Covington at McNairy Central

[Macnarry]

The teams had a battle in last year's playoffs and now will face each other in a berth in the state playoffs. Can McNairy's defense contain Covington's speed on offense and kickoff coverage? The Bobcats have averaged over 40 points a game, so Covington will have to work hard on defense as well.

Covington is a really good team. They are kind of in a funk right now with back to back losses. It would be really hard for me to pick a winner in this contest. I think it will be a great game. If McNairy beats that would end Covingtons season..... I would have bet a LARGE and do mean LARGE amount of cash that Covington would make the playoffs.... that's Region 7 3A for ya.

If McNairy wins, Westview has to win for Covington's season to end. McNairy and Milan wins means Covington is the 4 seed.

You are right, I keep forgetting that McNairy lost to WV early in the season.

But, If it came down to the head to head between Covington and Milan it would go to Milan because they beat Covington.

That's correct. If McNairy and Westview win, it would put Milan and Covington tied and Milan gets the 4th spot due to head to head.

Correct. It would be as follows

1. South Gibson

2. Milan

3. Covington

4. Westview

Covington has not been the same since we lost Caleb Winfrey at linebacker. As long as Winfrey was playing our D was only giving up an average of 5 points per game.

I hope that we can overcome that loss and go get a win in Selmer this week. I'll be there to support my Chargers, win or lose.

Still not bad though — Gave up 14 to Milan and 20 to SG and one of those was gift after punter went to knee on our 10 yard line!! We need to control ball against McNairy and not let their offense on the field.

Honestly, there is not much difference between 1-4 in this region. SGC won it because we have a large senior class that does not make silly mistakes and turnovers. All of the games that we played with the other 3 top teams in our region were within 1 score. I am not taking anything away from my boys because they are really good. They deserve, earned, and outright won the region championship. 

I do not think most folks understand just how good this region is.

For the 2-4 spots in the playoffs....  We have been there a bunch of times. My only advice is just win baby! Win and you are in!
