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 Trojans came storming right back and knotted the game as David Hamilton dashed 18 yards for the score and after an Austin Marbrey extra point, the game was even at seven with 11 minutes to play in the opening half.

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.

Garner will return to action next Thursday when they host Middle Creek at Trojan Stadium. Kick-off is slated for 6:30

Following a three and out by the Jaguars, the Trojans went to air as Vince Jefferies found Armani Lanier on an 81-yard touchdown pass to give the Trojans a 14-0 lead after Kenneth Perkinson nailed the extra point.

Already leading by a pair of scores, Garner matriculated the ball down the field as Jefferies added a rushing score to his ledger finding the end zone on an eight yard boot leg to put Garner up 21-0 early in the games second stanza.

Trojans Fall to Rose; Season Ends

WEB CAST.

Greenville Rose scored six runs in their first two at bats on Friday night and never looked back as the Rampants advanced to the second round of the North Carolina High School Athletic Association 4-A Playoffs with a 9-2 win over Garner at Trojan Park on Friday night.

Rose (19-5) led by a pair of runs as they came to the plate in the second and added to their lead against Trojan right Tyler Marshburn (L, 3-5). After the first two reached for Rose, Chris Hall and Gray Dixon delivered back-to-back RBI singles and after a sacrifice fly later in the frame, Rose led 6-0.

Garner (15-10) trailed 7-0 before they scored their only two runs of the game in the fourth.With two outs, Carrington Austin and Vince Jefferies both reached ahead of Skyler Strickland who singled to bring home Austin and on a throwing error, Jefferies also scored to make it 7-2.

That would be as close as the Trojans would get as Rose scored single runs in the fifth and seventh to go up 9-2. Which proved to be more than enough for Rampant pitcher Jarrett Ozmick who worked a complete game scattering four hits allowing just two runs while walking four and striking out seven.

The Trojan Family would like to say thank you to the class of 2012 for making this such a special season.

Garner and Knightdale entered play on Tuesday night tied for second place and both teams looking to remain in the drivers seat for a home playoff spot and after a great night by both pitching staffs, the Trojan prevailed 2-0.

With the game scoreless in the fourth inning, Trojan starter Brighton Hudson (W, 5-0) worked himself into and out of trouble allowing a single and double to the first two Knightdale (12-9, 7-5) hitters which put runners and second and third with no outs. However, the Knights couldn't score as Hudson educed a line out, and a pair of ground outs to escape the inning without any damage done.

Garner (13-9, 8-4) took that momentum they gained in the top of the inning and carry it to the bottom half as they scored a pair of runs. With one man out, Jake Faucette singled to right and two hitters later, Vince Jefferies triple him home to make it 1-0. Aquail Sanders followed with a double to plate Jefferies and make it 2-0 Trojans.

The Knights had a shot in the seventh as the first two men reached against Jake Ellington. Tyler Marshburn (S, 1) then came into pitch and retired the next three men to end the ball game and give the Trojans a 2-0 victory. 

Garner returns home on Friday night at 7:00 when they welcome the Southeast Raleigh Bulldogs to Trojan Park for Senior Night. The Trojans will hand the ball to senior right-hander Scotty McCreery while the Bulldogs have yet to name their starter.

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.

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.

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.

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.
