For the first time in the 2010 season, the Garner Trojan offense was in full swing as they put up 42 points while the defense pitched their first shut out of the season as Garner picked up their first home win of the season over the Durham Riverside Pirates 42-0.
Garner (2-2) scored their first touchdown of the night on their second possession of the game. Following a Pirate punt, the Trojans marched the ball down to their 46 yard line, where Lemond Johnson connected with Juwan Moye down the sideline for a 54 yard touchdown play, the third passing score for Johnson this season, and Garner took a 7-0 lead.
On their next possession, Garner took over at midfield, and it took just two plays for Demetrius Fairley to 40 yards and give the Trojans a quick 14-0 lead.
Once again, the Riverside (0-4) drive stalled and they were forced to punt, but the punt was blocked and scooped up for the score by DeAnthony Harris and early in the second quarter, Garner was up 21-0.
The Trojans were not done scoring in the first half as Garner used a steady diet of rushing plays to move into the red zone where Johnson scrambled eight yards for another Touchdown, giving Garner a 28-0 lead.
Garner's final first half score came off a Riverside punt, when Moye fielded the punt and took it down the sideline for six more and the Trojans went into the locker room up 35-0.
In the second half, Garner scored just once against the Pirate defense as AJ Clanton found the end zone for the second time this year, with an 11 yard run and cap the scoring for the Trojans as they took a 42-0 lead midway through the third quarter, but couldn't put up anymore points as Garner finished the non-conference schedule with a 2-2 mark.
The Trojans will be back in action next week as they hit the road to open Conference play when they travel to Benson to take on the West Johnston Wildcats. Kick-off is set for 7:30 and the Trojan Sports Network will be on the air at 7:00.
