Beechwood returns to the Class 2A Championship game with a 48-0 shutout of Lloyd Memorial. Beechwood suffered a setback in October as all-everything athlete Mitchell Berger went out with a season ending injury but the Tigers re-grouped and are back in the title hunt. This game was over early as Beechwood took an early 7-0 lead but Loyd Memorial responded as Isaiah Sebastian returned the ensuing kickoff for an apparent touchdown but the big play was wiped out by a penalty. Lloyd Memorial turned the ball over in their first two possessions and Beechwood capitalized to take a 20-0 lead after the first quarter. Beechwood held a 403-121 advantage in total offense.
