It’s all about execution for Beechwood. The pieces are in place and the veteran experience is there for the Tigers to win a fifth state title in the last seven years and the 19th in program history. Returning to the sidelines is head coach Noel Rash who has guided the school to eight of those championships. To hoist that next trophy, this team just has to stay away from being its own worst enemy and we like their chances to avoid that pitfall.
