Scott’s Hill @ Covington 9/8/23

[CHARGERFAN]

Covington hosts Scott’s Hill in the first meeting ever between these two schools. To be honest, I had never heard of Scott’s Hill until the new Region 7-3A was announced. 
 

From what I see on the internet, Scott’s Hill has been playing football for 15 years. They were 6-5 last year. The Massey Matchup tool picks Covington to win 40-7.  However, the Chargers are 1-2 at this point and are showing glaring weaknesses, particularly in the defensive secondary. Can Coach Kirby get his team to step up and play winning football, or will this slide continue?

As a Charger fan I hope that the defense will gel and get it together. What’s the thinking on Coach T?

 Chargers will win out and go 8-2 for the season, and will be reloading for another shot at Dyersburg in the playoffs.

Running clock, Covington rolls.

I have only seen Covington against Dyersburg so I cant make a good accessment of the secondary but Dyersburg only had 65 yards passing against Covington.

Nothing to see here, Covington rolls easily against Scotts Hill.

Our stats had Dyersburg 10 of 15 passing for 105 yards. That doesn’t count the scrambles by the Trojan QB on passing plays when he took off and gained significant yards. Covington D was effective early in the game when Dyersburg was running the ball. I thought that once D’burg. opened up their play calling, the pass and the threat of passing caused Covington a lot of problems. 
 

In the first two games, here are opponents passing stats:

Brighton passing: 13 of 27 for 222 yards and 2 TDS.

Munford passing: 10 of 15 for 241 yards and 1 TD.

Covington is playing some freshmen defensive backs and the D might improve as they get experience, but there is an issue here.

No issue this week CHARGERFAN, our defense had been pretty good preseason and first two games but the wheels came off against Westview...our offense...going backward. First game we ran effectively and threw it ok, second game we sputtered, and third game we couldn't throw a football in the water from the bow of a boat. Had a few scrambles for positive yards and a few decent gains running, but overall probably had negative yardage counting the sacks and penalties. I think we're better than we've looked the last two weeks, but getting Covington after them being shut out isn't the pill to cure our ill's...Chargers roll.

Final 

Covington 42

Scott’s Hill 0

The Chargers dominated, getting a 35-0 lead soon after half, then a running clock. Scott’s Hill threw a lot of passes, but most were for short yardage, and they picked up very few first downs.
