BHS, Triopia, PORTA/A-C lose big
It was a week that is best quickly forgotten for area football fans as the three Cass County teams were beaten by a combined score of 156 to 6. Beardstown traveled to Camp Point and were held to zero yards of offense in a 60 to 0 shellacking. Central meanwhile racked up 343 yards of total offense. It was 26 to 0 after one quarter and 46 to 0 at the half with Panther coach Brad Dixon taking a knee to end the half rather than run up the score. Both teams played their JV squads almost exclusively in the second half with things not getting much better for the Tigers other than the swift ending due to the running clock. The lone bright spot for BHS was the play of freshman Shadrach Mahfina who played good minutes in both halves and led the Tigers with seven solo tackles and six assists to serve notice that he will be a good varsity player sooner rather than later. Beardstown, now 1-2 on the season, will look to get back on track at home this Friday night against 2-1 Routt Catholic. The Rockets lost to Hardin Calhoun to open the season then beat North Greene and Triopia.
Trojans fall to Hawks
The Triopia-Virginia-Meredosia football team fell to 1-1 with a Saturday night loss to Carrollton. The Hawks scored on a 58-yard run in the first quarter and a three-yard run in the fourth and their defense did the rest in the 14-0 win over the Trojans in Carrollton.
BHS and Virginia-Triopia golf results
The Beardstown High School golf team continues to work hard and improve. On Monday August 28 at Shambolee Golf Course in Petersburg, sophomore Mary Escobar led BHS with a score of 62. Last Tuesday, the girls squad traveled to Rolling Greens in Mt. Sterling and brought home second place, led by senior Saray Chaparro. For the boy’s Cade Ross placed 5th individually, shooting a nice round of 42. Coach Riddle commented after the Brown County meet, “Both teams played well and are really making progress.” On Thursday the boys traveled to Plum Creek at Winchester where Grady O’Hara placed second, firing a 43 and Ross finished in the top five with a 45. On Friday at the K’s Creek Invite, playing 18 holes, Ross finished tied for 11th with an 83 and O’Hara was 19th overall with a 90.
