Garner hammers Clayton, again
WEB CAST.
Garner scored early and often as the top ranked team in the area blasted Clayton 42-13 on Friday night at Comet Stadium.
Garner (5-0, 1-0) scored their first 13 points in just three plays to set an early tone. After the Comets went three and out on their first drive, Demetrius Fairley took the handoff up the middle for 69 yards before he was run out at the two. One play later Fairley finished the drive for an early Trojan lead.
Another Clayton (1-4, 0-1) three and out led to a short field for the Trojans and on the first play of the drive, Vince Jefferies found Anthony Tucker for a 46-yard touchdown and a 13-0 lead.
On the next Trojan drive, Juwan Moye got in on the action as he scored from seven yards out to make it 21-0 after the first quarter.
That remained the score until late in the first half when Garner faced a fourth down with less than five second left in the half. The Trojans took to the air and their prayers were answered as Jefferies hit Moye for a 38-yard touchdown strike as the first half clock expired, and at the break it was 28-0 Trojans.
In the second half, it was more of the same as on the first play from scrimmage in the second half, there was a snap over the head of the Trojans Moye, but the ball was picked up by Fairley at the two yard line and he rumbled all the way down field for the score and a 35-0 lead.
Garner scored again late in the third quarter as Jefferies hit Brayden Sims who skied for the ball in the back of the end zone for his fourth touchdown grab of the season and a 42-0 lead.
Clayton put up two late scores including a punt return for a touchdown by Gary Richardson, however it wasn't enough as the Trojans remained perfect with a 42-13 victory. Additionally, the victory for the Trojans was their 23rd consecutive victory over the Comets.
Garner is back at home on Friday night for Homecoming 2011 when they play host to East Wake. Kick-off from Trojan Stadium is set for 7:30.

Mother Nature downs JV Trojans
Garner and Clayton expected to play an entire JV football game on Thursday night at Trojan Stadium, however mother nature had other ideas as the game was suspended with 11:44 left in the first half.
The Comets struck first on the games opening possession as they marched 60 yards down the field on the Trojans defense with a steady diet of the run game. The big play on the drive was on fourth down and two from the Garner eight yard line, the Comets went for it with a Jace Brown run and picked up three for the first down. Two plays later, Nate Davis found his way into the end zone for an early 6-0 Clayton lead.
After the Trojans went three and out, the Comets got the ball right back and scored again as Brown rumbled 21 yards for the score and a 12-0 Clayton lead.
On the ensuing possession, Garner ran one play for no gain before the first quarter came to an end. Following the timeout, Brighton Hudson connected with Julius Barnes for a 58-yard pass play and a Trojan touchdown to make it 12-6.
Following the Garner kick-off a lighting strike hit near the stadium and forced the contest to be delayed at least 30 minutes. Following a series of lighting strikes, it was determined the game would not continue.
Currently, there is no make-up date set for the game, but it will be posted once the schools agree.

Garner clogs Creek
WEB CAST .
Garner set the tone on the first play from scrimmage and never looked back as the Trojans rapped past Middle Creek 35-21 on Friday night at Trojan Stadium.
Garner (4-0) scored on the first play from scrimmage as Demetrius Fairley rumbled 67-yards for the opening score.
It remained 7-0 in favor of the Trojans until late in the second quarter. Garner got the football after they punted the ball to Middle Creek when the ball hit the Mustang returner and bounced right to Josh Bullock who recovered for the Trojans.
The turnover set up a touchdown pass from Vince Jefferies to Damian Ellis for his first score of the season and Garner took a 14-0 lead to the locker room.
Middle Creek (2-2, 1-0) went three an out to start the second half but on their first drive of the third quarter, Juwan Moye got in on the action scoring from three yards out and a 21-0 Garner lead.
On the ensuing drive, another Mustang miscue led to a blocked punt by the Trojans and a one yard touchdown from Fairley and a 28-0 lead for the home team.
Middle Creek got on the board midway through the third on a David Salmon 11-yard scamper for the score.
Salmon scored again on a keeper, late in the third quarter with a 18-yard run to make it 28-13 in favor of Garner as the fourth quarter began.
After the Mustangs faked a punt and didn't get the first down, Garner had the ball on the one yard line which set up Moye again for the score and gave the Trojans their final score of the night.
Garner held on for the 35-21 victory and improves to 4-0 for the first time since 2007 and following tonight's win, the Trojans are now 8-1 all-time against the Mustangs.

Garner's NFL update
Entering the 2011 NFL preseason, three former Garner Trojans found themselves on the roster of a NFL team. Brandon Banks ('06) with the Redskins, Richard Medlin ('06) with the Patriots and Chris Culliver ('07) with the 49ers.
Banks who spent last season as a kick returner and wide receiver for the Redskins will return for his second season with Washington.
Culliver was drafted in the third round by San Francisco will get set for his first season by the bay as he was selected for the team after the preseason came to a close.
Medlin who signed with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent out of Fayetteville State had an outstanding preseason for New England but with six running backs in the Patriots camp, the former Trojan, unfortunately did not make the team.
We wish all the former Trojans the best of luck in the upcoming season!

Garner stays perfect with win over Caps
WEB CAST.
Garner used a mix of the air, ground and one outstanding pass defense to down Broughton 37-13 on Thursday night at Broughton Stadium.
The Trojans struck first as Tyler White nailed a 15-yard field goal, his first of the season, on Garner's opening drive.
However, Broughton (0-2) answered back as Chris Mangus rumbled 36-yards for the Capitals to make it 6-3 in favor of the home team after the extra point failed.
That lead for Broughton didn't last long as Garner (3-0) came storming back as Vice Jefferies found Brayden Sims wide open down the sideline for a 45-yard touchdown grab and made it 10-6 Trojans.
Garner added one more first half touchdown as Jefferies found Sims again and at the half, it was 16-6 Trojans.
The second half proved to be more of the same as the men of Troy scored on their second possession when Jefferies found the end zone from a yard out to make it 23-6 Trojans.
While the Garner offense was racking up points, the defense was putting all kinds of pressure on Will Cooper. The junior quarterback who passed for 2,300 yards last year completed just one pass on Thursday night.
But, the Garner offense wasn't done as Juwan Moye and Sam Stidwell added rushing touchdowns in the final quarter and helped lead the Trojans to their first 3-0 start since 2007 with a 37-13 victory.
Garner will be back in action next Friday night when they return home to face Middle Creek, kick-off is set for 7:30.
