Fourth-Ranked Blountstown Stops Northview 35-19

September 15, 2018

The Northview Chiefs lost a hard-fought game 35-19 on the road Friday night against the Blountstown Tigers, the state’s fourth-ranked team in 1A.

The Chiefs and the  Tigers were both 2-1 headed into Friday night’s contest as the Chiefs were looking for payback for a 46-point loss to the Tigers last year in Bratt.

“It was a hard-fought game,” Northview Coach Derek Marshman said. “I’m proud of how our kids battled, battled back from 20-6.”

Northview took an early 6-0 lead on their first possession of the game, but Blountstown answered with 20 points to make it 20-6 by the end of the first.

“We had two good opportunities in the fourth that we just could not capitalize on, including a tough interception…We are going to get back excited and show improvements to get back on a winning track to get to 3-2,” Marshman said.

Northview will host Holmes County next Friday night at 7:00.
