Ripley @ Covington - Round 2


CHARGERFAN

Recommended Posts

Following the sweep of Region 8-3A by Region 7-3A in week 1, we get a rematch of Ripley at Covington. These teams just played two weeks ago and Covington took that game 36-0. 
 

Is there any reason to suspect that this week’s replay will turn out differently? Still, that’s why they play the games. On paper, the Chargers are heavy favorites. But they don’t play the games on paper.
 

This remains a long-time rivalry between two schools in neighboring counties. I’m sure that Ripley will not come into Covington ready to concede defeat.

I’ll take a one-point win and advance. That’s the nice thing about the high school playoffs. There is no committee that we need to impress by getting “style points” or by a big margin of victory. The winner moves on and the loser goes home. 
 

And, as they always say about the NCAA tournament, everybody goes home with a loss except for one team. Right, Alcoa fans?

Well dang I just commented on another post that Ripley upsets Covington in rd 2. Was thinking the score was a lot closer in the first meeting. I may need to go delete that huh :)


 

We don’t mind if you pull for Ripley. They don’t seem to have many fans on Coach T. I’m sure they welcome the support.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
