JV Trojans Fall to Broughton

The JV football team dropped their first game of the year Wednesday night, 35-14 at Broughton High School.

Broughton opened the game with a 77-yard scoring drive in just four plays to take an early touchdown lead.

However, the Capitals added three more scores before the half came to a close and took a 26-7 lead into the locker room.

Garner (1-1) got its loan second half score on defense when Kevan Coppage returned a fumble 29-yards for the score.

That would be as close as the Trojans would get as they fell 35-14 in the first road game of the season.
