South Forsyth’s offense provided plenty of fireworks, racking up over 500 yards of offense and hitting on long scoring plays, but it was the will of its defense that kept the War Eagles’ magical season alive, forcing three turnovers in the second half and holding Tucker scoreless in the final quarter to hold onto a 42-35 win to advance to the state quarterfinals for the second time in program history and set a school record for wins in a season. In two weeks the War Eagles (11-1) have knocked off two teams (Norcross last week) that have four combined state championships since 2008. Now head coach Jeff Arnette and company have their greatest task ahead—they’ll host defending Class AAAAAA state champion Colquitt County (12-0) next week.
