ON THE NIGHT BEFORE HALLOWEEN......


The News Courier has a nice article about the Red Devils.  You can pick up a copy at the News Courier office in Athens until next Thursday.

Elkmont finished it's regular season with a strong win over the Clements Colts.  The Red Devils did some early trick and treating as they out paced Clements by

100  yards, 386-286.

“Clements is a dangerous football team with some good players, including a quarterback who gave us fits with his scrambling ability,” Elkmont head coach Sean Holt said. “We did a good job of not allowing Ontario Patrick to get loose for the most part and made some big defensive plays along the way to help us win.”

 
Game Summary:
Jared Bailey had a solid all-around performance, rushing eight times for 115 yards and a touchdown, throwing for a touchdown, intercepting a pass and recording a team-high six tackles in a 42-14 victory.


Zeb Pankey caught a short screen pass from Jordan Nelson for a 48-yard gain and scored four plays later from nine yards out for a 21-7 lead midway through the third quarter. Clements still had an opportunity to get back within a score, but a fumble recovered by Kody Clark and two 15-yard penalties preceded Bailey’s 55-yard touchdown run which gave the Red Devils a 21-point cushion and all the momentum.


Eli Hobbs (nine carries, 53 yards) had an interception of his own, racing 60 yards down the Colts’ sideline for a touchdown three minutes into the fourth quarter. Bailey added a 59-yard touchdown pass to Noah Sharp, who was the game’s top receiver with three catches for 98 yards.

Jared Smallwood, Preston Rouse and Leslie Thompson each had five tackles for Elkmont. Isaiah Fraze had a game-high seven tackles for the Colts, while Wilson, Cook and Lance Kephart each added four.
 

Elkmont (8-2) improves to 5-0 on the road, has won three straight and six of its last seven to enter next week’s playoffs on a high note. Traveling hasn’t been an issue for these Red Devils, so a road playoff game might be cashed in for an Elkmont win. Kickoff @ 7 pm; November 7 - Haleyville

 “We’re thrilled with the way the season has gone, but we want our kids to realize this isn’t over and we have more to accomplish,” Holt said. “We don’t want this story to end. We want to add more to it.”
