UNC-5;2508307]Allow me to correct this: it is the Beechwood/Frankfort thread and please refresh my memory when Paris beat Beechwood:thumb: The last time Paris Beat Beechwood was 1989. The Greyhounds beat them in Paris from what my older brother told me was one of the coldest games he ever played in. Paris won 7-6 in Paris. Since then Beechwood has dominated them. I know back in 04 the last time Beechwood won state they were up 53-0 at halftime. They could have scored 100 points against them if they wanted to. Back to the Frankfort game. I have a friend who is a ref. He did the Galatin County game against them. He said that they have a lot of speed. But one thing about nobody is talking about is Beechwood's speed. They might not have the speed that Frankfort has but they have speed. Noel Rash wasn't the Head Coach when the Tigers won the titles when Yeagle was. But he was the DC. People who know anything about a good Beechwood team they love to play defense. I have been to a lot of Beechwood New Cath games since I played there and graduated in 95. This past one was one of the hardest hitting ones I have ever seen. I have seen where people have said the name Beechwood scares people. This Beechwood team will hit you right in the mouth. Personally I think the key of the game will be if Frankfort can stop Beechwood's offense. Frankfort does have the speed advantage but if Beechwood controls the line of scriamage then they don't have the ball. I won't be able to go to the game so if any Beechwood fan who is going can text me during the game I would appreciate that. Just pm me and I will give you my cell number.

Also, don't forget they play on turf. This is the same way Beechies of old acted when they had to come to Paris to play, back in the 90's. All three of these games I'm mentioning Beechwood played at Paris in the 90's. 1991: Second game of the season. Beechwood 53 Paris 28 1993: Second round of the playoffs. Beechwood 30 Paris 18 1994: Regional Final. Beechwood 40 Paris 7

Icn 6 is reporting Holy Cross 31-6

Coachg13207 One of the softest hitting teams ??? All I can say is Bellevue must of played some very hard hitting teams . With the strong schedule New Cath played (Ryle 6A ,Cov Cath 5A ,whoever else ) ,I was told this by a New Cath parent ,"My son said that game with Beechwood was the hardest hitting game he has played in his high school career ".The young man is a senior starter at New Cath .If your statement is true ,it is amazing not to have very many injuries .JMO I agree with you with this comment. I got there at halftime. The second half was all hard hitting. Beechwood has always been a hard hitting team. I would know this because I played there from 92-94. Yeah I know that this isn't 1994 it is 2007 but I know it hasn't changed. You have a head coach from what I have been told by people who know him was a nut at Thomas Moore who loved to hit. You have a OC who was a stud QB and LB who would just run over you or hit you as hard as he could. You have their other coaches who I'm sure love the hitting as well. There hasn't been to many soft Beechwood teams. This isn't one of them. Beechwood could very well not get to Louisville or get beat in the playoffs.I don't see it happening this week.

1987 Beechwood vs Pikeville in the state semis at Beechwood. Pikeville won the game 52-28. I know I had long johns and jeans on and I was still cold. I had no clue what the wind chill was that night but it was very bad. That was the year Pikeville started their first of their 3 straight class a titles.

I would think it is Roy since Yeagle he is doing everything. I'm not a Lloyd fan so they could answer that.

Anymore updates?

I forgot to mention Lou Holy Cross. I know a guy who refed the Lou Holy Cross Pikeville game. He told me about the kid who got throw out of the game for kicking the player in the ribs on the first play of the game. He told me that Holy Cross has a lot of speed. It should be an interesting time come the playoffs and the state title game. I have a question. How come Mayfield hasn't been mentioned in this thread? If everyone has forgotten Mayfield is 2-0 against the Tigers. I hate the New playoff system. In the old playoff system these 2 teams would meet in Lou. Now they will have to have to take a 6 hour bus ride to play each other in the playoffs. The 6 class system is a joke.

Are you kidding me? Nothing against the players from Brossart but come on now.

Nobody is a lock to win the title. But I wish Beechwood would have moved up to 2a for better compention or however you spell it. Beechwood won't be playing New Cath in their annual battle in the playoffs. Taking nothing away from Class A but if you look at the traditon powerhouses in Class A only Beechwood,Mayfield and Pikeville has won a title in the last 15 years. From what I have read on here LCA,Frankfort and some other schools are in the running.

Lloyd showed a lot of heart in this game. I have been to the last 2 Beechwood vs Lloyd games but tonight I watched it at home. Beechwood dominated those games. Tonight the difference was Coach Yeagle. How many times did we as in Beechwood win state when we shouldn't have? The 93 and 96 team should have been beaten by Bardstown and Harrodsburg in the finals. But he found a weakness in both of those teams. He will turn that program around quick. I wouldn't want to play them later in the year. I knew Beechwood would win but it didn't surprise me that Lloyd played them tough. Yeagle knew everything they would run. I agree with GT that Beechwood didn't roll in this one. Lloyd gave them everything they wanted and them some. I could see Lloyd getting the 2 seed in the district. Back to Beechwood their defense has impressed me the last 2 weeks. I can see why their the top team in Class A. Cody reminds me a lot of Gregg Hergott.

Why did they move the start in all the games from 7:30 to 7? This game is the ICN game of the week as well. I wish Coach Yeagle well. I played under him when we won all those state titles back in the 90's. The man without a doubt is the best coach in Nky history. I don't know anything about Lloyd at all. But after watching the Beechwood Dixie game tonight on Kenton County's cable access Beechwood's defense impressed me. Cody reminds me of a former great Beechwood QB who I played with who is the OC. Gregg was bigger than Cody but I think Cody has a lot more speed. The moves he made in the open field against Dixe was amazing. Gregg was the type of guy who would just run over you. How big is Cody?

The Big Dipper called it the Terrible Triangle but Dudley Hilton called it the "Iron Triangle" I have no clue what year he said it. I know the first year I heard it was back in 94 when we as in Beechwood,Cov Cath and Boone County all made it to the finals.

Umm I'm a Beechwood fan. I was just making a comment on that one. I was a senior at Beechwood then. We use to go to some of their games when we weren't playing.

I'm sure that Bob is a good speaker before the game, but Yeagle was unbelieveable. That man would make a grown man cry with his speeches. We would want to run through a brick wall after hearing his speeches.

Cov Cath did beat Highlands twice in 94. I know they went to Highlands in the regular season. The late Galen Heley had a great game. Then in the playoffs Cov Cath stopped Highlands I think when the Birds were on the 10 yard line.

Brandon Berger of Beechwood had a great 1991 Class A final against Pikeville. He rushed for 3 tds and had 271 yds in rushing. He always saved his best games for the big ones.

Another poster saying that we wouldn't have won all those state titles back then if Mayfield and Danville was there. I say who cares they weren't so give us our respect. A lot of guys including myself have the rings to prove it.

New Cath ended their streaks against Danville and Mayfield. Beechwood ended their streak against Danville. The streak against Mayfield has to end sooner or later.

Mike Yeagle-From 1991 through 2004 Beechwood was a titan, winning eight of the 10 state championship games they played in. Since he left Beechwood has not been the dominant power they once were. Yeagle has only been gone for one year. I think if Tommy Bankamper doesn't get hurt Beechwood wins it this year. But it didn't happen though.

Why will Beechwood have to travel next year? I disagree with you that they will end the Tigers season. Beechwood will be loaded next year. If Mayfield is that good next year I can't wait to see it.

Umm Boone's Qb never did throw that much at all. I remember going to the Boone Cov Cath because we didn't play until the next day. It didn't surprise me at all that you guys beat Boone with Shuan who is the best player ever to come out of Nky. I would have ran the same defense you guys did. If you think about it Brian should have gotten the ball a lot more than he did.

How long is this alignment supposed to last for?

I don't see anyone beating either of them on the way to play each other.
