Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond fell to the Cerro Gordo Bement Broncos 47-22 at Wilson Field on Friday.  The Broncos came out of the gait swinging scoring 41 unanswered points before the half.

The Knights regrouped, outscoring the Broncos 22-6 in the second half.  ALAH head coach Dale Schuring said the team needed to start the game with the same intensity showcased after halftime.  “We have to come out with that kind of attitude and aggressiveness in the first half against a varsity team.”

The Knights attempted an onside kick to open the contest, but the Broncos were fortunate to fall on the ball.  Setup at midfield it took Cerro Gordo four plays and under a minute to cover 50 yards on the ground taking 7-0 lead.

ALAH was also setup at midfield on their first possession thanks to a nice kick return by Marcus Vanausdoll.   Back to back Ricky Davis catches allowed the Knights to advance as far as the Bronco 36 before the drive ended with Teddy Poe sacked on fourth and ten with 8:04 left in the first.

Cerro Gordo rode tailback Dalton Grohler to his second touchdown on the ensuing drive, extending the lead to 14-0 with 6:55 left in the first.

Teddy Poe was under constant duress on the Knights’ next possession, resulting in a quick three and out.       Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
