By Joseph Marvin
Assistant Sports Information Director
LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN, Ga. - Brevard
College senior forward Levi Lamb became
the fifth member of Brevard’s NCAA-era
1,000-point club on Tuesday evening in a
conference game at Covenant College.
The Atlanta native joins four other former
Brevard College student-athletes to join this
exclusive club - Jonathan Whitson (2007-10,
1,547 points), current BC men’s basketball
Assistant Coach Miles Leathers (2012-16,
1,265 points). Josh Roper (2009-11, 1,190
points), and Stevie Williams (2014-18, 1,096
points).
Levi Lamb scored his 1,000th point with a
layup with 11:20 left to play in the second half
This milestone came just one game removed
from the senior breaking the Brevard College
NCAA-era record for career 3-pointers made
on January 8 against Berea College.
The individual career milestone came on
an evening where the Tornados (3-11, 2-5
USAS) dropped a USA South Conference road
matchup to division-leading Covenant (9-4,6-0
USAS) by a final of 75-55.
Brevard was led in scoring by Demari
Hopper and Cannon Lamb, who contributed
double-digit scoring totals with 13 points each.
Hopper drilled 6-of-7 shots from the field,
while Cannon Lamb added a team-best three
3-point buckets.
Covenant’s well-balanced night was led by
Will Crumly who stuffed the stat sheet with 12
points, nine rebounds, three assists, and two
steals. Chris Barnette added nine points and
six boards for the Scots.
The first five minutes of action stayed tight
before a 10-0 Covenant scoring run opened up
the Scots’ lead to an 18-9 advantage with 13:17
left in the first half The Scots would extend
their advantage to a 32-13 margin with 7:21
left before intermission before Brevard scored
17 of the next 23 points to trim Covenant’s lead
to eight points, 38-30, at the halftime break.
The Scots jumped out quickly in the second
half, scoring the first nine points to extend
their lead to 47-30 to set the stage for the rest
of the contest. Levi Lamb’s 1,000th point cut
Covenant’s lead to 14 points, however, the
Tornados were unable to trim the deficit further
and fell by a 20-point margin.
Brevard will conclude its three-game road
stretch by facing Pfeiffer University (7-6, 2-3
USAS) on Saturday, January 18 at 4 p.m. in
Misenheimer, North Carolina.
