A 2025 season that has started in three different ways for the Simpson family finally aligned itself on a pivotal week. Graham and Westview outlasted a fiery Lausanne squad in the fourth quarter. Jason and UT Martin blew the doors off of Ohio Valley rival Southeast Missouri. Ty and Alabama ended the longest active home winning streak in college football. 

Westview opened the 2025 season at home in Hardy Graham Stadium, they would have to wait 35 days before playing back in Martin again. The game was worth the wait as Westview knocked off an uber talented Lausanne team 37-34.

On Saturday August 9, the Weakley County Sports Hall of Fame will officially induct seven new members.

It has been almost eight months since Westview has gotten to put pads on and hit someone other than themselves in live game action. On Friday, the Chargers lined up across the ball from Huntingdon in their first scrimmage of the preseason.

In the 2024 season, no one challenged Westview until the regular season finale, when the Chargers beat Covington 59-54 in a region championship shootout. Last season’s order of finish saw Westview take the top spot, followed by Covington, Dyersburg and Bolivar as the top four. Ripley, McNairy Central, Scotts Hill and Liberty rounded out the bottom half of the region.

Before the third season of play in the OVC-Big South, the conference has announced their offensive players to watch. Five Skyhawks grace the list.

Sophomore Westview quarterback, Graham Simpson, has picked up an offer from the University of Alabama.

With the athletic dead period in full effect, what better time is there than now to get to know the Westview Chargers’ opponents for the 2025 season? This year introduces some unfamiliar foes in the non-region portion of their schedule, a restructured region, and only nine games for the time being. Let’s take a deep dive.
