South Forsyth coach Jeff Arnette, who won two region titles and led the War Eagles to eight playoff appearances in 11 seasons, resigned Monday.

South Forsyth’s best season under Arnette was 2015, when the War Eagles went 11-2 and reached the quarterfinals in Class 6A, then the highest classification. South Forsyth was 5-4 this season and lost to Norcross in the first round.

Arnette’s 68 victories at South Forsyth are the most in Forsyth County Schools history. He’s 113-74-1 for his career. Arnette also has been a head coach at Elbert County (2002-05) and Oconee County (2000-01).
