This wasn’t how the season was supposed to end for the Blair Oaks Falcons. Not after a dominant regular season, not after winning 23 games in a row and especially not on their home court in their new high school gym. But geography paired the second-ranked Falcons and the fourth-ranked Father Tolton Trailblazers in the same district, meaning one of the two Final Four-caliber teams was going to have its season end in the Class 4 District 9 Tournament. It just wasn’t the Falcons’ day.

The Fulton Hornets delivered the first punch Thursday night. But the Blair Oaks Falcons didn’t let the Hornets land many more punches after the opening few minutes. Blair Oaks overcame an early eight-point deficit, opening its postseason with a 66-47 victory in the semifinals of the Class 4 District 9 Tournament.
