When the Blair Oaks offense had the football, the Falcons found the end zone. Every. Single. Possession. Blair Oaks had the ball for eight drives, each resulting in a touchdown Friday night. The Falcons ran all over the Boonville Pirates, accumulating 25 first downs on 50 offensive plays that led to a 56-27 victory in Tri-County Conference play at Gene Reagan Field.
The Blair Oaks Falcons remember the past two times they visited Boonville very well. The score was constantly changing on the scoreboard in both games in 2021.

It was as close to a perfect night as the Blair Oaks Falcons could have delivered.

The Falcons dominated from start to finish to rout the Pintos 69-0 on Friday night at the Falcon Athletic Complex.
It may have been only a Week 2 matchup, but Friday night at the Falcon Athletic Complex resembled more of a state playoff game than a typical non-conference contest. The Lutheran North Crusaders made minimal mistakes, scored the game’s first two touchdowns and kept the Blair Oaks Falcons at arm’s length the rest of the way. The Crusaders held on for a 38-30 victory, winning for the first time in four tries against the Falcons.
The Blair Oaks Falcons had been planning for the Maryville Spoofhounds all week. They took a break for a few hours Friday night to face the Helias Crusaders and the Southern Boone Eagles in a Jamboree at the Falcon Athletic Complex.
