TEMPLE TERRACE, Fla. – The Brewton-Parker men's basketball program headed south for a two-game road trip in Florida beginning with a matchup against Florida College.

The Barons (0-5) struggled against the Falcons (4-0) in an 83-56 loss during the second road contest of the season.

Head Coach Stephen Birchfield briefly spoke about the challenges the guys had. "We played back-to-back games with a long road trip in between," Birchfield said. "As a team, we must do better in response to adversity because we are simply better than what we produced tonight. We faced a lot within the last 24 hours, and it was too much for us to overcome."
