Beulah Miners
The Miners have been competitive despite their winless record. They dropped a tight 18-14 game vs. Central McLean and then fell in a shootout 41-34 vs. Killdeer. Beulah’s offense has shown it can put points on the board, averaging 24 points per game, but the defense will need to tighten up to turn close losses into wins.
