LAGRANGE, Ga. — The No. 20 Berry College football team earned a hard-fought 34-21 victory over the LaGrange Panthers on Saturday night, improving to 2-0 for the third straight year.

  • The Panthers pulled to within one point in the second quarter, off a touchdown run from La'Kel hood. 
  • Late in the second, Berry was set up with a short field. The Vikings capitalized with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Tate Adcock to Mason Kinsey. 
  • The Vikings then sent Kinsey on a rare rushing attempt, which  he took 32-yards for a score. Berry led 27-14. 
  • LaGrange answered early in the fourth quarter with a 54-yard touchdown reception from DJ Owens. 
  • With the Panthers driving in the fourth, A.M. Harris intercepted Kelly Hall at the LaGrange 47-yard line. Adcock connected with Kinsey again in the corner of the end zone for a 23-yard score, putting the game out of reach 34-21.
