Tigers drop road opener at Brevard

SEWANEE, Tenn. – Barton Mixon rushed for 174 yards and a touchdown, and Toryn Wilkins threw his first touchdown pass of the year, but the Tigers fell on the road to Brevard 39-14 Saturday afternoon.

Mixon gained over 200 all-purpose yards, adding 30 receiving yards on seven catches. He averaged 6.4 yards per carry on 27 attempts and found the end zone for Tigers late in the second quarter with a five-yard touchdown run. 

Trevon Garden led Sewanee's receivers with 66 yards on three catches. Na'Shawn Holman added three receptions for 36 yards, highlighted by a 22-yard touchdown from Wilkins midway through the fourth quarter. 

Defensively, James Gibbs recorded Sewanee's first points of the day with a second-quarter saftey, the first of his career, and finished with seven tackles and three tackles for loss. Camden Hill forced two fumbles, while Jaden Gnagy blocked an extra point on Brevard's opening touchdown. 

The Tornados built an early lead, starting with a 53-yard touchdown run from Zion Fauntleroy-McDaniel less than three minutes into the game. Marvin Reed Jr. added two rushing touchdowns in the first quarter, from four and 17 yards out, and Spencer Crum connected on a 30-yard field goal. Christian Conley's one-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter extended the Tornados' lead to 29-0.

Sewanee responded with eight unanswered points before halftime. Gibbs' safety cut the deficit midway through the quarter, and Mixon's touchdown capped a five-play, 48-yard drive to make it 29-8 at the break. 

Sewanee's defense limited the Tornados to 10 second-half points. Conley connected with Shy Grant for a 14-yard touchdown with 10:21 to go in the third, and Brevard would not score again until another Crum field goal early in the fourth. Sewanee's final scoring drive covered 75 yards over 11 plays, ending with Holman's touchdown reception with 8:43 remaining. 

The Tigers return home Saturday for Hall of Fame Weekend, hosting North Carolina Wesleyan at 1 p.m. CT.
