2018 Outlook:

Becahi has won 4 District Championships in the last 5 years. They have been to Back to back State-Semis and the State-Quarters in 3 of those years and are poised to make a run again this year.  Competing in the EPC18 South is never an easy task, however, in 2017 they once again proved they belong and are looking forward to the challenge again in 2018.  With many key starters returning the Golden Hawks should be able to score some points.  The strength of the offense though could be the offensive line with three returning starters and some experienced guys stepping in. The questions will be how well Becahi will be able to replace some key guys from a very aggressive defensive unit.  Gone are four of the front six, a group that proved to be very difficult to handle in 2017.  With all the recent success, the Golden Hawks will surely be expected to compete for District Gold and if all things go well maybe more.
