Blair falls to 13-3 today. We got out-coached, out-competed and out-executed. Start to finish, we got our tails kicked in at Hun today. I’d rather win games than win Instagram. Terrific job by Coach Stone and his team today. Back to work tomorrow!

Worcester took it to us in the first half (down 24). Got it back to even but couldn’t finish off the comeback. Credit to Worcester. Unsigned senior @BrendanOliver15 had 22 points. He just keeps getting better and 14 year old Ian Archbold was right in the middle of the comeback.
FINAL @WA_VBB 67 @BlairAcademyMBB 63 ‘26 Amir Jenkins (📷), ‘25 Payton Kamin stayed hot while pouring in an efficient 58pts combined from everywhere on the floor. ‘25 Chris Leman (Mercyhurst) added toughness inside. ‘25 Brendan Oliver, ‘28 Ian Archbold keyed a 2H Blair comeback
