Quarterfinal Team of the Week: North Cobb Christian

North Cobb Christian coach Matt Jones called his school “a hidden gem” in September after his team beat Ringgold 41-39 in six overtimes.

There’s nothing hidden now about the football team, only the spotlight of the quarterfinals’ most conspicuous upset, a 30-27 victory over No. 1-ranked Savannah Christian in the Class 3A-A private division.

The win gave the Eagles a school-record 11 victories for the season and put them in their first semifinal.

Next up is Prince Avenue Christian, a three-time former state champion. That’s on the road. So was the Savannah Christian game.
