  • New district slot a good fit for Chiefland

    The tentative realignments of football districts and classifications by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) looks favorable for the Chiefland, as the Indians move down to Class 1A District 5.

  • The season of miracles

    I grew up in New Orleans where most folks believe in ghosts, signs, omens and the power of voodoo right along with that of the Roman Catholic archbishop. I am down with that. My father died shortly after I turned 10. I’ve often wondered if he would be proud of the woman I am. My stepfather died in the early 90s and he never failed to let me know he was proud of me.

    The death that affects me most is my mother’s. For most of our lives we were at odds. Maybe it was because I was so like her. Maybe it was because I never met her dreams for me.

    It took two overtimes to do it, but Chiefland boys finally got the upper hand for a 66-63 win over Interlachen, a streaky team that put the Indians down the first week of the season. Chiefland's defensive hustle kept them in the game even when their turnovers threatened to give it away. For every giveaway on the offensive end, the Indians grabbed a pick at the other end. When it counted, they finally shut the door.
