Our Lady Lions softball team is #1 in the district! Their district record is 14-1. Way to go Lions. Make sure you support our Ladies as they make their way through the playoffs.

After an extensive interview process, which involved a committee made up of representatives of the school and the community at large, a new head football coach and a new assistant coach for Covington High School have been selected. The input and assistance from the members of this search committee were invaluable to this process.

There were many excellent candidates who demonstrated vision, leadership, knowledge of the game, and a strong work ethic.  The candidates chosen have extensive experience that, I believe, will take our program in the direction that will help us reach our vision as the premiere athletic program in the State.

After thoughtful consideration which included the recommendations of the committee, our new Head Football Coach is Malter Scobel and our new Assistant Coach is Larry Route. Highlights of the qualifications and backgrounds of each candidate are included. We are ready to move forward and start preparing for spring football.
