Beecher is an interesting community. BHS grew from low 200's enrollment to the upper 300's, and has shrunk back to the 330's. They built a school addition 10-12 years ago with a modern gym (and the strangest bleacher setup I've ever seen). A nice weight room was part of the addition; hopefully the locker rooms are adequate. They coop wrestling with/at Grant Park; neither had wrestling on their own...
Coop opportunities with existing programs are unlikely, as I don't see Peotone, Manteno or Momence wanting to be bumped up a class or two...Crete Monee?
There is no tackle youth program that I can find. Village Rec program has flag football & cheerleading.
They have no track or stadium facility in town. Their soccer field has no significant bleachers or improvements. They would need a significant financial investment for football...
The Manteno approach would be a logical route. Manteno's Booster club harassed the school board to build the track (after an addition at the junior high paved over the west end of the cinder track). Track was built in '95. Boosters fenced it, sodded it.
Manteno & Peotone tried cooping football starting in fall '91. Only lasted like four years. Parents approached the board about football, were told they needed to start a youth program and show it would be viable (school board did same thing to soccer in late 80's). Youth football started in '97. First major additions to school in '98ish included a "fieldhouse", which included a football appropriate locker room & major weight room facility. School approved football for 2001...JV schedule only, played mostly sophomore games & 3 road varsity games for desperate teams who needed games. 2002 first varsity season, I-8 member with constraints - required to have bleachers & lights within 2 years. Ed Foundation undertook major fundraiser for bleachers & lights. School board put bleachers up with promise of fundraiser reimbursing them; bleachers in place for start of school 2002. Ed foundation was determined to play under the lights that year...paid for the lights prior to reimbursing for the bleachers; last game Friday Night Lights!
