James Corbin knows exactly how long it’s been since Chiefland last beat Williston in football. It was in October 2002 when the Indians won 20-18 at home. Corbin, like the rest of his team mates, was in elementary school. His head coach was playing football for Oklahoma Panhandle State University. No one had heard of iPods, youtube or Facebook.
In short, it was a long time ago.

Though the high school football season is technically more than half-way over, this is the true midpoint of Chiefland’s season. Heading into its bye-week the Indians are an impressive 4-2 with both losses coming in close games at Union County and last Friday against Newberry. Both teams are ranked near the top of class 1A.
No matter what happens in the second half, Chiefland’s season has been, at the very least, a tremendous improvement from recent history. But that alone won’t get them into post season play.

The Newberry High School varsity football team defeated Chiefland 16-7 in the teams' game Friday night. Chiefland (4-2) dropped the home game to its district rival and also fell to 0-2 in the district. 

Newberry (4-2, 1-0 in district 1A-7) dominated the second half on the ground. The Panthers picked up four first downs on third-down conversions and allowed the Indians only one possession in the fourth quarter. Chiefland executed only five total offensive plays in the second half. 

 Unable to overcome a late touchdown, the Chiefland High School varsity football team fell 12-6 to Union County in the teams' game in Lake Butler Friday night.
Union County quarterback Chandler Mann threw a 22-yard touchdown pass to Dylan Clark with less than four mintues left in the game, giving the Tigers (4-0, 1-0 District 1A-7) a 12-6 lead. Chiefland (3-1, 0-1) went 4-and-out on its ensuing possesion, giving the ball back to Union County, which ran out the clock to end the game.
