Covington went to war in 6 inches of mud and rain for 4 qtrs vs Stratford.  If you havent seen Stratford dont comment.  Size and athletes playing a role of Cinderella with confidence and momentum.  The Chargers showed up.   They will show up Saturday.  It will be a great game.  Our game is based on quickness and speed.  Friday we played smashmouth.  Sat it will be nice to stand and run.

Not to mention the recovery of an onside kick would have somehow magically won the game. It takes a whole lot of effort to score on Alcoa and there is no guarantee they would have scored to even tie t

I loved it!! Smashmouth football at it's best. We played in the exact same conditions at home in a semi-final match in 2000 with Jackson Southside. I wonder if anyone remembers that. Of course, the next week, we didn't show up...ha! I'm sure this Charger team will!

I just watched last year's game again. Here's what I saw:

At the end of the 1st quarter 7-7.

In the second quarter Covington throws a pick straight to Warwick. Results in a short field TD for Alcoa. Covington offense stopped by Alcoa. Alcoa drives inside 10 yard line, held 3 downs by Covington, Alcoa kicks a field goal. 17-7 Alcoa at end of 2nd quarter.

Covington takes the 2nd half kickoff and drives for a TD. No more scoring on the quarter. 17-14 Alcoa at end of 3rd Quarter.

Alcoa drives inside 10 yard line early in 4th quarter. Covington D holds them 4 downs and takes over on downs. Covington tries a reverse on the goal line, fumbles into the end zone and Alcoa covers for a TD to go up 24-14. That basically decided the game.

That's why I think Covington can play with Alcoa this year if we avoid turnovers. Take away the first interception (throw the ball away) and the gift fumble in the end zone (even if we just punt it out of there the way our D was playing) and you have a different ball game.

      Pickett is good, may have a Mr. Football like season if he’s used correctly. One of the best teams Marion has fielded in a while. I think they go 12-1 and loose to ER.  ER has better players at almost every position. If they play discipline this year, they win soundly. If they don’t though…Marion could sneak away with it.

      I’m betting the house on the Indians. Pickett and Co will be the only team to challenge the Indians in the East. Huntingdon can in the West. I think Brooks goes 15-0 and has the first perfect season and state championship in ER history.

      Sounds like a great opportunity has opened up for the football team.  With the head coach of the diamond rebels making it official and quitting this week, there should be some room for the gridiron guys to benefit. I assume the administration won’t continue paying six figures to two former coach that quit to continue teaching drivers Ed. Thats pretty good money that could be redirected toward the football program. Also, with the more recent policies of pushing kids to only play one sport, abolishing the baseball program altogether would help on Friday nights in the fall. There is some decent speed on that baseball team that should’ve been playing on Fridays IMO. I’m not sure if anybody would really miss that baseball program anyway with it being across town from the school. The liability of letting players actually use the facilities could also be mitigated with closing the program. That liability seems to be a really big issue for 825. Anyway, it seems like a great opportunity is available.

      Yeah, I read about their spring blue/gray scrimmage after I typed that.   Sounds like a real mess over there.  I just hate that for 'em.  Haw

      Maybe OR will be, but Farragut, nah, I don’t think anybody realizes how much of a bad situation that program is in currently. I’m sure they will build out of it, but the next 3 to 4 years are going to be a long climb up.
