Baker Downs Northview
November 17, 2018
The Northview Chiefs lostin the regional semifinals to the Baker Gators 38-14 Friday night in Baker.
The Chiefs headed into the semifinal matchup looking for a win, and looking to honoring teammate Dariontae Richardson. The junior had a heart attack last Saturday just hours after a 40-14 Chiefs win over Graceville. He continues to recover in a Mobile hospital.
Northview carried Richardson’s jersey to the coin toss and as they ran onto the field.
The first quarter remained scoreless until the final minute. Baker took a 6-0 lead with 36 seconds in the quarter, but as the quarter expired, Northview’s Seth Killam scored on a 54 yard quarterback keeper. With a good kick from the Chiefs to give Northview a 7-6 lead, the Baker Gators were behind for the first time this entire season.
Baker regained the lead with a touchdown with just under six minutes to go in the half and failed at a two point conversion. Baket hit the endzone again and their two-point plans were spoiled by a host of Chiefs. Headed into halftime, Baker held a 18-7 lead.
After another Baker TD, the Chiefs scored their second touchdown of the night with a 1-yard run from Trent Peebles with 7:55 for a score of 25-14.
Northview ended with a winning 8-5 season.
Baker advances to their fifth straight regional final next Friday night against Vernon. Vernon defeated Jay 40-0 Friday night.

Praying For #10: Northview Football Player Suffers Heart Attack
November 16, 2018
As the Northview Chiefs head into the second round of the state playoffs tonight, they have winning on their minds. But they are also thinking about teammate Dariontae Richardson who suffered a heart attack hours after the Chiefs’ win last Friday night.
Richardson made several key plays for the Chiefs in their win against Graceville. He was not injured in the game.
But by Saturday morning, the 16-year old was found at home not breathing. His mother performed CPR until an ambulance arrived. He was transported to Atmore Community Hospital and airlifted to a Mobile hospital where he is continuing to recover.
“Thank you all for your prayers. Dariontae is still making improvements. Please continue to keep him and his family in your prayers. #chiefstrong #prayforten #gochiefs,” the Northview Quarterback Club posted on their Facebook page.
“He has a long road ahead of him,” Northview Principal Gayle Weaver said during a School Advisory Council meeting. She said he is expected to remain in the hospital for several more days. “He is a really good guy, and we are all thinking about him.”
The Chiefs will honor Richardson Friday night as they take on the Gators in Baker.
