The Beech Buccaneers will head out on the road to square off against the Siegel Stars at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Beech has five straight victories, Siegel has five straight losses), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
Last Friday, Beech strolled past Henry County with points to spare, taking the game 42-23. Given the Buccaneers' advantage in MaxPreps' Tennessee football rankings (they are ranked 18th, while the Patriots are ranked 67th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
It was another big night for Chelton Swafford, who rushed for 185 yards and three touchdowns on only 14 carries. His longest rush was for an impressive 65 yards, which helps to explain his lofty yards per carry total. The team also got some help courtesy of Kaden Powell, who rushed for 65 yards and two touchdowns.
Meanwhile, a win for Siegel just wasn't in the cards two weeks ago as the squad wasn't able to take the lead at any point. They were dealt a 42-7 defeat at the hands of Oakland.

Everything came up roses for Beech against Siegel in their previous matchup back in October of 2023, as the team secured a 48-10 win.
