Blackman girls land first blow in District 7-AAA race

Neither team would blink, but Blackman's girls made the big plays on both ends of the quarter down the stretch to knock off Riverdale 51-48 on Tuesday night at Blackman.

The Lady Blaze (5-1) certainly landed the first blow in the District 7-AAA race, yets it was a game that set the tone for another evenly-match league race.

"I think that's the type of game you're going to see all season long," said Blackman coach Jessika Jackson. "Two great teams with a lot of talent and a lot of grit. They're coached extremely well, and it's not going to be the last time we see them.
