Gulf Breeze but I figure Gulf Breeze probably had more men to play and could rest some of their star players over the limited number of players for Northview.. PROUD OF NORTHVIEW. just saying
