Covington @ Bolivar

[CHARGERFAN]

Covington visits Bolivar this week. The Covington paper says that a win here will clinch the Region 7-3A championship for the Chargers. Bolivar is 1-6 overall and 0-3 in the Region. I suspect that the Chargers will be heavy favorites in this one.

Any thoughts on Bolivar? Why do they have such a problem being competitive in football?

Ok,,I’ll play with you. “Running clock by the second half,” Covington by as many as they want” , “JV  will get some playing time” blah blah blah LOL.   Next…..

Coaching. Coaching. Coaching. 

If, you want to have a program you must hire a great coach that will put his kids in a place to win. Bolivar has been dysfunctional for a long time. They hired a good coach in Wilson a few years ago. They were competitive and won. After that, trash. I hate to see it. Bolivar has the talent to be competitive and win.... Just a total lack of organizational leadership and coaching. 

That is all.

I wondered what their issue might be.
 

Of course, the community plays a part here. Covington has always had parents and boosters involved to encourage the coaches and players. Back in the 1990’s there was a Quarterback Club. Now the Covington Gridiron Association is active with fundraisers, boosters who donate team meals, etc. 

One other aspect is having Middle School programs that play good football and feed players into the high school.
