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.

“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.
