by Kirk Whitaker
Arthur/Sullivan Reporter

Okaw Valley against Sullivan has been a heated rivalry in any sport the two teams aren’t co-opped in during recent seasons. The Timberwolves came into Tuesday night’s contest off a loss against Central A&M while Sullivan earned its first win of the young season at Windsor in which the ‘skins held the Blue Devils to 28 percent shooting.

Central A&M comes to town Thursday

by Kirk Whitaker
Arthur/Sullivan Reporter

The Sullivan Lady Redskins have become accustomed to holding standout players and teams as a whole to low point totals. Last Tuesday the Redskins held all-area candidate Taylor Edwards to eight points. A week later, Sullivan held Tuscola to 46.
