Beacon's bid for Section 9 football title falls short in championship loss
CENTRAL VALLEY - The 2026 has been a season to remember for Beacon football . Cruising through the regular season and playoffs with a lethal, multi-faceted offense, most nights the Bulldogs stepped onto the gridiron, a must-see show was to follow. Overall, the sentiment of a fantastic season still remains. In the current moment, Saturday was probably a day the program wanted to forget. Going up against powerhouse Port Jervis in the Section 9 Class B Championship at Monroe-Woodbury High School, Beacon's bid for the school's first ever Section 9 title ended in heartbreak with a disappointing 42-13 loss to the Raiders. "They set the standard for Beacon football moving forward," head coach Gerald Ryan appreciatively said of what this team accomplished. "We changed things in the last three years and it's been great with this great set of kids." The loss stings for everyone associated with the Beacon (9-2) program and in the community. After the two teams played to a competitive result earlier in the season, it was expected to be a back-and-forth thriller in the title game. The ball just didn't bounce in the Bulldogs favor.
