Covington State Champs ?

[MCLefty]

Marshall County has a 31-0 state championship team so its definitely not impossible, season is at most half-way done, so good luck to you.

Milan people are in some kind of time warp!!!...HELLO!!!...its 2005...beam 'em up Scotty!!! The Hobock has spoken...PEACE!!!

Yea, its 2005, and J. Whites only a junior....

[westtn2004state]

Covington should definitely be at the state tournament. You can really toss your

record out the window at that point. One bad night or basically one play..and you lose. I'd love to see a rematch of last years state championship.. but I know I'd still go with Milan with J. White on the mound.

Go and look at all the teams they have played there is no team that has a very good record they will see how good they really are Monday night at Ripley. Don't get me wrong 23 and 0 is awesome ,but no worthy opponents.

I agree that their schedule is not that tough we have played several good teams and the games that lost we were in all of them. Calloway Cty Ky. was probably the best team we have played this year.Their 1 thru 9 was as good as any I've seen thus far ,but when Covington plays Ripley they always bring their A game. I believe if we play at our potental we will beat Covington. It will be a good game and should be a large crowd also.

It looks like we will go all they way we have the best team we have ever had. Should go undefeated. ANY THOUGHTS?

Covington does have a great team this year. But I do have to disagree with the statement about this team being the best ever at Covington. The 1998 and 1999, I think were better teams. Covington in 1999 won the state championship. Winning their last 24 games straight. That year Covington started 2-5 (first five losses- 3 to Germantown, 1 to Houston, and 1 to Murfreesboro Oakland) all AAA schools. Covington finished 31-7. Not too bad if you ask me. The 1998 team was probally better talent wise, but they failed to win, when they needed too.

 

This years Covington team probally ranks 2nd or 3rd all time in Covington Baseball. Behind the 99' State Champion team. The difference between the 99' and 05' teams is Coaching. In 99' Covington had one of the best coaches around (Allen Pavatte- Now at Briarcrest Christian). Covington's coach this year is not liked by many people in town from what I hear. I do not think he is preparing these young guys for a state title run with the weak schedule their playing. Hopefully I'm wrong. I would like to see another State Championship Banner hanging in the shcool.

 

Good luck Covington the rest of the way this year. And sorry to hear about y'all miss tieing the record for consecutive wins (24) by 1 game. (23-1)

I thought the '98 and '99 covington teams were very talented, but the last 3 years of Covington teams have been very successful. Some people might even say with less talent. Sounds like there must be some pretty good coaching going on over there. As far as your comparison of Coach Pavatte to Coach Miller, I think the team has gone 81-18 with Coach Miller at the helm. I also checked out the so-called weak schedule and see they play more than their fair share of tough opponents.

they have some good coaches-- they get their players ready--- its funny how coach pavette could not get out of the region with taylor bennett!!!!!!!!! These guys were state runner ups with sopmores!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! coach pavette is nothing but coach phill clarks shadow!!!!!!!!! LIVE IN THE NOW CHARGER FANS!!!!!!!!! Yall will be gettin on that wagon if they maket to memphis

[Vols1616]

Just because you have one good pitcher does not mean you should win your region. I may be wrong - but the talent Taylor Bennett had when he was playing is no where near as talented as the guys playing now. This team right now should win at least one state championship maybe even two. I still still Geno is a bad coach. He WILL NOT be here for more the 3 more years. Wait til these guys playing right now are gone. Let's see how good a coach he is then!!! Geno leaving Covinton would be the best thing for Covington High School. Geno is running everyone away from the Covington Baseball program, whether you want to believe it or not!!!
