Football Northview is part of an active traditional football rivalry with Crosstown
Dothan High School. This was highlighted in a commencement speech
First Lady Laura Bush gave at nearby
Enterprise High School on May 31, 2008, when she mentioned Northview and Dothan as significant victories for Enterprise. In 2002, former
University of Alabama head football coach
Mike DuBose took over as head football coach at Northview High School. He had previously been named
Southeastern Conference Coach of the Year for the
Crimson Tide before poor seasons and personal controversy caused his firing in 2000. Dothan City school board members voted to hire DuBose, who came in with a wave of publicity and high expectations. However, the Cougars finished with a 0–10 record for the season and DuBose was gone at the end of the year. This was part of a tumultuous period for Northview football, which saw 39 consecutive losses from 2000 to 2004. The team had won the Alabama State Playoff Championships in both 1981 and 1985, and made it to the playoffs five times during the 1990s. ==Notable alumni==
