High defensive output challenges Bison
The seven miles that separate Hazen and Beulah aren’t the only things keeping these two District 14 teams from knowing each other well. As the pair have faced several times this season, each match is a little different as the squads prove what they have improved on from the last meeting.
Playoff picture still in view
Three weeks ago the Beulah football coaching staff sat down with their schedule in hand; looking hard at what needed to happen in their immediate future for a chance at the playoffs. What they found where a lot of “ifs” but one thing was for sure: Beulah must win all their remaining games to have a shot.
Dominant second quarter powers Beulah win
All the ingredients have been in the huddle all season but it took a 180-mile, one way, trip for Beulah to put all the pieces together. As they traveled to Bottineau Friday, the team that walked off the bus displayed all the Miners have been working for this season and were rewarded with a 34-15 win in Class AA West Region football.
Work building up for Miner football
At the beginning of every season, teams are judged by what they bring back from the summer vacation. As Beulah enters the midway point of the 2009 football season, they are being judged on what they didn’t bring back.
A win for both offense, defense
It took 21 plays and nearly 13 minutes off the clock Friday but Beulah’s new offensive scheme proved it could find the end zone. After being shut out the first three games of the season, the Miners scored both offensive and defensive touchdowns to defeat Turtle Mountain 12-0 during Homecoming week celebrations.
No wiggle room in Beulah’s schedule
Looking back on the first three weeks of the 2009 high school football season, Beulah’s 0-3 record may be deceiving. The Class AA team has played the No. 2 team in Class A in Hazen, and the No. 2 and No. 3 teams in Class AA football in Dickinson Trinity and Devils Lake.
Miners jump to serve New England defeat
The Beulah volleyball team likes to give its fans their money’s worth. Four times already in this infant season the Miners have gone into extra points and opening their regular season action Sept. 1 against New England was no different.
Bright spots shine through Coal Bowl loss
Loy Ham knew if there was ever a time to change the way Miner football is played, the 2009 season would be it. After the loss of several key positions and a new two-year realignment plan in effect, Beulah took the opportunity to change its offensive and defensive scheme.
‘Playing in mosquitoes instead of snow banks’
Seven miles, four quarters and 100 yards separate Hazen and Beulah this Friday for the right to claim another year of bragging rights and house the traveling Coal Bowl trophy once again. But in its 30th year, this Coal Bowl is unlike any of its predecessors.
Visitation to state parks up in 2009
The numbers are in and the results prove that the lake and surrounding areas were the place to be this summer. Visitation to North Dakota’s state parks is up 6 percent in the second quarter relative to the same period last year with over 311,000 people visiting as compared to 293,000 in 2008. Through the first half of 2009 park visits are up 4 percent. Camping numbers at state parks are up 5 percent.
