Sept. 16 was Okaw Valley homecoming football, and 110 points were scored between the two teams.

The only problem? SOV came out on bottom for the second straight week, 75-35 against Warrensburg-Latham.

With homecoming adrenaline pumping through its veins, Sullivan started out of the gate with touchdown passes of five and 25-yards from Brett Tuttle to Bryce Farris, and Tuttle added touchdown runs of 28 and 15- yards of his own, but every time the Redskins had success, they were matched by Warrensburg’s dynamic duo: twins Deonte and Deandre Lewis.

It was a tough week for the Okaw Valley Lady Timberwolves volleyball team.

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. I thought we would compete a little better, but our leaders didn’t perform as expected, and that was the key.” Read More

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
