LAGRANGE, Ga. – The Panthers of LaGrange College (4-1, 2-0 USA South) will travel to Brevard, North Carolina this Saturday where they will face the Tornados of Brevard College (5-0, 2-0 USA South) in a showdown of two USA South Athletic Conference heavyweights.

The Panthers are coming a dominant 35-0 victory over Methodist University last Friday at Callaway Stadium in LaGrange.

LaGrange sophomore defensive end Zymarion Hudson (Cordele, Ga.) turned in one of the best performances in school history as he shredded the Monarchs for four sacks on the night to set a LaGrange single-game record. The effort earned Hudson conference Defensive Player of the Week honors as well as a place on the D3Football.com national Team of the Week. For the season, Hudson enters this Saturday leading the Panthers with 6.5 sacks and 10.5 tackles for a loss. Hudson currently ranks second in the nation in tackles for a loss per game at 2.30.

LaGrange senior quarterback Henry Brodnax (Newnan, Ga.) had his best game of the season, passing for 334 yards and three touchdowns with no turnovers. That effort earned Brodnax USA South Offensive Player of the Week accolades. Brodnax has thrown for 961 yards and nine touchdowns through five games this season.

The Panthers' offensive line has dictated its will on opponents this season. The unit, led by senior offensive lineman Aaron Hunter (Dothan, Ala.), a D3football.com Preseason All-American, currently ranks sixth in the nation in fewest sacks allowed per game while setting up the LaGrange rushing attack to average 153.8 yards per game thus far.

The Tornados of Brevard are led by the running back duo of junior Zion Fauntleroy-McDaniel (Hendersonville, N.C.) and freshman Marvin Reed Jr. (Cornelius, N.C.), who have totaled 480 yards and 484 yards on the season respectively, leading the top-ranked rushing attack in the conference.

Brevard's defense is led by junior linebacker Deshon Hadden (Bethune, S.C.) with 7.5 tackles-for-a-loss and 4.5 sacks on the season.

Last season's faceoff resulted in a 17-10 LaGrange Homecoming victory on October 18^th, 2025, by far the Panthers' closest conference contest enroute to a 7-0 USA South record and clinching their first USA South championship in school history.

Game time is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, October 17^th at Ives-Lemel Family Field in Brevard. Fans may watch remotely through the Flo Sports streaming service.
