The Arthur-Lovington-Atwood-Hammond girls’ basketball team defeated Okaw Valley on senior night to place each team tied for second place in the regular season Little Okaw Valley Conference Northwest Division in Arthur Saturday.
The Knight’s 44-28 win set each team’s LOVC regular-season record to 5-1, behind undefeated Kansas/Shiloh/Oakland in the LOVC.
The Knights took an early lead when Marissa Herschberger stole the ball and converted in transition, then scored again on another layup in transition to make the score 8-2 with just less than three minutes left in the game.
After a 15-5 lead, ALAH Marcy Petersheim hit a jumper to make it and a Knight steal and score push the lead to 19-5 with 2:56 left in the second quarter, forcing OV to take a timeout.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
