LA VERGNE -- No. 1 seeded Blackman was determined not to let history repeat itself in the semifinals of the District 7-AAA tournament last Saturday night.
However, they certainly faced a determined Stewarts Creek squad, who gave the Lady Blaze a lenghty battle before ultimately falling 54-43.
The victory sends Blackman into the championship game on Monday at 7:30 p.m. against No. 3 seed Oakland. Stewarts Creek and Riverdale will meet in the consolation game at 6 p.m. All four teams have secured region tournament berths.
Blackman's only blemish in regular-season play was against Stewarts Creek, and the Lady Blaze certainly had all the motivation they needed.
