Head Coach Marc Gilmore ewnan’s baseball program continues to put itself on the map as one of the best programs in the state. After yet another return trip to the state playoffs and a Sweet 16 appearance in 2019, the Cougars are ready to defend their Region 2-7A title again. Our players understand the commitment and dedication needed both on and off the field, making Newnan Baseball great. This year’s team will once again pave the path, and leave their mark on Newnan’s history.

None of these memories would be possible without a special thanks to our players, parents, and families. Our Dugout Club provides one of the best facilities in the country, through donations and hard work. We appreciate all the support from past and present families as they come through the gates of “Boomer Lane” to see baseball games.

Our community, program, and school are second to none. Newnan is a special place for many people, with a sense of love and family. I want to personally thank everyone for supporting my wife (Carrie) and three boys (Cole, Camden, and Cade). Your faith and encouragement makes Newnan a great place to live, teach, and coach.

GO COUGARS!!
