RED DEVILS TAKE ON WILSON WARRIORS FOR TOP SPOT

The Elkmont Red Devils will be hosting the Wilson Warriors.  A win will send the Hilltop boys to the top of the Region 8 standings.  The field is going to be wet so that might favor the team with the best ground game.

More about Wilson:

“Most of these guys have played a lot of football,” he said. A lot of them played as freshmen, and they took their lumps early. We’re seeing that experience pay off.”  As expected, Jason Futrell has been a workhorse with 266 yards and six touchdowns in three games. Jon Rhodes has contributed 190 yards and two TDs.
 

“Our offensive line has been playing at a high level,” said Brown, whose team plays at unbeaten Elkmont in a key Class 4A, Region 8 game Friday. “We have some older guys mixed in with some younger guys, and it’s worked out well.”
