Elkmont's football season ended with a 42-0 loss to Madison Academy last Friday night in the second round of the state playoffs. The Red Devils ended with a 7-5 record.
The Mustangs were the better team; however, Elkmont did not play up to their ability. Madison Academy scored early and often. The Red Devils' defense could not stop the run or the pass. The offense had four turnovers and could not get any offense through the air. Even though, it was a disappointing end to the season, this team has a lot to be proud of.
