Good game Garner
Good game Trojan fans! Hard fought battle. Coach Smith is great. I'm glad the Bucs pulled it out. Back to the ship!!
RE: Good game Garner
Tough game...looked like 8-0 was going to stand for a while, but the big int and the run by Carter really changed the game...came down to the plays that were made and a few that weren't...and what can't you do in a big game?...(hint starts with a T)...congrats to Britt (maybe this will quiet the background noise)...Great season Garner...
RE: Good game Garner
We left points on the field. Touchdown first play of the game called back. Fumble inside the 5 yard line. Seemed like every time we would get going another penalty. Garner missed 2 possible scores on the tight end seam route. Just seemed like they had no answers for Britt's front 7. Minus the big run by Smith he was held in check. They kept going to the out and up route. Britt's safeties were waiting on it.
RE: Good game Garner
For starters, congrats to Britt. GT was up 8 - 0 with around 9 minutes to go in the 4th. The 4 TOs in the 4th did 'em in. Plus, there were a couple of plays the refs missed in the 3rd. Garner had a catch disallowed around the 2 yard line in which the kid's foot was in. Later in the 3rd, a Britt player clearly fumbled & a GT player had the ball & that was missed. With that said, you generally don't win with 5 TOs. Nice effort by Britt, pirate.
Great season by the Trojans, 14 - 1, another EF appearance. Good luck to Britt.
RE: Good game Garner
Bishop I felt the officiating was terrible for both sides. I thought the Garner player had a foot in. He also let Jeferries get away with 2 intentional grounding calls, but flagged us for it. I think in all Britt had eleven penalties and most were drive killers. What was that mess when Jefferies clocked the ball and only .3 goes off the clock? I also thought Jalen got away with a push off on Smith on the 2 point conversion.
RE: Good game Garner
Agreed, pirate. At one point late in the game, I had the penalties being about even. Britt deserved to get the W....you have to play for 48 minutes & GT didn't do that. The Trojan D did a great job. Good luck next week.
RE: Good game Garner
We will need it. Good play calling for GT on that last drive
RE: Good game Garner
The 1st play from scrimmage was amazing....could have set the tone for the entire game - instead - it was killed by a penalty...refs had a lot to do with slowing the pace of the game and keeping both teams from getting a rhythm going...a lot of the calls seemed to be behind the play or away from play...
RE: Good game Garner
Well Well Well. When Wake county loses its the refs. 76 pts against wakefield 56 vs Leesville and tonight Garner plays a team with a defense and its the refs fault. The refs didn't play a factor the trojans conservitive play calling cost them oh and the fact they didn't play a WAKE COUNTY TEAM. Play the full 48 minutes 8-0 and they thought that was enough. Good riddence to the trojans. Didn't do what got you to the dance. That is why you won't be at Kennan next SAt but any ole excuse will do!

Poor guy doesn't do well with facts. I don't recall posting that GT lost the game because of the refs. In fact, I posted, "The 4 TOs in the 4th did 'em in.." Ya see, aiiii, that's a little too much to overcome in 1 quarter...it's called reality.
As for the refs, I saw a couple of calls that I thought should have gone GT's way & they didn't....deal as best you can.

Just an fyi....it was 8 - 0 with 9 minutes to go in the 4th & GT had the ball, was driving, running out the clock, etc., & the wheels fell off. Since you missed my point, here goes nothing....IMHGTO, we were rock solid for 40 minutes but given that HS teams play for 48 minutes, I figured it needed addressing.
And aii....how did your team do?
RE: Good game Garner
My friend that went with me to the Northern Guilford vs. Hunt game graduated from Garner many years ago and was giving me updates during the game. I couldn't believe that it was such a low scoring game. I was wondering if the defenses were playing lights out or if the offenses were just having an off night. I thought this would be Garner's year. I felt that if anyone was going to beat them they would have to come from out west. I guess I was wrong.
Congrats to Jack Britt, holding a Garner team to 8 points in their own stadium...a Garner team that had been rolling up the points. Butler vs. Britt should be an interesting game.
