    The defense for the Chiefland High School varsity team hasn’t faced many teams that throw as often as Baldwin. They have faced no one with a quarterback like Jordan Mullis.

    The Newberry varsity volleyball team showed the difference a month in between games, and a few unstoppable outside hitters, can make on the court.
    The Panthers beat Chiefland 3-0 (25-12),(25-16), (25-17) on Oct. 23, advancing to the district championship game and clinching a spot in the regional tournament. The Panthers went on to beat Union County in the tournament finals.

  • A tough one to take

    This one wasn’t fun.
    The running game, which had worked so well for so many games, couldn’t get anything going.
    The defense, which seemed to shut down nearly every opponent, couldn’t seem to get off the field.
    And Chiefland’s rivals from the other side of the Suwannee once again walked off the field celebrating.
    The Union County loss was about as solid a loss as any. The Newberry loss was tough, but understandable. The Dixie County loss was simply brutal.

    The Bronson Eagles pushed through Hawthorne’s defense, leading 22 to 8 at half time, though time and the Hornets’ tough running game wore down the Eagles. Hawthorne prevailed with a 32 to 22 win over the Eagles.
    “The team’s effort was exceptionally good, but Montrez Jackson stood out with over 100 rushing yards at half time”, head coach Cameron Porch said about his team’s effort.

  • Bronson looks to turn season...

    Bronson outplayed Hilliard in the fourth quarter of the teams’ game on Oct. 19, outscoring the Flashes 8-6 and making two trips inside the red zone.
    The first three quarters didn’t go as well.
    Hilliard (6-2) ran over Bronson (1-6), literally and figuratively in a 54-8, mercy-rule shortened game. The Flashes scored on every one of their possessions in the first half, picking up over 400 yards of offense in the process.

  • A new kind of rival

    There are many different types of games.
    Subsequently, there are many different ways to win games.
    Chiefland showed it knew another way to win with a victory in the first half of its back-to-back match-ups with its archrivals. Heading into Friday’s game at Dixie County, the Indians are going to be tested in another, more challenging way.
    The Indians have won in “upsets” (Lecanto), evenly-matched teams (Hilliard), teams they should beat (Crescent City and P.K. Yonge). Last week’s game against Williston provided another twist.
