Arthur-Lovington/Atwood-Hammond (2-2) struggled offensively on a rainy Friday night versus the 4-0 LSA Lions.
Turnovers proved especially costly in a game that was closer than the scoreboard would suggest. Head coach Dale Schuring commented his squad never recovered from a slow start. “We didn’t show up tonight. The first half we didn’t look like we wanted to be here.”
A 13 yard pass play from Will Cohan to Adam Day opened up the contest for the Knights; Cohan’s next pass fluttered and was intercepted.
Four plays later the Lions hit pay dirt on a slant route for a 19 yard touchdown at the 10 minute mark. ALAH went three and out on their next possession, and LSA took over 1st& 10 from their own 28 yard line with eight minutes left in the first quarter.
The second play of that Lions drive was a turning point in the contest. LSA was looking for man coverage on a first down pass attempt when Knights defensive back Kobe Wells dropped his man falling underneath a fade route. Read More

Sept. 16 was Okaw Valley homecoming football, and 110 points were scored between the two teams.
The only problem? SOV came out on bottom for the second straight week, 75-35 against Warrensburg-Latham.
With homecoming adrenaline pumping through its veins, Sullivan started out of the gate with touchdown passes of five and 25-yards from Brett Tuttle to Bryce Farris, and Tuttle added touchdown runs of 28 and 15- yards of his own, but every time the Redskins had success, they were matched by Warrensburg’s dynamic duo: twins Deonte and Deandre Lewis.
