DAYTON LUPTON & THE NORTH GREENVILLE UNIVERSITY CRUSADERS CLINCH THE FIRST NCCAA WORLD SERIES TITLE IN SCHOOL HISTORY…

Former Diamond Trojan Baseball Standout Dayton Lupton has enjoyed North Greenville University’s National Championship ride in Mason, Ohio. Dayton played 2nd base for Coach Greg Williams @ LCCHS from 2003-2006. Dayton was born in Brandon, FL., and He is the son of Tim and Shawnelle Lupton. He graduated from Lamar County Comprehensive High School in 2006. Lupton, a senior at North Greenville, has majored in Sports Management while attending North Greenville University.
Less than a week after defeating Southeastern University for the 2010 National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) South Regional Title, the North Greenville Baseball Team (41-14) traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio for the NCCAA World Series.
The North Greenville University Baseball team defeated Bluefield College 7-6 in a marathon 10-inning contest to earn the first National Championship in school history. The Crusaders plated the potential winning run in the eighth inning, but the Bluefield College Rams scored a run to tie the tilt at six a piece. Both teams were held scoreless in the ninth inning to send the game into the tenth. The Crusaders would, once again, take the lead in the top half of the 10th when a Crusader player scored on a Dayton Lupton single. The Crusaders held the Rams in the bottom half to clinch the national championship.

Former Trojan Blane Parker is shown here in his freshman year at Gordon College. The Gordon College Highlanders recently swept the Middle Georgia College Warriors in a doubleheader in Cochran to take the GJCAA Conference Championship. Blane, and his teammates, will now play in the regionals for an opportunity to advance to the World Series in Grand Junction, Co.
