ELKMONT MIDGETS BEAT BY ONE

It was a "sitting on the edge of your seat" kind of day in Athens for the Midgets this Saturday.  The Elkmont Red Devils took the field and put the first points on the board.  But by the end of the first half, Athens was ahead 13 to 6.  

The Red Devils took the field in the second half ready to battle back. Our defense dug in and held Athens to only one touchdown.  The Elkmont offense fought their way back.  In the final seconds of the game, the Red Devils scored making the score Athens 20,  Elkmont 19.  Our Midgets never gave up!  

They stayed together as a team, dominated the second half, and brought the game close in final seconds.  Great game guys!  They will continue this week getting ready to play Clement this Saturday, September 27 at 10:30 a.m. at Clements.  Go Devils!
