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.

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.

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.
