Chancellor Lee-Parker rushed for a career-high 208 yards as Brevard College defeated Kentucky Christian University 41-25 on Saturday afternoon at KCU Stadium in Grayson, Kentucky. The victory gave the Tornados their first six-win season since 2021, finishing the 2024 campaign with a 6-3 record.
Lee-Parker, playing in his final collegiate game, recorded two rushing touchdowns while carrying the ball 28 times. His 208-yard performance ranks as the second-highest single-game rushing total in Brevard's Division III history, trailing only Mitchell Yoder's 220-yard mark set in 2021.
After a scoreless first quarter, Brevard built a 17-7 halftime lead. Hugo Taylor opened the scoring with a 20-yard field goal, followed by Lee-Parker's five-yard touchdown run. Kentucky Christian responded when Rey Graciano returned a fumble 28 yards for a touchdown, but Brevard quickly countered as Ethan Beamish connected with Zackary Orr on a 66-yard touchdown pass.
The Tornados dominated the third quarter, outscoring the Knights 17-0. Lee-Parker broke free for a 27-yard touchdown run, Beamish found Joseph Cuellar for a 17-yard scoring pass, and Taylor added a 41-yard field goal to extend the lead to 34-7.
Kentucky Christian (2-9) mounted a fourth-quarter rally behind quarterback Calvin Kafando, who threw two touchdown passes to Davari Morris. However, Brevard's Dre Burton, playing in his first varsity game, sealed the victory with a 40-yard interception return for a touchdown.
Orr, completing his five-year career at Brevard, caught six passes for 79 yards and a touchdown. His season totals of 837 yards and 10 touchdowns both rank second in program single-season history. The graduate receiver finished his career as Brevard's all-time leader in receptions (123) and receiving yards (1,893).
Defensively, Robert Dorsey led Brevard's pass rush with three-and-a-half sacks, bringing his conference-leading season total to 11.5. Kentrayle Holloway recorded a team-high nine tackles, while Brandon Broughton and Burton each intercepted passes.
The win marked the fifth time this season Brevard scored 40 or more points, contributing to the program's fourth-best winning percentage in school history.
