WARDSVILLE, Mo. - All the buzz heading into Blair Oaks' state quarterfinal game was about Macon's dominating defense, a unit that allowed only 3.8 points per game in 2011. The Falcons weren't listening.

The Falcons hung 27 points on the Tigers and advanced to the Class 2 semifinals with a 27-14 victory Saturday afternoon.

After falling behind 7-0 early, Blair Oaks' offense went to work, responding with 21 straight points. The defense then hung on to pull out the win.

"I'm extremely proud of our kids," Blair Oaks coach Brad Drehle said.
