AUSTELL - It wasn't exactly a masterpiece, but on the eve of Halloween, all Woodstock wanted was treats and no tricks.

The Wolverines took few chances on a mudpit of a field at Clay Stadium, and assured themselves of a home playoff game and the No. 2 seed from Region 5AAAAA with a 10-0 win Friday at South Cobb.

Using a grind-it-out style on offense, and a defense that yielded less than 100 yards of total offense, Woodstock (8-1, 7-1) controlled the clock, and the field position, throughout its school-record seventh straight victory.

South Cobb (1-8, 1-7) had opportunities thanks to a lackluster offensive performance from the Wolverines, but the Woodstock defense never let the Eagles take advantage of those opportunities.

"I didn't think that we played very good offensively (Friday), but our defense played really well," Woodstock coach Mike O'Brien said. "And to South Cobb's credit, they played a great game themselves on the defensive side of the ball."

With a steady mist throughout the game, and a field that looked less green and more brown, neither offense was able to muster much of an output, but Woodstock did just enough.

Behind the bruising running of fullback Carlos Davis, the Wolverines finally cracked the scoreboard late in the first half. Davis had three runs for 28 yards in a 70-yard drive that was capped by Kevin Bolak's 13-yard corner route to Trevor Bagwell.

As well as the Wolverines' defense was playing, that was all the scoring Woodstock would need. South Cobb managed just two first downs on the night and ran only 35 offensive plays in the entire game.

Woodstock countered by holding onto the ball as often as possible, controlling the time of possession. The defense aided its own cause in the third quarter on a bobbled snap during a South Cobb punt. Three plays later, Jonathan Weiner connected on a 22-yard field goal for the game's capping points.

"It was tough for our offense to get going in the mud," O'Brien said of his misdirection/option running attack. "We knew we had to play hard on defense because they are so athletic. The defense did a great job of shutting them down."

The Wolverines held the Eagles to a mere 66 yards of total offense and picked off two passes. Take away two trap plays by the Eagles that went for 20 and 25 yards, respectively, and the numbers would have grown even more lopsided in the Wolverines' favor.

South Cobb lost for the seventh straight time and will end the season at North Cobb in the latest edition of the cross-county teams' Civil War rivalry.

"Our kids played an extremely good football team (Friday), and they played them pretty darn well," South Cobb coach Ed Koester said on his squad's senior night. "I love every single one of them and I have no regrets about a thing they did (Friday). They played a very good team."

Woodstock will end its regular season against East Paulding.
