Coming off of a trip to the semifinals in 2010, the Northview Chiefs were viewed as one of the top contenders in Class 1A during the 2011 season and they put up a fight all the way up to the semifinals in December.

The Chiefs finished the season 8-4 giving head coach Sid Wheatley his third straight winning season in as many seasons as the leader for the Bratt, Fla. school.

For his success on the field this season, Wheatley has been selected as the 2011 The Atmore Advance’s 2011 Head Coach of the Year.
Wheatley took over the Chiefs three seasons ago following former coach Cody Keene’s departure and quickly turned the Chiefs into a winning program again.

During his three seasons with Northview, the Chiefs have only gotten better with things looking bright for the future.
This season’s team won its second district championship in a row and also set a record for points scored in a game with 67. The record came in a 67-14 win over Wewa in the playoffs.

Wheatley’s career record with Northview sits at 27-8.
