Lady Tigers take 2nd in Beardstown Tourney

It looks like a little home cooking was just what the Beardstown High School volleyball team needed. Following a stretch where 9 out of 10 games were on the road and the Lady Tigers went just 2-8,

BHS Tigers stung by BCHS Hornets

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.
