Crockett County @ Covington

Recommended Posts

So now we can discuss this one. Each team was ranked in the latest AP poll. CC was #2 in 4A, and Covington was #7 in 3A. Of course, these rankings will change this week following the CC loss to Haywood, and the Charger's win over South Gibson County.

These teams have played some hard-fought contests over the years. Maybe someone has the energy to research the series record between the two.

The USAToday Score Predictor has CC winning 27 to 21. On the other hand, Sonny_Moore's Power Rankings show CC at 127 and Covington at 124. The difference is 3, but you then give Covington 3 points for home field advantage, and the game is a toss-up.

I like the Chargers to win at home. What do y'all think?

OK, curiosity killed the cat. I do have an old Covington football program that lists historic schedule results from 1992 thru 2012. That shows 11 meetings of these two teams, with Covington ahead 8-3 on wins. I can't attest to any head-to -head results outside of that timeframe, because I don't have the data.

It would be hard to say.  I haven't seen Covington play in quite a while but it's obvious from the results of the games played that they have a very good football team.  How will the kids from Crockett Co. respond after their first loss of the season?  Like I said in a previous post, Haywood has a very strong, fast and athletic football team and although the results don't show it, the Cavaliers actually trailed in that game 35-7 in the 2nd qtr but they did not lay down.  They scored 3 unanswered TD's to get to within 7 points at 35-28 before Haywood pulled away.  I think the Cavaliers will bounce back and the coach's will have them ready to go.  I hope it's a good, injury free football game and good luck to both teams in the playoffs in their respective classes.

And I am the same way in regard to Crockett County. I have only seen their scores and their poll rankings. I expect a close game between two good teams.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I am glad we have this game at home. Of course, it will be senior night, being the last home game. That can cause some emotional response from our players and could affect play. But, who knows which way that works. Are the seniors fired up to go out with a bang, or is it a downer as they finish their high school careers? 

We will see.

Covington wins at home.

    • The amount of people pooing on UH is crazy. They're a noticably better team than last year when they made state and were competitive , AND they run ruled Eagleville a few weeks ago. Now I understand Eagleville was missing a few guys, but they still. They. Run. Ruled. Eagleville. 1st single A team to run rule Eagleville since when? Pre 2017??
    • If that Yellow Paint is all gone I'll flat bet it didn't wash off there. I bet that took some scrubbing to remove that if it is gone. Lacrosse is one of those northern sports all these misplaced Yankee's that are posion to the community brought in by  (Blount Partnership, ( The Devil) with them so somebody allowed them to paint their markings on the field that cost more than the twenty top people on payroll at Maryville make a year. All this to please the 1% Club and the 25 people that would come to see it. All in the name of WOKE!!!!!!
    • They will probably, struggle 
    • Dyersburg is going to be good, really good. As mentioned, they have a lot of talent on the way and the trio of Chelby, Joya, and KayKay will only be better with a full season together under their belt. To me, playing in Murfreesboro two consecutive postseasons will only serve to make them more dangerous if/when they stand among the final eight teams this March. Experience, good or bad, always makes you better. And not only do they have experience, they know how to win there. Schedules are coming together for all of the teams and I am excited about what I am seeing on the preliminary drafts on Dyersburg’s schedule. I know I am being a tease, but it’s simply not my place to announce what another school is doing. With that said, I won’t go into specifics. However, I am excited about renewed home and away contracts for the non-district portion of the calendar. I think west Tennessee will have a lot of interest as well.
    • What does everyone have in the final 8? In no particular order. 1. Eagleville 2. Gordonsville 3. Greenback 4. Oakdale 5. South Pitt/ East Robertson-- not sure 6. Richland 7. Halls 8. Union City
