The Newnan Cougar wrestling team was dominant on Saturday in the Area 2-7A wrestling duals at East Coweta High School. It was their fourth title in the last five years and the first under Head Coach Eric Shea.

The duals featured Newnan, East Coweta and McEachern, with all three guaranteed a shot at advancing to sectionals next week. Newnan and East Coweta both defeated McEachern earlier in the day to set up the all-Coweta County final.
