Season is quickly approaching, let’s hope all these teams develop and stay injury free this fall.  Anyone following any of the middle school teams in Northern Kentucky.  
 

Beechwood 6/7 grade team played the Union Raiders this morning.  Both teams were a little sloppy, as to be expected.  While competitive Beechwood was much bigger and physical upfront.  This allowed them to control most of the scrimmage.  
 

it was a modified 10 play setup and both teams rotated all players into the action. The last 45-minutes was a full scrimmage with mostly ‘starters.’   I believe Beechwood scored twice during this time and held the Raiders scoreless.  
 

Should be a fun season and as time allows I will post a few updates throughout the season. 

Second scrimmage of the year.  Beechwood 7th grade at Summit View.  Summit View broke off several long runs.  They got the edge on two of them and the RB broke several tackles up the middle for a third score.  I believe BW lost two fumbles and threw two INTs.  The second unit made it competitive but SV dominated the first half when it was 1s on 1s.  Only a scrimmage but a disappointing morning for BW.  

Week One

7th grade

Highlands beat Beechwood 18-13.  Turnovers were the difference. I know BW had three.  One on the opening play.  A different fumble returned for a long TD.  The third one was an outstanding interception.  Highlands only turned it over once.  Highlands made several big plays while BW was methodical with their drives.  Several penalties on both teams.  Several small injuries, but nothing looked too serious.

8th grade game was Highlands 22 Beechwood 8.  Pretty well played game for week one of the season.  Both teams with some quality athletes and football players.  Good luck to both teams going forward.

Should also add that the kicking game was pretty impressive for kids this age.

Beechwood 8th grade beat Grant Co, 44-0.  I only have the score.  
 

6/7 grade Beechwood team was defeated by Grant Co 7-0.  Defense played well for Beechwood.  The offense is tough to watch.  No turnovers tonight which was nice.  Unfortunately they had about 5-7 penalties instead.  

6/7 grade Tigers fall to 0-3.  New Cath dominated the game from beginning to end.  Final was 32-0.  Team speed is a big problem for BW.  

Coming off the bye week the 6/7th grade Beechwood Tigers faced St. Henry.  BW drops to 0-4 losing by the score of 24-6.  The defense continues to give up plays off the edge.  St Henry WRs were also able to get past the DBs for a couple of long completions.  The BW line played very well on both sides of the ball.  They established the run the best they have all season.  Unfortunately the lack of big plays means there is no margin for error on the offense.  It has not been the most successful season on the score board but the kids remain positive.  They appear to still be in good spirits and working hard.  

6/7th grade Tigers got beat by Cov Cath tonight 21-7.  Game was competitive and probably the best effort BW has put out there all season.   

Beechwood 8th grade team beat Twenhofel last night 22-19.  
 

Beechwood 6/7th grade team drops to 0-6.  Twenhofel broke a long run on their first possession for a TD.  They started the second half with a no huddle look and ran the ball down the field for their second score.  Beechwood mounted a comeback with a consistent running attack capped off by a TD pass.  Final score was 13-6.  
 

Regardless of their record, BW has made strides and has grown all year.  Spirits and morale are still high and they keep putting in work.  They seem to give up a big play or two every week and can’t over come it.  Last night, penalties were a killer. 

They finish the season next week versus Summit View. 

Season ends without a win for the 6/7 Beechwood Tigers.   Summit View beat them tonight.  13-12.  BW had a chance.  .2 seconds left with the ball at 7 yard line.  Pass falls incomplete to finish the season. Team improved and played their best ball over the last three weeks.  Disappointed for the team, but encouraged what the future holds for them.  Time to start putting in work for next year!

At the half.  8th grade semifinal matchup.  Tichenor 6 vs Beechwood 0.  Winner advances to face the winner of St Henry vs Holmes.  

Tichenor 18 Beechwood 0.  The season ends for the tigers 8th grade team.  Great season and time to start putting in work for next year.
