SEASON PREVIEW: With key contributors back, Knights have chance to have strong year
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
Entering his 11th season as the head football coach at Northview High School, Mark Raetz owns a .730 winning percentage (76-28 record). During that span, the Knights had three years – 2015, 2018 and 2021 – where they won either nine or 10 games. The common denominator between those three seasons? Having experienced skill position players (quarterback, running back and wide receiver/tight end) back as upperclassmen...

SEASON PREVIEW: With experience under their belts, quarterbacks looking to lead Knights
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
Make no mistake about it, Northview, over the course of head coach Mark Raetz’s 11-year tenure as head coach, has been a smash-mouth, ground-and-pound type of offense that uses the running game as its bread and butter. That also means having a versatile player at the quarterback position who can throw the ball with pinpoint accuracy while also being a true dual threat with his legs...

SEASON PREVIEW: Lee takes over as lead running back with young Knights behind him
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
Over the last several years, Northview has used the running back position on the field as a timeshare of sorts. With so many talented runners, all of whom also played on the defensive side of the ball, Northview head coach Mark Raetz opted to spread the carries around in an effort to keep everyone happy and healthy...

SEASON PREVIEW: Receiving core ready to go after having success last season
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
At the start of the high school football season last year, Northview, admittedly, wasn’t 100 percent sure what it had at the receiver position. It had nothing to do with the talent spread throughout the depth chart, but instead, it was due to the team’s top two options – then-freshman Avery Perry and then-junior Luke Marlow – dealing with various injuries that left the rest of the group full of inexperienced players...

SEASON PREVIEW: Northview poised to lean upon inexperienced and athletic linemen
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
Take a look at the players that represented Northview at this summer’s Wabash Valley Football Coaches Association Game and it’s not hard to see why the 2022 team’s strength came up front on the offensive and defensive lines. But losing four starters from the offensive line that opened up holes for the Knights rushing attack leaves some openings that will be filled by some newer faces, said head coach Mark Raetz, with Aiden Swearingen being the lone holdover...

SEASON PREVIEW: Northview’s secondary prepared to tackle challenge of passing attacks
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
Set to play against several strong passing attacks this fall, Northview has a returning secondary that should be up for the challenge. The Knights bring back their starting safeties in Luke Marlow, who recorded one interception and deflected three other passes, and Tyler Lee, who deflected five passes. They’ll be flanked by a combination of Slade Fell and Keegan Allender, who will be making their varsity debuts at strong safety...

SEASON PREVIEW: Knights set to take kicking competition into regular season
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
While it may go unnoticed at times, the importance of the special teams unit on a high school football team is invaluable to their success throughout the fall. And over the last several years, Northview has thrived there with its punting strengths and kickoff and punt return abilities...

But it can get tiresome if animals are creating a problem in your yard. Brazil Assistant Police Chief Dennis Archer explains that animal-related disputes are common at the department...

Northview runs wild in season-opening drubbing of Terre Haute North
(High School Sports ~ 08/18/23)
If Northview’s coaching staff could have written the perfect script for how its high school football season opener at Terre Haute North would go, it’s hard to envision the first half going any better than they could’ve ever imagined. In their five possessions on offense, the Knights found paydirt all five times while also holding the hosts off the scoreboard entirely, and in doing so, it sucked the air out of the home team and their fans seated directly behind their bench...
