The 2016 Lady Knights softball season got off to a promising start Tuesday despite an 8-3 loss to rival Tuscola.

Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond head coach Jerry Lane was positive about the takeaways from the contest. “There are lot of positives I can take away from this game. I got four freshmen starting, a couple sophomores and a couple juniors. We just got to get used to playing together since we have only been outside twice before today.  We get rid of one inning, and we are right there in the ball game against one of the better teams we are going to face all year.”

In a matchup of staff, aces Macy Hollingsworth for the Lady Knights faced off against Morgan Day for Tuscola. Day is a velocity strike out pitcher while Hollingsworth pitches to contact with an excellent change up.       Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
