Beechwood earned some postseason bragging rights after a successful outing on Friday. They won a matchup that couldn't have been any closer, slipping by Pikeville 21-20. The tight race was right in line with the MaxPreps state rankings' forecast.
After a totally unproductive first quarter, the Beechwood offense stepped up its game and put 14 points on the board in the second quarter. Pikeville countered with 6 points, leaving the score at 14-6 going into the half. Beechwood almost let the contest get away from them in the second half, but they had just enough oomph to take it.
The win was the 15th in a row for Beechwood and raised their record to 17-2. Pikeville's loss pushes them down to 11-3. Both of these squads appear to have finished up the season, as they have no upcoming games scheduled.
