Covington travels to Tiny Knee Stadium next week to take on the Ripley Tigers. This is a long-standing rivalry between two schools in neighboring counties. Covington leads the series 22-15. Ripley' last win in the series was 24-19 in 2014.

Covington's power ranking is 139, and Ripley is at 113. The difference is 26, but give Ripley 3 for home field. The point spread should be 23 points. 

What's y'all's thinking here?

Tell you what I'm thinking, Covington by 50 & the running clock in the 2nd half keeps it less than 70.

 

Ripley like Westview has played absolutely nobody & when they even played a mediocre team lost. Have 1 forfeit win & a win against Millington that has been terrible for the last 1/2 decade and the perennial "power" OC.

Where will the Covington and Milan game be played at? I got to see Covington this year

That game will be in Covington. However, Tipton County is severely limiting attendance due to Covid. The last home game, only season ticket holders were admitted on the Covington side (450 I think), and I'm pretty sure visitors only get 150 or 200 tickets. None are sold at the gate.

Your best bet is the Live Stream shown on Facebook on the Covington Gridiron Association page. We are doing that for all games recently. And Milan may also do a Live Stream.

Darn! Thanks for the information.

One question I have is about tickets. What has Ripley been doing on visitor tickets? They have been hard to come by for most of our road games.

Are they selling at the gate or do you have to buy in advance?

 

This will be Ripley's first home game due to the Dyer County cancellation so that's a great question, first time they will have to deal with it this year!

    • 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.
