Reed Signs With Mount Olive

Dominique Reed inked his name on a National Letter of Intent on Friday morning as he signed to play basketball with Mount Olive of the Conference Carolians in 2012.

Reed, who led the Trojans to the sectional finals the last three seasons was the work house inside for the men of Troy and as a result the 6-9 senior garnished All-Conference honors and was tabbed as the Greater Neuse River Player of the Year in addition to being named District Five Player of the Year by the North Carolina Basketball Coaches Association and was also second team All-State as named by the same organization.

Averaging 18 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks per contest during the 2011-2012 season, Reed was chosen to participate in the North Carolina East/West All-Star this July in the Greensboro Coliseum.

Dominique plans to major in accounting while enrolled at Mount Olive where fittingly, their mascot is also a Trojan.

Trojans Fall to Wildcats

WEB CAST.
  
West Johnston broke a two-all tie with a three-run sixth inning to increase their lead in the Greater Neuse River Conference as they defeated the Garner Trojans 5-2 in Benson on Friday night.

The Wildcats (15-3, 9-2) broke the tie on a one out double from Tripp Atkinson followed three hitters later by Trey Lee who singled in the final run of the inning off Trojan starter Tyler Marshburn (L, 3-4) as West took the 5-2 lead.

Garner (12-9, 7-4) took the lead in the second inning when Skyler Strickland scored on a Alec Hulmes hit to the outfield to make it 2-1 Trojans. However, the Wildcats tied the score in the fourth when Adam Morris stole third and came in to score on a throwing error on the Trojan catcher, Carrington Austin.

The Trojans return to action on Tuesday night at 7:00 when they host Knightdale at Trojan Park.

**The JV Baseball team downed West Johnston 4-2 on Friday night. They will also host Knightdale on Tuesday afternoon at 4:00 at Trojan Park.**

Softball Comes up with HUGE Win

Coach Barbour and his Lady Trojans didn't have a whole lot of offense on Friday night at West Johnston, but they had enough as they edged the Wildcats 1-0 to sweep the season series with the 'Cats.

Still scoreless in the fourth, Amber Kirkland drove a fly ball into the outfield which plated Cheyenne Champion and gave Garner a 1-0 lead.

That was plenty of run support for Lauren Marbery who also got some great defense behind her as Shea Barbour made a diving grab in the outfield to rob the Wildcats of extra bases and keep the game in the favor of the lady Trojans.

West tried to push across a run in the seventh but Courtney Barbour gunned down the runner trying to steal second and give the Trojans the 1-0 victory.

Garner returns home on Tuesday night at 7:00 when they welcome Knightdale to Trojan Field. The JV team (who lost to West 11-1) will also take on Knightdale at 5:00

Trojans Hammer Southeast Raleigh

WEB CAST.

Garner scored a season high 16 runs on Wednesday afternoon including 11 runs in the second inning as they picked up a 16-0 victory at Southeast Raleigh.

The Trojans (10-6, 5-1) scored three runs in the opening frame but most of the damage came in the second inning when the Trojans sent 14 batters to the plate and scored 11 runs in the frame. The big knock came off the bat of Tyler Marshburn who blasted a grand slam over the wall in right center field for his first home run as a member of the squad.

Those 14 runs were more than enough for Garner starter, Scotty McCreery (W, 1-0) who worked four innings scattering three hits and striking out six without a walk to keep Southeast Raleigh (0-10, 0-6) scoreless.

Garner added two more runs in the fourth as Carrington Austin doubled home a pair (his second of the game) as he finished his day with four total RBIs.

Pitchers Duel goes to Apex

WEB CAST.

Pitching was the story of the game on Friday night at Trojan Park, but it takes offense to win and Apex had just a little more at the plate as they defeated Garner 2-1 in the second game of the Four Oaks Bank/Tri-9 Challenge.

Apex (7-4) scored their first run of the game off Trojan starter Tyler Marshburn (L, 3-2) as Keaton Oaks hammer a home run over the wall in left. That would be all the Cougars got in the frame but they did threaten for more as the put runners at the corners with just one out before Marshburn pitched out of the jam.

Another run crossed the plate for Apex in the third as Austin Debevec singled to begin the inning and later scored on a Matt Tenuta sacrifice fly to put the Cougars up 2-0.

Meanwhile Garner (9-5) couldn't get their offense going as Tenuta (W, 3-2) kept the Trojans off balance all night long and on the occasions the Trojans did threaten, the lefty managed to pitch out of the trouble.

The men of Troy finally pushed across a run in the fifth when Alec Hulmes grounded out to third which plated Taylor Stephens. That would be as close as the Trojans got as in the seventh as Debevec recorded the final three outs to lift Apex to the 2-1 victory.

Garner returns to action on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 when they travel to Holly Springs High School to battle the Golden Hawks in the final game of the Four Oaks Bank/Tri-9 Challenge.

With the game knotted at two, Garner (9-4) sent nine hitters to the plate in the top of the ninth to break the tie. Tyler Marshburn broke the tie with a bases loaded, two-run single to put the men of Troy ahead for good. Later in the frame, Skyler Strickland was help to help drive home a couple when the Catamount center fielder dropped the fly ball and before the inning came to a close Garner led 7-2.

The Trojans trailed 1-0 until the top of the third when they scored a pair of runs on a Taylor Stephens RBI goundout and a Levin Woodall sacrifice fly to make it 2-1.

Panther Creek ( 5-9) scored in their opening at bat when Thomas Young drove a ball to right field to plate Jeff Pegram who singled to begin the game. The Catamounts later tied the game in the fifth inning when the Trojans commited a pair of errors.

Alec Hulmes pitched the final three inning to earn his second victory of the season.

The Trojans return home Friday night at 7:00 when they welcome Apex to Trojan Park for the second night of the Four Oaks Bank/Tri-9 Challenge. Just a note that Panther Creek and Sanderson will play each other Friday afternoon at 4:00, that game is also at Trojan Park.
