Elkmont Football: ELKMONT BREAKS COLTS

Another win for the Red Devils Friday night as they beat Clements Colts 35-6. There was lots of excitement starting with the mini-cheerleaders showing off their pregame show. These young ladies had attended the Elkmont cheer camp for kindergarten throught sixth grade.

Under a beautiful fall evening sky, the Red Devils came out ready to play. The Elkmont defense quickly put up a fire wall that stopped the Clements Colts in their tracks. Elkmont got the first score with a one yard run from Jared Bailey, followed by an Alexis Hernandez point after touchdown (PAT) to make it 7 - 0.

Mike Tucker got the next two scores. The first was a two yard run into the end zone and the second was a nine yard run. Alexis kicked it through the goal post on each PAT and added an extra point to each touchdown.

Red Devils next score was by Zeb Pankey on a twenty-two yard run, with a good PAT by Hernandez. Clements got on the score board with a five yard run by Carson Cook. The Colts went for 2 pt conversion but the Elkmont defense held and it was unsuccessful. The Red Devils' final score was by a Mike Tucker thirteen yard run. The PAT was good.
