So, the Chargers open the 2023 season at Munford. Since Munford won the game last season at Covington, the Chargers will be hoping to return the favor. Still, Munford had a great season last year and I expect them to be the favorite to win again.

Covington lost all-State running back Jamarion Dowell to graduation. I believe that Munford returns most of their talent. 
 

What do y’all think happens in this one?

I'm excited to see how this one plays out! Both team seem to have tremendous speed, and are dedicated to pounding the rock. This one could come down to the wire. 

I suspect that team that makes the least mistakes will win this one. It could be decided by turnovers and / or penalties.

From what I've been hearing, there are some injuries that could hamper Covington. I also hope that last week's showing in the jamboree is not repeated. I'm sure Kirby will clean up the mistakes and Covington will be ready to play Friday night. I think Covington will keep it closer than last year, however, I feel that Munford has too much talent and experience and will pull this one out by a touchdown or so. As with an rival game, anything could happen. GO CHARGERS!

Here is what the Commercial Appeal thinks  about this game:

Covington at Munford 

When: 7 p.m., Friday

Munford and Covington are always a fun rivalry matchup. Last year in Week 1, Munford won 28-7, largely thanks to Isaiah Cobbs in his debut with his new team. Munford is looking to continue its regular-season winning streak (11) and it has a good chance to do just that.  

Wilcox’s prediction: Munford 35, Covington 21

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
