The result may have been the same for the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons, but there was tangible improvement from one week to the next. “The first time we played them, we had 38 turnovers. Tonight, we were under 20 turnovers,” Blair Oaks coach Ashley Agee said following the Lady Falcons’ 54-26 loss Thursday night to the St. James Lady Tigers at Blair Oaks High School.
Helias senior Gabrielle Bax has been a superstar all postseason, but she managed to save her best for last. Bax scored a career-high 24 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers that gave the Lady Crusaders the lead for good late in the third quarter. Those six points helped propel Helias to a 51-40 win against the St. James Lady Tigers in the Class 4 girls third-place game Saturday morning at JQH Arena.
