I appreciate the history on Pearl-Cohn. Is your coach the same guy who played QB at Ole Miss?

Looking at your list of wins, I decided to check them out in the Sonny_Moore power rankings. The latest ranking, BTW, shows Covington at 128 and PC at 127. Pretty even.

As far as the teams you beat this year, MBA is the only one who is up there in the power rankings (at 132). The rest are 122 or lower, so I'll give you props for that MBA win, but according to this list, anyway, none of your other wins rated as high as Covington.

If it makes you feel better to project a 42-14 win, that's fine with me. All I can say is that Covington will show up and we'll play the best we can. Let's see what the score is after the game.

 

 

QB that played for Ole Miss is his nephew!!!

They would’ve moved the game to Vandy but the TSSAA was afraid that the Vandy officials couldn’t handle the size of a crowd this game would bring, since it would be the largest crowd there all year.

What did 'ol sonny Moore poll say about Alcoa's chance?

Sonny says - do not pass GO, do not collect $200.

Seriously, y'all are ranked 143, so that's what, about 15 points higher than Covington or PC.  But, sometimes that pointy ball takes funny bounces. That's why they play these games. Otherwise, we could stay home and let the computer tell us who won.

I'd rather play for the Gold Ball and go home with the Silver Ball than to never get a chance to be there at all. plus, I can get Ralph's donuts in Cookeville.

While we are talking history, let's look at data from the TSSAA website comparing the football history of the two schools:

Pearl-Cohn

Playoff record - 43-19

22 appearances in the playoffs

Finals - 2015, 1997, 1996

Championships 1997, 1996

Covington

Playoff record - 46-22

23 appearances in the playoffs

Finals - 2018, 2017, 2012, 2003, 2000, 1971

Championships None

 

What I get out of this is that the two schools have remarkably similar records in TSSAA playoffs. PC has two championships, and Covington has never won one. On the other hand, Covington has been in the finals 6 times to PC's 3. Still, PC gets bragging rights for two Gold Balls back 20-odd years ago.

I think that each school deserves respect. I'm not going to beat my chest and proclaim Covington the winner right now. I'll wait to see who is ahead after the final whistle.  

That's alot of silver tho!!! Pearl Cohn wasn't even around in 71...lol

Ha! You either go by it or not?! You used it to compare PC to Covington, but not for #1 Alcoa?

Probably a good choice.  Never could figure out that polls logistics. Now, the other you used, TSSAA historical playoff and Championships would be better. Those are facts. Like the 17 state Championships won by Alcoa!:thumb:

Nah, you didn't take my comments the way I intended. Alcoa would be the heavy favorite if Covington made it to Cookeville. By Sonny_Moore or any other ranking you would be picked to win. Y'all are in another thread, so I didn't comment on you here.

But, as y'all found out last year, our little West Tennessee guys are fairly tough. As I recall, y'all scored in the last two minutes to take the lead and win the game. It wasn't a blow-out and we enjoyed the competition. 

No doubt, y'all can probably get an 18th state title. But if you play us, we won't lay down and just roll over.

Yeh, same here, that was my point too......i wouldn't read into that poll! Alcoa knows that the games in Cookeville will be a war!

Makes for fun games to watch and yap about!B)

      2024 Mustangs

      Well nothing new, the Mustangs are really talented again this coming season!  They very well could go undefeated in regular season.  We shall see what happens in postseason.  I think the path to state title game is a little clearer than years past.  I think the Stangs are going to be really good and I think the traditional teams around in 2A are not going to be as strong.  It should be a fun season!

      Way too early 1A favorites 2024

      By Baseball8 · Posted

      I would not put too much stock into the UH over Eagleville. From what I understand they were pretty banged up in that tourney. Catcher was out, they were throwing pretty deep in their bullpen and a few key players were beat up in their infield. Sounds like they are pretty healthy heading into the district tournament. Look at their schedule, they played some really good teams.
