Covington

[mdubb]

Has anyone heard any word coming out of Covington?

 

[Dogface]

Not even going to start looking at apps. till April.

Saw something on the news that the entire police force there quit the other day ... didn't sound like most of the locals were sad to see them go.

 

[CowboyP]

They didn't have much of a police force, and their main job seemed to be making Covington a speed trap. I'm sure the locals are glad to have them gone.

 

[mdubb]

Anyone know much about their past or what happened?

FW Star Telegram carried some articles awhile back. If memory serves me right the police dept was out of control. Some were selling drugs they had confiscated from the 'criminals'. Police/sherrif were arresting each other. You didn't want to speak up at the risk of being harrased by law enforcement (mayor or city council member got cross ways with the police chief). Texas Rangers were investigating.... just really ugly... I think someone got fired and refused to leave (may have been the police chief). Would have been a joke if it hadn't been so sad a situation.

 

[mdubb]

Does anybody have any information about the school or athletic program?

 

[insurance]

They're blue and white and their mascot is the owls.... The cop thing had nothing to do with the school.

 

[CowboyP]

The athletic facilities aren't new, but are still nice. I've heard the pay is good. The boys are another issue. AccordIng to a faculty member of Covington, the boys only care about drinking, sex, & failing classes. Whoever gets the coaching job will have to figure out how to change the mindset.

Were bad in 11 man. We played them when I was in High school and they were terrible. Six man hasn't helped at all.

My dad, God rest his soul, told me "don't p*** in the well because you might have to drink it".
Sometimes it is the coach but sometimes it isn't.

Actually,
that sums it up
(for both sides)
quite well.

 

[mdubb]

Ok, well............... I think they close this weekend. Any word?

 

[CowboyP]

I haven't even heard any rumors yet.

 

[Dogface]

Well,
at least they send out thanks but no thanks notices.

They picked 8 young bucks to interview
who promised to build them a championship team.
Good luck guys.
