They are a good team, just very predictable

I agree!!

very fast, physical, and well coached!! They play hard and don’t give up. I see them making the semifinals or even the ship. Definitely the best team the Tomcats have have seen all season!

Like already said. Well coached, play hard and played fast. I was kind of surprised they didn’t try eating more clock. Also pretty predictable, but hey it works for them. Y’all should be proud of y’all’s field! It looked great!

A fast, athletic team. Offensively, I'm sure what they do what works against their usual schedule, but just too predictable for a team equally athletic and fast like Haywood. In all honesty, the score really wasn't really indicative of how dominant Haywood was. At one point, it was 34-3 and the clock was running before Haywood took the foot off the gas. I think they can make a run in Class 3, but have very little chance unless they open it up and use their athletic advantage. But I do respect them for playing Haywood and hopefully this will continue, but I think the chances are slim and none.

Totally agree with the final score not reflecting how much we dominated that game. I think the refs had a big part to do with that. Also give Covington big props for playing us, I think we should have always kept playing them! We should play each other every year! Hope you are wrong about it ending

Just shows how big of gap there is between Haywood and rest of west Tennessee. They could’ve put 50 on Covington 

[Chargercats]

Last. night’s game definitely shows how good Haywood is! Covington is a really good football team!!!! Haywood’s defense stuffed that Covington offense and that’s not an easy task!  (Even if it is predictable) 

Any team playing these two programs will have to bring their A game for sure!!

Covington can beat teams with far less talent, but they simply cannot beat teams with equal or more talent than them. They run an offense with zero scheme and the coaching staff does very little to put the team in advantageous situations when playing better teams. It seems as if the game plan last night was to run the ball up the middle and then hopefully use that to open up other parts of the offense. A blind man could have seen that Covington was not going to run the ball up the middle consistently on Haywood.

The Covington coaching staff is fine but they are in over their heads when it comes to trying to out scheme a team better than them. They simply cannot do it. It’s been that way since Coach Wheeler left for East Tennessee. I’m not sure Covington has won a game where they were at a talent disadvantage since then. 
 

haywood is a great team, and there is no reason to hang your heard when losing to them, but I expect more out of Covington as an outsider and I’m sure their fans do as well. If 8/9 regular season wins is the goal, then you will get that ever year at Covington. If state championship appearances is the goal, good luck. That’s not happening.

I sincerely wish Covington would play up to 4A and be in our region next year. It’s just not right to me not having Covington, Ripley and Dyersburg in our region. Ripley and Dyersburg are both cowards for not keeping us on their schedule.

I agree with parts of this. However, the gap between Alcoa and other 3A teams is massive. Covington will walk to the semis this year and having a home game against an East Nashville more than likely could go either way in my opinion. I think silver balls are very attainable with this team.

This brings up a question for myself. Will Alcoa play up to 4a next year?
