Yeah you guys get the win.  Melrose isn’t a bad team. They won last night 40-6 over Hamilton. And going to Orange Mound in November is never a fun thing to do. But I think you guys pull it out. Just m

Covington is a great football team and beat a really good McNairy team to stay alive in the toughest region in the state. It's ashame to see 1 and 9 teams in the playoffs while good football teams are

I firmly believe South Gibson is the best team this year. I think Milan has the best defense and McNairy scores the most points so maybe they had the best offense. But SG does all phases of the game w

Well, Covington this year is a tale of two seasons: 1) With Caleb Winfrey and 2) without Caleb Winfrey. With Winfrey, CHS was giving up an average of 5 points per game. Since Winfrey was injured, the Chargers have given up 14 to Milan, 20 to SGC and 27 to McNairy County (Winfrey played in the first half vs. McNairy and was injured again). 

Of course, those three teams mentioned above were also the best talent we have played. Still, an All-State linebacker might have made the difference in one or more of those games. And, remember that vs. Alcoa last year, Winfrey carried the ball from scrimmage a few times and picked up good yardage against their defense. I remember a couple of times that Milan and SGC stopped us on fourth-and-short, when Winfrey at running back might have picked it up, 

The way Winfrey was limping Friday night, it's hard to see him coming back in the playoffs. And, with All-State running back Marcus Hayes nursing an ankle injury picked up Friday nite, Covington may be short its two best players.

Still, being Covington, and with JR Kirby as coach, we will not make excuses and will give our best effort for as long as we are in the playoffs. Injuries are part of football, and we will field a team and do our best.

But SG does all phases of the game well. Plus they don’t beat themselves with turnovers, penalties and other mistakes. That’s why they went 5-0 in the region plain and simple. 

Thanks for the kind words my ole friend. I completely agree with all of it. 

I also think there is not much difference between 1 and 5 in our region. It is a shame that McNairy is sitting at the house... 

I am waving the brown flag! That is the BS flag! 

SGC gets a raw deal. We get Covington in round 2, Then turnaround and get Milan! That is brown flag! 

If SGC can somehow find a way to win those contests... sheww...  I think we would certainly compete with PC. ( word i get is that PC is the real deal.) I know that PC got bounce early the past couple of years when they were supposed to be the great. Do not know if we could win but I think we could compete hard.

I'll comment on Pearl-Cohn. They got bounced early last year, by Stratford. However, the previous year they advanced to the Semi-finals. Covington played them in Nashville. PC was leading at halftime, and Covington made a strong second half comeback, finally winning on a long field goal at the end of regulation. It wasn't an easy win.

They can be expected to field some great athletes, and are pretty well coached. Whoever comes out of West Tennessee could have their hands full going to Middle Tennessee. It could be PC but last year proves that they are not a sure bet to be there.

Charger fan, It was good to meet you a few weeks ago when we came to Covington!

You always post quality. Peeps like you make the T so good. 

Whoever comes out of this region alive to make the trip to Nashville will certainly be battle tested!

I saw maybe 1 or 2 plays out of the wing-t last night...most of it was option and double wing for pitches. Milan was all wing-t and it was shut down. 
Dis y’all notice that Winfrey started last night and MCNairy did nothing until he tweaked that knee again. I wish they would’ve rested him 2 more weeks....I doubt he’ll return now

Thats an all out shame. #5 is a heck of a player.

I'm glad we got to meet. So, if both teams win a first round game, we will meet y'all again at SGC, right? I'm glad that I have GoogleMaps, or I would never be able to get up there again. I was following a cotton trailer the last time I got to your place, I think. 

Good luck in the first round.

The stage is set for rematches between very good football teams and I think Milan will be there in the 3rd round for a rematch of their own. SGC is a great football team that is well coached and very disciplined. Covington and Milan are loaded with talent and can compete with anyone in the state. Tough road to the end. 

I still believe Milan came out better finishing 2nd...7A will walk over the Memphis teams so that puts Cov at SGC and WV at Milan....3rd round has Milan at  SGC or  Cov at Milan....whoever comes out of that has to prob go to Pearl Con....but it doesn't matter...the University of Alcoa will bus in their all-star team and win another Gold Ball...they've made a mockery out of 3A high school football....but "open zones" have allowed them to do that and the T$$AA will do nothing to stop that unfair advantage....

Thank you sir!

It is not too bad until you get to Humboldt! At least all of the roads you will must travel on will be paved! HEY! we are moving up! Just a few years ago one of the roads that led to the high school was still a gravel road! 

1000 Hornet Drive Medina TN. Google maps will put you right at the stadium! 

Good luck in the first round as well!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Summit22 · Posted

      Coalfield definitely isn't the same team they've had the past few years. They are still the favorites to make it out of their region because of their pitching. They have 1 arm that sits low to mid 80s and 2 other arms that are mid to high 70s with good off speed stuff. If you can avoid their top 3 bats in their lineup then you have a shot to beat them. Their 4-9 hitters are average at best. Wartburg's ace was able to shut them down last week in the game Wartburg won 4-2.

      It is the longest season. Plus, 30 games a year. No Christmas break. I would say basketball is the most time consuming.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By BDURHAM · Posted

      Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.

      What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
