JV Trojans survive the turnovers to down SE Raleigh

Demetrius Fairley piles up 164 yards and four touchdowns and Juwan Moye adds 163 but the Trojans turn the ball over 4 times to the Bulldogs but survive a 42-36 win and stay unbeaten at 8-0. Four fumbles (three lost) and interception uncharacteristic of the Trojans allows SE Raleigh to keep it close. A huge JaRod McAllister sack with 1:03 to go seals the win and sweet revenge from last year's lost at SE Raleigh when the Bulldogs used several varsity players to end the Trojans 33 game win streak.

The fumble bug hits the Trojan on their first possession and the Bulldogs used the short field to score first. Taking over at the Garner 42, the Bulldogs drive to the Trojan 10, where Dominque Jackson hits Tristan Walker for the score and Rashard Holt adds the two point conversion for a 8-0 lead. The Bulldogs recover the ensuing kick at the Garner 27, but Gavin Wilson levels Walker for a loss of nine on a flair pass, followed by an interception by Shaquille Nurriden to give Garner the ball back.

From their own 11, Fairley rambles 46 yards off tackle and Moye add 14 to the Bulldog 28 yard line. After Fairley sweeps for 4, Moye takes it the distance and Fairley adds the conversion to knot the game at 8-8. The Bulldogs start at their own 37 for the next series when Jackson fumbles, recovered by Matthew Vasquez, but a phantom face mask negates the call and SE Raleigh retains possession, until Bryan Watkins grabs the Trojans second pick of the night at the Bulldog 40. On first down, Fairley takes it to the house and a 14-8 Garner advantage at the end of the first quarter.

The Bulldogs answer with a 10-play, 71 yard drive to tie things up again, with CJ Okwara scoring from 2 yards out. The Trojans third fumble gives SE Raleigh the ball at the Garner 11 when incredibly for the second time, a Bulldog fumble is reversed for a Garner face mask. Jackson dives in from 2 yards out and Charles Little is wide open on the two point conversion for a 22-14 SE lead. Garner's fourth turnover, of the half, an interception, ends their next series at the SE Raleigh one yard line. But the Bulldogs fail to capitalize and punts. The Trojans fumble the punt but are able to recover at the SE Raleigh 40 with 3:29 to go in the half. Fairley picks up three and after a Bulldog offside call, Moye picks up 12 and the first down. A Garner holding call and a four loss on a reverse, brings up 3rd and 15. Dwight Darity scrambles for 13 and Moye picks up the first down with a five yard run and a SE Raleigh face mask moves it their 19. Fairley rumbles it in to knot things again at 22 at the half.

The Bulldogs strike quick on their first possession of the second half when E. Smalls takes Jackson's pass 59 yards for the score and Jabori Balogun adds the 2 point run for a 30-22 lead. Seth Council fair catches the pooch kick at the Garner 45 and Moyes dashes 18 yards on first down. SE Raleigh tacks on 15 more with a personal foul for hitting Moye out of bounds. After Fairley and Moye exchanges runs for 3 yards, Fairley dashes for his third score of the evening and adds the two point try for another tie at 30-30. Daniel Alston kills the next Bulldog drive with the Trojans third interception and returns it to the SE Raleigh 28. With Moye piling up 27 yards, Fairley dives for his fourth touchdown from a yard out to put Garner up 36-30, where it stays until the end of the third period.

The teams trade two serieses without first downs and Trojans take over at the SE Raleigh 49 with 11:26 to go. Juwan Moye needs just one carry to take it in for the score and give Garner a 42-30 lead. Garner offers a squib kick of their own and the Bulldogs take over at their 43. Okwara dashes the final 38 yards for his second score of the night to cut it to 42-36. The Trojans fail on 4th down on the next series and the Bulldogs have a final chance, taking over with 6:23 to go on their 33. Chewing up 5:20 off the clock, they are able to move it the Trojan 43 before incurring a personal foul taunting call and backed up to their own 42. Gavin Wilson sacks Jackson for a 5 yard loss. After Balogun runs it back to the Trojans 37 before McAllister makes consecutive sacks of Jackson for combined losses of 13 yards on third and fourth down to end the threat and send the Trojans to 8 wins without a loss.
