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.

More Pics Of The Boston Butt Cooking Activities Can Be Found By Clicking-On 'PHOTOS' For Access ...

The Trojan Dugout Club's Annual Boston Butt Fundraiser was a huge success again this year with approximately 700 of the delicacies being cooked and distributed to folks in Lamar Co..  Some of the bounty even found its way down to Middle & South Georgia, as well.  The Boston Butt Cooking Extravaganza is in its 9th year of existence.

John & Tracie Bittner of SouthDown BBQ & Grills and David Reeves of the Garden Patch Restaurant have been staunch supporters of the event for several years, by providing resources to help make the fundraiser for the Trojans Baseball Program a resounding success.  All other donations & assistance from others is appreciated, as well.

Jacob Platt, a sophomore baseball player for the Trojans, placed 1st for the third year in a row in the number of Boston Butts sold.  Jacob tallied 100 butts sold this year to blow away the competition.  Conner Jet, an 8th-grader at the Lamar Co. Middle School, placed 2nd in the competition with a tally of 35.

Coach Greg Williams & The Trojans Dugout Club would like to take this opportunity to thank our loyal patrons for supporting the program.  We hope that you all enjoyed your butts, and will consider getting some from us again next year.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL FROM YOUR DIAMOND TROJANS !!!
