If Easton DeMilia was going to win his 100th career match on his home mat, it had to happen Tuesday night. And it wasn’t going to come in his usual weight class, either. DeMilia rallied from a three-point deficit in the second period and scored the deciding takedown with :10 remaining in overtime to win 8-6 against Camdenton’s Logan Tibben in his final match of a quad-dual at Blair Oaks High School.
The Blair Oaks boys wrestling team won’t be at full strength when it begin its season tonight at the Pleasant Hill Tournament. The Falcons likely won’t be at full strength next weekend during the Missouri Duals at Helias either. With seven wrestlers still playing with the Blair Oaks football team and a few more wrestlers suffering preseason injuries, the Falcons will be a little short-handed as they get their season underway.
The Blair Oaks Falcons advanced seven wrestlers to the Class 2 state wrestling championships Saturday, placing third in the Class 2 District 3 Tournament. The Falcons scored 140 points in the team standings. Helias won the district title with 242.5 points, while Seneca took second with 174.5 points.

The Blair Oaks Falcons continue to improve their team performance. In Blair Oaks’ first appearance at the Missouri Duals at Helias High School, the Falcons went winless. Last year, they won one dual. This year, Blair Oaks won three duals to earn a spot in the seventh-place match with Lee’s Summit, but fell 37-30 to finish eighth overall.
