Dyersburg has a few tricks up their sleeve

As Dash said, much mutual respect between these teams. The trash talking comes from people that have no dog in the fight. My son plays and I have the starting DLine at my house about every weekend. This is as close of a group that I’ve been around. They’ve got each other’s backs and they’ve played together since I coached them in the 3rd grade. They’re great young men. They hangout with me over running around town and staying out late. They hold each other accountable and play for each other. People talking trash just makes them come harder. They have the utmost respect for Covington and those boys. Kirby ALWAYS gets his boys up and they play TOUGH disciplined ball. You really hate to see a loser out of that game. How about those DL playing on offense in the backfield on that last drive and 2pt conversion? Gotta put those dogs out there! Haha

East Nasty gonna meet Big Nasty!

They have a VERY explosive and athletic duo of DEs. Boling and Curry. They’ve been to some of the camps we’ve been to. I’m super happy that it will no longer be the frozen mud bowl! Gonna have to bring it! Gotta play inspired football and let it all hang out!

What a miserable little man!

Heck of a game played by both teams that refused to lose! Covington, as always, was well coached as played their hearts out! Proud of both teams’ effort!

I don’t know how many sacks we had tonight, or how many times that qb went down, but he kept coming. Dang tough kid that left it all on the field! Our worst offensive performance by a mile. Gotta have better playcalling next week or we’ll be sitting home the week after. Coaches gotta turn it up on offense and take a few shots and rely on the D. This “coaching not to lose” instead of coaching to win is gonna get us beat. Go for the jugular early and let it all hang out!

Mic drop

Yeah, good luck laughing at that elephant!

Need to photoshop a foot in that guy’s mouth and it’ll be even more accurate!

He absolutely will! I won’t stop pushing him though! It’s just crazy how humble, appreciative, and respectful he is at his age. 99% of kids with his potential get cocky and coast. The attention has fueled him to dig deeper and push harder. There were two kids tonight that had more snaps than him, and he gets double teamed almost every play!

He’s a great young man and that’s a great offer, BUT I’m taking him to UT for the UGA game on a recruiting trip

I know Big K was cheering all day today! So proud of that young man!

Ok big boy! They were parked on the opposite side of the stadium by the lockerroom because their son was being examined. They have Dyersburg stickers on their vehicles. Ripley players walked by after the game and cleated their ride. Tell me how to post a picture and I will. If I need to use some crayons to make it clearer, let me know! These are some of the finest people I know! They didn’t want to cause a stink, but I will.

JMo’s role on defense cannot be understated. He was an absolute eraser his entire career in black and gold. I LOVED the way he always competed and gave his all! We’re missing the other safety too. That’s our weakest spots now. If anyone wants to beat Dyersburg, they’ll have to throw it. Not gonna be able to run on our front seven.

I in no way, shape, or form insinuated any kind of dirty antics. It happens! It happened on Dyersburg’s sideline. Nothing dirty about it at all. Now if you want to talk about the damage that the Ripley players did to his parents’ vehicle AFTER the game, we can talk about how dirty that was. He was fighting for yards, as he will always do, because he is a fighter and competitor.

Torn acl while getting tackled running out of bounds with no time left on the clock in the 2nd quarter against Ripley.

Dyersburg has size and speed and depth. DL is big, strong, and hungry. Lightest guy is 240+(and dear to my heart) and they all are very active. QB that is out, also is a stud safety. The other starting safety is also out for the season. We’ve got depth and should be ok, just won’t be as aggressive as we were there. OL is big and stout, IF THE RIGHT PERSONNEL IS ON THE FIELD. Hopefully we put the right guys out there and quit screwing around so we don’t let the backup qb get hurt also. We’ve got speed, size, and experience. These guys have played a lot of games and won a lot of games. 25 seniors that have been successful since I was coaching them in the 3rd grade. They’ll bring it every week.

Covington won’t be tested until the 3rd rd at historic JC Sawyers stadium!

Dyersburg qb/safety/punter, John Morris Trowbridge, is out for the season with a torn acl. Awesome freaking kid and I ABSOLUTELY hate it for him! Played his heart out every play! Good news is I feel like no one, in west Tennessee, can beat us on the ground. They’ll have to pass effectively to move the ball on us. I believe we can run the ball on anyone, if OUR COACHES HAVE THE RIGHT OL ON THE FIELD. This is a deep Trojan team, but cannot replace John Morris.

SUPER high character kid. Plans on going into the military and now this. He gave his all every play. This kind of thing was bound to happen when you have coaches playing their own kids that don’t belong on the field over kids that bust their ####es every play

Melrose in the early 2000s was sick! They legit had half a dozen D1 guys when we played them at Orange Mound in the first rd in 2002.

You gonna be on the chain crew again?

That was in 2002 and I still remember that sound! I think it was Bobby Matthews that took that lick. That and at one point you could barely make out the opposite sideline because it was raining so hard. We still won that game though! I was going up against Ramon Foster all game and he had 150lbs on me

Are you talking about Calvin Mullins and Lake county? We’ve been talking about Skylan Smith, who plays for Covington, during the game against Dyersburg. Covington did not have a 60 plus yard run in that game.
