Covington will host Hamilton this week to open the playoff season. Not knowing much about Hamilton, I have dug up their season schedule. Here is their record:
Overall record 6-4
Region record 5-2
Home 4-1
Away 2-3
Booker T Washington W 32-18
@ South Gibson L 42-22
@ Wooddale W 42-12
Sheffield L 44-38
Memphis East W 30-22
@ Bolton L 32-6
@ Melrose L 34-0
Raleigh-Egypt W 20-13
Douglas W 36-0
Lakeland Prep W 32-6
So, they come into the playoffs having won three games in a row. I would be interested to see comments from people who have seen them play. What kind of offense do they run? Where is their best talent? Since they played South Gibson County, maybe Man of Millions has some comments.

Tee-Hee. Since both teams are Chargers, your post is amazingly prophetic.
Ha! The Covington Chargers.

Hope the Chargers can pull this one out.

Fortunately we were able to get enough signal to broadcast through a MyFi and to be honest I never had any issues using my cellular to post updates and video clips on social media throughout the night. But as I look ahead to 2024 there are at least four fellow broadcasting crews scheduled to visit Scotts Hill during the regular season. For any of those guys active on here I would plan ahead as our only option was through cellular data.
What was your upload speed?

I may be mistaken. It looked like the East Nashville crowd. I didn’t recognize any of the people at the tent. I figured it would be a bit of a stretch for Dburg people to hire a DJ to come all the way up there.
Check him out sometime. He wanted to do something since it had been over 10 years since Dyersburg had made it to the simi-finals.

I’m going to seek the East Nashville people out. I will probably get there early so I can go to the BYOB fish fry with the DJ they had pregame last time. Looked like BPM’s type of party.
It was a Dyersburg Alum that had the the fish fry. You should check his food truck out on Lake RD on your lunch break.
-
It should be a good ballgame Friday. Hope the Chargers can pull it out.
Go Chargers!
-
The Covington vs Dyersburg will be huge. The coaches know each other pretty good. This will be the third year for this matchup. Hope the Chargers can pull one out at the Historic J.C.Sawyers Stadium.

They will probably bring that loud all brass band.They will play when your team has the ball which is against the rules.Tell the qb to tell the white hat to make them stop or its a penalty
You would think they would bring 100 people to dance to that “all brass band” ! Lol

Dang! Was looking forward to the visiting side to be full.

Will East Nashville bring a big crowd?

Yes. His loss is big. Add that to a few other players out and it makes the game this Friday that much tougher. Hoping Covington can find a way to pull it out.
48 minutes ago, CHARGERFAN said:Yep, AC went down with a knee injury in the Haywood game. He’s had ACL surgery, ending his high school career. You hate to lose an All-State player, but injuries do happen. I’m wishing the best for AC as he rehabs that knee. The Chargers have to push on without him on the field. He’s a big loss, but the next man has to step up and take his place.
The guys have really stepped up with AC going out. I think he would have given us a big help with stopping the pass this week. Our DB’s have to be ready!

I believe it will be a good game as well
It could be. I haven’t seen Pearl in a few years since they moved up to 4A but I know they always have plenty of athletes. I think this one will come down to coaching and Smith and his staff is pretty dang good!
-
I think Pearl will be able to match the athletes that Haywood have. Charger fan but I’m pulling for the Tomcats in this one!

Just watched a replay of the regular season game between these two. Here are some things that happened in that game that I suspect will not happen in the rematch:
- Dyersburg fumbles the kickoff back to the Chargers after the Chargers’ opening TD drive.
- Dyersburg has a punt blocked for a TD
- Covington passes the ball 14 times
- Dyersburg is held to 18 yards rushing, zero yards passing, and no first downs.
I thought that the Trojan defense played better as that game went on. Holding Covington to two field goals in scoring situations was one facet of their defense.
I’m anticipating a real battle tomorrow night. This is Win or Go Home time.
I would have to agree with you. I think Dyersburg will play a much better game. I still don’t think it will be enough to win.
Go Chargers!

You are correct about your two points especially the second one. In fact Dyersburg returned zero starters from last years defense. They will bring back most everyone next year. Doesn’t Covington graduate a lot this year? Seems like the roles may be reversed next year.
Covington will be Covington every year.
-
How much will the cold weather come into play?
-
I know the Trojans will be fired up to knock the Chargers off. I hope we are focused and ready to go from kickoff.
Go Chargers!
-
I hope the Chargers are focused! Get this W and take the playoffs one game at a time.
-
Good luck to both teams! Hope Haywood Bring the Gold home this year!
Go Chargers!
