GUYTON -- South Effingham reached the end zone five times en route to a win in a scrimmage over Savannah on Friday. 

Out of respect for Savannah's small roster, first-year Mustangs head coach Nathan Clark opted not to keep score. Alex Cela and Cameron Edwards, however, each tallied two touchdowns and Rocko Griffin added one.

South Effingham's defense was impressive, posting a first-half shutout and giving just one touchdown overall
