The boys, ranked fourth in AAAAA, will play in the game following the

year's area semifinals.

Newnan fell

victim to Douglas County Monday night in the varsity match-up between

the two schools, 4-2.The Lady Cougars started with the continuing bad

habit of giving up early goals as Douglas took the lead after only five

minutes of play. They added a second with just over 13 minutes to go in

the half but the second goal seemed to inspire the Newnan squad.

Whitney Mansour

cleared the ball from the defensive end with Amanda Morton picking up

the loose ball and racing in to close the gap to 2-1 with ten minutes

remaining in the half. Not long after that, Lanie Scott beat the defense

to the ball and played a clever cross for Morton to run onto and finish

to tie the match at two at halftime. Douglas County controlled the ball

for most of the second half and overtime loomed as time was running down.

But Douglas

scored two quick goals, one off a corner kick, to seal the win.
