Beechwood back in finals

For the third straight year the Beechwood Tigers will be playing in the Class 1A Russell Athletic/KHSAA Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl after they took care of business with a 63-7 road victory tonight against the Campbellsville Eagles.

Both teams came into this contest averaging over 40 points, but this was a one-side affair. As they’ve done so many times before this season, Beechwood (11-2) put the game away early. They scored 21 first-quarter points and had a 48-0 lead and the defense had four turnovers all at intermission.

Senior running back James Davis was too much for Campbellsville (7-7) to handle as he rolled up 195 yards and three touchdowns in his 15 first-half carries. Brayden Burch went 5-of-5 for 78 yards, including two TD passes to Logan Castleman.
