Class AAAAAA

Newnan 14, Langston Hughes 0

How the game was won: Coaches mutually agreed to call this one at halftime due to torrential rain and Lightning. A Langston Hughes' offense that is predicated on passing and had averaged 269 yards per game through the air never could get going in such conditions. Newnan controlled the game by keeping the ball on the ground and came close to winning 21-0 but fumbled on its opponents' one-yard line.

Top performers: Darryel Hines got the scoring started with a touchdown run for Newnan. ... Marquis Hill capped off a 10-play, 66-yard drive with a 21-yard scoring jaunt. ... Kadarius Satterwhite had an interception to halt a rare promising drive by Langston Hughes.
