Ryan Jefferson picked up his first win as Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond’s head football coach on the road against Martinsville Friday night.
In the wet, sloppy conditions, Jefferson expected most teams in the area would have to rely on a ground game.
“We knew going in we would be running the ball most of the night,” said Jefferson. “They did have a hard time slowing our run game. We gained almost 300 yards of offense again but also probably left another 50 to 100 yards and a couple more scores on the field because of a few fumbles.”
Despite that, the Knights’ offense still racked up 33 points, and the defense dominated for its first shutout of the year.
“I’m happy with our offensive production once again, but it’s been the story the last two games,” Jefferson said. “We cannot continue to turn the ball over, especially in our own territory which we have had a bad habit of doing.”
On a fourth down and 10, ALAH scored its first touchdown with 7:49 left in the first period when Brady Borntreger completed a 15-yard touchdown run.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
