clinched a playoff berth with a 27-14 win over Pebblebrook last week. The Eagles were in a must-win situation and their star players led the way.
Running back Chris Beck ran for 205 yards on 22 carries. Quarterback Stephon Masha threw two touchdowns and ran for another. The duo of Masha and Beck has led the Eagles down the stretch, as the team won three of the final four games to get to 4-3 in Region 4-AAAAA. Beck ran for nearly 400 yards and Stephon Masha accounted for 12 touchdowns in the three key victories.
The Eagles might have the longest trip of any first-round playoff participant. South Cobb will make the 4-hour trip to Savannah and face Windsor Forest on Friday. The Knights have had a magical season, after starting 0-3-1, they had to win their final six games of the year to make the postseason.

The one player that South Cobb has to keep in check is quarterback Aaron Hughes. The senior is a major dual threat. Hughes ran for 150 yards and three touchdowns and passed for 184 yards and two touchdowns in a win over Jenkins last week. If the Eagles want to beat Windsor Forest they have to stop Hughes.
Prediction: South Cobb 24 Windsor Forest 21
