The Lions extended their lead on a 21-yard touchdown run by Jones with just over 10 minutes remaining, making it a two-possession lead.

Arnold scored again for the Wildcats in the fourth quarter, but the extra point attempt was wide and the 21-18 score was the final.

COFFEE RALLY FALLS SHORT

Newnan jumped out to a 21-0 second-quarter lead against visiting Coffee High on Friday, then had to hold off the Trojans for a 28-25 victory at Drake Stadium.

Newnan, now 11-1, advances to the quarterfinals for the first time since 2003. The Cougars will take a 10-game winning streak into this week’s meeting North Gwinnett, which ousted Brookwood 17-3.

Because Drake Stadium does not meet Georgia High School Association minimum seating requirement, the Cougars are not likely to play host to North Gwinnett. The site of the game has not been decided.

Newnan drove 71 yards on its first second-half possession to score on a 3-yard Keandreas Wynn run to take a 28-10 lead.

Coffee scored in the third quarter and again in the fourth with 8:44 left to cut the Newnan lead to three.

But the Cougars held the Trojans on downs twice in the final six minutes to get the victory.

Coffee finishes 9-3, losing only to Lowndes, Valdosta and Newnan.
