Friday night, Newton County will witness something that has happened just once before. Alcovy, Newton and Eastside high schools will all send football teams to the state playoffs, the first time all three institutions are in post-season play since 2009. Alcovy High, which opened in 2006, made its first appearance in 2009 and again last season; however, Eastside missed out.
A rare trifecta
