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!!

I wouldn't be shocked if Westview finds their way into the playoffs. They will put up points. 

Just gonna admire this comment

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

Doubt the best kicker in the region misses two PATs in one game...

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.

This regions top 5 of the 6 are all very good teams and it should get exciting this season.....1 good team will be left out of the playoffs sadly

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.

Most definitely agree.  Great all around D. Plenty of experience. Maybe one or two young guys but so far they have stepped up to the table!
