The Truman State football team hosted South Dakota Mines for their home opener on Saturday, looking to start the season 2-0. After battling from behind for much of the game, the Bulldogs took a lead late in the fourth quarter and held on for a 28-24 win over the Hardrockers.
The Blair Oaks defense has risen to the occasion the past two times it has played the Lutheran North Crusaders. In the Class 3 state quarterfinals in 2020, the Falcons held the Crusader offense out of the end zone for the first time since Sept. 5, 2009, using a dominant second-half performance to win 44-9. Last season, Blair Oaks handed Lutheran North a 35-0 loss, its first shutout defeat since that same 2009 game against Westminster Christian.
The Truman State football team was represented at the GLVC Kickoff event on Friday as the countdown to the 2023 season ticks lower and lower. Expectations are high for the Bulldogs in 2023, coming off a 2022 season where they narrowly missed out on a conference title and finished the season as the No. 25 team in the nation.
It was a rematch of last year’s district championship, but the Blair Oaks Falcons and the Father Tolton Trailblazers had a much different look Wednesday night. The result was the same, except the Trailblazers didn’t need a fourth-quarter comeback this time. Tolton nearly led wire-to-wire, locking down defensively to come away with a 56-34 victory against Blair Oaks in the semifinals of the Class 4 District 9 Tournament at Fatima High School.
