After a great regular season and a share of the Conference Championship, the Lady Trojans hosted the Ashley High School Eagles at Trojan Gym today in the first round of the NCHSAA State Playoffs.
Ashely came in as the number three seed out of the Midsoutheastern Conference and showed why that conference was so competitive. The Eagles jumped out to a 18-9 lead in the first game and Garner couldn't get anything going in the first game falling 25-12.
Garner found some rhythm in the second game, before Ashley got on another roll to win the second game 25-17. But, the Lady Trojans got things going in the third game as they were hitting on all cylinders and edged Ashley 25-22.
However, the fourth game would go to Ashley as both teams went back and forth before the Eagles came away with a 26-24 win and they won the match 3 games to 1.
But give a tip of the cap to the Lady Trojans for an outstanding season. Garner finishes the season 15-7, and co champions of the Greater Neuse River Conference. Congratulations to Coach Jason Boyette and his Lady Trojans for keeping the Winning Tradition going.
