ARDMORE/ELKMONT GAME REPORTS


Tigers Take Game

On the road to open the season, Ardmore's quarterback, Garrett Miller, completed 7 of 9 pass attempts for 139 yards and a pair of scores as the Tigers opened 2013 with a 25-14 win over Elkmont.  

For good measure, the quarterback added another score with his legs.  Miller got the Tigers on the board early, connecting with Dominic Clemmons on a 55-yard scoring pass less than three minutes into the game.


Elkmont tied the game later in the quarter when Jordan Nelson found Eli Hobbs for a 71-yard touchdown pass.  Miller scored from six yards out on a quarterback keeper in the second, but Elkmont blocked the extra point try. The Red Devils took the lead early in the third quarter on a 7-yard run by Mike Tucker.  Miller connected with Hayden Durrett on a 22-yard touchdown pass to give the Tigers the lead for good late in the third period.  A 3-yard touchdown run by Ricky Lowerey sealed the victory in the fourth quarter. Lowerey finished the game with 86 yards rushing.

ELKMONT — Control the clock. Control the score.

That was the method Ardmore head coach Clint Legg used to get his first victory over rival Elkmont Friday. The Tigers played ball control on the way to a 25-14 victory.

Ardmore had 10 players carry the football, led by junior Ricky Lowery. The bruising back finished with 19 carries for 86 yards and a touchdown.

While the running game carried Ardmore, it took a pass to jump-start the Tigers. Quarterback Garrett Miller connected with Dominic Clemmons for a 55-yard touchdown for the game’s opening score.

Elkmont answered on the next possession with a bomb of its own when quarterback Jordan Nelson got the ball to speedster Eli Hobbs behind the Tigers’ defense for a 71-yard scoring play.

Ardmore grabbed the lead entering the break when Miller scored on a keeper to make it 13-7 at halftime.

Despite being doubled up in time of possession and plays, Elkmont took the lead to open the second half on a 7-yard run by Mike Tucker. Minutes later, Hayden Durrett regained the lead once and for all on a 22-yard pass from Miller. A 3-yard rush from Lowery in the fourth quarter sealed the game for Ardmore.

Cody Fox added 66 yards on 25 carries for the Tigers. Ardmore ran for 239 yards and held Elkmont to 99.

Rhett Bailey led Elkmont with 56 yards on the ground.

Injury report:
Several Elkmont players took injuries last night, most due to muscle cramps, heat related.  Rhett Bailey was sent to the (ER), Huntsville Hospital last night.  Results: After all night in ER, they think it might be scar tissue from his previous surgeries that might be stretched or pulled. He is still in a lot of pain but they let us come home. Thanks for the prayers and best wishes. We appreciate it all! Hopefully rest for a couple days will help.
