Beech (7 - 3) is set to face off against Shelbyville Central (8 - 2) in a playoff match this Friday at 7:00 PM. This marks back-to-back away games for Beech.
Beech went up against Hillsboro last week. Beech's defense took a beating in the first half, giving up 21 points. That put it down 21 - 6. The offense wasn't without blame, either, as it totaled six points in the second half. The final was a 35 - 12 defeat for Beech.
Meanwhile, Shelbyville Central snuck past Franklin County with a 42 - 35 victory last week. Senior running back Jamal Harden deserves a lot of the credit as he earned five touchdowns and 296 yards rushing the ball. Harden has been a consistent playmaker for Shelbyville Central as this was the fourth 10th good game in a row from him.
Shelbyville Central is looking to hand Beech its first back-to-back losses of the season. We'll find out if Beech can avoid giving it that satisfaction.
