Here's the quality win that we felt Beechwood needed to be considered one of NKY's best. IMO, Beechwood may be a final 4 team in the All 'A'.

Very impressive win for the Tigers! This should silence any critics for the moment.

After the AIT I was already convinced that Beechwood was for real. Thats a huge win for them over Highlands.

Huge win! I would have never predicted this outcome.

Highlands just off a big win over Boone Co.

Beechwood beats Highlands.

Boone Co. beats Newport Catholic.

Holy Cross beats Ryle.

Newport Catholic beats Highlands.

Who is number 2 behind Holmes? Looks like half the teams in the 9th are competing for second place. A lot of parity in the 9th.

Now Beechwood has that signature victory that will get them a lot more credit then they've been receiving.

Congrats Tigers!
