Liberty @ Covington

[fsunoles1623]

Haven't seen Liberty play this year. After a hard faught game by both teams, I find it hard to believe that Covingtons offense has another below average game next week. This one should be another great game tho. Good luck to both teams.

Look for Covington to come out firing on all cylinders just as they did tonight but I expect they will do more in the 2nd half unlike they did tonight!! It'll be a great game though!!b

Sonny_Moore puts Covington as a 10-point favorite over Liberty Magnet.

 

Of the 13 games the two teams have played this year, there is not one common opponent.

One thing I notice is that Liberty lost 4 of their first 5 games (to Henry Co., Dyer Co., Lexington, and Jackson N. Side). They have since won 8 in a row including turning a 42-7 loss to Lexington into a 42-18 win when they met them a second time. This team seems to be getting better as the season goes on.

 

However, don't bet against my Chargers.

Covington is hard to bet against at 13-0. I look for them to take car of business next Friday. They are a mature and focused group.

This will be a GREAT game.. Cov is rolling unbeaten.. Lib is rolling at the right time.. I got Covington going to state so I gotta stick to it! Don't take Liberty lightly because they are one of if not the most athletic teams on this side of the river and have a great coach!

 

Debating on the long drive to Covington or the short drive to North Side or Adamsville!

Tech is definatly gettin adjusted to being the underdog. Liberty keep playing your ball and don't focus on the week after. Keep going out there and jug playing like you got nothing to lose!!

Liberty drives White House out of playoffs

 

WHITE HOUSE —

Senior quarterback Dominique Davis led Liberty Tech on a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive to send the Crusaders to the Class 4A semifinals with a 27-23 victory over White House on Friday night.

"It's great," Davis said. "I just haven't ever led the team like that."

Davis capped the drive with a 16-yard touchdown pass to sophomore Ajon White in the right side of the end zone with 50.9 seconds remaining.

Fourth-seeded Liberty Tech (7-6) overcame a 20-6 third-quarter deficit.

"We knew what we had to do," Davis said. "We came out and did it ... played Tech ball. That's what it is."

The Crusaders scored on each of their first three possessions in the second half.

Senior running back Courtney Bush ripped off an 80-yard touchdown run on his squad's first play from scrimmage in the second half, which came after Blue Devils senior placekicker Chase Dunlap split the uprights with a 40-yard field goal to extend a 17-3 halftime advantage.

Then, a 56-yard pass from Davis to senior Tyler Taylor set up Davis' 3-yard touchdown run with 11:52 remaining.

The third of Nathan Welch's extra-point kicks tied the game at 20.

"We just executed better," Liberty coach Steve Hookfin said of his squad's second-half improvement offensively. "We ended up calling the right plays.

"We called the right play at the end gambling that they were going to be in man (coverage), and they were. It would have been a bad call if they were in zone."

White House (7-6) responded with a 12-play scoring drive that reached the Crusader 6 yard line before Dunlap came on to make a 28-yard field goal, placing his squad back in front with 4:08 showing.

However, Bush ran for gains of 20 and 17 yards on the game-winning drive.

Bush finished with 178 yards rushing on 13 carries.
