The JV Boys basketball team is currently on a roll in the GNRC as the Trojans are undefeated inside league play. After downing Harnett Central on Jan. 15 67-52, the JV Trojans put together one of the most improbable wins in recent memory.
Last Friday, the JV Trojans were down by 17 points at home to West Johnston as the third quarter came to a close. Then at the 4 minute mark of the final period, Garner finally decided to turn it on and proceeded to go on a 36 to 6 run to finish with a 76-63 overtime win.
Coach Bloms said after the game "It was the most impressive comeback that I've been a part of, the guys never gave up and despite playing a lackluster 3 and 1/2 quarters were able to dig down and pull out an important conference win. Our bigs, Rashaun Shaw and Cameron Redd really stepped it up and controlled to paint in the 2nd half."
SCORING:
Juwan Moye 20 pts, 5 rebs, 4 stls, 1 blk
Jarie Hicks 10 pts, 3 assts, 2 rebs, 2 stls
Rashaun Shaw 9 pts, 6 rebs
Cameron Redd 9 pts, 11 rebs
Demarcus Sanford 8 pts, 4 rebs, 3 assts, 2 stls
Following the comeback win over West Johnston, the Trojans again played a very tough conference game as they traveled to Clayton just two nights ago. This time, Garner didn't have to come from 17 down, but just like the game against the Wildcats, the game went to overtime and again the Trojans came out on top 68-66.
SCORING:
Larry Richardson 20 pts, 3 stls, 2 blks
Jarie Hicks 19 pts
Cameron Redd 12 pts, 12 rebs
Anthony Tucker 7 pts, 7 assts, 5 rebs, 2 stls, 2 blks
The Trojans are now 12-2 on the year with their only losses coming in the early part of the season, and Coach Bloms and his squad lead the conference with a perfect 9-0 Conference record.
The JV Boys are back at home on Thursday night (Jan. 28) as they host Knightdale at 7:30.
