Interested to see who some of the top teams in AA ball are. What are the thoughts?

Congrats to Alcoa on the win and congrats to both teams on the great seasons. I thought Covington stuck around for alot longer than most assumed they would, including me. I think these teams were pretty evenly matched.

Wow.....not sure what Covington was doing there. That should be the ball game

Cant believe that play call. Alcoa had been running it down Covington's throat this drive.

WOW. This thing could get interesting

This is a much better game at this point than I thought it would be. Covington looks to have the athletes to compete with Alcoa, which is very surprising to me.

Definitely wasn't the best time for the first turnover of the postseason, but I am still not sure that Alcoa got in on that next TD....

I hope Covington does not make it to the semi's next year, as they will have to put out my team to do so, but if these teams do see each other next year, Covington should co-op with munford and grab their band for a game. I think that would show PC how its done. Probably wouldn't be able to hear the PC band over munford's.

I said it last week and it came back to bite me, but I will say it again, Covington has had a great season but it will end with yet another state runner up. Alcoa is the real deal. Covington is a very good team, but I just don't see how they can beat Alcoa. If I am being honest, I really don't see how they will keep it within 3 TDs. This Covington team has ALOT of heart and determination. They will need every ounce of it Thursday to keep this close. An earlier poster mentioned the conditioning program at Covington. I agree, it has to be one of the best in west Tennessee at least. I have seen them play much larger teams and much smaller teams and they always look like they could play another whole game once the games ends. I think the one thing Covington will have going for them is the fact that this will be a short week. Alcoa may have trouble repping against Covington's offense with such a short turnaround. But then again, that goes both ways. Good luck to both teams next week. I hope its as good a game as last nights PC-Covington matchup.

Dont know if PC was looking ahead at the half, but man it looked like 2 different teams after halftime. Congrats to Covington. What a win. Just imagine if Covington could cherry pick more players

WOW what a game, Covington kicks a game winning 35 yard FG as time expires. Covington came out in the 2nd half and just dominated.

PC forced to punt. Covington with the ball 2 minutes remains. all tied 28-28

Wow, covington goes on a long drive that ends in a TD. Tied again 28-28. Middle 4th quarter.

PC offense makes quick work, they go up after a great kick return and a 1 play drive. 28-21 PC

PC looking a tad tired on defense. Covington controlled the ball for most of the 3rd quarter. Could play a factor in this 4th quarter. Tie ball game 21-21 early 4th.

Wow, looks like we have ourselves a game early in the 3rd.

Thats all fine and well, but if Covington could get 7-12 players from Brighton, who is a 5A school about 5 miles away from Covington High School, who is also playing tonight, I think they would be ALOT better than they are now. And they are pretty good now. You give Covington 3 or 4 of the linemen that Brighton has and it would be tough for a 3A team to beat them. And this is coming from a guy who lives in Gibson Co, who would love for covington to be mediocre every year.

Id imagine if covington was pulling kids from 2 schools with around 1500 total students then they might have some bigger kids.

Covington just does not have the horses. Cant get stops on defense, cant move the ball on offense.

I think PC is going to win, but man will it be funny is Covington wins this....

I have no clue what "the Tim" is, but Covington's offense is certainly not a joke. They can put points up in a hurry. Also, I know PC is a great team, but Covington played some really good teams this year. I watched them play Milan twice, and South Gibson. They also have wins over 4A Crockett Co, who made it to the quarters, and 5A brighton who is still playing as well. Those are pretty good teams, now PC may be better, and probably are, but to say "Covington hasn't played anybody near as good as PC" is foolish. I think PC is going to win this game, but these comments you made were a bit ridiculous.

Honestly do not know how Brighton has made it this far. Never would I have ever thought it would happen. They started out something like 1-3 or 1-4. They played some decent teams throughout the regular season, tho they pretty much lost to every decent team they played. Like I said, I am stunned that they made it this far. That win last week at Henry Co is really impressive.

Actually, Brighton is in Tipton Co, and they are still playing as well, in 5A.

Covington runs a style of the wing-t. They have a qb that can throw it all over the field if he has to. They have the speed of the inner city Memphis schools, and some of the size of the county schools as well. They aren't the biggest team, but they have decent size. The OL is efficient, with a decent combo of size and speed. I heard from someone that the middle school runs the wing-t as well, so by now the kids certainly know what they are doing. They won't be put in a spot that they don't know what to do. Just a matter of doing it. I have been very impressed with them the 3 times I've seen them play this year. They have wins over larger schools in Crockett Co. and Brighton, who is still playing in 5A. I don't look for them to be intimidated by PC at all. I think it will be a very good game. I just thing PC will find a way to win at the end.

Covington has had a good year, but I think it will come to an end this week. Would love to see a team from west tennessee make it to the state championship game in 3A but it will be tough to beat PC in nashville. Going to have to mix in a lot more pass to beat PC. I think it will be a good game, but PC will get the best of covington in the end.
