A strong performance from quarterback Jack Garrett helped the Carrollton High School junior-varsity football team ease its way past Alexander, 58-7, on Thursday night.

Garrett had two six-yard touchdown runs, a 10-yard scoring run and an 80-yard touchdown pass to Luke Shadrix to go along with a two-point conversion pass to Lance Waldrop in the big win.

The scoring started on Denzel Cooper’s seven-yard run following a Devonte Cade interception, and with a two-point try from Ethan Nield, the Trojans (5-0) went up 8-0.

In the second half, B.J. Williams scored on a 12-yard run, Dante Wigley added a 30-yard run and Garrett rounded out the scoring with his second six-yard run.

Damian Cox came up with an interception to stop a late Alexander drive and end the game.

The Trojans will wrap up the season next week at New Manchester.
