I think I like this format much better than traditional jamborees. It sounds like a fun night for Charger and Tornado fans.  Let us know how it turns out.

Varsity Union City VS Covington 

After two 20minute quarters it ended 0-0. Both teams slugged it out. It will be a good season for both teams I believe.  Both teams had some injuries that kept a few players out but it was a classic slug fest at the purple and gold jamboree.

Good luck the rest of the year Covington.

Yep, it was a draw for the two Varsity squads. Neither team could generate enough offense to get in the end zone. I’m a little concerned about what I’ve seen from the Covington offense this year. I saw us running a single running back and three wideouts vs. Southside and what looked like a pistol tonight vs. Union City. Neither generated consistent yardage. I missed the scrimmage vs. Huntingdon, so can’t comment on that one. I’m sure Coach Kirby will adjust, and he has the old wing-T as a fallback, if needed. 
 

I think the Covington defense is a solid unit and is ready to go. I’ll keep you posted on the O, as it’s apparently a work in progress.

Hmm. This is interesting. I would imagine the ole WIN-T will be back out and operational soon! Seems like a few years ago y'all started the season with a new offense. Coaches could not get what they wanted out of it so they dropped the whole thing and went back to the wingT after just 1 game.
