Head Coach Nelson Smith and the Garner Athletic Department released the 2009 Varsity Football Schedule on Friday. The 2009 campaign will be a rigorous one for the Trojans as they will face seven teams that made the State Playoffs in 2008.
The Trojans will begin the season on August 21st when they travel to Millbrook for the endowment game, which is also a rematch of last season's Double Overtime playoff game. Garner will spend week two of the season on the road as they travel to another Cap-Seven school, as they tangle with the Broughton Capitals.
The home opener for the Trojans will come on Sept. 4 when they welcome the Middle Creek Mustangs to Trojan Stadium. The Trojans will conclude the regular season on Nov.13 when they travel to take on new conference member in the Harnett Central Trojans.
