Congrats Beechwood on #13!

Congrats Tigers on a dominating performance.

Nothing to hang your heads about rams, you to had the best season in Raceland history and are state runner up. Congratulations to Beechwood on number 13.

Congrats to the Beechwood Tigers ....their players, coaches and fans. Beechwood is a great football program with probably one of their better teams ever,

Congrats Tigers.. The Rams played hard and was very solid against the run, but, the Tigers ability to throw the ball and keep the chains moving was the difference. That and a stout run D by the Tigers, who completely shut down the Ram offense, who was simply too one dimensional to pose much of a threat to the Tiger D.

Got to hand it to both teams....great sportsmanship during and after the game. Class act, Rams. Class act, Tigers.

Both teams kneel while the other receives their trophy. Respectful and classy.

Congrats to both teams!

3rd down conversions

Beechwood - 10/15

Raceland - 0/8

Only three 1st downs for the Rams.

Thorough domination from Beechwood. It was a memorable first trip to the championship game for Raceland. Unfortunately, memorable for all the wrong reasons. But, it's something to build on. They know they have what it takes to make it to the big stage now. The Rams need to carry this over into the off-season.

Beechwood, aside from the total defensive domination of Raceland's offense .....exposed the Rams defense on the passing game. With only a very few exceptions, the Tigers threw the ball at will. (and I don't even know who "will" is )

Congratulations to the Beechwood Tigers. Great performance and a great season.

Congratulations to the Tigers on the win.

Congrats Beechwood! Best 1A team this year - no doubt.

Congrats Raceland! Great season and alot to build on!

Congrats to Beechwood on your 13th. Rams are better than that but you can’t stay in the game if you can’t move the ball.. Rams defense lived on the field and always was left with nothing positive to start from. You don’t win or stay in the game if you can’t do nothing.. but great season Rams.

I also want to point out the 3 yards of offense the first half. It reminded me of Hazard in 2008 with only 8.
