SG never really challenged after we gifted them first two scores!!

Not sure this is an accurate statement about a game that wasn't decided until there was only 30 seconds left on the clock. Covington did what they had to do to win the game just as SGC did in the first matchup. It was a great battle to watch between 2 really good football teams. I said it when these 2 played the first time, turnovers, special teams, penalties are the difference makers in games with teams evenly matched.  It was a great defense war. SGC had a great season and will continue to be in the top tier of one of the toughest regions in the state. Good luck to the Chargers in the games to come.

What an awesome football game last night! Truly disappointing that one of these teams had to go home. I think both are better than Wooddale, but only time will tell. Hopefully Covington can continue to represent the region and make it back to the title game!

I’m not familiar with Ralph’s.  However, if  (and that’s a big if) we make it to Cookeville, I’ll definitely check them out.  Did you ever have donuts from the Kream Kastle (in B’ville) during the 60s?  They were the best!

I do want to congratulate SGC on a great season.  The Hornets were well-coached, disciplined, motivated, and consistent in every game they played. They have definitely established themselves as one of the best programs in Tennessee.

 Ralph's is a famous spot in Cookeville. It was there when I was a Tenn Tech student over 50 years ago. Yeah, I think I remember the Kream Castle too.
