Blair Oaks loses late to Osage

KAISER, Mo. - If this is how the rest of the Tri-County Conference season is going to go, fans of the league are in for a treat.

The School of the Osage Indians and Blair Oaks Falcons locked horns in an extremely entertaining, hard-fought league opener for both squads Friday, with Osage emerging with a 27-25 win.

It was a battle of state-ranked teams, and it more than lived up to the billing.
