Vernon Tops Northview (With Photo Gallery)

August 18, 2018

The Northview Chiefs fell to Vernon Friday night in Bratt during their annual Kickoff Classic.

In a varsity second half, Vernon topped Northview 20-7.

“There were times we were competing really well, and there were times we were not…..I was a little disappointed in our energy toward the end of the game. We will definitely work on that,” Coach Derek Marshman said. “On defense, we’ve got to get batter at tackling. Offensively, I thought we executed well at times, but we’ve got to get better up front.”

In a junior varsity first half, Vernon  beat Northview 20-6. The Yellow Jackets do not have a JV team, so they fielded some of their varsity players.

“The JV competed really hard,” Marshman said. “Our JV kids, battled, battled, battled. Eventually they ran out gas a little bit. We are not 100 percent game shape yet. They are going to win some football games this year, and they have a bright future ahead of them.”

The Northview Chiefs will kickoff their regular season next Friday night against Lighthouse Christian. Lighthouse does not have a football stadium; the game will be played at the Brent Athletic Park on North W Street at Beverly Parkway at 7:00 p.m.
