Covington No. 1 in 3A

[Cam4747]

Covington is ranked No. 1 in Class 3A for the first time in several years. They've beaten some quality teams like Haywood, Brighton and Raleigh-Egypt, and have a possible showdown with No. 2 Dyersburg next Friday. They have a rich tradition with two finals and one semifinals appearance the last five years. Still, it seems like their name rarely comes up when discussing the best teams in the state. Why is that?

Because the two times they did play in the 'Boro they got destroyed by Portland and Fulton.

 

I agree that Covington is a great football team that will be a major player in 3A this year but if they do get to Murfreesboro they'd better show up to play or they'll keep getting overlooked.

Good point. But in West Tennessee and even Covington, people keep saying they're not as good as they have been, even though they're 5-0 and have a great opportunity to run the regular season table. It will be interesting to see how things go if they manage to win their next five games, which seems very possible.

I want to read this post after tonight. Some opinions might be changing concerning Region 7 in 3A. That's all I'm saying.

I agree with this, everyone could be changing their mind about Covington after tonight!

WT13QB and Rebel Man ... You guys are pretty subtle. Just come on out and say it. You think OC's going to knock off the No. 1 team in the state. If you get it off your chest, you'll feel better.

Covington has all rights to be number one we will see how good both of us are in two weeks.

Covington is indees worthy of their ranking. This is a program which year in and year out is solid, and goes deep into the play-offs. As for the game tonight, at OC, all I can say is the Chargers better be ready to play, for I think you will find the Rebels are ready for the challenge. But yes Covington should be where they are, till someone knocks them off.

Looks like Cov.needs to win this type of a game if they want the respect of being a number 1 team..Not saying Cov. hasn't got a very good team...just that to be a top team..even if they don't play their best game..they still need to find a way to win..

Covington will no longer be #1.

The final at Troy.

 

Obion County......17

Covington............7

 

Covington held to under 175 yds of total offense.

Obion County had over 100 more yards than the Chargers.

 

The Chargers are tough and fast, but they can be beat!

Seems like Central must be putting it all together the last 3 weeks..Congrats to the Rebels from a Lake Co Falcon fan...

This is a moot point now, but the only reason Covington was #1 this week was because Knox Catholic has been left off the 3A polling list all season...
