 2023 Preview 


       Beulah finished the 2022 season with a disappointing 1-9 record. Last year Beulah just missed making the playoffs with a fifth place finish in Class 3A region four with a 1-5 region record.

       The Bobcats last playoff victory came during the 1994 season. They would love to break through this year with a post season win.

       The offense struggled putting points on the score board as Beulah averaged scoring just 10.3 points a game. The Bobcats also struggled on the defensive side of the football as they found little success in stopping opposing offenses and allowed an average of 36.5 points a game.

       The Bobcats would prefer to forget the past two seasons as they have finished with a 3-17 record. Since 2010, Beulah has gone a combined 37-94. Their 28.2% winning percentage ranks 53rd in Class 3A over the past thirteen seasons.

       Over the past 25 seasons, Beulah has not won much with a record of 66-186. Their 26.0% winning percentage ranks 56th in Class 3A and 368th in the AHSAA. The Bobcats have struggled on the football field with only three winning seasons during this time.




       The Bobcats are led by head coach Matthew Johnson who is entering his fifth season at the helm. He has compiled a record of 8-32 over the past four seasons at Beulah. The Bobcats have yet to reach the playoffs under his direction. They have not won a region crown with Coach Johnson.

       Coach Johnson is looking forward to the 2023 football season with a senior heavy roster with more talent than the past few seasons.

       This season, the Bobcats will be a long shot for one of the four playoff spots in region four.

       The Bobcats open the 2023 season on the road against non-region opponent Abbeville on Friday, August 25 at Memorial Stadium. Last year the Abbeville Yellow Jackets finished with an overall record of 3-7 and in sixth place in Class 2A region two.

       Beulah and Abbeville have met a total of 3 times on the football field. The Bobcats have a 2-1-0 record against the Yellow Jackets. They last met in 2022 with Abbeville winning by a score of 26-0.
