Sam Taylor

The Cougar Chronicles would like to join Coach Sandlin to acknowledge Newnan High's own place kicker for the Cougars, Sam Taylor. Sam is a junior here at Newnan and is currently taking AP English, Trigonometry, World War II, and Advanced U.S. History.

Nominated by Coach Sandlin for his outstanding efforts as place kicker, Sam has made six kickoffs in the end zone, two tackles on the kickoff, and one field goal so far this season. When asked about football and when he became interested in playing, Sam said, "Well, I've been playing now for three years, but I started getting interested when I was a kid going to the games at UGA and here in Newnan."

Although Sam is still unsure about which college he wants to attend, he plans to play college football and later on to tryout for professional teams.
