Best kicker in the region has to be McNairy's John Droke. Already 11 for 11 PATs, 2 for 2 FGs with long of 36 and 5 touchbacks. Averaging 58 yards per kick on kickoffs. Somebody needs to take a look at this kid!!

Westview’s kicker is pretty dang good too. JT Carver and is only a sophomore. His kickoffs always go into back of endzone and he is perfect from PATs and FGs

The Memphis Commercial Appeal has picked Covington to repeat as Champions of Region 7-3A. Their ranking for the regions looks like this:

Region 7-3A

1. Covington

2. Milan

3. McNairy

4. South Gibson

5. Westview 

6. Bolivar

As a Covington fan, I realize that we have lost a lot of talent from the team that won the 3A Silver Ball last year, but I do see that we return 20 seniors (per the roster on Max__Preps).  And the paper  did mention some of our returning players:

Can Covington's Marcus Hayes win Mr. Football?

Hayes was a Mr. Football semifinalist in Class 3A last year as a sophomore and helped lead the Chargers to their second consecutive appearance in the state title game. Will the Chargers be back for a third time? Covington returns all-state selections in Hayes and linebackers Caleb Winfrey and Lareko Burton.

Well #5 beat #3 and #4 beat #2 tonight

Covington will not lose a region game this year either it appears. They are head and shoulders above every 3A team in west Tennessee. 

I hope that you are correct, but I’m not taking anything for granted. I will say that the Covington defense is playing very well this year. Our offense is getting scores, but the D is getting stops and turnovers to give us extra opportunities.

The defense is absolutely our unit this year! Especially that linebacker Corp.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
