Baker Beats Northview; Chiefs Still In Playoffs

October 29, 2016

The Baker Gators beat the Northview Chiefs 38-0 Friday night in Baker. With the win, the Baker Gators claimed the 1-1A title, dropping the Chiefs into the runner-up spot.

The Chiefs earned consecutive district titles in 2012 with a 40-6 blowout over Baker, but the Gators have now claimed four straight titles from the Chiefs.

Friday night’s loss was not even a close one, with the Gators dominating the Chiefs in every aspect.

“It was not a good game in any phase of it,” Northview Head Coach Derek Marshman said. “We didn’t play good enough to win. We didn’t coach good enough, we didn’t execute good enough…there’s no excuses for it. They were the better team tonight in every facet of the game.

Next Friday night, the Chiefs have an open date for the final week of the regular season as they prepare for their shot at the road to Orlando.

“We have two weeks to go back and focus on us,” he said. “That’s the beauty of having a bye week right before the playoffs. We don’t have to worry about an opponent next week. It’s like having a faceless opponent that will allow us to focus on getting better at what we do.

In the first round of the playoffs on November 11, the Chiefs (6-4, 1-1) will travel to Graceville (6-3, 4-1) while Baker will host Cottondale. The two winners will face off on November 15, setting up a possible rematch between Northview and Baker.
