WARDSVILLE — For the first 10 minutes it was a back and forth affair. The final 22 minutes were all Fatima.
A total of 11 area players were named to the 2022 Missouri High School Volleyball Coaches Association all-state team.
Blair Oaks senior middle hitter Anna Wekenborg was in the fourth grade the last time the Lady Falcons lost a Tri-County Conference volleyball match. The last time Blair Oaks didn’t win a Tri-County volleyball title, Wekenborg had just started kindergarten. “That’s kind of crazy to me,” Wekenborg said Tuesday after Blair Oaks swept the Versailles Lady Tigers 25-23, 25-20, 25-13 for another conference title.
Not much was going right in the first half Monday night for the Blair Oaks Lady Falcons, with two exceptions: Emma Wolken and rebounding. Wolken scored 16 of her career-high 24 points in the first half, while the Lady Falcons outrebounded the Versailles Lady Tigers 27-12 in the first 16 minutes. Blair Oaks was able to overcome an 11-point deficit for a 56-45 victory in Tri-County Conference play.
