Both teams are coming off blow-out wins in Round 1. You might think that SGC would be favored, since they are at home, and since they beat Covington in the regular season meeting between the two. Or,

I had forgotten about that CC win. Nice analogy. Let's see how this one turns out.

Gotta love some good fan banter! I think we ALL know how evenly matched these teams are and that this will be a knock down, drag out fight. Nobody is gonna come into that stadium and dominate the othe

South Gibson had their chance, chances to be more accurate. Numerous times in reality.

1st chance late 4th qtr less than 3- 4 minutes left Covington on their own 40 on 3rd down and 5 ytg or so  runs option & Cov QB just pitches it wat behind & way over RB's(pitch man) head, SGC defender has a chance(why he din't i don't know) to scoop/pick it up and run untouched  35-40 yards for go ahead game winning score with less than 2+ minutes to go in game. He didn't, Cov recovered it & retained poss.

Now it's 4th down & 15+ to go for 1st down on Cov's 35-40 or so,

While punting the snap then goes over Punter's head and he has no chance but to recover it for a 20-25 yard loss and give South Gibson the ball 1st & 10 on the 20yard line with 2 minutes left for the game. Couldn't ask for a better opportunity. 4 plays go NOWHERE. Ballgame

First, 

Congrats to the chargers! You guys did what you had to do to win the contest. Y'all won the game fair and square and no one can dispute that. The game was a pretty clean game that was not decided by officials ( thankfully! ) Also Thank you to charger fans that were nice, complimentary, and pleasant guests to the hornets nest. I will not be pulling for the Chargers all the way!

When the game started Covington basically gifted SGC 10 free points. That would be all the points SGC could muster. I have said all year long that Milan had the best D we have seen all year. I change that now. This games Chargers D is the best we have seen all year. I know for fact that Covington put in hours of prep work to get ready for this contest. It is hard to beat a good team twice and that proved to be true again tonight. After CHS scored the early 2 touchdowns SGC shut down the Chargers offense. This was a defensive struggle that went to the favor of the Chargers. 

Wow what a great game! Would anyone expect anything less from this region? The 3 seed is all that is remaining. 

I honestly thought that when the snap went over the punters head and SGC got the ball on the 20 we were going to score in just a few plays and win the game 17-14. Covington defense never blinked. Again tip my hat to the defensive performance of the Chargers. 

For my boys. Proud of you guys. Y'all are 5 points away from being 12-0 and on your way to the first quarter finals appearance in school history. Only 2 losses on the year are 1 point to Haywood and 4 points to Covington. I know that it did not end the way we wanted it to but there is still a lot to be said for what was done this season. This team is the first team to outright win the region in school history.

Good luck to the Chargers the rest of the season.

First, I want to congratulate my Covington Chargers for advancing to the quarter-finals of the playoffs.

SGC started the game strong, with a sky kick (hadn't seen those since Rip Scherer was coaching the Memphis Tigers). We didn't cover it, so immediate turnover, followed by a SGC TD. 

Deja vu all over again, SGC does the same on the ensuing kickoff. Turnover, and SGC field goal. 

The good news for Charger fans is that our D gave up nothing else the rest of the night. See my earlier post about Pentaphobia, fear of the number 5. SGC now knows what this means. With Caleb Winfrey (no. 5) back on defense, our Charger defense is back playing at championship levels. Note that Caleb was injured and DNP in our season losses to Milan and SGC. 

I hope that we can build on this win and get momentum to advance again in the playoffs. Two more wins would put us in Cookeville for the third consecutive Championship game. Three more wins would bring home that elusive Gold Ball.

Now, for South Gibson County, congratulations on a great 10-2 season. Y'all broke some new ground winning the regular season Region 7-3A title. Playoff football is different,  but you guys played a great game tonight. You have nothing to be ashamed of. I think that playoff experience by your players and coaches will help you in the future

Hey, thanks for the kind words, Million Dollar Man. I've enjoyed our banter back and forth, plus the chance to meet you in person. I forgot to get a darn autograph, though. Oh, well, I'll save that for next time.

I know this was a tough loss for your guys, but tell them the same thing that is always said about the NCAA tourney ..... everybody but one team is going home with a loss. They should be proud of a historic 10-2 season. It will look good in the record books and when good teams at your school are remembered.

I’ve definitely got a few more gray hairs after this one. The first kickoff I gave our guy the benefit of a doubt probably thinking that someone was coming up behind him to field that kickoff. The second he calls a fair catch and the ball bounces off his face mask....smh...but that happens in high school. The bad pitch from our QB that should have probably been scooped up for a SGC TD. And finally, the most important special teams play of the year so far results in a snap sailing 6 foot over our punter’s head and is recovered by SG inside the 20. SG had every chance in the world to win this game and played very good defense throughout. HOWEVER, with number 5 Healthy, I’ve always felt that this is probably the best defense Covington has had in a long time and boy they showed it tonight. This defense can play with anyone in the state. I hope they can continue to lead this team and help our young offense. Great game to both teams! Congrats on a great season SG! And GO CHARGERS beat Wooddale!

      Why Are They Losing?

      By INoLosers · Posted

      One of the biggest loosing teams in Mid-State are the Macon County Tigerettes. I have noticed that the roster is smaller than in the years past. All the senior's have quit. We have a great group of Jr High players coming up. I sure hope they don't loose them, like they have lost so many others this year. With this young group of girls coming up, a weaker district, they should have no problem going to State.

      It was updated this season, because I did it.  Linder is the school's all-time leading rusher at 5,156 yards with 2,436 of those coming in 2014.

      Oh, I’m sure you did. Maybe you heard just a rumor, but considering we have a football practice field and a soccer field that’s frequently used for lacrosse games and practices, I highly doubt it. Let me change that. I know for a fact that didn’t happen.   Glad you finally stopped attacking a bunch of high school students, but still obsessed with the coaching staff for some unknown reason, even though you could name more than three (at most) coaches without looking it up. But now come up with something else.

      Now that wouldn’t surprise me a bit. That has been going on heavily since the days of Larry Kerr @ AC. One of the major reasons CC has never really had much at all, barring about 2 seasons in football. AC milks it dry.
