Orange’s Beasley, Brooks and Thompson Talk Southern Win

It took nine years, but the signature victory in Pat Moser’s tenure as Orange football coach came on Thursday night as the Panthers defeated Southern Durham 49-7.

Marvante Beasley finished with 198 yards and two touchdowns, including a 65-yard touchdown run on the opening play of the 2nd half that broke the game open. Junior strong safety Rodney Brooks had a 40-yard interception return for a touchdown. Keshawn Thompson created two turnovers. He recovered a fumble in the first quarter that led to Beasley scoring the game’s opening touchdown from 20 yards. Thompson ended the first half with an interception of Southern quarterback Jalen Green.
