When you have a great season and make a postseason run, it always ends in disappointment, unless you win the state championship. Unfortunately, that is the story for the PORTA-AC Central volleyball team whose season ended in the first round of the sectional at the hands of Illini West on Monday night at Pleasant Plains.

Beardstown wrapped up their season with two home matches. On Monday, the Tigers fell in a tough three set match to West Central 25-17, 19-25, 18-25. Against a talented Brown County team on Thursday in the Annual Volley for the Cure match, the Tigers treated a nice crowd to a good comeback in game two but fell in straight sets 15-25, 22-25. Beardstown, now 9-25 on the season and seeded 11th in the regional, was scheduled to take on the 5th seeded Macomb Bombers at their place on October 23 to open postseason play.
Just when it seemed like the Beardstown Tigers had built some momentum and had a chance to make a game of it with Calhoun, a familiar bugaboo came out to haunt the Tigers.
After falling behind 14 to 0 in the first quarter, the Tigers made a nice offensive drive taking the ball down to the six-yard line where they had it first in goal. Unfortunately, as has happened several times this year, Beardstown could not push the ball across the goal line from in close, turning it over on downs. The Warriors then took the ball the length of the field to score again and make it 21-0, then a flurry of second quarter touchdowns carried Calhoun to a 41-0 victory, ending the Tigers season. BHS finished 4-5 and although one 4-5 squad did make the IHSA playoffs, it was not the Tigers. The Warriors, under former Beardstown coach Aaron Elmore, finish 6-3, and entered the postseason on quite a run, having won their last four games by a combined score of 186-0.
