High School Football Camp Tour: Bellbrook primed for bounce back season

BELLBROOK — The Bellbrook High School football team has a chip on its shoulder. A year ago, the Golden Eagles saw their Southwestern Buckeye League championship streak end after five seasons — a loss that fueled them in the offseason. “It’s going to serve this team a lot,” said Bellbrook coach Jeff Jenkins. “We got knocked down.

Bellbrook High School football team, known as the Golden Eagles, is eager to bounce back from last year's championship loss after five consecutive SWBL titles. Coach Jeff Jenkins believes the loss to London in the D-III, Region 12 championship game last year has motivated the team to work harder and aim for another championship.

With 20 seniors and strong returning talent, the team is confident and ready for another run at the SWBL Southwestern title and a Division III regional title. The senior class, sophomores in 2024, when the team fell to London, is considered very experienced by Jenkins. The team finished 6-5 in 2025, falling to Franklin in Week 7.

They won three straight games to secure a playoff spot but lost to Alter in the first round. Jenkins emphasizes the team's fast, physical style of play and their determination to stay together and cause serious damage this year. Senior running back/free safety Jack Kosins led the team with 90 tackles, including nine tackles for loss.

The Golden Eagles haven't had a losing season since 2013 and have made the playoffs each of the past six seasons.
