That was then, this is now. I'm pulling for the chargers. But this is the alcoa team that put down 6a maryville. Another goldball for the f5. 

Thanks for the support. We all know how good Alcoa is and we may have had our best chance last year but I hope we get to play them again.

Here's a thought:

Last year's Covington team lost our opening game to Munford, then ran off 13 wins in a row before losing to Alcoa in the championship game. With our Quarterfinal win over Milan tonight, that is another 13 consecutive wins. 

I think that 26 wins over two seasons is pretty good. Now, if we can add two more wins this year, I'll be totally satisfied.

Couple questions. 

How big are Covington's linebackers? Is their field grass or turf? If grass, is it in good shape? 

If it's a hog pen like Fairviews field I'd do like CPA and hire helicopters to hover over it to dry it out. Lol. Weathers looking dry for the next week though. 

The field is grass and flat torn up at this point. Linebackers aren’t big but strong and fast.

Covington plays on an all grass field. Conditions have been rough the last couple of weeks with bad weather. Should see some good drying this week. The few games I've seen Covington play this year they have stopped the run extremely well. They definitely would prefer teams to run it instead of pass it. That being said, they had 3 or 4 interceptions last night against Milan. Their defense has played well all year, but seems to be peaking at the right time. Good luck stopping their rushing attack. They line up in the wing t with the qb under center as well as in the shotgun and have 4 guys who can take it to the house on any given carry. Their QB can sling it all over the field as well as run it with the best of them. Should be a good game, but I don't see how Covington loses this one. I watched them play 3 times this year and was more impressed after each game.

In general, Covington is known for having a good grass field. However, 3 consecutive home playoff games during the monsoon season have taken a toll. Stratford won't need to worry about field conditions, though. They will be better served to study film on our offense.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
