Hillsboro @ Beech

[AllRegion]

One of the biggest games in 5A (and the Mid-State) takes place this Friday when Hillsboro travels to Shackle Island for a rematch with Beech. The first game was a nail-biter that could have gone either way, and Beech pulled it out at the end. Who takes Round 2, and why?

Winner of this game is going to state in my opinion. This is another tight game both teams are evenly matched. If Beech controls the clock and dominate on defense they will very much so will win. If Hillsboro can get those explosive points early they will win, don’t think Beech is built to go fast.

Agree. The team who goes ahead in the 4th and controls the clock with long drives wins. Both teams are playing well down the stretch on both sides of the ball, but I would give Hillsboro the go-ahead in this revenge match. To go out on a limb, I think the winner of this game and the Fulton vs Catholic game have a rendezvous with destiny in Cookville.

Now that’s a big margin lol

[AllRegion]

I'll be shocked if the margin is greater than 10 points in either direction

Good luck Hillsboro. Play that underdog roll and show them something

I am personally rooting for Beech! Just because HC wants another shot at knocking them off. Thats possibly down the road but I think Beech wins 35-21

I can't believe this game isn't getting much talk.  Good luck in the quarters to whichever one of you get the win.  Hope for injury free game for both of you.

Nice win for the Bucs. D continued to play well. Good to win a grind it out game with some good old fashion defense. Tackled well and covered well. On to Summit.

Hillsboro just couldn't score inside the 10. That was the difference in the game. The Burro defense played lights out. Holding Beech to 10 points was a heck of an effort and should have been enough to win the game. Congrats to Beech, I expect them to represent the West in Cookeville.

Not so fast!!! Remember who gave Beech their closest game all year? That's right good ole Henry County and yes we are still alive and playing and playing our best football of the season!
