The Covington News and The Rockdale News have once again transcended county lines to bring you the third annual Newton County-Rockdale County All-Area Football Team. The team represents 26 of the finest football players from six schools throughout two counties, highlighting the seasons of some of Newton and Rockdale counties' best on the gridiron. It's never easy choosing the yearly honors, but each player on the list earned his spot with blood, sweat and tears shed during the season.
