After Arthur/Lovington’s two-set win over Atwood-Hammond Monday night, Lancers head coach Val Cornwell said her girls were ready for rival Tri-County.

The Lady Titans finished third in the state in class 1A last year and hadn’t lost an LOVC match in five years.

In the first set, the Lancers proved their preparedness.

AL started out 3-0, but after that, the majority of the first set was back and forth. With the game tied at 14, the Titans set up an attack that Lancer senior Hannah Schrock blocked to give the Lancers the lead and the momentum for the rest of the match.  Read More

Sullivan Okaw-Valley will be supporting breast cancer awareness during its varsity football game at 7 p.m. Friday. 

Football players and supporters will wear pink at the game in order to encourage their mothers, aunts, grandmothers, and other female friends and family members to get biennial mammograms once they reach the age of 50. SOV is supporting the cause in other ways as well: “Paint the Stands Pink” for Friday night’s varsity football game. Survivors, family members or anyone who knows someone who has been touched by breast cancer, should unite in the end zone by 6:45 to form a “Pink Tunnel” through which the varsity boys may run as they take to the field. There will also be donation buckets and pink items at the entrance of the game.

This is the seventh year for Real Men Wear Pink, a breast cancer awareness campaign carried out by St. Mary’s Hospital. Men, as well as women, are encouraged to wear pink each Friday during the month of October.

Tale of Two Sets Still in Favor of Lancers

by Kirk Whitaker
Arthur/Sullivan Reporter

The game was a story of two sets, one close, one not so much.

In the first set, Okaw Valley came out scrappy and played well for the most part against Arthur- Lovington. The Lady Timberwolves gave the Lancers all they could handle in the opening of the first set, holding leads multiple times early on before the Lancers came together and pulled away for the first set victory 25-16.  Read More
