FALCONS HS GAME OF THE WEEK

Newnan looks for first-ever win against Patriots

Newnan (2-0) is one win away from matching last year's win total (3-7) and with a 20.5 average margin of victory the first two weeks, the Cougars should not be taken lightly. Mike McDonald's seventh year at the helm started with a 34-13 win at Carrollton in the season opener and was followed with a convincing 27-7 victory at Marietta last Friday, as the Blue Devils christened a newly renovated Northcutt Stadium.

Newnan faces Sandy Creek for the fourth straight season and will be looking for the first win against the Patriots in school history after narrowing the margin of defeat from 31 points in 2012 to 27 points in 2013 and to 17 points last year.
 
Newnan has dominated the turnover margin its first two weeks and has gotten solid quarterback play from Chancellor Johnson.  The 6-foot-6 pro-style quarterback is a pitcher for Newnan's baseball team and has showcased his power and accuracy in the pocket this year. Johnson found P.J. Harris for a touchdown last Friday night and led the Cougars against Carrollton with a game-high 116 yards passing and one touchdown off 13-of-19 passing. Newnan's freshman kicker Rad Wyrick connected on both attempts last week and Marquis Hill and Darryel Hines balance the offense on the ground with their ability to find the endzone. Hill is coming off a two-touchdown performance against Marietta.
 
After blanking Creekview 41-0 in the Corky Kell Classic, Sandy Creek saw a 13-0 lead disappear the following Friday as Jonesboro rallied for a 17-13 come-from-behind victory. Each of the Cardinals' two touchdowns came in the form of passes from Zerrick Cooper to Jordan Griffin. After connecting early in the fourth, the pair hooked up again from 23 yards out with 53 seconds left for the clinching score. Jonesboro's game-winning drive was kept alive when the visitors benefited from a pass-interference call after an incomplete pass on fourth down. Expect the Patriots to gameplan for shutting down Johnson and his favorite target Harris.

The Sandy Creek offense followed up its 13-point outing against Jonesboro with a 49-6 win over Hampton last Friday. Bryant Walker and Javon Jackson can both take reps at quarterback and present entirely different challenges for opposing defenses. Walker is more of the pocket passer, where Jackson can scramble and spark big plays. Underclassman wide receiver Major Weems has emerged as a reliable target this season and 6-foot-4, 290-pound offensive tackle Chandler Tuitt is a mismatch on nearly every play with his experience and talent. Linebacker Elijah Gilmore is the heart and sole of the Patriots defense and is the centerpiece of their aggressive style.  
 
Sandy Creek has won at least 11 games seven straight seasons and will get a bye next week before an away game against Alabama powerhouse Auburn High School. The Patriots enter their five-game region slate with a trip to Whitewater on Oct. 9. Newnan, which is 2-0 for the first time since 2012, will also take a bye next Friday before opening region play at South Cobb on Sept. 25, the school's third straight road game.
