Beech Grove returned to action after a week off and didn’t miss a beat. They defeated the Brown County Eagles 18-6. The Hornet offensive was led by a new look backfield which included Braden Cruse at quarterback and James Long at running back. James had a big night for the Hornets. He was heavily used in the offensive run game and found the end zone once. On defense, James made a couple big tackles and then intercepted the Eagles quarterback in the second quarter and returned it for a touchdown. The Hornets are now 3-1 on the season and 2-0 in conference play. The Hornets travel to new conference opponent Cascade next week for their third conference game.
