For three quarters Tuesday night, Sullivan’s boys basketball team went toe-to-toe with the No. 10 class 1A Arthur-Lovington Knights.

Second-half letup almost results in loss

Last Thursday night, Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond won by a slim margin after holding a double digit lead at halftime over Casey-Westfield. History repeated itself the next day.
The Lancers held a 21-11 lead at the break over Monticello in Arthur, due in large part to eight points from junior guard Emily Seegmiller in the second quarter.
“I just told myself to keep going,” Seegmiller said. “I wasn’t just shooting for myself; I was looking for other people as well, and I just got some good looks.
“Emily is a good athlete and she was being aggressive tonight,” Lancers head coach Craig Moffett said. “In the first game of the season she scored in the low single digits, and I told her to be patient and aggressive, and these last two games she has really come out when the other teams have adjusted to Sherelle. She, as well as Alex (Miller), got some good scores down low in the first half, and that really helped us.” Read More
