Lady Chargers come off record season By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com
Covington Lady Charger soccer coach Robert Luttrell and his team has a clear goal this year: win the district. And with a good bit of talent returning from a team that set a school record with 12 wins last season, the goal seems realistic. Leading the way will be sophomore forward Gabby Glenn, who had 15 goals and five assists a season ago while earning all-tournament recognition. Sarah Ann Franklin, another sophomore who was alltournament last year, returns after notching th ree goals and two assists as a stopper last season. Seniors Simone Council and Shanna McLean bring a lot of experience to the lineup. McLean, who plays sweeper, was the defensive region MVP a year ago Council, who plays center midfield, had two goals and three assists last season. Covington finished 12-4-1 last season (5-2 district) and
lost to Westview, 2-1, in the district tournament semifinals. The Lady Chargers did lost eight starters to graduation, but Luttrell is looking forward to working in several new players. “This year we have so much youth and inexperience,” Luttrell said, “but it’s a great opportunity to teach and mold players into what we want as a team.” Luttrell is also planning for the future. A soccer program was started at Crestview Middle school last June. Covington lost to three teams last year, all of which have middle school soccer programs. “In order to get to the state level of play that we want to be at,” said Luttrell, “we have to have a feeder program.” Luttrell will serve as the team’s head coach, but he will lean heavily on assistants Andy Koneski and Caitlyn Hutchins. There are 18 girls on the roster. “I know that the first couple of years are going to be developmental years as we strengthen the youth on the team,” said Luttrell, “but I plan to win now.”
Balanced attack leads Munford past Fayette-Ware By JEFF IRELAND sports@covingtonleader.com Munford’s offense was hitting on all cylinders early Friday night in the season opener at Fayette-Ware. And the result was a one-sided affair from the outset. Sophomore quarterback Hunter Harden threw for three first half touchdowns and rushing attack was in high gear all night as the Cougars romped to a 33-0 win. The only criticism Munford coach Matt Saunders really had about his team was not scoring in the second half. “We had some long drive (in the second half), but turnovers hurt us and we couldn’t convert,” Saunders said, “but I was pleased from the standpoint of how we executed.” Harden hit Antonio Moore on a 32-yard touchdown pass in the first quarter to get the scoring started and Reggie Fleming scored on a six-yard run to put Munford up by two scores. In the second quarter a 35-yard strike to Moore for a score was followed by a 25-yard touchdown run by Drew Weston.
A 13-yard scoring strike from Harden to Jordan Wade in the second quarter capped off the scoring. Munford found the endzone on five of its six first half possessions. Harden completed 11 of 18 passes for 175 yards. Derek Howell caught two balls for 56 yards and Moore finished with three receptions for 87 yards. The rushing attack racked up 260 yards. Weston led the way with 125 yards on 12 carries and Nick Harper added 108 yards on 10 rushes. Meanwhile, the Cougar defense never allowed the Wildcats to get anything going, yielding just 58 total yards. Munford will travel to Tipton County rival Covington this Friday. Munford beat the Chargers last season. “Obviously we’ve got to do a lot better next week against Covington,” said Saunders, who is in his second year at Munford. “You always want to do well in those county games. I learned that last year.”
