Where is some of the Beechwood faithful to fill us in on?? I did some research a while back and they lost a lot both ways. But they do have a couple a young skill kids back and that's an excellent start.

They have a lot to replace after heavy losses to graduation. Very good freshmen class coming up, they will be young, but come playoff time the sophomores that are going to have to contribute will be well seasoned.

Hard to say, in high school sports, that a team is in a rebuilding phase but I think at the start of the summer that is exactly where the Tigers will be. They could start out a little slow, but by playoff time they should be fine. Noel has the young team focused and hitting it hard in the weight room.

Were they state runner-up last year?

Beechwood usually reloads but they lost more than normal but they will be a young team.

Yes. They lost to a very good Pikeville team in the finals.

Logan Castleman is a baller, the kid can play. He's going to be a great one

Could not agree more...the young man just gets it, football IQ is off the chart. I hope they can find a good fit on defense for Eddie Erdman, kid plays with reckless abandon, not sure if he is better suited for LB or a 1 technique. I do know he is fun to watch.

Come on Beechies, its time for a return to greatness. You have some fans out in the Wild Wild West

I expect another hazard and beechwood game in a few years.
How solid will the QB be next year?

Big shoes to fill at the QB position. Fieger was under center for 3+ years. Next in line is Brayden Burch. He will be a junior next year.

He might be a decent qb.

I think Brayden will be fine, nice arm, good touch, he will grown into the role and play well IMO.
