Beechwood 16 Oldham County 14 (Frosh)

Final.

Beechwood, behind 8th graders Tyler Fryman, Nathan Pabst, and Cole Coppage, knocked off the Colonels in dramatic fashion Thursday night at Beechwood.

• Trailing 14-8 late in the 4th, the Tiger D stopped Oldham County just inside the 5-yard line on 4th-and-1 to take possession on the 4-yard line.
• The Tiger offense then executed a masterful 96-yard drive capped off by a 50-yard scoring strike from QB Cole Coppage to uber impressive WR Tyler Fryman, who made a spectacular catch with an Oldham County CB fighting him for the ball. That made the score 14-14.
• On the conversion attempt, Fryman threw a halfback option pass to WR Owen McCormack in the right corner of the end zone to give the Tigers the lead, 16-14.
• The Tigers other TD came on a 24-yard pass from Coppage to WR Nathan Pabst up the left seam. Pabst, who was a leader on both sides of the ball, was covered tightly by a OC safety, but he was able to tap the bail in the air to himself and bring it in for the score. 
• Other strong performances were turned in by 8th grade TE/QB/DE Bo Sowder, freshman TB/LB Brooks Becker, and C/LB Colin Morris. 

Impressive come from behind win for a very young Tigers squad. Congrats to coach Doug Ashley on his first win as the Tigers freshman head coach.

Four of the standouts mentioned for Beechwood are 8th graders. The Beechwood pipeline looks robust.

Music to the ears of this former Tiger.
