Covington in 1995 with CW Williams as the Coach. Blue Willis was the spread back who went to state in the 200 meters and was an all state pitcher, CW's youngest son Noah (who is now coaching in Zephyr as an assistant) was 6'3" 225 lbs at right end, Ricky Hodges 6'3" 185 lbs at left end, Charlie Tingle, 6' 205 lbs at wing back and Blue's baby brother Damon 6' 230 lbs at Center. While number 2 in the state they lost at Trinidad by 3 points with some very controversial calls. Then beat Milford at home, who at the time was the new number 2 team behind Amherst, the next week.
Milford had the ball with a lead late in that game and could have ran the clock out with a first down when middle linebacker Charlie Tingle broke thru the line and took the ball away as it was being handed off. A couple of plays later Blue threw a long pass to brother Damon in the end zone for the winning touchdown.
Trinidad, Milford and Covington tied for the district championship all at 9-1. A coin toss knocked Covington out of the playoffs and Milford went on to play in the state championship game, Trinidad lost in bi-district. Covington had the size and speed to match up with eventual state champion Amherst and Dwayne Miles. It is a shame that they did not get to find out.
