In this paper, we prove the following theorem:If a graph X is a degree 2 (unramified) covering of a hyperelliptic graph of genus g >= 2, then X is gamma-hyperelliptic for some gamma <= [(g-1)/2]. This is a discrete analogue of the corresponding theorem for Riemann surfaces. The Bass-Serre theory of coverings of graphs of groups is employed to get the main result.
