South Putnam (10-2) scored 16 points in each of the first and second quarters to establish a 32-0 halftime lead in Friday's win at Riverton Parke, 44-6.
It was the Eagles first sectional title since 2020 and 13th in program history.
Riverton Parke (8-4) was trying for the program's second sectional title. The other came in 2005.
The Panthers were unable to get on the board until a touchdown run midway through the final period.
