            There is no way to sugar coat this. The Parkston Trojans got on their horses and ran their lances right through the hearts of the Blue Dragons last Friday.

            “Parkston is one of the toughest teams we will face this year and one of the most physical teams in all of the 9 man football this year,” said head coach Jerry Weiland.

            The Trojans had three touchdowns in the first quarter, and four more in the second, and Garretson simply could not stop their advance, or make their own offensive strides. Garretson made only 75 yards of offensive advancement the whole game, compared to the Trojan 307 offensive yards. It was all over by halftime.

            With homecoming coming up this Friday, Coach Weiland had this to say, “We have to stay the course and build on what we have while including younger players in the rotation of players on the field.”
