BOX SCORE

SEWANEE, Tenn. -- Saturday was Sewanee's annual Hall of Fame Game and the Tigers got up on the visiting Panthers 3-0 early on a Geoff Marolda (Houston, Texas, Episcopal) field goal and then led 17-7 early in the third after a Ben Cleveland (Ft. Worth, Texas, Trinity Valley School) touchdown run and a Chalankis Brown runback. In the second half, a series of Sewanee turnovers set up 27 unanswered BSC points and the Panthers walked away with the 34-17 win over the host Tigers.

Birmingham-Southern had a slight edge in total offense 254-231. Sewanee picked up 11 first downs on the day, but the Panthers had 13.

Patrick Shelton (Hickory, N.C., Hickory) threw for 137 yards, while Birmingham-Southern's Joe Thigpen threw for 69 yards and rushed for 65 to lead the Panthers.
