Newnan Cougar Soccer Team Falls Short to Parkview Panthers

On Saturday, May 3, the Newnan Lady Cougars' soccer team fell short to the Parkview Panthers at Drake Stadium. Parkview is ranked first in the nation, so only losing 4 - 0 to the Panthers was acceptable. The Cougars played whole-heartedly. The defense held off the Panthers to only 1 - 0 at halftime. Newnan's defense was led by Katie Cantrell, Kate Gallagher, Nella Jackson, and Carly Messer.

The second half the Cougars gave it their all but fell short with the final score being 4 - 0.

Parkview will advance to the final four in the state playoffs.

NEwnan ended their season 14 - 5.
