The Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond boys’ basketball team defeated Arthur Okaw Christian to finish out its regular season, then defeated Georgetown Ridgefarm in the first round of the Class 1A Salt Fork Regional.

Monday night, ALAH defeated Georgetown-Ridge Farm to advance to the next round.

After a close first half lead, 31-29, the Knights were able to pull away in the third by outscoring Georgetown-Ridge Farm 19-5.

From there, ALAH held on for the 56-42 win.

“It wasn’t pretty, but we survived and advanced,” said ALAH coach Dale Schuring. “The first half was lacking in effort. We played a much better second half on the defensive end and in rebounding.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
