A total of 24 Jefferson City-area players were selected to the 2023 Missouri High School Fastpitch Coaches Association all-state softball team, which was released earlier this week.
For the first time in five years, the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons and the Fulton Lady Hornets will meet on the volleyball court. And the stakes couldn’t be any higher. Blair Oaks will continue its push for a third consecutive state championship tonight in a Class 3 state sectional matchup at Fulton. First serve is scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
It wouldn’t be a softball postseason without the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons and the Fatima Lady Comets facing each other. But first, Blair Oaks had to get past the Southern Boone Lady Eagles, a team that knocked them off in the final week of the regular season. The Lady Falcons got their revenge. Blair Oaks scored two runs in the top of the seventh inning Monday night, holding off Southern Boone for a 6-4 victory in a state-ranked matchup in the Class 3 District 5 Tournament semifinals at Southern Boone High School.
Two area high school softball teams remained the top-ranked team of their respective classes, two more teams moved into the top three and three teams moved into this week’s Missouri High School Fastpitch Coaches Association rankings, which were released Wednesday.
