00Chargers

Looks like a high ankle

Milan has a A+ defense for sure!

Lot of gap between our QB 1 and QB 2.....if he can’t get back in I don’t see us winning

Covington QB 1 hurt......not good!!

DEFENSIVE GAME

Ah dang, this is tough......I’ll go 20-14 Covington. What you got?

Yes the firetruck sirens still blare and the cannon still goes off when they run out. We now do fireworks after every score and if we win, they shoot the rest off at the end of the game. Pretty neat.

We have a nice elevated area right outside the fence not 10 yards from the end-zone by the scoreboard that some people watch it from. If I didn't have a season ticket, that's where I would be.

LOL! I swear, Chargerfan be starting posts for other team's games!

Insert either team as unstoppable or unmovable. That's what makes this game so intriguing. These teams are bad a** on both sides of the ball. I can't wait!

I will say this as well...Milan’s defense is better, but Covington’s offense is much improved compared to last year.

Apparently, he doesn't pay attention. Covington may be the favorite but by a much slimmer margin (less that 1 score IMO). Like I said, WE still remember last year! Kirby is not letting the boys forget that.

Did not know that. I just figured since I never see them deep in the 5A field like Beech or Henry County that they weren't that great. But it sounds like with a new staff they may be this year. I'll keep my eyes on them. They were sub-500 last year, but I see now that they had a killer schedule (PC, Ensworth, Cane Ridge)

Touche'

I'm not to certain about PC, yet. They had their hands full will Hillsboro last week and pulled it out in OT. East Nasty may be the team to beat. We will find out Friday night when those two match up.

That is incorrect. Covington dresses between 50-60, however, that does include freshman. We only have 40 players sophomore-senior. We have 13 seniors, which is about on par for us these days. It could make a difference, however you can only put 11 men on the field and Covington is VERY well conditioned. I don't see this being an issue or a contributing part to who wins this game. Just my opinion. I honestly believe it will come down to turnovers, penalties, and execution of game plan. All else seems to be pretty equal.

Ya'll got yourselves a good one for sure. It's not a simple task to take a team (North Panola) from winning 1 or 2 games a year and as soon as he took over 3 consecutive 10+ win seasons and deep runs in the playoffs. He developed close connections with Ole Miss and Hugh Freeze to get his kids recognition at the college level and he is a relentless booster pursuer. I believe he will have talent from all over yall's area transferring in to Milan. The future is bright there. As much as I hate to admit, the road will not get easier for my Chargers.

I'm gonna call the upset here, simply because no one else has. Westview 38-35.

I would not be willing to bet on a 2 touchdown win. These teams are too similar in terms of speed and physicality. It will be a tight game IMO. If Covington is somehow able to win by 14+, I will be very impressed and looking to challenge for that gold ball. Diffee worries me! I just feel like his coaching abilities are even better than many think.

I played at Covington. We got it handed it to us in the state title game in 2000 against Portland. I also remember Melrose being a top notch program out of Memphis with D1 talent all over and always having trouble with Whitehouse in the Playoffs.

Covington Gridiron Club Facebook also has a Livestream of the game. You could watch while at yalls game!

I was thinking the same thing. When I played back in the late 90's, White House was the team to beat in Middle Tennessee and Portland, well, that 2000 Portland team was a beast and the '99 squad was very good as well. It would be good to see these teams be more than relevant again.

Way too early weather forecast for Covington/Milan game: Mostly Sunny skies, NNW winds 5-10, Hi 64 and Lo 43....Game time will be dropping through 50's into 40's possibly! FOOTBALL WEATHER

Classic down-play.....ain't falling for it! LOL.....We know that Milan has just as much speed and talent and that they have improved every week with a new system. I also know that that coach is a proven winner and has a history of doing amazing things (Mississippi turn-around, yea I read about it). I'm just hoping that Covington keeps last year's L fresh in their mind and come out on all cylinders.

That's better than I was expecting.
