Wolves Pull Out Another Last Second Thriller To Win Third SAC Title In Five Seasons And Punch Ticket To NCAA Playoffs

In typical heart pounding fashion, the Newberry College Wolves thwarted Carson-Newman on the last play of the game to win the 2025 South Atlantic Conference Championship and secure a bid to the 2025 NCAA Division 2 playoffs 28-21 before a sold-out crowd at Setzler Field.

Carson-Newman had the ball on fourth down from the Newberry 12-yard line with four seconds left, but Santory Jones intercepted a pass in the corner of the end zone to seal Newberry's seventh consecutive victory and third South Atlantic Conference title in the last five seasons.The Wolves also won their fifth game on their final offensive possession when true freshman, back-up H-back Keshon Washington made a finger-tip catch of a Reed Charpia pass caught and rumbled 70 yards for a touchdown to give the Wolves a 28-21 lead with 1:48 remaining in the game.
