The School of the Osage Indians had one of the biggest in-season turnarounds in 2022. Osage dropped its first three games of the season, allowing more than 40 points to Jefferson City, Moberly and Blair Oaks. By season’s end, the Indians were the second-best team in the Tri-County Conference and lost in the district title game to the eventual Class 3 state runner-up. Osage, which has lost its first two games this season, wouldn’t mind seeing a repeat of last year, with one exception: Turning the tables one week earlier in tonight’s conference opener against the Blair Oaks Falcons.
For the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons, winning a district track and field team championship last season was nice. But the bigger picture is to perform their best when the Class 3 track and field state championships arrive in late May.
In the opening few minutes of Tuesday night’s game, it looked as if the Blair Oaks Falcons had hit the snooze button on the alarm clock. When Blair Oaks coach Ryan Fick called timeout with 3:38 left in the first quarter, he had a metaphorical bucket of cold water ready to wake up his players. Following the timeout, the Falcons outscored the Pintos 41-10 the rest of the first half, dominating their way to a 59-30 victory in a Tri-County Conference matchup at Blair Oaks High School.
