Garner scored early and often on Friday night as they routed Smithfield-Selma 73-0 to win their sixth straight win and with the win, the Trojans have now won their 26th consecutive homecoming game.
After SSS took the opening kick-off into Trojan territory,
the Garner defense came up big picking off the Adam Driver pass to give Garner the ball. After a couple of big plays moved the Trojans into the red zone, the drive stalled and Garner had to settle for a Connor Torruella Field Goal and a early 3-0 lead.
That lead grew to 10 on the next Trojan drive as Lemond Johnson found Bryan Watkins for a 26 yard touchdown pass and a quick 10-0 Trojan lead.
On the very next drive for Garner, they took over deep in the SSS end and it didn't take long as Johnson found Damian Ellis for the 10-yard touchdown and the first touchdown catch of the year for Ellis and it was very quickly 17-0 Garner.
Once again Garner found pay dirt on their next drive as AJ Clanton found the end zone for the first time in the game as he scored from two yards out and it was 24-0 in favor of the home team.
The ensuing SSS drive end poorly for the Spartans as Adam Driver's pass was picked off by Justin Chavis who ran it back 20 yards to make it 31-0 Garner. The final score of the first half came on the final drive of the half as Marques Townsend found the end zone from two yards out and give Garner a 38-0 halftime lead.
At halftime the results of the floats were announced: The Juniors took first, Freshman were second, Seniors finished third and the Sophomores were fourth.
Also, Lesley Caldera was crowned as the homecoming queen, Sammie Shelton was the king, Ty Maultsby was the princess and Trever Lee was named the Prince.
On Garner's second drive of the second half, they got an eight yard run from Tyler Hinton after that, Juwan Moye scored from 16 yards out and the Trojans recovered a fumble in the end zone to make it 59-0.
The third quarter continued with Garner scoring on a Shaquille Nuriddin punt return for a TD which made it 66-0 after the third stanza.
After the Garner defense held SSS on three plays inside the five, the Trojans took over on their own five yard line and on the first play, Demetrius Fairley rambled 95 yards for the Touchdown and the final score in Garner's 73-0 homecoming win.

Trojans Shutout Knightdale to Earn Fifth Straight
WEB CAST
Garner's win over Knightdale on Friday night didn't earn the Trojans many style points, but they got the job done as they defeated the Knights 22-0.
After each team had their first drive stall, Garner (5-2, 3-0) went back to work at their own 31 yard-line where they used a steady diet of the run and mixed in a couple of passes to get the ball into the red zone, where Lemond Johnson fired his eighth touch down pass of the season as he found Bryan Watkins for the touchdown and Garner was up 7-0.
Knightdale (1-6, 1-2) moved the ball on their next drive using a whole lot of misdirection running, however, the drive stalled after Knightdale failed to convert on fourth down. After that failed attempt, each team turned the ball over as they contest became sloppy on the wet turf.
However, the Trojans found some offense on their next drive as the moved the ball down the field after a Knightdale turnover, the drive came to an end and prompted Garner bring on the kicking team, where Connor Torruella nailed a 35 yard Field Goal and the Trojans took a 10-0 lead midway through the first half.
Knightdale had a chance to put some points on the board late in the half as they had the ball deep in Trojan territory, but out of timeouts Knightdale squandered chances as they left the ball sitting at the two yard line and sending the game to the half with Garner up 10-0.
On the first drive of the second half, Garner used 11 plays and marched the ball down the field before Johnson used a quarterback keeper to push the Trojan lead to 16-0 after the point after failed.
The game became very sloppy after the Garner touchdown and the teams struggled to find any momentum, but, Garner put the game away halfway through the fourth when AJ Clanton scored from four yards giving Garner a 22-0 lead.

WEB CAST.
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.

JV Trojans Fall to Clayton
It was a defensive battle at Clayton's Comet Stadium on Wednesday night, but in the end, the Comets handed Garner their first loss of the season as Clayton came away with the 12-6 win. Thomas Rains Photography
The Comets opened the scoring with two minutes left in the first quarter as they ran back an intercepted pass and took a 6-0 lead. That score would hold up as the two teams went to the locker room with Garner down by six.
In the second half, the Trojans battled back to tie the score as Vince Jefferies ran in on the quarterback keeper.
However, Clayton came right back and went ahead 12-6 after a 22-yard touchdown pass. The Trojans had chances down the strech but couldn't get anything going as they fell to the Comets 12-6.
