The 2025 Beechwood Tigers made history by winning the school's second All "A" Ninth Region volleyball ***** le and first state ***** le, not losing a set along the way.
The 2026 volleyball squad has already taken things a step further, defeating St. Henry 23-25, 25-12, 25-18 to claim back-to-back regional ***** les.
Beechwood had the home-court advantage as the tournament host, but "The Den" was packed on Aug. 27 as the No. 6 Crusaders took on the No. 13 Tigers.
"Last year, St. Henry wasn't in (the tournament), so it seemed like maybe it was a little easier. They made it tough for us. We earned it. I'm proud of our resolve. We're coming together, we still have work to do and still trying to get some pieces formed, but it felt really good," Beechwood head coach Matt Long said.
Youth at the service line: Both teams had an exceptional night at the service line, but it was the Tigers who used it to their advantage early and often. Beechwood served up 14 total aces with just four errors. While the Tigers dropped the first set, freshman Kennedy Sturgeon set the tone for the night, giving them a 5-1 lead early.
