GAME SUMMARY:
In the first quarter, Elkmont scored on the first play from scrimmage when Hayden Huseth scored on a 67 yard touchdown run. The PAT was good and the Red Devils led 7-0. The Elkmont defense controlled Clements' offense during the quarter and the ball was turned back over to the offense. Jose Hernandez added a 27 yard field goal for a 10-0 lead at the end of the first quarter.In the second quarter, the Red Devil defense continued to shut down the Clements offense and Cody Martin intercepted a Colts' pass. Meanwhile, the Elkmont offense exploded for three touchdowns in the quarter. Hayden Huseth had a 7 yard touchdown run; Cole Class caught a 46 yard touchdown pass; and Skyler Gant caught a 15 yard touchdown pass. At halftime, the score was Elkmont 31, Clements 0.
In the third quarter, Cody Martin had his second interception of the night. This time he turned it into a pick six from 30 yards. At the end of the 3rd quarter, Elkmont led 38-0.
In the fourth quarter, Elkmont took out its starters. Dustin Ward had a short touchdown run and Clements added two late touchdowns. The final score was Elkmont 45, Clements 14.
OBSERVATIONS:
Elkmont played close to its potential against Clements. The offense looked very smooth and was effective, both passing and running. The defense was outstanding. Cody Martin had a terrific game with two interceptions and double digit tackles while only playing three quarters. The kicking game was strong. This was an enjoyable win for Senior Night. Elkmont is peaking at the right time. It appears Elkmont has great senior leadership and is looking forward to playing Fort Payne (5A) and then the playoffs the week after against Hanceville.
PREDICTION:
Elkmont will play 5th ranked 5A Fort Payne much better than most expect, but size and depth will prevail for Fort Payne.
Fort Payne 31, Elkmont 24.
