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.
California High School Lady Pintos volleyball competed from July 18 to July 19 at the Licking Summer Camp at the LINC in Jefferson City in preparation for the 2023 season.
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.
