Northview has an explosive offense that averages over 50 points a game and over 500 yards of total offense.
The Chiefs have four possible Division I prospects on their squad: Kyle Williams, Jonathan Andrews, Mandell Smith, and Leonte Wright.
The defense also has their share of stars with linebacker Chase Lashley, linebacker O'Neil Dubose, defensive lineman Tony Stallworth, and defensive back John Madison..
The Chiefs manhandled the Florida High School Seminoles 47-13 last Friday night in Northview.
