Who wins this BluegrassPreps 2A Top 10 showdown? This is also a district matchup as well. Beechwood comes in at 4-4 on the season. Newport comes in at 7-2 on the season.

Everything points to a Beechwood Win. I would love for Newport to come out on fire and push the Tigers to their limits. However, seeing what Newport did against NCC and Lloyd. I say game is close until the fourth quarter and the Tigers win by at least 3 TD's.

Have to take the Tigers in this one. Records within the district to me, tell a lot, and Beechwood has handled business so far. I did say Beechwood/Lloyd would be close, but I’m going to say Tigers roll Friday! 42-14.

If last Friday night at Lloyd is a display of where this inexperienced Beechwood team has now grown to, Tigers will win by 3 TD's or more.

Beechwood rolls. Newport is not a very good offensive team against better teams.

Newport likes to out-athlete teams that aren’t very athletic. I watched them play Carroll County earlier in the year and Newport had superior athletes and it showed in the score. Problem with that is when you go against a team as athletic as you are it comes down to who better fundamentally. I will take Beechwood in that area all day.

Beechwood 49

Newport 14

Beechwood rolls and will then officially own this district. 3 opponents, 3 blowout wins. As I said in another thread a couple weeks ago, Beechwood owns this district despite the first year move to it. Level of preparation and coaching (gameplan) this week will make this a blowout in Ft Mitchell. IMO, Beechwood is prepping for a playoff run. the first 6 games of high level experience under their belt cannot be discounted, even though it brought them 4 losses.

Newport built a record on really weak opponents and now is realizing what they are which is not very good. I love Joe Wynn as a coach but they are not ready for Beechwood.

They were within a touchdown of both Newport Catholic and Lloyd after 3 quarters. They are a good team. The key is get the lead and make them play from behind.

Beechwood will keep moving forward. 42-6

Both teams have traded punts to start the game and Beechwood has it around the 50 yard line.

Touchdown Beechwood 4 yard run by Avery Courtney. XP is good 7-0 Tigers. Drive was all Cam Hergott and his legs had 3 nice runs on the drive and Courtney pays it off.
