Tuesday started off with a non-conference loss to Central A&M, 25-13, 25-10, with several unforced errors in both sets, in which head coach Jay Potter said, “Our hitters didn’t really get started, and against a good team like A&M that has to happen.

A long trip home from Oblong Sept 10 allowed the Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond football Knights to reflect on what could have been in their 40-12 loss to the Panthers.
“There were just too many mistakes in scoring situations,” head Knight coach Dale Schuring said. “It would not have changed won/loss outcome, but it should have been closer game.”
Oblong had the ALAH team down 13-0 at the end of the half. The Knights put six on the scoreboard in the third quarter with the Panthers adding 20 points to the lead.
Fourth quarter led to another Knight touchdown with Oblong scoring seven. Read More

It looked so easy it wasn’t even funny Sept. 12.
Everyone got in on the act, as Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond’s serving and multiple weapons stifled the Sullivan hosts 25-9, 25-5.
The highlight of both sets for Arthur was from the service line.
Sophomore Taylor Powell responded with three aces after giving Sullivan its first point of the night. Two more of the eight points the Knights had were off Abby Duzan aces before Sullivan called a timeout 8-2.
There was no escaping the serves for the Redskins after the timeout. Madison Brown tore off four aces in a row--and was very close to a fifth-- before an ace and kill from Powell finished off the first set.
Powell finished the night with a team high five aces--followed by Duzan with four-- three kills and two digs.
“Our aggressive serving really threw Sullivan’s offense off,” Knights’ head coach Emily Crossman explained. “It was our best offensive strategy of the night.” Read More
