3A playoffs

[CHARGERFAN]

Covington started this season playing better football on the defensive side of the ball than they had the last two years. Losses to Milan and South Gibson County can be tied directly to the knee injury suffered by Caleb Winfrey. With Winfrey healthy at linebacker, IMHO Covington would now be undefeated and rolling along. That is strictly my opinion. He was unable to stay in the game last week vs. McNairy county, and came out limping. Milan and SGC both beat us with Winfrey on the sideline.

So, the question is whether Coach JR Kirby and staff have made enough adjustments on both sides of the ball to defeat either SGC or Milan if we meet again in the playoffs. The Chargers only lost by a single TD to each of them, so it's not impossible. The Chargers would have to tune up our offense enough to account for the loss of stopping power on the defensive side of the ball. We scored 37 against a pretty good McNairy County team last week. 

Of course, all the discussion is moot if the Chargers don't defeat Melrose tomorrow. I'm just saying that you shouldn't write off the Chargers quite yet.

I agree with everything you said ChargerFan.  Offense looked much better in a big game and Winfrey being out no doubt was a big blow.  I went by practice Tuesday and he was out there practicing so looks like he is ok.  

If we are trucking along with ease against Melrose, I would hope that they do not play him. I agree with you both, with Winfrey earlier in the season, the defense was the best I’ve seen at Covington. The defense is still dang good and he’s just 1 guy. But healthy, he’s scary good at that MLB position and does make a difference.

Injuries and coaching adjustments are part of the game and every team deals with them. SGC has had impact players injured and on the sidelines literally all season long. The regular season games between region 7-3a were great football games to watch. I know it's always harder to beat a team of similar capabilities twice so Covington and Milan will have their opportunities but SGC will be relentless on the field.  It will be a battle for sure.

Seems more like a fair question than hate. The last few playoffs haven't been good to PC. 

Last few years has nothing to do with this year! But what I do know is our defense has finally caught up with our offense, taking alot of pressure off that side of the ball. End result first 10-0 season in school history, so we'll see what happens its one game at a time for us. But yeah his whole comment about question is who will upset PC was pure hate!!!

I'll answer that question next week

We beat lil East with 80% of our offense missing. Y'all haven't seen PC full go this year, which that is scary for y'all. I know you got this hope that y'all can pull a Stratford this year, but truth is ALL AIN'T GOOD ENOUGH!!!

Would love to see a Alcoa vs Pearl Cohn matchup.

I don't think you can talk about another teams post season success when East Nashville has a postseason record of 3-7 Compared to Pearl Cohn at 40-19 with 2 gold balls and 3 Silver balls... Or making it farther or putting you out in the playoffs

Nothing but respect for PC and region 5. I know it is tough sledding over there. But there will be a battle tested region 7 team waiting in the semis and it will be a war.

A little insight to the Pearl Cohn vs East Nashville rivalry.
