The Beechwood Tigers defeated the LCA Eagles 23-21 to win the 2021 UK Orthopedics 2A State Football Championship on a beautiful December day at Kroger Field. Jake Conrad’s 36-yard field goal inside two minutes proved to be the game-winner. Both teams came in undefeated for the highly anticipated matchup. This was the second straight championship for the Tigers and 16th overall. They defeated the Eagles 21-20 (OT) in last season’s championship game on a blocked extra point by Brady Moore. Special teams decided this one, too.
LCA nearly blocked Conrad’s field goal, but he got it off and cleared the upright by only a few yards with 1:50 remaining.
