Here is the matchup you have been waiting to see. RE has 12 wins in a row, and Covington has 11. 

Both the Score Predictor and the power rankings show RE to be a 3 or 4 point favorite. But, I don't believe that tells the whole story.

Covington started the year 0-1 after a 16-6 loss to Munford. We were in Region 7-3A with three other teams that were ranked in the top 10 in 3A in the state: Milan, Bolivar, and South Gibson County. Nobody gave my Chargers a chance to win that Region, or even to show up.

Here we are, though, and Covington beat all three of those Region opponents on the road in the regular season, then beat Milan a second time tonight.

And, for good measure, our regular season included convincing wins over 5A Brighton (still playing) and 4A Crockett County (still playing).

I think our squad has been vastly underrated all season by everybody except our team, our seniors, and Coach Marty Wheeler. We have fought an uphill battle to get to where we are right now and I believe in our guys. 

We may in fact get beat by RE, but if so, they will know that they have been in a football game.

1 guy will not beat this Covington team, we don't have that 1 guy, we have a complete team that doesn't give up and knows that they can hang with the best, been tested all year and who has RE played R

Covington will also be one of the most disciplined teams & talented at the skill position as any team they have faced this year.

FYI ... this is unconfirmed, but I just learned, from a close source to the family, that the RE running back has quite a few offers, especially since he broke the Shelby County TDs in a single season

I think the Chargers have a point to prove from the close loss they took from RE Last year at home in the regular season. According to unapproved website  it was a 3 point loss. Hopefully that will be a little motivation for the Chargers along with an opportunity to play in the State Semifinal game. Been a lot of talk about RE running back. He run hard and is fast. Hopefully the Chargers can contain him. Does anyone know if RE have any other weapons on offense?

I really think that Covington will win this game. Was at the game they played last night against Milan, and Covington has 2 or 3 guys that can carry the load no doubt. I know RE has a stud, but you know what you are going to get from them and him. Covington can really beat you many different ways. The QB from covington can really spin it. The pass he threw late in the game, which ended up being the game winner, was unbelievable. Covington passes it just enough to make you respect it, but with the QB they have, it looks like they could throw it around quite a bit more if they need to. Had a couple of tight ends who were open every time the QB would drop back. The running backs covington has really wear on you. I noticed early in the game last night that they weren't really pushing through some of the tackles by Milan, but late in the game they were picking up 4 or 5 yards more a run just because they had worn down the Milan defense. 

 

Will be interesting to see next week. I hope I can make it over to covington again. RE will definitely be ready so Covington will have to bring their A game. I think Covington will be one of the few teams outside of Memphis that will have the athletes to match up with RE and Covington should come away with a 7-10 point victory.

I must admit, I haven't seen RE play this year, and have only seen Covington play against Milan twice and South Gibson once, but I find it hard to believe that RE will have "too much speed" for covington. In the 3 games I've watched them this year, covington has had all the speed you want. I may be wrong and RE may  just blow covington away with speed, but I would bet covington will be the team thats able to get to the edge in the run game, and set the edge on defense.

I have seen both teams play. Covington clearly is the better team. RE is no joke though. They have the best running back I have seen this year. Covington is the best team I have seen this year as a whole. 

Hey covington " Stop #3  and you win this contest hands down. " He is handful and it will not be easy but if you can stop him you stop RE.

I appreciate the info. As I recall, Grandberry is pretty hard to stop. I hope that we can keep him from beating us.

      Why Are They Losing?

      By INoLosers · Posted

      One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State.

      It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014.

      Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.
