So want to ask Covington posters your thoughts on this. I have been told that Covington dresses in the low 40’s and Milan is in the mid 60’s. Will that make any difference in this game?  The number dressing for Milan does not include freshman and there are 20 seniors. This is a mature Bulldawg team. 

That is incorrect. Covington dresses between 50-60, however, that does include freshman. We only have 40 players sophomore-senior. We have 13 seniors, which is about on par for us these days. It could make a difference, however you can only put 11 men on the field and Covington is VERY well conditioned. I don't see this being an issue or a contributing part to who wins this game. Just my opinion. I honestly believe it will come down to turnovers, penalties, and execution of game plan. All else seems to be pretty equal.

I apparently was given some bad information or maybe they were talking about minus freshmen.

Great summary. Covington's weight lifting and conditioning program has been a big advantage for us for years now. I'm not sure how much that has been affected by Covid, but I think we will be fine.

That is almost for certain. Unless an act of God happens these two will meet again in the qtr finals to see who hosts Pearl Cohn. 

Suppose this:

If Covington beats Milan, then later SGC beats Covington, and if Milan, Covington,, and SGC win all their remaining games in the region, you would have a 3-way tie with those three having lost one Region game each. In that case Milan beat SGC, Covington beat Milan, then SGC beat Covington. What's the tie-breaker? I'm sure it's written down somewhere, I'm just too lazy to look it up.

If what you describes happens best overall record would determine the 1 seed. Then the heads up winner between the remaining two would determine the 2 and 3 seeds.

Thanks. That "best overall record" may be hard to determine in this Covid pandemic, with teams not playing the same number of games. Covington, e.g., will not be playing Sheffield since Shelby County is not playing. That gives us a 9-game season, unless we decide to pick up a replacement game.

I'm not to certain about PC, yet. They had their hands full will Hillsboro last week and pulled it out in OT. East Nasty may be the team to beat. We will find out Friday night when those two match up.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
