Haywood @ Covington 10/21/22

The Covington Chargers will welcome the visiting Haywood Tomcats to our new turf field this coming Friday. I’m sure both fan bases will be excited about this one. In the AP poll, Haywood is ranked #3 in 4A while Covington is ranked #3 in 3A. Haywood is the consensus best team in West Tennessee and is undefeated. Covington has run off 7 straight wins after losing their opener to Munford (now ranked #2 in the AP poll for 5A).
 

After Haywood cinched the 7-4A crown by defeating SGC, the two teams are now  the respective champs of Region 7-4A and Region 7-3A. That just adds a little more luster to this game. 
 

Let the discussion begin.

Chargerfan, you're wish has been granted!  Haywood will come to Covington undefeated, and I know you and the Chargers would love nothing more than to avenge last year's loss and send the Cats back home with a loss.  These two teams have ruined each other's quest for an undefeated season more than once throughout the history of this rivalry.

After all of the excitement of last night's victory and activities, the Cats can't have a let down, and I don't think they will.  Stay focused Haywood.  

North Side is the only common opponent between the Tomcats and the Chargers.  Haywood defeated North Side 47-0 while Covington defeated the Indians 41-0.  Haywood defeated Covington 33-0 last year.  Go Tomcats!

This contest should be another highly emotional game with a big crowd and a lot of atmosphere.  It's going to be a tough one, and that's a good thing.  Both teams need games like this to prepare them for the playoffs.

Who knows?  The Covington-Haywood game might even get nominated for the Titans' game of the week.  If it does, both sides need to vote early and vote often!

So, Stacmot, what’s the series record between these schools. The HS database says 17-17-1, but I believe that was last year’s data. Isn’t Haywood up 18-17-1 now?

Haywood leads 18-17-1 now.  Of course Byars-Hall led the series prior to 1970.  (29-17-2).

That’s what I thought. So, to christen Covington’s new artificial turf, it’s only fitting that we win this year’s game to even the series at 18-18-1. 
 

But, having been to Brownsville to get a preview of this year’s Tomcat squad vs. Lake County, I am definitely worried about being able to do that.  Y’all don’t seem to have any weaknesses. I saw a couple of bad kickoffs by your kicker, but other than that, your guys looked tough in every facet of the game. I know y’all are better than Munford, and I was amazed at how they took care of business against the Chargers in our opening game.

    • Winfree's senior year was the season she needed to secure more college interest. That opportunity was taken away from her. A lot of false assumptions can be made about what happened and what the options are. Unfortunately, the former coach and administration did not allow Winfree to have due process. A lawsuit was filed for a reason, and it will run its course by people who conduct discovery and take depositions. Unless the parties settle out of court, a lot of the pertinent issues will come to the public surface. I wrote about many of the issues here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/11/17/grounds-for-investigation-and-suspension/ I interviewed Winfree after she was dismissed from the team and wrote about it here: https://bdnewsletter.news/2023/12/01/a-new-interview-with-sable-winfree/ Winfree had been on teams in Warren County since the fourth grade and never been dismissed from a team. The real questions are why was Winfree dismissed from the team, and why the administration backed a coach whom they did not rehire.
    • What is the hold up here? I have not heard anything in weeks. Are they waiting for the right person or is something else going on?
    • Per usual, we'll be hard to beat in the regular season, I'm sure. It's the post season that I'm more worried about, specifically the coaches. Maybe they'll be able to make some adjustments that will keep the momentum in our favor. How's Grays recovery coming along?
    • Something don’t add up here a college coach is not going to turn away a good player they need just because they didn’t get along with their high school coach 
    • RR, you might remember. Didn’t someone hide the kicking shoe that game? It seems I remember we had missed a kick the week before, and we needed all the points we could get. We thought we had a better chance going for two, so $?&@$ hid the shoe after the first miss that game. No one on our sideline looked for it very hard.
