00Chargers

From what I've been hearing, there are some injuries that could hamper Covington. I also hope that last week's showing in the jamboree is not repeated. I'm sure Kirby will clean up the mistakes and Covington will be ready to play Friday night. I think Covington will keep it closer than last year, however, I feel that Munford has too much talent and experience and will pull this one out by a touchdown or so. As with an rival game, anything could happen. GO CHARGERS!

JoeBlow, Haywood's talent does not match up with Covington's...it's superior bottom line. They were bigger, faster, and deeper. They consistently put multiple kids into the SEC/ACC and other FBS teams. Covington cannot say that. As far as Munford goes, Covington made a lot of mistakes that contributed to that 28-7 final including multiple onside kicks and turnovers resulting in short fields for the Cougars and keeping the ball out of Covington's hands. Yes, Munford's D performed very well against Covington, but IMO that game is closer if both teams are mistake free with no turnovers. And remember, both, Haywood and Munford are UNDEFEATED teams in higher classifications...everyone else, Covington has dominated. I do believe that East Nashville has more athletes than Covington and probably should win that game if it happens. I'm not gonna bet on it though, because I've seen a Covington team go to Nashville and play a PC with much more talent and come out on top and then play them within a point a couple years later. These Nashville teams see a lot of the same thing all year and are sometimes surprised by different offenses late in the playoffs. So I'm not gonna say Covington will be embarrassed whatsoever at this point. These are insider takes btw. You may be right, we shall see.

I agree with parts of this. However, the gap between Alcoa and other 3A teams is massive. Covington will walk to the semis this year and having a home game against an East Nashville more than likely could go either way in my opinion. I think silver balls are very attainable with this team.

Tomcats are very physical…my bet it that they will go to Chattanooga…good game! Chargers played tough…they will definitely make the semis at least!

The cellar off the square.

Also, one year ago they went to Brownsville and came away with a shut-out. How? Having no passing attack at all and being one dimensional. Haywood has a lot more talent than they did 2 years ago and we had an E. Flowers that could power his way up the middle at that time. This is a different game and we have a QB that is able to sling it, so I believe that will be a key to winning if we do. Just my opinion. Hoping for a good, clean game. GO CHARGERS!

I think to compete in this game, Covington will need to come out with more of a balanced attack with at least 10-15 pass attempts and a strong up the middle ground and pound effort. If Covington tries to do the normal Wing-T thing, I think it could be a long night. We see the Wing-T faulter some when Covington goes up against a similar talent level, which I think Haywood has plenty of. I believe our defense will be the toughest that Haywood has faced so far, however, they will still score plenty of points. Covington needs more than 30 to win this game IMO, that'll be a tough task. Looking forward to the atmosphere and a great game. GO CHARGERS!

34-0 Covington

Give credit to Munford…they have a squad! But yes Covington has some work to do, I hope they can make the needed adjustments.

28-7 Cougars Final

Looking like it's going to be a BIG atmosphere tomorrow night! The weather will be PERFECT and they are planning for an Alumni Tailgate for Munford and Covington with a DJ, food trucks and vendors during pregame. I hear they are expecting 5000-7000 people, so get there early for descent parking. 1 MORE DAY!

Not gonna lie, I'm concerned about this game. I think Munford is way underrated and they have a STUD at quarterback and Covington has yet to figure out their offense. If Covington thinks they come into this game with an easy W, it's going to be a long night for the Chargers. I have a lot of faith in the Covington defense and I think turnovers will be the key to this ballgame. I'm sure Kirby has a few tricks up his sleeve as well. GO CHARGERS! It should be an awesome atmosphere this Thursday.

I think Covington has a lot of key pieces to make a deep run this year. I watched the South Side scrimmage and the first team defense is very very stout. Over the entirety of the their reps, SS was held to negative yardage. The offensive starters for Covington could get big chunks and put together drives but seemed to have trouble getting into the endzone (pretty sure that will be fixed). AC Mason picked the ball and turned on that next level speed that he possesses when needed, he will be fun to watch! I think that Covington's QB situation is better this year and the line has good size. They team is physically very strong and puts in a lot of work in the weight room. I fell that this team can make the SHIP if they can stay healthy. I have done a little research on Alcoa, and apparently they have, again, a very strong team ranked 3rd in the state (all classifications). I'd predict an Alcoa/Covington title game. Ready for the season to start. Is the Covington Jamboree only Covington vs UC? Are there any other teams playing?

KEEP FIGHTING EAST NASTY!

Alcoa definitely fumbled that on the 1...got away with that. That really sucks for East Nashville.
