Being run-oriented with a good defense allows a team to shorten a game while trying to keep their defense rested, giving them the best chance to be in it at the end. If teams wanted to get on Alcoa's level they need to start with playing legit 6A programs like they are. That's facts. Notice the team who gave Alcoa the most trouble in State the past several years. Covington in 2018. Run heavy offense and a stout defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you want to run backwards ? Maybe we could run a counter screen reverse think outside the box every once in a while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, it solidifies my point, my Chargers did not win the Gold Ball! The chances of Covington having equal talent as a team like Alcoa is slim to none, therefore, the typical Covington (Dburg) style of run heavy offense will not get them a gold ball.

Listen, Covington is not a West Tennessee All-Star team. We recruit only those players who come out of our Middle School. You won’t see us in the finals every year, because when you play with home-grown talent, some teams are better than others. That’s why Covington High has played for the State Championship 6 times, but has never won in 6 tries. What I can say is that history shows we will never back down or quit. There are hundreds of teams in our state who would love to be the runner-up for the state championship. We have been there 6 times. I think BC knows all that which is why he has another team putting us out! LOL Covington is the last team they want to play in the Championship!! And YES!! Covington will play anyone!! Even the mighty dust devils. Go Chargers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoa would have blown that average all to pieces the last 4 years! As of now y'all are the kings of 3A, period, could be a big threat in 4A or even 5A! No argument from me! However, one day it will change. Just don't let some team catch you guys on a bad night in the playoffs! It may not end well. And if y'all do get knocked out of playoffs, no excuses. Just frown, say good game and move on! I, on the other hand, would rather win the championship against you guys. To be the best you have to beat the best. Then there will be no speculation!! And no i am not one of the "tornado haters" out there! Much respect here!! I will be pulling for y'all Friday night!! Show those New York boys how to play football!!!

CHARGERFAN Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 Let's get back to the Covington-Dyersburg game. The Commercial Appeal has this prediction: https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/high-school/2023/08/30/tennessee-high-school-football-predictions-memphis-tssaa-germantown-houston/70682487007/ Covington (1-1) at Dyersburg (2-0) When: 7 p.m., Friday Covington’s Skylan Smith rushed for 258 yards with four touchdowns in a 35-27 win over Brighton in Week 2. Look for Smith to have another strong performance because just like last season, when he gets going, the team succeeds. The Chargers begin their pursuit for a second consecutive undefeated Region 7-3A record. Wilcox’s pick: Covington 42, Dyersburg 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilcox’s pick: Covington 42, Dyersburg 35 With both being run heavy offenses that score seems a little high to me. I know both are capable of taking one to the house on one play though. But still seems like a lot of points to me. Plus this prediction is not showing much respect for either defense. If i has to bet I’ll say one of these defenses will step up and stop a few of those drives. Which team , idk. Either way I’m sure you fans are in for a treat. I would think more of a 31-28 type game due to a few long sustained drives by one these teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHARGERFAN Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 I posted the CA prediction, but it’s probably too high, as y’all have said. Last year’s scores (both games at Covington) regular season Covington 34-0 playoffs Covington 24-10 I expect Dyersburg to do much better on their home field this season. Nothing I have seen leads me to believe these two defenses will give up a combined 77 points. I think if either team gets to 28 points they will clinch the win.
