Wooddale @ Covington Round 3

I'm rolling with Wooddale in this one as well. Home field advantage goes to the Chargers. The common opponent comparisons have one that is not similar ... Melrose. However, Woddale beat a team that beat Covington.

Last year Wooddale lost this same QB for the season early in the year. It hurt them dearly. He's been healthy this year and he's tearing it up. Good for him.

Blackhaven of course they got a chance

 

Of course, 

They have a chance. I also have a chance of meeting the tooth fairy later tonight or maybe the president!!.... JK! 

No disrespect to the Cardinals I promise, but If the Cardinals are going to beat the Chargers at home they are going to need to play a perfect game, 0 turnovers, force at least 2 turnovers, not be plagued by penalties, and also find a way to score on the nasty Covington defense. 

If the Cardinals are able to beat the Chargers I will absolutely tip my hat, and be the biggest fans the cards moving forward I simply do not see it happening. The Chargers are too well coached and have too many athletes with multiple systems to run offensively to overcome the gap. They also have home field advantage somehow.

What radio station carries the Covington games? 

Do they have live streaming?

Not sure I can I pick up a signal from this far away. 

U.S. 51 Country WKBQ 93.5 FM. Their website has a listen live option. Or, I have the TUNE IN app and have listened to games on 93.5 through that app when traveling before.

Looks like we may need to pull out the Canopies like last year VS Stratford....probably gonna be a wet one! That’s was neat last year, stands were full of canopy tents....but we still showed up that’s the important thing

Chance of rain is high. At least our field is in much better shape this year. By the time we played Stratford last year, all those games on that field when it was wet had created a lot of mud.

This year it's been dry for previous games, plus the field got a rest when we were on the road for Rounds 1 & 2. I expect the field to be fine for this game.

We need some rich alumni to contribute $500,000 or so to put in artificial turf. I understand that is how Melrose got their turf, and I heard that Alcoa's was donated by one of their grads in the NFL.

The Covington Leader had a nice article that summarized last week's game and had the following excerpt (with a quote from Charger coach J.R.Kirby):
 
Next up are the Wooddale Cardinals, who held off Milan 19-16 on Friday night to reach the quarterfinal round.
 
“They are a well-coached team with an experienced staff,” Kirby said. “They are a typical team coming out of Memphis in the third round, plenty of athletes with speed. They will spread the field. It will be a challenge for our young team.”
 
In one of the vagaries of the playoff system, although Wooddale is the Region 8-AAA champion (Covington finished third in Region 7-AAA), in an odd-numbered year, it has to travel. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. on Friday at Covington Athletic Field.
 
The Chargers will be seeking a “hat trick” of sorts, gunning for a third straight state semifinal appearance.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
