WEB CAST.
The Varsity Basketball team continued their parade of perennial powers as they traveled to Enloe to take on the Eagles who many believe will challenge Terry Sanford for the East Championship and on Thursday night a very sloppy game was played as the two teams combined for 55 turnovers (31 of them by the Trojans) and Enloe came away with a 67-56 win.
Garner played the up tempo style of offense and ran the floor with the Eagles but after the first quarter, the Trojans were down by seven at 19-12. Enloe began to pull away in the second quarter as Garner at one point only had two second quarter points, but Sophomore Forward, Gavin Wilson found hit shot and hit two big three point shots and had four big field goals to keep Garner in it at 36-23 at halftime.
In the second half, Enloe's lead grew to near 20 before Garner rallied with big baskets from several players and the big key was when Donald Johnson, Garner's leading three point shooter found his outside shot and hit two second half three's as the Trojans cut the Eagle lead to 5 points with around 2:00 left in the game.
But, it would again be the turnover's rearing their ugly head as Garner had several empty possessions and Enloe pulled away to improve to 5-0 on the year, as they beat Garner 67-56. With the loss, Garner is 1-3 on the season and will return to action on Wednesday night at 7:30 when they host the same Enloe team.
