Aurora Christian head football coach Don Beebe has seen a lot in his career with the Buffalo Bills, but Friday 3A state championship should go on the top of his list of a great accomplishments.

Beebe and his team went from the school almost being closed over the summer to beating Mount Carmel 34-7 for the state title on Friday.

The Eagles were led by junior Brandon Mayes, who was stellar on both sides of the ball.  Mayes had 12 tackles, one interception, plus 62 yards rushing on just six carries.
