Week 2 Team of the Week: Newnan

Newnan coach Chip Walker called it a game that “will be talked about for years to come” in Coweta County.

Against East Coweta, Newnan's archrival, Newnan trailed 49-24 late in the third quarter and 56-46 late in the fourth but won 60-56 after scoring two late touchdowns and recovering a critical onside kick with 48 seconds left.

Newnan head coach Chip Walker and the game captains are joined by Taylor Malenfant of BSN Sports and Hunter Marshall of Siemens for the presentation of GHSF Daily’s Team of the Week award after the Cougars’ 60-56 victory over rival East Coweta in Week 2.

“It’s always an electric atmosphere and a game that impacts the two communities 365 days a year,” Walker said. “It was an instant classic that, if not the best game in the history of the rivalry, was one of the best games in it."

Newnan ended a six-game losing streak in the county rivalry.

Newnan is GHSF Daily’s Team of the Week. The award is sponsored by BSN Sports and Siemens.
