Covington is gonna run our offense, you are right about that. The thing is, nobody has been able to stop it so far in 2021. Ripley slowed it down, but we still got 30. I don’t expect anything different on that side of the ball.

Where I expect Coach Kirby to be unpredictable is on defense. I guarantee that he and DC Katrosh will have a new wrinkle or two for Friday. I recall the last two times we played Westview. They had schemes that totally shut down highly touted QB Simpson. That’s just one example of their innovative defensive schemes.
 

 

It’s honestly not much to think about when stopping both offenses. Both run wing T and will have similar ways to try and stop it. Honestly the easiest way is following the guards they take you to the ball lol

It's the Clash of the Titans, and this is THE game of the week in West Tennessee.   The Jackson Sun predicts a score of Dyersburg 27, Covington 26.  I'll be cheering for Covington.

The more I think about this game, the more I am starting to think Covington wins. Who has Dyersburg played that can compare to Covington? Dyersburg should have lost to Munford and Covington was defeated Munford easily. Covington does have a recent history of losing big games in the regular season. I wouldn't be shocked if Covington won big, or if Dyersburg wins a close one. I don't see Dyersburg running away with this one.

IT's funny that you say that, cause Dyersburg has a history of winning these games in the regular season then laying eggs in the playoffs. As a Dburg fan i'm tired of this narrative but we have definitely earned it. This game has a ton of hype to it and I would love to see Dburg win it, but for me the more important game is potentially in November ,so as long as I see Dburg can compete with Covington then I'm ok. It's ok to lose the battle as long as we win the war is my mindset. Dburg has proven year in year out that they can win a lot of games in the regular season but cant get over the hump in the post season. I say potential game in November because I'm not dismissing Ripley.

I was playing around with Cal_preps site to project game results. Their score:

Covington 35

Dyersburg 19

Of course, this is all just for fun, because the game will be decided on the field, not in somebody’s computer. Still, I find it interesting to get their take on the possible outcome.

Reading about Dyersburg’s schedule, I decided to check it out. Here’s what I found. Both Dyersburg and Covington have one Covid forfeit win, over Bolton and Millington, respectively. Pretty even so far. However check the records of the 4 teams each has defeated to achieve dual 5-0 records:

Dyersburg schedule

King Prep 2A record 0-4

Dyer County 5A record 3-3

Munford 5A record 4-2

Bolivar 3A record 1-4

combined win / loss record = 8-13

Covington schedule

Munford 5A record 4-2

Brighton 5A record 4-2

Jackson Northside 4A record 4-2

Ripley 3A record 3-3

combined win / loss record = 15-9

Very interesting schedule comparison.

The only team Covington has faced that Dyersburg hasn't would be JNS.

In my opinion, this game looks a lot better on paper than it will on the field. Dyersburg hasn't been tested much and the one team that did test them had their doors blown off by the Chargers. Glad there's a lot of hype behind this one, but Covington wins by 3 TDs!

I think on paper Covington is favored to win the game. However, I believe that DBurg is going to give Covington everything they want and it will come down to 1 or 2 plays to decide the game. 

 

does anyone know if they are streaming the games?

Not true. Look back a couple of posts and you will see that, for instance, Covington has faced Brighton (4-2) AND  Ripley (3-3) while D'burg played King Prep (0-4) and Bolivar  (1-4).  There's a huge difference in the two team's schedules.

Huge difference!!! I scream to the roof tops every year about that annual MLK game.
