The Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond football team’s playoff hopes slipped away in a heartbreaking overtime loss to Cerro Gordo/Bement Friday in Cerro Gordo.
After hosting its homecoming last week, ALAH could not play spoiler for CGB’s Homering in a back-and-forth game.
“Most fun game I’ve been a part of in my young career,” said ALAH coach Ryan Jefferson. “These are the types of games I enjoy the most, the ones where both teams battle hard for 48 minutes. Even without the win, I am so proud of our kids because of the fact that this was the first game where we battled through adversity and fought back. We have had a terrible habit of letting an opponent’s big play or a two score margin get to us mentally, and it gets us out of the grinding gear when that happens.”
The Knights scored first on a 6-yard run in the first quarter to take a 7-0 lead.
The Broncos battled back in the second quarter with a 28-yard touchdown run. The kick failed, leaving the score at 7-6.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
