Coach Eddie Gray unveils his top-ranked Trojan varsity opens the season with 83-69 win over former conference foe Rolesville. Senior KD Burt leads four Trojans with 23 and 13 rebounds. Marque Maultsby scores 17 with 8 assists (and two spectacular dunks), Donovan Evans 12 & Demetric Horton 10 as the top-ranked Trojans shook off a poor 2nd quarter that allowed the Rams to erase 17 point lead, cut to just 46-42 at the break. The home men shoot 59% in the 1st quarter to take control 20-12 but the Rams take advantage of six Garner turnovers in the second period to narrow the gap. A solid second half by Garner with just two turnovers the rest of the way and a thorough 29-18 rebound margin allows them to pull away for opening win, headed to Fayetteville 71st Tuesday night.
