Well, I just saw that Huntington had a back rush for 290 yards and 4 TD's Friday against Milan. That doesn't sound like a great Milan defense there.

Covington had over 500 yards rushing versus Ripley. Mr. Football nominee Marcus Hayes had nearly 300 yards and 4 TD's himself against Ripley, and the Chargers have a couple of other backs besides Hayes. 

How does that Milan D sound now???

Covington wins going away this week. I really hoped that Milan, SG, Westview, McNairy, or someone would give Covington a run this year. I thought this was the year Milan would get them, but I just don't see it happening. I am honestly getting sick of going that far west to watch them play. I guess I could stay home during the playoffs, but I love to watch good high school football. 

I guess you got your wish tonight. :)

Here's my evaluation of the Covington team:

Defense -Covington All State linebacker Caleb Winfrey is out. But, he didn't play last week against Ripley and Ripley could only score 7 points. This is a better defense in 2019 than Covington had in 2017 or 2018, as I see it.

Offense - Covington's offense is built around All State running back Marcus Hayes. But, new on the scene this year is freshman RB Jamarion Dowell. Either of these guys have the speed to take it to the house on any given play. In addition, Covington has two or three other backs who could probably start for most teams. With this stable of runners, the young Charger QB, Carson Ruffin, is able to just hand the ball off, and only throw the ball 2 or 3 times per game. 

Special Teams - Covington's special teams has made it really tough on punters this year. The rush on the punter has resulted in snaps over the punters head, blocked punts, fumbles, etc. The Chargers have done well covering K.O.'s and punts, without giving up that big return. 

How about one of you Milan fans giving us a breakdown on Milan?

 

 

My break down is this...... Milan wins 14-7.

I don't mean this to sound negative toward Milan but this particular team is nowhere near as good as teams they had in the past. They seem to rely on the qb to much and it doesn't seem they have much of a run game. The offensive line seems to get pushed around some. Milan's defense is average to slightly above average this year. The qb is a special player and they can throw the ball pretty good. I would like to see them develop a solid run game like the teams of old. I'm afraid Covington will win this one pretty big. Hopefully I am wrong and it will be a great game.

Do you still think our D is average to slightly above average??

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
