The Blair Oaks Falcons played in an offense-dominated state semifinal game last season. They might get more of the same this afternoon. Blair Oaks hosts the Park Hills Central Rebels in the Class 3 state semifinals at 1 p.m. today at the Falcon Athletic Complex. The two teams enter the game nearly averaging a combined 100 points per game.
It’s a somewhat familiar opponent for the Blair Oaks Falcons, but the stakes are much higher this time around. After playing the Moberly Spartans a total of 12 times in the regular season, the two teams will meet for the first time in the postseason tonight at the Falcon Athletic Complex. Kickoff for the Class 3 District 4 Tournament championship is at 7 p.m. The two teams have not faced each other since the 2015 season opener, which the Falcons won 42-18. Ted LePage has faced the Spartans twice during his first head-coaching stint at Blair Oaks, winning 40-0 in 2004 and 35-9 in 2005 against...
It’s a scheduling dream come true. The Blair Oaks Falcons are playing a Week 9 game against the Southern Boone Eagles with plenty on the line tonight. It’s a state-ranked matchup between the Class 3 No. 1 Falcons and the Class 3 No. 10 Eagles. There’s a chance for Blair Oaks to move up to the coveted No. 1 spot in the district standings. And, most importantly, the Tri-County Conference championship is up for grabs, as both teams enter the game with 5-0 records in Tri-County play.

Blair Oaks wraps up the regular season with two Tri-County Conference games, both against district foes. First up is tonight’s game against the Hallsville Indians.
It was far from an ideal start for the Blair Oaks Falcons. Blair Oaks lost a fumble on its first play from scrimmage, then the Seaman Vikings scored a touchdown on their first play on offense. “It was reminiscent of Lutheran North,” Blair Oaks coach Ted LePage said of the start to the game. But that’s why football games last 48 minutes, not 20 seconds.
