LOVC title implications this week as Broncos loom

The first two weeks of football have been eventful to say the least for the Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond Knights.

But here’s some food for thought: two games; 99 points; two opening kickoffs taken back to the house; two games in which senior Jordan Faegin scored at least two touchdowns, and junior quarterback Tyler Schuring had over 150 yards of total offense; two games of running clock, JV-in-by-the-end-of-the-third-quarter-football.

You should get the picture by now.

The Knights drubbed Oakwood-Fithian/Armstrong-Potomac 40-7 last week, and the beat down started early and continued often throughout the game. 

As at Hoopston the week before, the Knights received the kickoff and returned it for the opening score—this time senior wideout Curtis Plank was the beneficiary of the lanes set up by the AL-AH kickoff return team—and Schuring added the PAT for a 7-0 lead 13 seconds into the game.

With the home crowd in frenzy, Schuring kicked the ball away, and and the Knights kickoff team stormed down the field. Senior linebacker Logan West lit up the Oakwood returner at the 30 yard line.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
