West Beats East In All-Star Game; Northview’s Woods Named MVP
December 15, 2012
The West defeated the East 15-6 in the 9th Annual Subway High School All-Star football game on a defense powered by a Northview Chief.
The West took the lead near the half on a 96-yard touchdown run from Escambia’s T.J. Myers, 7-0 West. The East scored in the fourth, cutting the West lead to 7-6. The West scored again with under a minute to go with a 30-yard TD run from Tate’s Lorenzo Long. Pensacola High’s Blake Norwood found fellow PHS Tiger Jonathon Bennett with the two pointer to seal the 15-6 West win.
Northview’s Roderick Woods was named the West defensive MVP with a game leading 13 tackles, and Trebian Suggs of Pine Forest was named West offensive MVP.
It was a bit of sweet redemption for Woods, who was forced to sit out the last three regular season games and entire Chiefs run to a state title due to reaching the FHSAA age limit.

The Northview Chief’s Class 1A state football championship trophy received very special treatment as it was transported from Orlando back to Bratt.
Toby Weaver, son of Northview Principal Gayle Weaver and her late husband Tommy Weaver, kept the trophy for his boys after the win. Toby, mom Gayle said, held the trophy close practically the entire trip back from Orlando. He even kept the trophy in his room Sunday night before delivering it Monday morning to head coach Sid Wheatley at Northview.
Toby is a Friday night fixture on the Northview sidelines, cheering on his Chiefs and motivating the team. Under his No. 7 jersey during the state championship game, Toby wore a t-shirt that simply said “Tommy”. The Chief’s 2012 football season was dedicated to his dad Tommy, a beloved Northview teacher and coach who passed away in March.
