It was a defensive battle at Clayton's Comet Stadium on Wednesday night, but in the end, the Comets handed Garner their first loss of the season as Clayton came away with the 12-6 win. Thomas Rains Photography
The Comets opened the scoring with two minutes left in the first quarter as they ran back an intercepted pass and took a 6-0 lead. That score would hold up as the two teams went to the locker room with Garner down by six.
In the second half, the Trojans battled back to tie the score as Vince Jefferies ran in on the quarterback keeper.
However, Clayton came right back and went ahead 12-6 after a 22-yard touchdown pass. The Trojans had chances down the strech but couldn't get anything going as they fell to the Comets 12-6.
Garner is back at home next Thursday night at 7:00 when they host the Knightdale Knights.
