The Beardstown Tiger football team had a great chance to finish off a stellar comeback last Friday night against Brown County at Mt. Sterling. In fact, BHS had a couple of great opportunities to score the winning points, but in the end some excellent goal line defense from the Hornets and too many Tiger mistakes sent Beardstown to a heartbreaking 24-22 loss. A plethora of penalties, bad snaps and fumbles allowed the Hornets to score the game’s first three touchdowns. Jack Anderson caught a 23-yard pass to give the Hornets a 6-0 lead in the first quarter then scored on an 11-yard run with 11:54 left in the second quarter and a 1-yard plunge with 5:36 left to make it 18-0 in favor of Brown County.
