There’s nothing normal about the high school football season Northview is set to begin this evening against Terre Haute North. With the different protocols put into place to best combat COVID-19 entering the Knights’ locker room, things have changed significantly in terms of preseason and game day preparations, traveling, practicing and hydrating as well as coaching and observing from the sideline...

2020 Northview Football Preview: Garrison back under center for the Knights
(High School Sports ~ 08/21/20)
Back in 2018, then-sophomore Keegan Garrison was thrown into the fire of being the team’s starting quarterback after Trey Shaw went down with a season-ending injury. Garrison more than held his own in his two games played and then proceeded to carry that into a solid junior campaign that saw him throw for 1301 yards and 12 touchdowns and run for 334 yards and 11 more touchdowns...

2020 Northview Football Preview: Experienced offense ready for another big season
(High School Sports ~ 08/21/20)
One season ago, Northview’s offense averaged 311.1 yards per game. That number has a chance to climb higher in 2020 as the Knights return a plethora of weapons for quarterback Keegan Garrison to get the ball to. Led by running back Korbin Allen, who ran for 1118 yards and 13 touchdowns and had 14 receptions that went for 176 yards and two more touchdowns last season, and Ilias Gordon, who helps open holes for Allen to run through from his fullback position, while also serving as a swiss army knife for head coach Mark Raetz with his ability to move around the field, it’s safe to say one of the best backfields in the area is located in Brazil.. ...

(High School Sports ~ 08/21/20)
Last season, Northview’s defense was among the best in the area. One of the main reasons for the Knights holding opposing offenses to 18 points per game was the play of defensive lineman Ilias Gordon. The senior defensive end wreaked havoc in the backfield with his 40 total tackles (22 solo, 18 assisted on), 16.0 tackles for a loss, nine sacks and two fumbles recovered...

2020 Northview Football Preview: Corrigan tasked with kicking it through the uprights
(High School Sports ~ 08/21/20)
Over the last few seasons, the kicking game has been accounted for with Steven Thomas and Dylan Boor booting the ball through the uprights – both on field goal attempts and point after attempts – and to the opposition on fourth down punts. They've since graduated, though, vacating those important spots that often go under the radar...

2020 Northview Football Preview: Young Northview line poised to emerge
(High School Sports ~ 08/21/20)
While the majority of the Knights on the offensive side of the ball return from last year and have been put through the varsity ringer a time or two, the boys up front have not. That isn’t to say Northview head football coach Mark Raetz lacks confidence in them because it’s quite the opposite...
