BHS Soccer Season Ends

Despite playing under a first-year head coach and having only two seniors, the Beardstown High School soccer team advanced to the Regional Championship game this season.  

    Unfortunately, a very good Peoria Christian Chargers team ended the Tigers’ season there.  The Chargers jumped out to a 2-0 lead at halftime and added an insurance goal in the second half to get a 3-0 shutout victory over BHS. Peoria Christian, now 21-4-2 on the year, knocked off Rock Island Alleman 4-0 in the sectional semi-final and were scheduled to face Quincy Notre Dame for the sectional title on October 24.

Congratulations to the Tigers’ (L/R) Alora Logan, Brandy Mendoza, and Shelby Goodrich for making the All-Tournament Team at the Beardstown Volleyball Tournament.

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.
