I agree with this! Dyersburg has a good team, however, they do not have the playoff experience that covington has! Dyersburg may even have more talent but Covington has beat many teams that has had more talent! Covington knows how to prepare and again i say, They will be more hungry due to how their season ended last year. Sorry Dyersburg, Covington wins!

I will say, IF Dyersburg wins, i will cheer for them all the way!!!

Go Chargers!!!

And Vice Versa Chargercat! I know we all get on here and battle with each other throughout the regular season and the first few rounds of the playoffs, but make no bones about it atleast from my stand point, we stick together here in rural west tennessee when our teams make it to the semis or championship games. If Covington wins Friday, I will be a huge Charger supporter the rest of the way. Go West Tennessee!!

I'm not sure Covington has been out talented by anyone in the last decade or so. Especially by anyone they have beat. They are somehow stacked year after year.

Good luck to all teams hope everyone can escape without injury. 

We hear a lot about Covingtons backs, and they are good, no doubt.  Dyersburg uses numerous backs in Stowe’s scheme, which is deceiving when it comes to performance numbers.  Dyersburg has good backs as well, just not as well known as Covington’s.  One of the backs who did not play in two regular season games has passed the 1,000-yard mark. He has 74 carries for 1,015 yards and 11 touchdowns in eight games. This gives him an average of 13.7 yards per carry and 126.9 yards per game. With 11 touchdowns in 74 carries, he scores, on average, once in every 6.7 carries.  Those are dang good numbers, for someone who carries the ball about 10 times per game.

Looking forward, the winner of Dburg Cov will face a very talented and good Nashville East……also known as Pearl’s little sister.

Both Dyersburg and Cov have the speed to match up with East, however I hear that their line is very good.

Regardless, the next two weeks for the winner will be a 4 quarter trench war. 
 

And who ever wins that game, can go on to Chattanoogie and have a good time…and bring that Silver ball home!

Yes. Broke a couple of long ones.

Covington routs Ripley to set up quarterfinal rematch with Dyersburg

By

Steve Holt

 

Some avid followers of high school football predicted a 35-21 Charger victory in Friday’s Class 3A second round playoff game at Covington Athletic Field.

The Chargers hit the prediction on the number but, apparently, no one factored in a CHS defense that took charge and blanked the Tigers 35-0 in what was anticipated to be a battle to the final whistle.

With the win Covington advanced to the state quarterfinals where it will face Dyersburg on the road Friday.

Covington (9-2) took the opening kickoff and marched 59 yards to go up 7-0 on Tanner Stewart’s six-yard scoring run. That was all the scoring in the first alf. A lost fumble and a major penalty deep in Tiger territory thwarted Covington’s offense in the first 24 minutes.

“We had some breakdowns in the first half that slowed the offense,” said Covington coah J.R. Kirby,” but we made the corrections we needed at the half and took care of business the rest of the way.”

The Tigers took away the pass, so, “We took what they gave us,” Kirby said.

Ripley’s defense called for a fullback attack. Senior Eumorrion Flowers answered the bell with his best career performance: 182 yards on 22 carries with a 57-yard TD run for good measure. He was the leader in a ground attack that averaged 7.6 yards per play totaling 421 yards on 55 carries.

Stewart was 0-1 passing but added 25 yards on six carries. The rest of the scoring came in the second half. Jaylen Fayne ran for 156 yards and a 41-yard score on 14 carries. Jamarion Dowell scored twice on runs of two and 41 yards, collecting 68 yards on 11 touches.

Covington’s defense was lights out.

“This was our most complete defensive game this season,” said Kirby.

Ripley was shut out with a total offensive effort of 92 yards: 62 yards on 9-of-18 passing with two interceptions and 33 rushing yards on 25 attempts.

A.C. Mason and Fayne each had an interception that the offense converted into touchdowns. So complete was the CHS defense, Ripley never got past the Covington 45 yard line. The Tigers averaged 1.3 yards per play.

The matchup the Chargers and fans have waited for since a controversial loss on Oct. 1 loss at Dyersburg is coming. The Trojans are 12-0 and, like CHS, are looking for a semifinal trip to Middle Tennessee the day after Thanksgiving.

“Dyersburg is big, fast and has several skilled players,” Kirby said. “We know what we have to do and are ready for the challenge.”

Can’t apply the transitive property to football, but Dyersburg had Ripley 30-0 at the half and could’ve scored much more than 50 had we not put in the backups after halftime and had a running clock. In my opinion, if Dyersburg plays loose and not uptight like they did last time, they’ll win by multiple scores. I like being the underdog and not getting much respect though. Keeps the boys hungry.

Not sure how Dyersburg is an “underdog” here. They are 1st in the region and already beat Covington once. Still, if that is the role y’all want to fill, go ahead. 
 

I think that the terms “favorite” or “underdog” really don’t apply here. Both teams have talent and both have won lots of games. I suspect that the game will be decided by which team makes the least mistakes. Will one team play “tight” and make mistakes they haven’t made all year? We will see.

Dyersburg win by multiple scores?? lol not likely. Ya'll had three big plays that had ya'll in the game! Are ya'll good? Yes!! absolutely!! But the Chargers will be on a different level! I don't think the trojans know what's coming! 

However, if Dburg wins, I'll pull for ya'll the rest of the way 100%!!

Go Chargers!!
