Was she asleep? My wife would’ve been! 🤣

Starks is also a 5th year senior. I have no problem with it as it was obviously an option for kids still in the correct age group. I guess because of Cam Hergott being Mr. Football, Beechwood has been under extreme scrutiny for it…especially in NKY. I’m pretty sure LCA and Mayfield had as many kids reclassify as Beechwood. It has nothing to do with the game Friday as both teams have some reclass guys still playing. But I do get tired of people acting like Beechwood is the only school in the state that had guys reclassify.

Beechwood is 2-8 against Mayfield. There are 9 games on that list and the other is the ‘95 state championship game. Beechwood has never won at Mayfield. They were 0-8 all time until winning the last 2. Tigers will have to play their absolute best game of the year to win on Friday.

Beechwood has never moved down in class. They were 1A forever until they moved up to 2A in 2019. Mayfield has bounced up and down a couple of times but I’m not sure exactly which years.

There is only 1 reclass kid on the current Beechwood freshman team. The current sophomore class has always been small and several of them decided not to play football this year to concentrate on other sports (mainly baseball). That's why the sophomore class is so small this season.

I believe this will be the last JV game this season.

26-13 Beechwood

That is correct. Beechwood only dresses 9th graders for JV because of this rule. Most schools have sophomores and juniors playing JV.

There is no JV game scheduled. Beechwood had Walton on the JV schedule this week but I've heard that game has been cancelled.

53 yards of that 87 came on one run late in the 4th quarter against all backups.

The 8th grader wasn’t starting over the freshman but was getting a couple of series per game. He has a nice arm but not as strong as the freshman at this point. The 8th grader is a really good runner and gave Beechwood a different look when he was in there. He’s going to be really good as a freshman next year.

Again just adding to the rumors by saying "the vaunted beechwood freshman have several repeats as well." Nope, they have 1 playing.

With this being such a touchy subject, I don't want to point out a specific kid. I will say he is not a skill position player.

Three. But one kid decided in the summer he wasn't going to play football this year. Another was injured during summer practice and likely out for the season. The other one plays. So in reality only 2 on the roster.

Beechwood had 3 freshmen reclassify. One has since decided not to play football this year due to some nagging injuries. One of the other 2 was very young for his grade and his parents had been thinking about holding him back a year even before Covid ever hit. So the new rule was a no-brainer for them. I saw another silly comment suggesting Beechwood "has multiple freshmen driving to practice." I can absolutely assure you that is not true. It's kind of funny (and sad) how these rumors get started.
