Blair Oaks trailer catches fire abc17news.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from abc17news.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
WARDSVILLE For the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons, the road to a Tri-County Conference volleyball championship has had to go through the California Lady Pintos for the past several seasons.
After Thursday night, that road to a title became much shorter.
For the first time all season, the Blair Oaks Falcons were trailing at halftime. But just like every game this season, the Falcons were leading as the final seconds ticked on the game clock. Blair Oaks used a strong start on both side of the football after halftime to rally for a 32-27 victory against the Lamar Tigers in the Class 2 state championship game at Faurot Field.
The Blair Oaks Lady Falcons finally broke through last season, snapping a 10-year stretch without a postseason berth while winning the program’s first volleyball state championship. But winning back-to-back district titles? To do that, they would have to win on the home floor of the No. 3-ranked team in the state, the California Lady Pintos. As if this Tri-County Conference rivalry needed any more flair.
