MOUNT VERNON, Ga.  - In a thrilling conference matchup on November 20, 2025. The Brewton-Parker Christian University Barons stunned the #10 Dalton State College Roadrunners in Dalton, Ga.. The Barons controlled the game in both halves and extended their undefeated streak to 6-0 and 1-0 in conference with a 74-71 win over the Roadrunners. 

The Barons managed to rally back from an early deficit that saw the Roadrunners grab a quick 8-1 lead in the first half. Despite the early struggle, the Barons rallied and closed out the first half, taking a 40-35 lead. The Barons' victory was another strong team effort, with four players hitting double digits on the box score. Tommy J Tisdale III and Jayden Hill each dropped 17 points, leading the team in scoring. Jayden Hill contributed on both sides of the floor, grabbing 10 boards and two steals. Jakobe Jones came through once again, contributing 12 points off the bench and leading the team in steals with four. 

The Roadrunners managed to tie the game in the second half at 53, but the Barons' strong play at both sides of the floor allowed them to retake the lead and not give it up again. The Roadrunners managed to cut the lead late to 3 and bring the game down to the wire, but clutch free throws from Abraham Garjah sealed the game for the Barons. 

Following the upset, Head Coach Leonard Epps shared his thoughts on his team's performance. "Anytime you get a road win is big… I really feel like our group has taken that next step and love how we are playing right now… We like to hand our hats on being a defensive team, and we need to stick with that." 

The Barons will look to keep their winning momentum rolling into the weekend as they take on another strong conference opponent on November 22, 2025, in Marietta, Ga., against the Life University Eagles.
