It wasn't the night that Garner Head Coach Eddie Gray had hoped for from his Trojan team. Garner won the tip-off but that would be about the only thing that Garner won on Monday night as they fell to Kinston 73-46.
Kinston took a 21-8 lead after the first quarter as Garner couldn't find any type of rhythm on the offensive end and the second quarter wasn't much different as the Trojans missed several wide open layups, but held their own on the glass only being out rebounded by two at 13-11, but Kinston's Reggie Bullock poured in 18 first half points including three, three pointers, and at halftime Garner was down 37-23.
The second half was more of the same as Reggie Bullock sat on the bench most of the third quarter, but still managed a game high 30 points to lead Kinston. On the Garner end, Stephon Drane played his best game of the year the Western Kentucky signee had 14 points and 7 rebounds to pace Garner.
But, Garner's offensive struggles were shown in the post game stats as Garner shot just 33% from the field and just 38 % from the line.
With the loss, Garner is now 3-5 on the year, and will return to action on Tuesday at 12:40 when they will face Millbrook, who lost to Walton, GA and NC State signee, Ryan Harrow by one 61-60.
The Trojan Sports Network will take the air at 12:20 tomorrow with a LIVE WEB CAST!
