South Garner had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They put the hurt on the Smithfield-Selma Spartans with a sharp 27-7 victory. Given the Titans' advantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina football rankings (they are ranked 163rd, while the Spartans are ranked 346th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
One reason for the win was South Garner's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for 4.5 sacks. Smithfield-Selma's QB won't forget Amari Green anytime soon given he sacked him twice. South Garner got some further help from Ebenezer Ewatade: he picked up a sack, forced a fumble, and made seven total tackles (2.0 for loss).
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games.
