Mount Vernon, GA — The Webber International Men's Basketball team hung around early but a decisive first-half surge by Brewton-Parker put the game out of reach as the Warriors fell 86–59 on Saturday afternoon. The Barons shot 54.9% from the field and controlled the glass 41–24, building a 49–31 halftime cushion and growing the margin to as large as 27 in the second half.
Webber struck first behind a Landon Tillman triple and a Johnny Torrence Jr. layup to briefly lead 5–2, but Brewton-Parker answered with a flurry—paced by Abraham Garjah and Jayden Hill—to create separation before the break. The Barons' inside presence and transition threes pushed the lead past 20 late in the opening half and they never trailed again. Webber trimmed spots after intermission behind perimeter makes from Deon Brown and Nirobi Peeler Jr., but BPC's rebounding and free throws closed it out.
