MIDDLE SCHOOL DEVILS DEFEAT WEST LIMESTONE

TAZ'S GAME SUMMARY:
The Elkmont Middle School Devils got off to a good start tonight defeating the Wildcats of West Limestone, 14-6. Elkmont took the opening kickoff and had a good drive going before turning it over on a fumble.  The Devil defense held up and forced the Cats to give it up on 3 downs and out. After picking up a few first downs, the offense got clicking on a long touchdown off the right side by Eli Hobbs.  The PAT (point after touchdown) failed and the Devils led 6-0 with 1:01 left in the first quarter.

The Devil defense held again and forced a punt to begin the second quarter.  Another good offensive drive culminating in a Nelson to Moss touchdown put the Devils in the end zone for the second time. The PAT was good and the Devils led 14-0
with 6:32 to go in the half.  The Elkmont defense held again as Nelson picked off a pass. The offense sustained another drive but we went to halftime 14-0.

On the West Limestone opening drive of the second half, the Devil defense rose up with another stop on a fumble recovery by Turner. The Elkmont offense turned itover to the Cats, who again coughed up the ball after some continued hard hitting from the middle of the Devil defense. Third ended still 14-0. 


After the Red Devil offense was forced to punt early in the fourth quarter, the defense rose up with yet another stop when Norman came up with another pick to end the drive.
The Elkmont offense drove to around the 20 before turning it over on downs with just a few minutes remaining. West sustained a drive to finally get in the end zone to make it 14-6 with :48 left in the contest which was the final score of the night.

TAZ'S OBSERVATIONS: 
The Red Devils appeared to be in great physical condition with many players playing both ways the entire game with no ill effects. The coaches had a good game plan and the players executed well for the most part. They seem to have a good mix of skill players, strong linemen, a striking, stingy defense and appear to be well coached. I predict good things in the future if the team continues to work hard, listen to what is being taught and executes on the field.
