The Garner offense picked up right where they left off last week as they scored at will in a special Thursday night football game, which saw Garner defeat Clayton 38-10 at Trojan Stadium.
Garner (4-2, 2-0) scored on their first possession of the night when it was the lethal combination of Lemond Johnson to Juwan Moye. This time, it was a 50-yard touchdown pass, for Johnson his seventh scoring pass of the season, while Moye hauled in his sixth touchdown reception.
Following the Garner score, AJ Clanton took over and carried the Trojans for the rest of the half. On Garner's next drive, the Trojans marched the ball down the field where Clanton took it 26 yards to the house and give the home team a 14-0 lead.
Clayton (2-4, 0-2) got on the board with a 18-yard Eric Wrinker field goal to trim the lead to 14-3 early in the second quarter.
On the ensuing possession, Clanton, took the fist play of the drive and went 35 yards into Comet territory three plays later, Clanton, found the end zone from six yards out for his second touchdown of the night and Garner was up 21-0.
After Clayton went three and out on their next drive, Garner got the ball at their own 33 and after a couple of runs, the Trojans had the ball near midfield, where once again Clanton broke free for a 52-yard run to pay dirt and Garner was up 28-3, which was the score at halftime.
Garner got the ball to begin the second half and promptly marched the ball down the field where Connor Torruella banged home a 33-yard field goal to make it 31-3 Trojans.
After Garner went three and out on their next drive, the Trojans punted for the first time in the game, but on the kick, Clayton fumbled the return and Garner recovered at the Comet nine. Two plays later, Garner found the end zone again. However, there was a personal foul call that moved the football back past the 20 yard line, were Torruella hit the 34 yard extra point and made it 38-3 Garner.
Clayton added a late touchdown run by Montrelle Sanders to make it 38-10, but Garner was too much for the Comets on Thursday night as the Trojans have now won the last 22 meetings against Clayton.
Clanton unofficially fin shed the game with 185 yards while Johnson unofficially finished the game 4-5 passing with 87 yards. Also, Torruella finished the night with five touchbacks which brings his season total to 21.
Garner will be back in action next Friday at 7:30 when they travel to Knightdale to take on the Knights.
