Dear cleverUsername1 (by the way - that's a very clever username) Yes, I do realize Covington lost to Kopperl as I was at the game. This as well as two other games this season, could have very easily went the other way. What you probably don't realize, is the majority of our Seniors are out...

No way that I can see Bynum winning against Covington. I'll take the Owls big - by 45. GO OWLS! Look out the next two years, as the Owls will be flying high! Peace Hootie

Okay, I appreciate the clarification on this... Thanks, Hootie

Can someone please explain to me why Jonesboro kicked off both halves in the State Championship game? I know Jonesboro won the toss and elected to kickoff the first half. I thought that meant they would receive the second half?? Thanks, Hootie

I really feel the need to post a reply about the Avalon / Blum game. I've never witnessed a worse officiated game than that one! I'm sorry, but that was just SO wrong. Clearly, Blum should have won the game. I'm a die hard Owl fan, but no one likes to see a team lose this way... I hope that the...

BigZech, I give credit to Avalon on winning the game. Having said this, we lost a key player very early in the 1st quarter, because one of Avalon's players decided to kick him. He retaliated and both were ejected. I like to see a game won fair and square. Several of our players tell me this...

BigCzech, Yeah, that would be a good prize considering Covington was 20 points down at halftime in Penelope and came back to take the lead by 10 in the 4th quarter this past week. I'd be willing to bet that most Penelope fans wouldn't want to see the Ole' Owls in the first round.... the good...

Howdy, This here is Hootie... I'm going owl on a limb with a BOLD prediction. I'm saying that the Covington Owls will win their District with Flying colors after starting 0 - 5 for the season. First victim will be Avalon this Friday Night in front of a packed crowd for homecoming. Followed by...

Well Kramer hello from "Hootieville" . I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mt. Calm will crush Gorman. I know this much from the scrimmage last week - If it would have been a regular season game Covington very well might have won the game. The majority of the scrimmage the Owls outplayed them...

Please allow me to put my two cents on this topic of Wayne Ware "relocating". My son plays for the Covington Owls. He has attended school there since he was in Pre-K and he is in high school. I served a term on the School Board, so I am very well acquainted with our town and the administration...

Blum will dominate their district accept for one game. Who might that be?? The Covington Owls... if you want to see a GREAT game, be at this game on October the 9th in Covington. I'll take Covington in this one. It would not surprise me if the mighty owls go 9 and 1, or even 10 and 0 this...

Well, covington did not beat Aquila but they did not get 45'd ether. In many ways that is a victory. Looking forward to next season as we will be returning a strong team. I know coach ware will have them ready to roll. Go Owls!

Whoo Dat? How bout them Owls - Another big win 47 to 0 over Kopperl (ended in the 3rd quarter). Record currently stands at 5 & 3. Don't look now, but we are fighting for a playoff spot. The owls WILL give Aquilla a run for their money next Friday. GO OWLS!!

Well Kramer. Did you know the Owls tied the game 30 to 30 with 56 seconds on the clock? Also, that one of our Key players went out in the 3rd quarter after collapsing (He already scored a touchdown in the first half). The Owls certainly could have won the game. I'm sure just about everyone who...

My father: David Charles Marbut was a captain on the first Covington Owls team in 1965 (since 1921) under legendery coach Henry Strauch. He served two tours in the US Navy aboard the ship USS Ogden in Vietnam. My son now wears the same number 50 as a freshman on the Covington Owls Team...
