CHARGERFAN Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 (edited) So now the bracket is down to this. East Nashville will travel to Covington on Nov. 25 to determine who will advance to the 3A State Championship game. I don’t know much about East Nashville, so I assume that y’all will fill me in. Covington offensively runs the wing-t. We have two pretty good running backs who power the ground game for us. Jamarion Dowell (Senior) is a Mr. Football semifinalist. His running mate, Skylan Smith, is a sophomore and has gaudy running stats like Dowell. Our quarterback, Braden Gover, is a junior. He can pass, but that’s not a big part of our offense. Covington is pretty good defensively. Dyersburg scored 10 points on us in the quarterfinal. Other than that, our D had only given up 19 total points against the 3A schools in our region this season. We welcome you visitors to Tipton County. Hope you get a chance to try West Tennessee BBQ while you are here.

CHARGERFAN Posted November 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 I've had time to compare the playoff records of these two schools. The data here is from the High School database, but I had to update their info to include records for 2021 and 2022. Covington has much more playoff experience than East Nashville, but neither team has been able to win that elusive Gold Ball. PLAYOFF RECORD COMPARISON (INCLUDING 2022) EAST COVINGTON NASHVILLE OVERALL RECORD 12-10 51-25 APPEARANCES 11 25 1ST ROUND 7-4 18-6 2ND ROUND 2-5 16-3 3RD ROUND 2-0 11-5 SEMIFINALS 1-0 6-5 FINALS 0-1 0-6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workinprogress Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Chatgerfan EN has not been playing football for very long. They played back in the day then stopped for many years. The program was brought back probably almost 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastNasty Posted November 19, 2022 Report Share Posted November 19, 2022 Seen the chargers play multiple times against PC. This should be a real test stopping a throwing Wing T team. We got to play mistake free football and get the chargers off the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

workinprogress Posted November 21, 2022 Report Share Posted November 21, 2022 (edited) Yes sir. Couldn't remember the exact year Bubba and crew started. Didn't want to miss the exact season. Seems like just yesterday and now they are playing about as well as any other top metro school.

EN is from the booming metro Nashville area. Covington is the county seat of rural Tipton County. East Nashville has been playing football since 2008, or 14 years. Covington High School was originally Byars-Hall High School. The name was changed to Covington High in 1970. Football began at Byars-Hall in 1921, so that’s 101 years. But, when I look at some sources that might point toward who is favored in this game, it appears to be a tossup. I’m looking forward to the matchup between the Chargers and the Eagles Friday night.

Didnt know til last week that AC Young was on crutches and a few other key players out with injuries. No doubt will have an effect on this game. You want all the bullets in the gun this time of year.
