COVINGTON, Ga. — So far this season, both Newton High School soccer teams have had up and down performances. 

Each team has already begun region play, too, this past week. 

Here’s where the teams stand: 

Lady Rams

Newton began the 2022 season on a two-game winning streak defeating Cedar Grove 4-3 followed by a 6-0 shutout win over county rival Alcovy. 

After that, Newton endured back-to-back mercy-rule losses against Clarkston and Rockdale County, respectively. 

The team’s two matches that ended in ties ensued.

Head coach Duane Williams wants to see his team play more cohesively now that the region schedule has begun. 

“As we get into region play, I want to continue to build off of our early success,” Williams said. “We can get better as a team if we continue to build our team chemistry.” 

On March 11, the Rams will host Brookwood and then will travel to South Gwinnett on March 15 for more Region 4-AAAAAAA action.
