Mountain View Football

     Mountain View High School, GHSA Region Eight member of Class 7-A, announces its 2022 Football Varsity schedule.  Third-year Head football coach, John Poitevint, became the 5th Head Coach in school history in May of 2020 and continues to build on the success of a program that has made the playoffs in five of the last six years.  The Bears are excited to be playing their home games a newly refurbished Mountain View Community Stadium.  Over the course of the summer 2021, GCPS installed a new state of the art field turf playing surface.  The field compliments the already newly installed eight-lane track.   

     The Bears schedule features competition against several top-caliber programs.  With games against eight 2021-playoff teams, including both the 2021 GHSA 6-A State Champion, as well as the 2021 GHSA 7-A State Champion, the Bears will play one of the toughest schedules in the state this year.

     Mountain View will open the fall campaign at home on August 19 versus Shiloh HS (5-7).  Next, the Bears will travel to perennial powerhouse Gainesville HS (5-5), who hired former Hoover, AL Head Coach Josh Niblett.  The Bears will then travel to Lambert HS (7-4) on September 2.  The Bears will follow this up by traveling to Jackson Co. HS (5-6).  The Bears will close out their non-region play hosting Lanier HS (4-6) on September 16.

     The Bears will open up their tough region play, hosting 2021 Final Four playoff team Dacula HS (9-5) on September 30 and then travel to 2021 7-A State Champions Collins Hill HS (15-0) on October 14.  Next, the Bears will visit "The Castle" as they take on Central Gwinnett HS (1-9) on October 21.  The Bears then host new region member and 2021 6-A State Champions Buford HS (14-1) on October 28.  Finally, honoring our seniors at home for Senior Night on November 4 versus Mill Creek HS (11-2) in the "Battle of Hamilton Mill Road".  

     Head Coach John Poitevint states, “the quality of football programs on the schedule is always off the charts.  Our young men and our coaching staff work year-round to prepare for the rigors of such a schedule.  We seek daily improvement because you're either getting better or getting worse.  At the end, our goal remains the same… to play for a state championship in December in Atlanta.”
