After each having a week off, the Tri-Cities Bulldogs and the Newnan Cougars will shake off the cobwebs and square off against one another at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Tri-Cities' offense might be in the hot seat on Friday considering what happened against Decatur last Friday. They took a blow against the Bulldogs, falling 35-0.
Meanwhile, Newnan entered their tilt with McIntosh last Friday with two consecutive wins but they'll enter their next game with three. They took down the Chiefs 31-14. Given the Cougars' advantage in MaxPreps' Georgia football rankings (they are ranked 84th, while the Chiefs are ranked 222nd), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
One reason for the win was Newnan's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for six sacks. Leading the way was Corey Boler-Bolton with two. Another thorn in McIntosh's side was Emarion Nichols, who picked up a sack and made 11 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Tri-Cities' loss dropped their record down to 6-3. As for Newnan, their win bumped their record up to 8-2.
