BPM doesn't really think that. I'm thinking it will be a battle. Milan may have not had the season they were expecting but that doesn't matter now.

The Chargers were kinda slow out the gate Friday night.  Hopefully they will be ready from the start this week.  I know the coaches will drill that this week in practice.

Every time I have said we would lose this year I have been correct. People have accused me of "sandbagging" but I have done nothing but speak the truth. Look at my picks on the 3A pick em contest. I picked Covington to win this game. 

 

Milan played inspired football last night. I hope more than anything that can carry over to this week but I expect our road comes to an end next Friday.

I hope your pick is correct but I think it will be a close game for sure.

I suspect that Milan is looking at the playoffs as a "new season" where the regular season can be forgotten and they can start over. I suspect that their coaching staff will have them ready to play.

Covington will need to look at this as a new season, too. None of the wins in our 9-0 regular season win streak count for anything (except to get us home field advantage). I suspect that our slow start vs Melrose will give Coach Wheeler and staff plenty of ammo to fire up the troops.

i want to welcome our Milan opponents to Covington. Let's have a good game and represent our Region well.

So, did a little research on the Milan - Covington football series. Milan is 8-4 all time against Covington. Per the high school database, Milan dominated early in the series. The teams have not met a lot recently, sometimes being in different classification, sometimes just in different regions.

The last 4 games have been very even:

2011 Milan won 28-26

2012 Covington won 24-13

2015 Milan won 23-21 (playoffs)

2017 Covington won 28-27 (overtime)

I expect a close game again this Friday. Milan has too much pride to not put up a real fight. I'm hoping my Chargers can prevail, but the regular season matchup this year was as close as you could want.

I'm thinking Covington has a good chance to beat RE and PC......

We have to beat Milan first . We didn't play well against Melrose so I hope that woke us up. We don't have and D1 talent for sure but we play hard and as a team.
