All of the game’s scoring took place in the first half as defenses dominated after intermission.

Heze Bailey scored on a 5-yard run as the Trojans tied the score at 7.

“Our kids battled to the end,” said South Johnston coach Matt Riggsbee.

South Johnston fell to 1-1 while South Granville improved to 2-0.
