Before integration in 1970, black students in Newnan went to Central High School, and white students attended Newnan High. Once Central students became Newnan High School students, it was a difficult transition. In this episode, former Central students Brad Hill, JoAnne Hill, Robert Hines, and Tommy Johnson join David and Derrick to talk about their experiences as student-athletes making the transition to Newnan High.
