October 22, 2016
The 1A Northview Chiefs beat the 4A Walton Braves 12-10 during Senior Night at Tommy Weaver Memorial Stadium in Bratt.
“It was a great game, two great football teams out here to battle tonight,” Northview Head Coach Derek Marshman said. “It was a battle in every sense of the word — two football teams that did not want to give up or give in. Both teams fought to the very end. It was everything that high school football is made of.”

Northview took a 6-0 lead with 5:47 to go in the first quarter on a 60-yard quarterback keeper from senior Luke Ward. Walton added a touchdown and field goal to take a 10-6 lead with 9:39 remaining in the half.
Then with 8:56 remaining in the fourth quarter, Ward found Hunter Edwards for a 9-yard touchdown (pictured top) go ahead touchdown.
Several Chiefs stepped up on the way to win, Marshman said, including Micheal “MJ” Jones.
“MJ Jones played his tail off. He played a great football game on both sides of the ball. He played a great game defensively all night long…you put him on offense, he makes key blocks, key catches. Linebacker Ohijie Elliot made a great play to force a fumble and a sack to secure the game. Luke Ward played great. And a guy that’s really stepped out on top is senior running back Hunter Edwards…he’s going to run through guys, not run around guys,” he said.
Next week, the Chiefs (6-3, 1-0) will travel to Baker (8-0, 1-0) in a game that will decide the district championship. Both teams are in the 1A playoffs; the winner will have a home stadium advantage while the loser will hit the road in two weeks.
“We have a lot of momentum going into Baker. This was a big win for us tonight, to go undefeated at home and to win on senior night.,” Marshman said. “Next week is what is boils down to. But win, lose or draw, we going to go at it and go on.”
