South Forsyth set itself up to potentially earn the No. 3 seed in the Region 6-7A boys basketball tournament by edging Milton, 60-56, in overtime Friday at home.

Brett Brown proved to be the main catalyst for the War Eagles, hitting six 3-pointers en route to 24 points. Caleb Underwood registered 18 points, including sinking a pair of key free throws in overtime.

Jackson Spitzer and Charlie Gersmehl recorded eight points apiece for South Forsyth (9-15, 4-5).

The War Eagles trailed 13-12 after one quarter and fell behind 28-20 entering the locker room. However, the hosts held a 21-12 scoring edge in the third quarter to get back into the game.

While Milton (17-7, 5-4) rallied to force overtime, South Forsyth held the visitors to just two points in the extra session.

Entering the final night of the regular season, none of the top five seeds have been decided for the region tournament.

The War Eagles can finish anywhere from third to fifth, depending on the result of their game against Forsyth Central along with the outcomes of the Denmark-Milton and West Forsyth-Lambert matchups.
