Losing streak for Lady Tigers

The Beardstown Lady Tiger basketball team is hoping to use the Christmas Holiday to regroup and then get hot and make a run in the Lady Tiger Classic.  

The break comes at just the right time for BHS as they are on a five-game losing streak and have already played seventeen games just thirty-eight days into the season.  Road losses to Brown County and Williamsville and a home defeat at the hands of Quincy Notre Dame has dropped the Lady Tigers below .500 on the season with eight wins and nine losses.

Lady Tigers and Lady Trojans lose

It was a light load for both the Beardstown Lady Tiger and the Triopia-Meredosia-Virginia Lady Trojan basketball teams with just one game each last week.  Beardstown hosted North Fulton on Monday.  Triopia, who went on the road to Carrollton on Monday, was scheduled to play Calhoun on Thursday but the contest was postponed.

Lady Tigers top Rebels

The Beardstown Lady Tiger basketball team split a pair of games last week, winning on the road at South Fulton then falling at home to Camp Point Central-Southeastern as part of a girl-boy double header against the Panthers.  Beardstown now has a record of 8-5 on the season.

Lady Tigers thrash Spartans

The Spartans were absolutely no match for the Tigers last week. On the other hand, the Warriors were ready to come out and play proved too much for the big cats on the hardwood.  In other words, the Beardstown Lady Tigers blasted both the Bushnell Prairie City and North Greene Spartans last week, putting running clocks on both, while the Athens Warriors came to town and knocked off Beardstown in an exciting game.

Busy week for Lady Tigers – 3-2 start for BHS Basketball

It was a crazy busy first week for the Beardstown Lady Tiger basketball team with five games including the double dip on Saturday in the Brown County Tournament.

Lady Tigers want to change gears

Normally only having one returning starter and having to replace an inside player who averaged double figures in points and rebounds and two solid guards would not lead to high hopes for an upcoming season.  

The Beardstown Lady Tiger basketball team and head coach Jimmy Maltby find themselves in just that situation, but a dazzling array of newcomers and young talent has the eighth-year head mentor bursting with excitement about this year’s prospects. Last year’s team went 9-22
