Northview coach Marcell Perez on facing No. 1 Paraclete: “It’s going to be an old-school game where it’s going to be about who’s standing last.”

northfootNorthview High School football coach Marcel Knows exactly what to expect when Paraclete comes to town on Friday to play his Vikings in the semifinals of the CIF-Southern Section Mid-Valley Division playoffs.
The only question is whether his team can stop what’s coming?
“They play sound football and they do good things,” Perez said of the No. 1 seed Spirits. “They’re a very good football team. A lot of athletes. It helps when you have the Jimmys and Joes, for sure.
“It’s going to be an old-school game where it’s going to be about who’s standing last.”
Northview enters Friday’s game in the midst of one of the best seasons in school history. The Vikings are 11-1 and are in the semifinals for the first time since 1997. But Paraclete (9-3) is the No. 1 seed for many reasons, one of the biggest being running back Melquise Stovall.
Stopping Stovall is going to be the focal point of the Vikings’ defensive game plan.
