The Blackman girls fate, like all other teams in the TSSAA Blue Cross Basketball Championships, depended on a blind draw held Sunday in Murfreesboro at the Doubletree Hotel. The Lady Blaze were paired with the Houston Mustangs of Germantown in the 2:45 game Wednesday afternoon in the state quarterfinals. Coach Chad Hibdon's team beat Houston December 20th in the Mid-State Christmas Tournament at Ezell-Harding 61-37...
