Beal City Aggies Move On...

The Beal City Aggies took on the Deckerville Eagles with full force on Saturday and it earned them another regional title.

In the Division 8 regional championship game, both Deckerville and Beal City were known for having a power-rushing attack but the Aggies took to the air and the Eagles just couldn’t stop them. Quarterback Jared Theisen threw for 196 yards and four touchdowns helping with the 45-13 win over the Eagles.

“We had watched some film on Deckerville defensively and nobody had tried to really throw the ball on them,” Beal City coach Lou Rau said.

The Aggies defense has only allowed 20 points in its last six games and it wasn’t any different on Saturday. The Eagles were struggling to convert their third downs against the powerhouse defense.

“Deckerville is a great team but our defense was up to the challenge,” said Rau. “We just got the big stops when we needed them.”

Beal City lead the entire game starting with a 65-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. This is the Aggies second straight season winning a regional title.

The Aggies move on to the Division 8 semifinals on Saturday, where they will face Muskegon Catholic Central this Saturday at 1 p.m. at Cedar Springs High School.
