Midway through the second quarter, the student section at Cartersville High School started chanting, “It’s too easy” as the Canes roared out to a 31-3 lead over visiting Bartram Trail. It wound up being not that easy, but Clemson commit Trevor Lawrence was impressive as the Canes held on for a 52-45 victory.
Cartersville (2-0) has won 32 games in a row and hasn’t lost since the 2014 Class AAAA State Semifinals. Lawrence ended the night with a spectacular line, completing 18-of-22 passes for 403 yards and four touchdowns. He was named the GEICO MVP of the game.
