The Tigers look to have the option play set up well but a fast Calhoun defense closed quickly in Beardstown’s loss to the Warriors.

Warriors End Tigers’ Football Season – BHS Falls 41-0 to Calhoun

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.

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.

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.
