Fresh off an emotional victory over rival and top-seeded Benedictine in the VIS Division I semifinals, Blue Ridge was never able to get into its groove against a talented Paul VI team on Saturday in the championship game.

Liberty Christian’s senior combo of 6-foot-2 forward Jelena Antic and 6-foot-3 center Hanka Musa each scored 23 points and combined for 20 rebounds as the Bulldogs held off the Saints 61-51 to advance to the state semifinals this weekend in Fairfax.
