Orange Panther of the Week: Marvante Beasley

In a punishing victory over Southern Durham, the Orange senior rushed for 156 yards and a touchdown, made an interception, and recovered a fumble to end the game as the Panthers defeated the Spartans 16-15. Beasley had 168 all-purpose yards, plus made four tackles. Recently, Marvante received his first scholarship offer from Lenoir-Rhyne. Away from the football field, Marvante can be seen at many other Orange events as he’s one of the ardent supporters of the Panthers on the hardwood, the baseball and softball diamond.

Orange Kicker Francisco McKinley Discusses Game-Winning Field Goal vs. Southern

On a wild night in Spartan Stadium, Orange kicker Francisco McKinley kicked the game-winning, 26-yard field goal with 1:09 remaining as Orange defeated Southern Durham 16-15 on Friday night. Just minutes before the field goal, McKinley was banged up after Southern blocked a punt and was less than 100% when attempting the field goal. But the junior made it to defeat the Spartans for the 2nd straight time at Southern.
