How many state championship games did Coach Wheeler make where Coach Kirby wasn't on staff calling plays? I should rest my case there, because the answer is zero but I’ll continue;
The ball has bounced Covington’ s way a long, long time in key moments such as
the 28-27 over time win against Milan in ‘17
the 28-27 win over South Gibson ‘18
the 14-10 come back win over South Gibson in ‘19.
The knock down drag out win 20-13 win over Haywood in ‘20.
Those moments just come to mind over the last 5 years. I can assure you, there are countless more moments where the ball bounced Covington’s way in key moments, and will continue to bounce Covington’s way in key moments. Covington wins ball games right now in the off season; December, January, February,March, April, May, June, July. They win them in the weight room, day in, day out. So please, continue to fault a Coach and team who has been booted from the Quarter and Semi Round the last 2 trips by a combined TWO points.
I can assure you, those cats are going to work every day in the weight room to find those two points.
