Milan vs Covington Region 7-3A showdown

[Allthetalk]

Covington has speed, speed and more speed. Their defense is a swarming type defense who is very physical. I believe this is the best team Milan will have seen yet. That is no disrespect to Peabody who has a great team as well. Offensively they seem to have a lot more folks involved this year and makes them harder to stop. I believe Covington wins this game, but I am eager to see how Milan matches up with them because I believe these two teams will meet for a second time in the playoffs and its always hard to beat a good team twice whoever comes out on top.

We have a nice elevated area right outside the fence not 10 yards from the end-zone by the scoreboard that some people watch it from. If I didn't have a season ticket, that's where I would be. 

Thanks for the info. May be a ton of people in that area for this game. Yall still shooting the cannon? First time I was at Covington for a game didn’t know about the cannon. I thought the world was coming to a end lol!

Yes the firetruck sirens still blare and the cannon still goes off when they run out. We now do fireworks after every score and if we win, they shoot the rest off at the end of the game. Pretty neat.

We are starting to get in the mix of things with the playoffs.... We are starting to find out who is, and who is not. 

This game means a TON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have my eyes pealed back for this contest. I have been waiting on it for a while. Both teams have very respectable programs, coaches, and teams. Covington year in and year out is always a tough out. Milan has a new coach, new stadium, and a revamped program. 

Should be a barn burner!!! 

 

I will give my prediction later in the week.

Prediction:

 

Covington 17

Milan 14

In overtime. Covington kicks a field goal to win the game after Milan fumbles the ball in the first round of overtime.

I think if someone gets to 20 they will win. Coin flip on who will win.

Here's another look at the history of this series:

As I said in a previous post, Milan leads the series 9-7.

But, in recent history, Covington has only been in Region 7-3A with Milan since 2017. Prior to that, the TSSAA had Covington in a region with Memphis teams like Raleigh Egypt and Melrose.

In the time that Covington has been in this region, here are the results between these two:

2017

Covington 28 Milan 27 (regular season)

Covington 21 Milan 14 (playoffs)

2018

Covington 45 Milan 26 (regular season)

Covington 22 Milan 0 (playoffs)

2019

Milan 14 Covington 7 (regular season)

So, Milan is behind 1-4 as a Region competitor with Covington. Not that any of this affects tonight's game, but it is interesting.

Chargerfan since you're usually asking people where to eat and no one is asking "Where's the best pace to eat"? Talked to a feller that used to go through there years ago and he said Craig's BBQ on 51 , Doug's or McDs
